A small banquet was held in Greem's residence.
A long table full of exquisite food, only twenty or thirty figures.
Although there were not many people, the atmosphere at the scene was very warm.
Whether they were staying in the wizard's tower or the family wizards stationed outside, they had all arrived one after another, and each of them was leading several apprentices behind them. Those who can be brought by official wizards are either quasi-shamans who are prepared to be carefully trained, or senior apprentices with outstanding talents.
The five apprentices under Greem and Kirby the goblin were in charge of the reception.
Although they were very busy, Kodal and the others were full of excitement, serving everyone present enthusiastically. Every once in a while, their eyes would involuntarily drift to the beautiful girl who was active among the wizards.
Yes, after being promoted to the rank of witch, Alice still did not break through the body seal of an eight-year-old girl, and her figure and appearance still remained in her eight-year-old state. Therefore, such a 'little' guy is in a group of official wizards in black robes or red robes, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be against the law!
But no matter how many apprentices were present, no one dared to make fun of this.
Alice's current status is completely different from theirs.
Once you become an official wizard, even if you are just a newly promoted wizard, there will be an invisible but real class gap between them and this group of apprentices.
Although there are rumors outside, after Alice became a witch, she lost all her witchcraft abilities and turned into a pure fortune teller. But a wizard is a wizard! No matter how weak the opponent is, it is only for the group of wizards.
For this group of apprentices, the opponent is still an insurmountable mountain above their heads!
Wizards have their circles of wizards, and apprentices have their circles of apprentices.
While all the wizards were chatting together, a group of apprentices also gathered together in twos and threes, discussing enthusiastically the interesting stories and rumors that happened in and around the family territory.
Some sociable apprentices even took the opportunity to walk back and forth inside, trying to make friends with those with outstanding potential.
Three days ago, Alice was just like them, an apprentice wizard, but now, she has become a big shot that they must treat with respect. Such an inspirational story obviously inspired the blood and passion of every apprentice, and also made the atmosphere in the venue even more heated.
"Alice, congratulations!" The first to congratulate Alice in person was Kiel, the body-training wizard resident in Feidnan City, and he took out a small and exquisite handful from his arms, with a fist-sized green inlaid on the top. Songshi's magic wand: "This is a ghost scepter, which seals a wizard-level evil spirit. Using it for self-defense is still very effective. This is my gift to you!"
"Thank you!" Alice happily accepted the gift with a sweet smile on her face.
Wizard Ferrier standing by the side gave Kiel a white look, and said softly: "Unexpectedly, Kiel, you are so strange to please girls. If that is the case, then I will give you a gift too. Here, Ellie Silk, this is a bottle of hydration potion, which can keep your skin moist and smooth for a long time. You have just completed the promotion, and it is the stage where your body needs to be recuperated... "
"Thank you, Sister Ferrier!" The smile on Alice's face became even sweeter.
Seeing that the two companions had brought out their presents, the remaining Korgan and Harrison couldn't help but look at each other and smile wryly, and could only rummage through their storage space.
In the end, what Korgan took out was a clear and pure white crystal, which is very suitable for making crystal balls for divination. What Harrison gave Alice was a witchcraft flip ring, which can bounce a directional witchcraft back to the caster, which is also a good magical item for protection.
Alice is obviously also a little 'money fan', and suddenly got so many treasures and wonders, she couldn't keep her eyes open from laughing. Holding these things with both hands, he kept having fun there.
"Let's find another place to celebrate! We are here, and these little guys can't let go..." Greem smiled lightly, and led several wizards into the secret room.
With the departure of these 'old guys', the atmosphere in the banquet hall became hot instantly. The apprentices, who were so suppressed by the wizard's aura, could finally celebrate unscrupulously.
Several apprentices and Goblin Kirby who belonged to Greem's department were surrounded by the crowd, and everyone asked about the situation of 'Wizard Alice', and the envy in their words was beyond words.
Due to the needs of the plane battlefield, more and more family wizards have been transferred to different planes. As a result, the number of permanent wizards of the Sarupo family in the Wizarding Continent has been at a relatively low level. Every family wizard basically represents a huge amount of power and interests.
The wizards may not be particularly concerned about these things, but for apprentices like them standing behind the wizards, they represent huge benefits that are too huge to give up.
If the Sarubo family is likened to a huge group of whales, then the many wizard apprentices surrounding it are small fish, living on the food scraps left by each other. If they can maintain a good interpersonal relationship with any one of them, the personal benefits obtained from this will also be doubled.
