Pine Tower City.
Inside the floating warship.
Gargamel's face was full of anger as he turned off the communication spell. He then stood up and left the command hall. He walked through a long metal corridor and arrived at the door of a secret room.
* Knock knock knock. *
With a few light knocks, the all-metal door split open in the middle and slid into the walls on both sides without a sound.
Inside the secret room, Grimm was naked from the waist up while Mary and Alice carefully treated his wounds.
"What do you need to report now? Don't you know that the head of the house is receiving treatment? "Mary frowned and asked with dissatisfaction.
Gargamel smiled awkwardly.
"Tell me, what happened?" Grimm saw many things from Gargamel's expression and took the initiative to ask.
"The Magic Mechanical Legion we sent to the border area has been stopped …"
"What? There are still people who dare to block our way at this time? Who is it? Hurry up and tell me who it is. I'll go and tear them apart right now! "Mary's blood-red eyes immediately lit up when she heard this, and she looked eager to give it a try.
"The Randner Family's Dripping Spears appeared in the southwest, the Entom Family's White Ghosts appeared in the northwest, and the Banta Family's Swamp Wyverns appeared in the north as well … The other families' troops also appeared in the other directions. The magic troops we were in charge of chasing after them were all blocked."
"They were only blocked, and there was no direct confrontation, right?" Grimm frowned and asked.
"No!" Gargamel shook his head, "All the Magus Families' troops said that they were under the orders of the association and were in charge of monitoring the battlefield. They did not directly attack our families."
Grimm pondered for a moment and turned to look at Alice.
Alice's gentle and beautiful face showed a trace of anticipation. She explained to Grimm in a low voice, "They did not attack, which means that the higher-ups of the association do not want to fall out with us for the time being. By blocking our troops, they want to tell us that there is a limit to battles that cannot be crossed. From the looks of it, the association has tacitly allowed us to rule the entire Elobis region, but they will not allow the flames of war to spread to the outside world. "
"He said he wanted to fight us, so he came to fight us. He said we can't fight back, so we can't fight back? Humph, this group of old bastards, they really control too much … "Mary's temper was still as fiery as before, and she looked angry.
Grimm sighed and turned to Gargamel, "Inform all the Magi of the family that the main target is still the Fabris family. As for enemies other than the Fabris family, temporarily delay the pursuit! However, all enemies within Elovis' territory who haven't surrendered by midnight tonight will be killed! "
"Yes!"
Gargamel bowed and was about to leave to pass on the order, but he was stopped by Grim.
"I've listened to Lady Mary's recount of the recent happenings in the family. You … did very well. You didn't let me down!"
"This is what I should do! He's not worthy of Sir's praise … "Hearing Grimm's praise, Gargamel's gloomy face immediately revealed an unconcealable smile.
"This time, I also obtained some good things from the Otherworld. Count this as your reward! "
After saying this, Grimm took out three strange purple bottles from his storage ring and stuffed them into Gargamel's hands.
"These three potions, one is a Bloodline Reconstruction Potion, and the other two are Bloodline Purification Potions. You currently have the strength of a high-grade Grade 1 Magus, but you're still far from the peak of Grade 1. With the Bloodline Reconstruction Potion, you'll be able to obtain the bloodline of the Black Mamba Serpent Tribe. They also seem to be poisonous, and will be compatible with your innate Magus talent. "
"More importantly, after becoming a Bloodline Magus, your lifespan will also be extended to a certain extent. After using two more Bloodline Purification Potions, it should be enough for you to advance to Grade 2! "
Grimm warned Gargamel about many things that he needed to pay attention to, but at this moment, Gargamel looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire being was in a daze, and he had completely lost control of himself. All he knew was to hold the three potions and laugh foolishly.
Others might not know about his situation, but Gargamel clearly knew that he only had 11 years left to live!
Ever since he had become Grimm's butler in the scattered Tower Forest region, he had worked day and night for the sake of the Crimson Family, almost abandoning his Potioneering profession. His innate talent was not good, and being able to become a Grade 1 Magus was already a blessing from the heavens. Hence, he had never expected to advance to Grade 2.
The reason why he worked so hard for Grimm and the Crimson Family was not for himself, but because he hoped that Grimm would look at his hard work and treat the Forest Demon Ava and his precious daughter Emelia well.
However, at this moment, just as his life was about to come to an end, a huge gift fell onto his head. Not only could he continue to live, but he could also live a better and more comfortable life than before. This … This kind of good news almost broke his heart, causing him to feel dizzy. He did not know if everything that was happening in front of him was a dream or reality.
