Chapter 0307: Suspicion
This is actually the sorrow of most wizarding families!
After becoming a wizard, due to the closure of the life energy system and the huge change in physical factors, it has become a huge problem to have children and reproduce offspring like ordinary people. Even if there are occasional successful people, it is very likely that they will be ordinary people or simply some abnormal fetuses.
However, if a wizard who is a parent is strong enough, or has a strong bloodline, although it is more difficult to give birth, it is very likely that the offspring born will continue his (or her) strong bloodline talent.
Most wizarding families, especially bloodline wizard families, usually refuse to intermarry with non-family members in order to maintain the purity and tradition of the family bloodline.
And within the Seaman family, the treatment gap between the family members who have awakened the power of the bloodline and the members of the family who have not awakened the power of the bloodline is simply staggering.
A bloodline descendant like Celia will be pooled by the family and worked hard to cultivate, and if you are lucky enough, you will still have a chance to become a first-order bloodline wizard. However, once it is judged that the bloodline strength is not enough to support her to become a bloodline wizard, then her fate is doomed, and she can only become the fertility tool of the rest of the high-level bloodline wizards within the family.
And Celia was lucky to have a relatively powerful Thack grandfather to protect her, so she was able to spend a good childhood in Willic Castle.
Therefore, when the big tree above them collapses, their fate becomes dangerous and unknown!
Despite her constant reminders that she must leave the castle now, Celia, who has never traveled alone, has never mustered the courage to break out of this world.
After awakening the power of the bloodline, she also went to some primeval forests to adventure and experience, but it was all done under the protection of a large group of mercenary teams and family apprentices. And the combat experience and life skills she has gained are still very few!
So when her brother, who is an ordinary person, keeps reminding her, Celia is still hesitating
Maybe the family wouldn't be so ruthless, maybe things would turn around, maybe Grandpa Thack was just seriously injured and hiding outside to recuperate......
However, just as the two of them were hiding in the house and whispering, a soft hissing voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Hide out......? Don't be delusional! You've probably forgotten that you're all in the blood of the He-Mans, and it's easy to track down your whereabouts......"
The door opened, and a male wizard with a gray triangular snake head walked in.
It's Aixa!
The family wizard sent by the family to deal with the aftermath of Grandpa Tuck.
The two people in the room faced each other, and their eyes showed a look of horror and cringe.
They knew very well that this Axar wizard had always been at odds with his grandfather. Since the family sent him, the decision made by the family elders is not to be known!
Looking at the strange vertical pupils of the Wizard of Exa, which shimmered with a grim light, Celia asked in a trembling voice, "How did the family decide on Grandpa Tark's death?"
"Of course it......" Wizard Exa sneered, "I won't pursue it anymore!" After all, this matter was killed by Sack who took the initiative to trouble the other party, and the other party has already submitted all the evidence to the Scattered Tallinn Association. The old immortals in those associations are constantly pressuring the family, demanding that the family hand over the murderer who undermines stability and unity. Boom ...... Zake is dead, what can the family hand over? Of course, you unlucky bastards, substitutes for the dead!"
"But Grandpa Sack is the most famous elite wizard in the family, and the contract he signed with the family also has the necessary provisions to protect future generations, does the family want to break the contract?"
"Hmph, the contract signed by Thack does have such a content, but unfortunately don't forget, Thack did not die in the family mission, but he ran out and secretly undertook a killing mission, but instead lost himself. Now the family is also very passive!"
"What the hell did the family elders say?"
"This matter is completely done by Zack, and the family is not obligated to bear the consequences for him. Therefore, the result of the negotiation between the family and the association was that all the territories and properties owned by Zak would need to be handed over to the boy of the Sarubo family. And you ...... Those of you who have the Sark bloodline also need to be handed over as well. ”
Speaking of this, Isaac glanced at the two of them with cold eyes: "And in order to prevent the loss of the family bloodline, the family specially appointed me to recover the giant snake bloodline of your Sak branch!"
The faces of the young men and women in the room turned pale in an instant.
In order to enrich the power of the bloodline, any bloodline wizard family will divide some foreign branches on the basis of the family's own branch, and use this method to absorb some foreign wizard powerhouses to serve their own family. In some cases, these alien branches are also given a portion of the family bloodline, but if the alien member violates the family's interests, the bloodline may be brutally withdrawn.