There were not many resident wizards in the Sarubo family, but now there are only two in the fire demon family, so the quasi-wizards of the fire demons such as Kodar and Meryl will undoubtedly increase, and they will be able to get more resources from the family. .
Such hidden benefits are enough to make any young quasi-witch jealous!
Ignoring the ups and downs among his apprentices, Greem and his group of wizards chatted briefly at the gathering before leaving. Although they are both wizards of the Sarubo family, everyone has their own secrets, and the content of personal research is not easy to share with others.
Therefore, the friendship between wizards is also extremely weak, and it is more of a mutual use and investment!
Greem, the fire demon's combat power, was already well known.
Whether it's a plane battle or a family war, his weight has far surpassed that of a veteran wizard like Korgan. And Alice is even more of an envious witch of the Northland, and she also bears the sacred aura of a candidate for the Witch of Destiny.
You must know that once Alice becomes a witch of fate, even if she is only a first-level witch, she will immediately have the same power and benefits as those fourth-level witch leaders. According to the ancient tradition and inheritance, the remaining witch factions must spit out the occupied territory of the Destiny Witches, and give the Destiny a chance to rise again!
This is a tradition and a covenant!
When any one witch faction rises again after its ups and downs, the other witch factions must provide the necessary protection and support. It is by relying on this tradition of mutual help that the thirteen witch factions will continue to be passed on, and they will always firmly control the Northern Territory of the Wizarding Continent.
So properly investing in a witch candidate is definitely worth doing. However, if Alice wants to gain the full support of the Sarubo family, I am afraid that more consultations and more interest exchanges will be necessary.
After all, the information obtained by Sanazar's interrogation showed that among the candidates for the selection of the Witch of Destiny this time, there were many elite descendants of other witch factions.
The reason why Angelina, the leader of the deceitful witches, sent someone to strangle Alice was because her granddaughter accidentally became an awakener of the bloodline of the Destiny Witch. In order to ensure that her direct blood can successfully become the Witch of Destiny, she just sent a large number of people to strangle the awakened ones who revealed their identities.
In the name of helping blood relatives, Angelina can also avoid other witches' accusations that she interfered in the selection of fate factions. That's why her actions seemed so unscrupulous, even to the point of being unbearable.
With her mountain standing there, some other wizard families or organizational forces would become hesitant when choosing who to support.
After all, Angelina herself is a fourth-level witch, and she has hundreds of official witches under her command. No one dares to ignore such a heavy strength.
To be honest, if it wasn't for Greem's deep participation in the "Fate Controversy", with the strength of the Sarupo family, they would not be willing to invest in Alice, a "person who must die".
This can be seen from today's celebration banquet.
Several wizards sent blessings and gifts to Alice on behalf of individuals, but Sanazar, the third-level wizard representing the Sarubo family, did not show up at all. And the service contract signed by the Sarubo family and Alice is only a short period of eight years, just before the start of the "Battle of Destiny".
This is enough to explain the attitude of the Sarubo family!
They are not optimistic about Alice's 'fate'.
To put it bluntly, if it wasn't for Greem's face, and Alice had successfully become a wizard, I'm afraid the Sarubo family would even hand over Alice's "apprentice" in exchange for some from the deceitful witch faction. Interests are in mind!
So when Alice saw off all the guests with a smile on her face, bid farewell to Greem, and returned to her own residence alone, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a dignified and troubled look.
Although she has the body and appearance of a girl, she has the keen heart of a sixteen-year-old girl.
The Sarubo family's statement is so obvious, how could she not understand it!
Should we just leave now without saying goodbye and find a place where there is no one to hide, or should we take shelter under Greem's wings and become the other party's vassal from now on...
All these difficulties make her in a dilemma!
Although she has the status of an apprentice witch of the Moya family, Alice knows it well. This is not enough for the leader of the Pale Witch to stand up for himself and confront Angelina head-on.
Witches have historically been united.
Sometimes in order to maintain this unity, it is inevitable to make some internal sacrifices.
One is a direct descendant of the leader of the Deceitful Witch, and the other is an ordinary member of the Pale Witch clan. Such two identities collide, if it is handed over to the Witch Council for adjudication, the decision made will definitely not be beneficial to Alice.
So on the issue of returning to the Moya family and staying with Greem, Alice was more determined than ever. At the very least, Greem was sincerely defending her, fighting for every chance of winning for her.
Alice could see this very clearly!
