Once the news of the Entom Family's destruction spread, the entire Scattered Tower Forest was shaken.
The central forces that had once colluded with Fred to suppress the Crimson Family were all in a constant state of anxiety. They were afraid that they would wake up one day and see the Crimson Fleet strutting around in their field of vision.
What made them feel even more hopeless was that on the second day after the Entom Family's destruction, the Fabris Family announced that they would accept the Crimson Family's leadership and willingly become their subsidiary. They also sent a large number of Magi from their family to join the newly established Horton Academy.
These Sorcerers had all terminated their service contracts with the Fabris Family before they came, and joined the Horton Academy as independent Sorcerers. This kind of blatant action completely showed the intentions of the rank 4 Refinement Magus, Fabris!
Following the Fabris Family, Sorceress Clara of the Randner Family made a similar announcement and also selected a few Magi from the family to join the Horton Academy as free members.
This was not the end!
Soon after, a third force also made their stand.
This third force was the Molten City that everyone knew about.
All these years, the Molten City had maintained a good relationship with the Crimson Family. The resource trade agreement between the two had greatly benefited both parties.
The Crimson Family had obtained the irreplaceable Quelas Alloy, while the Molten City had obtained an endless supply of high-grade dragon grade materials.
Both parties were willing to fight, and the other was willing to suffer. The relationship was unbreakable. Even though Fred had promised the city lord Alfred many benefits, he was unable to pull him into the war against the Crimson Family.
Now, the trend of the Crimson Family unifying the central region was so obvious. The city lord Alfred, who had already assessed the situation, naturally knew what he should choose.
Hence, while many Magus families were still hesitating and observing, the Molten City had already become the third subsidiary force that had officially pledged allegiance to the Crimson Family.
The world was about to change!
In the past, only high-ranked Magi with a keen sense of smell would be able to faintly sense this powerful force that was rapidly changing the central region. But now, as long as one was not blind or deaf, they would be able to feel a strong gust of wind blowing towards them.
Three large Magus families successively pledged allegiance to the Crimson Family. This became the most obvious direction, completely showing the future development of the central continent.
Crimson … Horton …
These two terms had also become the hottest terms in the central region!
As long as it was a place where sorcerers gathered, these two words would be the most debated and discussed topic. They had already become symbols of some mysterious color and power, representing the future direction of power of the central continent.
However, there were 33 regions in the central continent, with more than a dozen rank 4 organisations and close to a thousand low-ranked Magus families and small to medium-sized organisations. It was easier said than done to unify such a large and complicated region and establish an effective and large Sorcerer organization.
Putting everything else aside, there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the many small and medium-sized Magus clans. If they were not careful, they could offend an old monster who had lived in the outer realm for thousands of years.
For example, the Salubo Family.
The Salubo Family had Feldenan City as their headquarters, occupying no more than three to four hundred square kilometers of land and having less than a hundred wizards in the family. Intermediate Wizard families like this could be found everywhere in the central continent. They were nothing special at all.
However, if the Crimson Family wanted to flatten the headquarters of the Sarubo Family, they would have to offend the remaining Great Magus Sarubo.
He was in the outer realm and could not return to the Magus World personally.
However, if this Great Magus was angered, he could cause trouble for Grimm and plot against the Crimson Family's businesses in the outer realm. Even if Grimm could dominate the central continent, he would have to bear the risk of having his businesses in the outer realm destroyed.
Moreover, with Grimm's speed of development, it was only a matter of time before he reached the outer realm. If these small and medium-sized Magus families were all wiped out in one fell swoop, the day Grimm stepped out of the outer realm would be the day the enemies of the great Magi would come knocking on his door!
Even Grimm's heart palpitated at the thought of a group of great Magi waiting in the outer realm to skin him alive.
It was precisely because this kind of forceful annexation was undesirable that Grimm had no choice but to take a roundabout route and use the Horton Sorcerer Academy to seize control of the central continent.
I won't use the Crimson Family's method to annex you. Everyone will compete 'fairly' and use the excellent teaching environment, abundant resources, and powerful teachers to absorb the talents of the central continent.
This way, the Horton Sorcerer Academy would only grow stronger and stronger.
