It was deep into the night.
However, Grimm was still awake. He had even postponed his usual four-hour meditation routine.
In front of him was a list of wizards who would soon appear in Gilnis City.
The list was not long; there were only five names, but three of them belonged to the Anu family.
This was already a terrifying number!
Even in Ferdenan City, where the Salubo family's headquarters were located, there were usually only two or three wizards stationed there. For the Anu family to send three Magi to the vicinity of Gilnis City for such a small matter … No matter how one looked at it, they didn't seem to have good intentions!
After losing the Inferno Tyrant, Grimm's strength was only equivalent to that of a veteran wizard. Once he completed the Balrog transformation, his strength would jump to the level of an elite wizard. If he wanted to quickly finish off his opponent, he had to unseal the Balrog's heart and complete the second transformation. This way, he would have the strength of a peak elite wizard for 15 minutes.
With this strength, as long as he did not provoke an overly powerful opponent, Grimm could easily deal with opponents of the same rank. If he released a wizard-level magic puppet, he would have a greater chance of winning.
However, this was only for wizards below elite rank. If he really encountered an elite wizard and could not finish the battle within 15 minutes, Grimm would be in a very dangerous situation. If those Wizards had come prepared and prepared some fire-resistant magic tools and items, Grimm's combat power would be halved.
To solve this problem, Grimm had to quickly convert the dragon crystal into battle strength. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to deal with so many challenges in this mission.
Ramil, female, Anu family, psychic wizard, expert in controlling other people's minds with witchcraft …
Simon, male, from the Anu family, a Physique Refinement Wizard with unparalleled berserk strength and an indestructible physique …
Flender, male, Anu family, elemental wizard (water), expert in water spells, powerful and powerful. It was said that his' waterspout 'had a terrifying record of heavily injuring three wizards in one move …
Yinong, male, Send family, bloodline wizard (shapeshifting), able to transform into a void bat, a void creature that had transcended the material plane …
Barok, male, Morrison family, elemental wizard (plant), expert in plant catalysis and magical plant modification …
…
For some unknown reason, the five wizards all appeared near Gilnis City. The three from the Anu family were obviously coming for him, but the other two were a little unclear.
Either there was something he needed to do nearby, or he was …
There were too many possibilities that gave Grim a headache.
According to Lamir, the Anu Family planned to capture one or two people from the Sarubo Family and exchange them for Sark, who was hiding in Ferdinand City. That was why Ramiel was the only one who was sent here. His target was the two Head Apprentices.
However, ever since Grim's arrival, the Anu family felt that the two Quasi Sorcerers were not powerful enough, so they turned their attention to him.
Originally, his family planned to send two more wizards to capture Grim together with Lamir. However, Wizard Lamir was obviously overconfident in his own strength. He couldn't help but make the first move.
And the result … was naturally nothing.
In order to find out how Grimm got rid of her telepathic suggestion, Wizard Lamir made a deal with Grimm in private and told him the names of the two wizards in an equivalent exchange.
Of course, Grim could not reveal the secret of the A.I. Chip. Instead, he blamed it all on his innate ability. Although Lamir was not satisfied with this answer, he did not pursue the matter any further.
Grim even had a feeling that even if he did not do anything, Lamir would find an excuse to hand over the information of the two Sorcerers.
Looking at the information, Grim felt a headache coming on!
An elite water-type Sorcerer … No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he was specially sent here to deal with him. With the help of a body-refining Sorcerer who could both fight and resist, and a psychic Sorcerer whose thoughts were hard to discern, he had no other choice but to flee.
Killing him was definitely not something he could do.
After all, the overall strength of the Sarubo Family was above that of the Anu Family. If they angered a great Grade 6 Sorcerer, the Anu family's patriarch would have to hide in the Magus World for the rest of his life. Hence, they did not dare to kill him.
The reason why they had sent three Sorcerers at the same time was because they wanted to capture Grim and use him as a bargaining chip for the family. If Grim was defeated and captured by the Anu Family, even if he was traded back by the Sarubo Family, his reputation would be greatly affected.
Perhaps this was Lord Sanazar's way of beating Grim down!
After thinking about this, Grim helplessly realised that what he lacked the most was strength. In order to break out of this situation, he had no other choice but to rely on strength that far surpassed what others could imagine.
It was no wonder that Lamir had thrown out the information without any hesitation. With the combination of an elite Sorcerer and two veteran Sorcerers, taking down Grim would be a piece of cake. She was not worried that Grim would be able to fly into the sky.
