I was worried all the way, but the process of returning to the wizard's tower was quite smooth.

When Greem used the secret words to disperse the huge wind elemental body of the lightning giant, the elemental puppet, which was standing upright just now, turned into 7 crystal clear and bright magic crystal cores in a blink of an eye.

Before Greem could put them away, Mary rushed forward, snatched them into her hand and stroked them over and over again, looking like she couldn't put it down. After a while, she seemed to feel that just looking at it was not enough to express her love, so Mary picked up the main crystal core and rubbed it gently on her face, quietly feeling the slight numbness of the tiny lightning blooming on her face,

Uh... Seeing this scene, Greem couldn't help but have black lines in his head.

Come on, these things look beautiful and crystal clear, they seem to be very pure and beautiful, but they are actually fighting golems who kill people without blinking an eye, okay? Mary had just seen its violent and ferocious side, and she was still reluctant to part with it. This... This made Greem feel that there are not many normal guys walking on the road of wizards!

Suppressing the endless complaints in his heart, Greem finally got his number one puppet back from Mary, and at the same time threw a ball of blood-colored crystals to her. With the control power of the rock python's earth element, it is of course not a problem to remove the soil in the pool of blood. I just hope that Toril's strength won't drop too much after he lost his blood, otherwise it will be like adding a mortal enemy for nothing in the future.

After a great battle, the crystal nuclei of the lightning giant were fine, but the summoning nuclei of the rock python puppet were seriously damaged. Using a high-level rock python golem to entangle a powerful bloodline quasi-shaman desperately, the most direct consequence is that when Greem dispersed the golem's body, he found that the summoning crystal nucleus he picked up The elements are disordered, the magic power is surging, and it looks too useless.

Greem carefully looked at it for a long time, and when the chip determined that there was no hope of repairing the crystal nucleus, he could only put it away regrettably.

After finishing everything at the edge of the mountain range, the two quietly returned to the wizard's tower. However, at the moment when the two were about to step into the gate of the wizard tower, a pair of gargoyle statues squatting on both sides of the gate suddenly moved their bodies.

Accompanied by the creaking noise of limbs rubbing against each other, the gargoyle on the left leaned down from the high stone platform where it was squatting, and stared at Greem with its stone eyes that were struggling to turn.

"Hey, little guy, Master Angus, the enforcer, wants you to go to his residence immediately!"

After saying that, it withdrew its body, and once again changed into the previous volleying posture, motionless and without a sound.

Greem was startled suddenly.

He has been in and out of here many times in the past few days, and every time he can see this pair of gargoyle statues guarding the door. But it never occurred to him that they were puppet creatures, and they were... wizard-level.

It seems that this seemingly undefended public wizard tower is not as fragile as I thought!

So the rest of the trip became a thrilling trip that made people feel creepy. Wherever Greem and Mary went, whether it was the statues of seemingly dead objects or the shepherdesses hanging in the oil paintings on both sides of the corridor, they all came back to life, repeating that sentence over and over again.

"Go to Wizard Angus!"

And in the face of these reminders, if the two of them didn't know that they were being targeted by the Angus wizard, they would be fools. But this is what scares the two of them the most, because they are completely unaware of the means by which the other party monitors them.

So, in a dull and depressing atmosphere, the two walked into Angus' residence on the fifth floor of the Wizard Tower.

The Angus wizard met them in the laboratory.

It was not as scary as imagined, and there was no blood flow as imagined. This official wizard's private laboratory was clean and tidy, with bright lights, and it had the air and style of a high-end laboratory. However, in many bottles and jars, Greem sensed a dazzling red light, whether it was a lively small animal or a single magic organ, there was a strong energy atmosphere.

And this Angus wizard was obviously concocting some kind of special witch medicine. The laboratory table in front of him was full of vulcanization vials and reagents of different sizes and styles. When the two came to the laboratory, Angus was gently shaking a vulcanized test tube in his hand, and raised it to his eyes for careful observation from time to time.

The test tube contained some azure mysterious potion. Every time Angus shook it, countless small bubbles would appear in the blue potion, and then transformed into various forms of marine life. Sometimes it’s a mermaid riding a seahorse, sometimes it’s a thorny whale wagging its tail and spraying water, and sometimes it’s a group of silver swordfish jumping and chasing... In short, every time they shake, they change their shape, appearing weird and mysterious .

