Wizard's Journey

Chapter 319 The Ice Field on the Surface (Part 10)

Under the control of the Blood Doll, the Shadow Starfleet flew towards the command post.

Green had decided to stop wasting time searching for possible entrances to the World Nest on the ground and instead began reviewing the basics of ice elemental magic inside the Spy Shadow Meteor Pod.

On this day, a group consisting of three spaceships, hundreds of Ming wizards, and a legion of thousands of slave monsters in the distance startled Green and Myna, who were flying at high speed.

After thinking it over, Shadow Starfall still moved closer to it.

At this moment, Green's location coordinates are only about a month's journey from the space fortress combat command center.

Could it be that some kind of war has broken out on the ice fields of this world?

In the distance, the captains of the numerous Ming Wizards' formations naturally noticed the approaching Shadow Starfall. With a single command, three spaceships and the vast procession came to a neat halt.

The Shadow Starfall is, generally speaking, the magical vehicle and artifact of the Shadow Wizard.

A Shadow Wizard represents a Level 3 Demon Hunter Wizard with a Level 2 or even Level 1 Honor Medal. Their authority far exceeds that of the squad leader, and they may even have the right to communicate directly with the Stigmata Wizards who are fighting.

call out!

The black metal sphere flew steadily to the front of the vast procession. Under the watchful eyes of a group of Ming Wizards, three spaceships, and thousands of slave monsters of all shapes and sizes, the upper metal shield of the Shadow Starfall slowly opened.

"A...a Level One Demon Hunter Wizard!?"

Many of the Ming wizards looked on incredulously, and even the legion of soul slave monsters stared at each other in disbelief.

Only the person at the very front of the large group of Ming Wizards stared at the Level 1 Demon Hunter Wizard in the Shadow Starfall, paused for a moment, and then suddenly thought of something.

The greyish-white spiral patterned mask, the ram's horn and skull magic wand, the dark and wide wizard robe, and the lifelike and beautiful myna bird on the shoulder—isn't this the first-level demon hunter named Grimm, personally named by the great Black Sota Saint Mark Wizard before the demon hunter expedition?

After thinking for a moment, the demon hunter dark wizard greeted him, "Grin?"

Grimm glanced at the sole demon hunter wizard at the front of the group, who was waving at him, and thought in surprise, "A level two demon hunter dark wizard?"

Green hadn't expected that his appearance would cause such a large group of wizards to stop. He remembered a similar encounter back in the Shadow Mystery world.

At that time, only one demon hunter wizard was assigned to the Ming wizard team to briefly look after and inquire about the situation.

However, after performing the wizard's salute, Green asked the demon hunter, "I have reached the edge of the world and intend to return to the fortress to submit my quest."

Then, Grimm glanced at the massive army and asked疑惑地问道, "Is war about to break out on the ice plains of this world?"

The level-two dark wizard paused, then said in a low voice, "No, it was just a special place that I stumbled upon while on a mission, and the operations command assigned me this new task."

Is he also a demon hunter dark wizard on a special mission?

Was it also the discovery of a special place?

Green didn't inquire about the detailed mission information. After a brief greeting, Green apologized and took his leave from the commander of the Ming Wizard Array Legion.

The commander of this Ming Wizard phalanx legion was a magnanimous and good-tempered wizard.

This is a level-two old wizard with a long black beard, wearing a top hat, with a pair of elemental eyes that are azure blue, and a crystal ball in his hand that seems very special, with unusual fluctuations. He is standing on the back of a giant bird that is more than ten meters long.

High in the sky, the colossal spaceship, a full three hundred meters tall, blocked out the sunlight, casting a shadow on the Ming Wizard commander.

Seeing that the other party was not angry or upset for delaying the team's mission, Green nodded apologetically, closed the metal shield of the Shadow Starfall, and flew away quickly into the distance.

Inside the Spy Shadow Meteorite pod, Green's eyes gleamed as he said, "It seems that this 'encounter' is not just a coincidence that we discovered."

"Hehehe, whatever, it seems our next mission is to lead a large army of little wizards to find the ice bats and launch a devastating attack, hehehe..."

The myna bird squawked excitedly, as if it wanted the bird to give it orders.

Green shook his head. It seemed this guy hadn't realized he was just a guide.

……

A month later.

Countless tiny black dots flew around the majestic space fortress standing in the sky, and Green put away his Shadow Starfall and flew over alone.

Among them, besides the teams of demon hunters and slave legions constantly heading into the Nest of the World to fight, there were also teams of mechanical puppets transporting goods and wounded soldiers.

These mechanical puppets, either individually carrying a sealed metal cage or several working together to lift a large metal cage, contained trembling creatures from the lair world, gazing with fearful and bewildered eyes at the indifferent, cruel, and terrifying demon hunters around them.

Green has discovered that there are only two basic forms of life in this world.

One type has long hair all over its body for warmth, while the other has ice armor covering its entire body for protection against the cold. Strangely, in this cold world with its own set of rules, no ice element life forms have been born.

