After a long month of waiting, the expected boot finally landed.
The service contract signed by Greem and the Sarubo family has lasted for a hundred years, and now it has been ten years. It can be regarded as passing the protection period of the new wizard and becoming an official wizard of the family. Therefore, the mandatory tasks of the family will follow one after another.
If, as Meryl previously revealed, Greem will be sent to Gilneas City, which is closest to the conflict area, where there is an Iron Ring excavation site belonging to the Sarubo family to produce high-quality Jade Moonstone and Topaz jade is famous.
Of course, there is also a family's secondary resource point nearby, which is also a target that the garrison wizard needs to guard.
According to the past rules, Greem, as the resident wizard sent by the family, needs to maintain the basic security of these two regions. Their daily production is usually in charge of another batch of specialized quasi-sorcerers and senior apprentices, and Greem doesn't need to stay there all the time.
However, when resource points and mines have problems that cannot be solved by the guardian force, Greem, the garrison wizard, must come forward to expel or kill those wizard-level enemies that threaten resource collection.
So usually, Greem can spend his days leisurely in the bustling and bustling city of Gilneas. Generally, the head apprentice who guards the small troubles will solve it by himself, and only when facing wizard-level enemies will he be sent to invite him to sit in charge.
So this kind of garrison mission can almost be regarded as a beautiful job, except that it is not very free.
After all, it was close to the resource point, and the local managers and local nobles must have changed their tricks to please the garrison wizard like Greem. As long as he is willing, there is no problem with drinking and drinking every day, and having banquets and revelry every day. And at regular intervals, the managers of several resource points and mines must have additional resources to offer. This is a tacit thing, so it is also a basic benefit of the garrison wizards.
But these are things in peacetime, and the situation is obviously different now.
Some time ago, the chief apprentice of the Iron Ring excavation site, a quasi-witch named Thak, had a conflict with a quasi-witch of the nearby Yaxi family when he was out collecting resources, and killed him by 'missing'.
As a result, the deep-seated conflict between the Sarubo family and the Aki family exploded in this instant!
Of course, in private, the upper echelons of the Sarubo family and the Aki family must have started secret contacts, arguing about topics such as 'revenge' and 'compensation'. But with Sanazan's fiery temper, how could he easily agree to the other party's conditions, hand over Sark, and compensate the resources.
Therefore, when the two sides are arguing endlessly, the frontier of this family has become a powder keg, and it is likely to become the target of the other party's revenge.
Although killing among wizards is strictly prohibited in the Sandy Tallinn area, if there is a good excuse, then those bigwigs from the Wizarding Association will turn a blind eye and not participate in the battle between the two wizarding families. friction' among.
In view of the tense situation near Gilneas City, there was an urgent need for a powerful battle wizard to sit there, so Greem, the 'stab', was sent there logically.
The Sarubo family gave Greem only 20 days to prepare.
After more than twenty days, Greem hadn't appeared in Gilneas City yet, and Lord Furgen, the second-level wizard in charge of the Sarubo family, was about to 'talk' to him.
As for the safety of Greem's own Wu Tower, no one has ever mentioned this.
The Sarubo family's territory is so large, he didn't choose it, but chose to root his Wuta in a wild black forest. This has obviously caused dissatisfaction among the family's senior management. And this family compulsory mission is a blow to him.
A normal wizard would have two or three different choices when faced with a family's compulsory mission, and then choose one freely according to his own preferences and time.
Usually this kind of garrison mission takes two years at a time, and he can arrange and act on his own in the remaining three years, and the next round will not proceed until the five-year period expires.
It's a pity that this time Master Sanaza personally assigned Greem a compulsory task, so even if he felt dissatisfied, Greem didn't have the guts to argue with the other party.
After receiving the mission document from the family, Greem could only try his best to arrange the internal affairs of the Wu Tower.
This time he may be away for a longer period of time, and the security work and internal development around Wuta need to be properly arranged. And before leaving, he needs to clean up those 'stabs' that pose a threat to Wuta!
...
A giant elephant is a powerful monster with a strong sense of territory.
Once the territory is delineated, they will wander in it all the time. Any powerful creature that enters their territory will be frantically attacked by the giant elephant herd.
In contrast, those weak creatures will not arouse their vigilance and attack.
So in the giant elephant living area, it is impossible for you to find other monsters!
In the black forest shrouded in night, densely packed giant trees stretch into the sea.
Each giant tree is tens of meters high, with dense branches and leaves covering the sky and covering the sky, and it is almost impossible to see anything on the ground when flying through the sky.
