Bluestone Tower.
Wizard Grimm had been gone for more than 10 hours, and everyone in the tower was in a state of panic.
Although the wind dragon that Grimm had summoned had boosted the confidence of every wizard follower, the fact that he had yet to return caused all sorts of rumors to spread.
"Wizard Grimm must have run away …" A chubby senior acolyte yelled, "He abandoned us here and ran away by himself. If the Anu family's wizards come, we'll all be dead … "
"Yes, yes … Since the Lord Wizard still hasn't returned, he must have gone back to his family …"
"Then what should we do?"
"Let's run! I don't want to be cannon fodder here … "
Someone was yelling, and the rest of the acolytes began to waver.
Even Yuri was squeezed into the crowd. His eyes flashed as if he couldn't make up his mind.
Although they had no choice but to abandon the resource point and the mine, it was still hard to predict how the family would deal with them. In a situation like this, it was easy for people to let their imagination run wild, and it was easy for them to do unimaginable things.
"What are you doing?" At this critical moment, the first one to step up was still the junior acolyte Bliss, "Lord Grimm has already gone out to deal with the Anu family's wizards. I believe in Lord Grimm. He will definitely bring us victory. At this time, you're still thinking about running away? Are you still human? "
"Yes … We're not human!" The chubby senior acolyte spoke again. He waved his fist and walked in front of Bliss. If it wasn't for Sabrina standing in front of him, he might have already started a fight, "It's been so long, and your Lord Grimm still hasn't returned. What proof do you have that Wizard Grimm didn't run away? What proof do you have that he can defeat those sorcerers with ill intentions? Maybe he has already been defeated, and is … "
"What is he doing?"
A low roar came from outside the tower.
As the wind howled, the wind dragon's huge body suddenly fell from the sky. Then, it spat out two terrifying human figures from its mouth. Grimm's huge body steadily walked down from the wind dragon's back, and behind him were four figures that were staggering.
They were his acolytes!
"Take the four of them down for treatment. Pay special attention to Hill, his injuries are more serious! " Sabrina bowed and accepted the order. She strode forward and extended a few silver-white metal tentacles from all over her body to gently support them.
Bliss, who had been arguing until his ears were red, saw Grimm. His eyes lit up and he hurried forward, "Lord Grimm, they just …"
Grim raised his hand and interrupted him. "Go help Sabrina. I'll take care of things here!"
After saying that, he walked towards the fat apprentice step by step with the help of his staff. He lowered his head and said, "Were you the one who confused people's minds just now? You said that I've already lost. What am I doing now? "
Kekeke …
The sound of teeth chattering could be heard clearly.
The pig-like acolyte's legs went soft, and he crawled on the ground. His whole body trembled like a sieve, and his teeth chattered like a machine gun. He couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
Dong.
There was a dull sound.
The spell formation in Grim's hand paused slightly on the ground, and a nameless flame ignited on the fat acolyte's left hand. Immediately, the acolyte screamed like a pig being butchered!
"You … You … You …" Grim's eyes darted around, and he immediately pointed at a few people. "Go and invite the two Anu family wizards in."
Wizards? Captives?
Only then did the acolytes realize that the two humanoid creatures that were spat out by the Wind Dragon were actually Magi. However, at this moment, one of the two Magi, who were usually high and mighty, was charred black like charcoal. His body was still emitting a thick charred smell and black smoke. Although the other one was unscathed, his robe, staff, talisman, and ring were all gone. Instead, his shoulders, hands, and feet were all marked with strange flame runes.
These flame runes seemed to have the function of sealing wizard power and shackling the body. Once the wizard's body twisted or the wizard power in his body moved, the runes would emit a flame, burning his hands and feet, making a sizzling sound. It was so painful that he broke out in cold sweat.
"Yuri, take a few people to the resource point and bring the trapped acolytes back," Grim ordered.
After Yuri and the others left, Grim looked down at the fat acolyte who had already passed out from the pain. His left hand had already turned into a lump of charcoal, and the slightest touch would cause it to shatter into pieces.
"Take him away!" Grim yelled in a low voice. "Send him back to the family tomorrow. I don't want to see him again! Hmph … "
At this moment, Flender had already been escorted by a few acolytes to Grim's side. He yelled with a ferocious expression, "I've already handed over everything I have. You can't torture us anymore. You must give us the treatment we deserve."
"There will definitely be treatment, but you must use magic crystals to exchange for it. Your comrade is so badly injured. I'm afraid the cost of treatment alone will be very high. Do you want me to pay for this as well? " Grim snorted in disdain, "You can stay in the stone tower without worry. I'll provide the basic protection of a wizard. But if your family doesn't provide a reasonable compensation in ten days, hmph, I'll have to give you a good explanation for destroying our mine and resource point … "
Flender let out a long sigh and finally lowered his head helplessly.
