Grim soon re-met President Fried in Kethlingburg.

He was joined by three other Rank 4 wizards, including Elder Nicholas, whom he had met before. The remaining two, one is a passable-looking middle-aged witch named Clara, who is the current patriarch of the Denel family where Brokenface Garo belongs. The other was an old pedantic-looking wizard with an old face, named Mirwa, who was the vice president of the association.

In the presence of three Rank 4 wizards, the Fried President whispered a mysterious and strange sorcery spell. As the incantation sounded, black smoke escaped from the surrounding walls, floors, and ceilings, gathering in front of Grim to form a mysterious pact with gold letters on a black background.

The material of the contract is composed of mysterious black smoke, but the dazzling gold floating on it is blurred, and only when Grim slowly extends his spiritual power into it, a contract text with terrifying binding force inexplicably appears in his mind.

"Drop, an Ancient Pact fragment detected...... Once the subject leaves the soul imprint on the contract, it is bound by the contract with the other souls. This contract does not have a soul holder, it is a mutual aid soul contract, and the subject will not be harmed by the soul as long as it does not violate the agreement of all soul imprinters. ”

"Upon examination, three oral agreements were found on the fragment of the ancient contract, which read as follows:"

"1. This contract is a common agreement of all fourth-order wizards in the Tallinn region of the central continent, and all participants in the contract shall not attack each other, shall not infringe on each other's interests, and the soul of the violator shall be downgraded. ”

"2. Those who join the contract must safeguard the interests of the wizards in the Scattered Tallinn area as a whole, and obey the assignment of the Scattered Tallinn Association to resist the infiltration or invasion of foreign forces without threatening their own safety and vital interests!"

"3. First-time members are required to carry out a task assigned by all the participants in the contract. Refusal of this assignment will be considered as a refusal to serve the Scattered Tallinn Association and will be expelled from all contract participants!"

Grim narrowed his eyes slightly, silently thinking about the text of the contract in front of him, and vaguely understood something in his heart.

Seriously speaking, this contract is actually to bring together all the high-level wizards in the middle of the continent (mainly referring to the 4th order) to jointly resist the invasion and infiltration of the forces of the three major wizarding organizations. Essentially, it's a good thing for the whole of Tallinn!

At least, with this contract, it is impossible for the various wizard wars in the middle of the continent to be extended to the level of the 4th order. Without the participation of Tier 4 wizards, the strength of the wizard war will become controllable, and it will not cause all kinds of terrible deaths or infinite wars in the middle of the continent.

Of course, the higher-ups of the association are not stupid enough to ban all levels of warfare.

After all, a certain level of wizard warfare can better cultivate and screen out more powerful wizards, and it is also part of the internal survival of the fittest competition mechanism.

Therefore, what the association forbids is actually only the conflict between fourth-order wizards.

As for the 4th rank and below, as long as this kind of competition does not damage the operation of the entire wizard system, the association will not only not stop the wars of the wizarding families that are petty but will be happy to see them succeed. Because only in this way can those newly rising powerful wizards be able to suck the nourishment from the losers and step by step to the top.

In this respect, Grim and the Crimson family he formed are actually the beneficiaries of this easing policy.

After reading through the entire text of the contract, Grim understood it very clearly.

The entire association is still very loose on the constraints of Rank 4 wizards.

After all, all the fourth-order wizards in the middle of the continent joined forces to form such an association, the purpose was just to keep warm and resist the invasion and infiltration of the forces of the three surrounding wizard organizations, not to tie themselves up.

Therefore, in addition to the mandatory task when he first joined, once he became a fourth-order elder in the association, Grim naturally had a great say in the development of the entire scattered Tallinn region. However, the association's restraint on him is very few.

All Tier 4 Council Elders have the authority to submit Council issues.

When encountering a major event or issue, the president often convenes a meeting to discuss and vote on the disputed content. The association currently has a total of fourteen Rank 4 wizards, of which except for the president Wizard Fried, who has two votes, the rest of the Rank 4 wizards each have one vote.

It takes only one vote to put forward a proposal, but it takes more than half of the votes to reject it.

Therefore, within the association, as long as more than half of the elders of the association do not attract opposition, the will of any fourth-order elder can be implemented unhindered.

This...... Perhaps this is one of the main reasons why all the 4th Orders in the middle of the continent are willing to join the Scattered Tallinn Association!

"I'm still a third-order ......," Grim asked, looking up at President Fried, who was staring at him, a little confused.

