Limited Free Chapter 0307 Doubts
This is actually the tragedy of most wizard families!
After becoming a wizard, due to the closure of the life energy system and the huge changes in body factors, it becomes a huge problem to reproduce offspring like ordinary people. 』Tianlai Novelww『w. ⒉ Even if there are occasional successes, the babies will most likely be ordinary people or simply some deformed fetuses.
However, if the wizard who is the parent is strong enough or the bloodline is strong, even though it is more difficult to give birth, the offspring born will most likely continue his (or her) powerful bloodline talent.
Most wizard families, especially blood wizard families, usually refuse to marry non-family members in order to maintain the purity and tradition of the family bloodline.
Within the He-Man family, the gap in treatment between family members who have awakened the power of blood and those who have not awakened the power of blood is simply staggeringly large.
Bloodline descendants like Celia will be trained hard by the family. If they are lucky enough, they still have a chance to become a first-level bloodline wizard. But once it is determined that the power of her bloodline is not enough to support becoming a bloodline wizard, her fate is doomed and she can only become a reproductive tool for other high-level bloodline wizards in the family.
Celia was very lucky and had a relatively powerful Grandpa Thacker to protect her, so she was able to spend a happy childhood in Wyrick Castle.
Therefore, when the big sheltering tree above their heads collapsed, their fate became dangerous and unknown!
Although her reason kept telling her that she must leave the castle now, Celia, who had never traveled alone, could not muster the courage to break out of this world.
After awakening the power of her bloodline, she also went to some primeval forests for adventure and experience, but this was all done under the protection of a large group of mercenary teams and family apprentices. And she still gained very little combat experience and life skills!
So when her brother, who was an ordinary person, kept reminding her, Celia was still hesitant.
Maybe the family will not be so heartless, maybe things will turn around, maybe Grandpa Thacker is just seriously injured and hiding outside to recuperate...
However, just as the two were hiding in the house and whispering, a feminine hissing voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Hide out? Jie Jie Jie... don't have delusions! You may have forgotten that you all have the blood of the He-Man family. It would be too easy to track down your whereabouts..."
The door opened, and a male wizard with a gray triangular snake walked in.
It's Exa!
The family wizard sent by the family to deal with Grandpa Thacker's funeral.
The two people in the room faced each other, their eyes showing fear and shrinking at the same time.
They knew very well that this Exar wizard had always been at odds with grandpa. Since the family sent him here, the decision made by the family elders is understandable!
Looking at Wizard Exar's strange vertical pupils flashing with a sinister light, Celia asked in a trembling voice: "How did the family decide on the death of Grandpa Thacker?"
"Of course..." Wizard Exar sneered: "No more pursuing it! After all, Thacker took the initiative to find trouble for the other party before he was killed. The other party has also submitted all the evidence to Sandi Talin. Association. The old immortals in the association are constantly putting pressure on the family to hand over the murderer who destroyed the stability and unity... Sak is already dead, what else can the family hand over? These wretches and scapegoats!”
"But Grandpa Thacker is the most famous elite wizard in the family, and the contract he signed with the family also contains necessary provisions to protect future generations. Does the family want to violate the contract?" Celia was already shouting at the top of her voice.
"Humph, the contract signed by Thacker does have such content. Unfortunately, don't forget, Thacker did not die during the family mission, but he ran out and secretly took over a killing mission, and instead lost himself in it. Now the family is very passive!"
"What did the family elders say?"
"This matter is entirely caused by Thacker, and the family has no obligation to bear the consequences for him. Therefore, the result of the negotiation between the family and the association is that the territory and industry owned by Thacker need to be handed over to the Salupo boy. And you …You descendants of Thacker bloodline need to be handed over as well.”
Having said this, Isaac glanced at the two of them coldly: "And in order to prevent the family blood from being lost, the family has specially appointed me to recover the giant snake blood from your Sak branch!"
The faces of the young men and women in the room instantly turned pale.
In order to enrich the bloodline power, any bloodline wizard family will divide into some foreign branches on the basis of the family branch, and use this method to absorb some powerful foreign wizards to serve their family. In some cases, these foreign branches will also be given part of the family bloodline. However, once a foreign member violates the family's interests, the bloodline may be brutally withdrawn.
