Age of Adepts

Grim managed to advance to the 4th step....

Even if this news was not deliberately proclaimed, it quickly spread like a plague throughout the middle of the continent.

For a time, the Crimson Family's water level rose, and its status within the Scatterland Tower Forest was also slowly rising. Those low and middle ranked sorcerers who came to cast their votes, as well as mundane chambers of commerce and dignitaries, were even more incessant, almost pushing through the Crimson Family's threshold.

The family's top management, under Grim's hint and push, had waged some witch family wars in due course, taking some resource-rich territories around the Alois region. And for such an obvious overstepping of the rules by the Crimson Family, the Scatterland Talin Association turned a blind eye to it, instead sending a visiting delegation represented by Vice President Milva the Sorcerer to personally come and congratulate them.

Crimson Wings.

As a large witch tower created in the core of the Alois region after the rise of the Crimson Family, the grand ceremony celebrating the family lord's advancement to the 4th rank could naturally only be held here.

For a time, the witch families and witch organizations and powers in the various regions of the Scattered Tower Forest had sent their representatives one after another, rushing here to congratulate this newly emerged 4th rank powerhouse in the middle of the continent. The neighboring Sorcerer Families that were under the Crimson Family's blade even sent strong members of their clans to start a difficult but constructive 'negotiation' with the Crimson Family's top management.

Either they would become the Crimson Family's subordinate power, or they would exchange resource points or treasures for temporary peace, or they would invite the Crimson Family to cooperate in the development of a certain secondary plane... In order to avoid becoming the victim of the Crimson Family's rise to power, these Sorcerer Families could only hold their noses and accept one humiliating 'Terms of Cooperation', this was the only way to maintain their family's foundation and origin land from being annexed by the Crimson Family with great difficulty.

The 3rd rank clan chiefs who hurriedly arrived, even in front of Gargamel and Meryl, who were only 2nd rank, had to bow and scrape to please them, not daring to anger these Crimson Family rulers at all.

If their attitudes were too tough, or the resources, treasures, and sub-levels they entered couldn't satisfy the appetite of the Crimson Family, then what would be waiting for them would be the overwhelming Crimson Demon Armament Legion.

To be honest, even if some of the Wraith Families were humble and cooperative, when they had something in their hands that the Crimson Family would covet, then they would definitely be the first unlucky 'victims' in the next round of the Crimson Family's expansion wave.

This was not determined by their attitude and efforts at all, but rather by the Crimson Family's long- and short-term development plans based on their own needs and positioning!

Everywhere in the wizarding world, the emergence of a 4th level wizard is inevitably accompanied by the subtle growth and change of the power landscape.

Grim was a legendary Fire Witch before he advanced to the next level, and he was even recognized as the first person of the 3rd level in the Scattered Tallinn region. Then once such a guy advanced to the 4th rank, I'm afraid that his sharpness and power couldn't even be compared to those old 4th rank wizards.

At the very least, for nearly a hundred years, the entire Scattered Earth Tallinn region was going to experience a power upheaval of unprecedented scale. Those sorcerer families or organizations that had a 4th rank sorcerer sitting in their seats would not be affected, but the remaining families or forces that had no one to rely on would probably have to endure an existential crisis far greater than before.

Big fish eats small fish, small fish eats shrimp, shrimp eats dirt....

When a new 4th rank sorcerer rose in the middle of the continent, he was bound to break out a piece of living space in the scattered tower forest of power that was large enough for him to settle down. And the first thing that the large plates of power clash and squeeze between, crushing the peripheral affiliated powers and small, unsupported powers.

At this time, every witch family or power had to keep their eyes open and join forces, both to protect their own witch heritage that had lasted for hundreds of years and to think of tearing off a piece of flesh from others in order to develop and grow themselves.

So, for the conceivable future, the entire Scattered Tarin will not be able to stop for a hundred years, and will always be in a terrible tide of conflict, agitation, and devouring each other.

It was such a cold and ruthless war for survival that could eliminate the marginal and hopeless wizard legacies, make the powerful wizards even stronger, and allow the large wizard families to stretch and expand their size and stature.

The Crimson Celebration, which was the source of the turmoil in the forces of the Scattered Tallinn, was also undoubtedly an optimal venue for 'merging and uniting'. Thus, a large number of large and medium-sized powers that smelled of blood, or those small and medium-sized powers that were desperate to save themselves, came to the Crimson Wing in droves, looking for a so-called 'opportunity' here!

Wizard celebrations were far less tedious and ostentatious than the banquets of worldly dignitaries, but had a 'low-key luxury' that the latter would never be able to achieve.

