Chapter 0267 Mota City

Four days later. Tianlai『Novel』

Grimm and his party arrived at Mota City smoothly.

As the only public city within a radius of 500 miles, Mota City does not belong to any wizard family or organization, but is a public area designated by the Sanditalin Wizard Association.

Before entering the city, Grimm had already seen the public wizard tower that towered into the clouds and pierced the sky.

Faint fluorescence shone on the gray-white tower wall, and a ring of witchcraft light lit up from time to time somewhere on the tower body, and then quickly passed to the top of the tower above the clouds. Although there were white clouds blocking it, Grimm still saw some black spots circling up and down at the towering top.

The endless convoy gathered near the city gate, and was verified and released in an orderly manner under the command of a group of black-armored guards. There were men and women, old and young in the crowd, and the noisy and noisy voices were boiling.

Next to the rows of loaded carriages, the black four-wheeled carriage that Grimm rode in looked inconspicuous. However, when the black-armored guards guarding the city gate saw it, they hurried over under the command of a leader to clear the crowd blocking the road and let the black carriage slowly drive into the city gate.

There was no reason, no excuse, the Sarupo family emblem inlaid on the side of the black carriage was the best pass.

In the vast land of Wizard Continent 6, no one has ever dared to pretend to be a noble wizard. Because once such bad behavior is discovered, death is the lowest punishment that the impostor can imagine!

This is a magnificent and beautiful wizard city!

The streets here are crowded with people, and loaded carriages are slowly driving on the bluestone road, piled with a variety of goods, but most of them are luxury goods such as tobacco, alcohol, oil and tea.

Grimm lightly lifted the curtains and watched people of different skin colors and clothes passing by the window, with a faint sense of strangeness in his heart.

People living in the Wizard Continent are used to using their own way to distinguish who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked. Although the carriage that Grimm was riding was inconspicuous in appearance, the eye-catching wizard family emblem in the corner of the carriage made everyone change color.

The crowd moved aside from the carriage, and no one dared to stop the fast movement of the black carriage.

"You and Kirby go to settle down and book the cabin of the airship, I will visit the wizard tower!" After a brief explanation, Grimm gently jumped off the carriage, pulled up the black hood to cover his face, and slowly disappeared into the crowd.

The first thing to do in every area is to visit the local wizard organization, which is actually the tradition and habit of most wizards! After all, wizard organizations in various regions will choose to open some wizard facilities to the public, including public libraries.

And habitually collecting knowledge is also the most common thing wizards do!

Alice has been brooding over the past few days because she was charmed by someone last time and failed to witness the wizard war. Looking at Grimm who disappeared in the crowd, she held her cheek with a puffy face and said, "Let's go to the airship first!"

The coachman disguised as the goblin Kirby shouted loudly, waving the whip to drive the carriage forward.

As one of the few public areas in the Sandi Tallin area, this place does not refuse any wizard's visit. Even some wizards who failed in family struggles or power struggles can rest and recuperate here and obtain some not-so-rare wizard resources.

Some wizards who are determined to develop new families do not have their own territory when they first start. They usually use the public wizard tower as the first stepping stone for the development of their families. Build some public wizard academies here to recruit wizard apprentices who have no backing and background.

Using this method, it may not take a hundred years for a small force with several wizards and dozens of wizard apprentices to be established. Then what they need to do next is to survive between the numerous wizard families and organizations, and expand their own territory little by little.

Any mature land in the Sanditalin area has basically been occupied by families and forces of all sizes. If you want to grab a piece of bread crumbs from their mouths, you can only rely on war and strength!

If they succeed, they can become one of the nearly 1,000 wizard families in the Sanditalin area. If they fail, they can only retreat to the public area and continue to operate their own small organizations or forces to accumulate strength for the next impact on the wizard family!

In the previous family war, the reason why small organizations such as the Black Hand Association were so enthusiastic was not to be able to obtain a piece of their own territory, then raise the flag and form their own wizard family!

Unfortunately, the strongest among the first-level wizards in the organization was killed, and the two-faced wizard they invited at a high price also failed. This also indicates that the efforts of the Black Hand Association in the past hundred years have gone to waste. The efforts of the second-level green dwarf Pyro to form the Pyro family can only be delayed for a hundred years!

Level 2 wizard!

He is already a very important figure in the wizard community!

If such a guy is willing to join any wizard family, he will become a core member welcomed by the other party with open arms, and all kinds of rare resources will be at his fingertips.

But even such a powerful wizard, once he wants to establish his own family, it is difficult to resist the attack of any existing small wizard family.

