"So another Rank-1 Honor Badge holder is born?"
The Celestial Cordillera merely mumbled but to Grimm, it was like the earth was shaking and the winds raging.
Grimm didn't dare to move and waited silently.
The turtle raised its head again and checked the Rank-1 Honor Badge Mission Scroll before saying, "I remember your life energy. It was… three times ago? Four? Perhaps it was five, but I've once brought you to the entrance of the Black Sea Spiral at the heart of the world when you were an apprentice, yes?"
"When I became an Apex Sorcerer Apprentice in the Holy Tower Qualification Battles, you did bring me there," nodded Grimm as he replied.
"Yes." The turtle nodded and muttered again, "It's only been a few centuries, and you're going to the Heart of the World again? Choose a castle on my back."
The Celestial Cordillera would wake up once each century to carry the Apex Sorcerer Apprentice on its back.
