Chapter 0444: The Dark Tide is surging
Ferdinand, Wizard's Tower.
Meryl left Wizard Fogen's lab with an angry face.
Today is the beginning of the class, a group of wizard apprentices hurried to the witchcraft hall with witchcraft books in their arms, and met the always generous Wizard Meryl hurriedly hid on both sides of the corridor and bowed down.
If it had been in the past, Meryl would have returned the favor with a gentle smile. But today she was in such a bad mood that she could no longer keep the smile on her face, and she returned to her residence in a rage.
Meryl's strange appearance apparently also aroused the concern of many wizard apprentices, and after she rushed over, they all gathered together, and you and I gossiped one by one.
Most wizard apprentices are of course ignorant of what is going on outside, but there are always some human spirits inside. Although they have not seen it with their own eyes, nor have they heard any definite news, they can always estimate the whole thing by clues.
Listening to them swear and say some things that catch the wind and shadows with their noses and eyes, people have to admire. Sometimes conspirators really don't distinguish between big and small, strong or weak, and calculating people is always a routine!
While their discussion was in full swing, Wizard Kogan, who was in charge of teaching today, appeared at the end of the corridor.
"It's almost time, what are you doing here? Why don't you go to class......?"
In the reprimand of Wizard Kogan with a straight face, the group of wizard apprentices immediately dispersed and bowed away.
After all the apprentices had left, Wizard Kogan suddenly sighed and walked slowly towards the hall of witchcraft.
As the core wizard of the family, his strength may not be the strongest among the official wizards, but he has enough loyalty to the Sarubo family. Of course, he was well aware of the turmoil between the upper echelons of the family and Grim, but he was powerless to change anything.
Kogan had the most contact with that Grim, and he admired the other party's planning and combat power. The other two wizards who were promoted to the rank with Grim, Mary the Bloody Witch and Entic the Evil Worm, were also gifted. If those two weren't on the battlefield of the different planes, I'm afraid their prestige in the family would not be any weaker than Grim's.
If the Sarubo family can completely hold these three new wizards in their hands, the strong expansion of the family in the wizarding continent is something to be expected. On this basis, if that Sanaza-sama could advance to the 4th rank within a hundred years, then the Sarubo family might even leap to a large family that was rare in the middle of the continent in one fell swoop.
At that time, the Sarubo family will be able to occupy a fixed seat in the Scattered Tallinn Wizards' Association, and they will no longer be thugs and pawns who can only bow down to orders.
But a powerful wizard must have great ambitions!
By all indications, it was clear that the Grim wizard was not willing to be confined to the Sarubo family. Although he signed a 100-year contract with Lord Sarupo, what he did was clearly paving the way for a future of solo action.
This...... It will undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction and suppression at the top of the family.
Everything that happened in the distant city of Gilneth, he received countless pieces of information every day, and he knew very well about the development of the situation there. It was a swamp of nightmares that could engulf any genius, and it had been formed by the deliberate or unintentional impetus of the family's higher-ups.
Whether that Grim enters the game or not, I'm afraid what awaits him will be a series of suppressions that have already been arranged by the family's top management.
If he is captured by the Yanu family, the family will definitely borrow the slope to get off the donkey and 'ransom' him back in an open exchange. In this way, the strong image of Grim that has been operating all along, has collapsed.
This should be able to kill his ambition to go out and go it alone!
Even if he didn't enter the game, the situation in the entire Gilneth City would have completely fallen, and he would not be able to escape the doubts and sanctions within the family. The name of 'fear of the enemy and cowardice' is placed on his head, and it is enough to overwhelm him for decades.
No one is willing to discard a powerful thug like Grim, but he can't be left to his will, so the necessary suppression is still needed. It's just that the intensity of the suppression needs to be just right, otherwise it is easy to cause the other party to complain.
Meryl just went to Wizard Fogen to do something, and Kogan could guess even if he wasn't on the spot. And from Meryl's reaction, you can also see what Wizard Fogen's answer is. However, he clearly disagreed with the rough handling of the Wizard of Fogen.
Since Meryl felt sorry for her teacher and wanted to take the initiative to ask Ying to go to Gilneth City for reinforcements, why not just agree to her, and even let her bring a few apprentices. In this way, it can also alleviate the other party's suspicion that 'the family refuses to reinforce'!
As a new wizard, this Meryl has little combat experience, and if she goes, not only will she not be able to help that Grim, but it will seriously drag him down. Why not do such a good thing?
