However, such a price was acceptable.
After all, Grimm had already looted the lairs of the four giant dragons. It would not be a problem for him to build a new Wizard's Pagoda after selling the resources and gemstones he had obtained.
Moreover, the materials and resources needed to forge the two pieces of the Blazing Flame Monarch had all been gathered during this period of time. Grimm naturally needed to take this opportunity to reorganize his resources and strength.
Due to the remoteness of the area and the lack of suitable stone substitutes, the construction of the medium-sized Wizard's Pagoda took two whole months. In order to avoid trouble with the Cold Winter Witches, Alice had specially sent the ice woman Cheff over to supervise the construction.
But it had to be said that the Silver Alliance had their own unique expertise in the creation of puppets and the construction of the Wizard's Pagoda. In the past month, they had sent an endless stream of caravans to transport resources, almost turning the cold and silent Icy Wind Territory into a bustling market.
The resources they had spent so much effort to transport were all kinds of heavy stones and specially processed components of the Wizard's Pagoda. The three Wizards of the Silver Alliance commanded a large group of Stone Golems, Iron Golems, and Construct Puppets. It only took them a dozen days to erect a ninety-meter-tall ice tower with a diameter of three hundred meters.
Yes, in order to fit the environment and elemental characteristics of the Icy Wind Territory, they had recommended a tall ice tower for Grimm. The outer layer of the tower was made of Ice Congealing Stone, a special material that could absorb the free ice elements in the air and continuously strengthen the body.
This was very suitable for the Icy Wind Territory.
As the Icy Wind Territory was located at the edge of the north, the climate was cold and dry. In a year of December, the temperature would only rise above zero degrees in July and August. The rest of the time, the temperature would be around minus twenty degrees.
With these convenient conditions, it was estimated that the basic defense of the Wizard's Pagoda would be able to reach 450 to 600 degrees, even without considering the effects of Wizard Defense Spells and Magical Energy. If the defense system of the Wizard's Pagoda was activated at the right time, the basic defense of the Wizard's Pagoda could reach an astonishing 1000 degrees.
This also meant that even without a Wizard of the same level controlling it, a Level Three Wizard would not be able to damage the Wizard's Pagoda at all!
More importantly, as a medium-sized Wizard's Pagoda, it already had the right to control the changes in the environment within a ten-mile radius. Of course, if he wanted to achieve such an effect, the Wizard's Pagoda would have to expend a large amount of energy, and it might even affect the operation of the Wizard's Pagoda's other energy systems.
The original Blazing Flame Monarch was just a small Wizard's Pagoda. Even though the Wizard Techniques within were complete, they were few and far between. A fully functional alchemy laboratory needed to provide basic services for more than twenty wizards and nearly a hundred sorcerer-apprentices at the same time, and those high-grade wizards could casually conduct a large-scale witchcraft experiment that could last as long as one or two months.
If this situation persisted for too long, it would be detrimental to the progress of the family's Magi and acolytes!
But the appearance of this medium-sized Wizard's Pagoda had completely turned this unfavorable situation around.
The spacious acolyte's hut allowed acolytes to no longer have to squeeze into a stone room in groups of two or three. The expansion of the tower also provided more space for Magi and acolytes to live and move around.
The newly appeared family library was also filled with a large number of books, many of which were new knowledge obtained from the Other World. Of course, high level knowledge was still firmly held in the hands of the family, but some enlightening or forward-looking basic knowledge and subjects were already open to all members of the family.
The ability to obtain rare materials and knowledge from the Other World that were hard to find in the outside world through the family, as well as the right to purchase them at a discount, was actually the most attractive aspect of a Wizard family!
Otherwise, why would those acolytes work so hard to become a member of some large Wizard family or faction? It was precisely for the benefits and privileges that these wandering Wizards and acolytes would never be able to obtain.
It must be known that most acolytes did not have that much talent, and it was impossible for them to all come from wealthy noble families. Thus, even if it was just a tiny bit of benefit or discount, it meant that they could take fewer risks and participate in less dangerous Magical Beast hunts or exploration of ruins.
In the acolyte period, they lacked the protection of powerful Wizard Weapons, and their own defensive and offensive spells were not complete. Under the circumstances that any exploration meant that their lives were in the hands of the Goddess of Destiny.
Thus, Wizard families with good family welfare and sufficient resources were able to attract a steady stream of acolytes. With enough acolytes, Wizard families could pick out those with outstanding talent and potential and focus on nurturing them.
A good Wizard nurturing system was the key to a Wizard family's long-term foothold in the Sorcerer World!
In this aspect, the Crimson Family that Grimm founded was lacking.
