Just as Grim had predicted, the appearance of the Horton Sorcerer Academy caused an uproar in the central continent.
There had never been a Sorcerer Academy that could gather so many high-grade sorcerers and powerful creatures from other planes. There had never been a Sorcerer Academy that could spread its learning and training grounds across more than ten Secondary Planes. There had never been a Sorcerer Academy that could recruit students from the outside world without any restrictions.
Therefore, when the list of Horton Sorcerer Academy's teachers was made public, the entire Scattered Tower Forest, and even the central continent, were in an uproar.
There were no restrictions on race, gender, lineage, or quota. There were no restrictions on high-grade knowledge and Magus resources. There was no discrimination. There were excellent and excellent Magus facilities. There were also many illustrious and dazzling mentors.
The Horton Sorcerer Academy borrowed from the Sorcerer Association's training model. Instead of focusing on the family's sorcerers, it opened up the Crimson Family's high-quality resources to the outside world. It was similar to a public welfare Sorcerer Academy.
This allowed the Horton Sorcerer Academy to take root in the Crimson Family, but it was not part of the family's system. It became a strange melting pot that nurtured free sorcerers.
From the first day of school, the Horton Sorcerer Academy did not care about the background of the students. Even if they were from other sorcerer families, the academy would accept them and provide them with basic resources in a fair and open manner.
As long as you had magic crystals and were willing to stay in the Horton Sorcerer Academy, the door would always be open for you.
There were no service contracts, no compulsory missions, no discrimination based on bloodline, no discrimination based on status … There was no discrimination, and you could come and go as you pleased.
And this was undoubtedly the most attractive part of it!
Most of the sorcerer families in the central continent did not have good living conditions.
Apart from a few sorcerer families that could conquer other planes and plunder vast amounts of resources, most sorcerer families were lucky to have a Secondary Plane that could provide them with magic crystals and resources.
The scarce resources in the family had to be given to the powerful or talented people. Normal sorcerers and acolytes were in a difficult situation.
The majority of the normal sorcerers and acolytes wanted to obtain some resources, but they could only bite the bullet and trade with the sorcerer families. The terms of the trade were either a service contract for a certain period of time, or they had to step into the plane battlefield and conquer other planes …
Either he sold his body, or he sold his life. There was no other way.
After all, all the Magus resources had been monopolized by Magus families of all sizes!
But now, the appearance of the Horton Witchcraft Academy provided them with a new option.
For those wandering wizards or independent wizards, they could go to the academy and become a teacher. They could teach public classes, refine potions, write scrolls, craft wizard beasts, puppets, etc. They could earn the corresponding magic crystals as a reward. Then, they could use these rewards to buy high-level knowledge that was open to the public.
Since they were free, they could come and go as they pleased. They didn't need to be restrained or controlled by anyone or any organization, so their lives weren't in danger. Furthermore, as mentors of the academy, they could enjoy a certain amount of free witchcraft facilities.
For those independent Magi who had accumulated a large amount of magic materials but had no place to deal with them, this was a great thing!
Furthermore, the Crimson Family was wealthy, and the core Wizard Pagoda of the Horton Wizard Academy was also top-notch. The Witchcraft facilities inside were complete and exquisite. Even in the central continent, they were the best.
At the very least, the smaller Wizard Academies in various regions couldn't compare to the Horton Witchcraft Academy in terms of wealth, resources, and manpower. Hence, when the independent Magi and acolytes heard of such good conditions, they all rushed to Ironforest City.
In less than half a year, Iron Forest City was forced to go through three expansions. The permanent population also skyrocketed from 6,000 to 120,000.
This nameless little city at the edge of the Elovis region had become the most popular large-scale Wizard city in the central continent because of its proximity to the Horton Witchcraft Academy.
… …
Ferde South City, Salubo Family's base.
Amu, who was wearing a gray wizard robe, passed through a silent and dark magic tunnel. He passed through a membrane of light that shone with a faint magic glow, and arrived at the public passage of the Spell District.
In front of him was a rather wide stone passage. Apprentices of the family in twos and threes were holding books in their hands, walking quickly towards the learning hall. Wizard Amu's public curses class was only 3 minutes away, so the apprentices who arrived late had to speed up. They didn't want to miss this once a week free class.
As the teacher of this class, Amu would also receive a certain amount of magic crystals and mission points from the family to support his expensive witchcraft experiments that were close to bankruptcy.
However, when Wizard Amu arrived at the entrance of the learning hall, he was surprised to see 2 male and 1 female apprentice standing at the door, as if they were waiting for his arrival.
Amu hesitated for a moment.
They were all high-level apprentices under his command, and they were the ones with the best aptitude.