Ten days? Who knew how the higher-ups of the family would react? If … If both sides really couldn't come to an agreement …
Flender looked at the pitiful Richard beside him, who was as black as charcoal, and let out another deep sigh.
… …
The result of the battle at the resource point had already reached the hands of both families before midnight.
Hearing this unbelievable news, a storm broke out in both families.
Ferde South City, Wizard Tower.
Hearing the news, Sanazar, who had rushed back to the Wizard's Pagoda's residence from her private territory, sat on her chair without saying a word. Her body was covered in a purple mist as she quietly listened to Wizard Forgan's detailed report. Wizard Cogan, who had always been nurtured by his family, also sat quietly at the side with his eyes lowered.
Since there were more than 10 wizard apprentices who witnessed the battle at the resource point, Wizard Forgan's description was as detailed as he could be. Almost every detail of the battle was clearly analyzed. Especially the wind dragon that appeared out of nowhere, Wizard Forgan directly evaluated it as a top-level elite wizard.
Just this wind dragon alone was enough to put Grim on the level of a tier-1 elite wizard. His strength still had a lot of room for growth. Once he tempered his body, his basic attributes would explode, and his strength would have a lot more room to grow …
This was the embryonic form of a powerful Magus!
The appearance of such a powerful Sorcerer in their family was a good thing, not a bad thing. But … everyone present knew that the resources that Grim had obtained from his family could not even compare to Kou Gen's!
A wizard who was not a core member of the family suddenly showed such great potential. While they were happy, they were also worried.
If such a fellow was allowed to grow up in the family, who among the Magi of the same rank as him would be a match for him? This guy was like a natural magnet. He would definitely attract a lot of followers in the family. If he decided to leave the family in the future, the Sarubo family would no doubt split up!
"Master, do you think we should continue to suppress this Grim?" Wizard Forgan couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Wizard Cogan's body slightly trembled, but he did not say anything.
After all, everyone in the room was a high-ranking wizard in the family. A tier-1 wizard like him could only listen to their orders. He did not have the strength to stand among them.
Of course, his actions had attracted the attention of Wizard Sanazar, who was sitting at the head of the table.
"What, Cogan, do you have a different opinion on this?"
Wizard Sanazar had been busy increasing his strength recently. He had long lost his patience with the trivial matters of the family. If it was not for the fact that what happened today was too unbelievable, Wizard Forgan's request for an audience would not have been able to summon her back from her private domain.
"Masters, from now on, our suppression of Grim is no longer appropriate." Wizard Cogan hesitated for a moment and finally decided to voice his opinion.
"Can't you see what that Grim is thinking?" Wizard Forgan snorted, "He chose to build his Wizard's Pagoda in the Black Forest far away from the family, and after he settled down, he did not choose to work with the family. Instead, he chose to work with the scattered Tower Forest Wizard Association. What is he trying to do? "
"He is preparing for the future!" Wizard Cogan said straightforwardly.
"Hmph, if you know, why are you still speaking up for him? Do you know how much danger he will bring to the family if we let him go? "Wizard Forgan's tone became more and more serious.
"So, Master, are you planning to force him away?"
"Force him away? Where can he go? He signed a 100 year contract with the head of the family! "
"He is not as isolated as you think. If we force him too hard, he … "Wizard Cogan's voice became lower and lower. He could not help but look at the purple mist around Mr. Sanazar.
"You mean he will choose to rely on Alice?" Sanazar's voice suddenly emerged from the purple mist.
"I don't know what kind of relationship he has with Alice, but I can see it clearly. Alice must be a chess piece that Grim set up in advance. Once the family can no longer accommodate him, as long as he lowers his head, it is not unimaginable that he will obtain the protection of the Destiny Witches … And at that time, will the family tear up the good relationship that they have just established with the Destiny Witches for the sake of a Tier 1 Wizard? "
The purple mist suddenly became silent.
Wizard Forgan also frowned. This was the first time he had started to think about this problem.
"That Mary will be back soon!" After a long time, Sanazar, who was in the purple mist, suddenly said.
"Wizard Mary? The vampire who is on good terms with Grim? Isn't the knight plane not completely stabilized yet? Why did they send her back now? "Wizard Cogan was shocked and couldn't help but blurt out. After he asked, he realized he was being rude, so he hurriedly bowed and stepped back.
Sanazar seemed to not notice Cogan's rudeness and simply explained.
"That Mary is not a peaceful person. She got into trouble in the knight plane and killed Entich. This time, she was sent back, and the family is still discussing her punishment! "
"How could this be?" Wizard Cogan's eyes began to sparkle.
Why was this guy who had been in contact with Grim so hard to deal with? Did that Wizard Mary want to die?
