South Felder City, Wizard Tower.
Meryl left Wizard Forgan's lab with a face full of anger.
Today was the start of class, so groups of wizard followers rushed to the Wizard Hall with their books in their arms. When they saw Wizard Meryl, who had always been kind to others, they quickly hid in the corridor and bowed to her.
If it was in the past, Meryl would definitely respond with a gentle smile. But today, she was in a bad mood. She could no longer maintain the smile on her face, so she angrily rushed back to her residence.
Wizard Meryl's strange behavior had obviously attracted the attention of many wizard apprentices. After she rushed past them, they all gathered together and started gossiping.
Of course, most of the wizard followers knew nothing about the outside world, but there were always some smart ones among them. Although they did not see it with their own eyes, nor did they hear any definite news, they could always guess the whole thing with just a few clues.
Listening to them swear solemnly and speak with certainty about some groundless things, one could not help but admire them. Sometimes, conspirators really did not care about big or small, strong or weak. When it came to scheming, they always had the same trick!
Just as they were discussing, Wizard Cogan, who was responsible for today's class, appeared at the end of the corridor.
"It's almost time. What are you guys still gathering here for? Hurry up and go to class … "
Under Wizard Cogan's stern scolding, the group of wizard followers immediately scattered like birds and beasts, bowing and leaving.
After all the apprentices had left, Wizard Cogan suddenly sighed and slowly walked towards the Wizard Hall.
As a core wizard of the family, he might not be the strongest among the official wizards, but he had enough loyalty to the Salubo family. Of course, he knew about the waves between the family and Grimm, but there was nothing he could do to change it.
Cogan had the most contact with Grimm, so he had a lot of respect for Grimm's planning and fighting ability. The other two wizards who had leveled up at the same time as Grimm, Bloody Witch Mary and Evil Bug Entich, were also very talented. If they were not in the strange plane battlefield, their reputation in the family would not be any weaker than Grimm's.
If the Salubo Family could completely control these three newly advanced Sorcerers, the family's strong expansion in the Sorcerer Continent could be expected. On this basis, if Lord Sanazar could reach Grade 4 within a hundred years, the Salubo Family might even become one of the few large families in the central continent.
At that time, the Salubo Family would be able to occupy a fixed seat in the scattered Tower Forest Wizard Association, and they would no longer have to listen to others' orders.
However, a powerful Magus was bound to have great ambitions!
From all the signs, it could be seen that Wizard Grim was not willing to be bound to the Sarubo family. Although he had signed a hundred-year contract with Sarubo, his actions were clearly paving the way for him to fight alone in the future.
This … would undoubtedly incite dissatisfaction and suppression from the upper echelons of the clan.
Every day, he would receive a lot of information about what was happening in Gilnis City, so he was well aware of the situation there. That place was simply a nightmare swamp that could swallow any genius. Moreover, it was formed under the intentional or unintentional influence of the higher-ups of the family.
Regardless of whether Grim was involved or not, what awaited him was probably a series of suppression arranged by the upper echelons of the family.
If he was captured by the Anu Family, the family would definitely use this as an excuse to 'redeem' him in a public exchange. This way, the powerful image that Grim had been building up would suddenly collapse.
This should be enough to extinguish his ambition to go out and fight alone!
Even if he was not involved, the situation in Gilnis City had completely fallen, and he would not be able to escape the suspicion and sanctions of the family. The title of 'fearing the enemy and cowering from battle' was enough to suppress him for decades to come.
No one would be willing to abandon a powerful fighter like Grim, but they could not let him do as he pleased either. Therefore, it was necessary to suppress him. However, the intensity of the suppression had to be just right. Otherwise, it would be easy for the other party to complain.
Even if Corgan wasn't there, he could still guess why Meryl had gone to find Wizard Forgan. From Meryl's reaction, Corgan could tell what Wizard Forgan's answer was. However, he clearly did not agree with Wizard Forgan's rough handling of the situation.
Since Meryl was worried about her teacher and wanted to volunteer to go to Gilnis City to help, why not just agree to her request and even let her bring a few apprentices with her? This would also ease the suspicion of the family refusing to help!
As a new wizard, Meryl did not have much battle experience. Not only would she not be able to help Grim, she would even drag him down. Why wouldn't he do such a good thing?
