The birth of the Throne of Flame obviously greatly changed the development trend of this black forest.
Those who feel the deepest are the residents of Songta Town, 300 miles away.
Once upon a time, as a small town on the fringes of human settlements, they had been living under the shadow of raging monsters. Whenever a large-scale beast horde breaks out in the Black Forest, they can only desperately ask for help from the city of Baldan, which is the closest to the town, because there is a wizard tower there.
And the wizard family that has some interests in Songta Town will also send family wizards and apprentices in due course to help the residents of the town resist the impact of the beast tide. But this kind of help is limited after all. Once the dangers faced by the town exceed expectations, these foreign wizards and apprentices will never live and die with the town.
Therefore, from the beginning of the establishment of Songta Town to the present, there have been tragedies that have been breached by migrating herds twice. After every tragedy, a new group of immigrants will be transferred here by the wizards.
So, here is a scary place that people both love and hate!
But now, with the appearance of a mysterious witch tower in the Black Forest, this piece of mountain forest suddenly became peaceful and cold like never before.
The monsters that ravaged the mountains and forests in the past have disappeared, and even the number of large jungle beasts and fierce birds has dropped sharply. A succession of mercenary adventure teams braved the courage to go deep into the Black Forest for two or three hundred miles, but they didn't find any trace of the monsters.
Some known monster lairs have been abandoned, and places that were once considered Jedi, dead places have become safe places to come and go. These mercenaries who lived on adventures began to explore the crypts and caves one after another, looking for the lairs abandoned by the monsters.
For a while, the mercenaries in Songta Town became more active than ever, and every time they ventured out, they would return with a rewarding reward and bring back huge gains. And the wizard apprentices with simple pockets have also become popular. With them in the team, every time they explore the abandoned monster lair, they can bring back more and bigger loot.
At first they didn't know how it all happened. But as some mercenary squads extended their footprints to the place where the diseased forest used to be, they were lucky enough to visit the Wu Tower apprentices who were maintaining order in the forest there, and they knew that a 'great' witch tower had been erected at the bottom of the diseased forest .
It is no longer called the Sickwood Forest, but has become the Flame Cave that is passed on by word of mouth. As for the depths of the Flame Cave, that's where the 'great' Flame Throne Wuta is!
As soon as this news was transmitted back to Songta Town, it immediately caused a great sensation.
Not only the residents of the town became ecstatic, but even the wizard apprentices who were undergoing trials near the town were also extremely excited.
Out of curiosity about this mysterious witch tower, several apprentices sent by the wizard family hurried to the Flame Cave, and then visited the Flame Throne.
According to the general rules of the Wizarding Continent, they were lucky enough to stay in the Wuta for one night and get in touch with the apprentices in the Wuta. Thus they learned that the Throne of Flame belonged to the private witch tower of the Greem wizard of the Sarubo family.
The Sarubo family? I seem to have heard that it is an inconspicuous middle-class family in the middle of the mainland.
Greem Wizard? Sorry, the name seems extremely unfamiliar!
Greem's title of fire demon is actually a little louder in several areas around Feidnan City, a little farther away, and the wizard families in many areas have never even heard of it.
However, the speed at which news from the wizarding world spreads is still astonishing!
When this group of apprentices passed the news back to the family, the rumors about this fire demon soon became widely known.
A wizard who had just advanced to the rank resisted a strong enemy, and beheaded a veteran wizard in a one-on-two situation... Later, in a family conflict, he strongly killed an elite-level blood wizard...
As soon as these rumors were found out, they immediately attracted the interest and attention of many wizard families.
This... no matter how you look at it, a powerful wizard is rising!
As a result, more wizard apprentices poured into the town of Songta, and then turned to the mysterious witch tower—the Throne of Flame.
According to the general rules of the Wizarding Continent, except for very few areas where the wizarding towers are completely closed, most wizarding towers actually adhere to the principle of being open to the outside world. Each wizard tower will open a specific area for the wizards and apprentices who come and go to take a short break and replenish supplies.
And this is also one of the means for Wuta to earn magic crystals!
Of course, only wizards and apprentices can enter the tower for rest and supplies. Ordinary adventurers and mercenaries who want to buy enchanted items can only transfer through familiar apprentices. Therefore, the prosperity of Wuta has also driven a circle of apprentices in a disguised form, allowing these marginalized people to form a peripheral market around Wuta.
...
Billys is a wandering apprentice wizard.
Due to poor talent, he is 35 years old, but he is still only a junior apprentice. And the witchcraft he mastered are only two pitiful ones, exploration and weak light.
