"So you're saying that the minimum requirement for this competition is to become an official wizard? Could it be … Could it be … "Grimm's voice was a little hesitant. There seemed to be some information about this in the wizard world.
"That's right. I want you to participate in the arcane wizard ranking competition that will be held in Sky City in 5 years. As long as you can help us, the Byron family, to maintain our sales rights in Sky City, we will give you a huge gift. "
"I understand what you mean. What you need is a promise. As long as I promise to become an official wizard in 3 years and represent your Byron family in the competition, you will protect us for 3 years. This deal is what we both need the most. It is a fair trade between wizards, so I'm willing to accept it! "
"Hehe, that's good! Remember, you only have 3 years. Once that Toriel becomes an official wizard, our contract will be invalid. After all, no one wants to become enemies with a bloodline wizard who is good at fighting! "
"Understood, I will definitely advance before he does!" Grimm vowed.
Seeing Grimm's sincere expression, Wizard Angus waved his hand, and a ball of grey smoke exploded in front of Grimm. In an instant, it condensed into a spell contract.
Grimm took a step forward and carefully looked through this spell contract 3 to 4 times. Only when he was sure that there were no traps of words or patterns did he carefully leave his spell imprint on it.
Under normal circumstances, spell casters did not like to leave their soul imprint when they signed a contract. Although it was more binding, it was easy for their soul aura to fall into the hands of others. Therefore, in order to deal with this situation, wizards created a spell imprint. It was a combination of a person's special will wave and elemental energy to condense their own special imprint.
This way, they would not have to worry about their aura being used by their enemies, and they could guarantee that outsiders could not fake it. Therefore, it was accepted by all spell casters.
The Witchcraft Imprint that Grimm had set for himself was a flaming iron fist that rose into the sky.
The flame on the iron fist represented his natural affinity with fire, and the iron fist represented his strength. It also represented the wild ambition that was growing in Grimm's heart.
After taking back the contract, Wizard Angus threw Grimm a badge that represented the Byron family on his chest.
"Wear this. As long as you are in the Dagon area, no one will dare to provoke you. Alright, you guys can leave! "
As soon as the deal was done, Wizard Angus chased Grim and Magus out. To him, this was just one of the countless backup plans he had made for his family. It was not enough for him to treat it seriously. An Intermediate Acolyte wanting to become an official Magus in 3 years was something he had heard many times, but those who could actually make it to that stage were few and far between.
Therefore, before that little fellow becomes a true Magus, everything else is just a pawn!
When Grim and Mary respectfully left Angus' residence, they were shocked to find more than 20 elite acolytes gathered in front of the residence. They were divided into two factions, confronting each other. When Grim appeared, the leaders of the two factions looked at him at the same time.
When they glanced at the badge pinned on Grimm's chest, the expressions of the two leaders changed at the same time. One of them gritted his teeth in anger, while the other was full of smiles and even took the initiative to hug Grimm's shoulder.
"What? You can see it now. " Kevin's face was full of schadenfreude, "Grimm is already a member of the Byron family. Why aren't you guys leaving yet? What are you all standing here for? "
Grim vaguely remembered seeing the leader of the other faction in the training camp. If he remembered correctly, he was called Hamir. He was also a quasi-Wizard. However, looking at the unconcealed wave of his will, it was obvious that he was much weaker than Toriel.
"Grim … Very good …" Hamir threatened fiercely, "You're smart enough to know to hide under Lord Angus's protection. Otherwise, I, Hamir, will definitely let you know the consequences of provoking the Wharton family."
Grim let out a cold laugh.
"The reason I joined the Byron family was because of Wizard Angus's love for me. He did not want me to fall under the sinister schemes of those shameless people. However, I'm not afraid of a coward like you who only knows how to act tough with your mouth! "
"You …"
"Since you are willing to avenge Toriel, why don't we find a fair fight tomorrow? As long as you can defeat me in a fair fight, I am willing to give up the protection of Lord Angus. How about it, do you dare? "
"You …"
"Arrogant …"
"Impudent …"
In that moment, all the elite apprentices behind Hamir could not help but shout out with righteous indignation. Although Hamir kept shouting, his eyes were flickering and his face was gloomy. It was obvious that he did not dare to accept Grim's challenge.
