Chapter 1231 The Road Ahead
"Master, the wizard seems to have recognized me. Look"
The insect witch Bliss licked his lips lightly, looking hungry and impatient.
"Keep an eye on him. If they just report the information, let them do it. If there are any other intentions, I don't mind bloodbathing this route." Greem looked around the surrounding scenery and said decisively.
"Understood! Leave it to me"
The insect witch Bliss laughed ferociously, and the insect body hidden under the black robe squirmed slightly. A torso the size of a little finger fell to the ground and shattered into countless tiny black beetles, which silently swarmed along the floor in all directions.
It only took less than a quarter of an hour for the entire aerostat to be monitored in detail.
In particular, Ralph, the level 2 association wizard who was responsible for controlling the aerospace craft, was attached to the soles of his shoes by a swarm of black insects, and became the focus of the insect swarm's surveillance and review, but he did not know it.
In the middle of the night, the aerospace boat flew above the thick clouds, with the vast black forest below.
A faint invisible barrier enveloped the periphery of the airship, eliminating its traces.
With this invisible barrier, most monsters with low intelligence cannot detect the existence of the airship, thus ensuring the safety of navigation. As for those who can detect the existence of the airship through faint witchcraft fluctuations, they are already frightened by the wizards of the association, and naturally they do not dare to easily rob vehicles with the association's logo.
At night, in order to maintain the secrecy of the airship, all wizards on board are prohibited from using any witchcraft. Therefore, out of boredom, they either walked onto the flight deck and admired the black forest shrouded in night, or hid in their residences to do some research or meditation.
And at the bottom of the cabin, in a tightly guarded room, Ralph was sitting in front of a wooden table, communicating with someone at the headquarters through a strange diamond-shaped crystal.
"Are you sure you are the legendary fire wizard?" On the other side of the crystal was an elderly wizard, who was frowning as he listened to Ralph's story, and finally couldn't help but interject.
"I'm not sure about this! But it's very likely."
"Why are you so judgmental?"
"Because it has been determined that one of the two black robes is the insect witch Bliss, and he can be regarded as one of the core combat forces in the Crimson Family over the years. But according to my observation, the insect witch seems to be special to the other person. He respects the other person and always shows the attitude of giving priority to the other person, so I speculate that the other person is probably the Crimson Clan leader Greem."
"Well, according to what you said, the possibility that the other one is Grim is really high. At least he seems to be the only one in the Crimson family who meets these characteristics. When will your voyage arrive at the end?"
"37 days later"
"I understand, then just keep monitoring. Don't do anything, and don't pay special attention to these two people. I will make arrangements as appropriate. Be careful not to anger these guys. No level 4 wizard is good at it. Generations!”
"Yes, I understand."
And little did Ralph know that while he was hiding in a room protected by multiple witch formations and secretly communicating with distant places, a dozen tiny black spots on the floor under his feet that were difficult to discern with the naked eye were silently monitoring his every move.
In a simple cabin on the second floor of the ship.
The insect witch Bliss was sitting cross-legged on the empty wooden bed. His body under the black robe swelled and squirmed from time to time, looking particularly scary.
On his exposed ferocious insect head, the numerous compound eyes surrounding the insect pupils were flashing alternately, and hundreds of strange pictures were faintly reflected inside. Some are figures moving quietly in the cabin, some are figures chatting on the deck, and even more are figures browsing books or meditating deeply.
You must know that most wizards have a perverted fear of their own safety, so they will never enter deep meditation in a place that is not absolutely safe.
The insect swarms spread by the insect witch Bilisi can hide from the monitoring witch formation on the aerospace craft, and can hide from the warning witch formation arranged by these wizards in the cabin, and sneak into such a close place to monitor their every move. This also means that the other party's life and death is actually in his hands.
With Bliss's methods, it would be easy to kill any of them. Even more sophisticatedly, Billis could arrange their deaths as an unexpected backlash from a witchcraft experiment, making it impossible for others to see any flaws.
This sense of dominance where the life and death of the enemy is up to me and the situation is under control is what Bliss is most obsessed with!
However, no matter how arrogant he was, there was still an area on the ship that he would never dare to approach easily.
That was the room where Grimm, the head of the Crimson Family, rested.
