Relying on the chip's holographic perspective, Greem could vaguely perceive the abnormality in the forest demon's abdomen.
During the fight just now, Lin Yao did show cowardice and cowardice.
Originally, Greem thought that her nature was like this, but now she realized that she was only trying to protect the 'fetus' in her womb, so she didn't dare to be as forceful as usual.
Looking at the black cat in his hand, and at the angry and anxious forest demon and Gargamel who was dying in the distance, Greem couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Did he kill them all, or force them to serve him for a while with a black cat
After hesitating for three fingers, Greem made up his mind.
"Serve me for thirty years, and I will let you go!"
Lin Yao's eyes lit up, and she was about to agree, but Gargamel stopped her.
"How can we trust that you won't backtrack?"
Obviously, as a wizard, Gargamel is well aware of the greed and insidiousness of the wizards, even himself.
"We can sign a fair and reasonable service contract. Relying on the constraints of the contract, you should believe it?" Greem sneered: "You better decide quickly. Once I find out that you are trying to delay time, hehe snort… "
Gargamel's heart was heavy when he heard the other party's threatening words, but he still insisted: "We can serve you for thirty years, but you can't give our children the slightest idea..."
The forest demon Ava, who was hiding behind Gargamel, obviously only considered this issue now, and immediately stared at Greem in horror.
Greem smacked his lips regretfully.
To be honest, he was really curious about the 'little life' bred by a wizard and a monster!
But for the sake of a longer-term future, Greem can only reluctantly give up.
Greem didn't intend to stay in the Sarubo family forever. When the time is right, he will raise his own banner and break away from the Sarupo family. In order to achieve this, he must secretly have a hidden subordinate who can obey his orders.
For this hazy ideal, Greem desperately befriended Mary and Alice just now, in order to draw them into his camp. Although Meryl had vague signs of getting closer to her, she was also a wizard of the Sarubo family after all. Once she broke away from the family, whether she would still be willing to follow her became an unknown.
After all, one side is a middle-level wizard family that is well-known in the Sandy Tallinn area, while the other side is the prototype of a family with two or three small soldiers. Comparing the two, which side can provide her with more resources and greater power? Obvious.
Therefore, Greem was not completely sure of pulling Meryl away.
Even Greem, who was in another world, wasn't 100% sure to pull her into his camp! Seriously speaking, the only one who has made it clear that he is willing to join Greem's camp is Alice in the far north.
Based on the analysis of these situations, Greem's current camp is still too weak and fragile. If Gargamel and Lin Yao can join, even if they are half-hearted, it will still be of great benefit to Greem's future strategic layout.
Considering this, Greem could only regretfully give up that 'little life'!
Holding the black cat in one hand, imprisoning it completely, and controlling the void in the other hand, Greem didn't spend much effort to draw up a fair, just, and open witchcraft contract. In addition to specifying the rights, obligations and responsibilities of both parties, the terms drafted in it did not attach any discriminatory and oppressive terms to the two parties, loosely similar to an equal partnership treaty.
This undoubtedly made Gargamel and Forest Demon Ava look at each other in dismay, and some couldn't believe their eyes.
After researching this contract for a long time, after confirming that it did not contain any fraudulent means or hidden clauses, and there were no misleading language traps, Gargamel and Ava put their soul imprints into it with half-belief.
After the contract was established, the clauses written in the flame runes slowly dissipated into the air, and the three of them vaguely felt the subtle changes in their souls.
There is no god of contract in the wizarding world, and wizards will not dedicate their loyalty to any god, so the witnesses of most contracts are the great and just world will. As long as within the world of wizards, anyone who violates the contract of witchcraft is destined to be spurned and backlashed by the will of the world.
This kind of punishment is unacceptable to any wizard!
Greem opened his big hand slightly, loosening the big lava hand that was tightly restraining the black cat, and his whole body also slowly shrank in the violent fire element shock. Now that he is no longer an enemy, there is no need to continue to maintain the Balrog form. After all, the flame energy gushing out from the Balrog's Heart is also a heavy burden on Greem's body!
The black cat flashed to Gargamel's feet almost as soon as it escaped from the shackles, and plunged into the shadows, never to appear again.
Gargamel hesitated for a moment, a look of embarrassment appeared on Yin Wu's face, and he bowed in a low voice: "Master, I wonder why you came to the Black Forest this time?"
The forest demon Ava also showed a curious look on one side.
