Wizard's Journey

Chapter 301 Five People

The tedious and monotonous days passed by one by one, but for Green, it was as if he had undergone a thorough spiritual cleansing and sublimation, quietly experiencing the perspective that belongs to a higher level of life.

One hundred years later, the Seven Rings Prison.

"Hehehe, young master, today is the last day of your seventh-ring prison sentence. One hundred years have passed. Is there anything you'd like to say?"

The myna flew up to Green and asked.

With incredibly steady, deep, and calm eyes, and a faint smile beneath his messy, golden hair.

At this moment, apart from his head, Green's body seemed to be completely embedded in a huge metal sphere. Unless he used his talent of being connected to the spacetime coordinates of the myna to break free of the seal, Green would have no freedom of movement even without the application of attributes such as magic suppression and weakness.

The giant metal sphere, with its six sides connected by six chains, was suspended in mid-air in the magic-suppressing room.

The greatest punishment for a wizard is to squander time. In this cruelly confined, semi-sealed seventh-ring prison, which should have been maddeningly lonely, Grimm found a sliver of joy and solace in the company of his myna bird.

Grimm and the myna share the same original coordinates, so even if Grimm is sealed and unable to use any magic, the myna can still come to Grimm's side and accompany him by freely entering and exiting dimensional gaps.

It was also during this century that Green truly came to understand the meaning of a soulmate.

This feeling is a close relationship that transcends kinship, a bond of shared destiny.

With the composure and maturity of a formal wizard in his eyes, a perspective befitting a higher being, Green murmured, "I really want to take a hot bath."

Bored, the myna flapped its wings and flew to an iron chain, lying down without any regard for appearances. Its head was resting on its wings, its legs crossed, and it hummed, "Back in the day, when I wandered through the gaps in latitudes, that was true despair. What's a hundred years...?"

One day later.

Squeak, rumble, rumble...

As the mechanical gears that Green had been waiting for for a hundred years finally sounded, the myna bird, which was dozing soundly on the chain, was startled and fell off the chain in a panic, disappearing into the dimensional gap in mid-air.

Boom!

After the door to the anti-magic room was fully opened, a young female wizard devotee entered the room, holding a scroll of contracts in her hand, which was none other than the scroll of Grimm's Judgment.

The witch devotee looked at Grimm, and Grimm looked back at her; their eyes met.

This witch has long brown hair, wears a simple and understated wizard's robe, has malty skin, and looks very gentle and kind.

The witch smiled and said, "Congratulations, the Judgment Contract is about to end, and you will regain your freedom. In the past hundred years, a total of five witch hunters have come here to investigate your information."

Five people?

Green nodded and said in a deep voice, "Thank you."

The witch devotee fell silent, simply holding the scroll and patiently waiting for the complete 100-year, 7-ring prison punishment to end.

About half an hourglass time later.

As the seven rings of will in the witch's parchment scroll rippled slightly, the witch smiled and said, "Green, congratulations on regaining your freedom and being reborn."

After saying this, the witch attached the parchment scroll in her hand to the metal sphere that had partially sealed Grimm.

Plop...

Green felt as if the solid metal sphere that had sealed him for a hundred years was now like a lake, and the weak and powerless Green was completely submerged in it.

Immediately following, a ripple appeared at the bottom of the metal sphere, and Green fell from beneath it toward the ground.

"Waaah..."

Even with all his might, Green was too weak. The metal ball was only three meters off the ground, yet it was about to cause Green to fall down in a very embarrassing manner.

At this moment, Green was like a newborn baby.

At the crucial moment, a force of nature held Green back.

It was the witch devotee who stepped in and prevented Green from making a fool of himself. She then handed Green a wizard's robe, seemingly used to such situations.

With great difficulty, Green weakly and tremblingly accepted the wizard's robe and draped it over himself.

At the same time, Green felt as if every cell in his body was a hungry wolf, desperately absorbing the natural power from all directions and transforming it into pure magic.

After a while, Green, who was half-crouched in the air, finally managed to recover some of his strength and magic power. Only then did he try to stand on the ground and walk independently step by step towards the magic-suppressing room of the Seventh Ring Prison.

The witch followed behind Green, watching over him.

