The celebratory banquet was held at Alice's residence.
Apart from the Magi and acolytes from Grim's faction, there were also many elite acolytes from other Magi. Most of them had excellent personal friendships with Kedar, Am, and the others.
It had to be said that Grim's personality was extremely easygoing. Under his leadership, the atmosphere within the entire faction was rather harmonious and natural. The two Magi he had nurtured were also known as the Magi with the least airs of arrogance.
As a Magus who taught public lessons in the Magus Tower, Meryl had interacted with almost all the acolytes in the family, so she was known as the most amiable beautiful Magus. Alice, on the other hand, did not have the slightest awareness of becoming a Magus. She hung out with her acolytes all day long.
In these few years, Alice's footsteps had covered the mountains and rivers around the Scattered Tower Forest area. Wherever there were monsters and ruins, she would bring a group of acolytes and kill them without saying a word.
With the spider puppet beast protecting her, the Inferno Tyrant acting as a fighter, and her all-pervasive divination skills, no matter what kind of prey was targeted by her, they would not be able to escape. Moreover, with divination skills, Alice was also quite good at seeking fortune and avoiding calamity. She could always avoid unknown disasters and traps as if she had the help of the gods.
This also made traveling with her the safest and most pleasant thing to do.
Every time they went on an adventure, Alice could always use her little platinum hammer to divine whether there were any risks and where the risks were. Therefore, the acolytes who went with her only needed to prepare everything according to her instructions. Dangers that were beyond their ability to withstand would always pass them by, and those that could reach them would always be those that they could handle.
Every time they went on an adventure, the danger was not great, and they could always gain something.
More importantly, Alice was a "little rich lady", and did not care about most of the gains from battles. After every successful adventure, she only took a very small number of items that were helpful to her. As for the rest, they naturally became the possessions of the acolytes.
Relying on this magical ability and generous methods, Alice very quickly gathered a group of acolyte-level "believers" and "fans".
Therefore, every time Alice came to the mission hall in high spirits and waved her hand to recruit team members, all the acolytes in the wizard tower would fight for a spot.
Therefore, while most wizards were busy collecting resources and accumulating knowledge, Alice was leading a group of acolytes to explore almost all the ruins and danger zones in the scattered Tallinn region.
There were still dangerous and forbidden areas left, but most of them were beyond the level of a normal wizard, so Alice could not get a wizard to help her, so she could only give up.
Because of Alice and Meryl's unparalleled rallying power among the apprentices, when Alice held a celebration feast in her residence, all the elite apprentices with a bit of fame in the Wizard Tower came.
The banquet officially started at 8 pm.
Unlike ordinary noble banquets, there were no gorgeously dressed maids here, nor was there a band playing cheerful music. Only a huge long table was set up in a corner of the banquet hall, filled with all kinds of fine wine and delicacies. There were also some small plates on the side for the banquet staff to take as they pleased.
What was left was the spacious banquet hall. Everyone gathered in groups of three to five, either exchanging information and resources, or simply chatting.
The whole banquet was relaxed and cheerful!
The host of the banquet was, of course, the most famous goblin merchant in Grim's faction, Kabi.
Not only did he sponsor all the wine and food for the banquet, but he also specially brought a large number of the most sought-after acolytes and held a small internal auction in a corner of the hall.
In the past few years, Grim had rarely appeared in public. He stayed in his house all year round, no one knew what he was doing. Following his disappearance, the Goblin Kabi became more active day by day.
Relying on Grim's influence, the goblin Kabi almost monopolized the low-grade material market and the supply of acolyte resources in Fedenan City. Moreover, he could always get his hands on some strange magic machinery and strange alchemy items that were hard to find in the outside world, so his goblin shop grew bigger and bigger.
In the area where Fedenan City was located, the goblin Kabi's name was getting more and more famous, to the point that even the surrounding regions were starting to hear about him.
Of course, the goblin Kabi knew his position very well.
As a green-skinned goblin, he actually had no status in this human society that was dominated by wizards. The reason why he was able to climb to his current height was because of the terrifying fire demon that stood behind him.
Without Grim's backing, a green-skinned goblin like him would be captured by wizards in a matter of minutes and become the most miserable and insignificant test subject.
