Chapter 0903 Mary's Promotion
As the helmsman of the Crimson Family, even with Grimm's laziness, he still has to spend a lot of time dealing with reports submitted from all over the country.
There are resource applications, research projects, leave requests, routine work reports, job briefings...
In just three or two days, the large wooden table in Grimm's residence was filled with a thick stack of documents from the family and various dispatched points. Given the thickness and height of these documents, Grimm was really worried that they would collapse and crush him to death.
In the past, most of these things were handled by Gargamel and Meryl.
Now, Gargamel was taken away by the forest demon by the ears, worrying about Amelia's "mutation" all day long, and even the affairs within the Flame Throne were somewhat neglected. Meryl seemed to feel the huge pressure within the family, and was dissatisfied with the fact that she was still only a level 1 intermediate wizard after decades of advancement.
These days, she actually threw the family affairs to Grimm and ran out to do some Black Forest training.
If these two subordinates let go, it would be hard for Grimm.
If it weren't for the chip's assistance, he only needed to reply to the words prepared by the chip on the parchment like a rubber stamp, and then stamp his personal mark. I'm afraid that the "hard work" of the past ten days would have tortured him crazy.
Fortunately, before Meryl left, she still kept Wenlier, an excellent "staff member", so Grimm didn't really go crazy.
The news of the successful activation of the 4th-level magic mechanical puppet dragon is undoubtedly a top priority, so it was immediately presented to Grimm by Wenlier. After carefully reading the report submitted by the wind witch Desela, Grimm couldn't help but squint and think.
The appearance of this 4th-level magic mechanical puppet dragon is really just right, filling a fatal flaw of the Crimson Family's lack of top combat power. However, how to use it obviously requires extremely high political acumen and strategic thinking.
In addition, the Lance plane brain monster also submitted a report urging the agreed six magic furnaces. Although Grimm has already agreed with the brain monster on this matter, he still needs to consider how to execute it and when to execute it.
This brain monster is not trustworthy. Once the power of its subordinates is over-strengthened, Grimm is very worried that it will take over the Lance plane and leave the Crimson Family behind. It is precisely because of this concern that Grimm will never allow the brain monster to attack the magic puppet dragon and the metal titan.
In addition, the existence of Thunder Dragon Arms, Emerald Mother Dragon Aretina and a large number of green dragons is also an additional force to deter the brain monster's alien heart. As long as the brain monster does not raise the banner of rebellion and does not cut off the connection between the Crimson Family and the Lance plane, Grimm will allow it to retain its own power.
However, if it expects more and stretches its hands too far, Grimm does not mind giving it a "small" lesson!
If it were in the past, Grimm would not have advanced to level 3, and he could only try his best to win over and appease the level 3 brain monster. But now, he has the strength of level 3, and he has the ability to punish him at critical moments.
Therefore, when facing this level 3 brain monster, Grimm's attitude is quite subtle.
However, Grimm seems a little uneasy today, and he is a little indifferent to these major family affairs. Instead, he focuses his attention on a certain place in the upper level of the Flame Throne Witch Tower.
Mary has not stepped out of her residence for many days, and she has also opened the protective witch formation of her residence to isolate all internal and external news. Even if Grimm uses his Witch Tower authority, he can only barely sense that her soul fluctuations are still active, but the fluctuations are more intense.
Half a year ago, Mary had already reached the peak of level 2, and after the battle in front of the Destiny Tower, she seemed to have benefited a lot. As soon as she came back, she locked herself in the secret room and never showed up again.
According to Grimm's estimation, she should not be stupid enough to try to advance now.
After all, the promotion to level 3 is a huge threshold for wizards. Levels below level 3 are only low- and medium-level, while level 3 and above are high-level. The changes in the soul origin of wizards brought about by this are even more astonishing.
Although Grimm has arranged a series of preparations for Mary's promotion, and even the level 3 vampire has been sealed and sent to Mary. But this silly woman always comes to me before the promotion, so that I can be mentally prepared in advance!
However, when thinking of Mary's character, Grimm can only shake his head regretfully.
Impulsive, reckless, irritable, irritable... these are the most distinctive characteristics of Mary!
After Grimm was promoted to level 3, although Mary also showed unusual joy, deep in her heart, the stubbornness of not admitting defeat was still clearly visible.
This can be seen from her enthusiasm and fieryness in bed!
Now, she also has the hope of being promoted to level 3. With her character, it is precious that she can suppress her restless heart and wait until this moment to try to advance.
