Chapter 0907: Crimson Outlook
The Crimson family is so peculiar and unusual among all wizarding families!
It has only been fifty or sixty years since it was first known.
And what is fifty or sixty years for a wizarding family?
For a secular realm, a dynasty may have just ended, for a low-ranking wizard, it may have just climbed a small rank, and for those high-ranking wizards, it may only be enough to complete a large sorcery experiment......
However, it was enough for the Crimson family to grow from an obscure miniature family to a behemoth now second only to those large families.
And such a process, other wizarding families often take hundreds of years, or even nearly a thousand years, to complete.
As for the more peculiar, it was the legendary patriarch of the Crimson family......
With his inferior talent, he barely became a wizard's apprentice, and he suffered day after day in a low-level resource point under the Sarubo family. However, with the opening of a region-wide compulsory mission in Scattered Tallinn, this ordinary wizard apprentice in the early stage soared into the sky and grew rapidly.
According to rumors, he appeared to be a junior apprentice before the mission began, but by the time the mission ended, he had grown into an advanced apprentice.
Having crossed two minor ranks in one mission, although he was only an apprentice, he had already revealed his extraordinariness and legend.
From then on, he was out of control, and not long after returning to the resource point station, he became a quasi-witch again, and gained the attention of the Sarubo family.
But how exactly Grim became a wizard is unknown.
Even if some wizarding organizations spend a lot of effort to investigate, they can only barely find out that there seems to be something wrong with the resource point garrison where Grim was staying, and even the wizard stationed there has died. However, Grimm, Mary, and the other guy who drove the insects were a blessing in disguise and successfully promoted to wizard.
Less than half a year after being promoted to wizards, the three of them were thrown into a dimensional war by the Sarubo family. It is said that Grim's performance was exceptionally good, so he was favored by the Grand Wizard of Sarupo and was able to smoothly enter the upper echelons of the Sarubo family.
Since then, the Grim wizard seems to have been somewhat at odds with the upper echelons of the Sarubo family, and there have been frequent rumors of internal discord.
The two wizards, Grim and Mary, also officially left the Sarubo family after the service contract ended. It is said that this also caused an internal split in the Sarubo family, with a considerable number of wizards and apprentices following the two to quit the Sarubo family.
But from then on, Grim really stepped into his legendary life!
In less than a hundred years, Grim founded the Crimson Family with a small private witch tower as the center, and began to frequently break into the Otherworld. And he himself was promoted again in less than a hundred years after being promoted to a Rank 2 Wizard, becoming a famous Rank 2 Wizard.
It was also during this period that the reputation of the Crimson family gradually became known to outsiders!
But what really made the Crimson family famous was the presence of dragons.
The Crimson family seems to have opened a passage to the dragon plane, and can obtain a steady stream of dragon resources and enviable dragon wealth from it. And these two are the sources of wealth for the rapid rise of the Crimson family.
With the resources and wealth usurped from the dragon plane, the Crimson family instantly multiplied their net worth and quickly grew from a humble miniature family to a small family......
And because it rose too fast, it also attracted a group of 'evil wolves'.
The five wizarding families or organizations led by the Kamala family joined forces and casually found some excuses to launch a wizarding war against the Crimson family. And the result of the war was so unexpected, the Crimson family actually repelled the coalition of five wizard forces with a large number of metal puppets in the absence of the legendary patriarch in the wizarding world.
And it was precisely by relying on this miraculous defeat that the Crimson family grew up rapidly by absorbing the blood of the vanquished, and then rushed out of the Flame Throne Witch Tower, plundering land in the Elovis region, and had the posture of jumping to the middle family in one fell swoop.
In order to curb the continued expansion of the Crimson Family, the third-order patriarch of the Kamala family, the veteran high-level wizard Yurga, chose the family challenge. And it was this incredible battle that forged Grim's legendary wizard identity.
A second-order fire witch, the patriarch of a newly rising family, actually killed an old third-order wizard by magical means in front of everyone's eyes.
This kind of thing that has never happened before in the history of the wizarding world just happened!
After annexing Kamala and several other factions, the Crimson family quickly gained a foothold in the Elovis region and began to extend their family power into the territory of the Northland Witches.
In the Northlands, in the extremely cold Northlands ruled by witches, the Crimson family somehow caught up with the big ship of the Witch of Destiny and actually occupied a piece of Nuoda territory in a place called the Ice Wind Realm. I heard that the Crimson family is also developing there, and it is not inferior to the Elovis region in the middle of the continent.
