Chapter 0722 The Rise of the Crimson Family
The return of the main force of the family also immediately boosted the momentum of the Crimson Family.
Some time ago, in order to prevent the Wu Tower from being attacked by the enemy due to the lack of power, the family almost closed the Fire Cave leading to the outside world from the Flame Throne.
Now, of course, there are no such problems.
Therefore, the Flame Throne, the Lava Hall and the Fire Cave are open to the public again. Those mercenaries, adventurers and wizard apprentices who have been waiting for a long time have once again poured into this underground Wu Tower, making it lively and noisy again.
Once these outsiders really entered the Flame Throne, they immediately found some differences from the past.
First of all, the defense system of the Wu Tower has become more and more strict.
In the past, the Flame Throne lacked enough witch beasts, so most of the patrol and vigilance tasks were completed by scorpion lions and vigilance witch formations. But now, these heavy and trivial tasks are handed over to some strange metal magic machines.
Unlike the metal puppets and structures of the general wizard tower, these metal magic machines have an extremely obvious alien style, and the energy circulation system and combat system are also very different from the puppet structures of the wizard world.
But no matter what, the addition of this group of new forces means that the strength of the Flame Throne itself has become more and more powerful.
Secondly, a large number of natural treasures and strange objects have also appeared in the Flame Throne's trading system one after another.
Whether it is the thousand-year-old tree heart, the sharp horn of the unicorn, or a large number of enchanted long swords, elven longbows and natural magic wands, they are all things with a special flavor. On them, you can clearly see the system imprint of a huge alien civilization.
Such a large number of alien treasures and weapons appeared in the Flame Throne, which can only mean that the Crimson Family has recently successfully conquered a certain alien world, and it is the home of natural creatures.
Some people with intentions passed on this information, which immediately attracted the attention of several major wizard families in the surrounding area.
From what the Fire Throne showed to the outside world, it can be seen that the Crimson Family has at least successfully conquered two or three different planes with completely different systems. More importantly, they don’t seem to have suffered much loss. At least, the people in the Crimson Family are all there, and there is no obvious loss of family members.
And this... is actually the biggest puzzle for other families!
The difficulty of conquering different planes is understood by any wizard family that has tried it.
With the power of a small wizard family, it is difficult to swallow up a complete plane in a distant alien world. It is so difficult to send more than a dozen wizards over, let alone occupy the entire plane, even to take down a solid plane stronghold.
If they are surrounded by the natives of the plane, they will often end up being annihilated.
And this so-called Crimson Family, the strength on the surface is only seven or eight wizards, and most of them are level 1 wizards. What means did they rely on to obtain these victories one after another?
Lucky? The enemy is weak? Have powerful foreign aid?
It is precisely because of this confusion that some neighboring wizard families can't help but start to focus on the newly established Crimson Family.
It's okay if they don't know, but once they get to know it in depth, these wizard families can't help but be shocked!
I don't know since when, this Crimson Family, which has always been weak in their minds, actually... actually has nine Level 2s.
Crimson Family Master Grim is a Level 2 Fire Wizard, Blood Queen Mary Wizard is a Vampire Wizard, Dragon Man Zacha is a Level 2 Magic Warrior, Goblin Tigule can control the Level 2 Goblin Tearer... In addition, two Level 2 Blood Knights and three Level 2 Blood Elves suddenly appeared in the Crimson Family.
Although these strange magical creatures cannot be compared with the orthodox Level 2 wizards, they are still a terrifying force when gathered together.
Compared with Level 2, the number of Level 1s in the Crimson Family is a bit scarce.
Earth wizard Meryl (1st level intermediate), insect wizard Bilis (1st level peak), wind wizard Desela (1st level elementary), Medusa Dana (1st level advanced), manticore Charon (1st level advanced), pharmacist Gargamel (1st level intermediate), forest demon Ava (1st level intermediate), nature wizard Amelia (1st level elementary), goblin Kirby (1st level elementary), old fox Wenlier (1st level intermediate), six blood elves (1st level elementary)...
In any wizard family, the number of 1st level wizards as the basic combat power is the largest, while the number of 2nd level wizards as the main combat power is obviously scarce.
But this development principle does not seem to be true in the Crimson Family at all.
The number of 2nd level members of this Crimson Family actually has a tendency to surpass the 1st level members. This...this is simply incredible!