It had to be said that Grimm's aggressive development strategy had a huge impact on the Crimson Family.
Looking at the current Crimson Family, there were only two true Grade 2 Wizards, Grimm and Mary. Like Tigule who controlled the Goblin Ripper, and Olivia the Dragon Devourer, they were only Grade 2 aliens with the strength of a Grade 2 Wizard.
As for the Dragonman Zachary, the Blood Knights, and the Blood Elves, they were only Grade 2 servants of Grimm and Mary. They were not official Wizard Tower Wizards.
Counting with his fingers, the number of Grade 2 creatures in the Crimson Family had already exceeded the number of Grade 1 Wizards. This also indicated that the future development of the Crimson Family was in a dangerous situation.
It could be said that 99% of the Crimson Family's power was entrusted to Grimm and Mary. If anything happened to either of them, the overall strength of the Crimson Family would crumble like a cliff.
In the past, Grimm had been constantly conquering and slaughtering in order to provide sufficient resources for the family's development. Now that he had the goblin plane in hand and the Lance plane in the process of slowly developing, it was time for him to reorganize his family's development framework.
The Goblin Plane was the first private plane that Grimm had conquered. With Meryl overseeing the place, there was basically no way for them to cause any trouble. As for this plane, the Crimson Family lacked the necessary manpower to develop it in depth, so the Goblin Empire's development was mainly based on the independent development. The Wizards only existed as' super rulers'.
After the violent upheaval that affected the entire Goblin Plane, the Goblins had fully understood the huge gap between their strength and the Wizards'. Although he was somewhat unwilling, he could only obediently become the Sorcerers' slaves and accept the rule of this group of Otherworld Sorcerers.
The biggest gain that the Crimson Family could obtain from the Goblin Plane was the rich mineral resources.
It had to be said that as a low-magic world, the Goblin Plane lacked magical creatures and magic resources. However, the reserves of metal and mineral resources were shockingly high.
With Meryl as the representative, the Crimson Family had adopted a gentler way of ruling the former Goblin Empire. On one hand, they transported large amounts of Wizard resources to support the noble Goblins who wanted to live a luxurious life. On the other hand, they used unfair methods to exchange Wizard resources for large amounts of metal ores and special alloys.
The giant floating airship that was destroyed in the Faern Plane was built using large amounts of metal from the Goblin Plane. With the current scale of trade between the Crimson Family and the Goblins, it would only take half a year for Grimm to accumulate enough resources to build a second floating airship.
According to Meryl's data, all the resources that the Crimson Family obtained from the Goblin Plane every year were worth 500,000 to 800,000 magic crystals.
Of course, if the Crimson Family was more ruthless and black-hearted, they would be able to obtain even more resources from the Goblin Plane. However, if that was the case, it would be difficult to ensure the order of the Goblin Plane.
Once the Goblins started to make a ruckus, the Crimson Family would have to deploy a large number of Magi to suppress the Subjugation Crusade. When that happened, the Goblin Plane would become an unbearable quagmire of war, and most of the Crimson Family's energy and military might would be involved.
Looking at it all, draining the pond to catch the fish would not be worth it. The order that Meryl had established was more reasonable and less laborious!
As for the Lance Plane, it had always been Grimm's biggest headache.
The magical creatures and giant dragons there were so abundant that it made him want to cry, but … With the Crimson Family's current strength, they did not have the ability to swallow it all.
Hence, rather than saying that the Crimson Family had occupied the Lance Plane, it was more accurate to say that they had secretly set up a camp there, and would secretly hunt low-grade giant dragons from there.
Of course, the risk of hunting giant dragons was much greater than lying around and collecting money in the Goblin Plane. They could not strike consecutively in a short period of time, or else the giant dragon lords would retaliate.
However, the profits from a single successful hunt were shockingly high!
Taking the rank 2 giant dragons, which were the most numerous in the Lance Plane, as an example, a captured giant dragon would cost around 600,000 to 800,000 magic crystals to be transported to the Magus World. If they encountered Magi who urgently needed a giant dragon, the price could even double.
Furthermore, this was only the value of the giant dragon itself!
But don't forget, these giant dragons are all experts at amassing wealth and keeping treasures. If they could capture its nest in one go, just the worldly wealth, precious treasures, and resources alone would surpass the value of the giant dragon itself.
As long as they planned it well, the Crimson Family could earn around two million magic crystals from hunting a rank 2 giant dragon in the Lance Plane. However, half of the resources and wealth had to be distributed to the Magi of the family, and the family could only earn around a million magic crystals.
Even so, the profits from a single Lance Plane was far greater than a low-magic goblin plane!
