The Hellfire Labyrinth of the Grade 2 Fire Dragon Bammu had collapsed!
A rumor that startled dragons spread like a plague across Lance.
Every dragon that heard the news couldn't help but be alarmed, and they began to inquire about the source and reliability of the news. There were even some meddlesome dragons that flew to Bammu's Hellfire Labyrinth in an attempt to ask him if the news was true.
It was a pity that the Grade 2 Fire Dragon disappeared without a trace, as if it had evaporated into thin air.
The Hellfire Labyrinth it had built its nest in had completely collapsed, just as the rumor had it. Large sections of the collapsed walls and rubble even blocked the underground river of lava, causing the lava that flowed beneath the Blazing Steppes to rush to the surface and form a large lava lake where the Lava Canyon used to be.
This also stopped the meddlesome dragons from going down to investigate.
Along with the tier-2 Fire Dragon, a large number of Fire-Maw Drakonids under its command also disappeared. Around the entire lava canyon, there were no longer any towering figures clad in dark-red scales, their massive bodies swaying as they patrolled the burning land.
According to the remaining high-ranked magical creatures in the Blazing Steppes, it seemed that a group of strange outsiders had barged into the Fire Dragon Lord's territory, and then Bammu had mysteriously disappeared. As for those outsiders, they lacked sufficient information, and it was difficult to find out their true identities.
Hence, after investigating for half a year without any useful information, the dragons finally lost their patience and began to disperse one by one.
The mysterious disappearance of the Grade 2 Fire Dragon Bammu became one of the most puzzling mysteries in Lance.
… …
A single Grade 2 Fire Dragon wouldn't have been able to push Ollie to the Grade 3 throne.
However, compared to before, her magic resistance, physical strength, and spiritual force had all improved by leaps and bounds. More importantly, she seemed to have inherited some of the Fire Dragon's special abilities. She could also unleash the powerful Flame Breath that covered a wide area.
Seeing a petite and cute human beauty spitting out a fan-shaped Flame Breath like a dragon, even Grimm's mind was in a daze. Although the Magi had researched high-ranked spells like Dragon Breath based on the Dragon Breath, it was still far from being able to compare to the real Dragon Breath.
After absorbing the Fire Dragon's Vengeful Soul, Ollie's dragon-branded weapons had become even more powerful and terrifying. While this might not be of much use against other races, it had a miraculous effect against dragons.
After all, the Dragon Soul Curse on the weapons wasn't something regular dragons could easily endure.
As for the low-ranked dragons, they would have to endure the punishment of Draconic Aura when they fought Ollie. Perhaps Olina only needed to let out a loud roar, and she would be able to scare away the giant dragons that were two ranks lower than her. They would not even have the courage to gang up on her.
However, the surge in Spirit also made it impossible for her to conceal herself as perfectly as before. Before she digested and absorbed these dragon soul curses, it was no longer suitable for her to stay in Lance Plane.
Otherwise, all the dragon experts in the entire Lance Plane would be attracted by the intense dragon devourer's aura, and they would go to the metal fortress to look for her!
That was why she could only retract her spiritual force and follow Grim and the others to the Blazing Flame Monarch, becoming a new Tier 2 Magus of the Crimson Family. At this point, the Crimson Family had four Grade 2 Magi.
As for Draconian Zachary, the two Blood Knights, and the three Blood Elves, due to their special identities, they were only regarded as Grade 2 servants of Grimm and Mary. They were not yet official wizards with independent souls.
However, for a new Sorcerer family that had been established for less than three to five years to have such a deep foundation, it was already beyond everyone's expectations. This also meant that those who chose to join the Crimson Family early on would all earn a lot and become the greatest victors!
Meanwhile, the sudden influx of Tier 2 Sorcerers put the family's remaining Tier 1 Sorcerers under immense pressure. If they did not speed up their advancement, they would probably be thrown out of the core area in the near future and become marginal figures in the family.
After distributing the treasures of the Fire Dragon to the Magi who participated in the battle according to how much effort they put in, the rest were kept in the family's treasury. The Crimson Family, who had been busy for a long time, finally stabilized. They began to shift the focus of their development back to the Blazing Flame Monarch.
The addition of many Grade 2 Sorcerers, along with the growth of the Grade 1 Sorcerers in the family, caused the Crimson Family's reputation and prestige to grow.
It had to be said that a small Wizard's Pagoda like the Blazing Flame Monarch could no longer support the entire Crimson Family!
The family's strength and influence needed to be expanded, so choosing a direction for their future development became especially important.
After a series of discussions between Grimm and Alice, they finally decided to build the Crimson Family's new Wizard's Pagoda in the north.
