Chapter 0267: Mota City

Four days later.

Grim and his party arrived at Mota City without any problems.

As the only public city within a radius of 500 miles, Mota City does not belong to any wizarding family or organization, but is a public area designated by the Wizarding Guild of Tallinn.

Before entering the city, Grim had already seen the public wizard's tower towering into the sky.

A faint glow shone on the gray walls of the tower, and rings of sorcery glow lit up somewhere in the tower from time to time, and then quickly passed towards the spire above the clouds. Despite the white clouds, Grim could still see some black dots coiling and falling in the towering spire.

The endless convoy gathered near the city gate, and was orderly verified and released under the command of a group of black-armored guards. There were men and women, old and young in the crowd, and the noise was boiling in the sky.

Next to the rows of loaded wagons, the black four-wheeled carriage in which Grim rode stood out as an inconspicuous figure. However, when the black-armored guards guarding the city gate saw it, they hurriedly ran to clear the crowd blocking the way under the command of a leader, and let the black carriage slowly drive into the city gate.

There is no reason, no reason, the Sarubo family coat of arms inlaid on the side of the black carriage is the best pass.

In the vast land of the Wizard Continent, no one has ever dared to pretend to be a noble wizard. Because once such a bad act is detected, death is already the lowest punishment that the impostor can conceive!

It's a magnificent and beautiful wizarding city!

Crowds of people crowded the streets here, and horse-drawn wagons drove slowly on the bluestone pavement, piled up with a variety of goods, but most of them were luxury ornaments such as tobacco, alcohol, oil and tea.

Grim lifted the curtains lightly and watched people of different colors and costumes quickly swipe in front of the window, and there was a vague strange feeling in his heart.

People living in the Wizarding Continent have become accustomed to using their own way to distinguish which characters can be provoked and which ones cannot be provoked. Although the carriage in which Grim rode was unremarkable, the eye-catching wizarding family crest in the corner of the carriage made everyone look different.

The crowd flashed to the side as far away from the carriage, and no one dared to stop the rapid movement of the black carriage.

"You and Kirby go settle down and book a seat on the floater, and I'll pay a visit to the Wizard's Tower!" After a brief explanation, Grim lightly jumped out of the carriage, pulled up his black hood to cover his face, and slowly disappeared into the crowd.

The first thing you do when you go to a region is to visit the local wizarding organization, which is actually the tradition and habit of most wizards! After all, wizarding organizations in each region will selectively open some witchcraft facilities to the public, including public libraries.

And habitually collecting knowledge is also one of the most common things that wizards do!

Because she was fascinated by someone last time and couldn't watch the wizarding battle with her own eyes, Alice has been haunted by it for the past few days. Looking at Grim who disappeared into the crowd, she puffed up her cheeks and said, "Go to the floating boat first!"

The goblin Kirby's disguised coachman shouted loudly and drove the carriage forward with a whip.

As one of the few public areas in the Tallinn region, it does not refuse any wizards to visit. Even some wizards who have lost in family struggles or power struggles can recuperate here and gain access to some wizarding resources that are not so rare.

Some wizards who are interested in starting a new family do not have their own territory when they are starting out, and they usually use the public wizard tower as the first stepping stone for the family to develop. Establish some open wizarding academies here, and take in wizarding apprentices who have no backstage or background.

Using this method, it may not take a hundred years for a small force with a few wizards and dozens of wizard apprentices to be established. Then the next thing they need to do is to try to survive in the cracks of many wizarding families and organizational forces, and expand their territory little by little.

Any mature piece of land in the scattered Tallinn region has basically been occupied by large and small families and forces. If you want to snatch a piece of bread crumbs from their mouths, you can only rely on war and strength!

If they succeed, they will become one of the nearly 1,000 wizarding families in the Scattered Tallinn region. If they fail, they will have to retreat to the public area and continue to run their own small organization or force, accumulating strength for the next assault on the wizarding family!

In the previous family wars, the reason why a small organization like the Mafia Society was so enthusiastic was not to be able to obtain a piece of their own territory, and then raise a banner and form their own wizard family!

Unfortunately, the strongest of the Tier 1 wizards in the organization was killed, and the two-faced wizards they had spent a lot of money on failed as well. This also indicates that the efforts of the Mafia Association in the past 100 years have been in vain. That second-order green dwarf Pyro wanted to form the Pyro family, but it could only be delayed for a hundred years!

Tier 2 Wizard!

He is already a very important person in the wizarding community!

If such a guy is willing to join any wizard family, he will become the backbone of the other party's welcome with both hands, and all kinds of rare resources are at his fingertips.

But even if such a powerful wizard wants to establish his own family, it is difficult to resist the attack of any existing small wizard family.

