Chapter 0980: A Long Five Years
Wizarding World, Tower of Destiny.
Dragging her tired and tired body, Alice had just stepped out of the astrological hall when the elf Helen rushed over with a stagger.
"It's terrible, it's terrible, that bad woman is here again......"
Helen circled Alice's body three times, and finally stopped in front of her in a huff, waving her hand to bless her with 'Life Bloom' and 'Energy Return'. The former is to restore life and physical strength, and the latter is to restore mental strength.
With these two blessings, Alice's rest time from her current state of mental exhaustion to her peak state can be shortened by half. This is simply the best thing for most wizards who value their time.
The reason why elemental elves are valued by so many wizards is why they are valuable!
Bad woman?
Alice was slightly stunned, and then realized that it was Mary who came.
As the owner of the Tower of Destiny, Mary could not break into the upper floors of the Tower without Alice's permission.
Therefore, despite being extremely tired, Alice dragged her sour body to the third floor of the tower to meet the angry Mary.
"What the hell are you doing, where did Grim go?" asked Mary as soon as she saw her, "Now, the Fabres, Entom, and Denell families in Tallinn are scattered...... One by one, they came to the door and asked Grim to come out to solve the friction problem in the family territory. There are all fourth-order wizards in their family, and they must not fight them all at once like before. Whether it's war or peace, the patriarch Grim always has to come out and get an idea......"
All these days, Mary has been sitting within the family, and she is troubled by these many treacherous family affairs. Although Gargamel and Winriel handled their internal affairs in an orderly manner, the family development was also thriving. However, in the midst of the treacherous maelstrom of power, the external challenges faced by the Crimson family have not diminished in the slightest.
Even, with the appearance of several high-level wizards of the Crimson Family, the external pressure they were under became greater and greater, and there was a tendency for black clouds to overwhelm the city.
Not to mention anything else, there have been dozens of frictions and disputes around the Crimson Family's territory during this period alone. Either a secular nobleman of a family was assassinated in the Crimson Realm, or a nobleman adjacent to the Crimson Realm started a war over a trivial matter, or a force accused the Crimson Realm of harboring their fugitives......
Although most of these things are only mundane affairs in the Crimson Territory, they do not involve the level of wizarding families. However, the fact that so many disputes and troubles erupted at one moment still made Gargamel and Winriel, who were in charge of the family's affairs, feel the slightest bit inappropriate.
You must know that it has not been forty years since the Crimson family last launched a wizarding war, and that time it was a time when the coalition forces of the five families were defeated and fled. Now, there are external forces that have set their sights on the Crimson Family!
Mary gave the order, and the goblin forces belonging to the Crimson family quickly got back the information.
This time, it was not those small families and small forces that were eyeing the Crimson family in the past, but several large wizard families that trembled with a stomp in Tallinn.
The Fabres, the Entom, the Denell......
These illustrious names, in the scattered Tallinn region in the middle of the continent, are like pearls mixed in a glass pile, and the dignity and glory are incomparable.
There are hundreds of wizard families in the middle of the continent, but no matter how they rise and fall, fight and die, it is still the five giants who stand at the forefront. The Fabres, the Entom and the Denell are three of them.
Now, even they had their eyes on the Crimson family, as the only second-order wizard in the family at the moment, Mary instantly felt a heavy pressure like a mountain.
But Mary is good at fighting, good at killing, but not good at this kind of private operation of resolving grudges in the staggered cups and staggering and making agreements in sheng song and swallow dance. Therefore, Zacha the Dragonman and Bilis, the Worm Witch, were instructed by Mary to run around, and with their fierce force, they repelled one inexplicable enemy after another.
However, after all, those secular nobles and low-level wizard families were just minions and lackeys sent by the enemies behind the scenes to interfere with the Crimson family, and they were repulsed, but they still couldn't cut off the black hand behind the scenes.
If it weren't for the fact that the Crimson family was guarded by that Rank 4 magic weapon puppet dragon, I'm afraid some families would have been eager to declare war on it!
It was with these worries that Mary was even more desperate to find Grim.
But unfortunately, she only knows that Alice had traveled to the Flame Throne some time ago, and then Grim mysteriously disappeared. As for Grim's true movements, she didn't know anything.
Therefore, at this moment, she rushed to the Tower of Destiny in a rage and questioned Alice about Grim's whereabouts.
Grim's predicament on the Enwick plane, Alice only vaguely knows. But even with such simple information, she didn't dare to divulge it to Mary easily.
