After drawing up the initial roster, Grim returned to the metal fortress again.

The newly captured Ice Dragon has been sent to the Flame Throne, waiting for the right opportunity to trade it out through a special channel. After the last family preparation banquet, the name of the Crimson family has been initially established, and it has left an extremely deep impression on many wizard families.

Now, Goblin Kirby is using his private circle to slowly build his brand with the Throne of Fire's ability to regularly deliver high-quality dragons as a gimmick. This also made many wizards who had failed last time very excited, and they went back and forth to the Flame Throne every day, constantly asking for specific information and time about the next batch of dragons.

There are even some wealthy wizard families who even provide Kirby with all the information they need about the dragon's attributes and gender, and say that as long as the Crimson family can provide dragons that meet their needs, they are willing to bear whatever the price.

Kirby, on the other hand, was even more shrewd, placing a piece of dragon scales pryed from the ice dragon Irontini directly in the goblin shop opened in the hall on the first floor of the Throne of Flames. In this way, as long as the wizards come to the goblin shop to test this translucent milky white dragon scale, they can roughly deduce the blood concentration and talent attributes of this ice dragon.

All of a sudden, the news that there was a new dragon on the Flame Throne spread.

Many high-ranking wizards sent their own representatives to the Flame Throne to meet with Gargamel and Kirby to negotiate the acquisition of the ice dragon. In a short period of time, the Crimson family stationed on the Flame Throne even directly overshadowed the names of the five major families, becoming the hottest emerging family in the Tallinn region of the central continent.

However, behind this heat, all the wizards belonging to the Crimson family have disappeared one after another, and a new round of retreat has begun.

Three months later, we are about to embark on a new plane journey, and there is too much preparation to be done before that.

First of all, the latest batch of small magic furnaces must be completed as soon as possible.

Not only did Tigul's goblin ripper need it as his power source, but some large engineering mechs also needed the support of the Magic Furnace. So before entering that plane of Faun, Grim must prioritize the safety of the family wizard.

Secondly, after advancing to the 2nd rank, Grim was busy with plane conquest all day long, and the refining and research of the old elemental golem was virtually relaxed.

Now, on the verge of entering a mature and complete mid-plane ruled by the gods, high-quality elemental golems have become an indispensable auxiliary force. Therefore, taking advantage of this last free time, Grim also needs to transform all the high-level elemental crystal nuclei accumulated some time ago into necessary and appropriate elemental golems.

This is also the fastest way to improve individual strength!

Thirdly, in addition to these conventional methods, Grim also concocted plague poison spirits and sewing ghost puppets one after another, giving himself two more means to fight the enemy.

However, these two alchemy creations have their own independent soul consciousness, and in order for them to exert their maximum combat power, they need to be recuperated for a long time. So at present, it can only be used as a key force for Grim, and it cannot be used as the main combat force.

In addition, three of the gifted predatory insects that have been cultivated in the secret chamber of the Flame Throne have also entered the maturity stage, and they will soon be able to carry out the second stage of bloodline experiments.

The thought of being able to completely usurp the bloodline talent of a powerful race made Grim's heart uncontrollably excited.

So far, after entering the second level, it has become extremely difficult for Grim to rely on daily meditation to improve his mental power. After all, the original owner of his body was nothing more than an ordinary human wizard apprentice with limited talent potential.

Although Grim relied on his perseverance and the assistance of chips, he quickly climbed to the current 2nd level. But at this stage, the speed of his mental power improvement slowed down sharply, and even faintly showed signs of stagnation. Without the assistance of special means, Tier 2 is almost the limit of what his body can reach.

If you want to take another half step forward, you have to do something with your soul origin or bloodline source.

And this kind of soul experiment and bloodline research are extremely dangerous, and the slightest deviation is the end of a catastrophe. So many second-order wizards make themselves not like people and ghosts, just because there are some things wrong in the process of transforming themselves.

And once such a fork involves the origin of the soul or the source of the bloodline, even if you want to repair it, it will be useless. The more he changed, the more his soul and bloodline deviated from normal humans, until he transformed himself into a strange monster that no one could recognize.

One of the main reasons why the second-order dragons provided by the Crimson family are so popular is that the dragon clan has a strong physique and bloodline strength that is recognized by the world. If the secrets of the dragon bloodline can be studied, for any high-level wizard, it is equivalent to opening a new bloodline development route.

