Age of Adepts

Enemies are extraordinarily jealous of each other.

But in a public place like the Rayne City Witch Tower, and the other party was invited by the association, it eliminated the possibility of Yurga taking advantage of the opportunity to plot against the other party.

Embarrassed not to lose the fight, Yurga, even if he hated it in his heart, still had to maintain his dignity as a high-ranking witch at least in the open.

"Meet Lord Yurga!" Grim was the first to come to the other side and gave a respectful salute to the chest.

The two sides didn't have any subordinates or kinship, and Grim's initiative to salute the other side as a second-ranked wizard also made Yurga unable to pick out any fault.

"You're fine...all fine!" Yurga's face was cold and gloomy, and he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.

His furious scarlet pupils stared fiercely at that full-body black robe, the Insect Witch Billis who was standing quietly behind Grim without a second's notice.

Although all three of them in front of him, he hated to kill them immediately. But in terms of what annoyed Yurga the most, it still had to belong to this Worm Witch Billis who never fought anyone head-on and specialized in sneaking around and attacking low-level witches.

The reason why the Kamala family was now in such a bad situation was that this damned guy had swept all the resource points and direct territories of the Kamala family without missing a single one. All of the low-level witches were killed or transformed into foreign insects, and all of the apprentices drained their entire body of essence and spiritual energy.

The viciousness and insidiousness of this move caused the Kamala family to slow down for nearly a hundred years even if they carried through this crisis.

Originally such an ugly act would never be allowed in the Wizard World!

However, the two sides were in the middle of a family war, and the Worm Witch Billis hadn't extended the war beyond the Kamala family. This left Yurga to swallow this bitter fruit in silence, forced by a group of 2nd rank wizards to ask for help from the Scattered Earth Talin Association.

And the consequence of asking for help... whenever Yurga thought about it, it was a moment of heartache!

Level 1 resource points, that was something that every family had spent a great deal of effort to create, and it was also fundamental to the family's continuity and development. Now, the Kamala family's only two level 1 resource points had become the pockets of the Association's group of assholes, and he, however, could only watch with hatred as a few level 2s flaunted their power in front of him.

The elemental fluctuations around Yurga's body were violent and disorderly, and just as he was filled with resentment and somewhat out of control, the white-robed sorcerer standing beside him coldly transmitted, "Yurga, you can't do it here! These were all invited by the Association and most of the witches in the arena are aware of it. If you make a move here, any agreement between you and the Association will be null and void. Don't you dare force me to lead an enforcement team to hunt you down!"

With that, the white-robed sorcerer turned his body to faintly look at the three Grim for a few moments and took the initiative to speak, "You are the Crimson Family's patriarch Grim, aren't you! My name is Laurion, I'm the head of the Scattered Ground Tallinn Association's Correctional Department, and I'm the one who came forward to invite you here this time."

The Scattered Earth Talyn Association Correctional Department?

Grim was in awe.

He had a vague impression of this name, as if someone had reminded him that this Department of Corrections was a witch organization with great power in the middle of the continent. The organization was almost entirely made up of elite combat witches, and their duty was to clean up the black sheep of the witch community.

Those who had violated the Witch Code were captured and hunted by them!

This was a powerful sorcerer organization with real power and the ability to act, as long as Grim still wanted to establish himself in the middle of the continent, he must not mess with these fury that ate people without bones.

Grim hurriedly stroked his chest and saluted, taking the lead in saluting the other party.

"Since you're all here already, there's no need to waste time... follow me!"

Under the leadership of that Laurien Shaman, Yorga, Grim and the others rolled over to a magic chamber, where they all took their seats and began a difficult negotiation.

Only after everyone was seated did the Laurien sorcerer calmly say, "For some time now, you two have been making a lot of trouble in the Alois region, which has seriously affected the basic order of the region. Therefore, on behalf of Elder Nicholas and Elder Matthew of the Association, I solemnly issue a warning to your two families that you must end this war in the shortest possible time and provide the Association with an explanation for some of the mass killings that occurred during the war..."

At this point, the Laurien wizard paused, his eyes involuntarily falling on the worm wizard Billis.

"Honorable Lord Laurien, I'm sure you already know the whole story." Grim wasn't deterred by the other party's power and smiled good-naturedly, "The whole incident started with... this Lord Yurga of the Kamala Clan ran off with his men and attacked our family's compound, killing and injuring a large number of our clan members."

The Laurian wizard didn't say anything, and for the first time squinted his eyes up and down at the young family patriarch.

