"Any questions?"

Seeing that the other party's faces became so weird one by one, even Grim was a little confused.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing ......" The wizard hurriedly disguised his gaffe with an embarrassed smile and changed the subject: "We are the fifty-third team of Camp Essolda, and we are responsible for patrolling this area. I wonder what you're doing?"

Grim smiled indifferently.

"Open up the station!"

"Garrison?"

"My family also wants to participate in some of the extraterritorial trade, so I need to open a suitable family residence here. Is there any special rule in the camp that doesn't allow this?"

The wizard's face stiffened, and he hesitated, "Not really! However, most wizard families will try their best to keep their family residence inside Essoda's camp when they first enter the territory. Like you, who have found another place outside the camp...... I'm afraid it's not too safe, right?"

While talking, the third-order witch behind the male witch suddenly exclaimed in surprise and reminded in a low voice, "My lord, look ......"

The wizard was slightly stunned, leaned down to look down, and realized that the steel city had undergone some strange changes in a short period of time.

On the periphery of the Iron City, metal war fortresses have risen, and the outer sides of the fortress are lined with cannon muzzles, and the dark blue metal cannon body glistens in the dim skylight. Groups of tall metal magic machines stepped out of the metal hall with neat steps, and began to enter the outer war fortress one after another.

With its fixed magic cannon and mobile metal weapons, the entire steel capital is like a heavily armed hedgehog, displaying a terrifying defensive power.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the wizard couldn't help but nod secretly.

"It seems that Your Excellency has chosen to build a family residence here, and you are indeed very sure. According to the rules of Camp Essoda, any wizarding family that settles in the camp must apply directly to Lord Kaelf, and the approval of the Lord can only be implemented. However, considering that Your Excellency has placed your family residence outside the camp, it is no longer subject to the camp rules. I'll report it for you when I get back!"

How the other party cooperated, Grim was naturally happy.

The two sides floated in the air and talked a few more words, then waved goodbye and went their separate ways.

The patrol returned to the camp and reported the situation here, which naturally caused quite a stir. However, Grim completely ignored these things, and stayed in the steel city to constantly improve the defenses here.

At this moment, although Grim has made rapid progress, there are not a few enemies he has offended, whether overtly or covertly.

If those guys knew that Grim had set up roots outside the territory, they would have rushed here to make trouble. Therefore, Grim did not think about victory before defeat, and asked the first priority of this steel fortress built by the different brains to be extremely strong.

He had a feeling that it would be wishful thinking for the Crimson family to open the door and do business without fighting the enemy in a few fights outside the territory.

And he, right here, is waiting for those enemies who 'throw themselves into the net'!

…………

Werning.

The seat of the Northland Witches' Council.

In the side hall of the council, eight witch leaders sat on either side of the long table, and the dark witch leader Sersi was impassionedly making a declaration of war.

“…… Shani's death is a conspiracy of the wizards, and we must act now to put pressure on Scattered Tallinn to hand over the culprit, Grim......"

The Dark Witch is a family of Xia Ni's death, and everyone has heard about it for a long time.

However, when everyone heard that Sersi had reconnected Shanny's death with the legendary fire witch Grim, all those in the know couldn't help but turn their eyes to Alice, who was sitting upright with a smile.

Sercy, the leader of the Dark Witches, also leaned down, pressing the long table with both hands, shocking the other party with a domineering aura that was above him, and stared at him fiercely.

"Alice, that Grim has a lot to do with you, and you still have to protect him at this time and go against all the witches?"

Alice smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Sister Sercy's words are serious! If he is at fault, why should I shield him!"

"That's good. I propose ......" Sercy snorted, thinking Alice had finally backed down.

"Sister Sercy, don't be in a hurry to make a statement, I still have a few questions I want to ask my sister. Alice directly interrupted Sercy's speech, causing the latter's face to instantly turn ugly.

"What's the problem?

"We are all saddened by the death of Shani. However, since my sister wants to avenge Shani, she will wage war against the outside world and tie all the witch factions to your chariot. Then please show me your so-called evidence!"

"Shani died on that Morian plane, what evidence do you want me to come out?" Cersei couldn't help but be furious, her hands pressing the long table trembled slightly, and a black mist rose from her body, almost flooding half of the room.

