Wizarding World, Tower of Destiny.
Dragging her tired body, just as Alice stepped out of the astrology hall, the little elf Helen rushed towards her.
"It's terrible, it's terrible, that bad woman is here again..."
Helen circled around Alice's body three times, and finally stopped in front of her full of anger, waved her hands and blessed her with 'Life Bloom' and 'Energy Return'. The former restores life and physical strength, while the latter restores mental strength.
With these two blessings, the rest time for Alice to recover from the current state of mental exhaustion to the peak state can be fully shortened by half. This is simply the best thing for most wizards who cherish their time.
Elemental sprites are valued by so many wizards, that's why they are valuable!
Bad woman
Alice was slightly taken aback, and immediately realized that it was Mary who had come.
As the owner of the Tower of Destiny, Mary cannot break into the upper floors of the Tower without Alice's permission.
So even though she was extremely tired, Alice still dragged her limp body to the third floor of the tower to meet the furious Mary.
"What the hell are you doing? Where did Greem go?" As soon as she met Mary, she couldn't wait to ask: "Now, the Fabres family, the Entom family, and the Denell family in Sandalin are looking for each of them. They came to the door and asked Greem to come out by name to solve the friction problem in the family territory. There are fourth-level wizards in their family, and they must not fight like before. Whether it is war or peace, Gree is always needed Mu, the patriarch, came out with an idea..."
These days, Mary has been sitting in the family, and her five orifices are smoldering due to these various and treacherous family affairs. Although Gargamel and Wen Lier handled their internal affairs in an orderly manner, the family development was also thriving. However, in the turbulent power vortex, the external challenges faced by the Crimson Family have not diminished in the slightest.
Even, with the appearance of several high-ranking wizards from the Crimson Family, the external pressure they endured became more and more intense, with the tendency of dark clouds overwhelming the city.
Not to mention anything else, there were dozens of frictions and disputes surrounding the territory of the Crimson family during this period alone. Or a secular noble of a certain family was assassinated in the Crimson Territory, or a certain noble adjacent to the Crimson Territory launched a war for a trivial matter, or a certain force accused the Crimson Territory of harboring their fugitives...
Although most of these things are just secular affairs of the Crimson Territory, they don't involve the level of the wizard family. However, Gargamel and Wen Lier, who were in charge of the family affairs, still felt a little inappropriate when so many disputes and troubles erupted at one time.
You must know that forty years have not passed since the last time the Crimson family launched a wizard war. That time, the allied forces of the five family forces were defeated and fled. Now, there is another external force that is eyeing the Crimson Clan Shengsheng!
As soon as Mary gave an order, the goblin forces belonging to the Crimson Family quickly came back with information.
This time, it wasn't those small families and small forces that were eyeing the Crimson Family, but a few large wizard families who stomped their feet in Sandi Tallinn and the world trembled.
The Fabres, the Entoms, the Denells…
These prominent names, in the Sandi Tallinn area in the middle of the mainland, are like pearls mixed in a heap of glass, and their dignity and glory cannot be added.
There are hundreds of wizarding families in the central part of the mainland, but no matter how ups and downs they are, fighting for life and death, the five giants still stand at the forefront. The Fabres family, the Entom family, and the Denell family are three of them.
Now, even they are focusing on the Crimson family. As the only third-level wizard in the family, Mary felt a mountain of heavy pressure in an instant.
But Mary is good at fighting and killing, but she is not good at this kind of private operation of resolving enmity in the intertwining of cups and concluding agreements in the midst of singing and dancing. Therefore, Zacha the dragonman and Bliss, the worm witch, were ordered by Mary to run around, relying on fierce force to drive back waves of inexplicable enemies.
However, those secular nobles and low-level wizard families were just the minions and lackeys sent by the enemy behind the scenes to interfere with the Crimson family. After repelling them, they still couldn't cut off the black hand behind the scenes.
If it wasn't for the Crimson family having that Tier 4 magic weapon puppet dragon guardian, I'm afraid some families couldn't wait to declare war on it!
It is precisely because of all these hidden worries that Mary is more eager to find Greem.
But unfortunately, she only knew that Alice had gone to the Throne of Flame some time ago, and then Greem mysteriously disappeared. As for Greem's real movements, she knew nothing about it.
Therefore, at this moment, she rushed to the Tower of Destiny angrily, and asked Alice about Greem's whereabouts.
Alice only had a vague idea of Greem's plight in the Envik plane. But even such simple information, she did not dare to disclose it to Mary easily.
