The welcome banquet was held on the third level of the Wizard's Pagoda.
Those who could attend this banquet were the first batch of founding members of the Crimson Family.
Even though the family head Grim and Lady Mary had not arrived yet, the atmosphere was still as lively as ever.
Most of the family's Sorcerers had just returned from other dimensions. They were all brimming with money, and even their individual abilities had increased by quite a bit. Putting everything else aside, just the Insect Lich Bliss, who had never revealed himself, had already risen from Intermediate Tier 1 to Peak Tier 1.
If everything went smoothly, in another ten years or so, it could become the second family Magus to successfully advance to rank 2 after Lady Mary.
Level 2 …
To put it bluntly, this was the limit of most Sorcerers' dreams.
As for level 3 and 4, without exceptional talent or amazing encounters, most Sorcerers would never be able to reach such a high level even if they worked hard for their entire lives.
The Sorcerer's Handbook had a very comprehensive summary of the Sorcerer's advancement system.
First, to become a Sorcerer, one had to have the talent to become a Sorcerer, and then become an apprentice.
The so-called talent to become a Sorcerer referred to elemental talent!
According to the Sorcerer Association's statistics, in the Sorcerer World, there was only a 1.31% chance of a mortal being born with elemental talent. This also meant that out of a thousand mortals, there would at most be 13 apprentices with elemental talent.
And of these 13 apprentices, half would become mortals again because they would not be able to master meditation. As for the rest, they would have to slowly advance step by step from beginner apprentice to mid-level apprentice, high-level apprentice, and Prospective Sorcerer before they would have the right to become a Sorcerer.
According to the statistics, the success rate of an apprentice advancing to become a Sorcerer was less than 15%.
However, this success rate could still be increased through various methods and resources. Thus, some Sorcerers joked that the birth of a Sorcerer's apprentice depended on luck, while the birth of a Sorcerer depended on accumulation!
No matter how bad a Sorcerer's talent was, as long as the family was willing to devote resources to nurture them, the success rate of advancing to become a Sorcerer would still far exceed those who had no one to rely on.
However, the Sorcerer World was fair!
Those younger generation Sorcerers who were immersed in a honeypot would not be able to increase their success rate to 100% no matter how many resources they spent. It would be difficult for them to even reach 80%. Therefore, having a mountain behind him could indeed increase the success rate by a lot, but there was still more than a 20% chance of failure.
As for those sorcerer-apprentices who had nothing, as long as they reached the standard of a quasi-sorcerer, they would have a 15% chance of succeeding in one go.
Thus, no one dared to underestimate any Quasi Shaman. Who knew if that dazzling protagonist's halo would land on some unlucky fellow, allowing him to become the true master of the Sorcerer World in one fell swoop — a Sorcerer!
Becoming a Tier 2 Sorcerer was not something that could be achieved through experience and hard work. Most of the time, it required some special methods or some kind of strange talent. Otherwise, 70% of the Sorcerers would not be Rank 1 Sorcerers, but Rank 2 Sorcerers.
Compared to an orthodox Magus like Meryl, the Insect Lich Blitz's advancement speed was terrifying.
From the time he had reached Tier 1 to the peak of Tier 1, it had only taken him a total of 70 years. The most direct reason for this situation was that he had been immersed in endless killing for almost his entire life.
Regardless of whether it was the Goblin Plane, the Lance Plane, or the newly established Faern Plane, he had participated in all of them and played an extremely important role. It was precisely this kind of bloody training that allowed Blitz to advance at a speed that far exceeded that of an ordinary person.
Although Meryl, Descella, Gargamel, and the rest were envious, they could only shake their heads and sigh. After all, they could not imitate such a bloody life. If they forced themselves to do so, they might lose their lives in some other plane before they could increase their strength.
In the banquet hall on the third floor of the Wizard's Pagoda, there were only a dozen Sorcerers dressed in various robes.
Meryl, who had rushed back from the Goblin Plane, pulled Descella aside and asked in a low voice about their encounters in the Faern Plane. From time to time, Meryl's gaze would sweep across the entrance of the banquet hall, obviously waiting for her teacher Grimm to arrive.
As the host of the banquet, Gargamel frequently greeted the Sorcerers in the hall. Beside him stood the gorgeous and graceful Forest Demon, who used a cold and indifferent expression to force back every female acolyte who tried to approach Gargamel.
Between the two of them, a beautiful girl in a jade-green dress held the Forest Demon's hand tightly, her eyes filled with curiosity as she scanned the hall.
She, too, had the strength of a Level 1 Sorcerer!
Other than these few human Sorcerers, the rest were probably all Sorcerers of different races.
