The atmosphere in the banquet hall immediately rose!
All the Magi in the meeting stopped their conversations and stared at the legendary and powerful Fire Magus with fervent gazes. It was as if they wanted to find out from his tall and muscular body the secret behind how he could advance so quickly and become so powerful.
However, when Grimm stepped into the hall and scanned the hall with his black pupils, all the Magi who looked at him could not help but feel a strange piercing pain on their skin. Their bodies suddenly became hot. Only when they lowered their heads and placed their hands on their chests to show their respect did the burning sensation quickly fade and disappear without a trace.
The regular Magi might not have felt anything and were still suspicious of this strange feeling that suddenly appeared and disappeared. The high-grade Magi's expressions changed slightly, no longer daring to look at Grimm as they did before.
Their spiritual senses were very clear.
In that moment of staring, Grimm had projected a trace of strange energy into their bodies. If they had looked at him for just a little longer, this strange energy could have turned into some kind of terrifying fire spell at any time.
It would not have mattered if only one Magus felt this, but it was obvious that all the Magi in the hall were being suppressed by the legendary Fire Magus. If this feeling was real, then this Magus Grimm's strength was too shocking and terrifying.
If they guessed correctly, this … should be a strange power of law!
Furthermore, the power of the laws was not something that their low-level Witchcraft Defense and Elemental Shield could block or conceal. This meant that if the legendary Fire Magus wanted to kill any low-grade Magus, he did not even need to lift a finger. All he needed to do was look at them.
Magi had always revered knowledge and power!
They only revered knowledge for the sake of greater power!
Therefore, when they faced a powerful Magus that they could never defeat, the only thing they could do was to bow and show their respect and humility to the other party.
Mirva accompanied Grimm to the center of the hall. Along the way, she constantly greeted the Grade 3 Magi in the crowd. When she met a few family leaders she was familiar with, she would point them out and introduce them to Grimm.
Grim only politely smiled in response to Mirva's greeting.
However, Meryl, who was following behind Grimm, was carefully memorizing Vice President Mirva's every move. She used her powerful spiritual power to memorize all the nods and greetings that the other party had greeted and nodded to.
As a rank 4 sorcerer and the patriarch of his family, Grimm did not need to care about these rank 3 'juniors'. However, as one of the higher-ups of the Crimson Family, Meryl was in charge of the next wave of family expansion. Naturally, she had to plan ahead.
Although the family had already done a detailed investigation on the targets they needed to attack, it was guaranteed that the large Magus families and the families of the rank 4 Magi would not be involved.
But it was better to be safe than sorry.
Who knew if those Tier 4 Sorcerers had some secret connection with some small Sorcerer family or faction? If they were dragged into the flames of war, there was a high chance that they would attract the interference of Tier 4 Sorcerers.
Today, Vice President Mirva's' performance 'was very likely a hint from him, pointing out a few Magus families that had a certain relationship with him. Meryl, who had already gained some experience, naturally understood and memorized the badges of these Magi and their families.
After the meeting, she would personally remove these families from the Crimson Family's war list.
This was also a form of respect and reverence for a rank 4 Magus!
"Kid, your advancement ceremony this time will be even grander and grander than mine. Look, look, even the Storm Giants of the Emerald Hills are here to join in the fun … "Mirva explained with a face full of smiles.
Hearing Mirva's words, Grimm's heart skipped a beat and he could not help but follow his gaze.
In a corner of the hall, five strange Storm Giants stood together, silently watching him.
There were men and women among them, and they were all three to four metres tall. Though they wore loose magus robes, the skin, limbs, and heads that were exposed were all blue. Under their transparent skin, one could faintly see tiny storm vortexes roaming about and colliding with each other. From time to time, they would even release flashes of blue lightning that covered their entire bodies.
The leader was a rank 3 Magus, while the other four were either rank 1 or rank 2.
They were evidently not very sociable with the other Magi, standing alone in a corner and almost never chatting with outsiders.
Seeing Grimm's gaze sweep over, the leader of the rank 3 Storm Giants placed his hand on his chest and bowed. The younger generation behind him hurriedly followed suit, bowing as well.
