Age of Adepts

Chapter 738 Family Strategy

However, such prices are also acceptable.

Grimm, after all, has taken out the nest of four giant dragons, and the resources and stones he captured will be sold to support this new witch tower.

Besides, the materials and resources needed to build the Flame Throne have been collected over this period of time, and Grimm certainly needs to reintegrate his resources and strengths.

Because of its remoteness and the lack of suitable stone substitutes nearby, the construction of this medium-sized witch tower lasted exactly two months. To avoid the trouble of the Rin Winter Witch, Alice sent Chevy Ice as her supervisor.

It has to be said, however, that the Silver Alliance does have its own unique place in puppet making and witch tower architecture. In the previous month, the convoys they had sent to deliver supplies were endless, almost turning the cold, silent ice-cold collar into a lively market.

Almost all the supplies that came from such a great battle were heavy stones of all kinds and specially treated witch tower components. Three Silver Alliance wizards commanded a large crowd of stone demonic statues, iron demonic statues and fabric puppets. In just over a dozen days of kung fu, they erected a 90-metre tall ice and snow tower with a 300-metre diameter tower.

Yes, to suit the environmental and elemental characteristics of the ice-collar, they recommend Grimm an ice-cold tower. The stones of the outer layer of the tower are made of ice gel, a special material that absorbs free ice elements in the air and continuously strengthens its hardness.

This is ideal for ice-cold collars.

The climate is cold and cold because the ice wind territory is on the northern edge. In mid-December of the year, temperatures will rise above zero only in July and August, with the rest of the time around 20 degrees below zero.

With these conveniences, it is expected that the foundation defense of the tower will reach 450—600 degrees when it is built, even without considering the added effects of witchcraft protection and magical energy. If the tower's own defense system is activated in a timely manner, the base defense of the tower can reach an incredible 1000 degrees.

It also means that even without a peer wizard, a 3rd level wizard can hardly hurt this tower at all!

More importantly, as a medium-sized witch tower, it is already eligible for environmental change within a ten-mile radius of a small control party. Of course, achieving this effect will require a tremendous amount of energy to be consumed by the tower, and may affect the operation of the energy system in other parts of the tower.

The original Fire Throne was only a small witch tower, which, although fully equipped, contained extremely few witchcraft facilities. A full-featured alchemy lab requires basic services for more than twenty wizards and nearly a hundred wizard apprentices at the same time, and any major witchcraft experiment by high-end wizards could last a month or two.

This situation, if it persists for a long time, is not conducive to the progress of family wizards and apprentices!

The emergence of this medium-sized witch tower has completely reversed this disadvantage.

Spacious and plentiful apprenticeship huts, so that the wizard apprentices no longer have to squeeze two or three people into a stone room. The expansion of space in the tower also provides more space for wizards and apprentices to live and operate.

The emerging family library is adding a large number of books, many of which are new knowledge captured from different backgrounds. Of course, advanced knowledge remains firmly in the hands of the family, but some enlightening or forward-looking basic knowledge and subjects are already open to all family members.

Having access to rare materials and cross-border knowledge that are hard to find inside the family and the right to purchase at discounts is the most appealing part of a wizard family!

Otherwise, the sorcerer apprentices struggle to shred their heads and strive to become internal members of some large family or power of sorcerers, precisely for the benefits and privileges that these wandering sorcerers and apprentices will never touch.

You know, most wizard apprentices aren't that talented, and they can't be from a wealthy aristocratic family. So even a one-and-a-half star discount or discount means they can take fewer risks and take fewer dangerous monster hunts or ruin explorations.

In the absence of powerful witchcraft protection and incomplete self-defense and attack witchcraft during apprenticeship, any adventure means putting life in the hands of the Goddess of Destiny.

Therefore, good family welfare and well-resourced wizard families can constantly attract a large number of wizard apprentices. With a sufficient number, the wizard family is able to pick talent and potential from it to focus on cultivation.

And a good wizard training system is the key to the long-term foundation of all wizard families in the wizard world!

In this regard, the Deep Red family created by Grimm is lacking.

It has to be said that Grim's aggressive development strategy has also had a tremendous impact on the Deep Red family.

Throughout the current Deep Red family, a full-blown 2nd level wizard is no more than Grimm and Mary. Like Tikool, who manages the goblin tear, like Oliven, the dragon phage girl, after all, is just a group of heretics with second-degree power.