And the recycling process is extremely cruel and terrifying!
Under the double oppression of the Salubo family and the Sand Tallinn Association, the Seaman family was forced to hand over members of the Thacker wizard line for the other party to vent their anger. However, the Seaman family did not want their family bloodline to fall into the hands of outsiders, so they sent Isaac to Wyrick Castle to host the recycling ceremony.
That night.
Celia, who had awakened the power of her bloodline, was taken to the secret room of the main castle. Her shrill and terrifying wails lasted all night until dawn.
Twelve days later.
All 37 members of the Thacker family were sent to Fednan City, and the deeds of Weyrick Castle, Vandir City, and the surrounding ten-mile land were also sent to the Salupo family.
According to the prior agreement, Vandir City was returned to the Salupo family, and Grimm obtained Weyrick Castle and the surrounding three-mile land. At the same time, five members of the Thacker family, a descendant with awakened bloodline, and four family apprentices were sent to Grimm.
As for the remaining thirty people, they had been dealt with by the Salupo family, including the grandson of the Thacker wizard. Because he had no power, in the eyes of outsiders, he was almost the same as an ordinary person. So he was executed before he even had the chance to be sent to Grimm.
In the residence on the seventh floor of the wizard tower, Grimm personally checked the group of five slaves.
Originally, Grimm was a little moved when he heard that one of the five people sent had awakened the blood power. But when he saw the people who were taken into the room, his mood suddenly became bad.
The woman was clearly marked as fifteen years old in the information, but looking at her lifeless and gray eyes and old and loose facial skin, she should be an old woman in her sixties or seventies. And in her body, Grimm could not sense the breath of blood power at all, nor could he sense the breath of any elemental power.
She...she seemed to be an ordinary person. No, she was a prematurely aged person who was more miserable than ordinary people!
Damn, that Ximan family was really ruthless. They completely drained the blood power in her body and didn't leave a trace for herself.
Such a Sack blood relative can only be wiped out directly. No one wants to leave the descendants of the enemy and come up with a revenge record decades later. Without the power of blood, she was no longer qualified to be a research subject for Grimm.
Grimm shook his head helplessly and could only look back.
The remaining four apprentices, the Salupo family had already investigated, had no blood relationship with Thacker. They just joined Thacker to gain knowledge and resources, so there was no need to kill them all.
After forcing them to sign a new service contract, Grimm threw them to Alice, who had just returned, and asked her to take them back to Weyrick Castle and clean up the property and servants there carefully.
The blood of Thacker's descendants was recovered, and Grimm could only grit his teeth and bear it. If even the resources and personal collections left by Thacker in the castle were "recovered", Grimm could only go to the members of the Heman family to have a good talk.
After dealing with Thacker's affairs, the next thing that worried Grimm the most was the escaped female illusionist.
Grimm always had a feeling that she was the key to solving the mystery of the ambush!
After returning to the wizard tower, thinking about that night again and again, Grimm felt that the whole thing seemed not so simple. The body-refining wizard Bloody Hand Butcher might be related to the Black Hand Association, but the Sack Wizard of the Heman family was definitely not someone that the Black Hand Association could invite.
Indistinctly, Grimm felt that there seemed to be another mastermind behind the matter, and their plot was not all about him, but also seemed to include... Alice.
This can be seen from the fact that they only filmed the Bloody Hand Butcher entangled himself at the beginning, while the other two main combat forces actually ran to strangle Alice and Kirby.
Kirby was able to survive because of its invisibility and partial deformation that ordinary people could not achieve, and Alice was able to survive because of luck.
To be honest, even Grimm did not dare to imagine that a quasi-witch could escape the attack of the elite wizard's talent. If it weren't for the void stone that Grimm gave her, I'm afraid that what he would see in the end would only be a completely petrified statue of Alice.
From all these signs, it seems that the other party prioritized to ensure that Alice was killed instead of himself.
This is very telling!
Moreover, the pursuit of the female illusionist has never yielded any substantial results. After searching the entire Sanditalin area, it seems that no one with such a figure and appearance has ever been heard of. This made Grimm suspect that the appearance she showed that night might not be her true appearance.
Why did the other party hide his identity so deliberately? chapter;
