Age of Adepts

Grim and Billis, who had come from afar, quickly settled down inside this steel castle.

The Steel Castle was a large stronghold of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce here.

Following the goblins' usual business style, the front of the castle was a series of shops, while the main body of the castle was being used as a warehouse and living area.

The security of the castle was handled by a squad of magic weapons that numbered up to 20 units.

In addition to these magic weapons with steel bodies and metal brains, there were also 5 goblin organ sorcerers stationed inside the castle. These goblin organ warlocks were the real guardians of the castle, responsible for protecting several top executives of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce.

Over the years, through unremitting efforts and infiltration, the Goblin Chamber of Commerce had finally extended its tentacles into the territory of the Sorcerer's Association. Eleven goblin shops, large and small, plus this metal castle that existed as the headquarters location, that was all the goblins had achieved.

The Crimson Family's signature might be known to everyone in the middle of the continent, but in this sky-high eastern part of the continent, the Goblin Chamber of Commerce had to struggle to survive and develop like many human merchant houses. Fortunately, there was still a solid family behind it to rely on, and coupled with the goblins' passionate and outstanding business tactics, the Goblin Chamber of Commerce had finally established its roots here, and was expanding and expanding step by step.

Some time ago, Thor had even proposed to the family headquarters to transfer one or more high-ranking wizards over to station here.

After all, the Wizard World was a powerful region dominated by human sorcerers. If the Chamber of Commerce was full of goblins without any human high level sorcerers in attendance, they would be suppressed and discriminated against in the trading of goods and the acquisition of resources, both overtly and covertly.

All these years, the goblins had suffered a lot from this!

Therefore, suddenly hearing that the famous 3rd rank Worm Wizard Billis within the family had come here, Gnome Tor was happy and excited from the bottom of his heart.

After entering the secret room, the goblin Tor only knew that the mysterious wizard who had been following Billis was actually his own family's master, and the sudden enthusiasm that emerged was too much for even Grim to bear.

After dispatching it 'with difficulty', Grim had the time to carefully study the operational structure of the Witchcraft Association.

The Sorcerer's Association, one of the three major Sorcerer's organizations in the Sorcerer's World, occupied a vast land of nearly seven million square kilometers in the eastern part of the Sorcerer's Continent, with 370 million lords, more than 30,000 Sorcerers, and ruled and occupied as many as 1,000 sub-places.

Measuring the strength of a wizard organization was based on several key data indicators: wealth, strength, resources, power, and the number of witches!

Among the three major witch organizations, the Silver Alliance had always been known for its wealth and generosity, occupying the two major items of wealth and resources. The Sorcerer's Association, on the other hand, had the approval and support of the majority of sorcerers, and had a huge number of sorcerers, the most perfect sorcerer development system, and the top sorcerers in the sorcerer world.

Therefore, in terms of overall strength, the Sorcerer's Association was ranked first among the three major Sorcerer organizations.

As for the Northland Witches, their overall strength was the weakest, but they were extremely huggy and fierce in their fight. Therefore, by holding on to the North, the combined forces could also compete with the Witch Association and the Silver Alliance.

Grim is from the Scattered Tower Forest, which is famous for being a scattered mess. The development of the entire witch community is patterned and centered on family, and the interests and development of the community are above all else!

The power of the Sorcerer's family is reduced to the extreme, and it is the powerful and distinctive Sorcerers who can really drive the development of the association, not the Sorcerer's family behind them.

In the middle of the continent, a wizard was an appendage of the family, and without the family's support, it was extremely difficult for them to develop. But in the Sorcerer Association, those numerous Sorcerer Families had become the affiliates of some genius Sorcerers, and only when the Sorcerers they supported had risen to high positions within the Association, the Families could have a more relaxed and brighter future.

The positions of the two sides were abruptly reversed!

Developing in the Scattered Earth Tallinn, even if a witch was powerful, as long as they did not advance to the 4th rank, they were doomed to become only servants or stepping stones of their families, and had to endure centuries-long labor exploitation. Such an atmosphere was undoubtedly very depressing and excluded many elite witches with no family background from the mainstream.

The Sorcerer Association obviously didn't have so many prejudices and rules, and the selection and cultivation of sorcerers was only based on personal qualifications and development potential, plus it had an extremely well-developed internal sorcerer cultivation system. This made it the first choice of many powerless and powerless witches with no family background.

But Grim also knew in his heart that what truly determined the status of a sorcerer organization was the number of strong top-ranked sorcerers within it!

In this regard, the Sorcerer's Association was even more dominant.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of 4th rank Sorcerers in the Sorcerer's Association had reached over forty, almost three times the number of Scatterland Talins. As for whether or not there was a hidden top power behind it, that was the Sorcerer Association's top secret, and outsiders had no way of knowing.