And the recycling process is extremely cruel and terrifying!
Under the dual oppression of the Sarupo family and the Sandi Tallinn Association, the He-Mans were forced to hand over the members of the Saxon Wizard family to vent their anger. However, the Seaman family did not want their family bloodline to fall into the hands of outsiders, so they sent Isaac to Willic Castle to preside over the recovery ceremony.
It's night.
Celia, who had awakened the power of the bloodline, was taken to the vault of the main castle, and her terrible and terrifying wails continued all night until it was nearly dawn.
Twelve days later.
All thirty-seven members of the Sakh family were sent to the city of Ferdinand, and the title deeds of Willic Castle, Van Dir City, and the surrounding ten miles of land were also sent to the Sarubo family.
According to the prior agreement, the city of Vandir was transferred to the Sarupo family, and Grim was given the castle of Willik and the surrounding three miles of land. At the same time, five members of the Zake family, one bloodline with the Awakened bloodline, and four family apprentices were also sent to Grim's hands.
The remaining thirty have been disposed of by the Sarubo family, including the Saxor's grandson. Since he doesn't have any strength in his body, in the eyes of outsiders, he is almost no different from an ordinary person. So he was executed before he even had a chance to get to Grim.
In the dwelling on the seventh floor of the Wizard's Tower, Grim personally inspected the five-person group of slaves.
Originally, I heard that one of the five people sent had awakened the power of the bloodline, and Grim was still a little moved. But when he saw the few people who were escorted into the room, his mood instantly became bad.
The woman at the head is obviously fifteen years old, but looking at her godless and gray pupils and old and loose facial skin, no matter how you look at it, she should be an old woman in her sixties and seventies. And in her body, Grim couldn't even feel the slightest breath of bloodline power, nor could he sense the breath of any elemental power.
She...... She seems to be just an ordinary person. No, a person of premature aging who is more miserable than ordinary people!
Damn, that Seaman family did enough to completely drain the power of the bloodline in her body, leaving nothing left for herself.
Such a Saxon blood relative can only be directly erased, and no one wants to leave the descendants of the enemy, and then have a revenge or something after a few decades. Without the power of the bloodline, she was not even qualified to be a research subject for Grim.
Grim shook his head helplessly, and could only look back.
The remaining four apprentices, the Sarubo family, have already investigated, and they have no blood connection with Tark. They only took refuge in Sak for knowledge and resources, so there was no need to kill them all.
After forcing them to sign a new service contract, Grim threw them to Alice, who had just returned, and asked her to return to Willic Castle with her, and carefully clean up the property and servants there.
The bloodline of the descendants of Zac was recovered, and Grim could only grit his teeth and endure it. If even the resources and personal collections left by Sax in the castle are "recovered", Grim will have to go to the members of the Heman family to talk about it.
After dealing with Sark's affairs, the next thing that worries Grim the most is the female illusionist who escaped.
Grim always has a feeling that she is the key to solving the puzzle of interception!
After returning to the Wizard's Tower, thinking about that night, Grim felt that the whole thing didn't seem so simple. It is possible that the Bloody Hand Butcher of the Body Refining Wizard has something to do with the Mafia Society, but the Sax Wizard of the Heman family is definitely not something that the Mafia Association can invite.
Vaguely, Grim felt that there seemed to be another mastermind behind the matter, and what they were plotting was not all themselves, it seemed that there was also a ...... Alice.
This can be seen from the fact that they only shoot the Bloody Hand Butcher pestering themselves at the beginning, and the other two main fighters actually run to strangle Alice and Kirby.
Kirby's survival relied on its invisibility and partial transformation techniques, which are difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and Alice's survival depended on luck.
To be honest, even Grim couldn't imagine that a would-be wizard could escape with his life under the talent attack of an elite wizard. If it weren't for the Void Stone that Grim had given her, I'm afraid he would have ended up with a completely petrified statue of Alice.
Judging from these signs, it seems that the other party prioritizes making sure that it is Alice who is killed, not himself.
That's telling!
Moreover, the pursuit of the female illusionist has never yielded any substantial results, and it seems that he has never heard of a figure of such a figure in the entire scattered Tallinn area. This made Grim wonder if what she had revealed that night might not have been what she was.
What is the purpose of the other party so deliberately hiding his identity?
