Age of Adepts

That night, Grim and his party were also stationed at the Annemado Academy.

Late at night, Grim sat alone at a wooden table, his brow furrowed as he examined the parchment in front of him.

"Grim, Mary, Crimson Family.

Clara, the Darnell family.

A small piece of parchment recorded the situation of the 4th rank wizards and the wizard families they belonged to throughout the middle of the continent. And at the end of this list, Freed and his Yomo family had been crossed out by a heavy red line.

It's not just one or two names crossed out, but thousands of lives and thousands of heads.

With the fall of Freed, a simultaneous purge of the remnants of the Jomo family is underway. The Jomo's of the mundane territories were rounded up and publicly executed, and even the wizards with Jomo blood were in the midst of a planned 'purge'.

Ordinary Jomo clansmen escaped as well, and the Crimson Family didn't have the time and energy to hunt them down all over the world. But those Freed direct-bloods who had the gift of wizardry and had escaped the backlash of Kirthlin had to die!

The Crimson Clan had sent a large number of Blood Clans to hunt down these leaky fish, even if they fled to the ends of the earth, to hunt them down and root them out.

This... was perhaps the coldest and most brutal scene in the Wizard War!

While Grim's attitude towards life had always been precious, he didn't want to leave any bad hazards to the grand undertaking he had created.

The Jomo family was fine to deal with, without Fried, they were a bunch of pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, without even the slightest chance of resistance. The only thing bothering Grim now was the 'allies' on this list.

Looking at the list from the beginning to the end, and then from the end to the beginning, the only person Grim could trust among the dense list of names was probably Mary. Even the Clara Witch, who had been the most active during this period of time, Grim didn't dare to put too much trust in her.

In the list, Mary was one of her own, Clara, Declan, and Everett could be considered true allies. The rest of them were either forced by Crimson's power, or feared the threat of death... In short, one must not expect too much from them.

If Crimson lost power, or if there was some change in the middle, these guys would most likely be the fastest group to fall back. However, as long as Grim continued to remain strong, even if they had any ambition or misfortune, they would only hide it in their hearts and not dare to reveal a single thing.

In addition, within the remaining group, the three of Milva, Nicholas and Matthew were undoubtedly the most unstable of all. They were the latest to surrender, and still had a considerable grudge against themselves earlier... With these two points, it was impossible for them to settle down in a solid manner.

It was just that the middle of the continent desperately needed to be stabilized now, without giving the wolves out there the chance to take advantage of the weakness. Therefore, even Grim could only accept the surrender of the three against his will.

If necessary, Grim would even have to staged a gesture to pacify them in order to avoid triggering the situation to worsen.

The three Mirwa chose to surrender at the last minute, clearly still having reluctance deep inside. If they were not properly punished, it would not deter those double-crossing people. But if the punishment was excessive and provoked them to share the same enemy, it would cause unnecessary trouble for the subsequent fusion....

Grim was assisted by the chip, but he was still somewhat overwhelmed by such a complicated and treacherous situation. Most of his past years had been spent in meditation and laboratories, and he was not familiar enough with such things as 'politics'.

But the good thing was that the Wizard World was a world where power was the most important thing, and as long as he had a firm grasp on the strongest force, the other side wouldn't dare to do anything too overstepping.

And time, was always on his side!

As Grim mulled over what to do with the three Milva, low conversations and rustling footsteps sounded outside the door of the dwelling he was resting in.

"Billis, what's going on?" Grim inquired unhappily.

The door to the chamber opened, and Billis, the worm wizard, bowed and pestled in the doorway, answering with his strange worm hiss, "My lord, it was the Milva wizard who was concerned about the lack of slave service on your side, and sent a few maids in particular..."

A maid?

Grim's gaze was distantly visible through Billis' side, and he saw several graceful, tall figures behind him.

"Let them in!" Grim's mind whispered.

"Yes!" Only then did Billis the Worm Wizard return, his green, dense, weird compound eyes sweeping quickly over several young girls, and hissed, "You can go in now!"

Grim had made some elaborate preparations for this stay at the Annemado Academy.

The 4th stage Thunder Lord Ames was stationed in the Crimson Fleet, Meryl acted as the fleet commander in chief, and the one who accompanied Grim to the academy was Billis, who was currently a 3rd stage intermediate Worm Witch.

With a 3rd rank Worm Witch at the gate outside and a 4th rank Shadow Demon inside, Grim's own strength hadn't fully recovered, but with the dual artifacts, it wasn't a match for an ordinary 4th rank witch. It was because of this confidence and certainty that he was invited to stay at the academy and take a nap here for the night.

