Night soon fell.

Inside the small, makeshift campsite, a campfire was lit, and a rich smell of broth slowly spread over the stone fields.

Perhaps because of the earth elemental core in the afternoon, Wizard Raghu's mood was obviously exceptionally good, and even a rare smile appeared on his thin and scorched face.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to serve him broth and fluffy bread, Jack, who had a fierce face, also asked for ideas with a smile on his face.

“…… My lord, our little Tom has been smart since he was a child, and he can learn everything as soon as he learns, but unfortunately he has never found a mentor who is willing to teach him...... So...... So ......"

"Every child under the age of ten will have someone to test their talent potential, don't your kid have wizarding talent?"

"Yes...... Absolutely...... But...... According to the wizard who measured his talent, our little Tom is a recessive talent, and he needs to use the Awakening Elixir to activate his talent before he is ten years old, otherwise he will disappear forever. ”

"Hidden Talent ......," Wizard Raghu couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

In the Wizarding Continent, every ten years, special wizards will travel to and fro to test and search for those young children with wizarding talents, and then gather and send them to the Wizard Tower. However, the situation in Scattered Tallinn is more special, each family has its own fixed territory and people, and under normal circumstances, other wizard families will not be allowed to recruit wizard apprentices in their own territory.

As a result, wizarding families or organizations that do not have a private domain lose the opportunity to obtain new blood. In the long run, it is a strange thing that the inheritance will continue to be extinct!

And when the family envoy travels from place to place in the territory, looking for an apprentice with wizarding talents, he will inevitably encounter this special individual with hidden talents. Their wizarding talent is closed from the moment they are born, and if they can't activate the hidden talent through a special way before the age of ten, this talent will be bridled by its own bloodline, and the possibility of activating it will be completely lost.

For these hidden talents, most of the wizard families with insufficient strength will choose to abandon them, and will not pour any resources into them. As for the reason, it's very simple, the awakening potion that activates the hidden talent is worth 120 magic crystals, and the apprentice after activating the talent is not necessarily much stronger than the normal apprentice.

If you can't successfully advance to the wizard level, this deal will lose a lot.

Not many wizarding families are willing to spend 120 magic crystals on an apprentice with unknown talent...... This is the most fundamental reason why they were abandoned!

And without the wizard family's resource tilt, ordinary mortal families can't afford the huge price of 120 magic crystals.

You must know that the magic crystal is the hard currency of the wizarding world, and it has almost completely been monopolized by the wizarding group. If an ordinary aristocratic family does not have a wizard path, even if they have more gold coins in their hands, they will not be able to buy the corresponding magic crystals.

And all wizard resources are traded in magic crystals, and gold is never accepted.

"Have you saved enough crystals to buy an Awakening Potion? If that's enough, I can help you buy an Awakening Potion!"

"It'll be enough next year. I've heard that Dagon is recruiting an adventure party to explore the Black Forest, with 10 magic crystals per mission. I'd like to go over there and give it a try......"

Listening to Jack's words, a faint smile appeared on Wizard Raghu's face.

"For your dedication to serving these days, I will remind you of this. Don't go to Dagon under any circumstances, and don't leave Elovis, no matter how generous they are paid. Maybe one day in the future, you'll find that the only safe place in the world is Elovis......"

After a few simple mentions, Wizard Raghu was silent.

After all, the affairs of the demon tide are confined to the small circle of wizards, and all wizards who know the inside story have signed a confidentiality agreement with the family, and will never leak the true information to the mortal world. Therefore, this simple mention is already the greatest salvation that Wizard Raghu can do.

If this Jack is determined to leave Elovis and go to Dagon, he and his family may be involved in the event of a demon tide.

In Elovis, it's the home of the Crimson family and the home of Houghton's School of Witchcraft. The powerful family strength allows them to protect this place without leaking a drop of rain, no matter how fierce the demon tide is, Elovis will be the safest and calmest area in the middle of the entire continent.

Not one of them.

…………

Throne of Fire.

Grim sat calmly on the flaming stone chair, listening to Meryl and Amelia's debriefing in the magic water mirror in front of him.

“…… After years of hard work, the White Tower has expanded 300 miles of activity space in the Black Forest...... There is a Duffland city in front of it, and the monsters in the Black Forest can't rush out at all......"

"Duffland City currently has a permanent population of 20,000, nearly a hundred mercenary teams of all sizes, and a wizard team of twelve people stationed there all year round...... In the near future, I am going to build another medium-sized witch tower in Duffland City to ensure that the family effort of the past two hundred years will not be overwhelmed by the demon tide......"

"At present, I have enough basic manpower on my side, but there is still a gap in the high-level wizard area...... Especially in the future, the Witch Tower on the Duffland side needs a high-level wizard to sit in charge, and this will need a lot of support from the teacher......"

