With the holographic perspective of the chip, Grim can also vaguely detect the abnormality of the abdomen of dryad.
When fighting just now, dryad did show a weak and cowardly battle.
At first Grim thought that her nature was the same. Now I know that she is only trying to protect the 'fetus' in the abdomen, and dare not harden as usual.
Look at the black cat in your hand, look at the angered dryad in the distance and the desperate Gargamel, Grim can't decide for a while.
Did they kill them all, or did they use black cats to force them to serve themselves for a while?
Only hesitating three fingers, Grim decided.
"Serve me for thirty years, and I will let you go!"
dryad's eyes lighted and she was about to promise that Gargamel had stopped her.
"How can we believe that you won't make a difference?"
Apparently as Adept , Gargamel knows the greed and insidiousness of Adept , even himself.
"We can sign a fair and reasonable service contract. Depending on the constraints of the contract, you should always believe it?" Grim coldly smiled: "You better decide quickly. Once I found out that you want to delay time, hum Huh ... "
Gargamel heard the words threatened by the other side, he was very heavy, but still insisted: "We can serve you for thirty years, but you can't hit our children with a little idea ..."
The dryad Eva hiding behind Gargamel apparently has only taken this issue into consideration, and stared at Grim with horror.
Grim pity.
To be honest, he is really curious about the ‘little life’ that a Adept and monster gave birth to!
But for the longer-term future, Grim can only endure pain.
Grim does not intend to stay at Sarubo Clan forever. When the time is ripe, he will set his own banner and break away from Sarubo Clan. In order to do this, he must have a covert man secretly obeying his orders.
Only for this hazy ideal, Grim just desperately handed in Mary and Alice in order to pull them into their Faction. Although the Meryl has vague signs of moving closer to herself, she is also a Sarubo Clan's Adept after all. Once she leaves the family, it is unknown whether she will still follow her.
After all, one is Sandtalin Region, which is a well-known medium Adept Family, while the other is a family model with two or three soldiers. Compared with each other, it is obvious which side can provide her with more resources and greater power. of.
So, Grim didn't completely pull Meryl.
Even the Mary and Grim in Other World have no certainty to pull it into the already Faction! Seriously speaking, the only one who is clearly willing to join Grim Faction is Alice, which is far from North land.
From the analysis of these situations, Grim's current formation of Faction forces is still too thin and fragile. If the two guys Gargamel and dryad can join, even if they are half-hearted, they will still have a lot of benefits for the future strategic layout of Grim.
Considering this, Grim can only regret to give up that 'little life'!
Holding the black cat in one hand and completely imprisoning it, and using the empty space in the other hand, Grim worked out a fair, just and open Magic Contract without much effort. The clauses drafted therein did not add any discriminatory and oppressive clauses to the two, except to stipulate the rights, obligations and responsibilities of the two parties. They were loosely similar to the Equal Partnership Treaty.
This undoubtedly makes Gargamel and dryad Eva look at each other, some can't believe their eyes.
Having researched this contract for a long time, it was determined that it did not contain any fraudulent means and hidden terms, and there were no misleading language traps. Only Gargamel and Eva incorporated the suspicion of the soul into it.
When the contract was established, the articles written in flame rune also slowly dissipated in the air, and all three felt the subtle changes in the soul.
Adept World has no **** of contract, and Adept will not dedicate their loyalty to any Revered God, so most of the witnesses of the contract are the great and fair World's Will. As long as within Adept World, anyone who violates Magic Contract is destined to be spurned by World's Will and backlash.
This punishment is unwilling for any Adept !
Grim's big hand is slightly stretched, and the lava big hand of the tight black cat is loosened, and the entire body also slowly shrinks during the violent Fire Element shock. Since it is no longer an enemy, there is no need to continue to maintain the Flame Fiend form. After all, the blasting flame energy of Heart of Flame Fiend is also a heavy burden on the Grim's body!
The black cat flashed to Gargamel's feet almost immediately after breaking away from the puppet, plunging into the shadow and never showing up again.
