Chapter 1172: Wizards and Arcanists

"Mary in danger?"

Grim asked rhetorically.

Alice in the magic water mirror sighed faintly.

"You're all underestimating the natives of the plane. Although they are not as good as the wizarding world in all aspects, they will also give birth to some plane powerhouses under the coincidence of marriage. ”

"What's in the Haysom plane?"

"The indigenous gods, that is, the totemic gods recorded in the books!"

Grim was silent for a moment.

It only took a moment for the chip to call up all the information related to the totem god in the database, and it also made Grim instantly understand the risks faced by Mary.

Totem gods can barely be regarded as a regional god, unlike other gods, who place their kingdom in the interdimensional layer that the mundane world cannot reach. And the kingdom of the totem god is hidden in the material plane, which also gives mortals in the world a chance to touch the gods.

When encountering such a regional god, as long as the wizards fight steadily and do not casually break into their earthly god kingdom, they still have a certain advantage in force.

After all, these totem gods are fifth-order creatures within their own kingdom, but once they leave the kingdom of gods, they will also be shackled by the laws of the plane, and they can only exert their strength of about the fourth order. This is one of the main reasons why they are so reluctant to step out of the kingdom of God.

Therefore, for this kind of totem god, the wizards also have a set of ways to deal with them.

That is to slaughter its followers, cut the foundation of their faith, and then set a trap outside to force the totem god to leave the kingdom of God and fight with him outside the kingdom of God.

"What do you mean...... Mary is going to run to the Quetzalcoatl's lair to fight him?" Grim couldn't help but have a headache.

"Judging from the current situation, it's hard to say whether Mary is lucky or unlucky!" Alice sighed faintly again: "Fortunately, the Quetzalcoatl God that Mary is facing has just given birth to a descendant, and his strength has dropped from the 5th order to the 4th order ...... level."

Hearing this, let alone others, even Grim couldn't help but lick his lips lightly, and his mouth became a little dry.

A divine artifact whose strength has plummeted because of 'production' is a huge temptation that is difficult for any fourth-order wizard to refuse. Such an opportunity is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

However, after so many years of experience in the wizarding world, Grim also knows that any opportunity goes hand in hand with risk. If you want to get a lot of benefits, you have to take a lot of risks, and they are always proportional to each other.

"You haven't said it's unfortunate!" asked Grim calmly.

"That Quetzalcoatl seems to be showing weakness. When Mary invaded its kingdom step by step with the Blood, slaughtering its people, she also chose to show weakness and lure the enemy deeper. Currently, Mary is leading people to the Troll Capital, which is also the lair of Quetzalcoatl. ”

Speaking of this, Alice glanced at Grim worriedly.

"I can sense that there will be a fierce battle there in the future. However, I have never been able to see how the situation will develop. After all, it was Quetzalcoatl's lair, covered by the power of faith, and even if I advanced to the 4th rank, I wouldn't be able to see through its layout, let alone see the development of the situation. ”

"So Mary is in danger?" said Grim in a deep voice.

"It's an alien plane, and my sense of fate doesn't extend that far. But I can sense that Mary is at a huge turning point in her fate, one foot is life, the other is death, and there are so many factors that affect the future......"

"I immediately informed Gargamel and Meryl to do the best they could to help Mary. Magic Legion, Demon Puppet Dragon...... These guys are all transferred to me. I don't believe that the flesh and blood of the natives of those planes can withstand the onslaught of berserk weapons. That Quetzalcoatl god wants to play yin, so I'll send someone to smash his lair!" As soon as Grim heard that Mary was in danger, his heart became angry.

"Ahem, you still don't understand what I mean......" Alice sighed again, "This is a dangerous situation, but also an opportunity! Don't you want Mary to have a great future development? She seized it, and the opportunity was hers. If she can't grasp it, or if we interfere indiscriminately, then the opportunity that belongs to her will slip away. ”

With that, Alice glanced at Grim again.

"You...... Are you sure you want Mary to be a little witch who will always be attached to you? You have carried all the dangers for her, all the opportunities, nothing but her to be safely attached to your wings?"

Grim was dumbfounded.

"Besides, Mary's personality is there! Do you think she'll enjoy this kind of life? To put it mildly, she's taken the risk alone, apparently influenced by the news of my promotion. At this time, we deprive her of one more chance of the most likely rise, and she will go crazy......"