A total of five women came in, all with outstanding looks and figures, two of them still had striking witchcraft fluctuations on their bodies and seemed to have the qualifications of witches.

Grim looked up and slowly swept past them all, a smile appearing on his face if he had one.

Maids? Just by looking at their attire and ceremonial postures, one could deduce that they weren't any real maids, but rather noble ladies who were usually well-bred. As for those two, they were simply witches with 2nd rank strength.

That Milva had sent them here....

Stealing a glance to see Grim snickering in a deep voice, the two young girls with sorcery fluctuations remaining on their bodies simultaneously stepped forward and bowed.

"Lord Grim, please don't doubt that the head of our family has no malicious intent..."

"Oh?"

"The patriarch is worried about the lack of servants to wait on your lordship here, and that's why he asked us to rush here." At this point, this young girl pulled her shoulder shirt downward, revealing a brand-like witchcraft rune, and whispered, "In order to avoid any misunderstanding from your lordship, the two of us were already sealed with all our witchcraft powers by the witch seal before we came here. If you don't believe me, your lordship can check the integrity of the Sorcery Seal himself..."

The other witch similarly pulled down her upper garment, revealing the round witch seals on her shoulders on both sides as well as the beautiful upper half of her fluorescent white and snowy body, bending her knees and saluting, "Your Excellency, please don't worry, we are carefully trained witches from within the family and have received special training in that area, we guarantee that we will satisfy you!"

The two witches were fine with it, but the three mortal women all had blushing cheeks, blushing with shame, and their heads were about to stick into their chests.

Ever since they stepped into this dwelling, they have had a sneak peek at this legendary and terrifying sorcerer.

To their surprise, the legendary fire witch who had shaken the Tallinn of the Scattered Earth was a very young and handsome man.

As it was nearing the time of sleep, Grim was not wearing a witch's robe, but rather was naked, with only a light spider silk sleeping robe draped over his body.

At less than four hundred years of age, Grim was in the first half of his life, and his strong physique, though greatly damaged by the heavy trauma he had suffered some time ago, still displayed a tall and strong physique with smooth lines, full muscles, and perfectly proportioned limbs.

What's more, having been immersed in magical energy for years, every inch of Grim's body, every piece of flesh and blood was filled with the explosive power of flame energy. Flame energy and life energy muddled together, fusing into an evil power that was filled with a strong androgynous atmosphere!

Coupled with the encroachment and transformation of the Flame Laws over the years, it also made Grim's every move and every breath that came through his body overflow with the smell of a law that one dared not disobey.

Grim slouched languidly slumped on the wooden chair, a head of long dark red hair spread out behind him, the open opening of his robe revealing a large patch of shimmering dark red chest skin. From afar, a faint layer of dark red energy could be seen flowing and lingering on the surface of Grim's amber-like, crystal-clear skin.

Even after deducting the outer aura of false names like Legendary Fire Witch and Super Strongman, just with this life-filled male body alone, Grim was enough to attract the scorching gazes of all the young girls and young women.

At the very least, the three carefully selected maidens and the two equally beautiful witches couldn't help but hyperventilate and their faces pounded with heat.

Suddenly, the sense of shame they felt before coming here, of being forced and dispatched as lowly women, had inexplicably disappeared. Gently licking their red lips, they suddenly felt that this act of sacrifice for the sake of their family and clan might not be as difficult as they thought....

"You guys go down first! Billis, find them a room for them to stay in first..." with the chip's subtle perception, Grim, who could detect every hint of mental change in them, smirked and simply sent them out.

Of course, Grim wasn't an abstinence-keeping willow, but at this critical moment, he didn't want to damage the good situation in front of him because of the district's greed and lust.

After the five women were taken away by Billis with a disappointed look on their faces, Grim put away the piece of parchment, and only then did he gaze at it and start thinking about a new problem that had just been born.

So far, he didn't seem to have a single offspring that he could call his direct bloodline. This...I'm afraid it's going to brew into a huge problem in the near future as well!

One must know that the most core of any wizard family was the origin bloodline.

Now, the Crimson Family he founded had grown so large, but what was the true origin bloodline? Surely it should be a direct descendant of his birth!

This way, even if Grim were to one day advance to Level 5 and be forced to travel far beyond the domain, the Crimson Family would closely hug around his direct lineage and continue to contribute to the Crimson Family.

But right now, he didn't seem to have any offspring, nor was there any sign of direct descendants in the near future... Thinking so, this was a problem that needed to be resolved urgently and immediately!
