Wizarding World, Northland Icewind Lord.

White Tower.

After all these days of recuperation, the once desolate and cold Ice Wind Collar has now changed its appearance.

A small village and town appeared on the edge of a sparse forest area 300 steps away from the White Tower, and the houses were made of all logs, which looked bulky and sturdy. There are about thirty or forty houses, and there is a small circular square in the center of the town, surrounded by the few shops and special buildings.

Thanks to the blessing of the Wu Tower, the cold wind blowing from the east had become much warmer and warmer before entering the town. The temperature is usually minus 17 or 8 degrees Celsius, and the temperature at this time has been constant at about zero degrees.

Such temperatures can no longer interfere with normal outdoor activities of human beings!

It is difficult to carry out any farming and animal husbandry activities in this part of the Icewind Territory, so most of the people who live here are hunters. On a sunny day, they will go to the edge of the Black Forest in a group, where they will hunt some beasts or low-level monsters.

Now, with the appearance of the White Tower, the monsters near the Ice Wind Collar have retreated to the depths of the Black Forest, and these hunters have lost their hunting grounds and prey for their livelihood. However, as more and more Crimson wizards and apprentices traveled to the depths of the Black Forest, these hunters simply settled near the White Tower, waiting for their hiring and recruitment.

These accusers are undoubtedly the wealthiest of the group!

As long as these uncles are served well, a bag of gold coins that casually leaks is enough to make their family live happily and peacefully for a few months.

It's dusk again.

This is often the time for the return of apprentice teams that have ventured deep into the Black Forest.

If it is a little later, when night falls, most of the beasts and monsters begin to come out unscrupulously, then walking in the Black Forest will undoubtedly be an adventure. Therefore, before nightfall, all the teams that did not find a hidden camping spot had to return to the White Tower to rest.

And this time is undoubtedly the most lively and noisy time in the town!

Stepping into the night, the Shadow Light Squad and a group of 7 people struggled out of the Black Forest, talking and laughing all the way towards the town.

At the forefront of the group were the original five apprentices, followed by two hunters who had been hired temporarily, dragging a lion-like prey on a rudimentary raft.

It's only been half a year, and the Shadowlight Squad has changed dramatically.

As the captain of the team, Pontar is still a quasi-witch, and his strength has not changed significantly, but the wand in his hand has changed from a wisdom staff that can only slightly increase his spiritual power at the beginning to a shadow wand now. This magic wand, which can effectively reduce the difficulty of Pontal to cast shadow sorcery, costs him 200 magic crystals, which is almost more than 1/3 of his magic crystal income in the past six months.

However, with this magic wand, some shadow sorcery that was originally difficult to cast can also be cast smoothly. This is a wonderful thing for a would-be witch who lives on witchcraft.

As for the other team members, the refining apprentice Daxo is still advanced, the transformation apprentice Blanco is still intermediate, and the other two have undergone surprisingly drastic changes.

Eco, a beautiful apprentice of the plant department, is now a high-level apprentice, and seeing that she is full of witchcraft equipment, she is obviously very favored. And the little goblin Locke is the one who has changed the most, and is now a high-level goblin magician. Behind it, a squeaky and noisy puppet machine was followed at all times.

Don't look at this puppet magic machine, which is only more than 1 meter tall, and it looks thin and weak. But in the real battlefield, the effect it can exert is comparable to that of 3-5 intermediate apprentices.

First of all, it's a super 'monster sucker'!

The first target of any monster attracted by the squad is this noisy little guy who can't stop making screeching noises.

Secondly, this little guy's ability to escape and dodge attacks is really top-notch!

I don't know how little Locke researched and developed this puppet magic machine. Although its attack ability is weak, its ability to dodge attacks is amazingly strong.

When attacked by an enemy, it instantly transforms into a spider-like golem with eight metal knuckles, and then crawls through the jungle and shrubs. The monster lured by it didn't even want to touch its body except for chasing it with all its might.

In this way, the members of the Shadow Squad will be able to comfortably output to their heart's content, and take in the powerful beasts and monsters one after another.

Even if there is an occasional mistake and the little one is torn to pieces by an agile or flying monster, as long as little Locke, a goblin magician, is around, no matter how serious the damage is, it can be repaired.

It is precisely by relying on all kinds of strange combat magic weapons that the little goblin Locke can quickly grow into a high-level apprentice in just half a year. This also allowed Locke Jr. to successfully enter the main ranks of the Shadow Squad.