According to the information provided by Anguja, Greem rode on the back of the manticore leader, and under the cover of a huge night, he quickly slid along the forest to the area where the giant elephants lived.
Due to the shelter of the giant tree crown, even with Greem's vision and perception, it is difficult to see the secrets under the dense branches and leaves. However, hovering over the dark forest sea, Greem could always catch the abnormal trembling of certain tree crowns with his keen vision.
The night wind whistled by his side.
The manticore leader's wide bat wings stretched out, and with the help of the wind, he easily shuttled across the forest.
Greem looked around, and soon found several abnormalities in the undulating black forest. It seemed that there was some giant beast passing through the forest, and the giant tree that collided with it couldn't stop shaking.
Greem patted the manticore leader under him lightly, and the manticore leader immediately turned around knowingly, and spread his wings to glide there.
When approaching there, the leader of the manticore retracted his bat wings, leaned down slightly, and used his tough body to smash away the dense branches and leaves blocking the way, and plunged into the dark forest.
After rushing into the forest, the leader of the manticore spread out his bat wings again, and glides nimbly and nimbly among the tall ancient trees. From time to time, he would stop on a thick branch and scan the bizarre forest world with his sharp eyes.
Boom...
A giant elephant as tall as a hill slowly patrolled the territory. With its huge body, every step it takes will make the ground tremble uncontrollably.
Suddenly, its long nose raised high, its huge body turned around with unimaginable agility, and its blood-red eyes fixed on the dark place in the distance.
There, it seems that there is a dangerous atmosphere that makes it feel disgusted!
Roar…
The giant elephant raised its thick front legs and stomped heavily on the ground under its feet. The long and thick trunk swung from side to side, shaking several big trees around it. And the two fangs that curved forward in a huge arc scraped against the giant tree, causing its sawdust to fly, and the bark peeled off, revealing the white stubble underneath.
As a monster that likes to stick to its territory, the giant elephant raised its trunk and let out a threatening roar to demonstrate to the opponent. If the creature in the dark voluntarily leaves, it continues to roam the territory as if it hadn't seen it.
After all, this terrible intuition of danger made him understand that the guy he met today is not someone who can be provoked at will. However, no one understood its 'good intentions', and instead of leaving, the creature in the darkness walked towards it.
Boom boom boom...
Without the slightest hesitation, the bloody giant elephant immediately launched a death charge, lowered its body slightly, lowered its head, pointed its two sharp fangs at each other, and rushed towards the dark place with rumbling heavy steps. A humanoid.
The other party was a human being, wearing a black robe, with strong elemental fluctuations rippling in his body.
This made it immediately recognized that it was a human wizard!
Although when he moved here, the leader of the giant elephant had already learned that there was a wizard tower for human wizards nearby. But with the stubborn idea of "well water does not violate river water", the leader of the giant elephant still chose to tie his home here.
During this period of time, many monsters around have come to win it over, but the leader of the giant elephant strictly restrained his subordinates and did not allow them to step out of the territory easily. Unfortunately, its painstaking efforts are still in vain. It didn't go to trouble with human wizards, but human wizards found it!
Filled with rage and bloodthirsty rage, the leader of the giant elephant was like a moving mountain of meat, bumping into two or three trees that were in the way, and rushed towards Greem with an unstoppable and brave attitude.
Greem, who was shrouded in black robes, raised his head, two glaring red glows lit up under the shadow of the deep hood, and he held a witch staff in his left hand, and stretched out his right hand, a terrifying stream of bright red flames spurted from the palm of his hand. It shot out, across a distance of 30 meters, and scraped head-on towards the exposed skull of the giant elephant leader.
呲味…
The strange sound of crazily burning flesh and blood resounded.
A thin layer of protective force field appeared around the leader of the Giant Elephant, briefly blocking the flame flow in Greem's hand, and then its huge body rushed past Greem's hiding place like a runaway train.
A huge flame rises.
Greem's 'thin' body disappeared under the thick iron hooves of the leader of the giant elephant, and when he reappeared, he stood proudly on the opponent's broad back.
A huge lava fireball continuously gathered in his palm.
When the fire element in it was so strong that even he could no longer control it, Greem flicked his wrist and threw it fiercely at the head of the giant elephant leader, while he disappeared into the flames again.
Boom...
There was an earth-shattering explosion.
Terrifying flame shock waves and soaring fire waves erupted in the silent black forest.
In the blink of an eye, the huge space with a radius of 20 to 30 meters was engulfed by the monstrous sea of flames!