Grimm relied on the benefits he gained from the Knight Plane to buy a Viscount territory of hundreds of square kilometers in the Sandy Tallin area. But so what? Surrounded by the covetous wizard families and hungry wizard organizations, even if he bought such a territory, how could he defend it?

Perhaps the first to send troops to attack his territory would be the wizard family that sold him the territory!

Resources and territories are indeed very important in the Wizard Continent, but the strength to protect resources and territories is more important than the former two!

Grimm walked slowly towards the Wizard Tower in the crowd.

There were fewer and fewer ordinary people on the street, and more and more apprentices wearing various college costumes.

Among these apprentices, there were middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, as well as old men with old faces and hunched bodies, but most of them were young men and women around twenty years old. Their strength is mainly junior and intermediate apprentices, with few senior apprentices, and no quasi-wizards.

This situation is actually very normal!

After all, in a place where public colleges are crowded, they recruit qualified and talented apprentices, which is much weaker than the wizard families with fixed territories and resource points. The lack of resources and the low qualifications of apprentices will lead to the phenomenon of low overall strength of apprentices.

Moreover, if every wizard academy cultivates quasi-wizards, they will be held in their hands like treasures, so how can they be willing to let them run around.

Grimm is covered in a black robe. Although he does not wear any emblems on his chest, the arrogance and mystery unique to wizards still make every apprentice who sees him hurriedly step aside and bow.

The apprentices who can hang out in Mota City are not rookies. They may not have other skills, but their ability to judge people is absolutely first-class.

Although Grimm was low-key enough, as he walked, the corners of his wizard robes were revealed under the black robes, which were decorated with mysterious and profound magic lines and runes. An exquisite silver chain tied the voodoo secret scroll to Grimm's waist. As he walked forward, the witchcraft book shone with golden rune fluorescence, which was obviously not an ordinary product.

Two dark red long hair hung down from both sides of the hood, and under the sunlight, they looked like two slightly jumping flames. And under the deep shadow of the hood, the cold face with clear lines and eyes as bright as morning stars can leave a very deep impression on people.

…………

Grimm walked into the gate of the wizard tower.

When a dozen wizard apprentices waiting at the side of the gate saw Grimm, their eyes lit up immediately. But before they could take any action, a round-faced apprentice with short brown hair stood in front of Grimm and bowed.

"Respected wizard, apprentice Thor is willing to serve you!"

The other apprentices showed annoyance. However, they did not dare to act rashly in front of a wizard. They could only glare at Thor and disperse.

Grimm did not mind the little tricks between these apprentices. He raised his head and looked around.

The clean and tidy marble floor, the fresh air filled with a strong witchcraft atmosphere, the small stone rooms close to the tower wall, and the corridors and hallways that extend in all directions...

Although there are many people here, it seems quite quiet.

All the apprentices walked in groups of three or five, holding piles of thick parchment books in their arms. Even if they needed to talk, most of them lowered their voices and did not dare to make a fuss in the secret hall.

The first impression was somewhat similar to the atmosphere of the university campus on Earth in the previous life.

"Take me to the public library here, I want to look up some information!" Grimm ordered.

"Yes! The library prepared for the visiting wizard is on the 5th floor. Please follow me!" The apprentice Thor was obviously familiar with such a request. He bowed politely and took Grimm to the floating disc in the corner of the secret hall.

The so-called floating disc is somewhat similar to the lifting platform on the earth, but it does not use mechanical power or electricity. A five-meter square circular floating disc can accommodate 20 to 30 people standing on it, but as far as Grimm can see, no wizard apprentice dares to set foot on it.

This seems to be a privilege exclusive to wizards!

Controlling the control center on the floating disc, a round, finger-thick stone slab decorated with exquisite patterns began to slowly float to the upper level of the wizard tower. On the corridors along the floor, wizard apprentices walking around with books can be seen everywhere.

The fifth floor of the wizard tower.

Apprentice Thor stopped before sending Grimm to a hazy light gate.

"Sir, this is the wizard-level library open to the public. Only wizards are allowed to enter here, so..."

"Yes!" Grimm nodded in understanding and threw three magic crystals into his arms.

"Sir, you don't need so many!" Thor showed a look of surprise on his face: "Only one magic crystal is enough!"

"I still have two servants. A female quasi-witch named Alice may come to see me later, remember to bring her here!"

"I understand, sir! Thor will complete the task." Thor promised firmly.

Grimm smiled calmly and stepped into the light gate. chapter;
