Chapter 1602 Grimm's Conjecture

This is a small campsite next to a pile of rocks.

There is no campfire, no food.

The only three campers each occupy a corner, curled up and slept soundly.

But the arrival of Grimm and his party awakened them. They climbed up vigilantly, cautiously on guard, and looked ready to pounce at any time.

But when they saw the huge size of the arcane puppet and the shaking of the earth when it moved, the posture that was originally intended to pounce immediately changed to a flattering expression, and restrained all gestures that could cause misunderstandings.

Three people.

Three completely different races.

A demon, a snake demon, and a wizard...

The so-called demons are the offspring of creatures from the main material plane and demons. They often have the physical characteristics of both the mother race and the demons, and have extremely perverted and twisted personalities and experiences.

The demon in front of him is obviously a hybrid of elves and demons. The iconic long ears are quite out of place on a guy with magic patterns all over his body and indigo skin.

Logically speaking, the size of demons and elves is very different, and their personalities are even more different. I don't know under what circumstances this guy was born. In short, seeing it always makes people think of something uncomfortable.

As for the demon race of snake demons, women have always been respected, and almost all the high-ranking people in the tribe are female snake demons. However, the snake demon in the camp is a typical male, with only two arms, and has not evolved a second pair of arms. A long snake tail drags behind him, which is two meters long. The half-upright upper body is wrapped in an old chain mail, which has a faint magical aura flashing on it. It is obviously enchanted.

It holds a sharp and narrow scimitar in each hand. The length of the blade alone is 1.5 meters. It looks cold and scary from a distance. However, judging from its energy intensity, this snake demon is at best a level 3.

The first two were all aliens, so they were naturally not the ‘people’ Lucia was looking for.

Therefore, Grimm just glanced at them and skipped them, and set his sights on the third person.

The third person was a human.

He was wearing a signature black robe, with a low hood, and almost no skin was exposed, but the magic waves unique to spellcasters were rippling around him, and he seemed to be a 3rd-level wizard.

But Grimm didn’t look at people for their appearance, but for their friendly magic source.

With a blue light flashing in the depths of his pupils, Grimm only took a quick look and saw through the male wizard.

He was not a wizard, but an arcane master...

The wizard was just a disguise, and the magic core lingering in his soul was still arcane power. Such a disguise could fool others, but it was very difficult to fool Grimm, who was assisted by a chip.

Grimm sighed for no reason.

He was convinced, completely convinced...

Destiny is so strange and unpredictable. It looks mysterious on the surface, but it has a terrifying power behind it!

Lucia seemed to point in a direction at random, and they actually encountered the "arcane remnants". This probability, this possibility is so small, but it really happened...

This also made Grimm, who had no talent for destiny, secretly afraid, and never dared to underestimate any destiny-loving person again.

Grimm looked back at Lucia and saw that she was staring at the human "wizard" with a strange expression. He guessed that she might have met an acquaintance, so he said coldly to the other two campers: "You two go and wait 5 miles away first, we need to talk to this guy..."

The demon and the snake demon gathered together and looked at the human "wizard" at the same time. The three of them exchanged glances for a moment, and the two left honestly.

Judging from the situation and the posture, these three seemed to have formed a small mercenary team, and their relationship was much more solid and stable than expected.

After the two guys left, Grimm didn't say much, but quietly walked aside, leaving the scene to Lucia and the disguised "arcane remnant"...

Although Grimm retreated far away, his vision, hearing and spiritual perception could see the lines on the palm of his hand within a radius of ten miles, and he could not miss anything, and he could vaguely know the general situation within a radius of a hundred miles.

This is the power of a top demigod wizard!

After experiencing the initial shock and fear, the "arcane remnant" gradually calmed down and began to secretly look at the beautiful woman sitting on the huge arcane puppet.

At first, he thought that the other party was looking for trouble with him, and the arcane puppet was the other party's trophy, used to show off to them, the "arcane remnants".

But when his eyes fell on the beautiful woman's face, his breathing hidden in the shadow of the hood couldn't help but become a little heavier.

This woman, this woman... seems familiar!

Lucia stood tall in the giant hand of the arcane puppet, staring at the mysterious black robe with a complicated expression. With her strength as a 4th-ring arcanist and 3rd-level wizard, she naturally saw through the other party's disguise and recognized his identity...

"Sauron, is that you?" Lucia's tone was trembling: "I am Lucia!"

