In the room, Gumbutz took a hot bath. As soon as he came out of the bathroom, there were panicked footsteps at the door.
He turned his head and looked around, just as the door was pushed open.
"Lord Gumbuz, what is going on? I saw many wizards leaving." Count Richman came over in a hurry, breathing heavily.
"I'm sorry, Count Richman, the Shimobone Forest summoned us back." Gumbuz said as he put on his gray robe.
"So, is the war over?" Count Richman's face showed joy.
Gumbuz pondered for a while and shook his head: "I'm afraid not."
"What should we do?" Richman asked.
"I suggest you leave here. There is no point in holding on to the Red Rock Castle now." Gumbuz picked up the knight's sword, passed Count Richman and walked out of the door.
Richman caught up and asked, "Lord Gumbuz, are you telling the truth?"
Gumbuz paused, thought for a while, and then said: "Gather all the knights and come to the conference hall immediately. I have something to say."
Count Richman was stunned for a moment and nodded repeatedly.
Ten minutes later, the conference hall of Red Rock Castle was crowded with knights. These knights gathered from all over Layafenni. Their purpose was simple, to make achievements and gain lands and titles.
When Gumbuz saw everyone gathered, he said: "I can't tell you the specific situation. I don't know what will happen to Rayafani in the end, but the Red Rock Castle, including the entire front line, will be lost."
As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately went into an uproar.
But as an invisible coercion descended, it filled the entire conference hall. Everyone was covered in sweat and even their breathing became disordered.
Gumbuz's eyes returned to normal. He looked at the knights and said: "I plan to recruit a group of followers. Now I want to ask your opinion, is there anyone willing to be my follower? Follow me, and I can guarantee that you will be a follower within ten years.
He became a wizard's apprentice."
The conference hall was silent.
After a long time, a young knight asked cautiously: "Commander Gumbuz, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course." Gumbuz took out a stack of blank witchcraft contracts, "We can sign a witchcraft contract. Once the contract is established, there is no possibility for both parties to go back on it."
An ordinary witchcraft contract only requires ten pieces of cloud iron. The binding force is effective for ordinary wizard apprentices, but has a mediocre effect on some powerful wizard apprentices. It is the kind that can be exempted by paying a certain price.
It can't be compared with the four contracts Griffith asked them to sign.
"I won't accept anyone who has a family, because I have a body..."
Gumbuz read out the conditions carefully.
In the end, there were more than twenty knights left on the scene. Gumbutz counted them and found that there were just a few more contracts. Based on the principle of not wasting, he also accepted a few older knights and followed them.
The number reaches thirty.
After everyone signed the contract, Gumbutz said: "Go back and pack your bags immediately. We will leave Red Rock Castle tonight."
Earl Richman cried sadly, "Lord Gumbuz, what you're doing...isn't good."
"They followed me voluntarily, what's wrong with that?" Gumbuz disagreed.
Richman hesitated to speak, and finally left with a sigh.
Gumbuz watched him leave calmly, which was the sadness of a little man, even though he didn't feel that he had done anything to regret Richman.
Even a nobleman from a mortal country, a high-ranking earl, can only be at the mercy of the apprentices who represent the wizard association.
The Red Rock Castle was empty of people overnight.
Earl Richman led his men back to their territory.
The knights from all over Layafenni also dispersed, going back to where they came from.
Two days later, Red Rock Castle was occupied by the Kain Kingdom.
After discovering that it was an empty city, the army marched non-stop inland.
...
"Lord Gumbuz, ahead is the mooring forest, where many tree apes live, as well as some small monsters."
Gumbutz looked down at the dense forest below and said, "Camp here."
The knights were very efficient, and soon the camp was set up.
Inside the camp, Gumbutz was carefully browsing a huge book.
"The heart of a tree ape is an organ that is very suitable for the human body. It has low rejection after transplantation. The apprentice who transplants the heart of the tree ape has an affinity for most magic plants and is the second best magic plant grower after goblins."
Gumbuz thought in his mind, "Let Parker, Trevor, and Kabine transplant the tree ape's heart. They are older and other organs are not suitable for them. Well... three implanters are enough."
Already."
Gumbutz put away his books and suddenly entered the practice room.
Looking at the four options embedded in the air.
Gumbutz chose "challenge" and challenged the robbers. As the world started to spin, he appeared on a grassland.
Half a man tall in the grass, there was a sneaky figure lurking toward him.
Little did he know that he had been discovered.
It's just that the opponent is too lazy to pay attention.
Gumbutz moved his lips, and as he read out a few syllables, there was a crisp sound, and a mysterious transparent light ball lit up like a light bulb, quickly flying into the old wizard's book suspended on his chest.
Gumbutz groaned, and a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The oath took effect.
The light group recorded in the wizard's book just now is actually a meditation method provided to apprentices in the Moist Bone Forest. In order to prevent the meditation method from being spread by informal apprentices, the meditation method itself swore to follow it on its own.
Once you teach it privately, you will be severely punished by the oath.
The vow of meditation does not actually lead to death.
Gumballs tested it and found that with his great knight's physique, he could recreate four light groups at once before he would die from organ failure.
A light group represents a meditation method, and there are also oaths automatically following it, which cannot be fundamentally broken.
Every time Gumbuz releases a ball of light, one is recorded in the wizard's book, and he can choose to teach it to anyone without suffering the punishment of the curse.
He has already accepted his punishment.
Gumbutz is not stupid either. He can only carve out three light groups at most at one time, then kill the robbers and return to the practice room. By then, his body will be back to its original state.
In addition to not understanding the power of the oath the first time, Gumbuz chose to do it on the dirt platform where he challenged the bandit captain. Now that he understood it, he chose the most efficient place to do it.
The grass ahead swayed slightly, and the robber had already touched Gumbutz's side. Just in time, his third light group had been recorded in the wizard's book.
Gumbuz breathed out and spat out the blood in his mouth. A wizard's hand suddenly grabbed the robber who rushed out and was about to stab him with a spear.
With a click, the robber died peacefully.
Soon, Gumbutz returned to the practice room.
He opened the wizard's book and saw thirty meditation methods recorded on the pages.
This is what Gumbuz prepared for his knights.
Gumbuz had no intention of violating the contract, and he still kept his promise to his followers.
In the years since I came to Shigu Forest, I have experienced many things. Gumbutz asked myself that he is not a good person, but he is not completely devoid of principles and bottom lines. Fortunately, I have a practice room. Please save it: (www.sodu777.net)
