Age of Adepts

This is actually the sadness of most wizard families!

After becoming a wizard, reproduction of future generations becomes a huge challenge due to the closure of the life energy system and the dramatic changes in physical factors, and the idea of having children like ordinary people. Even if they succeed occasionally, they are most likely born ordinary people or simply deformed fetuses.

However, a wizard who is a parent is likely to continue his/her strong blood talent if he/she is strong enough or has a strong bloodline, even though it is more difficult to have children.

Most wizard families, especially blood wizards, often refuse to marry non-family members in order to preserve the purity and tradition of family lineage.

Within the Himan family, the difference in treatment between family members who have awakened blood forces and family members who have not awakened blood forces has reached such a tongue-in-cheek level.

Descendants of blood like Celia are brought together by their families to cultivate and, if they are lucky enough, have a chance to become first-degree blood wizards. But once it is determined that blood power is not enough to sustain her as a blood wizard, her fate is doomed to become a fertility tool for the rest of the family's high-ranking blood wizards.

And Celia was lucky enough to have a strong but powerful Grandpa Sark to bless her with a wonderful childhood at Willic Castle.

As a result, their fate becomes dangerous and unknown when that big windshielded tree above their heads collapses!

Despite the constant admonition of reason that he must leave the castle now, Celia, who has never traveled alone, has never been able to muster the courage to rush out of the land.

After awakening blood forces, she also went on adventures in some primitive forests, all under the protection of large groups of hired squads and family apprentices. And her battle experience and life skills are still scarce!

So Celia was still hesitating to remind her when her brother, who was an ordinary man, lived there.

Maybe the family won't be so desperate, maybe things will change, maybe Grandpa Sark is just seriously injured and hiding outside to take care of his injuries...

Yet just as the two of them were hiding in the house whispering, a soft hissing voice suddenly rang outside the door.

“Hide? Psst... don't be paranoid! You've probably forgotten that you all have Himan family blood. It's too easy to trace your whereabouts...”

The door opened and a male wizard with a grey triangular snake head walked in.

It's Axel!

The family wizard sent out to deal with Grandpa Sark's aftermath.

The two people in the room face each other, and their eyes reveal a frightening and shrinking look.

They know very well that this Lexa wizard has not been up against Grandpa. Now that the clan has sent him, the decisions made by the clan elders will be ignored!

Looking at the strange vertical eyes of the Wizard of Axa flashing a glow of insidiousness, Celia trembled and asked: "How did the family decide the death of Grandpa Sark? ”

“Of course...” said the Wizard of Axel with a grin: “No more pursuit! After all, Sark took the initiative to get into trouble with the other party before he was killed, and the other party has submitted all the evidence to the Scattering Tallinn Society. Old people in those associations are constantly pressuring families to hand over the perpetrators of destabilizing acts of solidarity. Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock! Of course you bastards are dead! ”

“Grandpa Kosak is the biggest elite wizard in the family, and his covenant with the family contains the necessary provisions to guarantee the latter. Does the family want to break the covenant?” Celia's been a little hissed up right now.

“Well, Sark's contract does have that in mind, but don't forget that Sark didn't die on a family mission, he went out and secretly took on a killing mission, but paid himself in. It's a passive thing to do with the family now! ”

“What exactly did the clan elders say? ”

“The matter was entirely Sark's, and the family had no obligation to bear the consequences for him. So the result of the consultation between the family and the association was that Sark owned territory and property that needed to be handed over to that Sarubo boy. And you... you, the descendants of Sark blood, need to be handed over together. ”

Speaking of which, Isaac glanced at two people with a cold eye: "And in order to avoid a family bloodshed, the family specifically commissioned me to reclaim the serpent bloodline of your Sark branch! ”

The faces of the young men and women in the house instantly grew white.

In order to enrich the blood power of any bloodline wizard family, some branches of foreign descent will be differentiated on the basis of the family's own branch, using this method to absorb some foreign wizard strongmen to serve their own families. In some cases, these branches of foreigners are also given part of the family lineage, but may be brutally retrieved if members of the foreigners violate family interests.

