The alchemy spacecraft in the Shimobone Forest flew for one day and two nights. On the first night, Gumbutz found that those strange sounds disappeared.
This means that they left the wet bone forest range.
In the past, Gombots never understood why the Wizards' Association of Shimobone Forest wanted to build its territory in a place where there was no peace every night.
But if what Griffith said is true, then it seems understandable that the Moist Bone Forest serves as the guardian of the god's tomb and the wizard serves as the tombkeeper.
He didn't know the secrets hidden here, and what mission the Shimobone Forest carried, but all of this actually had nothing to do with him.
Gumbuz knew exactly what he wanted.
Don't want to get involved in some disputes for no apparent reason.
Although Griffith's threat this time was not Gumbuz's will, the wizard who had been pretending to be an apprentice actually brought him huge benefits.
There are four bottles of "Fairy Potion" in total.
With his previous wealth, he would not be able to afford a bottle of "Fairy Potion" even if he used up the last cloud iron.
Gumbuz did not take the potion immediately.
The aftereffects of the last time he took it are still fresh in his memory.
His spirit will indeed increase significantly, but his physical fitness may continue to decline.
Maybe the fall this time was not as bad as last time.
Because he transplanted Ofra's eyes, his body already has the qualifications of a wizard.
But now Gumbutz is here to escape and must preserve his strength.
The spaceship stopped over a fortress, only for a short time. When Captain Gavil led everyone into the fort and summoned people to carry all the supplies on the ship, the spaceship left.
"Gombuz, there will be a meeting tonight. I plan to appoint you as the commander of the Knight Legion. I don't know what you want."
Gavir arranged duties for Gumbuz in advance.
Gumbuz did not refuse;
"Since you are the captain of this mission, I will obey your arrangements."
Gavir is very useful. In terms of strength alone, Gumbutz is undoubtedly the strongest member of their team, but the battlefield is not about fighting. In mortal war, the great knight may be invincible, but there are wizard apprentices on both sides. , or even in the case of a wizard, the role of the great knight will be greatly weakened.
Sometimes, it's not even as good as a well-prepared wizard apprentice.
However, Gumbuz is not just a great knight, he is also a wizard apprentice.
Based on these, Gavel felt it necessary to give this temporary comrade some necessary positions.
As for coordinating the overall situation, it is still him.
The red rock fortress is located on the border of Rayafani, separated from the Kingdom of Kain by only a large canyon.
night.
"Our mission is simple, win this war."
Gavel spread out a map, "Of course, victory cannot depend on just a few dozen of us, but as the first supporting team, we belong to the vanguard. Our first task is to find out the movement of the cross obelisk and defend the red rock fortress. It won’t fall.”
"Leave the task of detecting intelligence to Hagrid. Your familiar can fly and also has certain invisibility. It is best at detection. I will give you five more wizard apprentices and five knights."
"Leave the logistics to Vicki. You need to ask the Earl of Red Rock Castle for the manpower yourself. Remember, you only need to be responsible for the logistics of the fifty-eight of us. In addition to food, the most important thing is the distribution of strategic supplies. ....."
"In addition, Gumbutz is special. He is a great knight. I plan to let him command all the knights in the entire Red Rock Castle. When necessary, the knight army led by Gumbutz will be the sharpest sword in our hands."
After making the most basic arrangements, Gavel began to make some arrangements for the next battle.
Since the enemy's movements are not yet clear, arrangements for patrolling, defense, and reconnaissance can only be made.
After the meeting, Gumbuz and Vicki, the wizard apprentice in charge of the later period, found the Earl of Red Rock Castle and Earl Richman.
Towards the end of the night, Gumbuz finally returned to the temporary room.
After the door was closed, Gumbutz silently counted the time. Two days and two nights had passed, almost.
With a decision in his mind, Gumbutz immediately entered the training room and chose to challenge the 'Robber Captain'.
The scene changes, it’s still the dirt platform. Gumbuz was holding an ancient wizard book in his hand. Light bloomed in front of him, and a square wizard shield emitting strong light appeared, protecting him tightly.
There is another layer of pale flame covering it.
Immediately afterwards, there were dozens of rhombus-shaped Creek shields that were constantly coiling and swimming around his body.
At the same time, Gumbuz's eyes turn golden.
After making these arrangements, Gumbutz took out a witchcraft contract from the Qiankun bag. With a little force of his hands, the contract was torn into pieces.
He broke the contract.
At the moment when the contract was torn up, Gombuz's heart went crazy and alerted him. Immediately, a terrible force acted on Gombuz. He seemed to be under a spell and froze in place motionless.
There was a fluctuation in the air, and suddenly a terrifying giant hand suddenly poked out from the broken contract.
Ignoring the dazzling wizard shield, ignoring the layers of Creek shields, the coat of flames was wiped out as if it were nothing, and it penetrated the flesh all at once.
Gumbutz's soul was pulled out of his body by giant hands and was about to be pulled into a certain place.
But at the moment when his soul completely left his body, Gumbutz died.
The giant hand was frozen in the air, collapsing inch by inch.
Gumbuz woke up suddenly, sweating profusely.
"It's a terrible price to pay for imprisoning one's soul."
Gumbuz murmured with dull eyes.
Fortunately, he broke the contract in the practice room.
He paid the price of death to offset the consequences of breaking the contract.
This is actually what Gumbuz learned after experiencing the evil curse of the Headless Horseman many times. It can break some curses that are not effective immediately and cause continuous damage.
Death in the practice room will not cause Gumbutz to die in reality.
Most of the curses in the wizarding world are actually related to death. Some terrible curses cannot be escaped even after death.
The witchcraft contract that Griffith asked them to sign falls into the latter category. Those who violate the contract will need to pay a price more terrible than death.
...
At the moment when Gumbuz tore up the contract, Griffith, who was meditating in the Shimobone Forest, suddenly felt panicked.
Realizing something, he hurriedly took out a wooden box from the cabinet and saw four contracts neatly placed inside. The top one was burning with dark red flames. Under Griffith's unbelievable gaze, , quickly turned into ashes.
"Gombots...is dead?"
Griffith stood up quickly and kept mumbling: "How is it possible, how could he die... Impossible... No way, there must be a mistake somewhere... ..”
Griffith's facial features were distorted, he hurriedly put on his gray robe and rushed towards Gumbuz's residence.
