Age of Adepts

Throne of Fire, third floor.

In a magic secret room, Gargamel, the chief manager of the crimson, was listening to his subordinate's report with a gloomy face, while the beautiful and lovely wizard girl Emelia was sitting next to him, playing with a A delicate natural pendant.

The five subordinates were dressed in the costumes of mercenaries and adventurers, and it seemed that they had chosen to join the peripheral forces of the Crimson family. And in the corner of the secret room, there is a gloomy guy in a black robe, standing in a dark place where the light is difficult to reach, silent like a piece of wood.

"...he is the eldest son of the Andor family, and has the right of first line of succession..."

"...When he left the Sandi Tallinn Association, he was received by the elders of the association, but what they talked about is unknown..."

"...Accompanies him are two wizards from the family, both of which are only Tier 1..."

"...It is said that he has a lord identity certificate issued by the association..."

"...I'm rushing to the Flame Throne now, and I may spend the night in Giethoorn Village tonight..."

Several subordinates talked to each other, and all the information revolved around the new lord of the association who was about to take office here.

As the human settlements slowly take shape, the honeymoon period for the Throne of Fire and the Santearin Society is officially over. For a long period of time in the future, the Sandi Tower Forest Association will choose to oppress the Throne of Fire, in order to force them to join the association obediently and become members of it.

And this obviously doesn't match the development tone set by Patriarch Greem!

Of course, a lame trick of blatant provocation is unlikely. However, once the new lord takes office and remains hostile to the Flame Throne, the Crimson Clan's supply of supplies and resource transactions will be greatly affected.

This must have been a strategy of Santetalin as well.

If the Sandi Tower Forest Association does not send a suitable lord for a long time, then the Crimson Family represented by the Throne of Flame will rely on the advantage of the Wu Tower to extend the influence of the family to every piece of land and every person in the Elovis area .

From now on, any humans or monsters who want to live and develop here must act according to the face of the Crimson Clan. Without the Crimson Family's nod, it will always be difficult for them to gain a foothold here.

However, once the new lord sent by the Sandi Tallinn Association appears in the Elovis area, the Crimson Family can only control their influence within ten miles around the Flame Throne in accordance with the witchcraft contract signed with the association. In this way, it will undoubtedly lose the forest resources nearly 200 kilometers south of the Throne of Flame.

And this part of the black forest has been continuously 'purified' by the Wuta, and it is no longer a threat to human beings. It basically belongs to the most suitable 'cooked land' for development. Throwing it away for nothing would undoubtedly be a huge loss to the Crimson Family.

Moreover, the Throne of Flame went deep into the Black Forest, and the territory behind him did not belong to him, but belonged to a human noble who was deeply hostile to him.

This... will undoubtedly make the Crimson family very uncomfortable!

Use a human nobleman to guard the only passage of the Crimson family to the outside world, and use this method to slowly torture this new wizard family. If the Crimson Family can't help but choose to fight back, then the Sandi Tower Forest Association hidden behind the scenes will jump out as a peacemaker to make peace.

Of course, no matter how they mediate, the final result cannot be beneficial to the Crimson family.

Anyway, there are so many human nobles, the Crimson family can kill them if they want. After killing them, the Crimson Family may have to pay an unimaginably high price for it!

Therefore, as a stumbling block sent by the Sandi Tower Forest Association to run on the Crimson family, this new lord is undoubtedly extremely sad. He is doomed to sacrifice his life to obtain some benefits for the Sandi Tallinn Association that cannot be obtained on the table.

Therefore, the Crimson Clan, who had obtained the information in advance, was full of repulsion and disgust towards the arrival of the new lord.

It's just that this poor guy is a bait randomly thrown by the other party. Killing him will only allow the Sandalin Association to find a suitable entry point in the Elovis area. If the Sand Tower Forest Association is really allowed to extend its black hands into this area, it will undoubtedly be very detrimental to the long-term development of the Crimson Family!

So even if the new lord is just an ordinary nobleman, Gargamel, as the head of the Crimson, must still treat it with caution.

"Father, if you don't like that human lord, I'll go and kill him. Why bother?" Emelia, who was sitting on one side, asked in bewilderment. She looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old human girl, but she didn't feel nervous or cautious when talking about killing people. She seemed as relaxed and comfortable as drinking afternoon tea.