For such magical things, Mary has always lacked resistance, but she couldn't be presumptuous in an official wizard's laboratory, so she could only ask Greem with her mouth. Maybe Mary is far ahead of Greem in terms of rank, but when it comes to the storage and application of witchcraft knowledge, Greem can't beat her by more than three blocks.

The blood of a deep-sea mermaid!

Greem also answered with a mouth shape. Only the blood of deep sea mermaids located in the deepest part of the endless sea can have this special hallucinogenic effect. Yes, the fantastic scenes they saw just now were not real, but just the illusion power inspired by the slight vibration of the blue blood.

After a long time, the Angus wizard just put down the test tube in his hand, turned around and stared at the two of them.

"The patriarch of the Wharton family has protested to me just now, thinking that your reckless behavior has damaged the dignity of their family, and asked me to hand you over to them. Do you think I should follow his advice?"

Mary frowned, really didn't know how to answer, she turned her head and stared at Greem, beckoning him to answer with her eyes.

Greem smiled slightly, bowed and said: "Respected Lord Angus, as far as I know, the patriarch of the Wharton family is an ordinary person! As an ordinary person, how can he issue orders to you? If they If it really takes the lives of Mary and me to make amends, then the wizard behind them will definitely speak up himself."

Wizard Angus also narrowed his eyes, looking at the pair in front of him in surprise.

Vampire + Puppeteer!

And it's an advanced vampire + intermediate puppeteer!

But what surprised him was that in this group, this low-strength intermediate apprentice was still the core!

Is it because of the excellent puppet master potential shown by this kid, or is there some other factor? Otherwise, how could that senior vampire girl be willing to give up her right to speak

You must know that the apprentices who can embark on the path of wizards have never been kind people, and they are full of arrogance and self-centered careerists in their hearts. To expect them to be humble and kind to the weak and weak is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Therefore, when any wizard needs to form a team with others, he often respects the most powerful one, and looks ahead to everything. Among the apprentices, this situation was more obvious, so Angus showed great interest in the combination in front of him.

"Boy, it's useless to just rely on one mouth. This time you provoke Toril, the most promising wizard in the Wharton family. I heard that because of your reckless behavior, the time for that guy to advance is at least later. Postponed for 3 years! Jie Jie Jie... Now the people of the Wharton family are going crazy and are searching for your whereabouts. I am afraid that when you walk out of here, there will be groups of people outside waiting to arrest you and receive rewards What!" A malicious sneer appeared on Wizard Angus' face.

Greem's heart tightened, but he was more helpless.

If that Wharton family is really as powerful as Wizard Angus said, I'm afraid the two of them will be captured before they even have a chance to step into the Wizard Tower. Now that this Angus said so, and the threat in his words was so strong, he might still threaten them into the urn. Facing the threat of an official wizard, what choice can the two little wizard apprentices make

"Dear Lord Angus, Mary and I are just little wizard apprentices, of course we are willing to obey your orders. Is there anything we can do for you?"

Seeing that Greem was so witty, Wizard Angus showed a satisfied smile.

"Take out that puppet of yours and let me see!"

Greem offered it without saying a word.

After pinching several crystal nuclei one by one with his fingers and looking them over, the smile on Angus's face grew stronger.

"It seems that you made this all by yourself!"

"yes!"

"Give you 3 years, can you advance to become a wizard?" Wizard Angus suddenly changed the subject.

"Ah..." Greem was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and even Mary next to him couldn't help opening his eyes.

"This is nothing surprising! Because my protection for you can only last for three years at most. Once that Toril preempts advanced wizards, then I have no reason to stop him from seeking revenge on you. As for those of their family The clamor won't affect me, after all, you defeated him through a fair duel. If the family is required to come forward, then the Wharton family's face will be lost. But... "

"Mary and I are willing to pay any price in exchange for your protection. What orders do you have?"

"Jie Jie Jie... It's really easy to talk to a smart little guy like you. Nuo, this is a witchcraft contract, you sign it! Don't worry, I don't like your current strength. Once this contract is signed , you also signed a contract with our Byron family, and I can use the name of the family to protect you from revenge and harassment by the Wharton family for three years."

"Then what do I have to pay for it?"

"You must be promoted to an official wizard within 3 years, and then replace our Byron family to participate in a competition, a competition that only puppet masters, puppet masters, and constructors can participate in."
