"Are you going to take refuge in our Witch Tower?"

Emaciated, withered, Gargamel scrutinized the wizarding apprentice in front of him with suspicion.

"Yes!" begged Billis anxiously, "My lord, as long as you allow me to continue my studies here, I will definitely be obedient and try to do my duty as an apprentice!"

Gargamel squinted as he listened, looking the other up and down.

Well, junior strength...... There is no too much troublesome family and organizational background...... Still a wandering apprentice...... Judging from the analysis of these points, the probability that the other party is an eyeliner planted by a certain family is very low. If any wizarding family really wants to fight this Flame Throne, at least a high-level apprentice is likely to be reused.

A junior apprentice with low talent, he is expected to slowly climb to the top and master the secrets of the Witch Tower. Even Gargamel would not dare to think like that, let alone expect any conspirator to make such a lowly mistake.

So the other party should be a poor apprentice who has no way out!

Knowing this, Gargamel's gloomy face finally squeezed out an ugly smile.

"The Benwu Tower has just been formed, and it is really in dire need of manpower. A wandering apprentice like you who has no introduction, no guarantee, we would not have accepted ......"

Hearing this, Billis, who had an expectant expression on his face, showed an anxious look on his face.

Gargamel's words soon took a turn for the worse.

“…… However, for the sake of your sincerity, this wizard can give you a chance......"

"Thank you...... Thank you......" Billis couldn't help but show a look of ecstasy and thanked him repeatedly.

"Don't thank you first, let's see your performance first!" Gargamel grabbed the void, and a metal talisman that was neither gold nor iron appeared in his hand: "Leave your witchcraft sigil inside, take it with you, and then go to the senior apprentice Torre, and ask him to arrange a room and work with you." You'll be an apprentice to the Flame Throne from now on!"

"Yes, yes...... I'll go!" Billis obediently engraved his personal witchcraft mark on the metal amulet, and carefully tugged it into his bosom, before bowing respectfully and leaving the room.

When his figure disappeared into the room, the beautiful and charming body of the forest demon appeared on Gargamel's side: "Why are you leaving this rookie apprentice for?

Seeing Ava coming, Gargamel, who was full of cruelty and viciousness, immediately transformed into the most caring and considerate husband, carefully helped her to sit down, and then put his right hand on her abdomen without the slightest abnormality, silently closing his eyes to sense the strange rhythm of life.

Although he didn't feel the slightest soul breath in it, the intensity of his life was significantly increased compared to before.

The forest demon Ava glanced at Gargamel angrily, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of pride and pride.

"A kid like this, although his strength is not very good, is the easiest to cultivate into a confidant!" The two of them were tired of each other for a long time, and Gargamemo explained as if he suddenly remembered: "The Witch Tower has now established itself in the first place, and it will definitely usher in a huge development in the future. Whether it is the master's family or other organizational forces, some eyeliner will be inserted one after another. So wedge a few nails in it in advance, so that you can control the situation more in the future......"

"Hmph......" Lin Demon Ava is obviously not interested in this set: "You human wizards just have a lot of eyes, and even a small witch tower wants you to fight for me and do so much......"

Gargamel shook his head and said, "This is not a bad thing, but a huge benefit! To put it mildly, since the construction of our Witch Tower, the surrounding Black Forest has become our appendage. As long as it does not fall, no one will take away the benefits here. According to my estimate, in the next few days, the Kamala family will send someone to contact us......

"Kamala?" Ava frowned, and couldn't help but ask, "You mean, the wizard family closest to Songta Town?"

"Of course!" "Of course!" Ever since Grimm handed over most of the authority of the Flame Throne Witch Tower to Gargamel, he has become the great steward of the Witch Tower: "If they move a little slower and let the old guys of the Scattered Tallinn Wizards' Guild smell it, I'm afraid the interests here will have nothing to do with them......"

Speaking of this, Gargamel couldn't help but stroke the few strands of goatee under his chin and couldn't help but burst out with a proud light in his eyes the size of mung beans.

"What do you mean...... The Wizards' Guild of Scattered Tallinn will send someone too?"

"Not only will it come, but it will come quickly!" Gargamel sneered triumphantly, "But these guys have always been arrogant and tight, and if you want to scrape a layer of oil on them, you have to look at the methods of a certain family...... ......"

…………

I have to say that Gargamel, a wild wizard who has been wandering in the middle of the continent for a hundred years, really has a deep understanding of the wizard family that is difficult for outsiders to understand.

