While Forgan and Cogan were whispering to each other, a young Wizard standing beside them was lost in thought.
It seemed like the name the two Wizards kept mentioning had brought back some memories. The young Wizard stood there in a daze, with a face full of confusion and annoyance. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Am … Am …" Wizard Forgan called him twice before he could wake the young Wizard up.
"Oh, Mr. Forgan, you called me? I was too engrossed in my thoughts just now … "The young Wizard Am forced a smile and quickly bowed to the rank 2 Wizard Forgan.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to remind you. I heard that your class-advancing partner, Meryl, has also arrived at Kirslin Castle. We might bump into them there, so you better be prepared. Damn it, even this little brat had already advanced to the Second Order. What's wrong with this world … "
Am's body trembled, and he quickly bowed his head in acknowledgment.
Forgan and Cogan glanced at him for a second and then looked away. However, there was a trace of sympathy and vigilance in their eyes.
In terms of status, this Am was the senior brother of the powerful Fire Dragon Witch Meryl. They were both apprentices personally taught by Grimm. However, there was a huge difference between the two of them.
Meryl was only a normal female apprentice with average talent. Being able to reach rank 1 could be said to be a blessing from the heavens. She had used up all the luck in her life. In comparison, Am's potential after reaching rank 1 was definitely much higher than Meryl's.
With Meryl's talent that made people shake their heads, it would already be considered good if she could reach the intermediate rank before she died. Wizard Am, on the other hand, was estimated to be at the advanced rank 1. If he was lucky, he could reach the peak of rank 1 before his lifespan came to an end, and he might even have a chance to reach rank 2.
Therefore, no matter what, Am's potential should be better than Meryl's!
Unfortunately, life would never develop smoothly according to one's expectations.
Since Meryl was able to advance to Tier 1, she was naturally very grateful to her teacher. Hence, she constantly protected and protected her teacher, displaying her loyalty. Even though there was a grudge between Grim and the higher-ups of the Sarubo Family, she chose to stand on her teacher's side without hesitation.
As for Amu … she chose another path.
Under Wizard Forgan's persuasion and enticement, Am was not optimistic about Grim leaving the Salubo Family, so he was willing to be a spy and a spy. It was because of his betrayal that the Blazing Flame Monarch's internal information flowed into Wizard Forgan's hands.
The first time the Blazing Flame Monarch faced a crisis of destruction was when the Tier 3 Vampire led a large number of his family members in a large-scale attack.
Based on the situation at that time, Grim's faction had no chance of surviving.
Using that crisis, Am had officially left Grim's camp and returned to the Salubo family. He was rewarded by Wizard Forgan and accepted as his disciple.
However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.
Not only was Grim's faction not wiped out, they even used the crisis to rise again.
They massacred the Vampire Family, repelled the allied forces of the five Magus Families, and killed the Tier 3 Magus Yurga in a fair fight. Recently, the Crimson Family had even defeated the Fabris Family, one of the five super families in the scattered Tower Forest. His former teacher even showed off his might and chased away the rank 4 Magus, Declan.
This series of events was simply dazzling, but it was also hair-raising!
This was especially so when Am heard that in order to reward Meryl for her loyalty and hard work, Grim had 'wasted' his precious fire dragon bloodline on her.
To be honest, Am's heart was torn to pieces the moment he heard this news.
He locked himself in his residence and smashed everything in the house, including the rare alchemy experiment table he'd spent a large amount of resources to buy. The crazed Am even summoned a few of his female acolytes and 'groped' them for three days and three nights before he finally calmed down.
Of course, Amu spent a lot of resources to cover up the incident.
However, from that day onwards, his heart had been turned upside down.
When he was still an acolyte, out of the five acolytes under Grim, he was the only one with the fire element. If … He had fantasized over and over again that if he was still by Grim's side, who else would be able to inherit the powerful fire element talent of a legendary Fire Wizard other than himself?
It was this unrealistic fantasy that tormented Am deeply.
He thought about it day and night, almost to the point of going berserk!
He had no choice, he had to think about it …
His identity and everything he'd done were already known to the members of his family. Hence, even if the faraway Crimson Family did something, the members of the Sarubo Family would look at him with a strange expression.
He hated those expressions!
He did not need anyone's pity, did not want to see others rejoice in his misfortune, and did not want to hear anything related to the Crimson Family.
Unfortunately, the Crimson Family's actions were too earth-shattering and unimaginable!
