"Isn't there still that Grim?"
Just as Alice was lost and hesitating, little Helen's eyes suddenly lit up and she flew up and down excitedly.
"The last time we went to the Flame Monarch, I saw that his strength seemed to be developing quite well. Perhaps … "
Alice thought for a moment, and then shook her head, "They've just discovered a small plane that's not bad. The power inside is quite troublesome, and not any weaker than the Faen Plane of the Ashen Witches. At this time, it'll be difficult for them to take out enough people. Besides, this is an internal matter of the Northern Witches, he's an outsider … "
"Hmph, what outsider …" Little Helen curled her lips in disdain, "The last time he called you over to help him set up the platform, he treated you as if you were his subordinate. Now that you're in trouble, if he dares not help, I'll definitely scold him to death … "
Alice's elegant brows furrowed, and she reprimanded with dissatisfaction, "Helen, I won't allow you to meddle! I was only able to become a Destiny Witch because of his help, so it's necessary for me to help him do some things. This trip to the Faen Plane will be very dangerous, and I don't want his family, which has just begun to take shape, to disappear into thin air. So … "
She had just completed a large-scale divination, and her mental and physical strength had been greatly depleted. Now that she was forcefully arguing with little Helen, Alice felt dizzy and nauseous halfway through her words. Her vision darkened, and she fell to the ground.
This scared little Helen half to death. She waved her little magic wand and cast a levitation spell on Alice, and then used the power of wind to carry her out of the astrological platform.
Grim heard the news a little later.
Hence, he first teleported from the Lance Plane to the Goblin Plane, then from the Goblin Plane to the Flame Monarch, and finally arrived at the Tower of Destiny after much difficulty.
Even with his strength as a rank 2 Magus, he felt a little dizzy by the time he arrived at the Tower of Destiny, and his body was unsteady.
He hurried to Alice's residence, and saw the unconscious Alice lying on her sickbed.
The seven Witches of the Destiny Witch faction, including Sophia the Berserk and Chave the Ice Maiden, were all gathered here, their expressions solemn. Seeing Grim's arrival, their faces were filled with displeasure.
Grimm leaned forward to check on her. Through the A.I. Chip's scan, he found that her vitality was severely depleted. Her spiritual force was extremely weak, and the spectrum that represented her vitality was extremely dim. He could not help but ask in surprise, "What happened to Alice?"
"What else could it be? Of course, it's because I've performed too many divination rituals, and the loss of life energy is too severe. That's why … "Helen, who was the size of a palm, put her hands on her hips and looked angry.
However, before she could finish speaking, Cheff grabbed her and tapped her forehead with her finger. She then said to Grimm coldly, "Since you have seen the Tower Master, please leave now!"
Grim was silent for a moment, then he looked around at the witches in the room.
"Although I'm not a member of the Tower of Destiny, I have an inseparable bond with Alice. So … I hope you won't hide anything from me! "
Cheff was slightly startled, and was momentarily speechless. On the other hand, little Helen teleported away from Cheff's control and appeared in front of Grimm again. She floated close to him and stared at him, asking, "Is what you said true? If Alice is in trouble, are you willing to save her? "
"Of course!" Grimm said resolutely, "Alice's matters are my matters. I will definitely take care of her matters!"
"That's good …"
Little Helen's face lit up with joy. Just as she was about to tell him everything, she was interrupted by a cold voice.
"Helen, you're too impudent!" Alice had woken up at some point, and she forced herself to sit up. She angrily rebuked, "This is a matter between us witches, why did you call him here?"
Grimm looked around at the group, and vaguely understood something.
He simply sat on the edge of the bed and grabbed Alice's fair and slightly thin right hand.
"Alice, don't you know how I feel about you? If you doubt the authenticity of my feelings, you can use that divination spell of yours to test … "
Before he finished speaking, seven bright rays of divination light fell on him at the same time.
"Seventy percent real, thirty percent fake …"
"Fake doesn't seem like a lie …"
"Hmph, it really isn't 100% real …"
"Men are all like this …"
"Forget it, forget it. This is still better than the others …"
"For the time being, I'll believe him this time …"
"He's lucky this time, he passed!"
These guys …
Grimm's body stiffened, and his forehead was immediately filled with black lines.
This Alice in front of him seemed to have a knot in her heart, but with so many 'ducks' surrounding him, even if he wanted to confess, it would be difficult for him to do so.