Seeing Amu's arrival, the 3 apprentices surrounded him. They looked at each other nervously. Obviously, there were some difficult things that they couldn't talk about.
"What are you guys doing here? The class is about to start. I don't have much time to deal with you guys … Let's talk about it after class! "Amu frowned.
Natalie, the petite female apprentice with freckles on her face, finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"Teacher, we want to say goodbye to you!"
"Goodbye? Are you going on a long journey? " Amu's frown deepened, "Your mental energy has just reached a high level, and you're still far from the level of a Prospective Wizard. Don't be in such a hurry to train …"
"Not to train …"
"Not to train? Then why are you saying goodbye at the same time? Tell me, did something happen to your family? "Amu asked in a low voice.
"Nothing happened to our family. It's just that … We want to leave this place and go to another place to further our studies. The conditions there are very good. Many of our friends in the Wizard's Pagoda have already left! We just want to say goodbye to you before we leave … "
Amu was silent.
His face was a little pale, making him look older and weaker.
These years, he had been living a very depressing and depressing life.
He had been living in the Sarubo Family as a traitor of the Crimson Family. Although the family treated him fairly and took good care of him, many people who knew the inside story laughed at him behind his back.
Even those ant-like sorcerer-apprentices who bumped into him in the hallway would look at him with a look of disdain and sympathy that could not be concealed behind their respectful gazes.
He was one of the first five disciples to follow the legendary Fire Wizard Grimm, and he was the only one among them who had an affinity with fire. He had betrayed his own teacher because of his' loyalty 'to the Sarubo Family …
If Grimm had died just like that, Amu would have become a model example of someone who set things right. He would have been praised by everyone, and his status in the family would have risen significantly. But life was unpredictable … The script of life never seemed to be written according to the thoughts of the weak!
Grimm had been suppressed by the Sarubo Family for so long, but he still managed to rise. What was even more terrifying was that his strength had even surpassed that of the level 3 Witch Sanazar, who ruled the Sarubo Family.
In the battle between the powerhouses of the Tower Forest Association, Sanazar had been humiliated by Grimm and was forced to move to a secondary plane to recuperate. Now, the one who ruled and managed the Sarubo Family was none other than Lady Purple Eye, who was as famous as Sanazar.
However, just as the family was planning to take revenge on Grimm, a terrifying piece of news arrived. Grimm had actually advanced to level 4!
The moment the news spread, the entire Sarubo Family fell into silence.
Level 4 … Level 4 … Level 4 …
In the Sorcerer World, Level 4 was the pinnacle of existence!
If Grimm decided to make things difficult for the Sarubo Family, it would be useless even if the Sarubo Family had the support of a level 6 Great Wizard.
After all, the Great Wizard Sarubo's main body was far away, and he was powerless in the Sorcerer World's internal affairs.
Hence, Amu hid in the Sarubo Family's encampment in fear, not daring to step out of Feldenan City ever again.
Even though he chose to seal himself off, news from afar continued to pour in.
In the past two hundred years, the Crimson Family and the legendary Fire Wizard were the most powerful forces in the central continent.
Every once in a while, there would be the latest explosive news that would set off a wave within the family. However, the news that made Amu grit his teeth the most was that the Red Dragon Witch Meryl had advanced to level 3 …
The night the news spread, Amu smashed everything in his residence and laboratory, got drunk, and lay in the ruins screaming in pain for the whole night.
He had always thought that he no longer cared about what happened in the distant lands. However, after that night, he finally understood that he still cared!
Fortunately, time was the best medicine. Nearly a hundred years of silence and busyness had allowed him to calm down once more, and he became the most hardworking and dedicated level 1 Wizard in the Sarubo Family.
Indeed, more than two hundred years had passed, and Amu's life was mostly over. Even when his appearance and body had deteriorated and aged, he was still an ordinary level 1 Wizard.
Today, he was stopped by three of his disciples who he had personally taught, saying that they wanted to bid him farewell. For some reason, Amu's heart told him that this might be related to that demonic fellow.
A ferocious beast was roaring in Amu's heart …
Amu clenched his teeth and asked gently with a smile.
"Tell me! Where did you guys go … "
Natalie was speechless.
In the end, another male acolyte, Ruthor, mustered up the courage to speak.
"Horton Witchcraft Academy … was established by … the Crimson Family!"
Crimson … It really is the Crimson Family!
It's that accursed name again … Did that demon cast some kind of curse on me? I'll be able to hear that damned name no matter where I hide …
Amu could only feel a roar in his head. The last trace of blood on his face quickly faded, and he tasted a fishy sweetness in his mouth. His body swayed, and he used his hands to support himself against the wall. As the three acolytes screamed in fear, he slowly fell to the ground.
