A small banquet was held in Grim's residence.

A long table full of fine food, a few twenty or thirty figures.

Although the number of people was small, the atmosphere was very warm.

Whether it was the wizards who stayed in the wizard tower or the family wizards who were stationed outside, they had already arrived, and each of them led a few apprentices behind them. Those who can be taken by official wizards are either quasi-witches who are ready to be carefully cultivated, or high-level apprentices with extraordinary talents.

The five apprentices under Grimm and Kirby, the goblin, were in charge of the reception.

Although they were very busy, Kodar and the others were full of excitement and enthusiastically served everyone present. Every once in a while, their eyes would involuntarily drift to the beautiful girl who was active in the midst of the wizards.

Yes, after being promoted to a witch, Alice still hasn't broken through the body seal of an eight-year-old girl, and her body appearance is still in her eight-year-old state. So, such a 'little' guy is in the middle of a group of official wizards in black or red robes, how can he look out of harmony!

However, no matter how many apprentices were present, no one dared to make fun of this.

Alice's status is completely different from theirs.

Once they become official wizards, even if they are just new wizards, they have already drawn an invisible but real class gap between them and their group of apprentices.

Despite rumors, Alice lost all witchcraft abilities after becoming a witch and became a pure soothsayer. But a wizard is a wizard! No matter how weak the other party is, it is only for the wizard group.

For this group of apprentices, the other party is still an insurmountable mountain above their heads!

Wizards have circles of wizards, and apprentices have circles of apprentices.

While the wizards gathered to chat, the apprentices gathered in groups to discuss interesting stories and rumors about the family territory and the surrounding area.

Some sociable apprentices take the opportunity to walk back and forth inside, trying to make friends with people with great potential.

Three days ago, Alice was a wizard's apprentice like them, but now she has become a big man they have to treat with respect. Such an inspirational story obviously inspired the enthusiasm and passion of every apprentice, and also made the atmosphere in the venue more and more hot.

"Alice, congratulations!" The first person to congratulate Alice in person was the refining wizard Kiel who was based in Ferdinand City, and he took out a small and delicate magic wand with a fist-sized turquoise inlaid on the top from his arms: "This is a ghost scepter, which seals a wizard-level evil spirit, and it is still very good to use it for self-defense." This is my congratulatory gift to you!"

"Thank you!" Alice accepted the gift with a sweet smile on her face.

Wizard Ferryel, who was standing on the side, glanced at Kiel, and said coquettishly, "I didn't think that Kir would be strange to please girls." In that case, I'm going to give you a gift as well. Here's Alice, it's a hydrating potion that will keep your skin hydrated and smooth for a long time. You've just finished your promotion, and it's the stage where your body needs to recuperate......"

"Thank you, Sister Ferrier!" the smile on Alice's face grew sweeter.

Seeing that the two companions had taken out their gifts, the remaining Kogan and Harrison couldn't help but smile bitterly at each other, and could only rummage through their storage space.

In the end, Kogan came up with a clear and pure white crystal, which was perfect for making a crystal ball for divination. Harrison gave Alice a sorcery flip ring, which can bounce a directional sorcery back to the caster, which is also a good talisman demonization item.

Alice is obviously also a little 'money fan', and suddenly gets so many treasures and strange things that she can't open her eyes when she laughs. Holding these things in both hands, one by one, silly music there.

"Let's find another place to celebrate! we're here, and these little ones can't let go......" Grim smiled indifferently and led several wizards into the secret room.

With the departure of these 'old guys', the atmosphere in the banquet hall instantly became hot. The apprentices, who were so overwhelmed by the wizard's aura that they didn't dare to be presumptuous, could finally celebrate unscrupulously.

Several apprentices and goblin Kirby, who belonged to the Grimm family, were surrounded by the crowd, and everyone asked about the 'Alice Wizard', and the envy in their words was overflowing.

Due to the needs of the plane battlefield, there are constantly family wizards who are being transferred to the different planes, so the number of resident wizards of the Sarubo family in the wizarding continent has been at a relatively low level. Each family wizard basically represents a great deal of power and profit.

These things may not be particularly cared about by wizards, but for the apprentices who stand behind them, they represent huge interests that are too great to give up.

If the Sarubo family is compared to a huge school of whales, then the many wizarding apprentices around it are small fish that live on the food scraps left by each other. If they are able to maintain a good relationship with any of them, the personal benefits they receive will be multiplied.