The journey out of the prison wasn't long, but it took Green almost an hour to walk, and he was even panting with sweat dripping from his forehead.

But Green gritted his teeth and kept walking, toward the true freedom that belonged to him after accepting his punishment, with the witch devotee following closely behind him.

Green is really too weak.

Finally, gradually, a ray of natural sunlight from the wizarding world shone on Green's pale skin. In his extreme excitement, he stumbled and was helped up by the witch devotee behind him.

"Green!"

"Green".

"Green..."

Weakly raising his head, Green looked at the five people waiting for him outside the cell: Millie, Mina, Kredia, Solem, and... Wiki!

Mina, the Son of the Sun; Millie, the Ice Age.

The two sisters had a very close relationship with Green, so it was only natural that they would come to visit him; Green had already guessed this.

Mina's crimson hair flew in the wind, and her bright, pure fiery eyes were fixed on Grimm. She had once been a pampered princess during her wizarding apprenticeship, but now, as a devotee, she wore a low-key wizard's robe, and her temperament had gradually become more composed.

In contrast to Mina, Millie, as Mina's older sister, has a more composed personality.

Even when they were on an expedition to the Shadowy Enigma world together, Grimm once pulled him back from the brink of death, and thus a rare and genuine bond was formed between dark wizards.

Beneath her silvery-white hair, Millie's icy eyes held a hint of joy as she stood beside her sister, gazing at Green.

As for the remaining three...

With a devilishly alluring and seductive figure, Clementia wore a playful and bewitching smile. Her red scorpion-patterned short skirt partially concealed the key parts of her mysterious body, and she still looked like a man-eating demon.

During the Holy Tower Battle, it was this woman who made a pact with Grimm, allowing him to sweep through the five regions and establish an unparalleled advantage in points among the same generation of wizard apprentices in the Seven Rings Holy Tower, in obtaining the Heart of the World fragments.

However, instinctively, Green had always felt a certain aversion to this once infamous witch.

However, today...

After nodding and smiling at Millie and Mina, Green also smiled slightly at the witch, who, though once infamous, was also full of wisdom, and quickly received a look of delight in her eyes.

Solem, the man who, along with the Masked Wizard, influenced Grimm's entire life, possessed one of the strongest talents during his wizarding apprenticeship: "immortality."

Green once guessed that his so-called immortality talent was nothing more than an accidental union with some illusory creature, which is why he was extremely afraid of any sealing ability.

Equally outstanding intelligence.

As dark wizards grow older and more experienced, they will have fewer and fewer friends, and their social interactions will become increasingly limited.

However, the dark wizard Soram in front of us had already begun to make a large number of friends during his wizarding apprenticeship, hoping to make up for his shortcomings in the future.

Dressed in a black wizard's robe, Soram had completely concealed his previous embarrassment, and smiled as he said in a deep voice, "Grin, congratulations on your rebirth."

Green, though weak, also smiled and said, "Thank you."

Finally, Green turned his gaze to the wizard apprentice, Earthheart Wiki, who also possessed a self-created system of witchcraft during the Holy Tower Battle and whom even Green couldn't defeat.

With a tall and imposing body like granite, Viki stood out like a small giant from another land next to the other four.

Long ears, prominent cheekbones, a stubble on his chin, and wise, sharp eyes that also held a sense of weight and composure. A golden crown adorned his black hair, and the leather skirt he once wore had been replaced by a suit of metal armor.

With an enormous hammer slung across his back, Wiki grumbled, "Originally, after much consideration, you were the only one suitable to travel with me to the deepest abyss, after all, you are also an excellent body-refining wizard. But your crystal ball connection showed that you were in the seventh ring prison, so I had to travel alone. I'll come and see you when I get back."

Green said regretfully, "I also very much look forward to exploring the deepest abyss..."

As Millie and Catherine helped Green away from the witch devotee, Green suddenly smiled at the brown-haired witch devotee.

"Thank you, you're beautiful."

The witch paused for a moment, then revealed a carefree and innocent smile.

"I thought all dark wizards were cold and aloof. Thank you for the compliment, but I will not accept any more partners."

Green turned around and flew forward, half-supported by Millie and Kredia, muttering, "Me too."

Soram led the way, saying, "I've already reserved seats at the food street. Let's all celebrate Green's rebirth together..."
