It took almost half an hour for the news of the return of the Fire Demon to spread throughout Federnand City.

And half a day later, half of the scattered Tallinn area also received the news.

With Grim's identity and strength, it would have been impossible to get such attention. But Alice, who met him, unexpectedly became one of the leaders of the Northland witches, and this is where everyone really paid attention.

You must know that most of the clan leaders of the Northland Witches are Rank 4 witches, and it seems that only the leader of the Winter Witches is a Rank 3 witch.

And the fact that the Sarubo family can become an ally with such a powerful witch will undoubtedly have great benefits for the expansion of the family's power. Therefore, Grim's return is regarded by many as the messenger sent back by the Witch of Fate.

Once these two major forces, the south and the north, are united, I'm afraid that those Sarubo family's overt and dark enemies will have a headache!

Originally, such things were extremely secretive, and less than half a month after the battle of fate, it was impossible for the witches in the Northland to spread so quickly with the closure of the scattered Tallinn region. However, under the spread of the Sarubo family, this news spread rapidly in the middle of the continent at a plague-like speed, and even the development of the Sarubo family was infinitely optimistic.

The Sarubo family is now only a medium-sized family, and has always fantasized about entering the ranks of large families.

And in order to become a large family, two prerequisites are essential.

The first condition is that there is a Tier 4 wizard in the family.

The old patriarch of the Sarubo family, although Lord Sarubo has the strength of the 6th order, the cultivation of the family wizard has been delayed, and no new 4th order wizard has been born for a long time.

This makes them have great strength in the extraterritorial space, but it is difficult for them to occupy a clear advantage in the origin of the wizarding world.

The current Sarubo family, from the Sarubo Grand Wizard to the Greater, is only the most powerful two third-order wizards: Sanaza and another Purple-Eyed Lord. And it is impossible for them to advance to the rank within one or two hundred years, so if they can attract a fourth-order powerhouse outside the family, it will still be of great benefit to improve the family's ranking.

As for the second condition, of course, is the overall strength of the family.

This also includes the overall strength of the family wizard and the amount of resources occupied by the family, which complement each other and can best measure the development potential of a wizard family.

In this regard, the Sarubo family has been established for too short a short time, and its strength ranking has always been relatively backward.

That's why they value the help of the outside world so much.

As soon as Grim returned, he was dragged into the secret room by Master Sanaza to discuss.

Hearing that Alice had successfully become a Witch of Destiny, Lord Sanaza was undoubtedly excited. However, after listening to Grim's brief introduction, she calmed down again.

"You said that Alice completed her promotion as a Rank 1 Witch of Destiny?" Sanaza couldn't help but ask again, and the tone of her words was especially accentuated by the 'Rank 1'.

Seeing Grim's silent nod, Sanaza, who had always been strong, also fell into a long thought.

"Tier 1 is Tier 1!" Sanaza sighed, "Anyway, you still brought a reliable ally to the clan and expanded the clan's influence in the Northlands. Being able to connect with a leader-level witch, no matter what, can also have a certain say in the witches' council. This is done, and the family will never treat you badly!"

"Willing to work for the family!" At this time, the basic drama meat Grim also needs to cooperate.

"Hmm......" Sanaza nodded, "In order to celebrate the alliance between the family and the Witches of Destiny, a celebratory banquet will be held in the tower tonight, and at that time, several surrounding families and organizations will send people to participate. As for Alice's current first-order affairs, it still needs to be kept secret from the outside world for the time being. Everything will be done when my representative meets Alice in person......"

Grimnono nodded, and then took his leave.

As soon as he returned to his residence, many apprentices and disciples belonging to his department were already waiting at the door, and they congratulated their teachers after meeting. And Meryl didn't have the slightest wizarding posture, and even took her apprentices to blend in the crowd and bow down to congratulate Grim.

As for the goblin Kirby, he also rushed over early, and he looked very eye-catching in the crowd.

Grim smiled and nodded in greeting, then stretched out his hand and invited Meryl into the abode with him.

Since Alice has always been a powerful witch in the minds of many apprentices and disciples, at everyone's request, Grim briefly described the beginning and end of this trip to the Northland.

When describing it to Lord Sanaza, of course, Grim hid the matter of the witch's soul projection, and the rest was revealed. As for this description, he simply omitted the entire battle of fate, and directly prevaricated as if he knew nothing outside the tower.

When the apprentices and disciples excitedly asked if Lord Alice was now at the 3rd or 4th order, Grim smiled directly and did not answer.

After satisfying everyone's curiosity, Grim told Sanazar about the celebratory dinner again, and handed it over to Kodar and Amm and the others.

For such a thing, both disciples and apprentices are extremely willing to serve.

