After a month of long waiting, the expected shoe finally landed.
The service contract signed by Greem and the Salupo family lasted for a hundred years. Now it has been ten years. It can be regarded as passing the protection period of the new wizard and becoming an official wizard of the family. Therefore, the family's mandatory mission
It just came one after another.
If it is what Meryl revealed before, Greem will be sent to Gilneas City, which is closest to the conflict area. There is an iron ring mining site belonging to the Salubo family to produce high-quality blue moonstone and
Topaz is famous.
Of course, there is also a family's secondary resource point nearby, which is also a target that the stationed wizard needs to protect.
According to past rules, Greem, as the resident wizard sent by the family, needs to maintain the basic security of these two areas. Their daily production is usually handled by another group of specialized quasi-witches and senior apprentices, but Greem does not need
Waiting there every step of the way.
However, when there are problems in resource points and mines that cannot be solved by the guardian force, Greem, the resident wizard, must step in to expel or kill those wizard-level enemies that threaten resource collection.
Therefore, in normal times, Greem can stay in the bustling and bustling city of Gilneas and spend his days leisurely. The apprentice chief who is guarding the general minor troubles will solve it by himself. Only when facing wizard-level enemies will he send someone to ask him to take charge.
Therefore, this kind of garrison mission can almost be regarded as a good job, except that it is not very free.
After all, it is close to the resource point, and the local managers and local nobles must be using various tricks to please the resident wizards like Greem. As long as he is willing, it is no problem to have wine and meat every day, and party and carnival every day. And every certain time,
The managers of several resource points and mines must have additional resources to offer. This is all tacitly understood, so it is also a basic benefit for the resident wizard.
But these were things in peacetime, and the current situation is obviously different.
Not long ago, the head apprentice of the Iron Ring Excavation Site, a quasi-witch named Thacker, had a conflict with a quasi-witch from the nearby Axi family when he was out collecting resources, and 'accidentally' killed him.
As a result, the deep-seated conflict between the Salubo family and the Aki family exploded in an instant!
Of course, in private, the top leaders of the Sarupo family and the Yaxi family must have begun to contact each other secretly, arguing about topics such as 'revenge' and 'compensation'. But with Sanazha's fiery temper, how could he easily
Agree to the other party's conditions, hand over Thacker, and compensate for resources.
Therefore, when the two sides are quarreling endlessly, the frontier of the family has become a powder keg, and it is likely to become the target of revenge by the other party.
Although the killing between wizards is strictly prohibited in the Sand Tallin area, if there is a perfect excuse, then the bosses of the Wizards Association will turn a blind eye and not participate in the dispute between the two wizard families.
in friction'.
In view of the tense situation near Gilneas City, there was an urgent need for a powerful combat wizard to take charge, so it was logical that Grim, the 'thorn head', was sent there.
The Salupo family only gave Greem twenty days to prepare.
For more than twenty days, Grim has not appeared in Gilneas City, and the second-level wizard Fulgen, who is in charge of the Sarupo family, is going to have a 'heart-to-heart' with him.
As for the safety of Greem's own witch tower, no one has ever mentioned this.
The Sarupo family's territory is so large that he didn't even make a choice. Instead, he rooted his witch tower in a wild black forest. This has obviously caused dissatisfaction among the family's top brass. This forced family mission is a slap on his face.
.
A normal wizard will have two to three different choices when faced with a mandatory task from his family, and then freely choose one according to his own preferences and time.
Usually this kind of garrison mission takes two years at a time, and he can arrange and act on his own in the remaining three years. He will not move on to the next round until the expiration of five years.
Unfortunately, this time it was a mandatory task assigned to Greem by Master Sanazha herself, so even if he was dissatisfied, Greem did not have the courage to argue with him.
After receiving the mission document from the family, Grim could only try his best to start arranging the internal affairs of the Witch Tower.
This time he may be away for a longer time, and the security work and internal development around the Wu Tower need to be properly arranged. And before leaving, he needs to clean up the 'thorns' that pose a threat to the Wu Tower!
…………
The Giant Elephant is a powerful monster with a strong sense of territory.
Once they have defined a territory, they will roam around there all the time. Any powerful creature that enters their territory will be attacked wildly by a herd of giant savage elephants.
In contrast, those weak creatures will not arouse their vigilance and attack.
Therefore, it is impossible for you to find other monsters in the giant elephant living area!
In the dark forest shrouded in night, densely packed giant trees stretch into the sea.
Each giant tree is tens of meters high, and its dense branches and leaves cover the sky. It is almost impossible to see anything on the ground when flying from the sky.
