Blazing Flame Monarch.
An exceptionally luxurious and grand celebration banquet was being held in the Molten Hall.
Over a hundred official Magi belonging to the Crimson Family gathered here with smiles on their faces, toasting and celebrating as they waited for the higher-ups of the family to appear.
The first to arrive at the banquet was naturally the Gnome Great Sage Kabi, who had the most connections and resources.
Also present with it was the leader of the goblin mechanical warlock 'Violent Blood Group', Dushila Tarzan, who commanded more than 300 goblin mechanical warlocks. La Lazare.
Once they arrived, they went straight to a corner of the hall, where they found the Demonized Goblin leader, Dean Gonga, and the Goblin princess, Vanessa. The five of them gathered together and started chatting enthusiastically.
If the Goblin Tigule, who was a Tier 2 Magus, was added to the mix, then the five heads of the Crimson Family's goblin faction would be gathered together!
What they discussed the most, other than the losses suffered by the Goblins during the War of the Sorcerers, was also how the Goblin Merchant Associations would occupy business opportunities in the large-scale reconstruction of their territories after the war, as well as how to deal with the challenges and opportunities of the outside world.
But privately, what they were most concerned about was the possible reward from the Crimson Family!
Through various covert channels, the few Goblin leaders had already found out that the hero who had worked the hardest in this battle, the Scarlet Butler Geggo, had already received an internal reward from the Lord Family Head.
The Giant Snake Sorcerer's Bloodline Regeneration Potion and Bloodline Purification Potion!
With these things, no matter how low the Gargamel's innate talent was, he would still have an 80% chance of successfully advancing to rank 2 and changing his bloodline innate talent to the noble giant serpent bloodline.
For the Gargamel who was on the verge of death, this was no less than a reshaping of his body, extending his lifespan by another one or two hundred years. The deep meaning contained within this made the few Goblin Big Bosses at the scene extremely envious, yet they could not reach it.
After all, Gargamel had worked day and night for the Crimson Family for the past few decades. His achievements were obvious to all, and no one could deny him. As for the other Scarlet Magnate, Witch Winley, she was the master's disciple and was loyal to her teacher. Thus, she also obtained a powerful Fire Dragon bloodline.
The reason why the two of them were forcefully promoted by the Patriarch was naturally due to their status, achievements, and loyalty. No matter how envious, jealous, and hateful others were, they could only drool, and they were powerless to fight with them for anything.
To be honest, a core Magus whose lifespan was about to run out at any time was hard to be at ease in managing a long-term, healthy, and stable operation of a family with them at the center.
After extending Gargamel and Winley's lifespan, it also effectively stabilized the core of the Crimson Family.
As for raising their ranks, it would prevent the family's core Magi, who were only at rank 1, from ordering around a bunch of rank 2 and 3 Magi. As the manager of a family, having the strength of a Grade 2 expert was enough. If he forcefully promoted it to Tier 3, it would be a huge waste of combat power and resources.
Of course, before making these decisions, Grim might not have considered the matter so deeply or so far ahead. However, the experience he had gained over a hundred years and the foresight of a superior made it easy for him to handle such matters.
Moreover, the entire Crimson Family was created by him. Within the family, he was the absolute authority that stood by his words. Many things did not need to be carefully thought out. As long as he did as he pleased, he would be able to achieve a good result.
After all, the strength of a family was measured by the top-level combat power within the family. As for the number and development of low-ranked Magi, they were just the icing on the cake.
Even after Grim left the Crimson Family, he was still a Grade 3 Legendary Fire Magus that everyone respected. If he wanted to create a family or faction, he only needed to say the word and he could easily reach a level that low-ranked Magi could not achieve even after hundreds of years of hard work.
Without Grim, the Crimson Family's status would drop in an instant. Even with the support of two Grade 3 Magi, it would still be difficult to achieve the current situation and level.
A powerful Grade 3 Magus could not even be compared to three to five other Magi of the same rank!
This was one of the main reasons why Grim was given the title of 'Legendary' and was renowned in the scattered Forest of Towers.
After being envious of Gargamel, the few Goblin powerhouses could not help but think about the hidden dangers of the Goblin Faction.
Similar to Gargamel, other than the Goblin Princess Vanessa who had turned into a Mechanical Magus, the rest of the Goblin powerhouses all had the same problem, which was the short lifespan of the Goblin Tribe.
On average, Goblins only had half the lifespan of humans!
Even though they had been pampered all these years and had consumed many precious Magi resources, they were still unable to change the shackles of their inferior Goblin bloodline.
The Goblin Great Sage Kirby was slightly better. He had taken the path of a Magus, and as a Grade 1 Goblin Magus, he had a lifespan of more than a hundred years. With the addition of some Magus rituals, his lifespan had been increased to the limit, barely reaching a hundred and seventy years.
