"My Lady, all the representatives have arrived and are waiting for your arrival!"
The door at the far end of the hall opened, and the other leader of the Crimson Family, Meryl, walked in wearing a soft silk robe that fitted her body. She bowed behind Mary.
In the past, they were good sisters who could talk about anything. However, as Mary's strength increased, the huge gap between them caused their relationship to become one of superior and subordinate.
With the Crimson Family's high quality resources, it was not a problem to push Meryl and Emelia to the throne of Grade 4 Magi. However, the family's power could only stop there. Every small step beyond Grade 4 was extremely difficult and long, and it was not something that could be achieved with just the accumulation of resources.
The two prideful women were obviously full of confidence in themselves. Hence, while they were busy with the complicated affairs of the family, they squeezed out time to train and enrich themselves.
Although their ranks were not high, Meryl was only at the High Grade 3, and Emelia was only at the Mid Grade 3. However, their future potential was very impressive.
At the very least, they were confident that they could advance to Grade 4 with their own strength!
This was also a way for them to achieve greater things in the future.
According to past information, Magi who advanced to Grade 4 with their own strength had a chance of climbing to the peak. For those who relied on resources, it would be a miracle if they could reach the Mid Grade 4 in their lifetime.
"Since it's time, let's go down together!" Mary retracted her gaze and turned around to look at the two women. She nodded slightly and took the lead to walk out of the hall.
The people waiting outside the hall were the higher-ups of the Crimson Family.
Standing at the very front was the Great Sage Goblin Kirby. He was less than a meter tall and wore an exquisite suit. As the Elder Goblin who had followed Grimm for the longest, he had lived for more than 300 years. In human terms, he was more than 800 years old. He had created the record for the longest life span of the Goblin Race.
Although he had the support of many high-quality resources, Kirby's strength was still stuck at the High Grade 2. As a result, he was nearing the limit of his life and was rapidly aging.
But even so, on this important day, it still wore the gorgeous dress that represented its highest honor and rushed to bow in front of Mary.
"Congratulations, Master … Congratulations, Master … Kirby sends his regards!"
If not for the two young Gnome maidservants supporting him, Kabi would have fallen to the ground with his waist bent at a 90-degree angle.
Mary swept her gaze past its body, and then she sighed and nodded slightly. Then, with a wave of her hand, a wave of blood energy poured into Kabi's body.
At once Cabbie's spirits improved visibly.
"Just do what you can! Take care of yourself … "Mary stopped in her tracks and gave a few reminders, before turning to look behind Kirby," Locke, take care of Kirby today. Don't let him get too excited. "
After saying that, Mary started walking again.
Locke was now a Grade 3 Intermediate Crimson Magus, and his position in the family had even surpassed Kabi and the other goblin nobles.
After listening to Mary's instructions, he waved his hand to chase away the two Gnome maids and supported Kabi as he followed behind the domineering Mistress. Of course, they were ranked behind Meryl and Emelia.
The higher-ups of the Crimson Magi who had been scattered in various corners gathered together, bowing to Mary before joining the group.
Blood Knight Soros, Cloning Brain Sauk, Bug Lich Bliss, Blood Knight Winsal, Blood Elf Wizard Isa, Blood Elf Archer Leia, Ice Maiden Cheff, Berserk Witch Sofia, Forest Demon Ava, Old Fox Wenlier, Violent Blood Group Leader Dusila Lasalle, Dragonman Zacha …
After all these years of development, the number of Grade 2 and Grade 3 Magi in the Crimson Magi had increased to over three hundred. The Magi who held the positions of the higher-ups of the Crimson Magi had also been replaced by a new batch of Magi. However, the elders before Mary still held a considerable position in her eyes.
However, with the passage of time, some of the Crimson Elders had already withered away. The Demonized Goblin Leader Gonga, Goblin Tigula, Medusa, Manticore Leader Dhaka, and Wind Wizard Deselar were nowhere to be seen.
They had either died of old age, died in explorations to other worlds, or died in Wizard Experiments. They had disappeared forever.
The banquet hall was located on the seventh level of the Wizard's Pagoda.
When Mary led the higher-ups of the Crimson Magi into the hall, thunderous applause and cheers immediately rang out.
The Magi from the Crimson Magi crowded on both ends of the red carpet, clapping and cheering loudly. When the well-dressed Mary walked in front of them, they all put their hands on their chests and bowed in greeting, their faces brimming with happiness and pride.