There are not many resident wizards in the Sarubo family, and now that the Fire Demon family accounts for two, then the quasi-wizards under the Fire Demon, such as Kodar and Meryl, will undoubtedly rise and be able to get more resources from the family.

Such a hidden benefit is enough to make any young would-be witch red-eyed!

Ignoring the ups and downs among his apprentices, Grim's group of wizards met briefly and talked a few words before leaving. Although they are all sorcerers of the Sarubo family, everyone has their own secrets, and the content of their personal research is not easily shared with others.

Therefore, the affection between wizards is also very weak, and it is more just a mutual use and investment!

Grim's power as a fire demon is well known.

Whether it's a plane battlefield or a family war, his weight has far surpassed that of a veteran wizard like Kogan. And Alice is a hot-spirited Northland witch who also carries the sacred aura of a candidate for the Witch of Destiny.

You must know that once Alice becomes a Witch of Destiny, even if she is only a Rank 1 witch, she immediately has the same power and benefits as those Rank 4 witch leaders. According to the ancient tradition and inheritance, the remaining witch factions must spit out the territory of the Destiny Witch faction and give the Destiny faction a chance to rise again!

It's a tradition, and it's a covenant!

When any witch faction rises again after its ups and downs, the other witch factions must provide the necessary protection and support. It is through this tradition of mutual help that the thirteen witch factions will continue to be passed down and always firmly control the northern territory of the wizarding continent.

So investing properly in a witch candidate is definitely something worth doing. However, if Alice wants to get the full support of the Sarupo family, I am afraid that more negotiations and more exchanges of interests will have to be conducted.

After all, the information that Sanazar tortured revealed that among the candidates for the selection of the Witch of Destiny this time were the elite descendants of other witch factions.

The reason why Angelina, the leader of the deceitful witches, sent someone to strangle Alice is because her own granddaughter has also accidentally become an awakened person of the bloodline of the Witch of Destiny. In order to ensure that her direct bloodline can successfully become a Witch of Destiny, she sent a large number of people to strangle those awakened who leaked their identities everywhere.

In the name of helping her blood relatives, Angelina was also able to avoid other witches' accusations that she was interfering in the selection of the Destiny faction. That's why her actions seem so unscrupulous, even to the point of unbearable.

With her mountain lying there, the rest of the wizarding families or organizations will become hesitant when it comes to choosing who to support.

After all, Angelina herself is a fourth-order witch, and she has hundreds of official witches under her, so no one dares to ignore such a heavy strength.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Grim had been deeply involved in the 'battle of fate', with the strength of the Sarupo family, they would not be willing to make any investment in Alice, the 'mortal man'.

This can be seen from today's celebratory banquet.

Several wizards sent blessings and gifts to Alice on their own behalf, but the third-order wizard of Sanaza, who represented the Sarubo family, did not show up at all. The service contract between the Sarubo family and Alice is only eight years, just before the 'battle of fate' begins.

This is enough to explain the attitude of the Sarubo family!

They are not optimistic about Alice's 'fate'.

Even to put it mildly, if it weren't for Grim's face, and Alice also successfully became a wizard, I'm afraid that the Sarupo family would even have the intention of handing over Alice's 'apprentice' in exchange for some benefits from the deceptive witch faction!

So when Alice sent off all the guests with a smile on her face, said goodbye to Grim, and returned to her residence alone, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn and distressed look.

Although she has a girl-like body and appearance, she has the keen heart of a sixteen-year-old girl.

The Sarupo family's statement was so obvious, how could she not understand it!

Do you not say goodbye now, find a place where no one is around, or do you want to take refuge under the wing of Grim and become a vassal of the other party......

This kind of problem makes her in a dilemma!

Although she has the status of a trainee witch of the Mayan family, Lovely Lisi knows it herself. This is not enough for the leader of the Pale Witches to stand up for himself and confront Angelina head-on.

Witches have always been united.

Sometimes in order to maintain this unity, it is inevitable to make some internal sacrifices.

One side is a direct descendant of the leader of the Witch of Fraud, and the other side is an ordinary member of the Pale Witch Clan. In this way, the two identities collide together, and if it is handed over to the Witches Council to adjudicate, the decision made will definitely not be beneficial to Alice.

So when it comes to returning to the Mayan family and staying with Grim, Alice has never been more determined. At the very least, Grim is genuinely defending her and fighting for her every chance of winning.

Alice still sees this very clearly!