And the recycling process is extremely brutal and horrible!

Under the dual oppression of the Sarubo family and the Scattering Tallinn Association, the Himan family was forced to hand over members of the Sark Wizards' Department for the purpose of exasperation. But the Himan family didn't want their blood to fall into the hands of outsiders, so Isaac sent them to Willic Castle for the recycling ceremony.

It's night.

Celia, who awakened the blood forces of the Sark family, was taken to the secret chamber of the main fortress, and her terrible cry lasted all night until the dawn came.

Twelve days later.

Thirty-seven members of the Sark clan were all sent to Federnand, and deeds to Willic Castle, Van Dir City and the surrounding ten miles of rounded land were sent to the Sarubo clan.

By prior agreement, the city of Van Dir belonged to the Sarubo family, while Grimm acquired the Willic Castle and the surrounding three miles of land. Five members of the Sark family, a descendant of Awakening blood and four family apprentices, were also sent into Grimm's hands.

The remaining thirty have been disposed of by the Sarubo family, including the grandson of the Sark Wizard. Since he had no power, he was almost like an ordinary man in the eyes of outsiders. So he was executed without even a chance of being sent to Grimm.

In the residence on the seventh floor of the Wizard Tower, Grimm personally examined the group of five slaves.

One of the five people originally heard of had awakened blood forces and Grimm had a slight heartbeat. But when he saw a few people in the room, his mood suddenly got worse.

The woman in the head, clearly marked fifteen years old, but look at her atheistic eyes, old and relaxed facial skin, should be an old woman of sixty or seventies years old. In her body, Grimm could not perceive the smell of any blood force, nor any elemental force.

She seems to be an ordinary person. No, he's a much more miserable man of premature decay than ordinary people!

Damn, the Himan family did a great job of draining the power of her bloodline completely, leaving no trace of herself.

Such Sark blood relatives can only be wiped out directly, no one is willing to leave behind future generations of enemies, and after decades there will be another revenge or something. Without blood, she doesn't even qualify to be a research subject for Grimm.

Grimm shook his head helplessly and could only move his eyes backwards.

The remaining four apprentices, the Sarubo family, have investigated, and Sark has no bloodline. They only rely on Sark to acquire knowledge and resources, so there is no need to kill them all.

After forcing them to sign a new service contract, Grimm threw them at Alice, who had just returned, and asked her to take her back to Willic Castle and clean up the property and servants there.

The blood of the Sark descendants was recycled and Grimm had to bite his teeth to bear it. If even the resources and personal collections that Sark left behind in the castle were “recycled," Grimm would have to go and talk to members of the Himan family.

Finishing up with Sark, Grimm was most concerned about the escaped female illusionist.

Grimm always had a feeling that she was the key to unraveling the killer obsession!

Returning to the Wizard Tower to reflect on the night, Grimm felt that the whole thing didn't seem that simple. The Bloody Butcher of the Refinery Wizard may have something to do with the Mafia, but the Sac Wizard of the Himan family is by no means something the Mafia can ask for.

Invisible, Grimm feels like there's another mastermind behind it, and they're not all trying to be themselves, and it seems to contain... Alice.

That was evident from the first time they only filmed the bloody butcher strangling himself, while the other two main fighters ran to strangle Alice and Cabbie.

Cabbie survives by the invisibility and partial transformation tricks that are so common, and Alice survives by luck.

To be honest, even Grimm wouldn't dare imagine a quasi-woman escaping his life under the gifted assault of an elite wizard. If Grimm hadn't given her the empty stone, I'm afraid all he would have seen was a completely petrified Alice statue.

From these indications, it seems that the other party gives priority to making sure that the killing appears to be Alice, not herself.

That explains the problem!

And the pursuit of the female illusionist had never yielded any tangible results, searching the entire dispersed Tallinn region, and never seemed to have heard of a figure who looked like that. This leads Grimm to wonder what she might not have looked like that night.

What exactly is it that the other party is so intent on hiding their identity?