According to the information provided by Unguja, Greem rode on the back of the manticore leader, and under the cover of the huge night, quickly slid along the forest tops towards the area where the giant elephants lived.
Due to the cover of the giant tree canopy, even with Greem's vision and perception, it is difficult to peek into the secrets under the dense branches and leaves. However, hovering above the dark forest sea, Greem can always catch some abnormalities in the canopy with his keen vision.
Jitter.
The night wind whistled by my side.
The manticore leader's broad bat wings spread out, and he could easily shuttle over the forest and sea with the help of the wind.
Greem looked around and soon discovered several anomalies in the undulating black forest. It seemed that some giant beast was passing through the forest, and the giant trees that collided with it couldn't stop trembling.
Greem gently patted the manticore leader beneath him, and the man immediately turned his body in understanding, spread his wings and glided towards there.
When approaching there, the manticore leader withdrew his bat wings, leaned down slightly, used his tough body to knock away the dense branches and leaves blocking the way, and plunged into the dark forest.
After rushing into the forest, the leader of the manticore unfolded his bat wings again, and glided back and forth between the tall ancient trees with flexible and vigorous movements. Every now and then, he would stop on a thick tree branch, scanning the strange things with his sharp eyes.
The forest world.
Boom...
A giant elephant as tall as a hill slowly patrolled the territory. With its huge body, every step it took made the ground tremble.
Suddenly, its long nose raised high, its huge body turned around with incredible agility, and its blood-red eyes stared at the darkness in the distance.
There seems to be a dangerous atmosphere hidden there that disgusts it!
roar……
The giant elephant raised its thick front legs and trampled heavily on the ground under its feet. Its thick and long trunk swung from side to side, making several big trees around it tremble. And two of them curved in huge arcs and shot forward.
His fangs scraped against the giant tree, causing sawdust to fly, and the bark peeled off, revealing the white wood stubble underneath.
As a monster that likes to stick to its territory, the giant elephant raises its trunk and lets out a threatening roar to demonstrate to the opponent. If the creature in the dark leaves on its own initiative, it will continue to patrol the territory as if it has not seen it.
After all, this terrible danger intuition made it understand that the guy it met today was not something that could be easily provoked. However, its 'good intentions' were obviously not understood by anyone. Instead of leaving, the creature in the dark stepped towards it.
come over.
Boom boom boom...
Without any hesitation, the giant savage elephant immediately launched a death charge, leaning down slightly, burying its head, pointing its two sharp fangs at the opponent, and rushed towards the person walking in the darkness with heavy, rumbling steps.
A humanoid creature.
The other person was a human, wearing a black robe, with strong elemental fluctuations rippling through his body.
This allowed him to recognize it immediately, it was a human wizard!
Although when they moved here, the leader of the giant elephant had already learned that a wizard tower of human wizards had appeared nearby. However, with the stubborn idea of "don't disturb the river", the leader of the giant elephant still chose to set up his home here.
During this period of time, many surrounding monsters came to try to win over it, but the leader of the giant elephant strictly restrained his men and did not allow them to easily step out of the territory. Unfortunately, its efforts were still in vain. It refused to go
Looking for trouble with human wizards, but human wizards found it!
Filled with rage and bloodthirsty rage, the giant elephant leader was like a moving mountain of meat, knocking over two or three large trees that were in the way, and rushed towards Greem with an unstoppable and brave attitude.
Greem, shrouded in black robes, raised his head, and two dazzling red lights lit up under the deep shadow of the hood. He held a witch staff in his left hand, stretched his right hand forward, and a terrifying red flame shot out from his palm.
It came out, crossed a distance of thirty meters, and hit the exposed skull of the giant elephant leader head-on.
Sigh...
The strange sound of crazy burning flesh was heard.
A thin protective force field appeared around the giant elephant leader, briefly blocking the flame stream in Greem's hand, and then its huge body rushed past the place where Greem was hiding like a runaway train.
Huge flames rose.
Greem's 'thin' body disappeared under the thick iron hooves of the giant elephant leader, and when he reappeared, he stood proudly on the opponent's broad back.
A huge ball of lava and fire kept gathering in his palm.
When the fire element was so strong that even he could no longer control it, Greem flicked his wrist and threw it hard at the head of the giant elephant leader, and he disappeared in the flames again.
Bang...
There was an earth-shattering explosion.
Terrifying fire shock waves and sky-high fire waves erupted in the silent black forest.
In the blink of an eye, a huge space of twenty to thirty meters in radius was engulfed in a sea of fire!