Hearing the name "Sauron", the mysterious black robe froze, thinking that his identity had been completely exposed. When he was at a loss, he heard the voice that haunted him.

"Lucia?!" The mysterious black robe couldn't help but step forward and asked hoarsely: "Which Lucia are you talking about?"

The arcane puppet slowly knelt on one knee, lifted Lucia and put her on the ground.

Lucia stepped on the dark soil and slowly came to the mysterious black robe. Looking at the other party's horrible face that was deliberately burned, listening to the other party's hoarse and vague voice after being poisoned, tears finally flowed down.

"Sauron, it's me, I'm Lucia! You, why did you become like this? Where are the others, the others who left with you? Where is your 3-ring arcane master grandfather..." Lucia asked repeatedly, almost crying. Before she finished asking the question, the tears on her face could not stop flowing down.

In her dreams, she had imagined countless times the scene of reuniting with her former partners, and each time it was so warm and happy, but she had never imagined such a scene in front of her...

Recalling the past, the black-robed man in front of her was also so high-spirited. Although he was a little domineering and a little dandy, he was kind-hearted. But nearly a thousand years have passed, and everything in the past has changed beyond recognition. Even the familiar partners dare not recognize each other in person...

All of this made Lucia feel heartbroken and heartbroken, and she cried and trembled.

The black-robed man looked at Lucia crying bitterly, as if he was in a daze. His face was first surprised, then sad, and the emotions suppressed in the depths of his memory burst out instantly. His painful body was hunched and twisted, and he fell to the ground, digging the soil with his hands and howling...

The two men and women who survived by chance just hugged their heads and cried!

Grimm, who had been hiding in the distance and watching, felt more and more embarrassed, and moved further away without saying a word.

Over the years, the little girl Lucia has always been very strong and stubborn. Even when she heard the news of the fall of the Arcane Empire, she never cried so much. Instead, she put more energy and spirit into the study of arcane and witchcraft.

Originally, Grimm thought that she had crossed that psychological threshold, but today it seems that everything is an illusion. All the pain and sorrow were just buried deep in her heart, and did not really disappear.

So, in this strange occasion today, Lucia finally "exploded" without any cover!

Perhaps, she is the most real her at this moment.

And the Lucia in the past was just an illusion she forcibly created for her dreams and ideas in her heart...

While monitoring the movements of the two "people" hiding in the distance, Grimm made awkward guesses.

Lucia shouldn't hold a grudge against me...

Anyway, I also represented the wizard world in the siege of the Arcane Empire, and I was one of the culprits of the fall of the Arcane Empire...

But fortunately, the fall of the Arcane Empire seems to be led by the gods, they should be considered the mastermind, and I am at most an accomplice...

No, I'm not even an accomplice, at most I'm just a bandit who took advantage of the fire to rob...

Yes, a bandit, not the culprit, nor an accomplice!

After completing the basic psychological preparation, Grimm was in the mood to consider other things.

Grimm had never had any entanglement with Lucia in terms of male and female relationships. The reason why he brought her soul back to the wizard world was purely because her soul was too special, so special that Grimm couldn't bear to let it go.

In Grimm's eyes at that time, Lucia was just a poor creature whose family was broken up. Except for the special soul that had some research value, she was useless.

Later, Lucia was valued by Alice and became her disciple. She showed her talent in the field of destiny, and Grimm paid more attention to her.

As for now, Lucia has performed very well in some recent major events, and it can even be said that she saved Grimm's life in disguise. Therefore, out of the mentality of repaying a favor, Grimm promoted Lucia to the same important position as Alice and Mary, and put down his status and took the risk to accompany her to break into the abyss.

Grimm can do this, which proves that Lucia has such value.

Although he has no love affair with Lucia, he has completely recognized her strength in his heart and regarded her as a partner who can be entrusted with some trust.

Therefore, the more he values ​​Lucia, the more Grimm cares about his true impression in her heart!

And the Arcane Empire seems to be a threshold that the two of them can never get around...

Knowing that it will be so embarrassing, why did Alice arrange for me to protect "her"?

Oh, yes, Alice has always been as cunning as a fox, and never does meaningless things. Why is she so active and determined to let me participate in this matter this time?

Could it be...

Is Alice trying to resolve the "knot" between me and Lucia through this trip?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the case. Grimm can only shake his head and smile helplessly, and continue to take on this boring "guardian" task!
