In the room, Gumbutz took a hot bath. As soon as he came out of the bathroom, there were panicked footsteps at the door.

He turned his head and looked, just as the door was pushed open.

"Lord Gumbuz, what is going on? I saw many wizards leaving." Count Richman came over in a hurry, breathing heavily.

"I'm sorry, Count Richman, the Shimobone Forest summoned us back." Gumbuz said while putting on his gray robe.

"So, is the war over?" Count Richman's face showed joy.

Gumbuz pondered for a while and shook his head: "I'm afraid not."

"What should we do?" Richman asked.

"I suggest you leave here. There is no point in holding on to Red Rock Castle now." Gumbuz picked up the knight's sword and walked out of the door past Earl Richman.

Richman caught up and said, "Lord Gumbuz, are you telling the truth?"

Gumbuz paused, thought for a while, and then said: "Call all the knights and come to the conference hall immediately. I have something to say."

Earl Richman was stunned for a moment and nodded repeatedly.

Ten minutes later, the conference hall of Red Rock Castle was crowded with knights. These knights gathered from all over Rayafanni. Their purpose was simple, to make achievements and gain lands and titles.

When Gumbutz saw everyone gathered, he said: "I can't tell you the specific situation. I don't know what will happen to Rayafani in the end, but Red Rock Castle, including the entire front line, will be lost."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the scene.

But as a layer of invisible coercion descended, filling the entire conference hall, everyone was covered in sweat and even their breathing became disordered.

Gumbutz's eyes returned to normal. He looked at the knights and said: "I plan to recruit a group of followers. Now I want to ask your opinion, is there anyone willing to be my follower? Follow me, and I can guarantee that within ten years He became a wizard’s apprentice.”

The conference hall was silent.

After a long time, a young knight asked cautiously: "Commander Gumbutz, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course." Gumbutz took out a stack of blank witchcraft contracts, "We can sign a witchcraft contract. Once the contract is established, there is no possibility for both parties to go back on it."

An ordinary witchcraft contract only requires ten pieces of cloud iron. The binding force is effective for ordinary wizard apprentices, but has a general effect on some powerful wizard apprentices. It is the kind that can be exempted by paying a certain price.

It couldn't be compared with the four contracts Griffith asked them to sign.

"I won't accept anyone who has a family. I have a body..."

Gumbuz read out the conditions carefully.

In the end, there were more than twenty knights left on the scene. Gumbutz counted them and found that there were just a few more contracts. Based on the principle of not wasting, he also accepted a few older knights and followed them. The number reaches thirty.

After everyone signed the contract, Gumbutz said: "Go back and pack your bags immediately. We will leave Red Rock Castle tonight."

Earl Richman said with a sad face, "Lord Gumbuz, what you are doing...isn't good."

"They followed me voluntarily, what's wrong with that?" Gumbuz disagreed.

Richman hesitated to speak, and finally left with a sigh.

Gumbuz watched him leave calmly, which was the sadness of a small person, although he didn't feel that he had done anything to regret Richman.

Even a nobleman from a mortal realm, a high-ranking earl, could only be at the mercy of the apprentices who represented the wizard association.

The Red Rock Castle was deserted overnight.

Earl Richman led his men back to their territory.

The knights from all over Layafenni also dispersed, going back to where they came from.

Two days later, Red Rock Castle was occupied by the Kingdom of Kain.

After discovering that it was an empty city, the army marched non-stop inland. valley

...

"Lord Gumbutz, ahead is the mooring forest. There are many tree apes and some small monsters living in it."

Gumbutz looked down at the dense forest below and said, "Camp on the spot."

The knights were very efficient, and soon the camp was set up.

Inside the camp, Gumbutz carefully browsed a huge book.

"The heart of a tree ape is an organ that is very suitable for the human body. It has low rejection after transplantation. The apprentice who transplants the heart of the tree ape has an affinity for most magic plants and is the second best magic plant grower after goblins."

Gumbuz thought in his mind, "Let Parker, Trevor, and Kabine transplant the tree ape's heart. They are older and other organs are not suitable for them. Well... three implanters are enough." ”

Gumbutz put away his books and suddenly entered the practice room.

Looking at the four options embedded in the air.

Gumbutz chose "challenge" and challenged the robbers. With a sudden spin, he appeared on a grassland.

Half a man tall in the grass, there was a sneaky figure lurking toward him.

Little did he know that he had been discovered.

It's just that the opponent is too lazy to pay attention.

Gumbutz moved his lips, and as he read out a few syllables, there was a crisp sound, and a mysterious transparent light ball lit up like a light bulb, quickly flying into the old wizard's book suspended on his chest.

Gumbuz let out a muffled groan, and a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The oath took effect.

The light group just recorded in the wizard's book is actually a meditation method provided to apprentices in the Shimobone Forest. In order to prevent the meditation method from being spread by informal apprentices, the meditation method itself swore to follow it on its own.

Once you teach it privately, you will be severely punished by an oath.

The vows of meditation are not actually death-inducing.

Gumballs tested it and found that with his great knight's physique, he could recreate four light groups at once before dying of organ failure.

A light group represents a meditation method, and there is also an oath automatically following it, which cannot be fundamentally broken.

Every time Gumbuz releases a ball of light, one is recorded in the wizard's book, and he can choose to teach it to anyone without suffering the punishment of the curse.

He's already been punished.

Gumbutz is not stupid either. He can only carve out three light groups at most at one time, then kill the robbers and return to the practice room. By then, his body will be restored to its original state.

In addition to not understanding the power of the oath the first time, Gumbuz chose to do it on the dirt platform where he challenged the bandit captain. Now that he understood it, he chose the most efficient place to do it.

"My Healing Game"

The grass ahead swayed slightly, and the robber had already touched Gumbutz's side. Just in time, his third light group had been recorded in the wizard's book.

Gumbuz breathed out and spit out the blood from his mouth. A wizard's hand suddenly grabbed the robber who rushed out and was about to stab him with a spear.

With a click, the robber died peacefully.

Soon, Gumbutz returned to the practice room.

He opened the wizard's book and saw thirty meditation methods recorded on the pages.

This is what Gumbuz prepared for his knights.

Gumbuz had no intention of violating the contract, and he still kept his promise to his followers.

In the years since he came to Shimobone Forest, he has experienced many things. Gumbutz asked himself that he was not a good person, but he was not completely devoid of principles and bottom lines.