Medusa and the leader of the Chimeras, Karon, were closer. The two of them occupied a corner of the hall, quietly sipping wine like the human Sorcerers, and whispering to each other.
The only group that could maintain the atmosphere of the banquet was the group of Vampires that Mary had brought back.
Soros and Winsol were the only two remaining Blood Knights. They wore dazzling blood-red armor, and had a pair of curled up blood-red bat wings on their backs. Their entire appearance was majestic and imposing. In stark contrast to them were six Blood Elves who were at Tier 1 and Tier 2.
There were men and women among them, but even the male Blood Elves had delicate and handsome faces. It was difficult to determine their gender just by looking at their faces.
These Blood Elves were obviously unwilling to be left out. They took the lead and danced in the hall. With their charming faces and graceful dance moves, they successfully attracted the attention of all the Sorcerers present.
The atmosphere of the banquet instantly became lively!
Other than the orthodox Sorcerers, there were seven or eight Prospective Sorcerers who could attend the banquet.
Although they could not enjoy the treatment of Sorcerers, they were not the main characters of this banquet. However, as a reserve force trained by their families, they could still attend a family banquet like this and experience the atmosphere and ways of interacting with Sorcerers in advance.
Of course, if they could use this banquet to gain the favor of a Sorcerer, they would definitely have a source of resources in the future.
Therefore, these male and female Prospective Sorcerers were all meticulously prepared and dressed up. The men were handsome and strong, while the women were delicate and lovely. They surrounded the field and chatted amiably, forming a beautiful scene in the banquet!
As for the Goblin Merchant, Kabi, he was an active member of the banquet.
Relying on its experience as Grimm's follower, it leisurely wandered among different small circles and groups. He used the passion of a Goblin Merchant to converse with everyone, talking cheerfully and wittily, as if he was the main character of the banquet.
The ones in charge of serving the entire banquet were a group of specially selected female acolytes, as well as a few especially docile servants from another world — the Forest Elves.
It had to be said that there would always be some who were especially stubborn and conservative in any group, but there would also be some who knew how to adapt.
This batch of Forest Elves had only been transported to the Blazing Flame Monarch for less than half a day, and some of them had already accepted their new identities. They wore slave collars and seriously took on the role of elven maids.
This was actually their wisdom.
Almost all of the Forest Elves that Grimm had transported back from Faern were fighters, and there was no lack of Grade 2 powerhouses among them. In another plane, they might be the nobles of the nobles, but here, they were nothing more than delicate dolls in the hands of the Sorcerers.
If they were more docile, they might be able to live longer. If they continued to be stubborn, they would end up on the dissection table or in the laboratory!
Of course, it was common for evil Magi with special fetishes to turn them into sex slaves or keep them as specimens.
Finally, halfway through the banquet, Grimm, who was dressed in black Magus robes, and Magus Mary, who was dressed up nicely, entered the banquet hall together.
Behind the two of them were Dragonman Zachary and the Goblin Tigule.
The arrival of the four Grade 2 Magi from the family immediately pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax.
All the Magi from the family stopped chatting and dancing, standing and applauding in unison. On the other hand, the young Quasi Sorcerers surrounding the scene clapped their hands loudly. Their faces were flushed, and they were excited to see this legendary figure in their families again.
It was said that this Crimson Tribe Leader was a powerful figure who had climbed to Grade 2 with his own strength.
He had risen to power in the Swamp Tower and made a name for himself in the Dark Caves. He was especially adept at controlling elemental puppets. He had once defeated a Quasi Magus as a high-ranked acolyte, and as a Quasi Magus, he had turned the entire Volcano World upside down.
However, what showed this legendary figure the most was a secret battle that no one knew about!
Three young Magi who had just leveled up, with their lives in their hands, had actually turned the situation around and killed the evil Magus who had wanted to sacrifice the three of them.
This had also become his most famous battle!
From then on, he could not be stopped. From a lonely and nameless ordinary Magus, he quickly grew to become an extremely powerful elite Magus.
Fire Demon … Fire Demon …
Similar titles appeared on him again and again, each time indicating the fall of a powerful enemy.
Along the way, he had successfully established his own Magus Tower in the Dark Forest.
As for his subsequent adventures in other planes, his summoning of powerful dragon beasts to slaughter the Vampire Family, and his successful return from the other plane, each of these events firmly marked the rise of a powerful figure.
To be honest, why were the Magi, Quasi Magi, and acolytes present here?
It was to be able to rely on this powerful Magus and enjoy some of the benefits of war that normal people could not hope to obtain.
If the Crimson Family rose to power under the leadership of this legendary leader, then those who joined earlier would be able to obtain more resources and benefits!