Perhaps it was because the other wizards on the aerospace craft were of too low a level to realize and feel the almost explosive and terrifying energy radiation in Greem's body. In their eyes, Greem was just a slightly lonely and quiet level 1 wizard.
But in Bliss's view, Greem is simply a moving volcano, and it is still a terrifying volcano that has been suppressed for thousands of years and is preparing for a world-shattering explosion. And the cabin he lived in was filled with terrifying fire energy that made even Bliss feel numb.
Every time he directed the swarms of insects to crawl around on the aeroship, Bliss tried his best to stay away from Grim's room. He was truly afraid, worried that the approach of the insect swarm would trigger the silent volcano.
If this terrible power erupts, I am afraid that this airship and the wizard on it will be completely vaporized by the terrifying flames in an instant, and there will be no trace of bones left.
In the cabin where Grimm lived, he finally opened his eyes leisurely.
The fire coral wizard staff standing in front of him has been burned red all over. The strong high temperature has even distorted the surrounding void, making the scene in the room become extremely strange.
An illusory fire chain was built between the fire god bead on the head of the staff and Grimm's rule heart. A stream of extremely pure flame energy like boiling magma flowed back and forth between the fire chains. Every time it runs, it seems that the energy itself will undergo some strange changes.
The color also changed from the original red to white, gradually turning to golden yellow.
And this color change also means that the level of flame energy is constantly improving.
Ever since seeing the flame king in the depths of the Sea of Ashes, Grimm has had a general direction for the energy form of high-level creatures. Now, if he wants to continue to improve himself, he needs to deepen his understanding of fire on the one hand, and improve his mental power crazily on the other.
Without extremely high mental power, don't even think about controlling those violent and dangerous fire elements; without extremely high mental power, don't even think about compressing and purifying the unruly fire elements
When his own level was still very low, Grimm's understanding of the fire element was that it was a kind of elemental particle that could be controlled and kneaded at will. However, as his understanding of fire deepened and his mental acuity improved, he felt more and more the character of fire
Yes, fire also has its own character!
Just like the gentleness of the water element, the unruly wind element, and the sluggish and solid earth element, the fire element that Grimm desperately wants to master is so passionate and unrestrained. Following their elemental characteristics, everything will become very simple. But if you go against their elemental characteristics, the caster will find that they are so difficult to get along with.
The power of fire lies in its violence and destruction.
Such a flamboyant and wild element in the hands of a lukewarm wizard will naturally not be able to exert its full power. Only those who are violent and never care about the consequences can bring the power of fire magic to its extreme.
In contrast, Grimm has restrained his nature too much in previous battles and relied too much on the assistance of the chip.
Although this has improved safety a lot, it has also hindered the deep integration of his body and mind with the fire element.
Especially at the 4th level, Grimm can feel the resistance and restlessness from the fire element with every step forward. And the inability to tame the fire element has also made Grimm's own perception of fire a little sluggish.
However, after thinking this through, Grimm did not regret it!
The flame that can be controlled in one's own hands is the good flame. If in order to improve his affinity with the flame, he must sacrifice some of his rationality, then Grimm would rather be rejected by the fire element.
But this does not mean that Grimm intends to give up the flame.
Since he couldn't let go of his body and mind to accept the transformation of the fire element, and couldn't rely on the violence and ferocity of the fire element for his safety, Grimm could only find another way and use other methods and means to improve the level of his own flame energy.
His own perception of flames was not enough, and he couldn't continue to compress and purify the flame energy, so he had to find a substitute. And Grimm's choice was: the Fire God Pearl!
Grimm built a fire chain between the Heart of Rules and the Fire God Pearl, and sent the flame energy condensed in his body into the Fire God Pearl, using its power to continuously compress and purify it. Then he transmitted the compressed and purified strange flame back to the Heart of Rules, and used the strange law power contained in it to radiate and strengthen the Heart of Rules
Due to Grimm's current mental power and the tolerance of the Heart of Rules, such radiation transformation can only be done step by step, slowly, and the time is very long and arduous.
Therefore, in the strange perception of the insect witch Bilis, he found that there was an extremely terrible flame energy in Grimm's room at all times. Its intensity, its severity, and its power level have clearly surpassed Grimm's current level!
This made Bilis even more surprised and shocked, and from the bottom of his heart, he felt an unmatched mentality of submission.
