The Sorcerer World, the Northern Witch Territory.
Naio Valley.
The Dark Witch Clan's Tower of Origin – the location of the Black Secret Realm.
Everything in the valley was still so dark and gloomy, all the animals and plants were shrouded in a layer of hazy and illusory strange shadows, gray and lifeless.
And on the tall Tower of Origin, a fierce quarrel was going on.
In a dark secret room, three black figures were confronting each other coldly, looking at each other with swords drawn.
"Circe, although you're the clan leader, it doesn't mean that you have all the power in the clan!" An unusually old and hoarse voice from the black figure on the left said, "What's going on with Shani? Where's the Shadow Pearl? These … If you don't give me an explanation today, our sisters in the Dark Tribe won't listen to the orders of the headquarters anymore! "
And on the right, an equally hoarse voice also sounded at the right time.
"That's right, Circe, a Level 4 sister is gone just like that, you have to give us an explanation!"
The black figure surrounded by the two was quite tall and slender, but her tone was particularly cold and fierce.
"Elders, I'm the one who gave the order to Shani, and I'm also the one who asked her to participate in the mission of the Arcane Kingdom. If you have any questions, just ask me!"
Seeing that Circe was so resolute, the two elders of the Dark Tribe couldn't help but soften their tone a little.
Finally, the elder of the Dark Tribe on the left spoke again.
"You're our leader, and naturally you have the right to mobilize all the witches and resources in the Black Secret Realm. But we want to know, with Shani's strength, why did she fall in the Morian Plane? You sent her … really just to carry out a simple infiltration mission? "
Circe was silent for a moment.
"I sent Shani to participate in this mission, ostensibly for the Arcane Kingdom, but in fact … it was to take the opportunity to kill one of the mission participants."
"Who?"
"Grimm, a Level 4 Fire Wizard from the scattered Tower Forest!"
The two elders looked at each other and nodded silently. Obviously, they were familiar with Grimm.
"That Grim is just a newly promoted Fire Wizard, but Shani has already reached the Intermediate Tier 4. You also gave her the Shadow Orb before we set off. Why did you fail the mission? Did she die at the hands of those Arcanists or at the hands of Grim? "
Circe could not help but fall silent again. After a while, he said sadly, "The Morian Plane has been completely destroyed. Even if we send the Wise Lady Elsa to infiltrate it to find the cause of death, I'm afraid we won't get any results."
"So we're just going to let Shani die in vain? Moreover, the Shadow Pearl did not return smoothly. This will have an extremely detrimental effect on the subsequent fusion of our black secret realm and the Shadow Kingdom. What are you going to do? "
"Shani's death must have something to do with Grim, I will find him for revenge. The Shadow Orb is definitely with him. I'll take it back when the time comes! "Circe said coldly.
"In what name? Don't forget that Grim is now an elder of the scattered Tallinn Association. Without any evidence, it will be difficult for us to deal with him. Do you want to cause a head-on conflict between the Dark Witches and the scattered Tallinn Association? "The elder of the Dark Department interrupted her coldly.
"Let's find evidence first!" Another Elder Sorcerer sighed and said, "Didn't they also have Sorcerers from the Silver Alliance in their group? Let's start with him first and see if we can get direct evidence that Grim killed Shani. With the evidence, we can propose a motion in the Witch Council to mobilize the entire Northern Witches to kill Grim. Presumably, those old foxes in the scattered Tallinn Association won't dare to go against all of us Northern Witches, right? "
"Understood! I'll immediately arrange for someone to contact that Wizard from the Silver Alliance … "Circe thought for a moment and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Also, what you did this time was really reckless!" The elder couldn't help but lament again. "In the situation where you don't know the true strength of the other party, you sent your own sister out, and even lost our holy relic, the Shadow Pearl. If you haven't found the Shadow Pearl before the next clan meeting, I will suggest to Lady Marvina that you be stripped of your position as chief! "
"Seconded! I also agree with elder Jacquido's suggestion. Circe, you've been in the position of chief for too long. It's time for someone else to replace you. Otherwise, wouldn't the entire Dark Witches Headquarters be ruled by the Akara Family? "
As a rank 4 Dark Witch, Circe was the chief and chief of the Dark Witches. Naturally, she had the greatest authority over all the witches and the family's resources.
Claudia, the elder of the Dark Witches Division, held great authority over the Dark Witches' assassination division. Those were all elite witches selected from the Dark Witches Headquarters who were skilled in assassination and sneak attacks. As the leader of the Dark Witches Division, Claudia's authority was not much less than Circe's.