As for the Dragonman Zachar, the Blood Knight and the Blood Pokémon, they are only second-degree servants of Grimm and Mary, not official tower wizards.

Check your fingertips, now the Deep Red family, the number of second-degree creatures has even surpassed the number of first-order wizards. This also heralds a top-heavy and dangerous situation for the future development of the family.

Responsibly speaking, the Deep Red family today, ninety-nine percent of its strength, rests on Grimm and Marie. Once either of them is in trouble, the overall strength of the family will collapse cliff-like.

In previous years, Grimm had been constantly logging and killing in order to provide an adequate source of nutrition for the development of the family. Now, a geological position is in hand, a Lance position is slowly exploring, there is currently no idle period for big moves, it is also time for him to go back and sort out the family development framework.

The topography is the first private aspect of Grimm's crusade, where Merrill now sits in town and can barely turn over the big wind waves. For this aspect, because the Deep Red family lacks the necessary manpower to develop it deeply, the development model is still dominated by the autonomous development of the Goblin Empire, and the wizard only exists as a ‘super ruler’.

After that intense turmoil that affected the entire geocentric landscape, the goblins were fully aware of the enormous gap between their strength and the wizard. Though somewhat unwilling, he could only have promised to become the servants of the wizards, accepting the reign of the infidel wizards.

And the greatest gain the Deep Red family could take from the geological location was that abundance of mineral resources.

It must be said that, as a hypo-magical world, the geological location is a mess lacking in monstrous and magical resources, which can have alarmingly high reserves in metal deposits.

The Deep Red family, represented by Merrill, took a more gentle approach to the former geotechnical empire, transporting a large number of wizard resources to support some of the most desperate dignitaries who were eager to enjoy a luxurious life, and using them in an unequal way in exchange for massive amounts of metal ore and special alloys in each other's hands.

The last time a floating giant ship damaged the Fine surface was built with a large amount of geotechnical metal. And now, at the scale of the Deep Red family and the Goblins, it only takes six months for Grimm to save all the resources needed to build a second floating giant ship.

According to the data returned by Merrill, the Deep Red family is able to amalgamate all the resources appropriated each year from the geological point of view, valued at between 500,000 and 800,000 Demon Crystals.

Of course, if the Deep Red family did more, the heart of the wool could be darkened a little, and the profits from the geotechnical manipulation could be doubled. In this way, however, it will be difficult to guarantee a ruling order that is precisely situated.

Once the goblins have gone wild, I'm afraid the Deep Red family will need to temporarily draw in a large number of wizards to suppress and disrupt. At that time, the geological location will become a stinking war mud, involving most of the energy and force of the Deep Red family.

In a comprehensive analysis, it is absolutely inevitable that the fishing industry should be lost, but Merrill is now building a more rational and labour-saving ruling order!

As for the other Lance, it has always been Grimm's headache.

The monster resources and dragon resources there are abundant to cry about, but... with the current strength of the Deep Red family, they really can't swallow it.

So, rather than the Deep Red family occupying Lance's position, the Deep Red family secretly occupied an outpost camp in Lance's position, and then shot him there in exchange for a low-order dragon hunt.

Of course, the risk of hunting dragons is much greater than lying in a geographic position for money, and must not be carried out continuously for a short period of time, otherwise it can easily cause the dragon lords to bounce back.

But the return on a successful one is staggering!

Take Lance's largest number of second-order giant dragons, for example, and send a captured giant dragon to the wizard world at a base price of about 600-800,000 Demon Crystals. If you encounter wizards who are in dire need of dragons, the price is likely to double.

And that's just the value of the giant dragon itself!

But don't forget, each of these dragons is an expert in amassing wealth and converging treasures. If its nest is wiped out, the harvest of secular wealth, rare treasures and resources alone can outweigh the value of the dragon itself.

With proper planning and management, the Deep Red family hunts for a second-degree dragon in Lance's position at a base yield of about 2 million Demon Crystals. However, nearly half of these resources and wealth are allocated to warring family wizards, who can only reap millions of magic crystals.

But even so, the profitability of a Lance position is far higher than that of a Low Demon!

And more importantly, Grimm and others can harvest tremendous sorcerer resources to help themselves only from the Lance standpoint. As for the geotechnical surface, only low-end metal deposits are available...