Therefore, after understanding his position, Kirby used his clever mind to consolidate and manage his small circle of friends.
This small circle was built with the few wizard apprentices under Grim as the core.
He did not hesitate to sell the necessary resources to Kodar, Meryl, Amu, and the others at extremely low prices, using this method to exchange for their support and protection of his goblin shop. After Meryl successfully advanced to become a Sorcerer, she reaped the most generous rewards.
While Grim was busy and Alice was busy, with Wizard Meryl supporting him, Kodar, and Amu supporting him, the goblin Kabi's business became more and more successful.
To put it bluntly, there were now more than 20 wizard apprentices working under Kabi in the wizard tower. Among them, Kabi could dispatch as many as seven high-grade apprentices at any time. There were also countless apprentices who maintained a good relationship with him!
Kabi wasn't the little Gnome that could be bullied by anyone in the past.
If anyone dared to anger the great goblin merchant Kabi, he could summon more than ten wizard apprentices to fight for him with a wave of his hand. If this still could not be settled, he could still summon two wizards and seven or eight elite apprentices. If this still did not work, Kabi could only resort to his ultimate move and complain to Grim.
And the name of the Fire Demon was known to everyone in the Ferdinand region!
As the banquet progressed, the venue was quickly divided into three small circles that represented different levels. Although every small circle didn't have those bad rules and bad habits that kept people thousands of miles away, who should stay in which circle was like an invisible shackle that bound everyone to their own position.
The ones who had the highest authority were the two wizards, Alice and Meryl, as well as a few elite apprentices in the core circle. They gathered in a corner of the banquet, holding fragrant light red wine in their hands, and raised their glasses to congratulate Alice.
Alice, on the other hand, drank it in one gulp with a proud look on her face!
This circle included the few core members who were closest to Grim, and they were also the most important military force in Grim's faction.
Grim hid in his residence every day and did not take a step out, obsessed with the pursuit of ultimate power. With the resources he had accumulated, he did not care about the distribution of resources and benefits within the Sarubo family, but his apprentices had to care.
Therefore, they joined forces and roped in Alice and Meryl as their backers. As a result, they naturally became one of the more powerful factions within the Salubo Family.
This circle was so tightly connected, and their combat power was so strong that it left people speechless!
The fire demon Grim, the violent Alice, and the gentle Meryl … These three were so tightly tied together that even a grade 2 wizard, Forgan, did not dare to underestimate them.
Therefore, with the rise of the tide, Grimm's faction would naturally have a great advantage in the distribution of benefits and resources within the family.
The second small circle in the banquet was made up of the elite apprentices of the various wizards.
Most of them were quasi wizards, but there were one or two high-ranked apprentices who had their own special skills. They were the kind of people who could not be ignored no matter where they went.
Although they did not belong to Grim's faction, they had some way to maintain good relationships with the people in Grim's faction. Apart from official Magi, these people were undoubtedly the most powerful and influential group of people in the Salubo family.
Although they were still apprentices, they all had the potential to become Sorcerers, so none of them could be underestimated.
There were many cases of enemies disappearing after they accidentally advanced to become Magi due to conflicts during the apprenticeship period. That was why apprentices nowadays were extremely tactful and did not want to provoke a quasi wizard easily. At least on the surface, everyone was good to each other, which made them seem rather united and harmonious.
The third circle was made up of the largest group of people in each Magus family, the high-ranked apprentices.
Taking the Sarubo family as an example, the number of official Magi was only in the double digits. Most of them had to be stationed at various resource points and important bases, so there were not many active Magi in Ferdenan City.
The ones who were second only to the Magi were the quasi wizards.
Although there were more of them, there was still a limit to their numbers.
There were only about 20 to 30 quasi wizards in the Sarubo family, and they were also the group that the family was most willing to nurture. Any one of them who successfully advanced to become a Magus would soar to the heavens and become a big shot who did not have to worry about food and water, and had plenty of resources.
Apart from the Magi and quasi wizards, the ones who supported the ruling framework of every Magus family were the high-ranked apprentices.
Most of the acolytes sent to the headquarters from resource points and family encampments in various regions were high-level acolytes. Even if there were low-ranked apprentices, most of them had special talents in enchantment, herbology, alchemy, and so on.
