Grimm, who had turned the entire Elovis region upside down, had appeared again …
Almost within a day, this short piece of news spread through the entire Tower Forest like a plague.
Normally, a Tier 2 Magus would not be able to cause such a huge commotion in the central continent. After all, there were four to five hundred Sorcerer families in the Scattered Tower Forest region. Although rank 2 Sorcerers were not common, there were still more than a thousand of them.
However, he was the first Tier 2 Sorcerer to single-handedly turn the Vampire Family, which had a little bit of fame on the Sorcerer Family Rankings, upside down.
The defeated Vic clan had lost more than half of their members. Even their patriarch, Heiness, had sustained heavy injuries. However, this was not the worst. What was worse was that as the power of the family declined, the surrounding vampire families became restless.
According to the latest news, the three great vampire clans, Amy, Snowden and Moen, had already begun to conspire together. They were prepared to take advantage of the declining strength of the Vic clan to divide them up.
In the southwest region of the scattered Tower Forest, these vampires had already become one with each other behind closed doors. Every day, they would hear of the death of a large number of human dignitaries, as well as the change of ownership of territories or manors.
However, the Vic Family still had one Tier 3 and two Tier 2 Vampires. As long as they gave up the territory in the outer perimeter, defending the Ancient Bloody Castle wouldn't be a problem. However, after experiencing such a storm, it would be difficult for the Vic family to return to their original ranking without a few decades of recuperation.
Therefore, there was no need to doubt that the current Vic family had already marked Grimm and Mary as their targets. As long as there was a chance, the Grade 3 Vampire, Hynes, would be able to kill him. Vic would definitely use the cruelest methods to skin them, fry their bones, and dismember their bodies into thousands of pieces.
Hence, when Heiness, who was in a precarious situation, heard that Grimm had appeared once again and invited the surrounding Magus families to attend the Magus Banquet in the Blazing Flame Monarch, he almost blew his top. After a series of meticulous arrangements and planning, Hennes sneaked out of the Ancient Blood Castle during the night. His whereabouts were unknown.
As for the family's two Tier 2 Vampires, they were left behind in the Ancient Bloody Castle.
There was nothing that could be done about it. The Vic family had already become the biggest piece of beef brisket in everyone's eyes. Once the clan's strength was depleted, it would be difficult for them to defend against the joint attack of the other clans with just the traps and defenses in the Ancient Blood Castle.
…
There were still three days until the date of Grimm's banquet, but the Blazing Flame Monarch's surroundings were already bustling with activity.
A large group of human adventurers, mercenaries, wandering Magi and acolytes had already gathered around the Blazing Flame Monarch and the Blazing Flame Caves. With the Blazing Flame Monarch behind them, there was no need to worry about their safety. They could explore the Dark Forest without worry and harvest the seemingly endless magical creatures and plants.
After opening the flaming caves once more, the Blazing Flame Monarch gave up on her previous attitude of welcoming everyone, and began to perform a strict identity check on those who entered. The Magi and acolytes who had abandoned the tower in the previous battle were blacklisted, and were no longer allowed to appear around the Blazing Flame Monarch.
As for the wandering Wizards and apprentices who had recently arrived, they could only enter the Wizard's Pagoda after passing the inspection. Even though it was difficult to gather enough manpower this way, it also suppressed the unstable factors to a minimum.
In view of Medusa and Charon's performance in the Lance Dimension, Grimm issued an official family order after returning to the Blazing Flame Monarch, accepting their clansmen and subordinates as members of the Wizard's Pagoda.
From then on, the Snake Demons and Chimeras could enjoy the benefits and authority of official members of the Crimson Family. They were no longer wild magical creatures that could be hunted down and killed by humans.
Grimm had also returned from the Lance Dimension with a few of the main forces of the family, as well as a large number of spoils of war.
In order to make a name for the upcoming family meeting, Grimm had even heroically placed the level 2 Wind Dragon he had captured in the Lava Hall. Of course, Grimm had also taken care of the necessary safety precautions.
With the Blazing Flame Monarch's Wizard's Pagoda in a Flame Cage and dozens of Anti-Magic Chains locking the Wind Dragon's body, as well as the level 2 Draconian Zacha's constant supervision, it was impossible for the Wind Dragon to escape.
That way, any guest who had passed through the long Flame Cave and arrived at the Lava Hall would immediately notice the giant dragon locked in a corner of the hall.
It had to be said that the effect of this technique was truly incredible!
The wandering Wizards who had traveled tens of thousands of miles to the Blazing Flame Monarch to join Grimm could sense the power and extravagance of Grimm's backer the moment they saw the ferocious Wind Dragon.