Perhaps this conflict was a secret, and she was one of the people who knew about it!
For the next few days, Grim simply locked himself in the stone tower and refused to come out.
He had temporarily suspended his other research projects and used all of the A.I. Chip's processing time to design, construct, and optimise the prototype of the rank 2 Dragon Crystal Magic Puppet.
The A.I. Chip estimated that it would take 9 days to complete...
The A.I. Chip worked overtime day and night to construct the data model and optimise it, while Grim searched everywhere for the necessary magic ingredients. As the grade of the magic puppet's crystal core increased, normal magic materials could no longer keep up with the high intensity and high output of elemental energy.
Therefore, in order to create this Wind Dragon Magic Puppet that Grimm had high hopes for, he began to use his authority as a guardian wizard to transfer all the resources and materials he might need from the resource point and the mine's warehouse to the stone tower.
Bliss and Sabrina were also ordered around by him, temporarily turning into two acolytes who were busy handling the magic materials for him every day.
Although these actions were against the rules, no one dared to point fingers at him at this moment.
However, just as Grim was silently preparing for all of this, the two Magi from the Anu Family arrived.
Grim did not see them, and Viscount Salva did not send him any relevant information. However, he knew that they were already here.
From the fourth day onwards, the surroundings of Gilnis City had never been peaceful again.
The first incident was at the Iron Ring Mining Pit.
Suddenly, it became haunted.
In a single night, the number of miners at the mining pit decreased by 20.
There was a small town near the mining pit, and most of the families there had someone working in the mine. During the day, they mined in the mine and returned to the town to rest at night. Their days passed peacefully.
However, on the fourth night of Grim's arrival in Gilnis City, 20 miners suddenly disappeared from the town. They had all disappeared inexplicably while resting in their own homes, and the family members who lived with them had no idea where they had gone. All they knew was that they had disappeared after a night's sleep!
Just as everyone was discussing this, another 20 miners disappeared from their homes on the second night.
This time, the acolytes in charge of the mining pit could no longer sit still. They sent people to the homes of the missing miners, but they could not find any traces of magic.
Hence, the helpless Quasi Magus Yuri could only run to the Limestone Tower to ask for Grim's opinion.
"My Lord, how do you think we should deal with this situation?"
"Deal with it the same way you usually deal with it!" Grim replied slowly as he held a sheepskin scroll in his hand.
"But …" Yuri could not help but hesitate.
At this moment, he really hoped that Grim could come to the mining pit to take charge. With a wizard there, the enemies in the dark would not be so arrogant.
Judging from the enemy's methods, the possibility of it being an acolyte had been ruled out. This … This also meant that the one spying on the mine was most likely an official wizard from the Anu Family.
Quasi Wizard Yuri's heart trembled at the thought of a powerful wizard hiding in the dark, planning to deal with the mine!
"Let's go back!" Grim was still calm. "They only killed some miners. Go back and pay them some gold coins to calm them down. I'll take care of the rest! "
Since Grim had spoken so bluntly, Yuri could only bow and leave even though he was unwilling.
To be honest, if not for his duty, this Quasi Magus Yuri would have moved to the Limestone Tower. He did not want to go back to the mining pit at all.
However, under Grim's pressure, Yuri clenched his teeth and rushed back to the mining pit.
After Yuri left, Grim raised his head and looked at the scene outside the tower with a cold smile, "Trying to trick me into going out? Hmph, if you have the guts, come and destroy my tower! I'd like to see who will be the first to give up … "
Since the enemy had even used the trick of luring the snake out of its hole, they must have the confidence to take down Grim in one bite. That was why he speculated that the two wizard companions Lamir mentioned had already arrived, and they were waiting to catch him in one fell swoop.
"Go on, go on …" Grim murmured, "My Wind Dragon is not ready yet. Even if you break the sky, don't try to trick me out. Hmph … "
Therefore, in the next three to four days, the Sarubo Family's resource points near Gilnis City were attacked one after another. Either the storeroom suddenly burst into flames, or the magic potions planted in the resource point suddenly withered, or some people suddenly disappeared …
In the beginning, most of the people who disappeared were just ordinary people. Later on, even some apprentices of the family inexplicably disappeared.
The entire city of Gilnis was in a state of panic. Some smart nobles and merchants had already escaped from this terrible whirlpool.