The families left behind by the great Magi would not be able to attract new blood and would not be able to expand on their own. This way, the great Magi would not be able to blame Grimm.
In short, the descendants of the great Magi could die, but not at the hands of the Crimson Family.
It was because of this that Grimm gave up on the Crimson Family and set up the Horton Sorcerer Academy!
It couldn't be helped. He didn't want to become a street rat in the future and be stalked by those great wizards every day.
To be honest, if it was not for the Grade 6 Great Magus Salubo, the Salubo Family that he had a conflict with in the past would have been uprooted long ago.
Everything was also caused by the multiplication of cause and effect!
On the surface, these Magus Families with the support of great Magi were a huge burden for the Crimson Family to unify the central continent. They were all people that Grimm did not dare to touch. However, on the other hand, they could also be used as a resource for Grimm's connections.
If those great wizards in the outer realms were willing to build a good relationship with Grimm, he wouldn't mind nurturing some of their bloodline descendants. If the other party pressured him too much, Grimm could completely destroy their bloodline and cut off their last connection with the Sorcerer World.
As for why the descendants of the great Magi would gradually decline … This was a curse that had been difficult to break since ancient times in the Sorcerer World!
First, it was difficult to give birth.
Those who were able to become great Magi were all inhuman. They might still have traces of humanoid appearance, but if their chests and lungs were to be pried open, it would be almost impossible to find any life factors or organs similar to humans.
The super Magi had already walked too far on the path of transformation and mutation … Even the life essence of these monsters had already mutated into a strange existence. How could there be a human woman who could mate with them and give birth to a normal human child?
Normal women and even low-grade Magi could not withstand the life essence of the great Magi. Once such life essence was implanted into their bodies, they would be killed in the shortest time possible.
If a man and a woman who were great Magi wanted to mate, the probability of giving birth to a normal human child was extremely low!
Therefore, the descendants of the great Magi in the Sorcerer World were mostly the flesh and blood left behind in the early stages of their growth. After thousands of years of inheritance, the similarity between these descendants and the great Magi's bloodline was so thin that it was difficult to distinguish them.
Moreover, the more powerful the magic creature, the weaker the ability to give birth to normal descendants!
Therefore, although they carried the title of the great Magi's bloodline descendants, which sounded very glorious, in reality, most of them had already declined and withered. Even the great Magi who passed down the bloodline might not be willing to acknowledge these low-grade life forms.
Second, it was difficult to pass down the bloodline.
Those who could become great Magi were all once favored by the heavens and geniuses. The path they took was often not replicable.
This was also the main reason why after a great Magi was born in a Magus family, the latter did not have an endless stream of successors!
It was not that he did not want to, but he could not do it.
The great Magi themselves might have used some rare resources that were almost extinct, or rare treasures that were hard to find, to cross the threshold of the bloodline. As for these juniors, where could they find resources to let them walk on their own path!
The appearance of every great Magi gave the juniors a possibility to learn from, but it was only a reference. Very few successors could follow the successful examples of the others and step into the ranks of the great Magi.
One of the main reasons for this was that all great Magi were very secretive about their abilities and methods of advancement, and would not announce it to the public.
They were worried that their enemies would use this information to launch targeted attacks, so they would hide the truly important and precious things in their personal development. Without these things, the information released by the great Magi to the public would not be as safe, and it would be very misleading.
If other people wanted to advance according to their methods, they would definitely suffer and lose their lives.
For example, if Grim could advance to Grade 5 in the future, the greatest contribution would definitely be the Divine Fire Orb. But where could he find a second Divine Fire Bead for his disciple or successor?!
Therefore, when one reached Grade 4, there was only a vague direction for their future development. There was no longer a fixed path that could be used as a reference and follow!
Following the destruction of the Entom Family, the situation in the central continent could be described as turbulent and turbulent.
At this moment, everyone was forced to choose a side and pick a side!
They could either join the ranks of the 'rebels' and join forces to fight against the Crimson Family, or bow their heads and admit the Crimson Family's actual rule over the scattered towers … They were not willing to choose either of these two options.
That was why, while the Crimson Fleet was still hovering over the ruins of the House of Entom and its movements were unknown, many envoys from various factions of the scattered towers had already rushed there, eager to discuss matters of partnership with the ruler of the Crimson!