Jacquido, the elder of the Beast Division, was in charge of concocting and nurturing shadow servants. She specialized in creating a powerful shadow army for the Dark Witches, so naturally, she had great authority.
The dead Shani was an elder of the Wizard Division, and was usually mainly responsible for the research of shadow magic and the cultivation of new witches. As Shani was also born in the Akara Family and was a descendant of Leader Circe's family, she obeyed the patriarch's words, which led to this unexpected disaster.
As for the Lady Marvina that Jacquido mentioned, she was a rank 6 Dark Witch. As she was stationed in the Outland all year round, she could only remotely manage the affairs of the Dark Witches within the Sorcerer World through the Clan Affairs Conference that was held once every century.
Hearing the two elders' blatant threats, Leader Circe could not help but turn ashen, but there was nothing she could do about it.
At the rank of rank 4, even as the chief and chief, she did not have as much control over them as she had imagined. The death of a rank 4 Dark Witch could be a big or small matter. Even if the other party reported it to the Clan Affairs Conference, it was unlikely that Circe would be implicated.
However, the Shadow Orb was different!
The rank 5 Shadow Orb was a sacred darkness artifact passed down by the Great Witch of the Dark Witches. It played an irreplaceable role in the Dark Witches Clan. If it were to be lost in her hands, no matter how much Lady Marvina doted on her, she would not be able to protect her position and identity as the chief.
The next Clan Affairs Conference would be held in seven years, which meant that the other party had only given Circe seven years to deal with this thorny matter!
"I know what to do. Don't worry, everything will be resolved before the Clan Affairs Conference! "
After throwing a few harsh words, Circe turned into a cloud of mist and blended into the shadow behind her, disappearing without a trace from the secret room.
The two Witch Elders glanced at each other, sighed, and left one after another.
… …
The Magus World, the distant East Coast.
This was the base of the great Magus Association, and it was the ideal home for tens of thousands of Magi.
There were Magus Towers that were as dense as a forest, a vast and fertile Magus Nation, a large number of Magi communities, and countless Magi resources …
Compared to the other major factions, the Magus Association was the only orthodox Magus organization in the Magus World. The Silver Alliance was more like a group of business-minded Arcane Sorcerers and Mechanical Sorcerers. The Northern Witches, on the other hand, were a group of witches with ancient bloodlines that were more united and exclusive.
As for the scattered Pagoda Forest Association, it was too loose and did not have any effective restraints on high-level Magi. It could only be classified as a second-rate Magus organization, and could not be compared to the three major factions.
In the territory of the Magus Association, the most famous building was the Seven Ring High Tower.
Seven top-notch towers were constructed according to some kind of abstruse and mysterious spell formation. Then, they were connected by numerous spell altars and buildings, forming an unusually large spell formation system.
Using the top-notch Wizard Towers as the nodes of the Spell Formation, and the tens of thousands of miles of land under their feet as the foundation of the Spell Formation, such a layout, foresight, and extravagance could only be achieved by great Wizards who could destroy the world with a wave of their hands.
At this moment, in one of the inner halls of the Seven Ring High Tower, a new hearing was being held.
Chairman Laoyes sat behind his slightly old mahogany round table, listening to a black-robed Wizard report on the death of Wizard Mangus in front of him. He used a low and calm voice to ask some questions that interested him.
Chairman Laoyes was also a level 4 Wizard. His face was full of wrinkles, and his hair was white. The black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose gave him the elegance, knowledge, and wisdom of a high-level Wizard.
On the other side of the hall, behind a tall wooden fence, there were a few dozen Wizards sitting on wooden chairs, their faces full of anxiety and nervousness, waiting for the final verdict of the chairman.
"So you're saying that Wizard Mangus can't be any more dead. Not even a fragment of his soul can be found?" Chairman Lloyd asked the rank 3 wizard who was sent out to investigate in a leisurely manner.
"Yes, sir."
"How did he die?"
"We've personally visited the Wizards who returned with Lord Mangus. According to their memories, Lord Mangus was still normal before returning from the Morian Plane, but he suddenly went crazy during the teleportation. It seemed like he wanted to kill a fellow traveler by self-destructing. This has already been confirmed by more than three rank 4 Magi … "
"Who was the person he wanted to kill?"
"It was a new Fire Wizard called Grim. He belonged to the scattered Pagoda Forest Association, and was assigned to the same team as Lord Mangus."
"Is there enmity between them?"
