After a long month of waiting, the expected boot finally landed.

The service contract signed between Grim and the Sarupo family has been a hundred years, and now it has been ten years, which can be regarded as the protection period of the new wizard and has become an official wizard of the family. Therefore, the compulsory tasks of the family followed.

As Meryl had previously revealed, Grim would be sent to Gilneth City, the closest to the conflict zone, where there is a ring excavation site belonging to the Sarubo family, known for producing high-quality crescentite and citrine jade.

Of course, there is also a family's second-level resource point nearby, which is also a target for the garrison wizards to take care of.

According to the rules of the past, Grim, as a wizard sent by the family to garrison the past, needs to maintain the basic security of these two regions. Their day-to-day production is usually handled by another specialized group of would-be wizards and senior apprentices, and Grim doesn't need to be there all the time.

However, when resource points and mines are presented with problems that cannot be solved by the guardian forces, Grim, the resident wizard, must step in to expel or kill wizard-level enemies who threaten resource gathering.

So in normal times, Grim can stay in the bustling city of Gilneth and spend his days leisurely. The apprentice who guards the ordinary minor trouble will solve it on his own, and only when facing a wizard-level enemy will he send someone to invite him to take charge.

Therefore, in addition to not being very free, this kind of garrison task can almost be regarded as a kind of beauty difference.

After all, the proximity to the resource point must have changed their tricks to please the resident wizard like Grim. As long as he is willing, it is no problem to have a banquet and carnival every day. And every once in a while, the managers of several resource points and mines must have additional resources to enshrine, which is a tacit thing, so it also belongs to the basic benefits of the stationed wizards.

But these are peacetime things, and the situation is clearly different now.

Some time ago, the head apprentice of the Iron Ring Excavation Field, a quasi-witch named Zake, had a conflict with a quasi-witch of the nearby Yahi family when he was out to collect resources, and killed the other party by 'mistake'.

So, this instantly detonated the deep contradiction between the Sarupo family and the Yahi family!

Privately, of course, the top of the Sarupo family and the Aki family must have begun to make secret contacts, arguing about topics such as 'revenge' and 'compensation'. But with Sanaza's fiery temper, how could he easily agree to the other party's conditions, hand over Tsarke, and compensate for resources.

Therefore, when the two sides quarrel endlessly, the front of this family has become a powder keg, and it is likely to become the target of the other party's revenge.

Although killing between wizards is strictly forbidden in the scattered Tallinn region, if there is a good excuse, then the bigwigs of the wizarding guild will also turn a blind eye and do not participate in the 'friction' between the two wizarding families.

In view of the tense situation near Gilneth City, a powerful battle wizard was urgently needed, so it was only natural that Grim, the 'thorn', was sent there.

The Sarupo family gave Grim only twenty days to prepare.

For more than twenty days, Grim has not appeared in Gilneth City, and Lord Fogen, the second-order wizard in charge of the Sarupo family, is about to talk to him.

As for the safety of Grim's own Witch Tower, this was never mentioned.

The territory of the Sarubo family is so large, he doesn't choose it, but roots his witch tower in a wild black forest, which has obviously caused dissatisfaction among the family leaders. And this family compulsory mission is a blow to him.

Normal wizards, when faced with the mandatory tasks of the family, will have two or three different choices, and then freely choose one according to their preferences and time.

Usually this kind of garrison takes two years at a time, and the remaining three years he will be able to arrange and act on his own until the end of the five-year period.

It's a pity that this time it was a mandatory task assigned to Grim by Lord Sanaza himself, so even if he was dissatisfied, Grim didn't have the courage to deal with the other party.

After receiving the family's mission paperwork, Grim could only try his best to start arranging the internal affairs of the Witch Tower.

This time he may be away for a long time, and the security work and internal development around the Witch Tower need to be arranged one by one. And before leaving, he needs to clean up the 'thorns' that will pose a threat to the Witch Tower!

…………

The Giant Elephant is a powerful monster with a strong sense of territory.

Once the territory is demarcated, they will constantly move around it. Any powerful creature that enters their territory will be subjected to a frenzied attack by the giant elephant herd.

In contrast, the weaker creatures do not arouse their alertness and aggression.

So it's impossible to find any other monsters in the Giant Elephant's living area!

The Black Forest is covered in night, and the dense giant trees form a sea.

Each giant tree is tens of meters high, and its dense foliage covers the sky, and it is almost impossible to see anything on the ground when flying through the sky.

