"Are you going to join our Wu Tower?"
The emaciated and withered Gargamel carefully examined the wizard apprentice in front of him with suspicious eyes.
"Yes!" Billis begged anxiously: "My lord, as long as you allow me to continue my studies here, I will definitely be obedient and try my best to do my duty as an apprentice!"
Gargamel listened with squinted eyes, and kept looking him up and down.
Well, primary strength...not too troublesome family and organizational background...and a wandering apprentice... Judging from these few points, the probability that the other party is an eyeliner placed by a certain family is very low. If any wizard family really wants to play the idea of the Flame Throne, it must be at least a senior apprentice to be able to be reused by their own side.
A junior apprentice with poor talent expects him to slowly climb to the top and grasp the secrets inside the Wu Tower. Even Gargamel didn't dare to have such an idea, let alone any conspirator making such a low-level mistake.
So the other party should be a poor apprentice who has nowhere to go!
Knowing this, Ge Gewu finally squeezed out an ugly smile on his face.
"This Wu Tower has just been established, and it is really in urgent need of manpower. We would not accept wandering apprentices like you who have no introduction or guarantee..."
Hearing this, Billis, who had an expectant expression on his face, showed a look of anxiety.
But Gargamel's words soon turned around.
"... However, for your sincerity, this wizard can give you a chance..."
"Thank you... thank you..." Billis couldn't help showing an ecstatic look, and thanked him repeatedly.
"Don't thank me first, let's see your performance first!" Gargamel grabbed it, and a non-gold and non-iron metal amulet appeared in his hand: "Leave your witchcraft mark in it, and take it with you, and then go Find Senior Apprentice Torre, and ask him to arrange rooms and work with you. From now on, you will be an apprentice of the Throne of Flame!"
"Yes... I'm going right away!" Billis obediently engraved his personal mark of witchcraft on the metal amulet, put it in his arms seriously, and then left the room after saluting respectfully.
After his figure disappeared into the room, Lin Yao's beautiful and charming body emerged beside Gargamel: "Why did you leave this rookie apprentice behind? Aren't you afraid of leaving a hidden danger for Wu Tower?"
Seeing Ava coming, Gargamel, who was full of viciousness, immediately transformed into the most caring and considerate husband, carefully helped her to sit up, and then put his right hand on her belly, which was not abnormal at all, silently Close your eyes and feel the strange rhythm of life.
Although the slightest breath of soul was not sensed in it, the intensity of life was significantly enhanced compared to before.
The forest demon Ava gave Gargamel an annoyed look, but the corners of her eyes and brows were full of pride and deep love.
"A boy like this, although not very strong, is the easiest to cultivate into a confidant!" The two of you have been bored with each other for a long time, and Gargamel explained as if suddenly remembering: "Wuta now It can be regarded as initially gaining a firm foothold, and there will definitely be a huge development soon. Whether it is from the host family or other organizational forces, some eyeliners will be inserted one after another. So we will wedge a few nails in it in advance, and in the future In order to have more control over the situation…”
"Huh..." Ava the forest demon is obviously not interested in this kind of thing: "You human wizards are full of minds, even a small witch tower requires you to fight over each other and do so many messy things..."
Gargamel shook his head and said: "This is not a bad thing, but a huge benefit! To put it bluntly, since our Wu Tower was built, the Black Forest around three or four hundred miles has become our appendage. As long as it If we don't fail for a day, no one will take away the benefits here. According to my estimation, within a few days, the Kamala family will send someone to contact us... "
"Kamala?" Ava the Forest Demon frowned, and couldn't help asking, "You mean, the wizard family closest to Songta Town?"
"Of course!" Since Greem handed over most of the authority of the Flame Throne Wizard Tower to Gargamel, he has become the butler of the Wizard Tower: "If they move slower, let the bosses of the Sandi Tower Forest Wizards Association The guy smells, I'm afraid the interests here have nothing to do with them... "
Speaking of this, Gargamel couldn't help stroking the few strands of goatee under his chin, his eyes the size of mung beans couldn't help but burst out with a proud light.
"What do you mean... the Santetalin Wizards Association will also send people?"
"Not only will they come, but they will come very soon!" Gargamel sneered triumphantly: "But these guys have always been arrogant, if you want to shave off a layer of oil on them, you have to look at a certain house." It's a trick... jie jie jie..."
...
It has to be said that Gargamel, a wild wizard who has wandered in the middle of the mainland for a hundred years, really has a deep understanding of the wizard family that is difficult for outsiders to understand.
