Chapter 0397 Contract

With the holographic perspective of the chip, Grimm could vaguely sense the abnormality in the belly of the forest demon.

In the battle just now, the forest demon was indeed cowardly and afraid of fighting.

Originally, Grimm thought that this was her nature, but now he knew that she just wanted to protect the "fetus" in her belly and didn't dare to force it as usual.

Looking at the black cat in his hand, and then looking at the angry and anxious forest demon and the heartbroken Gargamel in the distance, Grimm couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Should he kill them all, or use the black cat to force them to serve him for a period of time?

After hesitating for only three times, Grimm made up his mind.

"Serve me for thirty years, and I will let you go!"

The eyes of the forest demon lit up, and when she was about to agree, Gargamel had stopped her.

"How can we believe that you won't go back on your word?"

Obviously, as a wizard, Gargamel knew the greed and insidiousness of wizards very well, and even he himself was such a person.

"We can sign a fair and reasonable service contract. You should believe it by the constraints of the contract, right?" Grimm smiled coldly: "You'd better make a decision quickly. Once I find out that you are trying to delay time, hum..."

Gargamel felt heavy in his heart when he heard the other party's threatening words, but he still insisted: "We can serve you for 30 years, but you can't have any ideas about our children..."

The forest demon Ava hiding behind Gargamel obviously only considered this issue now, and immediately stared at Grimm with horror.

Grimm smacked his lips regretfully.

To be honest, he was really curious about the "little life" bred by a wizard and a monster!

But for a longer-term future, Grimm could only reluctantly give up.

Grimm did not intend to stay in the Salupo family forever. When the time is right, he will raise his own banner and leave the Salupo family. In order to achieve this, he must have a hidden subordinate who can obey his orders in secret.

For this vague ideal, Grimm just tried his best to befriend Mary and Alice, in order to pull them into his camp. Although Meryl vaguely showed signs of getting closer to him, she was a wizard of the Salupo family after all. Once he left the family, whether she would still be willing to follow him became an unknown.

After all, one side was a medium-sized wizard family with a little reputation in the Sandi Tallinn area, and the other side was a family prototype with two or three soldiers. Compared with the two, it was obvious which side could provide her with more resources and greater power.

Therefore, Grimm was not completely sure to pull Meryl away.

Even Mary, who was in another world, Grimm was not 100% sure to pull her into his camp! Seriously speaking, the only one who had clearly expressed her willingness to join Grimm's camp was Alice, who was far away in the north.

From these situations, the camp that Grimm had currently formed and won over was still too weak and fragile. If Gargamel and the forest demon could join, even if they were a little half-hearted, it would still be a great benefit to Grimm's future strategic layout.

Considering this, Grimm could only regretfully give up that "little life"!

Holding the black cat in one hand and completely imprisoning it, and with the other hand, Grimm drew up a fair, just and open witchcraft contract without much effort. In addition to stipulating the rights, obligations and responsibilities of both parties, the drafted clauses did not add any discriminatory and oppressive clauses to the two, and were loose and close to an equal partnership treaty.

This undoubtedly made Gargamel and the forest demon Ava look at each other, and some could not believe their eyes.

After studying the contract for a long time, and confirming that it did not contain any fraudulent means and hidden clauses, and there were no misleading language traps, Gargamel and Ava incorporated the soul imprint into it with doubt.

When the contract was established, the clauses written in the flame rune slowly dissipated in the air, and the three of them vaguely felt the subtle changes in their souls.

There is no god of contract in the wizard world, and wizards will not dedicate their loyalty to any god, so the witnesses of most contracts are the great and fair world will. As long as they are in the wizard world, anyone who violates the witchcraft contract is destined to be spurned and backlashed by the world will.

This kind of punishment is something no wizard is willing to bear!

Grimm opened his big hand slightly, loosening the lava hand that tightly shackled the black cat, and his whole body slowly shrank in the violent shock of the fire element. Since it is no longer an enemy, there is no need to continue to maintain the form of the fire demon. After all, the flame energy gushing out of the heart of the fire demon is also a heavy burden on Grimm's body!

The black cat flashed to Gargamel's feet almost at the moment of breaking free from the shackles, and plunged into the shadows and never showed up again.

Gargamel hesitated for a moment, an embarrassed look appeared on his gloomy face, and he bowed in a low voice and said, "Master, I wonder why you came to the Black Forest this time?"