As she walked through the crowd, Mary nodded to both sides in greeting.
Those who could enter the main hall of the banquet were the elders who had followed the Crimson Magi for a long time or the freshmen of the academy. Even though most of them had never seen the legendary Blood Queen Mary before, it did not stop them from cheering for themselves, their families, and the bright future of the academy.
Mixed in with the crowd were a group of strange faces from the secondary plane. Among them were humanoid giants, Dark Elves, Beastmen, Trolls, Redstone Dwarves, and Gnomes. There were also strange-looking Light Men, Flower Elves, Stonewalkers, and Draconians.
Light Men were a strange race that fed on light. Their flesh and skin were formed by the condensation of light elements. They were practically natural-born Light Spellcasters, able to freely use all kinds of Light Abilities.
Furthermore, Light Abilities had many additional abilities in terms of Illusion and Healing.
Flower Elves were not Flower Fairies. Even though they had similar names, they were two completely different magical creatures. Flower Elves had green bodies and two pairs of thin cicada wings on their backs. Even though they were only about half a meter tall, they had extremely savage personalities. Their claws and teeth contained poison, and their flying speed was also rather fast.
Thus, as scouts or assassins, Flower Elves were also a type of magical creature that was rather difficult to deal with!
Stonewalkers were a strange life form that was between life and Earth Elemental. The plane they resided in was made up of undulating mountain ranges and hills. It was rare to see the existence of water, fire, and green plants.
Stonewalkers were born with the ability to travel underground. They also grasped quite a few Earth Abilities. They were good at prospecting and ambushing!
Draconians were the descendants of the bloodline of the Dragon Clan and humans or other human-like races. Those who inherited the might of the Dragon Clan's bloodline from their father would awaken the corresponding bloodline ability.
Even though it was difficult to nurture these Draconians into high-ranked ones, they were natural Magic Warriors that cultivated both magic and martial arts. Once they were integrated into an army, they would be a decent assault and meat shield unit.
As for the outstanding ones among the Draconians, they were the best candidates for high-ranked Magi to recruit as fighters or bodyguards.
After all, the loyalty of the Draconians was well known!
Of course, other than that, Mary also saw a few strange and indescribable fellows among the welcoming crowd. For example, a Magus that looked like a Sludge Monster, a Centaur Magus, and a Magus that looked like a Sunflower that could walk freely …
It had to be said that after the introduction of foreign students from the Secondary Plane, the gene bank of the Horton Witchcraft Academy was greatly replenished.
After passing through the crowd, Mary stepped onto a large platform with ten steps. There were already many representatives from all over the world waiting for her.
Mary swept her gaze across the crowd and saw the Grade 4 Lightning Lord Armes in his human form. Beside him was the Emerald Dragon Eredina, who had also transformed into a beautiful young lady.
Behind them, ten bareheaded, green-skinned burly men were gathered together, pointing at the various enchantments on the walls and ceiling of the banquet hall. They seemed to be drooling with desire.
Mary didn't even need to get close to them. She could tell from their aura that they were Grade 1 or 2 Green Dragons that had used transformation and camouflage spells.
When Armes saw Mary, his coarse voice immediately shook the heavens.
"Mary, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you with my brothers for a long time …"
Mary furrowed her brows and focused her gaze. An awe-inspiring and inviolable aura quietly spread throughout the hall.
Armes' face immediately stiffened. Eredina, who was behind him, quickly stepped forward and pulled his arm to bow to Mary.
The ten Green Dragons in human form also hurriedly bowed to Mary.
"Armes, I'm glad you're here. Come with me!" Mary smiled and walked past Armes.
Armes scratched his head in annoyance and asked Eredina in a low voice, "Did I say something wrong again?"
Eredina rolled her eyes at him and said in a low voice, "All human wizards care about their dignity. You must show Lady Mary enough respect!"
"Respect …" Armes' face immediately fell. He said angrily, "She can't even defeat me. Why should I respect her? Hmph, if it wasn't for Lord Grim, I would've … "
"I what I, hurry up and shut up for me. You're not allowed to talk nonsense today! " Although Eredina was only a Grade 3 Green Dragon, she was smart enough to know more about wizards than Armes. She could only use this method to prevent him from making mistakes.
After walking past Armes, Mary walked straight to a corner of the platform.
There, a large group of black-robed necromancers had gathered around the famous Undead Lich Congnus.