Gargamel hesitated for a moment, a embarrassing look appeared on the dark face, and whispered, "Master, I don't know why you came to the Black Forest this time?"
dryad Eva also showed a curious look on one side.
To be honest, guys such as Grim who are violently possessing the power of elite Adept do not look like a downcaster who needs to come out and collect materials by themselves. So the two were curious about the purpose of Grim's.
Because of Magic Contract, Grim now trusts them far more than the rest. Therefore, in the face of Gargamel's inquiry, he no longer concealed it.
"I found out through some hidden channels that there is an available underground volcano in this black forest. The general orientation is ... I don't know what clues you can have?"
Gargamel has no clue about this, and the two of them can only turn their heads to dryad Eva.
She is a jungle monster. She has been wandering in this black forest for hundreds of years, so she is familiar with the situation everywhere. It is undoubtedly most appropriate to ask her for directions.
Sure enough, dryad Eva's face immediately showed thought and hesitation.
"I'm vaguely familiar with the coordinates you said. There seems to be a manticore family with about eleven heads. Seven of them have the strength of Adept level, and the small four have Pseudo-Adept level and other strength. "
manticore?
Grim was faint, and as soon as I thought about it, the data stored in the chip database was extracted.
manticore, flying creature, is a terrible monster with the characteristics of bats, lions and scorpions. It has a lion head, scorpion tail, quadrupeds, bat wings, and usually fights like a lion. The bat wings behind it allow it to glide at low altitudes and short distances, but its most terrible attack weapon is the scorpion tail behind it.
The toxins impregnated on the minions of manticore have deadly lethality, but the scorpion tail behind it has terrifying paralysis effects in addition to being poisonous. The antidote formulated by Adept is okay to resist toxins. It can be used against paralysis but is completely useless.
So once Adept is trapped in the siege of manticore, it is likely to be continuously paralyzed by the opponent, and the opponent will be torn to pieces without the chance of resistance.
But the other poison and paralysis effects are not effective for Magic Puppets, which is great news!
When Grim slowly contributed some of the information it knew about manticore, dryad Eva's face showed envy.
The reason why human Adept is powerful can be clearly understood from this point.
dryad Eva's understanding of manticore relies on **** battles. Any intuitive experience can only be obtained after paying a bitter price. And human Adept relies on generations of knowledge inheritance, they just mentioned a name, they can quickly dig out useful information from the knowledge system.
Even if they haven't reached each other yet, they can make a response plan in advance and prepare enough means. This is prepared, as long as there are no major accidents, they can easily take advantage of the contact with monster
In many cases, the quantity and quality of monster is much higher than that of human Adept , but it can only become their free hunting target. This is probably the main reason!
Grim can slowly feel the feeling of dryad Eva at this moment without feeling, and can't help asking about the topography near the manticore nest. After listening to Eva's answer, he has seven or eight minutes to grasp that there is the underground volcano entrance he wants to find.
However, it ’s a big deal. As for whether it ’s true or not, we need to go there in person to determine.
Until everything was discussed, Grim let Gargamel detoxify Sablina's body and awaken her from the coma. In order to avoid exposing the relationship between the two parties, dryad Eva avoided in advance, while Gargamel docilely stood behind Grim.
After waking up, the two sides of the battle have shaken hands, and the monster is missing. Although Sablina knows that there must be strange things in it, it can only be deeply buried in the heart, and never dare to ask more questions.
The things between Adept are by no means her Pseudo-Adept.
The more you know, the greater the danger, so Sablina chose wisely.
…………
At dawn, the three returned smoothly to camp.
Compared with Grim's without any injuries, Gargamel and Sablina are quite embarrassing, and even had to pull up hood to cover the burn marks on the face.
I saw a few people returning smoothly, and the others seemed quite happy. Only the potion apprentice pupil named Anthony had a hint of concealment in his eyes.
He is a disciple of Gargamel Adept . Obviously he knows some of the teacher's plans in advance. Seeing the three returning together at this moment was naturally a big surprise and looked a little panicked.
But for such a small person, Grim is too lazy to take care of it, and everything is left to Gargamel.
So everyone took a short break. After eating the breakfast prepared by Neil, they set off again!