"It can't be killed easily!" Gargamel sighed helplessly: "He may be insignificant, but the Andorra family he belongs to is an affiliated force of the Brabant family, the five great wizard families in Sanditalin. Once the cause of death is investigated, the other party will There is an excuse to extend black hands into the territory of our Crimson family."

"Then just create some trouble for him, so that he can't gain a foothold here." Emelia said disdainfully: "Those human nobles are all lazy, lazy, extravagant guys. The environment here is so bad. How long can you hold on..."

For her daughter's proposal, Gargamel deeply agrees.

The wizards are also well aware of the virtues of those human nobles, and it is simply wishful thinking to want them to start from scratch with the poor and humble villagers.

After hundreds of thousands of years of class solidification, the ruling order established by wizards is impossible to resist with the help of civilians without any supernatural power. Therefore, as minions and lackeys of wizards, these human nobles have also become masters, enjoying a luxurious life unimaginable by ordinary people.

And this Baron Wilms, as the first heir of the family, was actually selected to this place, which makes people have to suspect that he may have become a victim of his own family's internal struggle, and was thrown away like a pawn come out.

He also came with two family wizards, which further affirmed Gargamel's cognition.

With the protection of the wizard, it is even less likely that Wilms will die by accident or by the mouth of jungle beasts. In the entire Elovis region, only the Crimson Family could kill him under the protection of the two wizards.

He can't be killed, but he can't be allowed to run amok here and reduce the actual control of the Crimson Clan. So Gargamel frowned, and then smiled coldly.

"Take these... remember, find a way to put it in the food of the new lord. One pill a day, keep putting it in for a month..." Gargamel took out a vial of medicine from his arms, and put it Throw it to a subordinate dressed as a thief. Seeing the shivering and hesitant expression on the other party's face, Gargamel immediately comforted: "Don't worry, this is not poison. As long as it is mixed into the food, even those two wizards won't be able to detect anything."

As for other things, Gargamel didn't say much to these subordinates.

Emelia on the side raised her nose and sniffed lightly a few times, and quickly identified the function of the bottle of medicine based on the smell of the medicine floating in the air.

Fascinating Potion!

This is a witchcraft potion extracted from psychedelic grass. Taking it once or twice will not cause any harm to the human body. Instead, it will give people a sense of relaxation and indulgence that is spiritually empty. If the number of times taken is too high, it will easily lead to the dependence of the recipient's spirit and cause drug addiction.

Of course, this 'insignificant' side effect is useless to wizards at all, but it is terrifying to humans with weak mental power control!

If it weren't for today's matter, it would be impossible for a mortal to refine this kind of witchcraft potion as a Gargamel pharmacist. Only this kind of potion could escape the wizard's 'toxin detection' and successfully deliver it into the mouth of Baron Wilms.

After dealing with the matter of playing the new lord in a simple and clear manner, several subordinates reported the latest situation in the Black Forest area in the northern part of the Flaming Throne Wu Tower.

According to the feedback from the mercenaries and adventurers, a group of evil eyes appeared near the Misty Mountains. There were more than 200 of them in number. They occupied an underground cave there and frequently ran out to harass the place...

In Crystal Canyon, some crystal mines with good quality were also discovered. However, there is a group of harpies gathered there, the number is not large, only a hundred or so, but it is more than enough to clean up the general team of adventurers...

The group of Wyverns and Wyvern Kings who had been entrenched near the Flame Throne were forced to move to the depths of the Black Forest after knowing that they were powerless to fight against the wizards. After several years of searching and exploration, the new lair address of the Wyverns has also been found out by adventurers...

...

As the chief executive of the Crimson Family, Gargamel needs to arrange all the trivial matters one by one. But there is no way, the entire Crimson family is almost rich in battle wizards, all the family wizards are either hiding in their residences and laboratories, or running around to search for necessary knowledge and resources.

Seriously speaking, there are only a few wizards who can be as diligent as Gargamel and spend a lot of time on these mundane tasks.

It is precisely because they understand Gargamel's status that no one can replace him, so even those family wizards whose wizard rank is higher than Gargamel's, they must be polite when facing him, not daring to be slighted in the slightest.

And Greem knew the importance of Gargamel's existence, and even sent a group of 30 metal magic equipment to protect him. This made Gargamel go out to do errands, and a large group of metal magic weapons surrounded him, which was indescribably ostentatious.

As for Gargamel, he also knows his worth, so he works harder and harder to do things for the Crimson Clan!
