Age of Adepts

Alice's return to normal is as much as she was plotted against, almost completely unknown from beginning to end.

At least, except for a few caring people, not many people know the whole story.

After being closed for half a month, the Destiny Tower has returned to people's sight again.

Unknowingly, the combination of the legendary fire witch Greem, the blood queen Mary, and the leader of the fate witch, Alice, formed a small circle that frightened the world.

Tier 4...Three Tier 4...

If it is placed in the three major wizarding organization forces, it is really nothing. But it's a bit shocking to be placed in an unknown wizard family.

At least after hearing the news of Mary's promotion, the entire Sandalin had a strange situation of hot outside and cold inside. The wizarding families at the small and medium levels were extremely excited, thinking that this was a sign that the wizarding community in the central part of the mainland was about to prosper, and it was also a sign that a powerful wizard was about to appear.

And the emergence of this powerful wizard will also reverse the situation that the central part of the mainland lacks a necessary core and is always a mess!

But in contrast to the eager expectations of middle and low-level wizards is the reaction of those high-level wizards.

Since ancient times, the scattered Tallinn area in the central part of the mainland has been a loose alliance dominated by wizard families, each ruling and managing their own territory. With this model, they have resisted the invasion and infiltration of the forces of the three wizarding organizations, and have successfully continued this tradition for thousands of years.

Now, a Crimson family suddenly appeared from the Sandi Tower Forest Association, and there were actually two fourth-level wizards in it. Moreover, what made the rest of the fourth-level wizards feel extremely headache was that these two fourth-level wizards were actually a couple.

This... is a bit beyond the tolerance of the Sandi Tower Forest Association!

It's not that the Sandi Tower Forest Association cannot have a core, but it's better not to appear when you are still alive...

After all, the emergence of the core means the inclination of resources, territory, and power.

In this process, the existing power structure of Sandi Tower Forest will definitely undergo a earth-shaking change.

If all these things gather towards the so-called core, there may also be a huge force similar to the three major wizarding organizations in Sandi Tower Forest.

And this is something that all high-ranking wizards don't want to see!

First of all, the three existing wizarding organizations in the wizarding world: the Silver Alliance, the Northland Witches, and the Wizarding Association will not allow it.

The three major wizarding organizations are not really unable to eat the Sandi Tallinn area, but are worried that the invasion process will trigger fierce resistance from the local wizarding families, resulting in damage to their own strength. In this way, I lost a few teeth, but it may be cheaper for the other two competitors who are also eyeing.

It was precisely because of this worry that the three wizarding organizations secretly reached an agreement that they were not allowed to touch or invade the central region, and they used the Sand Tower Forest area as their buffer zone.

However, if they don't invade, they will never allow another powerful wizard organization that can be compared with them to appear in Sandalyn. Therefore, once the core appears, it will inevitably face all kinds of blows from them, either openly or secretly!

Secondly, not to mention external forces, even the inside of Sandi Tallinn may not be willing to see the emergence of something like a 'core'.

Without the core, the 4th-level wizards are still the kings and overlords of their area, and they monopolize all the resources in it. But once the core appears, the resources, territory and power in their hands will inevitably be invaded by the outside world.

Rather than being a member of a huge wizarding organization and taking orders from that powerful wizard, how could it be as comfortable and free as being the king of your own territory and saying that you are the same.

Therefore, for the core, Tier 4 wizards like Sandi Towers are probably the most repulsive and least hopeful group!

Secondly, there is more than one Tier 4 wizard with a core dream.

As a veteran Tier 4 wizard, Fried, the president of the Sandalin Association, spent nearly a thousand years of hard work to create the current situation. Doesn't he want to build the Sandi Tower Forest Association into a powerful force similar to the three wizarding organizations?

It's not that I don't want to, but it's really hard to do...

In the central part of the mainland, there are thirteen local fourth-level wizards, all of whom have been tempered and nurtured by hundreds of years of time. Although they are strong and weak, it is almost impossible for those strong to completely suppress any one of them.

This also means that once any two fourth-tier wizards start a battle, it will be difficult to achieve a quick victory. The most likely situation is that both sides will lose, and the two wizard families will decline at the same time!

It is this balance of power that allows the central part of the mainland to maintain a certain degree of delicate balance.

Although Fried spent a lot of effort to build the Sandi Tallinn Association, he even attracted the vice president of Milva. But in essence, Milwa was only slightly closer to him.