According to the information provided by Anguga, Grim rode on the back of the manticore leader, and under the cover of a huge night, he quickly glided along the treetops towards the area where the giant elephants lived.

Due to the obscuration of the canopy of the giant tree, it was difficult for Grim's vision and perception to peek beneath the dense foliage. Hovering over the dark sea of woods, however, Grim's keen vision has always been able to catch the unusual shaking of certain tree canopies.

The night wind whistled and blew at his side.

The scorpion lion leader's wide bat wings stretched out, and with the help of the wind, he easily shuttled over the forest sea.

Grim looked around, and soon found several anomalies in the undulating black forest. It seemed that some giant beast was passing through the forest, and the giant trees that were rubbing against them could not stop shaking.

Grim gently patted the manticore leader under him, and the other party immediately understood the body and spread his wings and glided there.

As it approached, the manticore leader bat winged downward, slammed through the dense foliage that stood in his way, and plunged headlong into the dark forest.

When he rushed into the forest, the leader of the manticore re-spread his bat's wings and glided through the tall ancient trees with agility and agility. Every once in a while, he will stop on a thick tree branch and scan the strange forest world with his sharp eyes.

Boom......

A giant elephant as tall as a hill slowly patrolled the territory. With its massive body, every step it takes makes the ground tremble.

Suddenly, its long nose was raised high, and its huge body turned with incredible agility, its blood-red eyes fixed on the darkness in the distance.

There, it seems, there is a dangerous aura that disgusts it!

Roar......

The giant elephant raised its stout front legs and trampled heavily on the ground under its feet, its long trunk flicking from side to side, shaking the trees around it. Two fangs that curved forward in a huge arc scraped against the giant tree, causing its sawdust to fly, and the bark peeled off, revealing the white stubble underneath.

As a monster that likes to stick to its territory, the giant elephant raises its nose and growls intimidatingly, demonstrating to its opponent. If a creature in the darkness leaves on its own, it will continue to roam the territory as if it didn't see it.

After all, this terrifying instinct of danger made it understand that the guy it encountered today was not something to be provoked at will. However, its 'kindness' was clearly unappreciated, and the creature in the darkness walked towards it instead of leaving.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Without the slightest hesitation, the blood-surging giant elephant immediately launched a death charge, leaning down slightly, burying its head, pointing at each other with two sharp fangs, and rushing towards the humanoid creature walking out of the darkness with heavy steps.

The other party was a human being, dressed in a black robe, with strong elemental fluctuations rippling in his body.

This made it immediately recognize that it was a human wizard!

Although by the time he migrated here, the leader of the Giant Elephant had learned that a wizard's tower of human wizards had appeared nearby. However, with the stubborn idea of 'the well water does not interfere with the river water', the leader of the giant elephant still chose to set up his home here.

During this period of time, many monsters in the surrounding area have come to woo it, but the leader of the giant barbarian elephant has strictly restrained his subordinates and does not allow them to easily step out of the territory. Unfortunately, its hard work was still in vain. It doesn't bother with human wizards, but human wizards do!

With a full of anger and bloodthirsty rage, the leader of the giant elephant was like a moving mountain of meat, knocking two or three trees in the way, and rushed towards Grim with unstoppable bravery.

Grim, shrouded in black robes, raised his head, and two dazzling red lights lit up under the dark shadow of his deep hood, and he held the witch staff in his left hand, stretched forward his right hand, and a bright red terrifying flame burst out from his palm, slashing a distance of thirty meters, and scraped head-on towards the skull of the giant barbarian leader.

呲呲......

There was a strange sound of mad burning flesh and blood.

A thin protective force field appeared around the leader of the giant elephant, which simply blocked the flame flow in Grim's hand, and then its massive body rushed past the place where Grim was still like a runaway train.

A huge flame rises.

Grim's 'skinny' body disappeared beneath the thick iron hooves of the leader of the giant elephants, and when he reappeared, he stood proudly on the broad back of the other party.

A huge ball of lava fireball kept converging in his palm.

When the fire element was so strong that even he could no longer control it, Grim flicked his wrist and threw it into the head of the giant elephant leader, and he disappeared into the flames again.

Boom......

There was an earth-shattering bang.

The silent Black Forest erupted in terrifying waves of fire and waves of fire.

In the blink of an eye, a huge space with a radius of twenty or thirty meters was engulfed by a monstrous sea of fire!
