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 the body factors, it becomes a huge problem to imagine having children like ordinary people, and to reproduce offspring. Even if there are occasional successful people, the ones born are very likely to be ordinary people or simply some deformed fetuses.
However, if a wizard as a parent is strong enough or has a strong bloodline, even though it is more difficult to give birth, the offspring born will most likely continue his (or her) powerful bloodline talent.
Most wizarding families, especially bloodline wizarding families, usually refuse to intermarry with non-family members in order to maintain the purity and tradition of the family blood.
And within the Seaman family, the disparity in treatment between family members who have awakened their blood power and those who have not awakened their blood power is simply staggeringly large.
Bloodline descendants like Celia will be concentrated and cultivated by the family. If they are lucky enough, they still have a chance to become a Tier 1 bloodline wizard. But once it is judged that the bloodline strength is not enough to support becoming a bloodline wizard, then her fate is doomed, and she can only become a reproductive tool for other high-level bloodline wizards in the family.
And Celia was very lucky, and was blessed by a fairly powerful Grandpa Thacker, so she was able to spend a beautiful childhood in Willwick Castle leisurely.
Therefore, when the big tree above them that protected them from wind and rain collapsed, their fate became dangerous and unknown!
Although reason is constantly telling me that I must leave the castle now, Celia, who has never traveled alone, still can't muster the courage to rush out of this world.
After awakening the power of her bloodline, she also went to some primeval forests for adventure and experience, but that was done under the protection of a large group of hired teams and family apprentices. And the combat experience and life skills she has gained are still very little!
So when her brother who is an ordinary person kept reminding her, Celia was still hesitating
Maybe the family won't be so heartless, maybe things will turn around, maybe Grandpa Sack was just seriously injured and hid outside to recuperate...
However, when the two were hiding in the house and whispering, a soft hissing voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Hiding away? Jie Jie Jie... Don't think about it! You probably have forgotten that you all have the blood of the Seaman family. It is too easy to track down your whereabouts..."
The door opened, and a male wizard with a gray triangular snake head walked in.
It's Exa!
The family wizard sent by that family to deal with Grandpa Sack's funeral.
The two people in the room faced each other, with a look of fear and fear in their eyes at the same time.
They knew very well that Wizard Exa had always been at odds with Grandpa. Since the family sent him here, the decision made by the elders of the family is self-evident!
Seeing Wizard Exa'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 Sark?"
"Of course..." Wizard Exa sneered and said, "I won't pursue it any longer! After all, it was Sac who took the initiative to find trouble with the other party and was counter-killed. The other party has also submitted all the evidence to the Sandalin Association The old immortals in the association are constantly putting pressure on the family, demanding that the family hand over the murderer who disrupted the stability and unity. Jie Jie Jie... Sac is dead, what else can the family hand over? Of course you guys Unlucky bastard, for the dead ghost!"
"Grandpa Kesak is the most famous elite wizard in the family, and the contract he signed with the family also has the necessary clauses to protect future generations. Does the family want to violate the contract?" Celia was already a little hoarse at this moment.
"Hmph, the contract signed by Thaker did have such content, but unfortunately, don't forget that Thaker didn't die in a family mission, but he ran out and secretly took on a killing mission, and instead paid himself for it. Now make the family very passive!"
"What did the elders of the family say?"
"This matter was completely caused by Sack, 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 property owned by Sack need to be handed over to the boy of the Sarubo family. And you ...You descendants who have the blood of Sark also need to be handed over."
Speaking of this, Isaac glanced at the two of them coldly: "And in order to prevent the blood of the family from being lost, the family specially appointed me to recover the blood of the giant snake from your Sark branch!"
The faces of the young men and women in the room turned pale instantly.
In order to enrich the power of the bloodline, any bloodline wizard family will differentiate some foreign branches on the basis of the main branch of the family, and use this method to absorb some foreign wizard powerhouses to serve their family. In some cases, these foreign branches will also be given part of the family blood, but once the foreign members violate the interests of the family, they may be cruelly withdrawn from the blood.
And the recycling process is extremely cruel and terrifying!