Therefore, during these days, even though such a major change happened in the Goblin Plane, Grimm did not leave the Flame Throne Tower. He had to guard the Flame Throne and the secret room without leaving, to prevent the outside world from disturbing Mary's promotion.
And counting on fingers, Mary's promotion should have some results!
…………
Inside the secret room.
This place is already a sea of blood.
Foul-smelling blood rose from the huge blood pool in the center of the chamber floor, spreading to every corner of the chamber. Whenever the blood-colored mist washed over the chamber wall, it would be blocked by a layer of magic barrier that rose up.
The blood was rippling in the huge blood pool, smelly and sticky, and the breath of power contained in it was even more shocking. The dragon souls bound by the witch array turned into dragons from time to time, raised their necks and roared in anger.
But unfortunately, no matter how they struggled or roared, they could not get rid of this blood pool, let alone the tragic fate of the dragon blood essence being absorbed into the body by the enemy bit by bit.
Above the blood pool, an old noble man in gorgeous clothes was tied up in the air by four or five silver chains. The rough chains passed through his clavicle, ribs, shoulder blades, wrist bones and foot bones, rubbing against his flesh and blood, so that the wounds on his flesh could never heal.
Drops of sticky dark red blood kept falling into the blood pool below, and every drop that fell could stir up a heart-pounding blood storm inside the blood pool.
In the depths of the dark and heavy blood in the blood pool, a vague figure was sinking to the bottom of the pool, silently absorbing the surging blood energy in the blood pool that was almost about to explode.
The leap from level 2 to level 3 is an essential leap, and also a huge change in the origin!
If the level 1 wizard is just cannon fodder in the plane war, then the level 2 is the strong among the cannon fodder. As for the level 3, it can be regarded as a qualified soldier for the plane conquest.
Although there is still a long way to go before issuing orders, it is no longer cannon fodder that can be discarded at will!
The vampire physique that Mary inherited belongs to the ranks of bloodline wizards in the wizard camp. They are promoted very quickly, but they must bear the shackles of bloodline shackles. If it weren't for the old vampire Henes Vick captured by Grimm, it would be almost impossible for Mary to advance to the third level with her vampire physique.
Now, what Mary needs to do is to suck the old vampire Henes Vick dry, use his blood to wash and purify her blood, so as to break the blood shackles and advance to the third level.
If she absorbs all of it directly, with the strength of the third-level vampire, it is easy to turn the tables and devour Mary. That's why Mary needs this high-quality blood pool to purify and wash the soul breath in the old vampire's original blood, so that she can gradually absorb and integrate everything from the other party.
In a corner of the secret room, the blood coffin that Grimm carefully built for her is also ready.
When she absorbs everything from the old vampire and all the blood energy in the blood pool, she will get into the blood coffin and fall into a long sleep. And relying on the magical and mysterious witch formation on the blood coffin, Mary can smoothly go through the promotion process in a long sleep.
This promotion process was tailor-made for her by Grimm, and it was completely different from other vampires.
Grimm used his familiarity with Mary and old vampires to design such a fool-proof promotion process, which almost eliminated all possibilities of human error.
As long as Mary's talent source was not extremely poor, according to this process, the probability of successful promotion was as high as 89%.
However, it was still unknown when Mary would be able to break out of the coffin, so Grimm could only silently guard the Flame Throne and wait for the good news from her.
And this kind of waiting lasted for seven years.
…………
Seven years later.
In the secret room.
The blood mist that permeated the secret room had long dissipated.
The huge blood pool on the floor had also solidified and dried up, and the scene of blood rippling could no longer be seen. Only a layer of black powder three fingers thick was scattered at the bottom of the pool.
The old vampire tied with silver chains had been dead for a long time. The flesh and blood on his body had long faded away, leaving only broken bones and broken robes hanging in the air, motionless.
And the strange blood coffin in the corner of the secret room, which had not moved for seven years, shook slightly with a strange sound.
After a while, the sound in the blood coffin became more and more obvious.
Finally, with a sudden force from the person in the coffin, the tightly fitting coffin lid creaked and moved to the side, revealing the dark space inside.
Immediately, a beautiful female hand, white and delicate, rested on the edge of the coffin.
Perhaps suffocated by the turbid air in the coffin, the owner of the hand waved lightly in anger, and the coffin lid weighing half a ton flew out suddenly with a powerful swing, and slammed heavily on the opposite wall.
Mary, naked, supported her head and sat up from the blood coffin, and couldn't help but uttered a low voice.
Who am I? How am I here? Where is this place?
Immediately, a tide of memories and emotions seeped out from her limbs and bones, allowing her to find herself again.
I... I am Mary...