Not for anything else, but for the 'powerful enemy' who is staring at her all the time!
If there were no clues, it would be difficult for Alice to understand what happened in the Envik plane, and it was impossible for that 'woman' to know more than her and explore deeper. But if Alice casually revealed the situation there, even if it was covered up with fate witchcraft afterwards, it still wouldn't be able to prevent the other party from knowing the cards in their hands through the development of the 'world line'.
This is the strangeness and treachery of the fate witch's struggle!
Therefore, Alice could only tell Mary in a vague tone that Greem was temporarily trapped in a certain alien plane, but he was safe, and he just needed to wait patiently for a while before he could return.
Such rough information is naturally difficult to satisfy Mary's urgent and anxious heart, but considering that Greem has always trusted and respected Alice's choice, Mary suppressed her inner irritability and left angrily.
And Alice froze in the living room for a moment in silence, then returned to her own residence with a faint sigh.
...
To be honest, the length and difficulty of this confrontation completely exceeded Greem's expectations.
Five years... the long five years were wasted in this remote and desolate place in another world.
During these five years, Greem rushed out of the lava pool countless times, and fought fiercely with the four hunting wizards to the death.
However, no matter how hard he tried his best, it was still difficult to seriously injure any of the four. In contrast, the four hunting wizards wanted to kill Greem, but it was extremely difficult and wishful thinking.
The two sides faced off fiercely like this, from a fierce battle broke out in the first three to five days, to a half-month fight in the middle, and then to a contest in the next month... The smell of gunpowder between the two sides became less and less, and it seemed that they both knew that there was nothing they could do to win the other side. , so the battles in the later stage are not so much a fight, as it is really boring to run out to exercise.
Greem was trapped under the volcano, so he could only open a small laboratory there. Sometimes when I got busy and forgot the time, and didn't show up for a month or two, the four hunting wizards would take the initiative to come to visit.
The two sides kept coming and going like this, and they had been fighting for five years at the Gunsas Volcano before they knew it!
In the past five years, although Greem was exhausted from being tortured, the life of the four hunters in Natagu was not easy.
For a bloodline wizard who claims to have great potential, the five years he was trapped in the Envik plane was simply a huge torture for him.
The magical energy in this environment simply cannot be compared to that in the wizarding world or beyond. Meditating here every day, apart from being able to barely recover the loss of one's own witch power, it is wishful thinking to make some spiritual progress.
This means that the five years of Natagu and the others have been wasted in vain!
Besides, they couldn't get away from being trapped in the Gonzas volcano, and they couldn't collect any useful wizard resources, let alone witchcraft experiments. So, while Greem was exhausted physically and mentally, Natagu and the other four were suffering.
However, they were entrusted by that 'adult', and they were obviously unwilling to capture and kill an inconspicuous fire witch, so they could only endure it day by day.
But with the passage of time, the situation inside the Envik plane obviously had some unexpected changes.
Those paladins who had been recharging their energy for a long time became a little eager to try again!
During these five years, the paladins overthrew the witch's tower, and then chased and killed the remnants of the witch all over the world.
With their hard work, it can be said that they have achieved fruitful results and achieved outstanding results. Most of the fleeing fraudulent witches were either captured or killed by them, and they cleaned them up. Even if there were occasional fish that slipped through the net, they all disappeared and lived in seclusion somewhere, never daring to come out to make trouble again.
Once the pressure brought by the witch was eliminated, the group of foreign wizards entrenched near the Gonzas volcano became extremely eye-catching.
Although there was a cooperation agreement between Natagu and that fourth-level holy knight, with the disappearance of the deceitful witches, it seems that there is no need for this agreement to continue. Therefore, during this period of time, there were suddenly a few more people around the Gonzas Volcano, and five groups of adventurers had broken into here successively, and died under the voodoo of the old poisonous woman.
On this day, Benika, the psion who was in charge of buying daily necessities, returned to the camp covered in blood, and she also brought back bad news.
Due to the perennial "eruption" of the Gonzas volcano, the surrounding towns and villages have been deserted. Benica bought the supplies by disguising her identity and traveling to a small town 170 miles away.
However, right there, in a remote town with a population of less than 7,000, there was actually a group of high-level paladins stationed there, and strict checks and magical tests were conducted on the people entering and leaving.
If it's just a group of black iron knights, with Benica's spiritual witchcraft, it's enough to play them in the palm of her hand without knowing it. However, what she didn't expect was that there... there was a third-level golden knight sitting there!