Not to mention the bloodline inheritance of the dragon clan, the long life and powerful elemental talent brought by the dragon bloodline alone are good things that human wizards cannot envy. If you can make yourself a dragon vein wizard, then you are also a top powerful wizard of the same level.

And the longer you live, the more time you have left for yourself to move up the ranks. Coupled with the powerful elemental power brought by the bloodline talent, it was simply easy to sweep through the wizards of the same level.

Bloodline wizards value their bloodline power, elemental wizards value their elemental power, and body refining wizards value their physical power.

Therefore, the living dragon has become the most sought-after bloodline creature in the wizarding world!

Although the Titans, Phoenix, Hydra, and Beamon Behemoths are all bloodline creatures that are far more powerful than dragons, they are scarce and difficult to find, and it is even more difficult to capture them. So it's understandable that dragons are so sought after by high-ranking wizards.

Wizarding World.

Northland Witch Territory, Verning.

As the seat of the Northland Witches' Council, Verning is also a neutral territory that stands alone from the major factions. Especially over the years, those witch factions have opened the shared secondary plane teleportation entrance in Werning, and the place has become more and more lively.

Today, the date was pinched, and it was the time when the Pale Witch faction opened its plane, so there was a large group of people crowding the road to Vilning early in the morning.

The ordinary caravans saw the arrival of the witches' faction and took refuge on both sides of the road early. Coachmen, handymen, guards and other small people fell on the ground one after another, hanging their heads and not daring to raise their eyes to peek at each other. Only the caravan master with the title could stand there, silently bowing and waiting for the opposing team to pass.

And under their respectful gaze, a succession of unusually tightly wrapped black carriages rattled past their eyes. The four horses pulling the cart snorted one by one, struggling to bury their heads forward, looking extremely struggling and heavy.

Sir Ed Kingville, as the head of the Edie Chamber of Commerce, has been traveling this trade route for many years, and is no stranger to such scenes. But the youngest son Finney, who followed him out for the first time, had no such insight, and while hiding behind his father and secretly surveying the ranks of legendary witches, he gently tugged at his father's robe sleeve.

"Father, which faction is this witch team?"

Despite Finney's small voice, Ed was still startled and hurriedly turned around and whispered.

"Silence! Keep your head down, keep your eyes on the ground beneath your feet, and don't look directly at the convoy ......"

At this moment, a group of black-armored guards guarding the witch's convoy passed in front of the father and son, wearing armor and stomachs, and did not squint.

Ed hurriedly covered his youngest son's mouth with his hand, turned around and bowed vigorously to the black-armored guard.

But the black-armored guards turned a blind eye to the Sir Eddard in front of him, and escorted the black carriages forward quickly.

But at this moment, there was a carriage that rolled into the middle of the road in front of Ed and his son, and the tightly wrapped curtain was raised high, revealing a terrifying monster stuffed inside.

Outwardly, they resemble a group of skinned humans who have been soaked in a stinking ditch for days and nights, and their entire bodies are as white as those of a drowned dead. And their body surface is sticky and slippery, emitting a pungent stench.

They have no eyelids, and what emerges from their deeply sunken eye sockets are milky white cloudy eye bubbles, and there is no black in sight.

They appeared to be a bunch of dead creatures, densely packed in small carriages, motionless. But when Finney's gaze fell on them, they immediately sensed a trace of human life, and their sticky and slippery bodies shook and began to writhe slightly, and frantically sniffed the breath in the air, becoming restless.

And the agitation in this carriage apparently caused a chain reaction.

Soon, even several carriages around them began to shake violently. Occasionally, you can even hear the roar of some terrifying monsters.

"What's going on...... Who alarmed these ghouls?"

At some point, two young witches sat on their broomsticks and hovered silently over the black carriage.

With their melodious and eerie singing, the restless carriages regained their calm, and the 'monsters' inside fell silent again.

It's the Witch of Death!

The well-informed Sir Ed immediately identified the two witches by their robes and insignia, and sat down on the damp dirt with his legs limp. And little Finney, who had made eye contact with the ghouls, had already fainted.

"Hmph, useless guy...... If you alarm the big guys in the other carriages, you'll have to devour them all...... You, go and tell the front to evacuate all the convoys to a distance of thirty meters on both sides of the road......" The witch in charge of guarding the convoy cursed angrily, whistled lightly, and flew into the sky again with a strangely shaped broomstick.

The black-armored guard, who had been pointed at by the witch, immediately bowed down, patted his horse, and rushed to the front of the group.
