Chapter 0800: Family Affairs

After leaving the family for more than half a year, this time back, all kinds of long-standing family affairs have come to Grim.

The affairs related to the Flame Throne Witch Tower alone took Grim five days to deal with before it was finally over.

A sudden war of the wizarding family almost tossed the Flame Throne into the dry sea, and almost lost the entire family. Although the victory was nominally won, the Crimson family was unable to convert the victory into corresponding benefits due to its lack of strength.

Thus, apart from the harvest of 24 wizard captives, the Crimson family received almost zero direct war gains. Even because the enemy once attacked the Witch Tower, the lower layer of the Witch Tower was extremely damaged, and if he wanted to completely repair it, Grim had to invest a large amount of magic crystals.

If this is a normal wizard family war, as the victor of the war, Grim can naturally scavenge enough magic crystals and resources from the defeated 5 wizard forces to make up for the loss of family strength. But now, the enemy has been repulsed, and the Crimson family is unable to send enough forces to occupy and plunder the opponent's direct territory or resource points.

As a result, a lot of oil and water flowed into the pockets of some 'outsiders'.

As the leader of the 5th Order Wizard Force, the Kamala family has suffered a lot of losses in the war. However, with the strength of their family still intact, they turned around and annexed the Demon Forest Hut, and also plundered several other families with heavy casualties.

In this way, the Kamala family's strength has risen instead of decreasing, but it has become more difficult to deal with than before.

In the past, due to the lack of Grim as the backbone, the Crimson family was more than self-retaining and lacked progress, and some great opportunities were discarded in vain. Now, as soon as Grim returned, the momentum of the entire Crimson family immediately soared.

After consulting with Gargamel, Grim declared war on the Kamala family in the name of the patriarch of the Crimson family. Send Billis, Mary, and others to carry out indiscriminate retaliatory attacks on all territories and resource points belonging to the Kamala family.

In the scattered Tallinn region of the central continent, large-scale wars are not allowed between wizard families without sufficient excuses. Now that the Kamala family had just attacked the Crimson family, it made sense for Grim to use this as an excuse to launch a retaliatory attack.

At least, although the old guys in the scattered Tallinn area did not like the Crimson family, they could not find anything wrong with it, so they could only sit silently and watch the smoke of the Kamala family's territory rise and the flames of war rumble again.

Of course, the Crimson family is not waging a regular war, but a retaliatory attack.

Therefore, the Crimson family barely dispatched any secular troops, but only symbolically sent six family wizards. However, it was these six wizards who made the Kamala family overwhelmed and exhausted.

The reason is very simple, because the six wizards sent by the Crimson family turned out to be all second-order wizards, and there were many powerful guys like Bilis, the worm witch.

Seriously comparing the strength of the two sides, the Kamala family can firmly control Billis and Mary, and only the third-order dead crow Yurga is the only one.

It's a pity that Bilis and Mary are uncertain, and instead of waging a head-on war with the Kamala family, they turn around and swallow each other's resource points and direct territories one after another. If the Kamala wizard dares to step out of the tower, he will be besieged by a group of Tier 2 Crimson wizards.

Therefore, in less than two months, the Kamala family, which had just become famous, lost 7 resource points, lost more than 3,000 territorial troops, and killed 5 family wizards.

For a time, the Kamala family was panicked, and nearly half of the secular territory was lost, and the prestige of the entire family was completely lost.

…………

However, while the family war was in full swing, Grim had already left the Flame Throne and entered the goblin plane.

At the upper level of the Witch Tower in the center of Machine City, Grim met with Princess Vanessa and dozens of goblin nobles from all over the plane. And accompanying Grimm is the goblin Grand Sage Kabi, who acts as an intermediary in the middle.

As for Kirby's true identity, other low-level goblins or goblin believers are not very clear, but they can't hide from these goblin nobles and chaebol leaders who have and wield great power.

The goblins in the past may have been subservient by the power of the wizards. However, after such a long period of contact and running-in, after knowing that they were powerless to resist the rule of the Crimson family, these goblin nobles and big chaebols also had the idea of cooperating with wizards to obtain greater dimensional benefits.

Kirby, who has been running around the goblin plane and the wizarding world all year round, obviously also understood their minds, and connected them in the center, which also contributed to today's audience ceremony.

With the help of today's ceremony, the goblins express their allegiance to the wizarding leader Grimm, and then win the trust of the other party, so as to achieve the intention of deep cooperation between the two parties.