Grim pondered for a moment, then finally made up his mind.

"Shadow Fiend, you go to the Hazen Plane at once to find and protect Mari-sama. Remember, as long as Mary is not in danger of death, no matter how serious the loss of the Bloodline is, she is not allowed to act early. Go for it......"

At Grim's command, a slight ripple came from the shadows beneath him, and everything returned to peace. If Grim hadn't had a soul connection to the Shadow Fiend, he would have been unable to detect his departure.

"That's enough!" Alice nodded, "Mary is not a fool, and if she is not sure, she will not easily step into the nest of that stinky snake." And the other party, in the final analysis, is just a fourth-order feathered serpent that has mastered part of the power of divine magic. Besides, it is still hatching offspring, although Mary will take a certain risk, but the opportunity also exists, it depends on whether she can grasp it!"

Now that the arrangements had been made, Grim forced himself to stop thinking about what was happening on the other plane, and instead switched the subject.

"How did you advance to the 4th rank this time? Could it be that it has something to do with the 'Son of the Plane' you mentioned last time?"

Speaking of this, Alice immediately became frowning and laughing.

"The reason why I was able to advance this time was because of the strange soul you brought back from the Morian plane. With her, I was able to lure back a huge amount of destiny from the dying Morian plane, and I was able to advance to the ranks. ”

"What about the soul?"

"She gave me the power of fate, and I gave her an energy body. Now, she's in my Tower of Destiny, locked herself in my private library, almost desperately remembering the knowledge of witchcraft......"

"She's an arcane apprentice, and she's a 'child of the plane'. You're not worried about what she's going to do in the future?"

"Let's make trouble!" Alice said leisurely, "It's not me who protects her now, but the power of fate in the wizarding world." I don't know what the plane consciousness has in mind about her, and obviously looks at her differently. ”

Seeing Alice mention this question, Grim hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Alice, in your opinion, what is the essential difference between us wizards and these arcanists, and will we have a common origin?"

Alice smiled indifferently.

"We are wizards, not mages, not arcanists. We come from chaos and end up in chaos, and even if we are regarded as evil by sentient beings, we cannot change our origin. If you want to become a wizard, dangers, taboos, and unknowns are always with us. ”

"Those mages and arcanists originally came out of the same origin as us, but for the so-called spread of civilization and knowledge, they repeatedly eliminated the chaotic part of the origin system, eliminated all the dangerous parts and unknown elements of witchcraft, and castrated them into spells or arcane arts that can be systematically cast and released. ”

"In this way, it really increases the universality of witchcraft, so that those who are not originally gifted or talented enough can become part of the system. However, this kind of castrated witchcraft will also be greatly weakened, and it will lose any trace of original connection with the dimensional world. ”

"Besides, what determines the strength of a spellcaster group is the number of members, or the power of the leader individual?Grim, you are already a 4th-order wizard, so you should be able to understand who is more valuable between a 4th-order and ten 3rd-order?"

"Based on you now, how many Tier 3 creatures do you need to match you? ten, hundred, or two hundred? I'm afraid in your eyes, no matter how many Tier 3 creatures there are, they are not enough to become your real enemy!"

"The fallen Arcane Empire has also created such a beautiful and glorious Arcane civilization. Like us, they are all spellcasters and have similar origins. But in the process of development, they discarded the too bloody and cruel part of the primitive spellcasters, and standardized and systematized the primitive witchcraft. They call this behavior civilization, they call it progress, so what about their results?"

"Such a huge empire, such abundant resources, if you don't pursue stability, if you don't emasculate yourself, I'm afraid that blood sacrifice alone can raise a lot of great wizard-level arcanists! If there is a 9th-order grand arcanist in the arcane empire system, will the entire arcane empire still suffer from the enemy's almost spoils* and invasion?"

"Arcanists are gentle, knowledgeable, and peaceful, but they almost never temper their bodies and spirits, and rely more on those arcane devices for casting spells and fighting. Wizards, on the other hand, are evil and selfish, and almost never care whether their methods conform to the perceptions and values of secular society. Even in many cases, shamans will treat their own kind cruelly, and do not reject forbidden witchcraft such as blood sacrifices and voodoo. ”

"It's all of this that makes the development paths of arcanists and wizards completely different. ”