While Grimm was in a dilemma, Alice, who was blushing, began to chase them away shyly.
Somehow, after the divination spell, when the witches in the room looked at Grimm again, they no longer had the previous estrangement and strangeness. They all laughed and left the room.
When only Grimm, Alice, and the sneaky little Helen were left in the room, Grimm pulled Alice into his arms and leaned his face against her soft, silky white hair, inhaling the faint fragrance of her body.
Although Alice's figure was tall and graceful, her body was obviously too thin and weak. Grimm could clearly feel that she was not plump enough, and when his big hands turned over, he could even feel that it was a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, Alice was like a shy little sheep, lightly pressing her head against Grimm's shoulder. Her body was slightly trembling, and it was difficult for her to organize her words.
Grimm laughed and pulled Alice into his arms, letting her cry out softly. Only then did he raise his head to look at little Helen with a smile.
"Alright, I've settled your mistress! Now, you can tell me everything from beginning to end … "
"Oh my … Bad man, stinky man … You really want to do bad things wherever you go …"
Little Helen covered her eyes with her hands and flew around the two like a headless fly. When she saw that Grimm did not make any further moves, she carefully whispered into his ear and told him everything about Alice's advancement and the Faern Plane.
"You can already advance?" Grimm was happy at first, but then he could not help but complain, "Alice, what's wrong with you this time? That's not like you at all! There's no point in hiding anything. You should've told us earlier, and then we could've discussed it together. We would've come up with a solution … "
Alice separated her two small hands and desperately grabbed Grimm's big hands, who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do bad things. She said shyly, "I'm not worried that you've just brought people into the Lance Plane, and we haven't figured out anything yet. If you rashly withdraw your troops, it will easily cause all your previous efforts to go to waste! Besides, this operation is an internal matter of the Northern Witches, and outsiders are not allowed to take part … "
Grimm smiled, "I'm not an outsider. I'm your lover! No one can object if I use this name to participate, right? "
Although the Northern Witches' territory was dominated by witches, there were still wizards in every faction. However, these wizards had an awkward position in the Northern Witches' factions. They were either XXX's lovers or XXX's subordinates. Almost all the wizards were on the fringes of the power system.
Grimm was now a Tier 2 Wizard and the patriarch of the newly established Crimson Family, so he and his subordinates had to lower their status to the Witches and participate in this foreign plane expedition as vassals of the Witches. Although this was reasonable, it was too shameful for Grimm.
However, Grimm really did not care about this.
He was a typical pragmatist who put profit above everything else. He was not as strict about his reputation as some of the chauvinistic wizards. That was why he accepted this condition without any difficulty.
However, shamelessness in a foreign plane expedition was not enough. They also needed to be strong enough to protect themselves and fight. That was why selecting the members to participate in the expedition became the most important thing.
The Tower of Destiny would definitely send all its members. Including Alice, there were only eight Witches, and they were all Grade 1.
As for Grimm's side, the members that could be selected were Grimm (Grade 2 Fire Wizard), Mary (Grade 2 Vampire), Zachary (Grade 2 Lightning Dragon Person), Goblin Ripper (Grade 2 Magic Machine, controlled by Grade 1 Tigule), Dracela (Grade 1 Wind Wizard), Bliss (Grade 1 Insect Wizard), Endor (Grade 1 Poison Woman), Dana (Grade 1 Medusa), Anguja (Grade 1 Three-Headed Hound), the three Blood Knights (Pseudo Grade 2 Vampires), Venlier (Grade 1 Vampire) …
Gargamel and the forest demon Ava were responsible for protecting the Blazing Flame Monarch, with Charon's help.
The Goblin Plane was left to Meryl.
As for the Lance Plane, they could only rely on the Grade 3 brain monster, Gaz 'ruvi, and the powerful metal fortress to defend their territory.
Suddenly running into a foreign plane, they were most afraid of being surrounded by the native tribes and fighting a war of attrition.
In that case, even an extremely powerful Magus could be tortured to death by a group of natives who were like ants. That was why after selecting a batch of strong generals, Grimm began to work hard to assemble an elite army.
As for the cannon fodder, apart from allocating a hundred Combat Magic Machines, Grimm also planned to expand his Elemental Puppet Army.
These days, most of the battles were carried out with an endless supply of Combat Magic Machines. However, without Gaz 'ruvi and the metal fortress, he would have to think of a way to obtain an endless supply of cannon fodder.