Once Freed wants to start a rumbling high-level war, he will try to unify and integrate the entire Sandalinn area. At that time, Milva will not support him, or to what extent he will support him... This is an unpredictable thing!

It is precisely because this matter is very difficult, and the road to success is full of thorns, that Freed can only maintain a Sandi Tallinn Association that is cooperative and united on the surface. But behind the scenes, the 4th-level wizards are still looking after each other, and it is difficult to integrate and deploy high-level resources and overall strength.

However, in such a situation, Greem was born out of nowhere, and the Crimson Family rose strongly, but brought this ancient and terrible question back to everyone.

Whether Greem can become the so-called core, and whether he has the intention to become such a core... These questions need to be answered!

Therefore, while the Crimson Family was thriving, various conspiracies and calculations followed one after another, which became a terrible problem that plagued Greem.

…………

In the middle of the continent, in the Kadatheron region.

Blood Castle.

The ancient castle is located deep in a not-so-high mountain range, and there is only a winding forest path leading to the small town of Hongfeng outside the mountain.

The town has a population of nearly 1,000, and its infrastructure is basically complete.

For a long time, the Vic family, a rather ancient vampire family, has occupied and ruled this territory.

The Blood Castle is their dwelling place, and the nearby Red Maple Town is their blood food that they worked so hard to raise and cultivate. It's just to maintain their ostensible rule and not scare the people away because of rumors of blood-sucking. Therefore, the Vic family is also very restrained in hunting blood food!

Unfortunately, in a wizarding family war, the Vic family completely failed.

Not only did their blood lord lose their lives, but even the foundation of the entire Vic family was cut off by the enemy. In addition, all the hereditary territories belonging to the Vic family also fell into the hands of outsiders.

Naturally, only other vampire families could occupy the territory of the Vic family so quickly.

And this Blood Castle also changed hands three times before it fell into the hands of the powerful Heinesen family. However, with the sudden appearance of Mary, all the vampire families either moved outside the central part of the continent, or they could only obediently submit to Mary.

Therefore, after going around for a long time, the Blood Castle, which once represented the pride of the Vic family, was also dedicated to Mary by the Henessen family, and became the most important stronghold of the Crimson family's vampire branch in the central mainland.

The eerie blood castle is composed of five castle fortresses with different styles, and has the dual functions of aristocratic castle and military fortress. Among them, the four small fortresses scattered around did not consider comfort and leisure at all, but focused on defense unilaterally.

Therefore, these fortresses were built extremely solidly, and the entrances, exits, doors and windows were strangely narrow. Most of the passages can only barely allow a fully armed guard to pass through, and those places located in the core area of ​​offense and defense are densely covered with various dark bunkers, secret passages and hidden shooting holes.

The entire periphery of the Blood Castle has greatly improved the physical defense here at the expense of all comfort and entertainment. To put it bluntly, only two or three hundred elite soldiers are needed, and the Blood Castle is enough to withstand the siege of thousands of enemies with these fortresses.

The main body of the castle guarded by the four fortresses is magnificent and magnificent.

The morbid temperament of the vampire family, which pursues perfection, elegance and nobility, is undoubtedly evident in this building. If it weren't for the fact that this place is far away from the human world, if it wasn't for the eerie and eerie atmosphere here, perhaps many visitors would regard this place as a castle only for the leisure and entertainment of the nobles.

In the main hall on the second floor of the castle, guests are gathering at this moment, and it is extremely lively.

And those who can shuttle here are naturally vampires wearing exquisite noble costumes.

Most of the male vampires are dressed in a straight tuxedo, a red bow tie, a gentleman's hat on their heads, a civilized staff in their hands, and delicate mustaches under their noses. The female vampires are all dressed in gorgeous one-piece dresses, sun hats of different colors, soft and thin silk gloves on their wrists, and exquisite high-heeled shoes on their feet.

They are all well-dressed and courteous, fully expressing the gentle temperament and arrogant demeanor of human nobles.

It's a pity that in such an occasion, they are all just little minions and running dogs who obey people's orders. The bosses who really decided the future of vampires gathered in the secret room on the third floor, arguing fiercely about something.

"With the strength of our vampire family, it is absolutely possible to form a new wizard family. Lady Mary, you see, should we simply leave the Crimson family and use the Blood Castle as our origin..."

A vampire whose strength was no more than level 2 was making an impassioned speech, but before he could finish his words, he was streaked by a bloody light, and his whole body exploded into a puddle of purple-black blood in an instant.
