Chapter 263: Alice returns

Maxlan is dead!

A veteran wizard with impressive strength died inexplicably on a humble battlefield!

Such a shocking fact made it a little unbearable for both warring parties.

The territory of the Kartia Hills is only 120 miles in size, and it has three cities, one middle school, two small ones, and seven or eight human villages and towns. Even if these manors and villages are ground into powder and converted into magic crystals, they still cannot bear the true value of an old wizard.

Therefore, the joint attack of the three parties is more to test the strength of the Sarupo family on behalf of the forces and organizations behind them. If the Sarubo family is really damaged in the war of planes, they will inevitably adopt strategic contraction and give up some benefits. Then exchange space for time to strive for the recovery of one's own strength.

It can be said that such border wars happen almost every day in the entire Santetalin area, and there are not a few wizard families and wizard organizations involved in it. But it is very rare for a wizard to die for this.

As the party involved in the invasion, the Carlos of the Mikain family could only helplessly declare that his side was defeated, and the two sides sat down again to negotiate the follow-up compensation with difficulty.

The occupied cities have to be spit out one by one, and the plundered villages have to be doubled in compensation. The Mikain family even needs to use a lot of rare resources to compensate the substantial losses of the Sarubo family. As long as the Mikain family doesn't want to escalate the conflict between the two sides into a full-scale family war, then today's matter will come to an end.

As for how the Mikain family will compensate the Mafia Association to which Maxlan belongs, that is another matter.

And Greem and Korgan returned to Feidnan City directly after finishing the matter here hastily.

But after this battle, Greem's reputation as a terrifying fire demon spread.

With one against two, he can still kill an old-fashioned wizard powerfully. This kind of strength is simply a miracle for a new wizard!

It is said that a few days after the strike between the two sides, many wizards rushed to Rockall Castle to check the remains of the battle there. Every wizard who has seen the battlefield has a dignified face and a solemn expression!

Seriously, it has become so devastated that it is no longer suitable for human habitation.

It was as if a violent volcano had erupted there once, and the battlefield was full of terrifying lava left by magma tumbling and cooling. Break apart some strange standing lava rocks, and you will find some basically well-preserved metal armor inside, and the flesh and blood inside the armor have been mixed with the molten iron, making it difficult to disassemble.

The Lokol Castle, which was closest to the battlefield, suffered from the terrifying witchcraft blow. Most of the castle buildings had been softened into mud, and then re-solidified into weird shapes.

But fortunately, with the compensation from the Mikain family, that Viscount Donner is more than enough to rebuild five castles.

And after this battle, the turmoil against the Sarubo family, both open and covert, naturally disappeared. Many families or organizations that originally wanted to take advantage of the Sarubo family also died down and became wait-and-see again.

However, Greem also successfully gained the hatred of the Mafia Association!

After Greem returned to Feidnan City, he simply understood that the Mafia Association was just a small organization with 7 wizards. Apart from the fact that their president is a Tier 2 wizard, that Mai Silan is already the most powerful Tier 1 wizard in their organization.

Knowing this kind of news, Greem just smiled and put the other party's hatred behind him. With the support of the family behind him, it is impossible for the second-level wizard on the other side to take the initiative to trouble him, otherwise the third-level wizard of the Sarubo family would wipe out his Black Hand Association in minutes.

As long as it was a fair duel with open guns and open arrows, the murderous Greem really didn't fear any level 1 wizards.

In view of Greem's contribution in the Battle of Lockar Castle, Wizard Korgan took part of the war compensation from the Mikain family to make up for his battle losses.

20,000 magic crystals, 5 points of family contribution, a lot of wizard resources, and 3 wizard-level elemental nuclei.

With all of these, Greem hid in the Wizard Tower in Feidnan City logically, and tried his best to restore his strength day and night.

It has to be said that Maxlan's weird black smoke and Carlos' powerful curse still had a lot of influence on him. It wasn't until the seventh day after the battle that he expelled all the negative witchcraft in his body and readjusted his body to the best condition.

Through this battle, Greem also clearly saw his own strengths and weaknesses, and began to make plans for the future path of witchcraft.

On the battlefield, the power of fire witchcraft is undoubtedly the most powerful, and this has been fully verified. However, in the small battles between wizards, the huge power of fire witchcraft may not be fully released.

It can be said that without the flame lord's self-destruction, without the powerful instant sorcery of the voodoo scroll, it would be almost a luxury for Greem to win with one against two!

Therefore, if Greem wanted to continue to maintain his combat advantage, strengthening his own strength was the only way out.

But the speed of mental strength growth cannot be rushed, and can only be improved by day-to-day hard meditation. Of course, searching for some suitable mental potions or ingredients with good benefits is also a way.