The forest demon Eva also showed a curious look on the side.

To be honest, a guy like Grimm who has the strength of an elite wizard when he goes berserk doesn't look like a down-and-out person who needs to come out to collect materials. Therefore, the two of them couldn't help but be very curious about Grimm's purpose.

Due to the witchcraft contract, Grimm now trusts them far more than the others. Therefore, facing Gargamel's question, he no longer concealed it.

"I have found out through some hidden ways that there is an underground volcano that can be used in this black forest. The approximate location is... I wonder if you have any clues about this?"

Gargamel had no clues about this, so the two could only turn their heads to look at the forest demon Ava.

She is a jungle monster who has been wandering in this black forest for a hundred years, so she is familiar with the situation everywhere. Asking her for directions is undoubtedly the most appropriate.

Sure enough, the forest demon Ava immediately showed a thoughtful and hesitant look on her face.

"I am vaguely familiar with the coordinates you mentioned. There seems to be a family of scorpion lions there, with about eleven heads. Among them, the seven adults have wizard-level strength, and the four young ones also have quasi-wizard-level strength."

Scorpion lion?

Grimm was slightly stunned, and as soon as he thought about it, the information stored in the chip database was extracted.

Scorpion lions, flying creatures, are a kind of terrible monster that combines the characteristics of bats, lions and scorpions. It has a lion head, a scorpion tail, four legs, and bat wings. It usually fights like a lion. The bat wings on its back allow it to glide at low altitude and fly short distances, but its most terrifying weapon of attack is the scorpion tail on its back.

The toxins on the claws of the scorpion lion have fatal lethality, but the scorpion tail on its back has a terrible paralysis effect in addition to being highly toxic. The antidote prepared by wizards is OK to resist toxins, but it is completely useless against the paralysis effect.

So once a wizard is trapped in the siege of the scorpion lion, he is likely to be paralyzed by the opponent continuously, and he will be torn to pieces without even a chance to resist.

However, the opponent's toxins and paralysis effects are ineffective against the magic puppets, which is a great good news!

When Grimm slowly contributed some of the information he knew about the scorpion lion, the forest demon Ava showed an envious look on her face.

The reason why human wizards are powerful can be clearly understood from this point.

The forest demon Ava's knowledge of the scorpion lion is based on bloody battles. Any intuitive experience can only be obtained after paying a painful price. Human wizards rely on the knowledge inheritance from generation to generation. They can quickly dig out useful information from the knowledge system just by mentioning a name.

Even if they have not yet contacted the other party, they can formulate a response plan in advance and prepare enough means. In this way, as long as there are no major accidents, they can easily take advantage of the contact with the monsters.

In many cases, the number and quality of monsters are far higher than that of human wizards, but they can only become their hunting targets at will. This may be the main reason!

Grimm was not in the mood to slowly experience the feelings of the forest demon Ava at this moment. Instead, he kept asking about the terrain and topography near the scorpion lion's nest. After listening to Ava's answer, he was already 70% sure that there was the underground volcano entrance he wanted to find.

However, this matter is serious. As for whether it is true or not, he needs to go there in person to determine it.

After everything was discussed, Grimm asked Gargamel to remove the poison from Sabrina and wake her up from her coma. In order to avoid exposing the relationship between the two parties, the forest demon Ava avoided it in advance, and Gargamel stood behind Grimm meekly.

When they woke up, the two sides had already shaken hands and made peace, and the monster was nowhere to be found. Although Sabrina knew that there must be something fishy, ​​she could only bury it deeply in her heart and never dared to ask more questions.

The affairs between wizards were definitely not something she, a quasi-witch, could get involved in!

The more she knew, the greater the danger, so Sabrina wisely chose to remain silent.

…………

Near dawn, the three returned to the camp smoothly.

Compared with Grimm's unscathed, Gargamel and Sabrina looked quite haggard, and even had to pull up their hoods to cover the burn marks on their faces.

Seeing that the three returned safely, the others seemed quite happy, except for the apprentice named Anthony, who had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He was Gargamel's apprentice, and he obviously knew part of his teacher's plan in advance. Seeing the three return together, he was naturally surprised and looked a little flustered.

However, Grimm was too lazy to care about such a small person, and everything was naturally left to Gargamel.

Therefore, everyone took a simple rest, ate the breakfast prepared by Neil, and then set off again! chapter;
