Kirslingburg, the residence of the Sandy Tallinn Society.
Inside a well-guarded witchcraft chamber.
The two guys who represented the highest authority in the association sat opposite each other, with sad faces and depressed mood.
After a long time, Chairman Fried finally spoke.
"How is it, what is the internal situation of the association?"
Vice President Mirva, who was sitting on the opposite sofa, had a gloomy face and flickering eyes, apparently also under the shroud of an extreme emotion.
"Basically, it's pretty stable!" Mirva replied in a hoarse voice: "Most wizards in the association have signed a service contract, and it's impossible for them to act indiscriminately before the contract expires. Instead..."
"What is it?"
"On the contrary, more than half of the new batch of apprentices sent from various places this year did not choose to sign with the association. They seem to be still waiting to see, waiting for the association to come up with better conditions..."
"These weak-willed bastards... If there is no association to organize them, they can only rot in the village, either becoming farmers or lowly adventurers... Immediately investigate the family they came from, and punish their family. Squeeze... hmph, I don't believe that they are half-hearted, and their family dares to be half-hearted... "
Milva nodded silently, gently rubbed the snake-eye ring on the tail finger of his right hand, and quickly conveyed a new order.
After doing all this, Milva couldn't help but said sadly: "It seems that Greem is planning to fight against us, how should we deal with him?"
Hearing his companion's inquiry, the old and cunning President Fried couldn't help but sigh.
"Although this Greem is young, he is very sophisticated and steady in his actions! In order to avoid confronting us head-on, he didn't directly expand the family territory. In this way, we can't find an excuse to call on the elders of the association to punish him."
"He is still young, at best he is only over three hundred years old, and he has a lot of time to spend with us. From the current actions of the Crimson Family, it can be seen that he no longer intends to launch a wizard war and expand the family's direct territory. And It is aimed at the next two, three, or even four or five generations... "
"Yeah, he is really patient. This is obviously trying to kill us!"
"In the past two to three hundred years, except for that Greem, no new fourth-level wizards have been born in the central part of the mainland for a long time. You and I have advanced for more than 800 years, and it is difficult to find even more life resources. Persist for another two hundred years. The other elders of the association are similar to us, and even the youngest Clara is five hundred years old... So, the other party avoided the frontal battlefield and chose the new generation. Guy's dying!"
"Hmph, after the old batch of Tier 4 wizards have passed their lives one after another, the new generation of Tier 4 wizards will inevitably live in his terrifying shadow... At that time, even if he doesn't launch a wizard war, the entire central Who dares to go against his will!"
The two high-ranking members of the Sandi Tallinn Association complained one after another, but they couldn't come up with any solution to deal with that Greem.
In terms of strength, that legendary fire witch is probably the strongest wizard in the central part of the mainland.
Some time ago, this guy had been to the residence of the Wizards Association in the eastern part of the mainland, and had a good 'communication' with the wizards there. According to the news that Fried got back, the Wizards Association spoke highly of him, and even listed him as the flame wizard closest to the superpower.
Super strong... what is that? Those are all powerful existences who are at the peak of the 4th order and most likely to advance to the 5th order!
And it has only been so many years since this legendary fire witch advanced to the 4th rank, yet he can get such a high evaluation from the Wizards Association.
Of course, Fried and the others will never doubt the judgment of the Wizarding Association, but will only secretly fear that the legendary fire witch's strength will grow too terrifying.
According to the development of this trend, the entire central part of the continent, and the entire Sandi Tower Forest will sooner or later become the possession of this legendary fire witch. And Fried, who has worked so hard to plan for this for so long but got nothing, is naturally unwilling, let alone everything he has done becomes someone else's wedding dress.
But looking through the list of tutors at the Houghton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a long list of prominent and dazzling names will come into view. Tier 4... Tier 4... Tier 4... So many Tier 4s, from Dragon Lord to Flame Lord to Undead Lich...
To be honest, seeing this list made Fried's heart tremble.
In the past, he might still have a ruthless spirit, wanting to frighten away that Greem's ambition by relying on the hundreds of years of life of the Sandi Tallinn Association. But now, looking at the number of strong men they have recruited, and looking around at the three walnuts and two dates around him, the fighting spirit gathered in his heart has long been exhausted.
For no reason, Fried felt a burst of inexplicable sadness and frustration, his tense spirit suddenly relaxed, and he slowly collapsed on the soft sofa, a drop of tear silently flowed from the corner of his wrinkled eyes.
"We can't beat him anymore..." Milva also sighed one after another: "If we old guys die, the whole central region will fall into his hands. So, in the next one or two hundred years, I want to carefully cultivate a few good seedlings in the family. Whether our inheritance can continue in the future may depend on them... "
Fried was silent and didn't answer.