After such a long period of torment, he had less than twenty years left to live.
Twenty years … It might sound like a long time, but for a Sorcerer, it was a very short time.
Hence, all these years, Kirby had been searching for resources or methods that could fundamentally change the shackles of his life. The Bloodline Regeneration Potion that appeared in the family was undoubtedly the safest and most reliable one.
Although Kirby claimed to be one of the 'elders' of the Crimson Family, as Grim continued to advance, the gap between their statuses grew larger and larger. It was difficult for Kirby to enter the decision-making ranks of the family. Most of the time, it was difficult for it to even see Grim.
The other Gnome leaders were facing the same predicament as Kabi.
The leader of the Goblin Mechanical Warlock Explosive Blood Group, Dushira? Lhasalei was already forty-eight years old. In human terms, he was close to a hundred years old.
The leader of the Demonized Goblins, Dean Gonga, was seventy-three years old. He had far exceeded the lifespan of an ordinary Goblin, and no one knew how long his demonized body could last.
The Goblin War God, Tigula, was only forty-five years old. He was the youngest of the Goblins. With its identity and status, it would not be a problem for it to extend its life for another ten or twenty years. However, even if he used the best and most expensive life-extending ritual, he would not be able to live for another hundred years.
Hence, the problem of extending his life was one of the biggest problems he was concerned about.
Just as the few Goblin powerhouses were whispering in a corner of the hall, there was a commotion at the entrance.
Winley, the core Magus of the Crimson Family, was escorted by a group of Magi into the Molten Hall.
After years of nourishment from her bloodline and the fires of war, Winley had changed from her gentle and elegant appearance to a dignified and domineering one.
Her bright red dragon skin armor had been carefully tailored and processed, completely fitting her youthful and hot body. Her breasts were perky and her buttocks were perky, showing off her curvaceous and perfect figure without a doubt. The violent and ferocious aura of the Fire Dragon bloodline made her body abnormally hot and flirtatious, and the heat was overwhelming.
If not for the fact that they were familiar with her, Kirby and the others would have thought that she was a different person.
When Winley walked into the Molten Hall with her head held high and chest puffed out, the temperature in the hall seemed to have risen by five degrees.
This was the underground Molten Hall, which was more than two hundred meters below the surface. The floor they were standing on was a surging sea of lava. As the Crimson Family's head was a legendary Fire Magus, the temperature in the Molten Hall was maintained at around sixty to seventy degrees in order to create an atmosphere that matched the family's attributes.
Normal humans could not survive here. Even weak Magi like Kirby and Gonga could only rely on the Fire Resistance Pendant and the Cooling Ring to move around freely.
As for the other Magi, although most of them did not like the scorching and sulfuric environment, they were still Grade 1 Magi and had no problem enduring such high temperatures.
After becoming a Fire Dragon Witch, Winley's bloodline had completely adapted to the environment here. Hence, under the interaction of her aura, the fire elemental particles in the Molten Hall became abnormally restless and active.
Kabi and the others could see that although the Magi surrounding Winley were all smiling, their foreheads and cheeks were covered in sweat. It was obvious that they were having a hard time withstanding the fire elemental energy that the Fire Dragon Witch was constantly emitting.
What was rare was that despite the discomfort, they still pretended to be calm and did not show any signs of discomfort on their faces.
Following the Crimson Family's defeat of another powerful enemy, the family's influence and scale were about to explode once again. At this time, whoever could gain the favor of the higher-ups of the family and occupy the best position would undoubtedly rise quickly.
Hence, even if they were crying for their parents, no Magus was willing to distance themselves from this core Magus of the Crimson Family.
Just as everyone gathered around Winley and whispered to each other, there was another commotion at the entrance of the Molten Hall. Several Grade 2 Magi of the family with different appearances walked in one after another.
There was the tall and mighty Draconian Zachary, the Gnome Tigule who only reached the Draconian's calf, the Insect Lich Bliss who always hid in a thick robe, the two Blood Knights Soros and Winsal, the three Blood Elves Isa, Leelia, and Spara, as well as the cloned brain Gru who remained in the family after the war …
Their arrival caused the atmosphere of the banquet to become lively once more.
The Magi who were familiar with each other greeted each other and lightly clinked their wine glasses before downing their drinks. The banquet hall was filled with laughter and cheers, filled with words of praise for the great family leader.
At this moment, the entrance of the hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone held their wine glasses and turned their heads, casting their gazes on a certain Magus who was walking over with large strides.
Sensing the strange and mysterious changes on the other party, all the Magi could not help but feel a fire burning in their hearts, their eyes shining.
Gargamel …
