"Arbitration?"
Grimm had just arrived at the Blazing Flame Monarch when he heard this shocking news.
"Yes!" Gargamel replied respectfully, "The news came from the scattered Tarot Union. It's said that the head of the Camara Family has already applied for arbitration, requesting a duel to resolve the conflict between the two families. Those old fellows in the union have already agreed. "
"When the five allied forces attacked the Blazing Flame Monarch, why didn't those old fellows come out to arbitrate? Now they want to arbitrate …" Grimm's thick brows furrowed, a solemn expression appearing on his young and handsome face.
Although Grimm did not speak harshly, the dignified air he exuded still caused Gargamel's heart to tremble, and he couldn't help but tilt his body even more.
"What did they say?" Grimm asked indifferently.
"The Camara Family seems to have invited the elders of the union to exert pressure on us. Two of them have already informed us to stop our attacks in the Camara Family's territory. The arbitration elder has already arrived at Rayon City, and has asked the heads of both families to go there on the 9th of June to accept the arbitration. "
9th of June?
Today was already the 9th of June, which meant that he only had five days to prepare. Moreover, Rayon City was over two thousand kilometres away from the Blazing Flame Monarch. If he had not returned from the Johnson Plane in time, his family might not have been able to find someone who could represent him in this arbitration.
Grimm laughed coldly.
It seemed that the other party already knew that he was not in the Magus World, which was why they had suddenly implemented this plan. If Grimm was absent from the arbitration, they would probably use even more despicable methods to squeeze the Crimson Family's profits from the battlefield.
"How is the battle at the frontlines?" Grimm could not help but ask.
The other party had a powerful Grade 3 Magus in their family. How could he throw away his pride and apply for an arbitration against a Grade 2 Insect Shaman, Bliss? Could something have happened on the battlefield?
The sensitive Grimm immediately thought of Bliss.
At the mention of the Insect Shaman, even Gargamel, who was overseeing the rear, immediately gave him a thumbs up.
"Patriarch, this Lord Bliss is truly incredible! You don't know this … In the days that you were gone, this Lord Bliss has caused great harm to the Camara family … It is said that … "Gargamel swallowed a mouthful of saliva and licked his chapped lips, his face full of shock." Lord Bliss has visited all of the Camara family's resource points and secular territories, implanting a type of puppet worm in all of the acolytes and official Magi. "
"Puppet Worm?"
"I don't know what it's called exactly. I only heard about it from the family's intelligence. In short, the Camara Family suddenly lost contact with all the resource points. They sent people in to check … All the Magi and acolytes were dead, turned into a worm nest by Lord Blitz. It's said that the way they died was horrible … very horrible … "
"What about Kamala's Grade 3?"
"The Grade 3 Magus of the Camara Family, Yurga, did come out to stop Lord Bliss a few times, but Lord Insect Shaman transformed into thousands of forms and was evaded every time. That's why Yurga was forced to apply for arbitration … If he had been any slower, I'm afraid that Lord Bliss would have invaded their headquarters! " It was obvious that Insect Shaman Bliss's performance in this family war had not only intimidated the members of the enemy families, but even Gargamel, the Crimson Chief Eunuch, was starting to feel uneasy.
Grimm furrowed his brows and pondered for a while before finally speaking.
"Think of a way to inform Bliss to stop the attack on the Camara Family! Since the other party has invited a Grade 4 Magus, if we act too excessively, we will incur the wrath of those old fellows. The current Crimson Family cannot afford to provoke those Grade 4 Magi! "
"Yes! I will contact Lord Bliss now … "
With that, Gargamel hurriedly left.
Mary, who had been listening by the side, chuckled. "I didn't think that the little worm that trembles at the sight of me would become such a big shot. He has so many worms under his command that he wouldn't feel the pinch even if tens of thousands of them died. Any other family would have a huge headache if such a monster invaded their territory … Hehe, I actually pity that Magus Yurga! "
Grimm could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Once a fellow like Insect Shaman Bliss was allowed to develop, it would be very difficult to suppress him. As a Grade 2 Magus, his individual combat strength was not strong, and he did not even have many offensive spells. Defeating such a person was easy, but killing him was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
If he encountered someone stronger than him, as long as he was willing to sacrifice the rook to protect the general, he could easily escape. However, if he encountered someone weaker than him, his army of Insect Generals and endless swarm of worms would be his trump card.
When the enemy did not have any methods to restrain him, the Insect Shaman Bliss was practically invincible!
At the very least, that was the case among Grade 2 Magi.