From now on, the goblins of the goblin plane will be able to extend their tentacles and tentacles beyond the surface with the help of the operation system on the wizard's side.

In this way, the goblin clan was freed from their mere enslavement status and became a collaborator and strategic ally of the Crimson family.

Grim is not against this!

The Crimson family's trade network in the wizarding world is still too narrow, and one of the main reasons is the lack of a large number of loyal and reliable people. Now, several major chaebols and merchant groups in the goblin plane have gathered here, and they have expressed their willingness to help Kirby open up the trade nodes everywhere.

This is also a good and harmless thing for the Crimson family!

After agreeing to the goblins' request, Grim left Kirby there to bargain with the goblin nobles and chaebols, and he was led to a secret room by Princess Vanessa.

"Grim...... My lord, I would like to send a request to Your Excellency in my capacity as the Lord of the Machine City, asking for your approval for a space furnace place. The energy we have here is too scarce now, and it is no longer enough to support the continued expansion of the Machine City!"

Looking at Princess Vanessa, who was kneeling calmly in front of him, Grim did not rush to agree to the other party's request.

Back then, after looting the entire steel capital, the Quelas alloy obtained only gave Grim the materials needed to build 5 space furnaces. One copy was used to build the Metal Fortress's Magic Furnace, another was used to build the Tier 2 Goblin Ripper, and another was used to build the Floating Giant (which later crashed on the plane of Faun......

Previously, the Rank 3 Brain Monster Gazruvi had saved the Flame Throne at such a huge cost, and Grim had promised to add another Magic Forge to it.

In this case, Grim only has the materials for a space furnace left in his hands.

Therefore, in the face of Vanessa's request, Grim chose to refuse unsurprisingly.

The Space Furnace has such magical power that it can continuously provide magical energy to the user. Of course, such power can only be controlled by trusted subordinates, and Vanessa clearly does not fit that. If she is allowed to control this power, it is difficult to ensure that she will not drift away from the wizards, and thus give birth to dangerous thoughts that should not be there.

Looking at Vanessa, who had retreated, Grim did not have a trace of pity and regret in his heart.

He could sense that the hatred of the witcher in Princess Vanessa's heart was still not completely eliminated, and even the smell of it was intensifying. If the other party really doesn't know what to do and what to do, and would rather lose Tigul, a second-order subordinate, Grim must also eliminate such unstable factors.

After returning to the wizarding world from the goblin plane, Grim returned to the White Tower in the Northlands.

As a new place, it is obviously more lively and lively than the last time I visited.

The arrival of the 16 new wizards has undoubtedly filled many gaps within the family, giving each discipline and branch a promoter, and it is no longer a blank space before.

Grim spent ten days meeting with these new wizards one by one and contacting each other.

Although the other party chose to surrender because of the threat to his life, their arrival also really supported the skeleton of the Crimson family. Without their existence, the Crimson Family would always be an embarrassing situation where a few powerful wizards would dominate the world, and the remaining wizards would shout and cheer.

And with the increase of the number of wizards in the family, the resources within the family seem to be a little stretched.

At this time, even Grim couldn't help but think about how he could earn more magic crystals and more resources to feed such a large group of wizards.

Of course, finding some suitable places to build resource points is also something that most wizarding families do. In order to do so, first of all, the family needs to invest a large amount of money and resources in advance to make the resource point run smoothly.

The Crimson family, which had just experienced a tragic war, obviously couldn't come up with this money!

As a last resort, Grim had to refocus his gaze on the Reims plane.

The previous dragon hunts brought two or three million magic crystals to the family, which was always fresh in Grim's memory. So, now that the hand was tight, Grim's first idea was to hit the dragons.

After experiencing the hardships of the fire elemental plane, Grim felt that he had gained a lot. Especially after handing over the task items to the mysterious witch, the confinement bound to his soul origin was swept away, and Grim's strength increased by leaps and bounds.

It has only been less than twenty or thirty years since he was promoted to a second-order wizard, and Grim has already faintly seen the possibility of advancing to the third order.

It's just that his current accumulation is not thick enough, and the knowledge of witchcraft in reserve is also insufficient. Therefore, these days, Grim is more travelling all over the world, trying to handle the internal affairs of the family properly.

As for the future development direction, he still needs more time to think and precipitate.