"There's no evidence...... My sister couldn't come up with any evidence, so she wanted to gather the power of the entire Northland witch to attack that Grim and Scattered Tallinn. Don't you think it's too tyrannical?" the more angry the other party became, the more calm Alice became, and her bright eyes stared at him without giving an inch.

Seeing that the sparks in the words of the two witch leaders became more and more intense, the leader of the Death Witches, who had always been old and serious, couldn't help but interject: "Sesi, don't you have any evidence in your hand? If that Grim is just alone, he will be killed, and our Northland witches have never been afraid of anyone coming." But now, he is one of the elders of Scattered Tallinn, if you can't produce any evidence, how can you put pressure on us old fellows?"

The wind ran out of sails, and Alice took the opportunity to nail a few more words.

"Sister Sercy, don't forget, at the last meeting of witches, you promised me that you would never attack that Grim again. So what's going on with Shani's death this time? Why are you so sure that Shani was killed by Grim? Could it be ...... What did you do behind your back?"

Sercy's entire body began to tremble.

It's not that it's fearful, it's that it's furious to a certain extreme.

The reason why Shani would participate in the Arcane Empire mission was arranged by herself. This is equivalent to her personally sending a clan helper who is good friends with her to death.

Besides, Xia Ni's death is a small matter, but the loss of the Shadow Orb is a big thing!

But these inside stories are about the face of the Dark Witch clan and the many behind-the-scenes deals, so how can she cry in front of the other leaders?

"Alice, don't you forget, you're also a Northland witch! aren't you afraid that others will talk about you when you open and close your mouth to speak for a wizard?"

"If he was just an outsider, I wouldn't favor him. Sister Sessi, what you want to deal with now is Alice's husband!" Speaking of this, Alice's face was also flushed, and she looked shy.

Alice was delighted, but the rest of the witch leaders were shocked at the same time.

"Alice, there are some things you can't talk about. What husband is not husband's...... What nonsense are you talking about?" Ksuna, the leader of the Death Witches, glared, and a tyrannical aura of death instantly filled the entire council hall.

"Sister Ksuna, I'm not talking nonsense. I've decided that I'm going to marry that Grim, and I'm going to have a formal ceremony in the near future. I hope to get your blessing then!" Alice said with a solemn expression.

Dead...... Silent......

The entire council hall fell silent for an instant, and all the witches couldn't help frowning deeply, and their faces became unhappy.

"Alice, think about it again! According to the tradition of our Northland witches, there has never been a precedent for high-ranking witches, especially witch leaders, to marry those male witches!" Ksuna, the leader of the Death Witches, warned in a fierce voice.

"Sister, do you mean to say that the Council of Witches will never allow such a thing to happen?"

"It's not so absolute, and the Witches' Council doesn't have clear rules to bind it. However, in general, in order to maintain the independence and purity of the Northland witches, it is also a tacit rule that no marriage is made by men from other organizations. ”

"The independence of the Northland Witches?" Aliceson sneered, "The various factions of the Northland Witches do not attack each other, and do not harm each other's interests...... This should be regarded as the default rule in everyone's hearts!"

"Yes!"

"Then I would like to ask, how many of the thirteen witch factions that have been passed down from antiquity are still left, and where are their territories of those witch factions that have broken off their inheritance?"

Hearing Alice's hoarse questioning, the witch leaders present couldn't help but be silent.

"Since I, Alice, became the leader of the Witch of Destiny, how many of you here have adhered to the principle of factional independence and have not interfered in the inheritance of the Witch of Destiny?

Sersi snorted.

"Endor is a witch of our dark witch line, how I deal with her naturally has my own reason, I don't need your little girl to teach me how to do things!"

Ksuna, the leader of the Witches of Death, looked darker and colder, her eyes moving between Sersi and Alice, and there was a deep dissatisfaction in her heart.

But as an outsider, it is difficult for her to govern the two witch leaders in front of her, who are becoming more and more conflicted.

Alice is only at the 3rd order, and she is the weakest among them.

But no matter how weak she is, she is also a witch leader, and has the power to sit on an equal footing with them in the witches' council! No one can deprive her of the power of her leader, let alone kill or coerce her by force, otherwise, the unity and harmony that the Northland witches have always shown to the outside world will become a joke.

The entire witch faction will immediately fall into a kind of situation where they take sides and form their own gangs!

And that's the last thing Ksuna wants to see......