If Grimm had not left a special mark on the Insect Queen he had fused with, even he would not have dared to say that he could suppress such a powerful Grade 2 Magus.
Fortunately, Grimm still had a way to restrain Bliss, or else this Insect Shaman would definitely escape to a faraway place and live a carefree life.
At this moment, Grimm had the intention to pass a message to Bliss through Gargamel, wanting to see how he would react to his orders. If the other party refused to obey, Grimm would have to consider suppressing the Insect Shaman Bliss!
"Let me go! Gargamel is only Grade 1, and Bliss might not follow his orders. " Mary chuckled, "That little worm used to be quite afraid of me. I'll bring him back from the battlefield …"
The Crimson Family was currently lacking top-tier combat power, and Mary obviously did not want some 'small problems' to ignite the deep-seated conflict within the family. That was why she volunteered to 'summon' the Insect Shaman Bliss.
Grim smiled at Mary and nodded slightly. Apparently, he understood Mary's intention.
Mary smiled sweetly and stood up from her chair, leisurely swaying her slender waist as she walked out while loudly ordering, "Go, call Soros, Winsol, and the others over … I want to see them in less than a quarter of an hour!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The few Vampires standing behind her hurriedly bowed in acknowledgment, and a cloud of bloody mist exploded before disappearing on the spot.
Although this trip to the Johnson Plane was short, Mary had gained a lot.
In fact, the one who ate the most during the battle in the Johnson Plane was the Blood Queen Mary!
All the Rank 3 Beastmen Armes and Grimm had taken down had become her delectable food. If it wasn't for the fact that her Spiritual Energy wasn't strong enough to awaken a Grade 3 powerhouse, she would have one or two more Grade 3 Vampires under her command.
Even so, Mary's strength had increased by leaps and bounds. To a certain extent, her battle prowess was not any weaker than Grimm's.
Of course, this was referring to Grimm before he obtained the Flame Set Equipment Set.
… …
Rayen City.
This was a beautiful city by the Crystal Lake.
The bright sun in June was the time when its power was not revealed. The golden sunlight shone on the rippling blue lake, giving off a warm and genial feeling.
Grimm, Mary, and Bliss were each riding a Manticore, flying close to the surface of the lake. This attracted the attention of many nobles on the lake.
"Father, father, when I grow up, I want to fly in the sky like the Magi …" A noble boy of about seven or eight years old looked at the ferocious Manticore flying over his head with envy. When he saw the blurry figure of a Magus sitting cross-legged on it, he could not contain his excitement.
The noble boy's father, a middle-aged man, had a bitter smile on his face.
"Child, that requires talent. Not everyone can become a Magus!"
"Talent? What kind of talent? "The boy asked, not fully understanding.
"A talent to become a Magus!" The noble man stroked the boy's soft, light blonde, curly hair, and laughed bitterly, "Without this talent, no matter how smart you are, no matter how hard you work … it's useless!"
After saying this, a deep sigh drifted over the beautiful lake.
Grimm and the others did not notice or care about the little interlude that was happening below them.
In just two days, they had hurried from the Blazing Flame Monarch to Rayen City.
The Three-headed Chimera flapped its wide, leather-like wings and flew high into the sky. It flipped over a tall city wall, streaked past rows of exquisite and beautiful buildings, and quickly flew toward the Wizard's Pagoda that pierced through the clouds.
This was a large Wizard Pagoda with fifteen floors. There was a large landing platform at the top of the pagoda, where many Magi were descending on flying magical beasts.
The three-headed Manticore that was carrying Grimm and the other two raised its neck and let out a sharp roar. It suddenly accelerated and landed on a wooden platform that had been temporarily built. When the Manticore landed, it flapped its wings madly, stirring up a gust of wind that almost blew away the Magus Acolytes who were waiting there. The young acolyte hugged a wooden pillar and endured the gust of wind, then jogged over to the group.
"We'll be staying here for a few days. Remember to take good care of these Manticores …" Grimm gave a few simple instructions, then threw out a bag of Magical Crystals and walked towards the entrance of the platform without looking back.
The young acolyte hurriedly caught the Magical Crystals, nodding and bowing as he agreed.
When he inadvertently raised his head and met the eyes of the black-robed person at the back, his mind suddenly trembled, and he almost dropped the Magical Crystals in his hand.
What a terrifying gaze …
The young acolyte only regained his composure after the three unfamiliar Magi disappeared from the entrance of the Wizard's Pagoda.
Black robe, green eyes …
Could he be the … Lord Insect Sorcerer who had been stirring up trouble in the Kamala Family recently?