Not for anything else, for the 'powerful enemy' who is always staring at her!
Without clues, it would have been difficult for Alice to know everything that was going on in the Enwick plane, and the 'woman' could not have known more than she did. But if Alice casually reveals the situation there, even if she uses the witchcraft of fate to cover it up afterwards, she still can't stop the other party from learning about the hole cards in her hand through the development of the 'world line'.
That's the bizarre and treacherous nature of the Witch of Destiny struggle!
Therefore, Alice can only tell Mary in a vague tone that Grim is temporarily trapped in an alien plane, but he is safe, and he only needs to wait patiently for a while to return.
Such sparse information is naturally difficult to satisfy Mary's anxious and anxious heart, but considering that Grim has always trusted and respected Alice's choice, Mary also forced down her inner irritability and left angrily.
Alice stood silently in the drawing room for a moment, and then returned to her place with a faint sigh.
…………
Truth be told, the length and hardship of this confrontation was completely unexpected by Grim.
Five-year ...... Five long years have been consumed in this remote and desolate otherworldly place.
In the past five years, Grim has broken out of the lava fire pool countless times, fighting the four witch hunters to the death.
However, no matter how tricks he played, it was always difficult to hit any of the four people hard. In contrast, the four wizard hunters want to kill Grim, but they are also desperate and delusional.
The two sides confronted each other fiercely like this, from a fierce battle broke out in the previous three or five days, to a half-moon fight in the middle term, and then to a battle in the rest of the month...... The taste of the two sides is getting smaller and smaller, and they seem to know that they can't help each other, so the later battles are not so much a fight, but a really boring run out to move their muscles.
Grim is trapped under the volcano and can only open a small laboratory there. Sometimes I was busy and forgot the time, and I didn't show up for a month or two, and the four wizard hunters would take the initiative to come to visit.
The two sides went back and forth like this, and before you knew it, they had been fighting on the Gangsas volcano for five years!
In the past five years, Grim has certainly been tortured and exhausted, but the life of the four hunters of Natagu has not been easy.
For a bloodline wizard who prides himself on his extraordinary potential, the five years he has been trapped in the Enwick plane has been a great ordeal for him.
The magical energy in the environment here is no match for the wizarding world or the extraterrestrial. Meditating here every day, in addition to barely being able to recover from the loss of his own magical power, it is simply wishful thinking to make spiritual progress.
This is equivalent to the fact that the five years of Natago and a few others have been wasted in vain!
Besides, they couldn't get away from being trapped in the Gangsas volcano, and they couldn't collect any useful wizarding resources, let alone witchcraft experiments. Therefore, while Grim was physically and mentally exhausted, Natagu and the other four were suffering.
However, they were entrusted by the 'Lord', and they were obviously unwilling to capture and kill an inconspicuous fire witch, so they had to endure it day by day.
But as time passed, it became clear that the situation within the Envik plane had changed somewhat unexpectedly.
The paladins who had been recuperating for a long time were getting a little excited again!
Over the course of five years, the Paladins toppled the Witch Tower and hunted down the Witch Remnant all over the world.
Thanks to their hard work, it can be said that they have achieved fruitful results and outstanding achievements, and most of the fraudulent witches who escaped have been captured or killed by them, and cleaned up cleanly. Even if there are occasional fish that slip through the net, they all disappear and live in seclusion somewhere, and they no longer dare to come out to make waves.
Once the pressure of the witches was removed, the alien wizards entrenched in the vicinity of the Mount Gonzas became extremely dazzling.
Although Natago had a cooperation agreement with the Rank 4 Holy Knight, with the disappearance of the Witches of Deception, it seemed that there was no need for this agreement to continue. Therefore, during this time, there were suddenly a few more people near the Gangsas volcano, and five groups of adventurers had already broken into this place and died under the voodoo of the old poisonous woman.
On this day, Benija, a psychic warlock who was in charge of going out to buy daily necessities, returned to the camp covered in blood, and she also brought back bad news.
Due to the perennial 'eruption' of the Gangsas volcano, the surrounding towns and villages have become deserted. Beneda bought the supplies by running to a small town 170 miles away in disguise.
However, right there, a small deserted city with a population of less than 7,000, there was a group of high-level paladins stationed there, and the personnel entering and leaving were strictly checked and tested by magic.
If it's just a group of Black Iron Knights, with Benita's psychic sorcery, it's enough to trick them in the palm of their hands and they don't know it. However, to her surprise, there was ...... There is a 3rd Order Golden Knight!
