Chapter 1274: Their Troubles
Kesslingburg, the station of the Scattered Tallinn Association.
Inside a heavily guarded witchcraft chamber.
The two guys, who represented the highest authority in the association, sat opposite each other, their faces full of sadness and depression.
After a long time, President Fried finally spoke.
"How's it going, what's going on inside the association?"
Sitting on the sofa opposite, Vice President Mirwa had a gloomy face and a twinkling eye, obviously under the shroud of extreme emotions.
"It's pretty stable!" Mirva replied in a hoarse voice, "Most Guild wizards have signed a service contract, and it's impossible for them to do anything nonsense until the contract expires. Instead......"
"What is it?"
"On the contrary, more than half of the new apprentices who have just been sent from all over the country this year have not chosen to sign a contract with the association. They seem to be still waiting for the association to come up with more favorable conditions......"
"These weak-willed bastards...... If it weren't for the association, they would have been left to rot in the village, either as farmers or as lowly adventurers...... Immediately investigate the family they came from and put pressure on their family...... Hmph, I don't believe that they are half-hearted, and their family dares to be half-hearted......"
Mirwa nodded silently, gently rubbing the snake-eye ring on the tail finger of his right hand, and quickly conveyed a new order.
After doing all this, Mirwa couldn't help but say in amazement: "It seems that Grim is planning to fight us, how should we deal with him?"
Hearing his companion's inquiry, the cunning President Fried couldn't help but sigh.
"This Grim, although he is young, is very sophisticated and calm in his actions! In order to avoid confrontation with us head-on, he did not directly expand the family territory. In this way, we can't find an excuse to call on the elders of the association to punish him. ”
"He's still young, at best in his 300s, and he has a lot of time to spend with us. From the current measures of the Crimson family, it can be seen that he no longer plans to start a wizard war and expand the direct territory of the family. Instead, they are targeting the next two, three, or even four or five generations......"
"yes, he's so patient. It's an obvious attempt to kill us!"
"In the past two or three hundred years, except for that Grim, there has been no new fourth-order wizard born in the middle of the continent for a long time. You and I have been advanced for more than 800 years, and it will be difficult for us to hold on for another 200 years even if we find more life resources. The other guild elders are similar to us, even the youngest Clara is five hundred years old...... Therefore, the other party avoided the frontal battlefield and chose the new generation, I am afraid that they are waiting for the death of our group of 'old guys'!"
"Hmph, after the old batch of fourth-order wizards have exhausted their lives one after another, the new generation of fourth-order wizards will inevitably live in his terrifying huge shadow...... At that time, even if he didn't start a wizard war, who in the entire central part would dare to disobey his will!"
The two high-level officials of the Scattered Tallinn Association complained and complained, but they couldn't come up with any way to solve that Grim.
In terms of strength, that legendary fire witch is probably already the strongest wizard in the middle of the continent.
Some time ago, this guy also went to the Wizards Association in the eastern part of the continent and had a good 'exchange' with the wizards there. According to what Fried heard back from his inquiry, the Wizarding Guild has a very high opinion of him, and even ranks him as the closest flame wizard to a super powerhouse.
Super Strong...... What is that? That's a powerful existence that is at the peak of the 4th order and is most likely to advance to the 5th order!
And how many years has this legendary fire witch been promoted to the 4th rank, and he has actually been able to get such a huge evaluation from the Wizards Association.
Of course, Fried and the others would never doubt the judgment of the Wizarding Association, but would only secretly fear that the legendary fire witch's strength had grown too terrifyingly.
If this trend continues, sooner or later, the entire central part of the continent and the entire scattered Tallinn will become the possession of this legendary fire witch. And Fried, who has worked hard for so long but has found nothing, is naturally unwilling, and does not want everything he has done to become someone else's wedding dress.
But flipping through the list of mentors at the Horton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a long list of illustrious and dazzling names will come into view. Tier 4 ...... Tier 4 ...... Tier 4 ...... So many Tier 4s, from Dragon Lord to Flame Lord to Undead Lich ......
To be honest, Fried's heart trembled when he saw this list.
In the past, he may still have a ruthless spirit, wanting to use the hundreds of years of life of the Scattered Tallinn Association to scare away that Grim's ambitions. But now looking at the number of strong people who have been wooed by others, and then looking around at the three walnuts and jujubes around him, the fighting spirit gathered in his heart has already plummeted.
For no reason, Fried felt inexplicably sad and depressed, and his whole tense spirit suddenly relaxed, and he slowly collapsed into the soft sofa, and a tear silently flowed from the corner of his wrinkled eyes.
"We can't fight him......" Mirwa sighed in a string, "If all of us old fellows die, the whole part of the city will fall into his hands." Therefore, in the next one or two hundred years, I want to carefully cultivate a few good seedlings in the family. Whether our heritage can continue in the future may depend on them......"
Fried was silent and did not answer.