The day after Bilis joined the Flame Throne, the emissaries of the Kamala family and the Hutchi wizards of the Scattered Tallinn Wizards' Guild arrived at the Witch Tower at the same time, bringing with them the goodwill and contracts of their respective families and forces.

The emissary of the Kamala family brought with him a contract of equal cooperation, stipulating that the two parties would act as equal and mutually beneficial partners to jointly develop the resources and land within the Black Forest hundreds of miles around the Flame Throne. The Kamala family was responsible for creating a small settlement of 1,000 people between the towns of Witch Tower and Songta, and Witch Tower was responsible for providing the necessary security.

Once the resulting territory is formed, the Kamala family will take 70% of the territory and its people, while the Wuta will not have to pay any price to gain 30% of the territory and the corresponding people.

In every way, this is a good thing for the Flame Throne Witch Tower!

After all, this is only Grim's personal private witch tower, and it is difficult to get the full support of the Sarupo family. Without the support of his family, he relied on himself to find suitable lords and raise funds to transform the remote and barren Black Forest into familiar land suitable for human habitation.

If Grim wants to monopolize the territory, he will have to reject the Kamala family's offer and do it all on his own. This also means that in the next hundred years, he will probably spend most of his time on tedious and complicated territory construction and trivial matters such as thousands of people eating, drinking, and Lazar.

And this, for Grim, who has great ambition and ambition, is undoubtedly unacceptable!

As for the Scattered Tallinn Wizards' Association, the conditions given were a little harsh.

As long as Grim agrees, with the Flame Throne Witch Tower as the core, the Wizarding Guild intends to build a public city here. However, the old guys of the Wizarding Association have always been unwilling to give up control of the city, and are only willing to give Grim a profit dividend in the form of magic crystals.

In the future, the land, people, resources, and mineral deposits in the surrounding territories will be converted into corresponding magic crystals and fed back to Grim, but he will not be allowed to interfere in the power operation of the public city.

Such conditions are simply harsh!

To be honest, the conditions that these two forces came up with, Grim was a little disdainful.

The conditions on the side of Tallinn were so harsh that they almost completely hollowed out Grim's power. And the Kamala family, on the other hand, can't get what Grim really needs.

As for the territories and resources they are most interested in, Grim only cares about the latter, but he is not interested in the former.

Territories and Subjects?Can these make him a Rank 2 Wizard?

He is now all focused on improving his strength, and is not keen on worldly power and wealth. If he now has a mature and stable family system, then the vast territory and endless resources can play a real role and cultivate qualified and coherent family successors.

But now he said something unpleasant, almost alone is working hard, and now even if he gives Grim a big territory, he doesn't have the heart to slowly cultivate wizard apprentices and cultivate wizards who are loyal to his family!

So for the conditions of the two families, Grim didn't want to accept either one.

But in this way, he can offend the local Snake and the old guys of the Wizarding Guild at the same time. It is conceivable that the life of the Flame Throne Witch Tower will not be easy in the future!

Just when Grim was in a dilemma, Gargamel, who had been prepared, whispered a few words in his ear, which immediately made him smile and shake his spirit.

Yin!

Gargamel's move is absolutely yin!

So, the day after the two forces came into contact with Grim, the monsters made a comeback again.

A team of adventurers who had crossed the Flame Cave and ventured into the northern forest was suddenly attacked by a horde of monsters, and the team of five only managed to return with one thief.

When he fled back to the makeshift camp covered in blood, it immediately caused an uproar.

Is the tranquility of the Black Forest just an illusion for half a month? Could it be that the surrounding monsters have not been cleared? Could it be that new monsters have broken into this vacuum territory?

A series of questions worried the mercenary adventurers......

With their strength, it would be a big risk to slaughter those jungle beasts. Once they encounter those terrifying monsters, their team will be ten times larger and ten times better equipped, and they will not be able to resist the strange and powerful witchcraft abilities of the other party.

The thief, who had fled back to the camp, was soon taken to the Witch Tower, where Grim inquired in detail about his fate in the presence of representatives of both parties.

They were attacked by monsters 70 miles northwest of the Flame Cavern, a terrifying demon dog with two heads. It led a group of twenty or thirty dog demons to attack their camp in the night.

The thief's companion was easily slaughtered with little resistance, while the thief escaped and overheard the conversation between the leader of the dog demon and another terrible Medusa in the wild.

Seem...... It seems that they are organizing a new wave of beasts, ready to storm the towers erected by human wizards once again.

And this information is obviously somewhat unexpected by all wizards!
