Fire elemental plane, near the Molten Altar.

It was a dark red cloud floating high above the sky.

And inside the clouds, there stood a strange old man. He was dressed in a black tuxedo, straight trousers, spotless leather boots, and the white hair on his head was still combed in the slightest, although it showed the vicissitudes of life.

He didn't use any flying props, and there were no traces of the spell on his body, so he stood quietly among the red clouds, leaning over slightly, silently observing everything that happened in the Valley of the Molten Altar.

From the outside, he seems to be an ordinary human old man, and he can't find anything strange about him.

However, with such a harsh and harsh environment in the fire elemental plane, if he was really an ordinary person, how could he survive here and sneak a peek at the molten altar at close range without Grim's spiritual perception!

The old man seemed to have been hiding in the fire cloud for a long time, examining almost every peculiar person and place on the construction site several times. Especially for the split-brain Soke, and the small teleportation array that connects the extraterritorial camp Steel Capital, I am even more interested.

Of course, the moment Grim appeared, the old man withdrew his gaze and only silently observed his every move with passive perception.

After confirming Grim's true rank countless times, the old man took out an old-fashioned pocket watch that was ticking in his jacket pocket, rubbed it in his hand a few times, and then carefully put it back again.

The pocket watch is not large, it is golden, and the material seems to be made of brass. But as the old man stroked the case of the pocket watch with his fingers, an unusually powerful but strange fluctuation of the law slowly escaped.

If the old man's ability to hide was too powerful, Grim didn't find out that he was still forgiving. But now, such an obvious law wave spilled out, spreading like a ripple within a radius of kilometers in an instant, and Grim couldn't find out that he really didn't deserve to be called a great wizard.

Somewhere in the valley, he was discussing with the Ember Web Mother about catching more powerful minions and forming a flame legion that would be strong enough to protect the entire molten territory, when Grim suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of unconcealed consternation.

"Drop, detecting traces of fluctuations in the law of time, is tracing the source of fluctuations......"

The Law of Time...... Grim was shocked, this is the most enviable law ability in the plane world, and it is the two most powerful plane laws along with the space law.

However, these two abilities are difficult to acquire, and it is possible to learn them only if you have a very strong innate talent. Therefore, among the shape* wizards that Grim has encountered so far, there are almost no other wizards who have the ability to use these two laws, except for Alice.

Now, suddenly sensing this strange fluctuation in the fire elemental plane, Grim's heart naturally moved, and his eyes immediately quickly scanned the surroundings, looking for the source of the fluctuation traces.

Grim stood still, his eyes glowing with a faint blue glow, scanning the sky over and over again. There, golden ripples spread out, silently touching the invisible and formless laws of the plane.

The overlap of laws, although slight, has traces......

Grim's eyes quickly followed the law, and the wave streaks froze on the thick red cloud that floated above the valley. Then he increased the frequency of the rays in his eyes, instantly penetrating the red cloud barrier, and clearly saw the old man standing in the red cloud.

Mankind?

No...... It can't be either!

Others may not be able to see through the essence of the old man, but Grim, as a great wizard and with the assistance of chips, can naturally see through the surface at a glance the source of the other party's power.

In his eyes, this old man was a humanoid body of rules, densely packed with densely packed lines of power that were intertwined with each other. His clothes, his flesh, his bones, his skin, and even the beating heart in his body...... They are all made of layers of dense and impermeable silk threads.

And the energy spectrum analysis radiated from the power thread shows that the origin of his power is the same as Grim's, which belongs to the fire system. This means that he is also a native creature of this fire elemental plane.

It's just that, in addition to seeing through the source of its power, Grim also found three or four special energy halos around him, which were obviously some powerful magic items. Especially the position of the opponent's right chest, the energy halo transmitted there was completely unprecedented, and it was the source of the law fluctuation just now.

Originally, the fluctuation of the law of time was not his own ability, but a powerful magic prop!

For no reason, Grim couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Since Your Excellency is here, you might as well come down and sit down!" Grim said softly.

The old man was not pretentious, he smiled, only took a step forward, and the next moment he had already appeared in front of Grim.

Grim's face did not move, but his heart was full of shock, and the originally strong and pulsating heart of rules suddenly paused.

2139m......