The only rank 2 Magus among them was a female. Though her skin and figure were a little strange, her facial features were not much different from a human's, making her look charming and beautiful. Perhaps it was because she was young and vigorous, but when she bowed her head and placed her hand on her chest, she curiously sized up Grimm.
However, when her gaze met Grimm's, she could not help but gasp in surprise. The blue storm energy in her body suddenly turned dark red, and her aura became chaotic.
The leader of the Storm Giants' expression changed, and he hurriedly pulled his female companion to lower her head to avoid Grimm's gaze. Only then did the flames in her body not ignite.
Of course, this sort of mindless energy radiation was not enough to kill a rank 2 Storm Giant, but it was unavoidable for her to make a fool of herself.
The main reason why Grimm lived in seclusion in the Blazing Flame Monarch was because, as a top-ranked Magus of the Magus World, if he was careless and did not restrain the terrifying flames in his body, he could cause irreversible damage to low-ranked Magi.
Hence, in order not to cause any regrets, not many members of the Crimson Family could stay by Grimm's side for long periods of time. Grimm had to be extremely careful even when he had sex with the peak rank 3 Mary. If he was not careful, it would end in tragedy.
Grimm was only curious about these Storm Giants.
Back in the day, before he'd made a name for himself, he'd obtained a quasi Magus Storm Core and forged it into a magic puppet to help him overcome various difficulties. Hence, when Mirva suddenly mentioned the Storm Giants, he could not help but take a few curious glances.
If he remembered correctly, there was a powerful Storm Altar in the Storm Kingdom where the Storm Giants resided. If he had the chance, Grimm really wanted to study it up close.
After all, the Storm Altar and the Flame Altar belonged to the same type of witchcraft. Since the other party could rely on the Storm Altar to create a kingdom that even wizards could not easily besiege, there must be something mysterious about it that outsiders could not understand.
To be honest, Grimm really wanted to understand these secrets so that he could strengthen the Flame Altar in the Blazing Flame Monarch.
If he could extend the Flame Altar into the depths of the fire elemental plane, Grimm might really be able to recruit a group of powerful flaming creatures to serve as his subordinates.
After all, a temporary Flame Gate could only recruit some useless soldiers and crab generals to serve as cannon fodder. However, if he could stabilize the Flame Gate, nurture and recruit a group of Flame Lords, then this summoning spell could become one of Grimm's trump cards.
When the two of them stood in the middle of the hall, Grimm extended his hand. Vice President Mirva was the first to step forward.
"Magi from all over the scattered towers, it is an honour for us to be gathered here today to celebrate Wizard Grimm's successful advancement to rank 4. On behalf of President Freid, I would also like to formally invite Lord Grimm to join the scattered towers association. I will also bestow upon you the status and authority of an elder! "
With that, Vice President Mirva took out a short black stick from his storage ring and waved it in Grimm's direction. After about three fingers, a strange green light shone in from outside the hall, shining on the elder's ring on Grimm's right hand.
As the green light shone, the runes on the ring flickered, as if it had established a special connection with somewhere far away. After a while, the green light dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the elder's ring.
Apart from being an extraordinarily large storage ring, it also had an abnormally powerful spatial spell: Soul Concealment.
Using the ring, Grimm could hide a part of his body in a safe place. When his body suffered a fatal blow in the outside world and his soul was about to scatter, he could use the ring's power to project a part of his soul back.
This way, although a large part of his soul would be destroyed and his body would be destroyed, the part of his soul that was projected back would have the chance to grow again.
Therefore, the 'Soul Concealment spell' was a pretty good life-saving spell.
At the very least, no Magus would choose death or losing a lot of their strength.
Apart from the 'Soul Concealment spell', the elder's ring also bestowed upon Grimm the same status as the other rank 4 Magi. With this authority, he could mobilize the internal resources of the association and the Magus troops that had been carefully nurtured.
On top of that, Grimm also had the authority to interfere with most of the affairs in the scattered towers forest.
As long as his actions did not affect the other Tier 4 Sorcerers or disrupt the order of the Sorcerers in the Scattered Tower Forest, Grimm would be able to expand his influence and his family's influence in the Scattered Tower Forest without a care in the world.
"Congratulations, Elder Grimm! From today onwards, we are a family … "
Mirva's old face was full of smiles as he 'sincerely' congratulated Grimm.
Grimm could only return the greeting with a smile.