In private, there are many wizards who rumor that the legendary fire witch of the Crimson family and Alice, the leader of the Destiny Witch among the Northland witches, seem to have some ambiguous relationship. This can be seen in the depth and breadth of the cooperation between the two sides.
For this, many old guys in Tallinn, a scattered place in the middle of the continent, are obviously dissatisfied!
In their opinion, this is a sign that the Crimson family has become a vassal and vanguard of the Northland Witches, and will introduce the Northland Witch power to the whole of Scattered Tallinn.
Therefore, over the years, the power of the Crimson family has only been limited to the Elovis region and some newly opened territories. If you want to expand your influence in other regions, you will be hit hard by the local wizarding organization or family.
This also caused the goblin faction belonging to the Crimson family to work hard, and could only extend their influence to a few neutral cities. As for the private territories, they are not welcome.
There are even cases in many areas where goblin caravans were robbed and killed halfway and the entire army was wiped out.
It's just that as the Crimson family's power becomes stronger and stronger, this kind of thing they do is becoming more and more secretive, and their hands and feet are getting cleaner and cleaner.
Unfortunately, with the assistance of the Witches of Fate, no matter what method the sneak attackers used to erase the traces of tracking, the Crimson family was able to find the main messenger and the murderer smoothly. With a few medium-sized wizard forces falling into the hands of the crimson family's cruising motherships and overwhelming magic armies, no force dares to stretch out its black hand easily!
Just as some Rank 4 wizards gradually shifted their attention to the Crimson Family, letting out the wind and preparing to clean it up, the legendary fire witch actually brought back a huge metal puppet dragon with a strength of up to Rank 4 from the secondary plane.
This time, the storm that had just been noisy subsided in an instant!
Although there was an undercurrent surging underneath the entire scattered Tallinn, at least on the surface, no wizard force dared to openly deal with this Crimson family again.
It's easy to say that the Crimson family doesn't have a 4th order, so it's cleaned up. But now that a fourth-order puppet suddenly appeared in the Crimson Family, and its strength was strong, those fourth-order wizards also died down, dispelling the idea of stepping on it casually.
Even if those Tier 4 wizards had a considerable chance of winning against a stiff and rigid Tier 4 puppet, they were not willing to take such an inexplicable risk.
With their strength, with their prestige, as long as they are still in the clan, the wizard family or organization they represent will always stand. No Tier 4 wizard would be an enemy of a wizard of the same rank, and no amount of lucrative benefits would tempt them to make a move with another Tier 4 wizard.
Because once a feud is formed, no wizard family or force can resist the blow of a fourth-order wizard who tears his face. Even if there is another Tier 4 wizard guarding it.
The wizard has advanced to the 4th rank, and the difference in personal means and abilities has become so great that it is difficult for outsiders to understand. A bloodline curse, a death witchcraft, can tear a family apart in an instant, with heavy casualties.
Therefore, if there is no need, even those fourth-order wizards are not willing to provoke another fourth-order wizard for the sake of a few resources and benefits.
Although the fourth-order puppet of the Crimson family has not yet reached the terrifying power of a fourth-order wizard, the ghost knows what terrible hole cards are still hidden in the hand of that guy named Grim. Therefore, with the long years and old age of the 4th order wizards, as long as the Crimson family does not provoke them, they are not willing to touch this hard nail.
…………
Northland, White Tower.
A delicately shaped cigar-style cruising mothership floats slowly high in the air near the White Tower.
Thanks to the use of magical energy as a power source, this cruising mothership does not have the metal clanging of gears constantly colliding like other mechanical ships.
Like a silvery-white cigar, the Chiva cruising mothership silently crushed flocculent clouds, floating gracefully in the sky. Little Locke, the goblin magician, stood on the edge of the ship, excitedly looking down at the dark forest, tall ancient trees, and undulating mountains and lakes that quickly crossed beneath him.
As a newly-promoted family wizard, with its qualifications and strength, it is naturally not qualified to control such a powerful mothership full of magical technology. However, given its goblin background, Wizard Meryl moved it to the Chiva and worked under the second-order Thoros knight.
Knight Soros is the captain of the Chiva mothership, and Locke Jr. is just one of the three wizards who accompany the mothership.
Their mission is to patrol the Black Forest between the White Tower and Dofland.
Of course, the supply of living and building supplies for the new Duffland City was also handled by the Chiva.