Unfortunately, Wizard Forgan was too old and rigid. He only knew how to follow Mr. Sanazar's orders, but he did not know how to be flexible. This way, wouldn't Grim and his people believe that the family was purposely targeting them?
Even if they succeeded in suppressing Grim in the future, would they willingly give up on their ambitions?
Most likely, they would just hide their hatred in their hearts!
Cough …
While thinking, Wizard Corgan shook his head and walked away.
… …
Gilnis City.
If the faraway Ferdinand City was surging with undercurrents, then the current Gilnis City was already in an abyss of suffering!
The apprentices guarding the Iron Ring Mining Field and the level-2 resource point had all escaped back to the bluestone tower with injuries. However, Grim's 4 apprentices were not among them. As for the 2 head apprentices, only Yuri came back. Head Apprentice Moses, who was responsible for guarding the resource point, had also disappeared with the fall of the resource point.
Following the apprentices back to the stone tower was a small box. Inside the box was a bloody severed human hand. After the apprentices identified it, it should be one of Grim's apprentices.
Although he didn't have any deep feelings for these disciples, even if they were all killed, he wouldn't shed a single tear. However, this kind of blatant slap in the face deeply provoked him.
Even in this situation, Grim did not mention anything about revenge after he met and comforted the apprentices. Instead, he went back to the 2nd floor of the stone tower alone.
Looking at Grim's back as he walked away, the injured apprentices who were lying on the ground floor could not help but complain. Some of the more hot-tempered ones could not help but whisper, "Fire demon … Fire demon … Heh …"
Sabrina, who was tending to their wounds, looked calm as if she did not feel anything. However, the young Bliss could not stand it. He angrily explained, "Sir has his own difficulties. This is obviously a scheme by the other party. What's the point of complaining like this?"
"Conspiracy? What conspiracy? From the beginning to the end, there was only a water wizard who tortured us. We did not see any other wizards. " Yuri, the only one here who had the right to lecture Bliss, continued, "The enemy only sent one wizard. If Sir Grim was willing to stand up for us, he would not have let him take over the mine and the resource point …"
"You …"
"You what …" A few apprentices with broken limbs would have to spend a lot of magic crystals, so they all spoke in an unfriendly tone, "When we were fighting the enemy, why were you hiding in the back?"
"Yeah! Since he's so stubborn, just send him to the resource point … "
"You don't dare to fight the enemy, but you're blaming us, hmph …"
Bliss' face turned red as he faced the gossip of the apprentices. He could only try to defend his idol, "Sir Grim is not the kind of person you think he is. He will definitely come up with a plan … Just wait a little longer …"
"Wait, wait … Now that the mine and the resource point have been lost, what are we waiting for?"
Sabrina gently put down the healing potion in her hand and stood up. Her scarlet mechanical eyes scanned the room coldly until all the apprentices shut their mouths in embarrassment. Then, she turned around and dragged Blitz out of the hall.
"Sabrina, do you believe what they said? Do you think Sir Grim is the kind of person who is afraid to fight? " Bliss was still angry and could not help but question her in a soft voice.
Sabrina did not turn around. She let go of Bliss and walked towards the spiral staircase.
Before she reached the top of the stone staircase, she stopped and said, "They are wizards!" Then she walked away without looking back.
"Wizards? So what if they are? "Bliss was still confused," Do wizards think differently from us? "
Unfortunately, no one could answer his question.
… …
Of course, the commotion downstairs could not escape Grim's spiritual senses.
He could ignore the resentment and resentment of the apprentices, but he could not ignore them!
The Anu family's Magi had gone too far. In order to force him out, they were even willing to take the resource point by force. Although both families had a grudge against each other, they had not declared war yet. The other party had taken the resource point without permission, which was a huge taboo in the central continent!
If the Sarubo family was willing to bring the Magus Association of the scattered Tallinn Forest to judge the situation, the Anu family would definitely have to pay the price. However, by doing so, the Sarubo family had announced to the entire scattered Tallinn Forest that they were weak. They could not even repel the enemy's attack, and needed help from the outside world.
This was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Sarubo family's reputation!
The other party's reckless actions had forced Grim into a corner, which made him hate them even more.
"A.I. Chip, how much longer will the data model take?" This time, Grim's tone carried a hint of coldness.