In other words, as an ancient family that has been inherited for thousands of years in the middle of the continent, almost every fourth-order wizard has thousands, if not tens of thousands, of ethnic groups and bloodline descendants behind them. The 4th-order wizard is the sky, and the 4th-order wizard is the god, as long as they exist for a day, no one dares to infringe on the survival rights and interests of these clansmen and descendants.
But once they are exhausted and their souls are destroyed, the fate of these descendants and clansmen who have been blessed by them in the past will be worried.
Who doesn't have an enemy or an enemy or something, once the umbrella is gone, those guys who have been suppressed by them for hundreds of years in the past will take advantage of the situation to fight back, at least the family will be decayed, and the entire clan will be uprooted and strangled cleanly.
There are countless such things in the wizarding world!
Therefore, most Tier 4 wizards will try their best to leave some life-saving means for the family after they have no hope of advancing to the 5th Order, or try their best to cultivate a new powerhouse to continue the family's inheritance.
However, such things are easier said than done, but it is difficult to do.
First of all, the descendants of wizards who are not of direct blood in the family are absolutely unwilling to cultivate the strongest.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts!
These wizards who came halfway, no matter how talented they were, they were unwilling to cultivate a fourth-order wizard. After all, after these guys advance to the 4th rank, they will definitely set up another family, and they will never treat the clansmen of the old club as their own relatives.
Therefore, the only one who can really continue the family inheritance is the bloodline descendants of the 4th-order wizard himself.
But in this way, the choice is undoubtedly much smaller.
Among the bloodline descendants of Rank 4 wizards, there are definitely very few who can have the potential to reach Rank 4, and the resources consumed to successfully cultivate them all the way are even more astronomical.
In the case that the fourth-order wizards themselves have no way out, they will definitely give priority to ensuring their own resource supply, and will only take some resources and knowledge that they can't use to take care of the younger generations of the family.
In such a situation, the chances of wizarding geniuses appearing in the direct bloodline of the juniors are undoubtedly even more slim!
Therefore, there are too few examples of high-level wizards who can continue to emerge within the family and continue the family inheritance. Most wizarding families have ups and downs, smiling and smiling when they are in the limelight, and struggling to survive when they are down.
Even many wizarding families died halfway through, and not even a single bloodline descendant could survive.
Like President Fried, he belongs to more than 3,000 members of the Sidmund family, and more than 400 of his direct bloodlines. Among them, there are 127 people with wizarding talents, and only 2 can advance to the higher level and become a third-order wizard.
Even if these only two third-order descendants, they don't have much cultivation value. Because they themselves lack talent potential, they have barely climbed to the current level by relying on the accumulation of a large number of resources.
However, among Fried's direct descendants, there is a granddaughter who has good talent potential, and she is already a second-order advanced at the age of just over two hundred. However, if you want to exalt her to the 4th level in one or two hundred years, the difficulty of this is also amazingly high.
Therefore, at the thought of the decline of the family after his death, Fried's heart couldn't stop twitching.
He knew very well that if he offended that Grim now, the other party might be helpless. But once he dies of age, the people and descendants he left behind will definitely suffer the bloody and terrible devastation of the other party.
The wizarding world is so cruel and real!
When he was there, everyone would look at him in the face and treat the Sidmund family as an ancient and noble wizarding family. But once he's gone...... At that time, there was no fourth-order wizard in the family to support him, so naturally he could only let people eat him, and the end was extremely miserable.
Fried looked up at Mirva, his eyes filled with hesitation and pain.
He knew that the other party's family was much the same as his own, and it was difficult to choose a junior who could stand up to the scene among the direct blood relatives. A few years ago, Mirwa's grandson was so angry that he gave birth to a little guy with a good talent.
However, it is only at the 1st intermediate level now, and it is a hundred times more difficult to cultivate it than his granddaughter.
Therefore, the two of them don't talk about Ah Er, they both have the same headache and the same difficulty.
"There's no way we're going to fight that Grim anymore. But both Clara and Everred are still young, with three or four hundred years to live. They won't be willing to be suppressed by the Crimson family!, perhaps, we should woo them over!" Mirva said, curling his beard.
"Everred...... That guy's Molten City is now in an alliance with the Crimson Family, and he's made a lot of money by selling rare ores underground, so don't expect him to come out and stir things up. "At the mention of the Molten City Lord, President Freed sulked.
But then he hesitated again: "That Clara can fight for it again." Her family territory is adjacent to the Crimson family, and she must be under more pressure than we are. If some friction breaks out between them, maybe we can suppress that Grim's arrogance......"
Mirwa's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but sneered: "This is not a simple answer, I will arrange it immediately, and ensure that the two of them will fight soon! Hehe, with Clara in the lead, we will bring in Matthew, Nicholas and Gaia, at least we can suppress the development momentum of the Crimson family and buy us more time to deal with it......"
With that, Wizard Mirwa immediately left the chamber in high spirits.