Under the double oppression of the Sarubo family and the Sandi Talin Association, the Seaman family was forced to hand over members of the Sark wizard line for the other party to vent their anger. But the Seaman family didn't want their family blood to fall into the hands of outsiders, so they sent Isaac to Wilwick Castle to preside over the recovery ceremony.
That night.
Celia, who had awakened the blood power of the Sark family, was taken to the secret room of the main castle, and her horrific wailing lasted all night, until it was almost dawn before it fell silent.
Twelve days later.
The thirty-seven members of the Sark family were all sent to Feidnan City, and the title deeds of Verwick Castle, Fandil City and the surrounding land within a ten-mile radius were also sent to the Sarupo family.
According to the prior agreement, the city of Fandil belonged to the Sarubo family, and Greem got the castle of Willick and the surrounding three miles of land. At the same time, five members of the Sark family, a blood descendant with an awakened bloodline, and four family apprentices were sent to Greem at the same time.
As for the remaining 30 people, they have been disposed of by the Sarubo family, including the grandson of Wizard Sark. Since he doesn't have any power in his body, in the eyes of outsiders, he is almost no different from an ordinary person. So he was executed without even having a chance to be sent to Greem.
In the residence on the seventh floor of the Wizard Tower, Greem personally inspected the group of five slaves.
Originally, Greem was a little bit moved when he heard that one of the five sent here had awakened the power of his bloodline. But when he saw the few people being escorted into the room, his mood suddenly turned bad.
The woman in the lead was obviously fifteen years old on the information, but judging by her lifeless gray pupils and old and loose facial skin, no matter how you look at it, she should be an old woman in her sixties or seventies. And in her body, Greem couldn't feel the slightest breath of blood power, nor could he feel any breath of elemental power.
She... she seems to be an ordinary person. No, it is a premature aging person who is more miserable than ordinary people!
Damn it, that Seaman family did an amazing job. They even completely emptied the power of blood in her body, leaving nothing for themselves.
Such blood relatives of Sark can only be wiped out directly, no one wants to leave the offspring of the enemy, and there will be a revenge story decades later. Without the power of her blood, she didn't even have the qualifications to be a research subject for Greem.
Greem shook his head helplessly, and could only look back.
The remaining four apprentices have been investigated by the Sarubo family, and they have no blood relationship with Sac. They just rely on Sark to obtain knowledge and resources, so there is no need to kill them all.
After forcing them to sign a new service contract, Greem threw them to Alice, who had just come back, and asked her to take them back to Verwick Castle, and carefully clean up the property and servants there.
The bloodline of the descendants of Sark had been withdrawn, and Greem could only grit his teeth and endure it. If even the resources and personal collections left by Thaker in the castle are "recycled", Greem can only talk to members of the Seaman family.
After dealing with Thaker's matter, the next thing that worried Greem the most was the escaped female illusionist.
Greem always had a feeling that she was the key to unraveling the killing puzzle!
After returning to the wizard's tower, thinking about savoring that night, Greem felt that the whole thing was not that simple. The Body Refining Wizard, Bloody Butcher, might be related to the Black Hand Association, but the Shark Wizard of the Seaman family is definitely not something that the Black Hand Association can invite.
Vaguely, Greem felt that there seemed to be another mastermind behind the incident, and what they were plotting was not all themselves, it seemed that Alice was also included in it.
This can be seen from the fact that they only photographed the blood-handed butcher entangled themselves at the beginning, while the other two main combatants actually ran to strangle Alice and Kirby.
Kirby's survival depends on his invisibility and partial deformation skills, which are difficult for ordinary people, while Alice's survival depends on luck.
To be honest, even Greem didn't dare to imagine that a quasi-shaman could escape his life under the gifted attack of an elite wizard. If it wasn't for the void stone that Greem gave her, I'm afraid he would only see a completely petrified Alice statue in the end.
Judging from all these signs, it seems that the other party's priority is to ensure that Alice is killed instead of himself.
This explains the problem very much!
Moreover, the search for the female illusionist has never yielded any real results. After searching the entire Sandi Tallinn area, it seems that she has never heard of a person with such a figure and appearance. This made Greem couldn't help but suspect that the appearance she showed that night might not be her original appearance.
What is the purpose of the other party deliberately hiding his identity like this
