Chapter 387: Eternally Projecting Crystal Ball

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In Grimm’s laboratory on the twenty-second floor of the Isotta tower .

Myna had gone over to hang out at Valor’s place, leaving Grimm alone in his own laboratory . After patiently carrying out the third phase work on the Mask of Truth’s Eagle Eye Technique for several hourglasses, he started his research on self-sealing sorcery .

Laid out on the experiment table was a perfectly preserved piece of pelt with dark-gray fur still attached, and on it was a single incision .

This belonged to Grimm’s accidental discovery in the Pinna Hares’ lair while he was still in the Burrow World .

Typically, whenever a sorcerer obtains a piece of pelt like this, the first thing that comes to mind is to use its fur for a sorcerer’s robe due to its Sound Wave perception suppressing abilities, or to make some kind of Sound Wave sorcery equipment .

In Grimm’s case however, he was more focused on the piece of perfectly sealed skin underneath the fluffy layer of fur .

Peranos once mentioned about using silkworms in experiments for furthering knowledge about self-sealing sorcery . Grimm’s experience in this particular field of sorcery, especially in regards to the use of silkworm specimens means it could be rather difficult to achieve any breakthroughs .

Perhaps the line of research Senior Quiet Spring has embarked on is exactly as described by Master Peranos .

Grimm personally named this pelt the “Sound-sealing Pelt” .

As for now, Grimm’s job was to remove each and every follicle of hair on the surface of the Sound-sealing Pelt and to keep them somewhere safe .

The average length of these dark-gray hairs were about fifteen centimeters . They were extremely luscious to the touch and none of them were tangled together, indicating their quality .

“Hm?”

As soon as Grimm cleared off a spot on the pelt, he noticed something out of the blue .

On the skin underneath the layer of hair, were naturally inscribed patterns like a map . Although hard to notice, it existed in a harmonic equilibrium with the surrounding laws, just like how a sorcerer’s magic rune would towards the Elemental Energy .

Underneath the Mask of Truth, Grimm’s eyes lit up . He picked up the tweezers and continued to carefully remove the individual sound-sealing follicles on the pelt .

It turns out that this specimen was an extremely precious one .

A few hourglasses later .

“Senior Grimm! Mavrica!”

Vivian knocked on the doors of Grimm’s laboratory . Upon hearing the knocks, Grimm put down the pair of tweezers and left the Inhabitant Specimen laboratory and into the hall where he opened up the door to his room . ”

“Third Senior . ”

After Vivian performed the sorcerer greeting, her eyes widened as she noticed Grimm’s empty shoulders . She then couldn’t help but ask, “Senior, where’s Mavrica?”

“That guy’s hanging out at Valor’s place . ”

Grimm retrieved a few purple fruits he collected from the Burrow World from the Dimensional Gap . Each of these fruits were the size of a human’s skull . Using the repulsive and attractive force, two tall glasses of juice were quickly squeezed out from the fruits, which gave out a chilly and refreshing aroma .

Taking a sip, Vivian’s eyes lit up .

“Senior, what fruit is this? It has a really unique taste . ”

After throwing away the remaining pulp, Grimm slowly drank the juice with a straw before replying: “There is no name for it yet . There is such a diverse biology in the foreign worlds, and fruits are no exception . This kind of fruit which has little to no use for the Sorcerer World is largely ignored . With that said, you can call it whatever you want and it will be called whatever you name it to be . ”

‘Gulp . ’

After greedily gulping down a large mouthful of fruit juice, Vivian then asked quietly, “Then do you think it’s a good idea if I name it the Vivianfruit?”

Laughing heartily, Grimm ruffled the hair on this young sorceress . “Nope! I don’t see anything inherently wrong with that . I will call it the Vivianfruit from here on out . ”

Leading the way, Grimm took the curious junior sorceress on a short tour around his own laboratory . Proudly, he presented some of his war trophies and collectibles while explaining the history behind each of these items .

The little kid basked in Grimm’s intoxicating stories, as if she herself was the great warrior in the foreign worlds, becoming the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer that everyone envied .

“Senior Grimm, I want to be like you in the future, to become a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer and to spread the great Sorcerer’s Will across the foreign worlds . ”

Vivian said, with eyes full of admiration and respect .

Grimm laughed as he heard such flattery . “Oh right, I heard the mentor said you were the inventor of the Eternally Projecting Crystal Ball . What’s that all about? You mind telling me about it?”