After all, with the rise of the Grim family, these apprentices below the wizard level are also looked at differently by the family, and they are far higher than the wizard apprentices of other families in terms of task selection, resource allocation, and welfare. So even though Grim doesn't have much time to manage and nurture them all day long, their core cohesion is still quite high.

Of course, this is also due to the Wizard Meryl!

When a few disciples went down with a group of apprentices to get busy, only Meryl and Kirby were left in the residence, and Grim revealed some information to a limited extent.

When she heard that Alice was now only a first-order strength, but she was surrounded by a group of high-level witches with ill intentions, and she was calculating and calculating all day long, Meryl's face turned pale.

Thinking that it was just the deception between the apprentices back then, it already made her feel palpitations, and she didn't want to recall many painful past events at all. Unexpectedly, the risks she faced after becoming a wizard continued unabated, which made her even more cringe and worried.

Grim also saw that this Meryl really didn't like to fight, she just liked to do her part quietly, and then do some research and experiments in her spare time, and live this long and boring life leisurely.

And she doesn't have any talent in combat, but she is a good management wizard.

There are actually quite a few such female wizards, and most of them need to find a stronger male wizard to rely on in order to be safe and resourceful. Otherwise, with their weak character and weak fighting ability, they can easily become the prey of other wizards.

And when Meryl was in a daze for Alice in the distance, Grim also had a quick exchange with Kirby. The focus of their communication was on Kirby's personal relationship with the goblin Grand Duke, and as for the operation and income of the secret shop, Grim only took it with him and asked about it and didn't care anymore.

Anyway, in Federnand City, there are Kodar and others to help him, and he also has his own name in town, and Goblin Kirby's secret method shop is getting better and better, and it can already support the basic expenses of the Grim series.

Seeing that Meryl was really worried about Alice, Grim could only smile wryly and take out the Hejilla Resonance Crystal and hand it to her. Meryl immediately ran back to her abode with her hands in her hand, apparently anxious to get in touch with Alice.

When he was the only one left in the dwelling, Grim opened the witchcraft protection and pulled out a dimensional bag.

This was given to him by Alice before leaving, and he forced his curiosity to open it along the way, and now he finally had time to slowly examine the contents.

"Tomman answered, in the name of the wind......"

After the short opening spell is completed, the red rope on the dimensional bag automatically opens, and a strong elemental glare is emitted inside.

Grim curiously poured his spiritual power into it, and then took them out one by one.

Three pieces of Ayn stone, respectively red, purple and blue.

The red one can increase two points of mental power after activation, the blue one can forcibly absorb an elemental attack with an attack strength of less than 80 degrees, and the purple one is even more valuable, and can actually provide a protective barrier with a strength of 120 degrees for the mind. As long as the enemy's cumulative attacks do not exceed this limit, it will protect Grim from psychic damage.

Flame of Destruction, an elemental wand that is also well-known in the wizarding world, is 2 meters long and pitch-black, and seems to be made of some special magical iron alloy. A groove at the top of the staff is inlaid with a fist-sized dark red crystal.

Grim knew of the crystal, the Doom Star, a mutated crystal salvaged from the edge of the world of annihilation. It is capable of transforming any fire-based power into a destructive flame, giving it a natural hint of annihilation.

This kind of flame is especially good at destroying elemental sorcery protection, and it is a weapon for breaking defenses!

Grim's original Flame Lord's scepter was used as an apprentice, and it was still powerful enough. However, since becoming a wizard, the power of the Fire Scepter's attacks has become dispensable, and the quasi-witch-level fire djinn it summons is even more difficult to deal with wizard-level opponents. In the last few battles, Grim has rarely used the original Fire Scepter.

So this wizard-level Flame of Destruction Staff came at the right time, allowing Grim to get out of the embarrassing situation of not having a wand to use!

In addition, in the dimensional bag, Grim also found a strange crystal and a small note.

The crystals are the size of a fist and are dark cyan in color, and purple liquid can be faintly seen flowing inside. And when Grim held the crystal in his hand, a surging magic wave that had been isolated for a long time had already surged, and it also carried the fierce aura of an ancient beast.

Dragon Crystal!

This is the crystal nucleus of a Tier 2 dragon!

Judging by the color and magic attribute of the crystal nucleus, this is a wind-attribute dragon crystal.

Grim sighed.

Many of the resources he invested in Alice have been destroyed after the battle of fate, and it can be seen that Alice is compensating herself in this way. Although all these things made Grim's heart move, the most heartwarming thing was Alice's parting ...... That kiss.

With a look of nostalgia on his face, Grim slowly opened the last note.

Above is Alice's handwriting, just a few simple words.

Vesuvius!