The banquet hall was a spacious palace that covered an area of ten thousand square meters.

In the center of the hall was a large fountain of exquisite design, and those playing beautiful music and singing in it were the top musicians from the sea tribe and the mermaids of the deep sea.

The instruments they used were shells, coral, seaweed and other deep-sea wonders, but the sound was uniquely beautiful. The deep-sea mermaid is a beautiful woman with a human body and a golden fish tail.

When she wore a diamond crown on her head, her long, wet hair was hanging down her cheeks to cover her breasts, and her two-meter-long golden tail was coiled around a rock that protruded from the water.

The heavenly beautiful singing voice has a taste that goes straight to the soul, thrilling.......

The deep sea mermaid is a species that possesses the power of natural laws, and their songs carry a hint of natural charm effect. They are able to make other creatures who hear them sing, whether they understand the lyrics or not, consciously or unconsciously immerse themselves in them and are powerless to extricate themselves.

But the law of success is also the law of defeat.

The deep sea mermaids became the nobles and kings of the deep sea world with this strange natural law ability, but they also became the top singers that the sorcerers loved to hunt and collect.

But most witches hunted them for their witchcraft using mermaid blood and tears to add a powerful hallucinogenic effect to their witchcraft, and only those rich witch families would not care about the value of their witchcraft, so extravagantly trained them into songstresses.

For this banquet, Grim had also borrowed five elemental pixies from Alice, allowing them to act as banquet servers.

The elemental pixies were so peculiar in appearance that the witches present were naturally recognizable at once.

They fluttered their transparent wings as thin as cicada wings and held tiny matchstick-like magic wands in their hands, flying around the banquet hall, unceasingly waving their hands and casting a string of gorgeous and beautiful starlight.

A wizard whose body was stained by the starlight would soon discover that he had somehow gained a few more sorcery blessings, such as 'Stamina Return', 'Energize', 'Trickle Down'......either increasing his energy, or automatically restoring his stamina or vitality with the passage of time, all of them were extremely practical sorcery blessings.

It must be known that once most witches carry out a large-scale sorcery, they would need to stay in the laboratory for ten days and half a month. During this period, they were either unable to move their positions, or had no time to eat or drink, and could only rely on voodoo potions to hold on. Therefore, the exertion on physical strength and energy was also enormous.

If they could have an experimental slave like an elemental elf in their lab, their workload and hardship would plummet and it would be much easier to cope.

Therefore, most of the witches looked at these pixies with a bit of envy and covetousness in their eyes.

Some of the wizards who were interested in them even reached out and beckoned these little elves down, asking for something like wine or cakes. And all these little elves needed was a wave of their wands and a bang of fireworks bloomed, and those things the other party wanted automatically floated before their eyes.

In addition to the elemental pixies, the banquet hall also had large groups of handsome and beautiful men and women apprentices in dresses serving the witches. In their ranks, there were also many forest elves, blood elves, grass elves, and phantom maids.

As for the crimson witches, they were dressed in various styles and colors according to their professions and preferences. But on their chests, they all wore a family crest with the Burning Iron Hand engraved on it, on which their sorcerer's breath lingered, obviously with some kind of strange and powerful sorcery attached.

As a family event, whether it was the Gargamel faction, the Meryl faction, or the Goblin camp, all of them were out in full force, giving their all to serve every witch that came to the celebration. And among them, there was also the strange appearance of a strange fellow who looked somewhat similar to the split-brain Gru, with a large octopus-like head entrenched in the middle of the Northerner's metal body through a layer of transparent crystal glass.

It wasn't Gru, but a newly divided split-brain Sock from the 3rd stage brain monster Ghazluvi.

As for the split-brain Gru, it had been secretly disposed of in the information publicly announced by the house lord, as it had been compelled by the outside world to instigate the rebellion of the goblin princess Winnisha.

And with the removal of this 'bad nail', the connection between the Eternal Capital of the Lance Dimension and the family had become even stronger!

In the midst of the silent waiting of nearly a thousand sorcerers, the protagonist of the banquet, the famous Legendary Fire Witch, strode into the venue together with the veteran 4th rank sorcerer of the Scatterland Tallinn Association, Vice President Milva.

It had been some days since I had seen him, and this legendary fire witch's physical appearance had changed slightly again.

Long black hair tied behind a golden ring, black eyes, fair skin, a young and handsome face, and a tall, strong and majestic body....

It had to be said that even without the illusory and shadowy aura of a 4th rank wizard, this Grim was an extremely charismatic and graceful young male wizard!
