Minar Valley.
It is difficult for the bright sunlight to shine in through the dense canopy, making the forest shrouded in a confusing darkness. A faint mist filled the forest, and the entire forest was silent, and even the most common insects and birds could not be heard.
In this dead silence, a black figure suddenly emerged from the shadow cast by a emerald poplar tree, and quickly turned into a hazy and illusory figure.
With a splash, the water mist spread, revealing the mysterious wizard with a handsome and cold face wearing a sky blue wizard robe.
After the mysterious wizard appeared, he glanced around, but didn't find anything unusual, then he stomped his feet lightly, and a gloomy cold air penetrated the ground, touching a certain talisman array there.
Silently, a thick snake neck flower suddenly drilled out of the soil in a forest glade. The layers of petals opened one after another, and a rough-looking skin wearing a gold ring and a leopard claw was spit out. A strong man.
"Hey, no news yet?" Seeing his companion's silent expression, the strong man immediately became irritable: "It's been four days, no matter how timid that bastard is, he should come here to take a look! Did he get something? news, otherwise why are you so calm?"
"I'll have to ask Lamir about it!" The blue-robed wizard complained with displeasure on his face, "She decided to carry out a surprise attack on her own, not only did she not catch that guy, but she also made him more vigilant."
"Could it be that bitch Lamir who sold us out?" The rough man's thoughts changed, his eyes gradually turned fierce: "Lamir, come out for me... I know you're here, get out here..."
With the roar of the rough man, the whole forest was buzzing, which made the blue-robed wizard frowned. With a wave of the short-handled witch staff in his hand, a colorful translucent water barrier blocked the place up.
This place is still too close to the enemy's iron ring excavation site. If the vigilance witch formation inside finds out the abnormality here, it will be difficult for them to carry out their follow-up plans.
creak creak...
A strange ape cry came from the depths of the forest, and four or five gibbons flew over the edge trees above the canopy, and finally stopped on a big tree in front of the two of them, staring straight at the tree. watching them.
"Lamir, you still dare to come out... say, did you betray the information that we are coming? Otherwise, how could that kid be so shrewd? The sky has been turned upside down here, and he can still stay in the city obediently and not come out …”
The originally cloudy and dull pupils of the gibbon in front of the two of them suddenly emitted a glint of light from the bottom of the pupils, and then the whole 'person' became smart and agile.
"Xicha, you savage, I'm too lazy to talk to you... I also have a share in this mission, so what good does it do me if the mission fails?" The gibbon suddenly spoke, and the voice that came out was a female voice.
"Hmph, that's not certain. Everyone knows that you and Flender have always been at loggerheads, who knows if you're going to plot something behind your back?" Xi Cha put his arms around his shoulders, showing distrust on his face.
"Okay, okay..." Flender, the blue-robed wizard who had been standing aside with a cold face, cut off the confrontation between the two: "No matter whether that guy has heard anything, we must lure him out. It is suitable, and there is no need to worry about interference when fighting, we still arrange this place as the first battlefield."
"Hmph, the environment here is indeed the best, the most suitable for ambushes and raids. We know this, and I'm afraid the kid knows it too. It's been a few days since the accident happened in the mine, and he doesn't even want to come to investigate. The iron ring excavation site has given up." Although Xicha is a body-training wizard and a muscular man, in terms of wisdom, his mind is not inferior to Flender, who is good at spiritual power.
"There is another apprentice of his in the mine, or I can lure him out too. Maybe I can force that bastard to show up!" Gibbon rolled his eyes and said with an idea.
"Take it out first and close it, and see the effect!" The blue-robed wizard Flender frowned and thought hard.
Although he knew that this Lamir was willing to come up with ideas, he must have no good intentions, but after thinking about it, he couldn't detect any kind of conspiracy hidden in it.
"Let's wait another day. If that guy still doesn't come out, we'll demolish that level 2 resource point for him. I don't believe he can still squat in the stone tower under such circumstances. Xicha, you Work harder, find a suitable ambush position near the resource point, and wait for me there after setting up the talisman... "
"and you… "
"I'll go to Gilneas City to have a look." The blue-robed wizard Flender gritted his teeth, "If that kid really doesn't intend to stand out, we can only raid his stone tower if necessary. Fortunately, it's just a crude defensive wizard. Formation, not the War Witch Tower, otherwise our mission would be really difficult!"
This is going to step on the opponent's lair.
Xi Cha didn't ask for specific details anymore, after all, that Lamir was also here. Regardless of whether she leaked the secret or not, it is better to keep your whereabouts secret.
The three had a brief exchange, and then broke up again, each going in different directions.
The forest near the hoop excavation site soon fell silent again.
...
Bluestone Tower.
Greem was in a bad mood.
He had just received a message of witchcraft from Meryl from Fei Denan that Kodal's funeral would be held in three days at a small place called Molloy.
It was also where his original family's cemetery was!
Kodar failed and died in the promotion ceremony ten days ago.
