Age of Adepts

With the holographic perspective of the chip, Grim can also perceive the abnormality of the dryad’s abdomen.

When fighting, the dryad did show a weak battle.

Originally, Grim thought that her nature was so. Now she knows that she just wants to keep the ‘fetus’ in her abdomen, and she doesn’t dare to come as hard as usual.

Look at the black cat in your hand, and look at the angry, anxious dryad and the ruined Gargamel in the distance. Grim couldn’t make up his mind for a moment.

Did they kill them all, or did they use black cats to force them to serve themselves for a while?

Just hesitating for three fingers, Grim made up his mind.

“Take me for 30 years, I will let you go!”

Dryad’s eyes shined, just want to promise, Gargamel has blocked her.

“How can we believe that you will not go back on one’s word?”

Obviously, as Adept, Gargamel knows the greed and insidiousness of Adept, and even he himself is such a person.

“We can sign a fair and reasonable service contract. By the constraints of the contract, you should always believe it?” Grim coldly smiled: “You better decide. Once I realize that you want to delay the time, hehe… …”

Gargamel heard the threatening words from the other side, but he still insisted: “We can serve you for 30 years, but you can’t beat our children.”

Dryad Eva, hiding behind Gargamel, apparently considered this issue now, and immediately stared at Grim with horror.

Grim regrets the grin.

To be honest, he is really curious about the ‘little life’ bred by Adept and monster!

But for a longer-term future, Grim can only reluctantly cut love.

Grim is not going to stay in Sarubo Clan forever. When the time is ripe, he will play his own banner and leave Sarubo Clan. In order to achieve this, he must have a hidden man who can obey his command in the dark.

For this embarrassing ideal, Grim was desperately handed over to Mary and Alice, just to pull them into their own Faction. Although Meryl has vague signs of moving closer to herself, she is also Adept of Sarubo Clan. Once she is out of the family, whether she is willing to follow herself becomes an unknown.

After all, one is the medium-sized Adept Family, which is famous in the Sandtalin Region, and the other is a family prototype with two or three soldiers. In contrast, which side can provide her with more resources and greater power is obvious. .

Therefore, Grim not at all completely takes Meryl away.

Even Mary, who is in Other World, doesn’t have a 10% confidence to pull it into the Faction! Seriously, the only one who is clearly willing to join Grim Faction is Alice, who is far away from North land.

From these analysis, Grim’s current Faction forces are still too thin and fragile. If Gargamel and Dryad are able to join, even if they are half-hearted, Grim’s future strategic layout will still have a lot of benefits.

With this in mind, Grim can only regret giving up that ‘little life’!

With a black cat in one hand, it was completely imprisoned, and one hand took the lead, and Grim did not take much effort to develop a fair, just and open Magic Contract. In addition to the powers, obligations and responsibilities of the parties, not only do they attach any discriminatory and oppressive clauses to the two parties, but they are loosely similar to the Equal Partnership Treaty.

This undoubtedly makes Gargamel and dryad Eva look at each other in dismay, some can’t believe their eyes.

I took this contract for a long time, determined that it did not contain any fraudulent methods and hidden terms, and there was no misleading language trap. Gargamel and Eva would be suspicious of incorporating the soul brand.

When the contract was established, the provisions written with the flame rune slowly dissipated in the air, and the three men vaguely felt the subtle changes in the soul.

Adept World has no god of contract, and Adept will not dedicate their loyalty to any of Revered God, so most of the contract witnesses are great and fair World’s Will. As long as you are within Adept World, any guy who violates Magic Contract is destined to be spoiled by World’s Will and backlash.

This punishment is not acceptable to any Adept!

Grim’s big hand twitched, loosening the lava hand of the tight black cat, and the whole body slowly shrank in the violent Fire Element oscillation. Since it is no longer an enemy, there is no need to continue to maintain the Flame Fiend form. After all, the flame energy of the Heart of Flame Fiend is also a heavy burden for Grim’s body!

The black cat flashed to the foot of Gargamel almost at the moment of leaving the cockroach, and no longer appeared in the shadow.

Gargamel hesitated, and a smug expression appeared on the haze of the face, whispering: “Master, I don’t know what you came to the Black Forest for?”