"So, after repelling the enemy's attack, our Crimson Family naturally has the power to retaliate against the enemy family according to the Sorcerer's Code. And the entire retaliation process was also strictly in accordance with the Sorcerer's Code, without disturbing any non-Kamara family territories or sorcerers." Grim smiled, "I take it that the Association would not deprive us of the right to retaliate reasonably?"

Hearing the other party's 'questioning', the Laurien Shaman also had to explain, "No, no, no... you must not misunderstand me. I didn't say that the Association would deprive you of the right to retaliate, but the war between you has spread to too many territories and resource points, and it has a considerable impact on the strength of our entire central continent. Therefore, the association elders hope that you can end this war through some 'reasonable' means!"

This time it was Grim's turn to narrow his eyes.

"I wonder what the 'reasonable' way is that Lord Laurien refers to?"

"Family rendezvous!" The Laurian wizard smiled darkly and acted as if he were fair and impartial, "Yurga has filed for forced arbitration with the Association, and has obtained the consent of two Association Elders. Your two families must immediately end their private acts of war, and then settle your dispute by means of a fair duel."

"A family engagement fight? How about an about-face?"

"It is that each of your two families will send a family member to split the winners and losers in a fair duel. The loser will need to apologize to the winner and compensate the other in full for all war losses..."

Hearing such harsh conditions, Mary, who was sitting behind Grim, immediately let out a high-pitched scream.

"Fair? Where is the fairness in this approach? This war was clearly won by us, so why should we be allowed to participate in this kind of family rendezvous again..."

Mary was just about to rise in fury when that 3rd rank Laurian wizard snapped his fingers, and as a green halo of light blossomed, a dozen ropes made of strands of wooden tentacles suddenly protruded from underneath Mary, binding her securely to the seat.

"Little one, probably no one has ever taught you before how you should respect a high ranking wizard. Jie Jie Jie...with that comment you just made, I can cure you of the crime of defying a high ranking sorcerer. Hmph, do you think that the middle of the continent is a place where a little rank 2 vampire like you can flaunt your power?" A terrifying wave of magic rippled between the Laurean wizard's hands as he looked down coldly at the three Grim.

"In this meeting today, I am only here to inform you about this matter, and not to discuss anything with you. So if you guys have any grievances, by all means, you can complain about this matter to Nicholas and Mathew, the two elders. Hehe, but if it were me, I would never do it. Because this matter is the decision made by the two elders, and you guys won't get any better results even if you complain to the Scattered Earth Tallinn Association..."

"I get it!" In the meantime, Grim's eyebrows were furrowed, "It seems that the wizard that the Kamala Family will fight is this Lord Yurga. So we Crimson Family can pick our warriors at will as well?"

"Well, of course not! This is an internal battle between your two families, and cannot involve other families or forces. Therefore, those who fight on behalf of the Crimson Family can only be internal members of the Crimson Family with the identity of a wizard, and may not invite outside help!" The Laurien Wizard continued to hem and haw, "I heard that there are some exotic dragons mixed within your family, they are not considered members of the Crimson Family and cannot participate in the war as a family representative!"

Suddenly, Grim's eyes hardened at the words, and Mary struggled furiously. And Billis, who was unmoving in his black robe, also raised his head fiercely, his ghostly green insect compound pupils sweeping over that Laurien wizard and quickly lowered his head again.

Grimson sneered, "So far, our family has not registered any 3rd rank wizard with the Association. Are you saying that you want us to send a 2nd rank out for a 'fair' appointment with Lord Yurga, a 3rd rank?"

Grimson said coldly, gritting his teeth in particular as the word 'fair' popped out.

"You could interpret it that way!" The Laurien Wizard still smiled with a clouded smile, "In short, this duel has been approved by the two Association Elders, and you will have to agree if you don't, or else... our Association's Discipline Department has the power to deal with those renegades who don't abide by the Association's bylaws!"

"The time...the place..." the expression of Grim's forced smile was close to fury.

"In three days, in the public arena of this witch tower!" Laurianne still had a smug, owlish smile, "Don't worry, we'll keep order on the scene then, and never let anything illegal happen!"

Grim had no more words to say at this point, returning to his fingertips, a cluster of crimson flames condensed into a strange blade at his fingertips, quickly slicing through the wooden rope that bound Mary.

Wherever the sharp, scorching hot blade of fire passed, the wooden rope was centered and snapped, and Mary regained her freedom.

"In three days, we'll be here!"

Throwing down a cold word, Grim was the first to leave the magic chamber.