Compared to the huge Sorcerer's Association, the Scatterland Talin was like a little brother by the side of a giant. If it wasn't for the fact that the three major witch organizations were involved and facing each other, I'm afraid that the Scattered Tallinn would not have the strength to defend against the Witch Association's advance.

As for Grim and the Crimson Family he had created, they were even less arrogant and cocky in front of the behemoth-like Sorcerer's Association. If Grim hadn't come out of absolute confidence in himself, he wouldn't have dared to rashly come to the 'enemy's' land in search of 'cooperation'!

Olivia, the powerful sorceress with the Flame of Light stone, and her information Grim has pretty much made it to her heart's content.

Olivia, 4th Order, Elemental Witch, Gender: female, age unknown, eldest daughter of the Armstrong family, with a younger brother below her, currently only a 1st Order Witch.

Since she was young, she had a talent for being a witch that was unattainable by ordinary people, and she managed to advance to a 4th rank witch after only 300 years. Such a terrifying advancement speed also made her the fastest-improving and most promising young witch in the last thousand years of the Witchcraft Association.

........

There was a vast and dense amount of information, but the brief description of this Olivia Witch's abilities was only four words: gravity control.

It seemed that... what this Olivia Witch was good at was the unorthodox gravity control.

This kind of ability belongs to a special kind of elemental sorcery, under the colder branch of magnetic sorcery, and requires the practitioner to have a certain special elemental constitution. Therefore, the number of sorcerers practicing this kind of sorcery is extremely rare, and those who can become 4th level sorcerers are even more rare.

I'm afraid that she was the only one in the entire Sorcerer World who could push gravity control to the 4th level!

All rank 4 witches were the treasures of the power they were in, and even more so, the top warriors supporting that power. What's more, a young witch like Olivia, whose talent and potential was astonishing, was the heart and palm of the Sorcerer's Association, enjoying all sorts of resources and knowledge leanings.

And this Olivia was also exceptionally strong, displaying even more astonishing battle prowess, having personally presided over more than a dozen expeditions against exotic civilizations. Thus, she was also a powerful battle sorcerer, and extremely experienced in killing and fighting.

........

In the meantime, Grim's brows couldn't help but tighten after reading this Olivia's intelligence information.

Strong... Such a strong witch, it was probably very difficult to deal with such a person. If she couldn't come up with anything calming, the other party would simply ignore her. This would make it even more difficult to obtain the Light Flame Divine Stone in the other party's hands as well!

Thus, not even half an hour after he had just kicked Thor out, Grim called it back.

"Since you've been stationed in the east for 17 years, have you ever heard of a 4th rank witch named Olivia?"

Hearing Grim's question, the goblin Thor immediately showed a bitter face.

"Torturing Witch - Olivia, I'm afraid there are very, very few people in the east who have not heard of this name..."

"Torturing witch...that's a refreshing title, though. Why would you give her such a title? Is she good?"

"One of the main reasons why she is known as the Torturing Witch is because most of the enemies killed by her would be crushed and ravaged into a puddle of flesh by the terrifying sorcery, and not even a whole corpse could be found. It was because of her extremely cruel and terrifying methods that everyone feared her so much..." at this point, Tor couldn't help but steal a glance up at Grim, "My lord, you don't want to find trouble with this Torturing Witch, do you? "

"What are you babbling about..." scolded Grim with no good reason, "This is the Wizard's Association's territory, I ran here to trouble Olivia, do you think I'll make it back to the middle alive? "

"I'm glad you understand!" Thor surreptitiously wiped sweat from his forehead.

"But I have some things I may need to get to this Olivia, do you...have any way for me to meet her?"

Hearing Grim's words, Tor couldn't help but shudder and grinned, "My lord, our Goblin Chamber of Commerce has only been stationed in the east for a total of just over sixty years, and our roots here are still very shallow, so how could we come into contact with a tier like the 4th ranked witch..."

"So what do you know about this Olivia, tell me all about it..."

"Yes!" Tor swallowed his saliva and slowly narrated the story.

Everything else mostly matched the information Grim had obtained, the only peculiar thing was that, as far as Tor understood, that Olivia was decidedly tough and deadly, and was also exceptionally ruthless with her enemies. However, she still has one more concerned family member, her own brother Wales, who is only a 1st rank intermediate and the same mother.

Don't look at Olivia's natural potential, but her own brother's talent as a wizard is a mess. If Olivia hadn't poured a lot of resources into him, he would have had trouble even qualifying as a rank 1 wizard.

If Olivia had any weaknesses, probably this own brother of hers would have to count for one!

Hearing such information, Grim looked faintly moved, and couldn't help but have some vague ideas now.