Dryad Eva also reveals a curious expression on one side.

To be honest, guys like Grim who are violent and have the power of elite Adept don’t look like they are the ones who need to come out and collect materials. So the two were not too curious about Grim’s purpose.

Thanks to Magic Contract, Grim now has more trust in them than the rest of the world. So in the face of Gargamel’s inquiry, he is no longer concealed.

“I have discovered through some hidden ways. There is an underground volcano in the Black Forest. The general orientation is… I don’t know what clues you can have about this?”

Gargamel doesn’t have any clues about this, the two can only turn to look towards towards dryad Eva.

She is a jungle monster. She has been wandering for a hundred years in this Black Forest, so she is familiar with the situation everywhere. It is undoubtedly the most appropriate to ask her.

Sure enough, dryad Eva’s face immediately revealed a thought and hesitation expression.

“The coordinates you said I am vaguely familiar. There seems to be a manticore family, there are about eleven heads, of which the adult seven have the strength of the Adept level, and the small four have the Pseudo-Adept level. “”

Manticore ?

Grim was slightly stunned, and in his mind, the data stored in the chip database was extracted.

Manticore, flying creature, is a terrifying monster that combines the characteristics of bats, lions, and scorpions. It has a lion’s head, an appendix, four feet, a batwing, and usually fights like a lion. The batwing behind it allows it to fly low-altitude and short-range, but its most terrifying attack weapon is the tail behind it.

The toxins impregnated on the manticore’s minions have a lethal lethality, but the appendix behind it also possesses terrifying numbness effects in addition to the poison. The antidote formulated by Adept is also good for toxins, but it is completely useless to deal with paralytic effects.

Therefore, once Adept is trapped in the siege of manticore, it is likely that he will be paralyzed by the other party, and even the chance of rebellion will not be torn apart by the other party.

However, the other’s toxins and paralysis effects are ineffective for Magic Puppets, which is a great news!

When Grim slowly contributed some of the manticore intelligence he knew, dryad Eva had an enviable expression on his face.

The power of human Adept is so clear that it can be seen from this point.

Dryad Eva’s understanding of manticore relies on a bloody battle. Any intuitive experience can only be obtained after a painful price. Human Adept, with its knowledge of inheritance from generation to generation, has just mentioned a name, and they can quickly extract useful information from the knowledge system.

Even if they haven’t touched each other, they can prepare a solution in advance and prepare enough methods. This is well prepared, as long as there are not too many accidents, they are easy to take advantage of the contact with the monster.

In many cases, the number and quality of monsters are much higher than human Adept, but they can only be the hunting target of their do as one pleases. This may be the main reason!

Grim didn’t have the mood to slowly understand the feelings of dryad Eva at this moment, and instead asked about the topography near the manticore’s lair. After listening to Eva’s answer, he has seven or eight points to grasp the underground volcano entrance that he is looking for.

However, it is a big matter. As for whether it is or not, you need to go there and go there to determine.

It wasn’t until everything was negotiated that Grim let Gargamel remove the toxin from Sablina and wake her up from a coma. In order to avoid the relationship between the two sides, dryad Eva avoided it in advance, and Gargamel stood steadily behind Grim.

A ‘conscious’ wakes up, the two sides of the battle have shaken hands, and the monster is not known. Although Sablina knows that there must be flaws in it, he can only bury himself deeply in his heart and never dare to ask more questions.

The thing between Adept is not something that she can participate in with a Pseudo-Adept!

The more you know, the greater the danger, so Sablina wisely chose silence.

…………

Near the dawn, the three returned smoothly to the camp.

Gargamel and Sablina are quite embarrassed compared to Grim’s unscathed, and even have to pull up the hood to cover the burn marks on the face.

Seeing a few people coming back smoothly, the rest of the people looked quite happy, only the potion apprentice called Anthony had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He is the discipline of Gargamel Adept, and obviously knows some of Teacher’s plans in advance. At this moment, seeing the three people returning together is naturally a big surprise, and the expression is a bit flustered.

But for such a nobody, Grim is too lazy to take care of it, and everything is naturally left to Gargamel.

Therefore, everyone simply took a break, and after eating the breakfast prepared by Neil, they set foot on the journey again!