To be honest, a guy like Greem who became violent and has the strength of an elite wizard doesn't look like a down-and-out person who needs to go out to collect materials by himself. Therefore, the two couldn't help being extremely curious about Greem's purpose.
Due to the witchcraft contract, Greem now trusts them far more than the rest of them. Therefore, facing Gargamel's inquiry, he no longer concealed it.
"I found out through some hidden ways that there is an underground volcano that can be used in this piece of black forest. The approximate location is... I don't know if you have any clues about it?"
Gargamel didn't have any clue about this, the two could only turn their heads to look at the forest demon Ava.
She is a jungle monster, and she has wandered in this black forest for a hundred years, so she is familiar with the situation everywhere, and it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to ask her for directions.
Sure enough, Lin Yao Aiwa immediately showed a thoughtful and hesitant look on her face.
"I'm vaguely familiar with the coordinates you mentioned. There seems to be a family of manticores there. There are about eleven of them. Among them, the seven adult ones have the strength of the wizard level, and the four young ones also have the power of the quasi-witch level. "
Manticore
Greem was a little dazed, and as soon as he thought about it, the data stored in the chip database had been extracted.
Manticore, a flying creature, is a terrifying monster that combines the characteristics of bats, lions and scorpions. It has a lion's head, a scorpion tail, four legs, and bat wings. It usually fights like a lion. The bat wings on its back allow it to glide at low altitudes and fly short distances. However, its most terrifying attack weapon is the scorpion tail on its back.
The toxin impregnated in the claws of the manticore possesses deadly lethality, but the scorpion tail behind it has a terrible paralyzing effect in addition to being extremely poisonous. The antidote formulated by the wizards is okay to resist the toxin, but it is completely useless against the paralysis effect.
Therefore, once the wizard is caught in the siege of the manticore, he is likely to be continuously paralyzed by the opponent, and he will be torn to pieces by the opponent without even a chance to resist.
However, the opponent's toxin and paralysis effects are ineffective on the golems, which is great news!
When Greem slowly contributed some of the manticore information he knew, the forest demon Ava showed an envious look on her face.
The reason why human wizards are powerful can be clearly understood from this point.
The forest demon Ava's understanding of the manticore is based on bloody battles. Any intuitive experience can only be obtained after paying a painful price. Human wizards, relying on the inheritance of knowledge from generation to generation, just mentioned a name, and they can quickly dig out useful information from the knowledge system.
Even if they haven't contacted each other yet, they can formulate a response plan in advance and prepare enough means. They come prepared in this way, as long as there are no major accidents, they can easily take advantage of the contact with monsters
In many cases, the quantity and quality of monsters are much higher than that of human wizards, but they can only become their hunting targets as they wish. This may be one of the main reasons!
Greem wasn't in the mood to slowly appreciate the feelings of the forest demon Ava at this moment, but instead kept asking about the terrain near the manticore's lair. After listening to Ava's answer, he was 70% sure that there was the entrance to the underground volcano he was looking for.
But this is a big matter, as to whether it is true or not, you need to go there in person to determine.
It wasn't until after everything had been discussed that Greem asked Gargamel to detoxify Sabrina and wake her up from a coma. In order to avoid revealing the relationship between the two parties, the forest monster Ava avoided in advance, while Gargamel stood meekly behind Greem.
When I woke up, the two sides of the battle had already shaken hands and made peace, and the monster was nowhere to be found. Although Sabrina knew that there must be something strange in it, she could only bury it deeply in her heart and never dared to ask more questions.
Things between wizards are definitely not something that a quasi-wizard can get involved in!
The more you know, the greater the danger, so Sabrina wisely chose to remain silent.
...
Near dawn, the three of them returned to the camp smoothly.
Compared with Greem's unscathed, Gargamel and Sabrina looked haggard, and even had to pull up their hoods to hide the burn marks on their faces.
Seeing that a few people came back smoothly, the rest of them were quite happy, only the pharmacy apprentice named Anthony had a trace of unconcealable surprise in his pupils.
He is a disciple of Wizard Gargamel, and he obviously knew part of the teacher's plan in advance. Seeing the three of them returning together at this moment, they were naturally very surprised and looked a little flustered.
But for such a small person, Greem didn't bother to deal with it, so Gargamel would naturally settle everything.
Therefore, everyone took a brief rest, and after eating the breakfast prepared by Neil, they embarked on the journey again!