With the benefits he made from the knightly plane, Grim was enough to buy a hundred and ten square kilometers of viscountdom in the scattered Tallinn region. But so what? He was surrounded by wizarding families and hungry wizarding organizations, and even if he bought such a territory, what would he rely on to defend it?

Perhaps the first to send troops to attack his territory was the wizard family who sold him his territory!

Resources and territories are indeed very important in the Wizarding Continent, but the strength to protect resources and territories is even more important than the first two!

Grim mingled through the crowd and slowly walked towards the Wizard's Tower.

There are fewer and fewer ordinary people on the streets, and more and more apprentices in all sorts of college costumes.

Among these apprentices, there are no few middle-aged men in their thirties and forties, and there are also old men with old faces and slender bodies, but most of them are young men and women in their twenties. And their strength is also dominated by junior and intermediate apprentices, and there are few senior apprentices, and as for quasi-witches, none of them have been seen.

This situation is actually quite normal!

After all, in the place where the public academy is rooted, they recruit qualified and talented apprentices, which are originally much weaker than wizarding families with fixed territories and resource points. The lack of resources and the low qualifications of apprentices will form this phenomenon of low overall strength of apprentices.

Besides, if every wizard academy cultivates quasi-witches, they are all held in the palm of their hands like treasures, how can they be willing to let them out and run around.

Grim was dressed in a black robe, and although he did not wear any emblem on his chest, the haughty and mysterious that was unique to wizards still made every apprentice who saw him hurriedly flash to the side and bow down.

The apprentices who can mess around in Mota City are not rookies, and they may not be able to do other things, but the skills of people are absolutely first-class.

Grim was low-key enough, but as he stepped forward, the corners of the wizard's robe were revealed under the shadow of the black robe, which were covered with mysterious and mysterious magical lines and runes. A delicate silver chain bound the voodoo scroll around Grim's waist, and as he walked, the book of witchcraft shimmered with golden runes, making it nothing ordinary at first glance.

Two long strands of dark red hair hung down from the sides of the hood, like two slightly jumping flames in the sunlight. And under the shadow of the deep hood, the cold face with well-defined lines and the eyes as bright as the morning star can leave an extremely deep impression.

…………

Grim strode through the gates of the Wizard's Tower.

More than a dozen wizard apprentices waiting by the side of the gate saw Grim's eyes, and their eyes immediately lit up. But before they could make a move, a round-faced apprentice with short tan hair was already standing in front of Grim and bowing.

"Dear Wizard, Apprentice Thor is willing to serve you!"

The rest of the apprentices looked annoyed. However, they didn't dare to make a mistake in front of a wizard, so they could only glare at the Thor fiercely and quickly disperse.

Grim didn't mind the little tricks of the apprentices, and he looked around.

Clean marble floors, fresh air filled with the smell of witchcraft, small stone chambers lined against the walls of the towers, and corridors and corridors in all directions......

It's crowded but quiet.

All the apprentices walked in groups, carrying stacks of thick parchment books in their arms. Even if they needed to talk, most of them kept their voices down, and they didn't dare to make a noise in the arcane hall.

The first impression that catches the eye is somewhat similar to the atmosphere of a university campus on Earth in the previous life.

"Take me to the public library here, I'd like to flip through some materials!" Grim commanded.

"Yes, the library for visiting wizards is on the 5th floor, please come with me!" Apprentice Thor was obviously familiar with such a request, and politely saluted, leading Grim towards the floating saucer in the corner of the arcane hall.

The so-called floating disc is somewhat similar to the earth's lifting platform, except that it does not use mechanical force or electricity. A five-meter-square circular floating saucer could hold twenty or thirty people standing on it, but as far as Grim could see, none of the wizarding apprentices dared to set foot on it.

This seems to be the exclusive privilege of wizards!

Controlling the control center on the floating disk, the round and delicately patterned finger-thick stone slab began to slowly float towards the upper level of the wizard's tower. Along the way, you can see wizard apprentices walking around with books.

The Wizard's Tower has five floors.

Before sending Grim to a misty gate of light, the apprentice Thor stopped.

"My lord, this is the wizard-level library open to the public. Only wizards are allowed here, so ......"

"Hmm!" Grim nodded understandingly, and casually threw the three magic crystals into his arms.

"My lord, you don't need so much!" a look of surprise appeared on Thor's face: "All you need is 1 magic crystal!"

"I still have two minions. There may be a witch named Alice coming to me in a moment, and you remember to bring her here!"

"See, my lord! Thor will get the job done. Thor assured in no uncertain terms.

Grim smiled indifferently and strode into the gate of light.