Even though the Sorcerers in the scattered Tower Forest region were more scattered and had a lot of potential for development, the conflict between the Sorcerer Families was extremely intense. A bloody war between the Sorcerer Families would erupt every two to three days. However, the Scattered Tower Forest Association was keeping them in check, which was why there were no wars everywhere.
Grimm had always been on the outskirts of the Scattered Tower Forest Sorcerers, which was why he had not been embroiled in the cruel Sorcerer Wars. He had later left the Sarubo Family and established the Crimson Family. He had been trapped in the newly developed Black Forest region, which was why he had not become the prey of the Sorcerer Families.
To be honest, there were many people who wanted to attack the Crimson Family, but they were helpless against a group of Sorcerers hiding in the Wizard's Pagoda. If the Crimson Family had their own territory, manors, and resource points in the center of the scattered Tower Forest, they would have long been snatched by the surrounding Sorcerer Families.
Unfortunately, the Crimson Family did not have any of these things.
Furthermore, the Crimson Family seemed to have no interest in these hereditary territories and resource points. They had not even extended their influence beyond the Wizard's Pagoda.
The only known asset the Crimson Family had was the small Wizard's Pagoda hidden deep underground, the Crimson Throne. But this was also the hardest to take. Even the Grade 3 Vampire Family had suffered greatly at the hands of the Crimson Throne. The other Sorcerer Families naturally had no interest in traveling tens of thousands of miles to take on this tough bone.
It was not that the surrounding Sorcerer Families did not want to deal with the rapidly rising Crimson Family, but that they could not find a place to strike!
The Crimson Family that had not left the Wizard's Pagoda already had countless enemies in the center of the continent. One of the Vampire Families had a blood feud with them, two Sorcerer Families had a grudge against them, and even their old family, the Salubo Family, had enmity against them …
This level of enmity was unparalleled even among the small-scale Sorcerer Families!
Thus, if the Crimson Family wanted to expand their influence in the scattered Tower Forest, they would definitely be attacked and plotted against by their enemies. At that time, it would not be worth it to be beaten back with a face full of dirt and dirt.
It was because she had considered all of these factors that Alice had suggested Grimm to expand the Crimson Family to the north. Even though the Witches here were xenophobic, with the support of Alice, the leader of the Destiny Witches, Grimm and the Crimson Family had much more room for development than in the center of the continent.
Since the direction had been decided, the next step was to choose the location of the family's new territory!
Rich and prosperous places had already become the territories of other Witches. The territories that were returned to the Destiny Witches were either saline deserts or the borders of the northern lands where magical creatures roamed. Even a top-notch Sorcerer Family had to be prepared to lose everything if they wanted to start from scratch in such a place.
However, Grimm did not care about this.
The Sorcerer Kingdom of his dreams was incompatible with the current Sorcerer World. Perhaps only this process of construction from scratch could allow him to find his true path forward.
Therefore, after running around in the north for five months, Grim finally decided on a place called the Icewind Territory for his family.
Icy Wind Territory.
It was located in the eastern part of the northern lands, a land of ice and snow adjacent to the Dark Forest.
There were almost no human villages or towns here, and even the nearest Wizard Tower was 400 kilometers away. This was originally the territory of the Chilly Winter Witches, but the Chilly Winter Witches were unwilling to return the fertile land in the center of the northern lands. Thus, they gave this 100-kilometer-wide frozen plateau to the Destiny Witches.
As it was extremely difficult to nurture the Destiny Witches, they did not even have the direct territories under their control. This enclave at the edge of the Black Forest had naturally become a decoration, a barren land with no one to manage it.
No Witch was willing to set up camp here, and without the powerful protection of the Wizard's Pagoda, no one dared to settle down here. Therefore, Grim had traveled all over the Icy Wind Territory, but apart from a dozen or so hunters who were making a living here, he could not find any other living people!
To others, this kind of territory was naturally a bone without any benefits, but to Grimm, it was a good stepping stone for his rise. Therefore, after marking out a piece of land on a high hill less than five kilometers away from the Black Forest, the Pagoda Builder hired by Grimm quickly arrived.
Just like in the center of the continent, the Tower Builder Grimm hired still belonged to the Silver Alliance's branch in the northern lands. For the future development of his family, Grimm gritted his teeth and hired the Tower Builder to build a medium-sized Wizard's Pagoda.
It was a medium-sized Wizard's Pagoda with fifteen floors and all the Wizard's buildings and equipment!
The cost of building a medium-sized Wizard's Pagoda was as high as its power and function. The price was so high that it would make one cry.
1.2 million Magic Crystals … 1.2 million Magic Crystals!
