The night is deep.
But Greem still didn't fall asleep, and even postponed the unshakeable 4-hour meditation routine.
In front of him was a list of wizards who would appear in Gilneas City in the near future.
The list is not long, there are only 5 names, but 3 belong to the Janu family.
This is already a scary number!
You should know that even in Feidenan City, where the headquarters of the Sarubo family is located, the number of resident wizards is usually 2-3. And the Yanu family sent 3 wizards to the vicinity of Gilneas City just for this trivial matter.
After losing the Flame Tyrant, Greem's usual strength was no more than that of a veteran wizard. Once the Balrog transformation is completed, the strength can rise to the level of an elite wizard. If he wanted to quickly deal with his opponent, he could only unseal the Balrog's heart and complete a second transformation, so that he could have the strength of an elite peak within a quarter of an hour.
With such combat strength, as long as he doesn't provoke too powerful opponents, Greem can even easily deal with the challenges of opponents of the same level. If he released a wizard-level puppet, he would have a greater chance of winning.
But this is aimed at wizards below the elite level. If he really wanted to meet an elite battle wizard and couldn't resolve the battle within a quarter of an hour, then Greem would be in a very dangerous situation. If those wizards still came prepared and prepared some fire-resistant wizard weapons and props, then Greem's combat power would be directly halved.
In order to solve this problem, Greem must complete the transformation of the dragon crystal's combat power as soon as possible, otherwise he may not be able to cope with so many challenges in this mission.
Lamir, female, from the Yanu family, spiritual wizard, good at controlling other people's minds with witchcraft power...
Xicha, male, from the Yanu family, a body-training wizard, possesses violent power and an indestructible body...
Flender, male, from the Yanu family, elemental wizard (water type), proficient in water type witchcraft, with great power. It is said that his 'Waterspout' also has a terrible record of severely injuring three wizards with one move...
Yinon, male, of the Sender family, a bloodline wizard (deformation system), can transform into a void bat, a void creature that transcends the material plane...
Baroque, male, Morrison family, elemental wizard (plant department), good at plant catalysis and magic plant transformation...
…
Due to inexplicable reasons, these five wizards all appeared near Gilneas City. Among them, 3 of the Yanu family are obviously here for themselves, while the remaining 2 wizards are a little confused.
Either there's something to do around here, or...
Too many possibilities gave Greem a headache.
According to that Ramir, the Yanu family intends to capture one or two members of the Sarupo family, and then exchange them for the Sac who hid in Feidnan City. So only Lamir himself was sent here, and the target was the two head apprentices.
But since Greem's arrival, the Yanu family felt that the weight of the two quasi-witches was still not enough, so they set their minds on him.
Originally, their family's plan was to send two more wizards to join Lamir to capture Greem. But this wizard Lamir was obviously too confident in his own strength, so he couldn't bear it and made the first move.
And the result... Naturally, nothing was gained.
Moreover, in order to know how Greem got rid of her spiritual suggestion, this wizard Ramir also made a deal with Greem in private, saying the names of the two wizards in an exchange of equal value.
Of course, it was impossible for Greem to reveal the secret of the chip, but he pushed everything above his natural ability. Although Lamir was not satisfied with this answer, he didn't bother too much.
Greem even had a feeling that even if he didn't do anything, this Lamir would find an excuse to hand over the information of those two wizards.
Looking at this information, Greem's head hurts!
An elite water-type wizard, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it is specially designed to deal with him. Assisting a body-training wizard who can fight and resist, and hiding a spiritual wizard who is difficult to discern next to him, it seems that he can't come up with a better way other than running away...
If you kill yourself, the other party will never do that.
After all, the overall strength of the Sarubo family is still higher than that of the Yanu family. Once a 6th-level great wizard is annoyed, the 4th-level Yanu patriarch will hide in the wizarding world for the rest of his life, and life will not be easy. Therefore, they dare not kill them.
The reason why they sent three wizards here at the same time was more because they wanted to capture Greem in one fell swoop and use it as a bargaining chip in family negotiations. And if Greem loses and is detained by the Yanu family, even if he is exchanged by the Sarupo family afterwards, it will have a big blow to his reputation.
This, perhaps, is the way that Lord Sanaza wants to beat Greem!
After thinking about this, Greem found helplessly that what he lacked the most was strength. To get rid of the current situation, there is almost no other way except to rely on strength far beyond the imagination of outsiders.
No wonder that Lamir threw out the information without paying attention. With the combination of an elite battle wizard and two veteran wizards, it is a matter of grasping to take down Greem. She wasn't worried that Greem could fly into the sky at all.
