Chapter 0980 The Long Five Years
Wizard world, Destiny Tower.
Dragging her tired body, Alice just stepped out of the astrology hall, and the elf Helen rushed over.
"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 angrily, 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 the current mental exhaustion state to the peak state can be shortened by half. This is simply the best thing for most wizards who cherish time.
The reason why elemental elves are valued by so many wizards is that this is their value!
Bad woman?
Alice was slightly stunned, and then she realized that Mary was here.
As the owner of the Destiny Tower, Mary could not break into the upper level of the tower without Alice's permission.
Therefore, despite being extremely tired, Alice still dragged her sore body to the third floor of the tower to meet the furious Mary.
"What are you doing? Where did Grimm go?" Mary couldn't wait to ask as soon as they met: "Now, the Fabres family, the Entom family, the Denel family of Sandi Tallin... have all come to the door, asking Grimm to come out to solve the friction problems in the family territory. There are 4th-level wizards in their families, and they can't just fight like before. Whether it is war or peace, Grimm, the patriarch, must come out to make a decision..."
These days, Mary has been in charge of the family, and she is annoyed by these numerous and treacherous family affairs. Although Gargamel and Wen Lier handled internal affairs in an orderly manner, the family development is also booming. However, in the turbulent power vortex, the external challenges faced by the Crimson Family have not decreased in the slightest.
Even with the appearance of several high-level wizards from the Crimson Family, the external pressure they endured became greater and greater, with a dark cloud pressing down on the city.
Not to mention anything else, there have been dozens of frictions and disputes surrounding the Crimson Family territory during this period. Either a secular noble of a certain family was assassinated in the Crimson Territory, or a noble adjacent to the Crimson Territory started a war because of a trivial matter, or a certain force accused the Crimson Territory of harboring their fugitives...
Although most of these things are just secular affairs of the Crimson Territory and do not involve the level of the wizard family. However, so many disputes and troubles broke out at one time, which still made Gargamel and Wen Lier, who were in charge of family affairs, feel a little bit wrong.
You know, it has not been forty years since the Crimson Family launched the last wizard war, and that time they beat the coalition forces of five family forces and made them flee in panic. Now, there are external forces that are eyeing the Crimson Family again!
At Mary's command, the goblin forces affiliated with the Crimson Family quickly gathered intelligence.
This time, the Crimson Family was not targeted by the small families and small forces in the past, but by several large wizard families that shook the world with a stomp of their feet in Sanditalin.
The Fabres Family, the Entom Family, the Denel Family...
These prominent names are like pearls mixed in a pile of glass in the Sanditalin area in the central part of the continent, and their honor and glory are beyond description.
There are hundreds of wizard families in the central part of the continent, but no matter how they rise and fall, fight and die, the five major families are still standing at the forefront. The Fabres Family, the Entom Family, and the Denel Family are three of them.
Now, even they have set their sights on the Crimson Family. As the only two level 3 wizards in the family, Mary instantly felt the heavy pressure like a mountain.
But Mary is good at fighting and killing, but she is not good at this kind of private operation of resolving hatred in the midst of drinking and making agreements in the midst of singing and dancing. Therefore, the dragon man Zacha and the insect wizard Bilis were ordered by Mary to run around, and they used fierce force to repel one after another unknown enemy.
However, those secular nobles and low-level wizard families were just the minions and lackeys sent by the enemies behind the scenes to interfere with the Crimson Family. After repelling them, they still could not cut off the black hand behind the scenes.
If the Crimson Family was not protected by the 4th-level magic puppet dragon, I am afraid that some families would have been eager to declare war on it!
It was precisely because of these hidden worries that Mary wanted to find Grimm more urgently.
But unfortunately, she only knew that Alice had been to the Flame Throne some time ago, and then Grimm disappeared mysteriously. As for Grimm's real movements, she knew nothing.
Therefore, at this moment, she rushed to the Tower of Destiny and asked Alice about Grimm's whereabouts.
Alice only had a vague idea of Grimm's predicament in the Envik plane. However, even such simple information, she did not dare to reveal it to Mary easily.
Not for anything else, but for the "powerful enemy" who was always watching her!
