The Wizarding Age

A strong and exquisite stone bridge spans the still water lake and divides the town into east and west parts. The only tavern in the town is located on the east bank of the clear still water lake.

It was early one morning, and although the tavern was open, there were not many customers.

Therefore, when Grim, wearing a black traveler's robe, stepped into the tavern, he did not attract anyone's attention. Even the yawning old Willie who was wiping the counter just looked up and didn't care.

Although Greem covered most of his body and face with his burqa, you could tell he was a human just from his exposed hands and less than half of his chin.

In the border area of ​​Lakeside Town, adventurers and mercenaries like this are not uncommon.

Whether it is the brutal wolf man in the mountains or the orcs in the north, they are all the guys who are offered high-priced bounties by the Zambis Empire, which attracts many overestimating guys who want to obtain merits and rewards. And they were also frequent visitors to the tavern, so Old Willy was particularly familiar with their costumes and appearances.

"You look very strange...did you just come to Lakeside Town?" Old Willy quickly poured a glass of Thunder Beer and slid it along the counter to the man in black: "I'll treat you to this glass of wine. !”

Greem lifted his hood and showed a gentle smile as bright as the sun. He raised his glass and nodded in salute: "Thank you! I wish you good health!"

When he opened his mouth, Greem spoke fluent and authentic Zambisian.

Looking at the young man's long dark red hair hanging on his shoulders, fair skin, tall nose, and black eyes, Old Willy was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said: "Are you from the south of the empire? This kind of appearance is not common here!”

Grim smiled faintly and did not answer. Instead, he ordered a piece of stew and sat in the corner of the tavern to eat and drink slowly.

However, while Greem was eating and drinking and thinking about the next step, there was some faint commotion in the distance, accompanied by a loud alarm bell.

"Damn it, those jackals must be coming here again..." Old Willy cursed in a low voice and came to the door of the tavern to look in the direction of the stone bridge.

After just one glance, he was instantly stunned.

The stone castle fortress at the other end of the stone bridge in the town not only lit up the sky with smoke pillars, but also rang the alarm bell crazily. All the residents of Lakeside Town walked out of their houses and looked nervously and anxiously at the Stone Castle Fortress in the distance.

Stone Castle Fortress is the only military facility outside the town. There are 150 imperial soldiers stationed inside, protecting the safety of the town year after year.

Now, they have smoke going off, which is definitely not a good sign.

The mayor of the town, Gundas, rushed out of the village office in a hurry. He led two of his men and ran towards the Stone Castle Fortress while shouting at Old Willy.

"Old drunkard, don't be stunned, quickly organize all the young people in the town and go to Shiqiao to wait. I'll take people to see what's going on!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Old Willy hesitated for a moment, and as soon as he turned around, he trembled with fright.

The young man had already stood behind him at some point, raising his head and silently staring at the beacon smoke in the distance.

"Young man, I'm sorry, my tavern will be closed temporarily. If you are really an adventurer, please stay and help us in Lakeside Town. I'm really worried that the enemies coming this time may be very dangerous..."

Greem paid no attention to this short and thick guy who looked like a wine barrel, but looked into the distance, his heart moving slightly.

Elemental fluctuations...

In the place where the beacon smoke was lit, Greem could sense a strong elemental fluctuation coming from afar, and there seemed to be a vaguely familiar smell.

According to Greem's understanding, there are no large-scale spellcasters in Enverk's plane. Moreover, this elemental fluctuation is also somewhat inconsistent with the power system of this plane. It seems... like a wizard.

Grim narrowed his eyes.

When passing through the space rift, he could see clearly that the two deceitful witches fell in a different direction from his own, and it was impossible for them to rush to join him so quickly. Therefore, when Greem suddenly sensed familiar power fluctuations in this alien plane, not only did he not feel any sense of intimacy, but he also felt an ominous premonition.

Friend or foe? Was he passing by by chance or was he here just for himself?

Greem turned around and left the tavern without hesitation, walking quickly towards the outside of the town, away from the smoke of war.

Seeing this, Old Willy could only shake his head and sigh, and hurriedly squirmed his fat body to summon the young people in the town.

There are more than 2,000 residents in the town. In addition to the old, young, women and children, it is not difficult to gather a team of seven to eight hundred people. They didn't know the situation outside the town, so they could only block the stone bridge with sticks, knives and forks, and held up torches, anxiously waiting for news from the distance.

In the early morning, the gravel road leading to the Stone Castle Fortress outside the town was shrouded in a faint mist, making it difficult to see far.

Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the distance, and a staggering figure rushed onto the stone bridge holding a torch high.

"It's York..."

"Look, it's York who is following the mayor..."

Several townspeople had sharp eyes and quickly identified the identity of the guy who had fled back in a hurry.

"Little York, what happened at the Stone Castle Fortress?" A strong and powerful man stood out from the crowd and asked loudly.

"Dead...dead...all dead...Mayor..." Little York staggered forward, shouting angrily.

A sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded in the faint mist.

A disc-shaped strange blade wheel suddenly flew out of the mist, circled Little York's neck, and flew back into the mist again with a whistling sound.

Little York's body suddenly stiffened, and the head on his neck fell to the ground, rolling all the way into the crowd.

Everyone dodged, and their faces turned pale with fear, screaming and shouting.

In the distance, the mist shook, and a petite and delicate figure slowly emerged, waving five or six strange tentacles that whistled and screamed around her.

A strange half-human, half-mechanical woman came out of the mist. She was wearing exquisite and gorgeous black armor. Half of her skin and face exposed outside belonged to human flesh and blood, and the other half was replaced by a strange silver-white metal.

The most striking thing on the cold and hard face was the pair of strange dark red and shiny mechanical eyes.

"She... she is a witch from another world!" The well-informed old Willy retreated in fear, and his sharp voice could almost break people's eardrums.

Witch? She is a witch...

This terrible news immediately scared everyone to death.

The Envik plane was invaded by witches from another world, which was news known to every citizen of the Zambes Empire. However, the Paladins sent by the Empire besieged the witches from another world in the Dabire Highlands, and it was said that they were about to strangle them to death.

How could it be possible that they ran to the lakeside town in the northernmost part of the empire?

Several timid townspeople wanted to turn around and run away, but as soon as they turned around, the half-human, half-mechanical witch screamed, and four or five terrifying blade wheels flew out in an instant and cut them in half.

The corpses fell to the ground one by one, and the rich blood and horrible blood stains made many townspeople faint directly.

"Stand still, don't move!" As the sword lady Katie advanced leisurely, she threatened loudly, "Anyone who dares to run away will end up like them."

All the townspeople hid on both sides of the stone bridge in fear, leaving the wide stone road in the middle.

"I'm looking for someone. If anyone can tell me where he is, I can spare his life..."

Knife lady Katie took out a crystal ball from her bosom, and with her magic power, she projected a tall and strong young man in the air. Judging from his eyebrows, clothes, and body shape, it was Grimm.

Several people present had seen Grimm at the door of the tavern and immediately recognized him. They couldn't help but look at Old Willy.

Knife lady Katie's spiritual perception was so sharp that she instantly set her sights on the short and fat Old Willy in the crowd. The coiled metal blades flew over with a humming sound, forcing the rest of the people away and trapping Old Willy in the center.

"Have you seen this person?" Katie showed a strange smile on her cold face.

"I have... I have seen..."

"Where is he?"

"He... he went..."

Just as Old Willy turned around and was about to point to the distance, a swift fireball flew out of the distant mist and landed on him.

With a loud bang, the short and fat Old Willy, who looked like a barrel, exploded into blood all over the sky, and then was instantly evaporated by the explosion of the flame shock wave.

The town leaders were immediately scared and ran away, with shrill screams and cries resounding everywhere.

Sword Princess Katie no longer cared about these boring ants, but her mechanical eyes moved slightly, slowly locking onto the tall figure who walked out of the mist at the other end of the stone bridge.

"Grimm..." Sword Princess Katie sneered: "I thought you would run away like crazy! How dare you take the initiative to stand up?"

"Run? Why run?" Grimm brushed away the mist and stopped at a distance of 100 meters from the other party. He sneered: "You are level 3, and I am also level 3. In this ghost place, neither of us can exert our maximum strength, so why should I be afraid of you?"

"Because you are an elemental wizard, and I am a mechanical wizard!" Sword Princess Katie's scarlet mechanical eyes became brighter and brighter: "The impact of the heterotopic face on you should be greater, and... I am a hunting wizard!"

When it comes to hunting wizards, Sword Princess Katie's metal boots suddenly stepped with great force, and her petite body of less than 1.6 meters was like a sharp arrow from a string, and she suddenly pounced on Grimm.

And the metal tentacles that stretched out from her body swung violently, and five fluorescent metal blade wheels whistled and cut towards Grimm's body from all angles.
