In fact, Molten Fire City was a huge underground city that was opened up in the belly of a volcano.
The core building of the city was, of course, a powerful Wizard Tower.
But unlike the others, this Wizard's Pagoda was not built on a stable volcanic rock. Instead, it was built on a region of flowing lava.
The Wizard's Tower would only be revealed at a fixed time every year as the sea of lava receded. For the rest of the time, the wizard tower was hidden in a tumbling sea of hot lava, and the traffic inside and outside was cut off.
The Wizard's Tower became the secluded residence of the Level 4 Master of Molten City.
As for the other Wizards of Molten City, including a few deputy city masters, they all lived in the underground tunnels around the Wizard's Tower. The volcanoes that rose and fell continuously, the winding and complicated underground maze, and the numerous modified Shaman Beasts caused this underground world to seem to not be desolate, and the aura of life could be sensed everywhere.
The entire Molten City was divided into three levels. The inner core was the Wizard District.
Due to the high concentration and activity of fire elements, normal humans could not survive here for long. Therefore, only wizards could enter and live here normally.
The outer core was the Apprentice District.
Thanks to the isolation of the energy barrier, the energy radiation here was much lower than in the core area. That was why most of the apprentices lived here. Whether it was for research or daily activities, the main activity area of the Wizard Apprentices was around the outer ring of the core area.
On the outskirts of the apprentice area, there were some small living areas that were similar to villages or supply points. There were many ordinary people who provided various services to the apprentices. There was no lack of taverns, inns, mercenary camps, underground black markets, and other special places. The waitresses in the taverns often sold sex on the side.
However, these outposts provided a large number of fearless miners for Molten City.
One of the main reasons why the Level 4 Wizard had chosen to build the Wizard's Pagoda here was because there was a large metal vein deep within the volcano. The magical metals stored in the vein were of excellent quality, and the amount was astonishing. It became the biggest source of income for the Molten City.
The mineral deposits required a large amount of manpower to excavate them.
That was why Molten City had spared no effort to build a massive underground city here, all for the astonishing reserves of magical metal veins beneath their feet. Every day, thousands of miners of various races worked hard in the complex underground mines, fighting for the strength of Molten Fire City with their lives.
Therefore, the more Grimm learned about the Molten Fire City, the more emotional he felt.
In terms of population, the scale of the city, and the amount of resources traded, this Molten Fire City was clearly a hundred times stronger than the Crimson Family's Blazing Flame Monarch Wizard's Pagoda.
But even though he was envious, Grim didn't dare to dream of occupying or owning such an area.
In the Sorcerer World, almost all of the high-grade resources had already been divided up by the large forces or high-grade Sorcerers. Even if such a high-grade resource fell into his hands, it wouldn't bring him a huge amount of magic crystals, but an endless war between Magi.
Without sufficient strength to intimidate the enemy, it would be easy for Tier 4 Sorcerers to covet these resources if they were exposed. The Crimson Family did not have any Tier 4 Sorcerers.
Not only was it not a blessing for such a resource to fall into his hands, it might even cause the destruction of the entire family.
Some time ago, there had been a few Sorcerer wars against the Crimson Family. On the surface, it seemed like a conflict between families, but the root of the problem was the Lance Plane that the Crimson Family controlled.
A decent Dragon Plane with an inexhaustible supply of Dragon Tokens …
This was obviously not something a rising family could have!
Hence, the wealth of the Crimson Family attracted the attacks of many small and medium-sized families, like hungry wolves.
If not for the Crimson Family's solid foundation, the rising family that Grim had created would have already become food for others. When that happened, Grim would lose the protection of his family and be alone. He would have to hand over the Lance Plane's world waymark and be labeled as a failure, becoming the laughing stock of all Sorcerers!
…
Filled with endless fantasies, Grim was led through the outskirts of the base, past the apprentices' area, and finally arrived in front of an underground cave.
Here, a dark red membrane of light blocked the way forward.
The Lizard Cavalry reined in their mounts and stood guard at the sides respectfully. Only Grim swaggered into the barrier under the guidance of the Tier 2 Sorcerer.
It was as if he had passed through a transparent barrier of water, and he did not feel any obstruction.
But at the same time, Grim also sensed four to five detection waves of different functions scanning his body stealthily. Unfortunately, they were all blocked by the transparent flames around Grim's body.