After listening to Meryl's report in one breath, Grim's expression was indifferent, his fingers tapped the porcelain cup in his hand, and watched the slight ripples rise and disappear slowly, and the curling heat wafted in the room with a refreshing fragrance.

"I know you want to transfer Bilis, but the situation in the middle doesn't allow it, and he has to stay in the center. Grim raised his hand to stop Meryl's argument and said in a deep voice, "You need manpower over there too, and I'll transfer Iretina and her Green Dragon team over." That way, you don't have to worry about running out of manpower!"

"Yes!" Meryl's face immediately bloomed with joy when she heard that it was the emerald beauty dragon Eritina and the Green Dragon Squad. Over the years, she and Iretina have become quite close partners.

Besides, there is dragon blood flowing in the body, and the closeness from the depths of the soul cannot be replaced by others!

Meryl finished speaking, and it was naturally the turn of Emelia who controlled Elovis and Crimson Wings.

"Lord of the Family, after all these years of exploration, the Black Forest east of the Flame Throne has fallen into the actual control of the family. Medusa Dana gathered a team there that was not weak, and helped the family stabilize the order of the surrounding territory. ”

"It's just that there is still a lack of a stable support there, and there are currently three selected for exploration, Eagle Head Mountain, Broken Wood Valley and Spider Forest. I'm going to build a small city in the Valley of Broken Wood as well, as a necessary base for advancement. When the Demon Tide breaks out, send two floating giant ships and the Demon Dragon One to sit there, and it will not be difficult to deal with the herd......"

"As for the spatial rifts that may appear within the territory, I have mobilized all the Crimson wizards and apprentices to trample the entire Elovis region, marking and sealing every spatial singularity and rift. ”

"For those who are not in great danger, mainly seals, and those who are at risk of being transformed into spatial rifts, according to the degree of danger, rush to repair the War Witch Tower...... I think that with such a move, when the Demon Tide breaks out, the damage of the impact on the Crimson Territory can be minimized......"

Grim listened quietly, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with the arrangement, he turned his gaze to Kirby in the corner of the screen.

Seeing that it was finally his turn to speak, Kirby immediately reported with a dance.

"My lord, the new magic puppet dragon dragon dragon No. 2 will soon be ready for battle. You see......"

Hearing the news, a smile finally appeared on Grim's face.

"What about the floating giants? Now the family only has ten floating giant ships, which is no longer enough. I'm hoping to get twenty of them together before the tide arrives, no problem, right?"

"Twenty ships?" Kirby, who was still frowning one moment, was stuck the next moment, swallowing his saliva and said, "Your Excellency, you must know that after all these years of drilling and mining, the mineral reserves of the Goblin Plane are about to be exhausted. Even if I mobilized all the goblin engineers to work around the clock, I wouldn't be able to do it without a sufficient amount of magic iron alloys!"

"You don't have to worry about the magic iron alloy...... Grim cut off directly: "I found you an iron mountain from outside the territory, and the only thing you need to do now is to send a goblin engineer to set up a smelter there and refine all the metal ores for me......"

As soon as "Extraterritorial ......" heard this terrible name, Kirby felt a little nervous. It's a forbidden area for dimensional life, and even traveling outside the domain as a Tier 2 is a very dangerous thing, let alone a goblin engineer who doesn't have much protection.

"Don't worry, I've already arranged it over there. The goblins sent over will be protected by the alien brain Gazruvi, so that they can concentrate on their work!" Speaking of this, Grim changed the topic: "Besides, I don't plan to transfer all the ten newly built floating giant ships, leaving half of them to defend the goblin plane!"

"The goblin plane was originally a low demon plane, even if the door of the plane is open, there are not many guys who are willing to go there, five floating giant ships, three thousand new combat magic weapons, plus that Demon Dragon No. 2...... This kind of power should be more than enough to protect the entire goblin plane!"

"Yes, yes...... On behalf of all the goblins, I thank you for your concern!" Inside the magic water mirror, Kirby and several goblin leaders behind him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on their faces.

"However, I still need to recruit the Goblin Warlock Regiment to stand by as a mobile force in Elovis, after all, the middle of the continent is too big, and any mistake could cause a catastrophe. Therefore, a sufficiently powerful and mobile rapid reaction force is still very necessary!"

Kirby and the goblin leaders hurried to chatter, not daring to make any comments.

The Demon Tide is about to erupt, and if the Goblin Plane takes advantage of the Demon Tide to make any small moves, the Crimson Family will be in a dilemma. Therefore, no matter how much Grim trusts Kabi, Gongga and others, there are still necessary checks and balances.

This 3,000-strong group of goblin trap warlocks is the essence of the goblin plane that has been gathered over the years, including almost all goblins with combat talents.

If there is anyone among the goblin leaders who wants to break away from the control of the Crimson family, they can't help but consider the 3,000 goblins who are held in the hands of Grim as 'hostages'.

The Goblin Plane can't afford such a huge loss!