This was a giant dragon!
Moreover, it wasn't just a fledgling or a young Dragon. It was a full-grown Grade 2 Dragon!
After all, in the Sorcerer World, there hadn't been any traces of a giant dragon for thousands of years. During the battle with the Blazing Flame Monarch, the shocking level 3 giant dragon had made all the Wizard families take notice of Grimm's existence.
But now … Grimm had actually placed a level 2 giant dragon at the entrance of the Wizard's Pagoda. Perhaps only those old fellows who had seen the world for a long time would be able to truly understand the meaning behind this.
Just this giant dragon alone was enough to attract the attention and amazement of Grimm!
When the news of the Blazing Flame Monarch having a dragon for auction spread like wildfire, the number of Wizards appearing in the Elobis region increased rapidly in the next few days.
Wizards had many tricks up their sleeves, and they quickly understood why Grimm was in such a hurry to hold a Wizard Banquet.
The Crimson Family!
Grimm, who had made a name for himself, could no longer suppress his restlessness and wanted to establish his own Wizard Family.
The many Wizards in the scattered forest found this news strange, but at the same time, they did not find it strange.
What was not strange was that Grimm wanted to establish a Wizard Family.
With his strength and reputation, leaving his original family to establish his own was within everyone's expectations.
What was strange was the timing of Grimm establishing the Crimson Family.
According to most people's estimates, Grimm would need at least 30 years to accumulate enough power to establish a Wizard Family.
After all, a Wizard Family was a group of Wizards, not a single Wizard.
No matter how powerful Grim was, he could not be considered a member of a Wizard family by himself.
Only by slowly accumulating power, gathering enough manpower, and building a family structure that could develop in a healthy manner could such an organisation be recognized as a Wizard Family.
Hence, when Grimm recklessly announced his plans, the surrounding Wizard Families did not have high hopes for him. However, with the gimmick of auctioning a giant dragon, Grimm still managed to attract enough 'spectators'.
…
The banquet was held in the Lava Hall.
Long wooden tables were placed neatly together, and all sorts of delicious delicacies and fragrant wines were placed on them. Delicately designed cold drinks, desserts, and fruits were all available, showing off the hospitality and passion of the host.
The temporary maids were carefully selected Serpent Demon Girls.
They had exquisite faces and sexy upper bodies. If their snake-like hair and half of their bodies were not considered a taboo, the Serpent Demon Girls were a mysterious race that looked very pleasing to the eye.
They stood beside the dining table, using the table and tablecloths to cover their snake bodies. With sweet smiles on their faces, they helped each wizard to get the food that they were satisfied with.
However, only a small number of Wizards were interested in the delicacies and beauties. Most of them gathered near the Flame Cage, holding a glass of wine and pointing at the Wind Dragon with one or two of their friends.
The Wizard World had not seen a giant dragon for a long time.
Although some large Wizard Families or organizations had enslaved giant dragons, Grimm was the only one who put them on display and even auctioned them.
Especially for those Wizards who were looking for dragon blood, dragon bones, or dragon tendons, this was their only chance to get what they wanted.
The Wagenhagen Family, Congreve Family, Juniper Family, Gorse Family, Bahrain Family … In a short period of time, all the mid-sized and small families in the scattered Tower Forest region sent their messengers to attend the banquet.
Of course, their main goal was the small auction that would be held after the banquet.
Wizard Grimm had promised to sell this rank 2 Wind Dragon at the auction.
To be honest, nothing could make these messengers more satisfied than this promise!
A rank 2 Wind Dragon … If they could buy it and train it, their family would immediately have a powerful rank 2 fighter. What else could increase the family's strength faster than this?
As for why Grimm didn't use this Wind Dragon for himself and instead put it up for auction, everyone could not help but speculate. The most reasonable one was that Grimm's newly established Crimson Family lacked the necessary experts to tame such a powerful giant dragon, so he could only exchange it for other resources.
Of course, although this was not a complete guess, it was still half correct.
The other reason why Grimm wanted to sell the Wind Dragon was that there were simply too many rank 2 dragons in the Lance Plane. There were at least eighty rank 2 dragons like Chax, if not a hundred.
The Crimson Family had already established a firm foothold in the Lance Plane, and their rank 2 team had also taken shape. Those rank 3 dragons could not be provoked, but how could rank 2 dragons be easy to deal with?
Within tens of thousands of miles of the metal fortress, there were three rank 2 Dragon Lords. This was why Chax was only the first prey to fall into the Crimson Family's trap, but it definitely would not be the last.
They had to find a way to auction off the Wind Dragon and open up a market.
