With the holographic perspective of the chip, Grim could also vaguely sense the abnormality in the forest demon's abdomen.

When fighting just now, the forest demon did show cowardice and cowardice.

Originally, Grim thought that her nature was like this, but now he realized that she was just trying to save the 'fetus' in her womb, and she didn't dare to come hard as usual.

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

Do you kill them all, or do you use black cats to force them to serve you for a while?

After only three hesitations, Grim made up his mind.

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

The forest demon's eyes lit up, and she was about to agree, but Gargamel had already stopped her.

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

Apparently as a wizard, Gargamel knew all about the greed and insidiousness of wizards, even himself.

"We can sign a fair and reasonable service contract, relying on the constraints of the contract, you should always believe it, right?" Grim smiled coldly: "You'd better hurry up and decide." Once I find out you're trying to stall for time, hum ......"

Gargamel's heart was heavy when he heard the other party's threatening words, but he still insisted: "We can serve you for thirty years, but you can't beat our children with the slightest idea......"

Eva, the forest demon hiding behind Gargamel, had apparently only now considered this problem, and immediately stared at Grim with horror on her face.

Grim smacked his lips regretfully.

To be honest, he was really curious about the 'little life' that a wizard and a monster had bred!

However, for the sake of a longer-term future, Grim can only endure the pain of parting love.

Grim didn't intend to stay with the Sarubo family forever. When the time comes, he will raise his banner and break away from the Sarubo family. In order to do this, he must have a covert subordinate in the shadows who can do his bidding.

It was for this vague ideal that Grim desperately befriended Mary and Alice, in order to draw them into his camp. Although Meryl has a vague sign of moving closer to her, she is also a wizard of the Sarubo family after all. Once she broke away from her family, it was unknown whether she would still be willing to follow her.

After all, one side is a medium-sized wizard family with a thin reputation in the scattered Tallinn region, and the other side is a family with two or three small soldiers, and it is obvious which side can provide her with more resources and more power.

So, Grim wasn't completely sure about pulling Meryl away.

Even the Mary in the other world, Grim is not 100% sure that she will be pulled into the camp! Seriously, the only one who has clearly expressed her willingness to join Grim's camp is Alice, who is far away in the Northlands.

From the analysis of these circumstances, the camp forces that Grim has formed and wooed are still too thin and fragile. If Gargamel and the Lyndon can join, even if they are a little half-hearted, it will still be of great benefit to Grim's future strategic layout.

With this in mind, Grim can only regretfully give up that 'little life'!

Holding the black cat in one hand, completely imprisoning it, and drawing the emptiness in the other, Grim didn't have much effort to draw up a fair, just, and open witchcraft contract. In addition to stipulating the rights, obligations and responsibilities of both parties, the proposed clauses do not attach any discriminatory and oppressive clauses to the two parties, which is loosely similar to an equal partnership treaty.

This undoubtedly made Gargamel and Ava the Wood Demon look at each other, a little unable to believe their eyes.

After studying the contract for a long time, making sure that it contained no fraudulent tactics, no hidden terms, and no misleading linguistic traps, Gargamel and Ava put their soul imprint into it.

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

There are no gods of contract in the wizarding world, and wizards do not offer their allegiance to any god, so most of the witnesses of the contract are great and just world wills. As long as it is in the wizarding world, anyone who violates the witchcraft contract is destined to be spurned and eaten by the will of the world.

It's a punishment that no wizard wants to bear!

Grim's big hand opened slightly, loosening the lava hand that was tightly shackling the black cat, and his entire body slowly contracted in the violent fire elemental shock. Since he is no longer an enemy, there is no need to continue to maintain the Flame Demon form. After all, the flame energy gushing out of the Heart of the Fire Demon was also a heavy burden on Grim's body!

The black cat flashed at Gargamel's feet almost instantly, plunged headlong into the shadows and never to be seen again.

Gargamel hesitated for a moment, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he bowed in a low voice, "Master, I don't know what you came to the Black Forest for this time?"

Ava, the forest demon, also showed a curious look on one side.

To be honest, a guy like Grim who has gone berserk and has the strength of an elite wizard doesn't look like a down-and-out who needs to come out and gather materials on his own. Therefore, the two of them couldn't help but be very curious about Grim's purpose.