It's a pity that Wizard Fogen is too old and stiff, and he only knows how to resolutely carry out Sanaza's instructions, but he doesn't know how to adapt. In this way, wouldn't it be confirmed in the hearts of the Grim family that the family was deliberately targeting their 'rumors'?
In this way, even if the suppression of Grim is successful in the future, the other party will be able to willingly extinguish his ambitions?
I'm afraid that most of them hide their resentment in their hearts!
Cough......
Silently pondering, Wizard Kogan shook his head and walked away.
…………
Gilneth City.
If the distant city of Federnand is turbulent, then the city of Gilneth at this moment is already in dire straits!
The apprentices stationed at the Iron Ring Excavation Site and the Level 2 Resource Point have all been injured and fled back to the Bluestone Tower, but not including Grim's four apprentices. As for the two apprentices, only one Yuri returned, and the Morse apprentice who was responsible for guarding the resource point also disappeared with the fall of the resource point.
Returning to the stone tower with the apprentices was a small box containing a bloody severed human hand. It was identified by the apprentices as one of Grim's apprentices.
Although he didn't develop a deep relationship with these apprentices, even if they were all killed, Grim would not shed a single tear. But this kind of slapping his face with the red fruit still deeply stimulated him.
Even when this happened, after briefly meeting and appeasing the apprentices, Grim still did not mention the words of revenge, but returned to the second floor of the stone tower alone.
Looking at Grim's distant back, the group of wounded soldiers lying or lying in the hall on the first floor couldn't help but complain. A few hot-tempered people couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "Fire Demon...... Fire Demon ...... Hey ......"
Sabrina, who was helping them deal with their injuries, looked calm and seemed unconscious, but the young Billis obviously couldn't stand all this, and angrily defended: "Adults also have the difficulties of adults, this is obviously a conspiracy of the other party, what's the use of you complaining like this?"
"Conspiracy? What conspiracy? There was only one water wizard who tossed us around from beginning to end, and we didn't see any other wizard. The answer was Yuri's quasi-witch, and he was the only one here who was qualified to teach Bilis: "There is only one wizard sent by the enemy, if Lord Grim is willing to come forward, how can he not let him occupy the pits and resource points......"
"You ......"
"What are you ......" Several apprentices with severed limbs had to greatly destroy the magic crystal, so their tone was not good: "What are you hiding behind when we are fighting the enemy to the death in front?"
"yes, he's so hard-mouthed, so I'll send him to the resources to get some ......."
"Don't dare to fight the enemy, but here you accuse us, hum ......"
In the face of the gossip of the apprentices, Billis's face turned red, and he could only try to defend his idol: "Lord Grim is not the kind of person you think, he will definitely come up with a solution...... You wait a little longer......"
"Wait...... Now that the pits and resource points are lost, what are we waiting for?"
Sabrina gently put down the healing potion in her hand, stood up, and scanned it coldly with her scarlet mechanical eyes, until the apprentices stopped talking, and then she turned back and dragged Bilis out of the hall.
"Sabrina, do you believe them too?Do you think Master Grimm is the kind of person who is a coward?......" Billis asked softly, still indignant.
Sabrina didn't turn back, let go of Bilis, and walked to the spiral stone staircase on her own.
Before she could ascend the stone staircase, she stopped, as if to reply, as if to say to herself, "They are wizards!"
"Wizard, what's wrong with wizards?" Billis was puzzled, "Wizards don't think the same way we do?"
It's a pity that no one can answer him.
…………
Of course, the disturbances downstairs can't hide Grim's mental perception.
The apprentices were full of grievances and resentment, he could ignore them, but he couldn't help them!
These wizards of the Yanu family have gone too far, and in order to force themselves out, they even did the thing of forcibly seizing resource points. You must know that although the two families are a little dirty, they have not yet declared war after all. The other party takes it without telling it, which is a big taboo in the middle of the continent!
If the Sarubo family is willing to give up this bit of face and bring in the people of the Sandi Tallinn Wizards' Association to judge it, the Yanu family will definitely have to pay the price. It's just that in this way, the Sarubo family is equivalent to announcing their weakness to the entire scattered Tallinn region, and they can't even repel the enemy's attack, and they still need outside intervention.
This is undoubtedly a huge creation for the prestige of the Sarupo family!
So the other party's reckless behavior also forced Grim to have no way out, and made him secretly hate.
"Chip, how long will it take for the data model?" asked this time, Grim's tone couldn't help but bring a hint of coldness.
"Drop, 7 hours, 23 minutes, 15 seconds......"
Grim slammed his fist on the stone wall, gritted his teeth and sneered: "Then I'll give you another day to be arrogant......"