As soon as the Shadow Squad entered the town, they were surrounded by a group of people who had been waiting for a long time. Beckoned by hunters Hank and Thor, everyone worked together to help move the carcass of the fire lion on the simple raft into the town.

The Fire Lion is also a common low-level monster in the Black Forest region, and seriously speaking, it also has a strong strength of the first order. It's just that monsters are monsters, and although their strength is strong enough, their mental intelligence has obviously not kept up with the progress of their strength.

As a result, such a wizard-level fire-type monster was also killed by a group of wizard apprentices whose average level was no more than advanced.

The most precious thing on the fire lion's body is the fire crystal nucleus, and the warm and soft fiery red sideburns.

A wizard-level fire crystal nucleus is also worth more than 150 magic crystals in preliminary estimates. And the fire lion sideburns are one of the basic materials for making the fire cloak, and the initial value is also about 30 magic crystals. In addition to this, there are the fangs, bones, flesh and whips of the fire lion...... These are trophies that can be exchanged for magic crystals.

As for the fire lion meat, it is not a good ingredient due to its tough and sour nature.

However, it is precisely because it is cheap and easy to get started that it is also a stearful item that many body refining apprentices like to buy.

The adult fire lion hunted by the shadow team, if carefully decomposed, can probably harvest 200 catties of meat. And the senior body refining apprentice in the team, Daksuo, set 100 catties, and the cost of buying meat was deducted from his magic crystal income this time.

On top of the town, a highly professional slaughterhouse has been built.

A fire lion of more than 200 catties was sent in, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to be carefully and perfectly slaughtered and decomposed into various semi-finished products, and then returned to the shadow team in different categories. And the Shadow Squad only paid for 3 magic crystals, as well as some unnecessary bits and pieces.

When you arrive at the town, you actually reach the end.

All of the slaughtering, sorting, valuation, and listing for sale are done within the town.

The information counted here can be transmitted to the White Tower and the entire Crimson family simultaneously, and any wizard who is interested in these loot will directly take a picture of it. At that time, the transportation and preservation matters will also be handled by the town, and the shadow team will only need to sit and wait for the magic crystal to enter the bag.

This kind of work assignment undoubtedly greatly reduces the logistical and supply pressure on the apprentice team, allowing them to devote more time to sharpening and improving their combat strength. For most wizard apprentices, although the collection of witchcraft knowledge is very important, it is undoubtedly more important to transform each knowledge into corresponding combat power in time!

After handing over the prey, the two hired hunters returned home with two heavy bags of gold coins in their hands. The apprentices embraced each other to the town's only tavern.

Here, they meet another team of apprentices who are also toasting and celebrating, the Vampire Fangs.

As the name suggests, this is a battle team made up entirely of apprentice-level vampires. There were seven members of their team, all of whom were handsome men and women in luxurious robes, and there were also blood elves with sharp ears and fangs.

These guys don't have the diverse witchcraft of other apprentice squads, but they can freely enter and hunt in the Black Forest with only the agile bodies of the vampires and the transformation of bats at will. Especially with the Crimson War, Lord Mary has made great achievements within the family, and these low-level vampires have also risen with the tide.

At this moment, in the Crimson family, the vampire clan has become the largest force. Even Tigul, who has an entire secondary plane behind her, can't compare to her.

Vampires, Witches of Destiny, and Goblins of Magical Machines, these three forces occupy more than eighty percent of the resources and status of the Crimson family, and support the entire Crimson family with full momentum. Of course, this is just some crude opinion of people at the bottom.

Only those Crimson high-level leaders can know some deeper secrets, and in the Crimson family, the real number one force is not the vampire clan on the surface, but the inconspicuous third-order brain monster Gazruvi.

In the Crimson battle, the third-order brain monster Gazluvi only showed a little behind, and the wizard alliance of the five major families was defeated, and it was defeated. If the head of the family, Grim, was willing to transfer it from the Lance plane back to the wizarding world, the Crimson family could instantly leap from a small family to a large family, just one step away from those super families.

If there is any flaw in the current Crimson family, it is that there is still a lack of high-level wizards who can control the scene. At least, without a third-order wizard in charge, the Crimson family would not want to become a large family recognized by outsiders.

This is not something that can be filled by the number of Warcraft Warriors!