But this obviously requires an extremely long process!

Therefore, if you want to strengthen and improve your own strength in a short period of time, golems and alien runes are the most promising direction of effort. And he promised the Sky City party of the wizard in the Dark Crypt, and it will be there in half a year.

Therefore, after deep thinking, Greem decided to first conquer those alien runes and use them to strengthen the witchcraft tattoos and golems on his body before thinking about other content.

What's more, he also harvested so many resources and wonders during his trip to other worlds, and he needs a period of precipitation and accumulation to consolidate his foundation and make up for his lack of witchcraft knowledge.

So, for the next month, Greem hid in the wizard's tower, lived in a simple place, spent all day in the witchcraft laboratory, and never showed up again.

Of course, during this period, Greem was not completely isolated from the outside world, but still kept in touch with the outside world. On the third day when he chose to retreat, the little loli Alice who ran out to do the task came back and met him.

I haven't seen her for three or four months. I have to say that even Greem looked sideways at the development of Alice's strength. At this rate of development, it may only take a year and a half before Alice can reach the standard of advanced wizard.

"Bring it!" Alice spread her hands as soon as she broke into Greem's room.

"What?" Greem was confused.

"Of course it's my gift!" Alice rolled her eyes angrily, "You traveled to another world, so it's impossible that you didn't bring back any gifts, right?"

Greem was speechless for a while.

"This... Alice, it seems that I am your master! You are a maid who wants to take advantage of me without doing anything, I'm afraid..."

Hearing this, Alice, who was still full of anger just now, immediately became smiling.

"Dear master, dear master, what do you need lovely Alice to do for you?"

Seeing Alice's confident appearance, Greem couldn't help feeling a headache, and immediately sneered sinisterly, "Since you also grew up in a wealthy family, don't you know what a maid can do?"

"Sleeping bed?" Alice cheered happily, "Wow, wow! How do you think tonight? The lovely Alice will come to warm your bed tonight!"

Greem put his hand on his forehead, completely speechless.

Even though he knew that the Alice in front of him was just flirtatious, but facing a little loli whose body and appearance were solidified at the age of 7, Greem really couldn't move forward and retreat as freely as facing the enemy.

Doing the math, this Alice is almost 17 years old. But this loli body, this immature childlike face, it is really hard to treat her as a peer!

If her talent was ordinary, Greem would have left her aside for such a rebellious personality. However, seeing the magic of a top-level "magic stick" on the alien plane, Greem couldn't help but be very curious about the title of "Fate Witch" that Alice bears.

If... if you can personally cultivate a prophet of your own, then it will definitely be of great significance to the future.

It is precisely because of the existence of this kind of thinking that Greem also has strong expectations for Alice. If there is a chance to get closer to her, then Greem will definitely not be stingy.

Greem raised his head and thought for a while, his body is useful to her, and it's not too shabby, it seems that that's the only thing!

Thinking of this, Greem waved his hand and opened the witchcraft protection of the residence, and a layer of faint fluorescent light appeared on the walls, floor, and ceiling of the residence. In this way, even those who have mastered the highest level of authority in the wizard tower will not be able to pry into the secrets of Greem's residence without touching Greem's perception.

"You... what do you want to do...?" Alice took a step back suddenly, clutching her collar tightly with both hands, looking around in panic, with a look of panic and cowering.

"Hmph, with your bean-sprout-like figure, ghosts are interested in making plans for you!" Greem said angrily, "Didn't you want a gift? Here, this is the gift I brought you!"

After saying that, Greem took out a dusty cloth bag from his storage belt, and handed it to Alice reluctantly.

"It's okay if you don't think of me! What kind of gift is this? It looks so ugly..." Alice pinched her nose while gently picking up the cloth bag with two fingertips.

The cloth bag is obviously not a magical item, it is just an ordinary bag made of linen coarse cloth, not only old and tattered, but also smells of decay and dilapidation when the bag is opened.

Seeing the crude packaging of the gift, Alice instantly lost confidence in the contents inside.

She choked on her nose, suppressed her nausea, and pulled out a strange gray fist-sized stone from inside.

"This is the gift you brought back from the alien plane? A broken stone!"

Alice rolled her eyes, and then threw the stone away as soon as she threw it.

But as soon as the gray stone left her palm, fluorescent silver lines were drawn in the air. Before the stone fell to the ground, the silver thread began to vibrate, and a small opening vaguely opened in the void in front of him. And that stone seemed to have its own intelligence, and it was about to sink into this void hole and disappear on this plane in an instant.

Alice's piercing scream finally sounded.

"Void Stone!"