It is said that when the clansman carried him out of the secret room, all the flesh and organs in his body were sucked out by the promotion ceremony, and his body was thin and dry like a skeleton.
Without the quasi-shaman Kodar, his family will inevitably decline for a period of time. Although there are still some talented seedlings among the descendants of the family, it takes time and resources for them to grow up.
So when Meryl faced the weeping old patriarch, she was obviously not good at dealing with such a scene as a wizard. So when she returned to Feidnan City, she had a little girl named Mona by her side.
Mona, 18, Junior Apprentice…
This short amount of information is simply good, but it is enough to judge this Mona's death sentence!
She is already 18 years old, and she is only a junior apprentice, which is enough to show that her talent potential is very low. To train such a junior apprentice, the resources consumed are enough to train 3-5 guys with outstanding talent and potential.
Meryl is simply asking for trouble for herself!
As a new wizard, she doesn't have much resource reserves, and there are a group of family apprentices waiting for her to train. Now there is another half-sister of Kodal, this big burden is likely to slow down her own development plan.
Although he didn't agree with Meryl's actions, Greem thought about it, and sent messages to Kirby the Goblin and Gargamel on the Throne of Fire, and the amount of resources allocated to Meryl was increased.
As members of the Greem faction, in order to maintain their close relationship with themselves, in addition to the nominal mentor-disciple relationship, Greem will also give them a huge discount when purchasing resources and teaching knowledge. This can also help them save a lot of resources, allowing them to use this part of resources to strengthen themselves and knowledge reserves, and also improve their personal strength in disguise.
Therefore, if you want to gather a group of people, the huge amount of resources you need to spend is almost unimaginable to outsiders.
To give the simplest example, so many wizard apprentices would rather accept harsh witchcraft contracts than join a certain wizard family or witchcraft organization. Why
The purpose is to get a certain share of resource subsidies, and when you reach the threshold of quasi-witch, you can get a free wizard promotion ceremony sponsored by the family. And if the witchcraft materials and resources consumed in this wizard promotion ceremony are converted into magic crystals, the basic value should be 10,000 magic crystals.
And 10,000 magic crystals, for a wandering quasi-shaman to rely on his own strength, I am afraid that it will not be enough in seven or eight years. If you also consider that many of the resources needed for promotion ceremonies cannot be collected in the market, most of them are monopolized by wizard families.
This made it even more difficult for them to obtain promotion ceremony props in disguise!
Many wandering apprentices who were forced to do nothing could only venture into the resource point of a wizard family, in order to steal some rare resources that were not available in the market. But there are not a few guys who were killed because of this.
So that's how the hatred between wandering wizards and apprentices and wizard families came about.
Just as Greem was fascinated by this, Sabrina came to report again.
The two head apprentices, Yuri and Moss, are here again!
This... is already their twelfth visit to Wizard Greem in five days!
It can also be seen from their expressions every time they come that the situation on the front line is getting more and more urgent. In the past, it was only some hired handymen and guards who had accidents, but in the past two days, the missing people have spread to the group of wizard apprentices.
In just two days, 2 intermediate apprentices and 1 advanced apprentice disappeared from the iron ring excavation site, and an intermediate apprentice was also missing from the level 2 resource point.
The disappearance of these guys was very strange, and there were no traces of fighting or killing at the scene, as if they had slipped out of their residences and out of the range guarded by the defensive witch array.
Of course, Greem knew the inside story here, but he didn't reveal anything to these 'subordinates'. After all, it was difficult for him to distinguish which of these people he could trust and which he could not, so for the sake of confidentiality, he simply did not see anyone, and asked Sabrina to send them away every time.
In the hall on the first floor, the two head apprentices fidgeted frequently looking up at the door.
When they saw only Sabrina walking in and no wizard Greem, they couldn't help showing despair and resentment on their faces.
Once upon a time, they still regarded this famous fire demon lord as their idol in their hearts. But now...
"Master Greem is still busy with his witchcraft experiments, so I don't have time to see you for now." Sabrina paused, her scarlet mechanical eyes flashing a few times: "He asked me to tell you, this is just the enemy's harassment tactic , as long as you..."
"Harassment..." Yuri, who was under the most pressure, was the first to be unable to hold on: "In order to avoid the invasion of the enemy, several of our wizard apprentices have moved to live in one room, but there are still apprentices who are still disappearing. Although it is my duty to guard the iron ring excavation site, Lord Greem also has to bear part of the responsibility. If the Lord does not come forward, we can only ask the family for help... "
Without looking at Sabrina's expression, she turned and left the stone tower angrily.
The Moss apprentice also sighed secretly, and walked out silently with his head down.
On the upper floor of the stone tower, Greem stood in the shadows by the narrow window, silently watching the two leaving figures, and silently communicating with the chip.
"Chip, how long will it take to complete the data model?"
"Drip, 36 hours, 49 minutes and 52 seconds..."
If you add the time it took to make the Wind Dragon Golem by yourself, it means that it will take at least 48 hours before you can take any action.
Greem couldn't help squinting his eyes, and the cold light in his pupils became colder and colder.