The contract in front of him is obviously for a 4th-order wizard, and he is only a 3rd order now, and the association is so urgent that he sign this contract now, it is obvious that there is something big wrong inside.

"You'll be a 4th Order soon!" President Fried looked at him with a smile, "I have faith in you!"

Grim was still hesitating.

The black-mouthed and black-faced Elder Nicholas next to him said coldly, "What? You want to refuse this contract? I can warn you, think carefully about the consequences of refusing this contract!"

President Fried smiled and waved at Elder Nicholas.

"Don't scare him...... Your Excellency Grim will definitely make a wise and correct choice!"

When he said the word 'wise,' President Fried added a noticeable accent.

But Grim looked at his kind smile like a smiling tiger, and wanted to smash a fireball in his face.

One with a red face and one with a black face!

Just as Grim was still hesitating, a familiar female voice of a thin mosquito and fly sounded clearly in his head.

"Sign it, I'll explain it to you later......"

It was Alice's voice.

The moment Alice's voice rang out, President Fried, who was standing across from Grim, seemed to be aware of this, and looked up sharply to the north.

Grim no longer hesitated, stretched out his right index finger, condensed a small cluster of bright yellow flames, and gently pressed on the mysterious contract. The moment the flames touched the contract, the name of Grim, written in the lingua franca of wizards, appeared strangely on it, and then the entire contract exploded again into an infinite black mist that melted into the surrounding air.

Grim could sense that the mysterious contract had not dissipated, but had been stored in the core of Kthlinburg's activated consciousness.

Seeing that Grim had signed the contract, the faces of several Rank 4 wizards in front of him instantly became vivid. Clara Witch and Elder Nicholas, who were witnesses, nodded and smiled at Grim, then said congratulations and dissipated silently.

Soon only Grimm, Fried, and Mirva were left in the chamber.

Although Grim is not yet a 4th order, looking at the smiling faces of the two wizards, it seems that he has completely treated him as a fellow rank.

"Here you go...... This is the reward you deserve!"

President Fried tossed over a magic ring with the logo of the Scattered Tallinn Society set with small small fire diamonds on the ring.

"This is your Elder's Ring, and with it you will have free access to Kthlinburg, as well as limited access to wizard forces within the Guild. There's also a small storage space inside the ring, and you're promised to have 500 Sith essentia inside......"

Even with Grim's calmness, he couldn't help but tremble a little the moment he caught the ring.

After all, the power and will represented by this ring are heavy in the middle of the entire continent, and the weight is definitely above most wizarding families. To put it mildly, bring this ring, when Grim is determined to destroy a wizarding family, and he doesn't even need to do it himself, there will be a lot of wizarding forces willing to do it for him.

After all, there were thousands of wizard families in the middle of the continent, but there were only fourteen fourth-order wizards.

Who is heavier and which is lighter on both sides, you don't even need to ask!

"Don't be too happy, your elder power will be frozen for the time being until you become a Rank 4 wizard. It's only when you truly become a Rank 4 wizard that all of this is officially yours!, but I'm sure it won't be long before that day ......" President Fried had a strange smile on his face.

"Also, if I were you, I would teleport directly back to the Crimson family and not take a single step before advancing to the 4th rank. You have to know how much of a temptation these essentia can be for a Rank 3 wizard. And the ultimate temptation will make countless people take risks......"

…………

Throne of Fire.

As the misty teleportation light slowly dissipated, Gargamel, who had changed his form, stood at the door of the teleportation room with a respectful expression, bowing and saluting.

"Welcome back!"

News from afar had already reached the Crimson family.

At this moment, the entire Crimson family was already completely boiling, and people were full of excited and celebrating, so as the Crimson Grand Butler, Gargamel's tone was also filled with endless joy and irrepressible excitement.

"Alright, alright...... Stop playing with these vain things, the head of the family you were waiting for didn't come back, it was a few of us who came back!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Gargamel looked up sharply and was embarrassed to find that only Mary, Winriel, and Emmelia were standing in the teleportation array, and Grim could not be seen at all.

"Ma ...... Mistress Mary...... What about the head of the house?"

"Hmph, I don't care where he goes! If you like to wait, just wait here!" Mary was so angry at the mention of this that she went straight away.

"Gargamel-sama, just wait here!" Winrill was clearly in a good mood and left with a coquettish smile.

Seeing that his father was making a fuss, Emelia, who fell at the end, pulled the sleeves of her witch robe and leaned over and whispered: "The head of the family has gone to the Tower of Destiny!"

"Oh?...... Oh!"

Gargamel took a long time before it dawned on him.