From the position where the old man was standing just now to his eyes, it was 2,139 meters. But the other party didn't perceive any traces of magic, ability, or thaumaturgy, and appeared in front of him across more than 2,000 meters in an instant......

If it weren't for the perspective perception of the chip that could detect the existence of the old man, I'm afraid Grim would have suspected that the other party was just an overly realistic phantom without any entity.

Grim didn't know him, but he recognized him at the side of the Ember Webing Spider Mother Rakbeth.

This fourth-order flame lord, who was usually not afraid of heaven and earth, immediately bowed his head when he saw the old man, and respectfully called out, "Lord Hegel!"

The old man straightened the aristocratic dress on his body, glanced at Lakbeth, and said indifferently: "Congratulations, Lakbeth, I haven't seen you for a few days, but there is a master......

On the ugly and hideous head of the Ember Web Spider Mother Rakbeth, the lotus-petal-shaped mouthparts opened and closed a few times, but she could only sigh helplessly and bow her head.

Secretly, Grim had already quietly communicated with Rakbeth.

"Who is he?"

Hegel...... Tier 5 ...... A subordinate of the 6th Flame Lord Zetath...... Lord Zetas hasn't taken half a step out of the dormitory for nearly 10,000 years, and the affairs of the realm are usually taken care of by this Lord Hegel......"

Subordinates, shitty subordinates...... Is this a regular clone of the Flame King?

Grim was screaming inwardly, but he couldn't blame Lakbeth.

After all, the other party did not have such a powerful perspective scanning ability like him, and he could directly peek into the source of this Hegel's power. Therefore, it is understandable to think of him as a human subordinate of the Flame King.

Humans?What did that Flame Lord do when he created a regular clone in human form? Isn't that guy named Zetas still related to humans......

Grim speculated as he greeted Hegel with enthusiasm.

He sensed very well that this Hegel was just a fifth-order clone, but his overall strength was above him. If you really want to fight, in the fire element plane, Grim can't find half a point cheap.

"It turned out to be His Excellency Hegel, I don't know which gust of wind brought you over. Welcome, welcome, I haven't sorted it out yet, the place is relatively simple, so you can see it!" "Since you can't beat it, let's honestly soften your body, Grim is very knowledgeable about current affairs."

"Hehe, here in the fire elemental plane, there is no need to pay so much attention to etiquette. It's not interesting here, let's just go straight and say something!" said Hegel indifferently.

"Yes! In that case, I won't hide it. Don't you know what happened to Lord Hegel's sudden arrival at the Molten Altar?"

"Nothing special. It's just that I heard from my subordinates that a strange exotic powerhouse has emerged here and is 'recruiting' everywhere, so I came over to see the situation......"

"That'...... I wonder what your Excellency has seen?"

"Hehe, look at this situation, your Excellency should be from the wizarding civilization, right?"

"Yes!"

"I don't know which dimensional world your Excellency is from?"

"Wizarding World!" Grim hesitated, but still gave the answer.

At their level, many things cannot be said nonsense, and they often have all kinds of unknown effects on their future.

"The Wizarding World, the Origin Plane of Wizarding Civilization...... Your Excellency is still so young, and it seems that he is also an amazingly talented person among wizards!"

Grim couldn't figure out the details of the other party, so he could only say a few words of humility casually.

"Your Excellency wants to be one of the Flame Kings, right?" asked Hegel abruptly.

Grim's breath stagnated, and the spiritual will of the whole person soared instantly. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the fire energy in his body gradually began to activate, and the regular protection condensed by the Book of Filthy Darkness filled his skin.

If necessary, Grim can instantly envelop himself in layered, multi-functional, multi-purpose witchcraft protection. And the scorched earth magic in the Fire God Bead and the Ring of Corruption in the Book of Filth and Darkness can definitely catch the opponent off guard.

As soon as they met, there were two fifth-order attacks, and even if the old man's own existence form was extraordinary, it was impossible for him to resist such a swift attack.

And when he was ready, Grim laughed 'gently'.

"Yes and what?

The atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became cold!

"If Your Excellency doesn't want to be the Flame King, then I'll say nothing. If you want, I think we do need to exchange something in advance......" Hegel looked immovable, as if unconcerned about Grim's warning.

"Communicate what?

"Talk about the path to becoming the Flame King!" said Hegel, a smile full of 'sincerity'.