When the Fabris Family moved out in large numbers and attacked the Crimson Family's territory with irresistible force, the Crimson Family was beaten to the point where they could not resist and could only retreat to their last isolated city. All the Magi of Salubo ran over to praise Amu's excellent foresight for jumping out of that terrifying pit of fire ahead of time.
For a while, Amu was glad about it.
However, when the Legendary Fire Wizard chased away the Tier 4 Wizard the moment he appeared and crushed the Fabris Family's army, all the Sarubo Family's Wizards fell silent. When they looked at Amu again, it was as if they were looking at the biggest, stupidest fool in the world.
During that period of time, Am had also lost a lot of weight.
To be honest, when he heard that the legendary Fire Wizard had caused a huge commotion, and actually managed to squeeze into the scattered Tower Forest Association's rank 3 wizard selection, Am was extremely calm.
Originally, Wizard Forgan and Wizard Cogan did not plan to bring Am along when they went to Kothrin Castle, but for some reason, Am actually begged his teacher to bring him along.
As for the reason, even Am himself could not explain it.
He no longer wanted to go back and evaluate the choices he had made in the past.
Right now, he just wanted to see his former teacher with his own eyes, to see his former companion … As for why he wanted to see it, and what he wanted to do after seeing it, to be honest, Am had no clue.
… …
5 days later, the floating airship finally arrived at Kothrin Castle.
Following the dense flow of people, they got off the airship, and in front of them was a beautiful giant square. The whole place was paved with white moonstone, and it shone brightly under the warm sunlight. If it were night time, the White Moonstone, which had stored a day's worth of light elements, would emit a hazy, illusory, and gentle light, making this place even more beautiful.
In the center of the square stood a giant stone statue. It was a hundred meters tall, wearing a wizard robe, and his face was hale and hearty. The statue of the old wizard was carved out of a giant stone. Whether it was his eyebrows, skin, or clothes, they were all extremely lifelike. The details were even more exquisite.
At first glance, anyone would think this giant stone statue was a living wizard, looking down at every outsider that came to Kothrin Castle.
"So this is Wizard Jonard, the first president of the scattered Tower Forest Association …" Wizard Forgan looked up at the wizard statue and sighed in awe.
Of course, Cogan and Am, who were following behind him, knew what Wizard Forgan was feeling was not the glory of this president Jonard, but his regret. No matter how talented this president Jonard was, he still could not cross the threshold of rank 4 and become a true grand wizard.
Therefore, he was destined not to be immortal. After living for 1173 years, he died of old age in Kothrin Castle.
However, this was Kothrin Castle, so if he said the second half of his sentence, it would offend the association. Therefore, Wizard Forgan could only express his emotions by praising the statue.
"Fire Dragon Witch … It's the Fire Dragon Witch …"
Suddenly, for no reason, a commotion broke out among the wizards that were slowly admiring the scenery of Kothrin Castle on the square. Low gasps could be heard one after another.
Fire Dragon Witch Meryl?
Wizard Forgan and the other two were slightly stunned. They quickly turned their heads towards the direction of the sound.
Near a stone arch on the west side of the plaza, two young witches in high spirits stood side by side, greeting a group of Magi who had just disembarked from the airship from afar.
In the past 10 years, the Crimson Family had been quietly labeled as a rank 4 force by the outside world, and more and more wizard families were willing to form an alliance with them. Especially those small and medium-sized families that were not powerful enough, they were more willing to get close to a new family like the Crimson Family, hoping to borrow their power to resist the covetous eyes of the surrounding forces.
Therefore, as one of the most powerful wizards in the Crimson Family, Fire Dragon Witch Meryl, even if she was tens of thousands of miles away, she still had to maintain a close relationship with some of her family's allies.
Today, a few of the Crimson Family's allies had rushed to Kothrin Castle to support them, so Meryl came to the parking area to welcome them.
Other than a few of her family's allies, Meryl and Emelia also smiled and greeted the wizards that came forward to express their friendliness. The two beautiful witches of different shapes and sizes stood side by side, giving people a refreshing sense of beauty.
In the past, Meryl could not be considered a great beauty. At most, she could only be called gentle and beautiful.
But now, under the nourishment of the abundant Fire Dragon bloodline, her limbs and waist seemed especially slender and slender. Her tender and clean skin was overflowing with a layer of surging energy aura, giving people a feeling that she was filled with great power and swelling.
Beauty in the secular world had lost its value in the eyes of the wizards. Only unparalleled power could be recognized as beauty!
