Chapter 1621 Tragic Puppet Master

The two of them had been talking silently in magic secret language.

While strolling around, they browsed the various strange "goods" displayed on the stalls.

Originally, Grimm had the idea of ​​panning for gold in the sand.

But after walking around the market for more than half, he was completely depressed by the goods here.

There was no real goods, but there were a lot of fakes.

Some dyed plant roots and stems black to pretend to be medicinal materials, some disguised polluted sulfate ores as magic iron ores, and even more excessively, found a piece of broken cowhide and polished it to pretend to be dragon skin...

The whole market can be said to be full of smoke and mixed with fakes, and nothing valuable can be found at all. From this, we can imagine what kind of people the wanderers who roam here are, either liars, thieves, or robbers who kill and rob.

If these guys were in the main material plane, they would have been caught by the rulers long ago.

Only here can they thrive and run around without worrying about anyone looking for trouble with them.

Faced with such a market that is almost worthless, Grimm quickly lost interest.

He chatted with Lucia casually, and his mind sensed and sensed the surroundings.

Anyway, with the chip, a killer weapon with "fire eyes and golden pupils", no disguise can escape its perception and detection.

Just when the market was about to end, Grimm suddenly stopped and showed a strange expression of surprise and astonishment on his face.

"What's wrong? What did you find?" Lucia was the first to find something wrong and hurriedly asked.

Grimm did not answer, but smiled mysteriously and said, "Come with me, I found something interesting..." After that, he took the initiative to take Lucia to the most remote corner of the market.

This is the area closest to the mud swamp.

The black and smelly mud gurgled with bubbles, and the air was filled with a pungent and choking smell.

For this reason, there are very few visitors here. Only two or three guys whose races cannot be identified are lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, with some garbage items placed in front of them that no one cares about...

Grimm stopped in front of one of the stalls.

Lucia looked around in surprise. The stalls were full of some fragmented small ornaments, such as bracelets, bracelets, rings, pendants, etc., with some vague patterns on them, which seemed to be magic items when they were complete.

It's a pity that they were very damaged and no longer had any magical aura.

Lucia also has a deep study of "rune literature" and immediately recognized that these ornament fragments were all magic tools, or at least they were once part of magic tools.

Lucia couldn't help but ponder.

If a single magic tool fragment appeared, it might be that the stall owner picked it up accidentally, which was not surprising. But if so many magic tool fragments appeared at once, it would be said that the stall owner had no relationship with the wizard, and even Lucia would have to doubt her IQ.

So, Lucia also carefully looked at the mysterious stall owner in front of her.

This is a human man whose exact age is unknown.

Although his exposed skin is covered with pus and dirt, he can still be seen as a human. His chest is shriveled and sunken, his hands and feet are black and dirty, his hair is fluffy and burnt, his face is old and haggard, but his eyes have a dim wisdom that other species cannot reach...

As if frightened by the burning gaze of the two people, the stall owner who was originally lying on the ground quickly curled up his body, tightened the tattered cloth wrapped around his body to cover his exposed skin as much as possible, and his face showed a look of fear and fear.

Although the other party tried his best to cover it up, Lucia still sensed an extremely weak magic fluctuation in his body. If this magic fluctuation is measured by the rank standard of the wizard world, it should be equivalent to that of a senior apprentice.

A senior wizard apprentice who drifted in the abyss world?

As soon as this thought came to Lucia's mind, it was immediately rejected by herself.

Impossible, such a thing will never happen.

To visit the Abyss Realm, the normal way is to pass through the Wanyuan Plain and roll in the Blood Battlefield. A mere senior apprentice also wants to survive in the Blood Battlefield, which is nothing less than a foolish dream.

If it is not a normal way, then it is through the space rift that he randomly fell into the Abyss Realm. But how can a senior apprentice survive the ubiquitous void storm in the space rift?

If both ways are blocked, the only explanation for the appearance of the wizard apprentice in front of him is... He was not originally a wizard apprentice, but a real wizard. It was only because of some special reasons that his strength fell to the apprentice level. Otherwise, Lucia really couldn't find a reason to explain the current situation.

"Are you a wizard?" Grimm finally asked.

Although he asked in a questioning tone, anyone could feel the firmness and confidence in his tone.

The mysterious stall owner immediately became uneasy and hurriedly explained: "I'm not a wizard, I'm just an ordinary human, I..."