Because of the witchcraft contract, Grim now trusts them far more than the rest of the people. Therefore, in the face of Gargamel's inquiry, he no longer hid it.

"I found out through some hidden means that there is an underground volcano in this Black Forest that can be used, and the general location is ...... I wonder if you have any clues about this?"

Gargamel didn't have any clue about this, and the two of them could only turn their heads to look at Ava, the forest demon.

She is a jungle monster who has been roaming the Black Forest for a hundred years, so she is familiar with the situation everywhere, and it is undoubtedly the best place to ask her for directions.

Sure enough, the forest demon Ava's face immediately showed a look of thought and hesitation.

"I'm vaguely familiar with the coordinates you mentioned. There seems to be a family of manticores there, numbering about eleven, of which seven of the adult ones have wizard-level strength, and the small four also have quasi-witch-level strength. ”

Manticore?

Grim was slightly stunned, and in a flash of his mind, the information stored in the chip database had been extracted.

The Manticore, a flying creature, is a terrifying monster that combines the characteristics of bats, lions, and scorpions. It has a lion's head, a scorpion tail, four legs, and bat wings, and usually fights like a lion, and the bat wings behind it allow it to glide low and fly short distances, but its most fearsome attack weapon is the scorpion tail behind it.

The toxin impregnated in the mincions of the manticore lion has lethal power, but the scorpion tail behind it is not only highly poisonous, but also has a terrifying paralyzing effect. The antidote concocted by the wizards is okay to ward off the toxin, but it is completely useless to deal with the paralysis effect.

Therefore, once the wizard is trapped in the siege of the manticore, he is likely to be paralyzed by the other party continuously, and he will be torn to pieces by the other party without even having a chance to resist.

However, the opponent's toxin and paralysis effects are ineffective against the golems, which is great news!

When Grim slowly contributed some of the information he knew about the manticore, Ava the forest demon had a look of envy on her face.

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

The forest demon Ava's understanding of the manticore lion depends on bloody battles, and any intuitive experience can only be obtained after paying a painful price. Human wizards, on the other hand, rely on the knowledge passed down from generation to generation, and they can quickly dig out useful information from the knowledge system just by mentioning a name.

Even if they haven't reached each other yet, they can plan in advance and prepare enough means to deal with each other. If they come prepared, as long as there are no big accidents, they can easily take advantage of the contact with the monsters

In many cases, the quantity and quality of monsters are much higher than those of human wizards, but they can only be hunted as they please. This is probably the main reason!

Grim was not in the mood to slowly experience the feelings of the forest demon Ava at this moment, but kept asking about the terrain near the manticore's lair. After listening to Ava's answer, he was already seven or eight points sure that it was the entrance to the underground volcano he was looking for.

However, the stakes are high, and as for whether it is or not, you need to go there in person to make a trip to decide.

It wasn't until everything was worked out that Grimm had Gargamel remove the toxin from Sabrina's body and wake her up from her coma. In order to avoid leaking the relationship between the two parties, Ava avoided it in advance, and Gargamel meekly stood behind Grim.

When I woke up, the two sides of the battle had shaken hands and made peace, and the monster was nowhere to be found. Although Sabrina knew that there must be something strange inside, she could only bury it deep in her heart, and she would never dare to ask more.

The affairs between wizards are definitely not something that she can participate in as a quasi-witch!

The more you know, the more danger you have, so Sabrina wisely chooses to remain silent.

…………

Towards dawn, the three of them returned to the camp without incident.

Compared to Grim's unscathed, Gargamel and Sabrina looked rather emaciated, and even had to pull up their hoods to hide the burns on their faces.

Seeing that a few people had come back smoothly, the rest of the people seemed quite happy, only the potion apprentice named Anthony had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He was a disciple of Gargamem, and apparently knew part of his teacher's plan beforehand. At this moment, seeing the three of them returning together, he was naturally surprised, and his expression was a little panicked.

However, for such a small person, Grim didn't bother to deal with it, and everything was naturally left to Gargamel to settle down.

Therefore, everyone took a short rest, and after eating the breakfast prepared by Neil, they set out on the journey again!