In other words, as an ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years in the central part of the mainland, almost every fourth-level wizard has thousands or even tens of thousands of ethnic groups and blood descendants behind him. Level 4 wizards are heaven, and level 4 wizards are gods. As long as they exist for a day, no one will dare to infringe on the survival rights of these clansmen and descendants.
But once they die, the fate of these descendants and clansmen who have been blessed by them in the past will be worrying.
Who doesn't have an enemy or a family, once the umbrella is gone, those guys who have been suppressed by them for hundreds of years will take advantage of the situation and fight back. At least, the family will decline, and in serious cases, the entire ethnic group will be uprooted and strangled.
There are countless such things in the wizarding world!
Therefore, most fourth-level wizards will try their best to leave some life-saving means for the family after they have no hope of advancing to the fifth level, or try their best to cultivate a new strong man to continue the family inheritance.
But such a thing is easier said than done, and it is very difficult to do it.
First of all, the descendants of wizards who are not directly descended from the family, they are absolutely unwilling to train the strongest.
Non-my family, its heart must be different!
These wizards who came halfway, no matter how talented they are, level 4 wizards are unwilling to train them. After all, after these guys advance to Tier 4, they will definitely set up another family, and they will never regard the clansmen of their old club as their relatives.
Therefore, the ones who can really continue the family inheritance can only be the blood descendants of the fourth-level wizards themselves.
But in this way, the choice is undoubtedly much smaller.
Among the bloodline descendants of level 4 wizards, those who have the potential to reach level 4 are absolutely rare, and it takes an astronomical amount of resources to cultivate them successfully all the way.
In the case that the fourth-level wizards themselves have no way out, they must give priority to ensuring their own resource supply, and will only take some resources and knowledge that they don't need to take care of the younger generations of the family.
Under such circumstances, the chances of a wizard genius appearing among the descendants' direct descendants are undoubtedly even slimmer!
Therefore, there are too few examples of high-level wizards emerging in the family and continuing the family inheritance. Most of the wizarding families have ups and downs. When they are prosperous, they laugh at the heroes, and they are the same for a while, but when they are down, they stay in a lonely place and live a difficult life.
Even many wizard families died halfway, and not even a bloodline descendant could survive.
Like President Freed, the Sidmond family he belongs to has more than 3,000 members, and more than 400 people have his direct blood. Among them, there were 127 people with wizard talent, but only 2 were able to advance to high-level wizards and become third-level wizards.
Even the only two descendants of Tier 3 are not of much cultivation value. Because they themselves lack talent and potential, they barely climbed to the current level by relying on the accumulation of a large amount of resources.
However, among Fried's direct descendants, there is a direct granddaughter who has good talent and potential, and she is already a second-level senior at only two hundred years old. However, it is surprisingly difficult to raise her to Tier 4 within a hundred or two hundred years.
Therefore, thinking of the decline of his family after his death, Fried couldn't stop his heart from twitching.
He knew very well that if he offended that Greem now, there might be nothing the other party could do. But once he dies at the end of his life, the tribe and descendants he left behind will definitely suffer bloody and terrible destruction from the other side.
The wizarding world is so cruel and real!
When he was around, everyone would look at his face and treat the Sidmond family as an ancient and noble wizard family. But once he was gone... At that time, there was no fourth-level wizard in the family to back him up, so naturally he could only be mermaid, and the end would be extremely miserable.
Fried looked up at Milva, his eyes full of hesitation and pain.
He knew that the other party's family was similar to his own, and it was difficult to choose a junior who could stand up to the scene among the direct blood relatives. A few years ago, Mirva's grandson was so upbeat that he gave birth to a little guy with a good talent.
But now it's only a first-level intermediate, and it's a hundred times more difficult to train it than my granddaughter.
Therefore, the two of them, Ah Da and Ah Er, both had the same headache and the same embarrassment.
"It's impossible for us to fight that Greem anymore. But Clara and Alfred are still young, and they have three or four hundred years to live. They will never be willing to be suppressed by the Crimson Family! Perhaps, We should win them over!" Milwa twisted his beard and said.
"Alfred... that guy's Molten Fire City has now formed an alliance with the Crimson Family, and he has made a lot of money by selling rare underground ores. Don't expect him to come out to make trouble." Speaking of the Molten City Lord, President Reed was full of sulking.
But after thinking about it, he hesitated again: "That Clara can fight for it again. Her family territory is adjacent to the Crimson family, and she must be under greater pressure than us. If some friction breaks out between them, maybe they can suppress that one. Greem's arrogance..."
Milva's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but sneered and said: "This is not a simple answer, I will arrange it right away, and make sure that the two of them will fight soon! Hehe, with Clara in the lead, we will fight again." Going to Matthew, Nicholas and Gaia can at least suppress the development momentum of the Crimson Family and buy us more time to respond... "
After saying that, Wizard Milva immediately left the secret room excitedly.
