At first, there was dead silence, but then Nina laughed so hard that she rocked back and forth.
"What … What did you say … You've fallen in love with … Alice … Haha … This is so funny …"
The green mist did not move at all.
Poison Centipede Endor's wrinkled and ugly face was completely lifeless. Even his cloudy eyes were frozen in place, not moving at all.
Grimm's face was calm and solemn, without any expression on it.
Nina, who was halfway through laughing, rubbed her waist and finally stood up straight. She slowly scanned her surroundings, and finally fixed her gaze on Grimm.
"Is what you said true? You're not joking … "Nina still could not believe it.
Grimm nodded expressionlessly. Everything did not seem to be fake.
Nina rubbed her forehead and rubbed her eyes. She gritted her teeth for a long time, but found that she could not say anything harsh.
Were there still magicians who would risk their lives for love in this day and age? Go lie to Big Head! Such people could only be found in the novels of mortals. But in reality …
Originally, Nina could confidently expose Grimm's' lies', but for some reason, there was a voice in the depths of her heart that whispered, "It's not impossible".
This made her even more irritated and furious!
An incomparably sharp murderous aura of the Red Mantis Fruit spread out from the green mist.
The existence of the Grade 3 Sanazar was like a bucket of ice water that could freeze one's bones, instantly extinguishing all the delusions in Nina's heart!
"Good, very good …" Nina did not know what to say at that moment. She struggled to climb onto the Thunder Roc beside her, and said ruthlessly, "You can protect your love, I'll come back for you …"
After saying that, the Grade 2 Thunder Roc, which had the powerful power of lightning, flapped its wings and soared into the sky, almost disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that Nina had left, Poison Centipede Endor, who had a dull expression on his face, wanted to talk to Grimm, but he immediately felt a slight pressure coming from the depths of the green mist.
Endo could only silently step onto his magic broom, wanting to say something before leaving. He only said, "Alice is still young" before flying away.
A gentle breeze blew, and the sea of trees rustled.
There were only two people left in the crowded hall.
Grimm stood on the cliff with an awkward expression, waiting for the last round of questioning.
"Why?" The inevitable question finally came.
"Sir, between 500,000 magic crystals and the friendship of the Destiny Witches, what would you choose?" Grim did not dare to speak carelessly in front of Lady Sanazar, who had always been protecting him.
In order to shut the Northern Witches' mouths, Grim had no choice but to make a big lie. Magi were all realistic people. If there wasn't a good reason, no one would believe you!
Since the Northern witches believed that Grim had another motive for protecting Alice, if he could not come up with a good enough reason, the witches would always doubt his motives. Although the excuse of love was old-fashioned and enough to make some people laugh their heads off, it was just right for the Northern Witches.
Didn't you suspect that I had ulterior motives? So now I'm plotting something. I'm plotting Alice!
Although such a reason was absurd, it was enough to stop the witches from bargaining.
However, this excuse could not be used to deal with Sanazar!
If Grim dared to say that he loved Alice, that was why he wanted to protect her. He was sure that the hot-tempered Sanazar would slap him to death right here and now.
For the sake of an illusory love story, the Sarubo Family had to take on the Deceit Witches. This kind of inexplicable hatred would definitely annoy any family member!
Therefore, when facing Sanazar, Grim could only openly talk about benefits.
A disdainful sneer came from the green mist.
"Can you guarantee that Alice can survive the Battle of Destiny? Why did I hear that she sacrificed all of her abilities in order to successfully advance! Can you guarantee that such a useless thing can survive? "
This was also the result of Grim's negotiation with Alice. The existence of the Mutated Void Stone must not be leaked. At least, before Alice became a Destiny Witch, this trump card must not be leaked!
"Yes! I promise! "Grim's answer was resolute.
"Why?"
"Because of the Steel Puppet I'm making for her. Also, I can let her use my Inferno Tyrant!"
"Ugh …"
Sanazar had seen Grim's Inferno Tyrant before. With regards to its strength, Sannazar acknowledged that it would have no problem taking on an elite Magus on its own!
With Grim's puppet craftsmanship, if he could make a steel puppet for Alice, even an idiot would dare to try his luck in the 'Battle of Fate'!
Sanazar was silent.
After a long time, the voice came from the green mist again.