Roar!

Beside Green, four five-meter-tall mechanical puppets held aloft a seven-meter-cubic-meter metal cage, which was crammed full of a large six-legged creature covered in ice armor.

In extreme fear, the creature struggled and roared desperately, trying to get away from the massive, blood-red metallic object in the sky.

Surprisingly, this primitive creature did not collapse like the other enslaved creatures in this world.

Squeak...

Sparks flew from the four mechanical puppet hands, and the large creature trembled and lost control of its bladder, seemingly completely stunned by the electric shock.

"My Lord Wizard."

The mechanical puppets greeted Grimm in stiff voices; this was just basic programming, not intelligent behavior.

Green nodded slightly. "Mm."

Without any emotion, the four mechanical golems continued to carry the cage toward the space fortress made of blood-red metal. They were just an insignificant member of the countless mechanical golems plundering and transporting the golems.

After flying for a while, with a "thud," Green's feet landed steadily on the metal plaza deck of the space fortress.

The fortress was already filled with metal cages of all sizes, and the low-intelligence primitive creature slaves inside the cages howled and roared in waves.

High in the sky, several enormous, bizarrely shaped soul slave monsters occasionally swept by, patrolling the area.

"Hmm? We're starting spatial coordinate positioning now?"

The coordinates of the world teleportation array can take anywhere from several years to several decades. Generally, it is only done after the Demon Hunting Expedition has been settled and the situation has stabilized.

This level six Saint Mark Archmage of Black Sota truly doesn't act according to common sense.

As they passed through the bustling fortress square, numerous mechanical golems and soul slaves respectfully made way for Grimm, only returning to their tasks after the wizard had completely departed.

Enter the low wizard tower in the center of the fortress square.

Compared to the later stages of the Demon Hunting Expedition, after the initial busy period, the interior of the fortress wizard tower is now in a relaxed state. Some wizards in the small pavilion on the second floor are even humming tunes and enjoying a cup of fragrant coffee.

"Young master, young master, my goodness, look!"

Eight creatures, perched on Green's shoulders, suddenly cried out excitedly, one of their wings pointing at the witch who was submitting her quest.

Green looked over and was slightly taken aback. Another myna bird?

However, the myna on the witch's shoulder was smaller, thinner, and longer than the baby myna, and its feathers were yellow and green, rather than the baby myna's red and green.

"Uh, no, it's a parrot," Green exclaimed.

"Gaga, hello, I am the great Steel Emblem Eight..."

The myna was in a good mood and flew over to greet them.

Before Xiao Ba could finish speaking, the parrot on the witch's shoulder turned around, glanced at Xiao Ba, and said with a look of disgust, "You lowly myna, don't come near me. The noble Bauhinia Parrot is not someone a lowly, filthy myna like you can be worthy of."

Grimm's mouth gaped open beneath the mask of truth: "This...this!?"

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Xiao Ba suddenly screamed like a madman. The high-pitched scream even made some of the leisurely wizards in the second-floor attic lean on the railing and look over.

"Damn it, you stupid, stinky parrot with an incomplete cellular evolutionary history and a distorted soul, how dare you speak to a majestic, sacred steel-emblemed myna standing before you like that? I, your Eighth Master, am going to tear your mouth apart today..."

Green quickly summoned back the myna bird, exchanged apologetic nods with the strange witch, and left the troublesome place, flying towards the second-floor pavilion.

If a myna and a parrot got so angry that they started fighting on the spot, they would be laughed at to death by a group of bored wizards.

"What kind of thing is this, daring to act so noble in front of Eighth Master? Damn it, really..."

The myna bird continued to grumble and curse. This guy was always the kind of person who would take advantage of others. Today, he was in a good mood and greeted a fellow "pseudo-kin," but who knew he would run into someone even more venomous than himself.

This time, the myna bird was truly furious.

Green shook his head and advised, "Alright, alright, you used to call me a lowly parrot and a dirty parrot too."

"I was simply stating facts and telling the truth, but it's jealous of me and insulting me!"

The myna bird argued angrily.

There was really nothing more to say to this guy, so Green walked towards a young-looking male wizard with short black hair.

The wizard had apparently just witnessed the humorous scene of the myna and the parrot arguing, and even smiled and took the initiative to greet the myna. The myna angrily flapped its wings, looking indifferent.

After nodding to the wizard, Green submitted the crystal image of his mission and the Black Chain Mark.

A little while later.

The male wizard exclaimed in surprise, "You're Grimm? Here's a message left specifically for you by the Black Sota Saint Mark Wizard."

"Um?"

Green looked toward the other person's crystal ball.

"Hehehehe, little guy, go find that crab. It will carry out your orders perfectly in this world. Take good care of your life. Before this world's mission ends, I'll give you a special task. Interesting, very interesting indeed, hehehehe..."

The blurry figure of the Black Tower Saint Mark Wizard laughed wildly and sinisterly.

With a soft "poof," the video ended.