On the second day after Billis joined the Throne of Fire, the envoys of the Kamala family and the Hatch wizards of the Sanditalin Wizards Association came to the Wuta at the same time, and they also brought the goodwill and contracts of their respective families and forces. .
What the Kamala family envoy brought was a contract of equality and cooperation, agreeing that the two parties, as equal and mutually beneficial partners, would jointly develop the resources and land within hundreds of miles of the Black Forest around the Throne of Flame. The Kamala family is in charge of contributing their efforts to open up a small settlement that can accommodate a thousand people between the small towns of Wuta and Songta, and Wuta is responsible for providing the necessary security.
Once the territory derived from this is formed, the Kamala family will occupy 70% of the territory and its people, and Wuta will be able to obtain 30% of the territory and its people without paying any price.
No matter how you look at it, this is a good thing for the Flaming Throne Wuta!
After all, this is only Greem's private Wu Tower, and it is difficult to obtain the full support of the Sarubo family. Without the support of his family, relying only on himself, where would he go to find a suitable leader, and where to raise funds to transform the remote and desolate Black Forest into a familiar land suitable for human habitation.
If Greem wanted to monopolize this territory, he had no choice but to reject the Kamala family's proposal, and then complete it all by himself. This also means that in the next hundred years, he will probably spend most of his time on the tedious construction of the territory and the trivial matters of eating and drinking for thousands of people.
And this is undoubtedly unacceptable to Greem, who has great ambitions and ambitions!
As for the Sandi Tower Lin Wizards Association, the conditions given are a bit harsh.
As long as Greem agrees, the Wizards Association intends to build a public city with the Flame Throne Tower as the core. However, those old fellows from the Wizarding Association were still unwilling to give up control of the city, and were only willing to share profits with Greem in the form of magic crystals.
In the future, the land, people, resources, and mineral deposits in the surrounding territories will be converted into corresponding magic crystals and fed back to Greem, but he will not be allowed to intervene in the power operation of the public city.
Such conditions are simply extremely harsh!
To be honest, Greem looked down on the terms offered by these two forces.
The conditions on the Sandraine's side were too harsh, and almost emptied Greem's power completely. As for the Kamala family, they couldn't produce what Greem really needed.
As for the territories and resources they are most interested in, Greem only cares about the latter, but not the former.
Territories and people? Can these make him a Tier 2 wizard
Now all his thoughts are on improving his own strength, and he is not enthusiastic about worldly power and wealth. If he now has a mature and stable family system, then the vast territory and continuous resources can play a real role in cultivating qualified and coherent family successors.
But to put it bluntly now, he is almost working hard alone. Even if Greem is given a large territory, he has no intention of slowly cultivating wizard apprentices and cultivating family wizards who are loyal to him!
Therefore, Greem didn't want to accept any of the conditions of the two.
But in this way, he would offend the local snakeheads and the old guys from the Wizarding Association at the same time. It is conceivable that the life of the Flame Throne Wuta will not be very easy in the future!
Just when Greem was in a dilemma, Gargamel, who had been prepared for a long time, whispered a few words in his ear, which immediately made him smile and shake his spirits.
Negative!
Gargamel's move is absolutely sinister!
So, the day after the two forces contacted Greem, the monsters made a comeback again.
A team of adventurers who crossed the flame cave and ran to the northern forest to explore was suddenly attacked by a group of monsters. The team of five only ran back with one thief.
When he fled back to the temporary camp covered in blood, it immediately aroused the riots of everyone.
Is the tranquility of the Black Forest for half a month just an illusion? Haven't the surrounding monsters been wiped out yet? Could it be that new monsters broke into this vacuum territory
A series of questions made the mercenary adventurers worried...
With their strength, it would take a lot of risk to slaughter those jungle beasts. Once they encounter those terrifying monsters, their team will be ten times larger and their equipment ten times more sophisticated, but they will not be able to resist the strange and powerful witchcraft ability of the opponent.
And the thief who fled back to the camp was quickly brought to the Wu Tower. In front of the representatives of the two parties, Greem asked him in detail what had happened to him.
They were attacked by monsters 70 miles northwest of the Flame Cave. The attacker was a terrifying magic dog with two heads. It led a group of twenty or thirty dog demons and attacked their camp in the dark.
The thief's partner was easily slaughtered with little resistance, but the thief managed to escape and overheard the conversation between the leader of the barghest and another terrible Medusa in the wild.
It seems... It seems that they are organizing a new wave of beasts, ready to attack the tower built by human wizards again at any time.
And this information was obviously beyond the expectations of all wizards!