Halfway through his words, the stall owner suddenly realized that the strange male half-lizard man in front of him was speaking the common language of the wizard world. If he was not a wizard, he should pretend that he didn't understand the common language of the wizard world.

Immediately, the stall owner realized that he had been exposed.

The stall owner sighed inexplicably and asked in a low voice: "How can you speak the common language of the wizard world?"

Grimm smiled slightly, but did not answer. Instead, he gently wiped his face with his hand.

The next second, his weird face covered with scales and bumps turned into the face of a handsome human man.

When his hand left, the man's face disappeared and turned back into the ugly face of a half-lizard man.

"You are also a wizard..." The stall owner showed a look of surprise on his face, but his tone was also lowered.

Grimm did not answer, but looked him up and down, and said lightly: "Tell me about your situation! You were once a powerful wizard who was once famous, why did you fall to such a point?"

Famous?

Powerful?

Where did you see all this from? Why don't I know?

Lucia, who was hiding and watching the excitement, was full of confusion. Three questions popped up in her mind. She really couldn't understand where Grimm knew all this.

Was he bluffing the other party... Lucia couldn't help but speculate maliciously.

As if seeing her doubt, Grimm smiled gently, pointed at the jewelry fragments on the stall and said: "You should recognize all the runes on it!"

Lucia nodded her little head like pounding rice.

"Then didn't you find that these runes are strangely different from the basic runes in the wizard world?"

"I found it!" Lucia explained forcefully: "I thought it was because he was not good at learning and didn't carve the inscription well!"

"It's not that it was not carved well, but a variant of the basic rune - the advanced rune!" Grimm's smile became even stronger: "How could a guy who can draw advanced runes be unknown and inferior to others!"

Listening to Grimm's teasing answer, the stall owner's face changed several times in an instant, and finally sighed and lowered his head.

Since his identity has been exposed, there is naturally no need to cover up anything.

The three of them found a corner and set up an illusion barrier. Then the seemingly miserable male wizard began to tell his legendary life of ups and downs...

"...My name is Ryan Worthington. I was once the most outstanding puppeteer in the Silver Alliance. I am good at controlling all kinds of puppet creations..."

"...It only took me 517 years to successfully advance to the 4th level, and I became a child of destiny in the eyes of others..."

Hearing this, Lucia looked at Grimm calmly.

It can be called a genius to advance to the 4th level after 517 years of practice, but it is still just a mediocre person in front of the two of them. Lucia only took 469 years to complete the promotion of the 4th level arcanist and the 3rd level wizard. If it were not for the suppression of fate, I am afraid that even the 5th level demigod would have been promoted.

And she is not more perverted.

The seemingly honest Grimm in front of her is the real tough guy.

As far as she knows, the whole process from Grimm's apprenticeship to his promotion to the 5th level is only more than 300 years. If she told the story of the fire wizard Grimm truthfully, it would probably scare the ‘genius puppeteer’ off his feet.

“…I accidentally offended the president of the Silver Alliance, and he plotted against me to attack the territory of a demon lord, and then I was besieged by many high-level demons there…”

Lucia couldn’t help but interrupt when she heard this: “Wait, wait…How did you attack the demon lord? Does your Silver Alliance have its own foothold in the Abyss?”

Without waiting for the ‘genius puppeteer’ to answer, Grimm took the initiative to explain: “As far as I know, the Silver Alliance has already reached deep into the Abyss, and seems to have occupied the 377th floor, and is fighting for the dominance of the plane there…”

The ‘genius puppeteer’ looked at Grimm in surprise, obviously surprised at his extensive knowledge. You know, this matter is the highest level of confidentiality even within the Silver Alliance. Except for the president and a few high-level wizards who participated in this matter, the rest of the people are not qualified to know about it.

But the strange and powerful wizard in front of him could easily tell it... How did he know?

Although Ryan's strength is gone, his eyesight is still there.

He had already seen that the man and woman in front of him were both wizards, that is, his "hometown people". Although wizards have always been ruthless and put interests first, being in the same camp is always a little closer than being in a different race.

"In short, this is my story... Since I was framed by the president, I can no longer return to the alliance base. At that time, my injuries were very serious, and I lacked the right medicine to regulate my body, so my strength was worn away little by little, and I became like this now!"

Ryan couldn't help crying when he said this, looking like a hero with a short breath and a tragic song at the end of his life.

And Grimm naturally didn't believe everything he said, but cast an inquiring look at Lucia.