If there were no clues, it would be difficult for Alice to understand what happened in the Envik plane, and that ‘woman’ could not know more than her and explore deeper. But if Alice casually revealed the situation there, even if she used fate witchcraft to cover it up afterwards, she still could not stop the other party from understanding her trump card through the development of the ‘world line’.
This is the strangeness and weirdness of the struggle of the fate witch!
Therefore, Alice could only tell Mary in a vague tone that Grimm was temporarily trapped in a different plane, but it was safe and sound, and he only needed to wait patiently for a while before he could return.
Such rough information naturally could not satisfy Mary's anxious heart, but considering that Grimm had always trusted and respected Alice's choice, Mary suppressed her inner irritability and left angrily.
Alice stood silently in the living room for a moment, and then returned to her residence with a faint sigh.
…………
To be honest, the length and hardship of this confrontation was completely beyond Grimm's expectations.
Five years... five long years, actually wasted in this remote and desolate alien world.
During these five years, Grimm rushed out of the lava pool countless times and fought life-and-death battles with the four hunting wizards.
However, no matter how many tricks he used, he could not seriously injure any of the four. In contrast, it was extremely difficult for the four hunting wizards to kill Grimm.
The two sides confronted each other fiercely, from a fierce battle that broke out every three to five days in the early stage, to a battle every half a month in the middle stage, and then to a contest every month or more later...the two sides were less and less interested in each other, and it seemed that they knew they could not do anything to each other, so the later battles were not so much a fight as a run out to stretch their muscles out of boredom.
Grimm was trapped under the volcano and could only open a small laboratory there. Sometimes, when they were so busy that they forgot the time and didn't show up for a month or two, the four hunting wizards would come to visit them.
The two sides kept going back and forth like this, and before they knew it, they had been fighting in the Gunsas Volcano for five years!
In the past five years, Grim was exhausted from the torture, but the four hunters of Natagu were not having an easy time either.
For a bloodline wizard who claimed to have outstanding potential, the five years of being trapped in the Envik plane were simply a huge torture for him.
The magical energy in the environment here is simply not comparable to that of the wizard world or the outside world. Meditation here every day, except for barely being able to recover the loss of one's own magic power, it is simply wishful thinking to want to make any spiritual progress.
This means that the five years of Natagu and others were wasted in vain!
Besides, being trapped in the Gunsas Volcano and unable to leave, they could not collect any useful wizard resources, let alone witchcraft experiments. Therefore, while Grimm was exhausted, Natagu and the other four were also suffering.
However, they were entrusted by the "adult", and they were obviously unwilling to be unable to capture and kill an inconspicuous fire witch, so they could only endure it day by day.
But as time went on, the situation inside the Envik plane obviously changed unexpectedly.
Those paladins who had been recuperating for a long time became eager to try again!
In the past five years, the paladins tore down the witch tower and then hunted down the remnants of witches all over the world.
With their hard work, it can be said that they have achieved fruitful results and outstanding achievements. Most of the escaped fraudulent witches were captured or killed by them and cleaned up. Even if there were occasional fish that slipped through the net, they disappeared and lived in seclusion somewhere, and never dared to come out to make trouble again.
Once the pressure brought by the witches was eliminated, this group of foreign wizards entrenched near the Gunsas volcano became extremely eye-catching.
Although Natagu and the 4th-level holy knight had a cooperation agreement, with the disappearance of the fraud witches, this agreement seemed to be unnecessary. Therefore, during this period of time, there were suddenly more people near the Gansas volcano. Five groups of adventurers had entered here and died under the voodoo of the old poison woman.
On this day, the psychic who was responsible for buying daily necessities returned to the camp covered in blood, and she also brought back bad news.
Due to the long-term "eruption" of the Gansas volcano, the surrounding towns and villages have been deserted. Beniga disguised her identity and ran to a small town 170 miles away to buy supplies.
However, there, a remote town with a population of less than 7,000, actually had a group of high-level paladins stationed there, and they also carried out strict inspections and divine arts tests on people entering and leaving.
If it was just a group of black iron knights, Beniga's psychic witchcraft would be enough to play with them without them knowing it. However, what she didn't expect was that... there was actually a 3rd level golden knight in charge!