"If it's successful, I want the permanent management rights of the Destiny Witches' territory. The Sarubo Family can bear all the resources you need to make the Steel Puppet. As long as Alice is still in the Sarubo Family, I can guarantee her safety. It's settled then! "
Without waiting for Grim's reply, the green mist floated and disappeared in an instant.
… …
When Grimm returned to his residence, he was welcomed by Alice and Kabi.
The two of them held a deck of tarot cards in their hands and seemed to be playing cards for fun.
However, Kabi's green face was covered with paper of all sizes, while Alice's face was clean. She was even holding a red apple and chewing on it. In front of her, a large pile of oddly-shaped things almost covered her body. Kabi, on the other hand, looked like he was suffering from constipation.
"You're back!" Alice jumped down from the wooden chair beside the table excitedly and ran to Grim. She raised her head and asked, "How did it go?"
While asking, Alice's big eyes were still blinking at the side.
"Don't you know divination? Can't you see our results? "Grim asked curiously.
"Lady Sanazar was there, and the force field was too strong. I can't see what they're doing with my ability." Alice's little face wrinkled bitterly.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you?" Grim asked impatiently.
"Hehe, although I can't see the specific information, I still have some vague feedback. I just need to know that it's good news for me!" Alice immediately became smug again.
"I'll sell you!" Grim could not help but groan.
"How much? How many magic crystals did they pay for me? Tell me quickly … "Alice suddenly became excited.
Behind her, Kabi stretched out his trembling hands and secretly reached for the pile of 'bets'.
"What do you think?"
Alice tilted her head and thought for a moment. She stretched out three trembling fingers, but halfway through, she suddenly extended five fingers.
"Fifty thousand!"
Grim smiled and shook his head.
"Is it too high or too low?" Alice clasped her palms together, looking nervous.
"It's too low!"
Alice was delighted when she heard that. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "A hundred thousand! It can't be any higher. I know those Northern Witches. They're good at fighting, but when it comes to money, they don't have the brains! "
Her tone was full of disdain.
Grim still shook his head and added, "I've already told Witch Nina that you've become a Witch!"
"It's Nina the witch? She's one of the stronger Deceit Witches! "Alice could not help but mumble," So it's 200,000? "
Still shaking his head.
Alice's breathing became heavier.
She was also from the Northern Lands, and she knew very well what 200,000 magic crystals meant to a Witch family.
It was more than enough to hire a Grade 2 Witch as a bodyguard, let alone an ordinary Witch.
"Three hundred thousand!" Alice almost squeezed the number out of her teeth.
Kabi, who was behind her, stopped stealing and turned to look at Alice, who was only a meter tall. His eyes were filled with sparkling magic crystals.
If 300,000 magic crystals were piled up here, it would probably be enough to drown him! Is this Alice worth that much?
Seeing that Grim was still shaking his head, Alice felt that her heart was about to stop beating.
"Four hundred thousand …" Alice screamed at the top of her lungs.
At this moment, even she wanted to sell herself.
That was 400,000 magic crystals!
However, in the next moment, Grim still shook his head and looked at her with a sorrowful expression. He spat out a shocking number.
"500,000! And I rejected it! "
Alice's breath caught in her throat.
The half-eaten apple in her hand fell to the ground and slowly rolled away.
Behind her, Kabi's mouth was wide open. He pointed at Alice's back, his face full of shock and disbelief.
"Why didn't you sell me? Why didn't you sell me? Why … "Alice's eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.
The Gnome Kabi nodded vigorously, evidently having the same doubts.
Grim laughed bitterly. Looking at Alice's serious expression, he finally said, "Because I think you're worth more!"
With that, Grim returned to his bedroom and locked the door.
It was such a cold and heartless sentence, but for some reason, Alice felt her nose turn sour, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
While sobbing incessantly, Alice turned around and looked at her only 'family', Kaby.
"My dear Kaby, will you sell me for 500,000 magic crystals?"
Kabi's body stiffened. He nodded frantically, and then shook his head vigorously. He was so flustered that he didn't know what to say. Seeing Alice stretch out her hand, Kabi immediately hugged his head and didn't dare to move.
Alice stretched out her small hand and caressed Kabi's head, who was as tall as her. Then, she left with a heavy heart.
What's wrong with everyone today? Why are they so weird?