The former is not a strange witchcraft of divination, but a simple witchcraft to find out whether food is poisonous or not, and what effect a certain item has. As for the latter, it will create a slightly dim area of shimmering light around the caster, reducing the enemy's line of sight.
Yes, these two witchcrafts are neither offensive witchcraft nor defensive witchcraft, but... an auxiliary type of low-level witchcraft.
It was for this reason that Billis's family was just an ordinary noble family, and obviously couldn't stand him continuing to consume the family's resources, but he couldn't provide any return for the family. Therefore, 3 years ago, the family cut off the supply of resources and financial support to him. Billis could only regretfully leave the Wuta where he had lived and studied for 27 years, and became a wandering wizard apprentice. .
Of course, if he is willing to return to the family, he still has the opportunity to become a head of the chamber of commerce or a local nobleman, but Billis, who has made up his mind to dedicate himself to the wizarding cause, still dreams of becoming a great wizard one day.
Therefore, he would rather wander and practice in various regions than return to the family to be a well-behaved marionette.
When he accidentally traveled to the Elovis area, he happened to hear that a new wizard tower had popped up here in Songta Town. Holding the simple idea that the other party might recruit some foreign apprentices, Billis immediately changed his itinerary and headed straight for the legendary Throne of Flame.
The former Pine Tower Town has now become very lively, and adventurers and mercenaries with bows and swords can be seen everywhere. Seeing the apprentice's short robe on Billis, they crowded around excitedly and wanted to recruit him. Team.
In Songta Town at this time, no matter how poor a wizard apprentice is, as long as he has a wizard pocket, he can attract countless teams to recruit him. After all, the opening and storage of a wizard's waist pouch requires a certain amount of mental power, and ordinary fighters cannot use it at all. Only apprentices who have mastered a certain amount of elemental power can do it.
Therefore, if the expedition team wants to bring back more spoils, wizard apprentices must be recruited.
It's a pity that Billis had other plans in mind, so he rejected all invitations to join the team without hesitation. After hiring a familiar guide in the local area, Billis also smoothly passed through the dense forest for 300 miles, and came to the entrance of the rumored flame cave.
In fact, Billis was shocked by the bustle and noise here before he got close to the rock pile where the Flaming Cave was.
When there were still ten or twenty miles away from the finish line, Billis encountered many small teams rushing to the Flame Cave one after another. Their teams are big or small, there are more than a dozen hunting teams, and as few as three or four expedition teams. And like Billis, there is only one team with him and the guide.
The further he went, the more mercenary teams Billis encountered. They either carried huge prey on their shoulders, or carried huge blood-stained backpacks, striding happily through the dense and difficult black forest.
After many teams met, they would still greet each other loudly, asking questions like 'how did you get today', 'where did you find another hidden lair'... and other weird questions.
When they walked through the jungle together and came to a huge glade, Billis was completely shocked by what he saw and heard.
Here is the Black Forest!
This is a dangerous area nearly 300 miles deep into the Black Forest!
However, on the huge forest clearing in front of Billis, rows of simple wooden houses and simple tents were erected crookedly. The number reached three to four hundred, and mercenary adventurers in different costumes walked around the temporary camp casually. You could see stalls buying live animals and wild animal furs everywhere, and you could see them wearing apprentice short robes everywhere. The guy is haggling with the mercenaries...
Here... it seems to have become a temporary camp, a bridgehead and a supply point for surrounding mercenary adventurers to explore the surrounding area. And those who acted as camp managers were wizard apprentices who came out of the Throne of Flame.
In a corner of the camp, in a huge wooden cage tied up with thick logs, there are more than a dozen large jungle beasts, including ferocious beasts such as armored rhinoceros, razor boar, and raging ape.
And under the watchful eyes of Billis, many mercenaries were rushing there with bundled beasts on their backs, handing them over to an apprentice wizard in a green robe who was in charge of the stables, and then received a A heavy little cloth bag.
"My lord, the flame cave you mentioned has arrived!" The guide who led the way was an honest villager, looking at Billis with hope.
Billis knowingly took out a small cloth bag from his waist pocket and threw it to the other party.
50 gold coins!
In the past, no matter how many gold coins or even magic crystals Billis took out, it would be impossible for these guys without any fighting ability to go deep into the Black Forest. But now with the appearance of the Flame Throne Witch Tower, this black forest has become a very safe back garden, allowing most adventurers to walk, explore and hunt in it safely.
After dismissing the guide, Billis mustered up his courage and walked quickly to the huge hole in the center of the camp. Even at a distance of two or three hundred meters, Billis could feel the strong fire elemental breath blowing towards him.
Throne of Fire, here I come!