“Oh it’s nothing . My invention pales in comparison to your genius invention of the Love Vials . What I don’t understand is why so many higher-ranking sorcerers are so fascinated by my invention . ”

Sitting on the sofa, Vivian started learning the ways of Grimm for she too had also begun using a straw to slowly take in the taste of the juice . Before that though, she added a tad bit more honey to her juice .

‘Love vials…’

The memories are a bit hazy now . Grimm said, “Right, I’m sure Master-sister Quiet Spring will take a liking to you, should you meet her sometime in the future . Now, show me your invention . ”

“Sure, but I have already sold the license of my product to the Isa family . What I can do is bring you to their family shop on the first floor of the Isotta tower where they sell my invention . ”

‘Is it Alastair’s wife, Belle’s family?’

“Alright, let’s go . ”

Vivian grabbed her little staff and took the lead while Grimm trailed behind her at a comfortable pace .

Most sorcerer-apprentices would choose a single type of sorcery that would be sealed within their staff . An official sorcerer’s staff on the other hand, increases their offense power by multitudes which, contrary to popular belief, gives zero practicality to an apprentice .

While descending the flight of stairs, Vivian quietly explained the invention process of the Eternally Projecting Crystal Ball to Grimm .

“In my first Elemental Sorcery class, one of my friends swore that she would become the strongest sorcerer-apprentice of all . The mentor that stood on the lecture platform told her to create a bottle of Love Vial before saying anything so outrageous . It was after this incident that the entire class of sorcerer-apprentices came to know who you are”

Pausing for a moment, Vivian continued, “Afterwards, I combined my own Crystal Skin and my knowledge on Light Elemental energy to accidentally invent the Eternally Projecting Crystal Ball . It’s license was bought at a pretty high price by the Isa family, which somehow came to my mentor’s knowledge . ”

Grimm nodded his head and asked, “What about that friend of yours?”

“She…she was annihilated during the rookie trials . Three whole years gone to waste because she couldn’t come up with any invention . ”

Vivian’s voice grew heavier by the moment .

It was apparent that she too, had gone through the morbid period of being a Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentice . She thanked her lucky star but tried hard to hide her emotions .

‘Dead huh…’

Upon further thoughts, Grimm came to the conclusion that this was pretty normal .

The stupid act of putting one’s own life on the bet is not necessarily due to the sorcerer’s true wisdom . Hell, even his own success was purely founded on dumb luck .

On the first floor of the Isotta Tower .

Vivian led Grimm to a shop filled to the brim with crystal balls . A young, bright-eyed lady rushed over to welcome them as soon as she saw Vivian leading a sorcerer into their shop .

“Master . ”

The young lady seems familiarized with Vivian . She then performed a sorcerer greeting towards Grimm .

“Well, I have come to look at Vivian’s invention, the Eternally Projecting Crystal Ball . Will you please introduce me to it?”

The young lady smiled eagerly and took out a crystal ball from her shop . “The main function of the Eternally Projecting Crystal Ball we have on sale here is that it can perform autonomous recordings and playback the footage forever . Some of the sorcerers like to record down memories of their lovers, friends, family and even pets while they are still young and alive, keeping it forever with them . ”

Grimm looked on with surprise at the crystal ball the young lady was holding . At the moment, there was a very realistic projection of a smirking vulture within the crystal ball .

While the average sorcerer’s crystal ball has the function to record footage, it still depends on the sorcerer’s own mental strength to replay the memories .

For a sorcerer, to revisit old memories using a crystal ball is completely redundant as relying on one’s own memory was much more practical .

But now…

Autonomous recording and playback is possible without any setbacks with this Eternally Projecting Crystal Ball!

“Senior, do you like my invention?”

After thinking in silence for a moment, Grimm nodded his head and replied: “This is an impressive invention . Not bad . ”

Immediately after, Grimm looked at the young lady and said with a slightly hoarse voice, “I would like to order a few of these Eternally Projecting Crystal Balls . Here are the footages I want in them . ”

Grimm projected the footages of Chris York, Robinson, Robin and Lefay from his own crystal ball . For Lefay’s footages however, there were only the early parts of the entire recording .

One hourglass later .

Inside Grimm’s laboratory on the twenty-second floor of the Isotta tower, a wave of frosty air drifted across the room as a massive crystal sealing vessel was opened up . Carefully, Grimm lifted up the sealing vessel’s lid before storing a crystal ball inside it .

Looking at the restored image of Lefay, her expression seemingly at ease as if she herself was there looking back at him . A slight smile broke across Grimm’s face as a tear rolled down his cheek .

Closing both eyes, Grimm tried to conceal his emotions as he stored the crystal sealing vessel into the Dimensional Gap .
