Game Transmigration: Saving the World Again 1000 Years Later

150 Grimoire (1)

“Are you planning on luring the people behind this out through this?”

Grimm probed when he saw the person in front of him activate the Demon Sealing rune engraved with a communication spell.

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble to deal with those trash. It’s just for an experiment.”

With that said, the flame in William’s hand flashed, and the Demon Sealing rune instantly turned to dust and dissipated.

After doing this, he patted the dust off his hands and sat opposite Grimm again.

“What experiment?”

“An experiment that has nothing to do with you.”

William replied and crossed his fingers, asking, “Therefore, what did they promise you for betraying your student?”

“They” naturally referred to the Restorationists in the Rose Palace.

Grimm replied, “Restore the former order.”

“Astral Laws? You actually think that’s called order?”

“That’s the only order among magic chanters. Without it, what’s the difference between us and the barbarians on the Damon Continent who brandish magic like swords?”

“Then, you must also think that an exquisite cage for birds can be called order.”

“The fence that separates people from ferocious beasts can only be order,” Grimm replied tit for tat.

The Astral Laws were a very broad concept. It didn’t just include the Astral Circuit system that was connected to the 13 designated constellations in the Astral World, as well as the actual ‘hardware’ like the Astral Lighthouse that covered the entire continent. More importantly, just as its name indicated, it also regulated the laws that magic chanters should follow.

The Astral Laws crystallized the noble status of mages, established the corresponding responsibilities of these powerful people, and divided them into a stable promotion and etiquette system according to their levels. Not only that, but it also strictly limited the conflicts between magic chanters. Through a spell called Resound, it took note of every registered mage’s death equally and fairly.

Why did every overlord retain a rather large secular army when the magic chanters were so powerful?

There were very few magic chanters, and it was partly because they couldn’t be everywhere. However, the more important reason was that the Astral Laws strictly stipulated which spells magic chanters could use in public. Although the specific clauses were as complicated and long as bureaucratic jargon, in summary, there was only one thing—they could only be used when facing a supernatural threat, not of their own choice.

It was unheard of for Vincent to mix magic chanters into secular troops and various production departments and use supernatural powers in public with great fanfare.

“Then, before the Astral Laws were proposed, was there no order among the magic chanters on this continent?” William asked with his fingers lodged against one another.

“Yes, and then those forms of order were defeated by the Astral Council.”

Grimm shrugged and continued, “Moreover, there weren’t as many magic chanters back then as there are now. It’s much less likely for children from commoners to become magic chanters than now.”

He was speaking the truth.

Although William didn’t count the number of magic chanters, the number of magic chanters was limited by the mentor system in that era in-game. The conditions to become a mentor who could impart his knowledge were extremely demanding. Even if one had the qualifications, as a mentor, one would usually only teach three to five apprentices throughout one’s life. Therefore, the number of magic chanters on the continent back then was far fewer than in the current Empire.

William thought for a moment and asked, “Then, forgive me for being presumptuous and asking what your current level is? As the chancellor of Blackwater Offa University.”

When Grimm Gordon heard that, he couldn’t help but smile imperceptibly. He leaned back slightly in his chair and said, “A Master-level Regis constellation magic chanter, having already reached the peak of the Master-level in Earth spells.”

William didn’t mean to mock him, but hearing the arrogance in his tone, he couldn’t help but say,

“Such standards might not even make you a tower mage’s deputy of Blackwater Offa University in the past.”

At the same time, William corrected the statement. There were far more people in this era who claimed to be magic chanters than in the past.

Upon hearing William’s words, Grimm said indignantly, “When do you mean the past?”

As someone who had reached the peak of the Master level before the age of 40, Grimm could be considered the most talented chancellor of Blackwater Offa University in recent decades.

It had to be known that because his family wasn’t illustrious, he had to queue for nearly five years to obtain the advancement spot for the advancement to the Master level. If it weren’t for the five years that delayed him, he would have long been at the peak of the Master level.

He even felt that if he didn’t die of old age before he reached the end of the queue, he had a chance of reaching the Legendary domain in the future.

“In the era of Violet Grant… It was unimaginable to let someone who hadn’t reached the Divine Realm be the chancellor back then. Back then, even the master of every mage tower needed to be at the peak of the Master level,” William said.

Grimm wrote it off as the other party being argumentative.