Grimm shook his head in annoyance as he looked at Gargamel who had bitten the back of his hand and jumped up in pain.
"Looks like I'll be the one giving the orders! I think Gargamel has gone crazy … "
As soon as Mary said this, Gargamel immediately woke up and hugged the three potions tightly, as if he was hugging the most important things in his life.
"I'll go … I'll go … I'll go now …"
After saying this, he jogged out of the secret room.
After the door to the secret room was closed, Mary turned around and smiled sweetly at Grimm.
"Looks like you've obtained quite a lot of good things from your trip to another world. You've already prepared a gift for that foolish Magus, so what about mine? " Mary said as she gently ground her canine teeth, as if saying 'if you don't have a gift, I'll bite you.'
Mary was now a Grade 3 Vampire Magus, and if she bit him, even Grimm's spiritual force would be greatly damaged.
"Don't, don't, don't … Let's use force, not words! Don't you want a gift? Here … Here … "
Grimm hurriedly took out two tightly sealed clay jars from his storage ring and handed them to Mary.
Mary took them and looked at the clay seal that was full of mysterious runes. She then looked at the vase that was made in a foreign world, and the craftsmanship seemed to be a little rough. This clay jar was obviously handmade by someone. Due to the rushed work, the jar was not perfectly round, and even the colors on the patterns had mostly fallen off.
She raised it up and shook it. It was obvious that it was filled with some kind of viscous and heavy liquid. This caused Mary's ruby red eyes to light up. She used her sharp fingertip to break the clay seal and dipped it into the black and red viscous liquid. Mary almost screamed out loud.
"Grade 3 … This is the blood of a Grade 3 creature! Are you sure these are for me? "Mary was so excited that even her red eyes shone.
Grimm nodded as if it was a matter of course.
If not for Mary, he wouldn't have spent so much effort to lure a group of Grade 3 Golden Knights into a trap in the Envik Plane. In that earth-shattering battle, Grim, Tess, and Itariel, the three wizards, were all severely injured.
However, the Holy Knights were even worse off!
First, they were ruthlessly trapped by the witchcraft traps that the witches had buried under the Poison Swamp. Then, taking advantage of the moment when they were in a state of confusion and panic, the three wizards worked together to defeat the seven Grade 3 Golden Knights. They attacked fiercely at all costs, leaving the seven Grade 3 Golden Knights in the Poison Swamp forever.
The blood of the Golden Knights was extracted, tempered, and sealed in clay jars. This was done by Tess herself. After that, their Holy Light Souls were taken away by Grimm, leaving only broken corpses for the witches.
Among the remaining Deception Witches, there were obviously people who were good at making wizard beasts or Corpse Puppets. With this batch of high-quality Holy Knights' corpses, they could create a terrifying team of wizard beasts.
With the protection of this team of wizard beasts, they would undoubtedly be more confident.
As long as they didn't run into the two Grade 4 Holy Knights, the witches had a high chance of surviving in the Envik Plane!
As for whether or not to rescue them, it was the internal affairs of the Deception Witches, and Grimm didn't care about it. Therefore, as soon as they returned to the Sorcerer World, Grimm parted ways with Itariel and went their separate ways.
Grimm briefly told Mary and Alice about the old story and then glossed over it.
Mary happily took the two clay jars and went to another secret room to taste them, leaving Grimm and Alice in the room.
When only he and Alice were left in the room, Grimm smirked and lightly patted his thigh. Alice rolled her eyes at him, blushed, and sat on his thighs shyly.
Grimm pulled Alice into his arms and buried his face into her silky, long hair. Sniffing her body fragrance, Grimm let out a long sigh. He felt a trace of exhaustion from the inside out.
In the five years he had been running around in the Otherworld, Grimm had never had a good rest or sleep. He spent almost every moment fighting with others or being on guard. Even when he was trapped in an underground volcano, he didn't dare to let go and sleep. He could only use meditation to replace sleep.
The continuous battles, the repeated injuries … Although most of his injuries had healed, the accumulated fatigue and tiredness had deeply etched into his spirit and soul.
After returning to his family, he didn't even have time to rest before he threw himself into the battle with the Grade 4 wizards.
Even a man made of steel wouldn't be able to bear the weight of all these things!
Therefore, he buried his face in Alice's hair, inhaled the fragrance of the beauty in his arms, and said a few words to her in a daze. Then, he fell into a deep sleep.