Perhaps the inside story of this conflict is secret, and she is also an insider!
In the next few days, Greem simply sealed himself in the stone tower, unable to leave behind closed doors.
He has temporarily suspended several other research projects, freeing up all the computing time of the chip to design, build and optimize the prototype of the second-order dragon crystal golem.
The estimated completion time of the chip is 9 days...
Let the chip work overtime day and night to build the data model and continue to optimize it, while Greem is searching for the necessary witchcraft materials. As the level of the magic puppet crystal nucleus is getting higher and higher, it is difficult for ordinary witchcraft materials to meet the high-intensity and high-power elemental energy output.
So in order to build this wind dragon puppet that Greem placed high hopes on, he began to use his authority as a garrison wizard, and transferred all the resources and materials he might use from the resource points and mine warehouses to the stone tower in one go.
And Billis and Sabrina were also instructed by him to turn around and temporarily turned into two little apprentices, busy handling these witchcraft materials for him every day.
Although these actions were not in compliance with the rules, at this moment, no one dared to point fingers at him.
However, when Greem was silently preparing for all this, the two wizards from the Yanu family arrived.
Greem didn't see their existence, and Viscount Salva didn't send any relevant information, but he just knew that the other party had already arrived.
Because since the fourth day, the surrounding area of Gilneas City has never been peaceful.
The first thing to happen was the Iron Ring Excavation Pit.
Suddenly it started to be haunted.
Overnight, there were 20 fewer miners at the dig site.
There is a small town near the dig site where most of the families have people who work in the mine. They dig in the mine during the day and return to the town to rest at night, and their days are peaceful.
However, on the fourth night of Greem's arrival in Gilneas, 20 miners suddenly disappeared from the town. They all disappeared inexplicably when they were resting in their own homes, and the family members who lived with them did not know their whereabouts at all. All I know is that after sleeping at night, they disappeared!
While everyone was talking, another 20 miners disappeared in their own homes on the second night.
At this moment, the wizard apprentices who were in charge of the excavation site couldn't sit still, and sent people to the home of the missing miner, but found no trace of witchcraft.
So Yuri Zhunwu, who was at a loss what to do, could only run to the Qingshi Tower, sweating profusely, to ask Greem for instructions.
"My lord, how do you think we should deal with this situation?"
"How do you usually deal with it, and how do you still deal with it now!" Greem replied slowly, holding a scroll in his hand.
"But..." Yuri couldn't help but murmur.
At this moment, he really desperately hoped that Greem could rush to the excavation site to sit in charge. With a wizard there, the hidden enemies would never be so aggressive.
Judging from the enemy's tactics, the possibility of being a wizard apprentice has basically been ruled out. This... This also means that the one who secretly peeped at the mine is most likely an official wizard from the Yanu family.
Thinking of a powerful wizard hiding in the dark and silently planning to deal with the mine at this moment, Yuri Zhunwu's heart trembled!
"Go back!" Greem still looked calm: "They just killed some miners. You go back and pay more gold coins to appease them. I will naturally deal with the rest!"
Greem had already said it so bluntly, even though Yuri Zhunwu was unwilling, he could only salute and leave.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the limitation of his duties, this Yuri quasi-witch would have thought of moving to live in the stone tower, and he didn't want to go back to that excavation pit at all.
However, under Greem's persecution, Yuri Zhunwu gritted his teeth and could only turn around and rush back to the excavation site.
After Yuri left, Greem raised his head, looked at the scene outside the tower and said with a sneer, "You want to trick me out? Hmph, push my tower if you have the guts! I want to see who The first one can't hold it..."
Since the enemy even used the trick to lure the snake out of the hole, they must have the confidence to eat Greem in one bite. That's why he speculated based on this that the two fellow wizards that Lamir mentioned had arrived, and they were opening a net, waiting to catch him in one go.
"Let's make trouble, make trouble..." Greem murmured, "My wind dragon is not healthy, even if you make trouble, don't try to trick me out. Hmph..."
So, in the next three or four days, several resource points near Gilneas City were attacked one after another by the Sarubo family. Either it was a fire suddenly ignited in the warehouse, or the potions planted in the resource point suddenly withered in large areas, or some people suddenly disappeared...
At the beginning, most of the missing people were just ordinary people. Later, even some of the family apprentices stationed there disappeared inexplicably.
The whole city of Gilneas was turbulent, and people panicked. Some clever nobles and business houses even escaped this terrible vortex early.
And the greater pressure fell directly on Greem!