As if he had received a message from a spell in the distance, the black-robed Sorcerer smiled and bowed, "Lord Flame, please follow me! Lord Kyrak is already waiting for you … "
The meeting place was a grey underground hall. A Tier 3 Sorcerer and two Tier 2 Sorcerers were already waiting here. When they saw Grim arrive, smiles appeared on their faces.
The Tier 3 Lord Kyrak looked exactly the same as he did in the mental illusion. He was tall and skinny, with a dark green gem embedded in the middle of his forehead. He was very enthusiastic about Grim's arrival.
"You must be the legendary Fire Shaman tribe leader of the Elobis region, right? It's an honour to meet you, Sir Grimm! "Kyrak had a smile on his face as he nodded to Grimm.
The other two Tier 2 Sorcerers were a man and a woman. Both of them were quite young, and they stood behind Kyrak, secretly sizing up Grim.
Those who were able to become high-grade Sorcerers were all people with outstanding talent and luck. However, to be able to reach rank 3 before the age of 200 meant that his talent was a little too monstrous.
Hence, when the two Tier 2 Sorcerers from Molten City suddenly saw this legendary Fire Shaman, they could not help but feel a little excited. When she saw Grim's handsome appearance and sturdy body, the young female Sorcerer's eyes sparkled, and a smile appeared on her face.
Grimm wasn't surprised that the other party was able to find out his identity.
He had already done some research before coming here. Molten City was a well-known force in the central part of the continent, and it was a very powerful organization. This could be easily understood from the fact that they could occupy a large area all by themselves.
On top of that, the Tickstedt region where Molten City was located was too far away from the Crimson Family. It was impossible for them to have any conflicts of interest, let alone any hidden conflicts. Therefore, Grim did not have to worry about his safety here.
Therefore, Grim was not surprised or panicked at all when the other party exposed his identity.
"It's my honor to visit Molten City. Everything here is so amazing. It's not a fluke that your organization could occupy the Tickstedt region alone. "
"Haha, Lord Grim, you're too kind!" Wizard Kyrak chuckled and changed the topic, "Our Molten City has invited two Wizards for a mission. The other one will arrive in about 2 days, so I'll have to trouble you to stay here for 2 days. In my opinion, I'll let Wizard Freana accompany you for the next two days! "
The female Wizard standing behind Wizard Kyrak took a step forward and said with a smile, "Lord Grim, why don't I show you around first?"
This Wizard Freana had a beautiful appearance and a sexy body. The white robe she was wearing made her look even more beautiful, with a slim waist and long legs. However, when Grimm glanced at her, he sensed a faint energy radiation from her face and body.
It seemed like her appearance and body had been modified with a spell.
This kind of situation was very common among most low-ranking Wizards. After all, a Witch's beauty was also a resource that could be used. However, this kind of situation was very rare among high-ranking Wizards. This was because high-grade witches were all strong-willed and strong-willed people. In many aspects, they were even stronger than wizards. How could they be willing to do such a shameful thing like exchanging their bodies for resources!?
"Thank you!" Grim smiled faintly and followed him out of the stone hall.
After Grim and Freana's footsteps disappeared into the depths of the tunnel, the other rank 2 Wizard asked, "Lord Kyrak, what should we do about the mines? If this Lord Grim wants to enter the mines with the excuse of a mission, should we stop him? "
The tall and skinny Wizard Kyrak lowered his head and muttered, "This Grim is here for the Kellas Ore, so you must keep an eye on Mines 2 and 3. If necessary, he can freely enter Mine 4, but don't let him get close to Mines 2 and 3. By the way, has the flaming tiger come to cause trouble these days? "
"Last month, it was injured by Lord Dorian with the help of a spell circle. It hasn't invaded the mines since. However, in the past 2 days, there have been signs of its activity around Mine 2. I suspect it is planning something again … "
"Send more people. We must not give it a chance to break in. The last time it caused a ruckus in Mine 3, many miners were injured or killed. It has seriously affected the production of the eternal gold mine! "
"Yes, I will arrange it personally!"
"Alright, make sure everything is arranged properly. Don't let anything go wrong … Also, the other sealing master that we invited will be here soon. Once everyone is here, we will immediately capture and kill the flaming tiger. Before that, you must also find a way to track the flaming tiger's movements. It would be best if you can find out where its nest is … "
"This …" The rank 2 Wizard's face showed a trace of difficulty, but he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "I will do it!"