And most wizard families have to desperately expand their secular territories, using wizard towers, resource points, family castles and other facilities to control more people and more land by point control. Only in this way can we discover more apprentices with wizard talents and then establish a complete and systematic wizard training system.
But this Crimson Family seems so strange. Not only is the family residence located in the Black Forest, there is almost no population and land around it that can be controlled. Even the family wizards have never been out of the house, and rarely leave the small wizard tower deep underground.
This makes the Crimson Family and the nearby wizard families seem so out of tune, like carriages walking on two parallel lines. If they don’t deliberately understand and inquire, the two sides will hardly have any intersection.
However, as the family's strength increases, it is no longer necessary to maintain the previous mystery and aloofness.
If a family wants to develop and a wizard wants to improve, they cannot do without resources and knowledge. And these, relying solely on your own family to passively collect them, will undoubtedly become extremely slow, and will also affect the improvement progress of the family wizard.
Therefore, with Greem's approval, a large number of natural treasures, rare objects, weapons and a group of forest elf slaves appeared at the Throne of Fire Auction House. Under the auspices of Goblin Kirby, he successfully attracted many slave traders and family representatives from the Sand Tallinn area, and the family's strength was slowly but significantly improved.
The current Throne of Fire is no longer the remote enclave with scarce materials and barren resources in the past, but has become a hot star place in the Ellowis region in the central part of the continent.
With the Flame Throne Witch Tower in front, the land between it and Pine Tower Town has become a "cooked land".
The forest paths gradually turned into flat avenues, and the jungle beasts and small monsters that lived here were wiped out by the swarming teams of monster hunters or adventurers. Therefore, small settlements appeared one after another, gradually developing into something like human villages and towns.
The once black forest gradually receded to the north, returning the nearly two hundred miles of forest around the Throne of Fire and the south to humans.
However, according to the agreement between Greem and the Sand Tallinn Council, all this newly reclaimed land belongs to the council's territory, and suitable personnel will be dispatched by the council to become the lords of this new land.
Although the wizards of the Crimson Family were dissatisfied with this, no one dared to stand up and make irresponsible remarks because of the prestigious reputation of the Sand Tallinn Association.
…………
Late winter.
An exquisite and gorgeous aristocratic carriage was driving slowly on the forest road.
The last ray of sunlight at the end of the distant sky sank beneath the dark sea of forest, making this forest road even darker and gloomier.
Although most of the large carnivorous beasts in the surrounding jungle have been driven away, it is still very dangerous to walk here alone at night.
Wilms opened the car curtain, glanced at the deep forest from a distance, and fell into deep thought.
The cold wind at night blew along the forest road, chilling his bones and making him shiver.
Wilms tightly wrapped the exquisite noble cloak around him, covering the equally gorgeous and exquisite armor underneath. As the eldest son of the Andorra family, he is a noble with the title of baron. He also learned some horse-riding slashing techniques from those knights, so he is not a frail noble playboy.
At this time, a long and shrill howl of a wolf suddenly came from the depths of the forest, making him even more confused and confused.
"Jim, can we reach the Throne of Fire tonight?" Finally, after a long and lonely journey, he couldn't help but ask this childish question to the coachman and butler who had followed him for many years.
"Sir, I'm afraid we won't be able to arrive tonight!" Coachman Jem exhaled a stream of hot air from his mouth, warmed his hands, and whispered: "There are still more than 40 miles of mountain road from the Throne of Fire. Parked and stayed in Giethoorn for one night…”
"Giethoorn..." As soon as I heard such a vulgar and inferior name, I knew it must be a simple little village with nothing but some shabby thatched houses and blackened fire pits.
This means that there are no warm and comfortable guest rooms, no sweet and delicious bread and hot soup, and it is impossible to have those beautiful ladies who can make him feel happy... Wilms became restless again, and For once I felt uneasy about the mission I had undertaken.
He sighed helplessly and lowered the car curtain to block the cold air outside the car.
After regaining his composure, Wilms once again took out the simple and elegant magic parchment from his arms and slowly unfolded it.
Immediately, lines of exquisite words written with magic ink on the parchment came into view.
"... Baron Wilms, the eldest son of the Andorra family, is hereby assigned to go to the xxx area to take over all the land, minerals and population there, and become the undisputed new lord there..."
At the end of the parchment, the unique magic seal of the Sandi Tallin Association and the witchcraft marks of the two elders are also engraved.
There is a new lord here!
