Chapter 0443: Pressing Forward Step by Step
Minnar Valley.
It is difficult for the bright sunlight to shine through the dense canopy of trees, leaving the forest shrouded in confusing darkness. A light mist filled the forest, and the entire forest was silent. Even the most common insects and birds could not be heard.
In this dead silence, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the shadow cast by a green poplar tree, and quickly turned into a hazy and illusory human form.
The water mist spread with a splash, revealing the mysterious wizard wearing a sky-blue wizard robe and a handsome and cold face.
After the mysterious wizard appeared, he glanced around and found nothing unusual. Then he lightly stamped his foot, and a gloomy cold air penetrated into the ground, touching a certain talisman array there.
Silently, a thick snake-neck flower suddenly emerged from the soil in a forest clearing. The petals that were folded in layers opened one after another, spitting out a rough-looking man with a golden ring on his head and leopard claws on his hands. A strong man.
"Hey, no news yet?" Seeing his companion's silent expression, the strong man immediately became furious: "It's been four days. No matter how timid that bastard is, he still wants to come here to take a look! Did he get something? News, otherwise why are you so calm?"
"You have to ask Ramil!" The blue-robed wizard complained with displeasure: "She took it upon herself to conduct a sneak attack. Not only did she fail to catch the guy, she also made him more vigilant."
"Isn't it that bitch Ramil who sold us?" The rough man's thoughts changed, and his eyes turned fierce: "Ramil, come out... I know you are here, get out now... …”
With the roar of the rough man, the whole forest was shaken with a buzzing sound. This made the blue-robed wizard couldn't help but frown. He waved the short-handled witch staff in his hand, and a colorful translucent water barrier blocked the place. got up.
This place is still too close to the enemy's iron ring excavation site. If the warning witch formation inside detects the anomaly here, it will be difficult for them to carry out their subsequent plans.
Zhizhizhi...
A strange ape cry came from the depths of the forest. Four or five gibbons flew over the tree canopy and finally stopped on a big tree in front of the two of them, staring straight at them. Look at them.
"Ramir, you still dare to come out... and say, have you betrayed the information about our coming? Otherwise, how could that kid be so smart? There has been such a turmoil here, how can he still stay in the city honestly? come out……"
The originally cloudy and dull eyes of the gibbon located directly in front of the two people suddenly shone with a glimmer of light from the bottom of the pupils, and then the whole 'person' became smarter and more agile.
"Xicha, you barbarian, I'm too lazy to talk to you... I am also involved in this mission. What good will it do to me if the mission fails?" Gibbon suddenly spoke, and the voice that came out was a female voice.
"Huh, that's not certain. Everyone knows that you and Flanders have never dealt with each other. Who knows if you might be up to something secretly?" Xicha crossed his arms with a look of distrust on his face.
"Okay, okay..." Flanders, the blue-robed wizard who had been standing aside with a cold face, interrupted the confrontation between the two: "No matter whether that guy heard anything or not, we have to lure him out. There is an ambush here in the iron ring. It’s the most suitable, and you don’t have to worry about being disturbed when fighting. We still set this up as the first battlefield.”
"Humph, the environment here is indeed the best, and it is the most suitable for ambushes and raids. We know this, and I'm afraid that boy also knows it. There has been an accident in the mine for a few days, and he is not even willing to do a little exploration. I'm afraid he has already thought about it in his heart. The Iron Ring Excavation Site gave up. "Although Xicha is a body-building wizard and a muscular man, in terms of wisdom, his mind is not inferior to Flanders, who is good at mental strength.
"There is one of his disciples in the mine, how about I lure him out too. Maybe I can force that bastard to show up!" Gibbon rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.
"Lure it out first and lock it up, and see the effect!" Blue-robed wizard Flanders frowned and thought hard.
Although he knew that Ramil was willing to come up with ideas, he must have bad intentions, but after thinking about it, he couldn't detect what kind of conspiracy was hidden in it.
"Let's wait for another day. If that guy still doesn't come out, we will demolish the level 2 resource point for him. I don't believe that under this situation, he can still squat in the stone tower. Xica, you Work harder, find a suitable ambush location near the resource point, arrange the talisman array, and then wait for me there..."
"and you……"
"I'm going to Gilneas City to have a look." The blue-robed wizard Flanders gritted his teeth: "If that kid really doesn't plan to stand out, we can only raid his stone tower when necessary. Fortunately, it is just a simple defensive wizard. Formation instead of War Witch Tower, otherwise our mission would be really difficult!”
This is to go to the other party's lair to check out the points.
Xica stopped asking about the specific details, after all, Ramil was also here. Regardless of whether she leaked the secret or not, it's better to keep her personal whereabouts a secret.
After a brief exchange, the three of them broke up again and went in different directions.
The forest near the iron ring excavation site soon fell silent again.
…………
Bluestone tower.
Greem was in a bad mood.
He had just received a witchcraft message from Meryl from Ferdnan. Kodar's funeral would be held in three days in a small place called Molloy.
That's where his family's cemetery is!
Kodar failed and died during the promotion ceremony ten days ago.
It is said that when the tribesmen carried him out of the secret room, all the blood, flesh and organs in his body had been sucked out by the promotion ceremony, and his body was as thin and dry as a skeleton.
Without the quasi-witch Kodar, his family would inevitably decline for a period of time. Although there are still some talented seedlings among the younger generations of the family, it takes time and resources for them to grow up.
So when Meryl faced the crying old patriarch, she, as a new wizard, was obviously not good at dealing with such a scene. Therefore, when she returned to Fednan City, there was a little girl named Mona beside her.
Mona, 18 years old, junior apprentice...
This short information is simply mediocre, but it is enough to sentence Mona to death!
She is already 18 years old and is only a junior apprentice, which is enough to show that her talent potential is very poor. If you want to train such a junior apprentice, the resources consumed are enough to train 3-5 guys with outstanding talent potential.
Meryl is simply asking for trouble!
As a new wizard, she doesn't have too many resources, and she has a group of family apprentices waiting for her to train. Now there is a half-sister of Kodar, and this big burden is likely to slow down her own development plan.
Although he didn't agree with Meryl's actions, Grim thought about it and sent messages to the goblin Kirby and Gargamel of the Fire Throne, respectively, and increased the amount of resources allocated to Meryl.
As members of Grimm's faction, in order to maintain a close relationship with them, in addition to the nominal mentor-disciple relationship, Grimm will also give them great discounts when purchasing resources and teaching knowledge. This can also help them save a lot of resources, allowing them to use this part of the resources to strengthen themselves and their knowledge reserves, and can also improve their personal strength in disguise.
So if you want to gather a group of people, the resources required are so huge that it is almost unimaginable for outsiders.
To give the simplest example, so many wizard apprentices would rather accept harsh witchcraft contracts and sharpen their heads to join a wizard family or witchcraft organization. What is it for?
The purpose is to get a certain share of resource subsidies, and when they reach the threshold of quasi-witch, they can get a free wizard promotion ceremony sponsored by the family. If the witchcraft materials and resources consumed in this wizard promotion ceremony are converted into magic crystals, the basic value should be 10,000 magic crystals.
And 10,000 magic crystals, it may take a wandering quasi-witch seven or eight years to collect them by his own strength. If you consider that many resources needed for the promotion ceremony cannot be collected in the market, most of them are monopolized by wizard families.
This has even increased the difficulty of obtaining the props for the promotion ceremony in disguise!
Many helpless wandering apprentices can only take the risk of breaking into a resource point of a wizard family in order to steal some rare resources that are not available on the market. But there are also many guys who have been killed because of this.
So this is how the hatred between wandering wizards, apprentices and wizard families came.
Just as Grimm was lost in thought, Sabrina came again.
The two apprentices Yuri and Moss are here again!
This... is the twelfth time they have visited Wizard Grimm in the past five days!
From their expressions every time they come, it can be seen that the situation on the front line is becoming more and more urgent. In the past, only hired chores and guards were involved in the accident, but in the past two days, the number of missing persons has spread to the group of wizard apprentices.
In just two days, two intermediate apprentices and one senior apprentice disappeared from the Iron Ring Excavation Site, and an intermediate apprentice also disappeared from the Level 2 resource point.
These guys disappeared very strangely, and no traces of fighting could be found at the scene, as if they had slipped out of their residence and walked out of the range of the defensive magic array.
Grimm certainly knew the inside story here, but he did not reveal a single word to these "men". After all, he could not tell which of these people could be trusted and which could not be trusted, so for the sake of confidentiality, he simply did not see anyone, and asked Sabrina to send them away every time.
In the lobby on the first floor, the two apprentice leaders were restless and frequently looked up at the door.
When they saw that only Sabrina came in, and there was no figure of Grimm, they couldn't help but reveal despair and resentment on their faces.
Once upon a time, they still regarded this famous fire demon as their personal idol. But now...
"Grimm is still busy with his own witchcraft experiments and has no time to see you for the time being." Sabrina paused, and her scarlet mechanical eyes flashed a few times: "He asked me to tell you that this is just the enemy's harassment tactics. As long as you..."
"Harassment, harassment..." Yuri, who was under the most pressure, was the first to give up: "In order to avoid the invasion of the enemy, several of our wizard apprentices have moved to live in a room, but we still can't stop apprentices from disappearing. Although it is my duty to guard the Iron Ring Excavation Site, Grimm has to bear part of the responsibility. If the master doesn't come forward, we can only ask for help from the family ourselves..."
After speaking, he didn't even look at Sabrina's face, and turned around and left the stone tower angrily.
And the apprentice Moss also sighed secretly, lowered his head and walked out silently.
On the upper floor of the stone tower, Grimm stood in the shadows beside the narrow window, silently watching the two people leave, and silently communicating with the chip.
"Chip, how long will it take to complete the data model?"
“Ding, 36 hours, 49 minutes, 52 seconds…”
If you add the time it takes to make the Wind Dragon Demon Puppet, it means that it will take at least 48 hours to take action.
Grimm couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, and the cold light in his pupils became colder and colder.