Grimm chuckled coldly.
"The same goes for the rest of you. Anyone who wants to avenge Titoriel can have a fair fight with me. As long as I am satisfied with the wager, I will definitely accept it. So, which one of you is willing to have a fair fight with me? "Towards the end, Grim's tone had become harsh. His eyes shone brightly as he glared at the group of people in front of him. Even Kevin, who was closest to him, was secretly shocked by the aura contained in his eyes.
They were the ones who had come to capture this brat who had offended the dignity of the Wharton family. However, seeing the ferocious aura radiating from Grim, these people who had been making a ruckus just a moment ago all became silent. Some even turned their heads to avoid Grim's gaze.
For a moment, more than ten high-level apprentices and quasi-Wizards were forced into a corner by Grim, who was only an intermediate Wizard.
Although they knew that they would definitely be punished by their families after being humiliated like this, none of them were willing to go against this crazy fellow who was currently in the limelight.
Now that they had lost face, there was always room for negotiation when they returned. However, if they were to accept the bet out of impulse, it would not just be a matter of losing face. It was very likely that they would destroy the reputation that they had worked so hard to build in the training camp over the past seven or eight years. They would become a laughing stock.
If it was someone else, they would not be so cowardly. However, this brat in front of them was too strange. He … He could even defeat Toriel, who was about to undergo the advancement ceremony, and … and it was said that he had done it in a fair one-on-one fight.
The moment Toriel was injured and fell to the ground, the official wizard of the Wharton family stationed in the Dark Crypt was there. However, it was not convenient for him to personally take down this brat. If this Grim dared to offend the dignity of a Magus, even if a Magus personally killed him, no one would dare to stop him.
However … However, the problem was that this brat had actually knocked Toriel unconscious in a fair fight. If a Magus were to take action at that time, the other families would definitely laugh at them for not having a suitable successor. They had to personally deal with such a small matter as an intermediate Wizard apprentice.
Hence, after much consideration, this group of people had come together to denounce Grimm and capture him for offending the family. However, Grimm was now a member of the Byron family. It was impossible for them to beat him up indiscriminately. However … none of them had the confidence to take down Grimm one-on-one.
Grievance. Extreme grievance! Resentment, indescribable resentment!
The faces of more than ten elite apprentices from the Wharton family turned ashen. It was as if thousands of ants had crawled into their bodies, making them look extremely embarrassed.
"Let's go. We'll settle this with him later!" Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Hamil angrily waved his hand and led the group of people away.
Seeing the group of aggressive elite apprentices leave in such a sorry state, the remaining members of the Byron family could not help but look at each other in dismay. They were all veterans of the training camp. Although the relationship between the two families was not too harmonious due to the competition, they were still familiar with each other. If they were in Grimm's shoes, their performance would not have been any better.
It was not that they were incompetent, but that this brat was too strange!
Kevin had seen a lot of big scenes, so he pushed Grim away from the scene.
"Brother, since you're one of us, I won't treat you as an outsider in the future. Don't worry, with Dagon here, as long as you show the Byron family crest, no one will dare to make things difficult for you. Just tell me, and I'll bring people to destroy them! "
Grim's face was immediately filled with smiles, and he expressed his gratitude again and again.
Kevin's words were not boasting, but the truth.
According to the records of the Magus families, there were more than 20 famous Magus families in the Dagon region. Amongst them, the Byron family, where Kevin was from, was at least in the top three. As for the small human kingdom that the Byron family and the Mises family supported, they occupied a large piece of fertile land in the middle of the Dagon region.
Hence, when Leylin said that he would protect him in the Dagon region, he was not lying at all.
This situation was more or less the same in the Dagon region, even in the scattered tower forest. In this world where Magi were revered, human nobles and even royal families were just tools and servants for the Magus families to manage the commoners. If they angered a Magus family that supported them, even the king of a human kingdom would have to abdicate or die of 'illness' at any moment.
With Kevin's status as Magus Angus's nephew, he would receive the most luxurious reception and service when he went to the human kingdom. As long as he was willing to nod, even if he had to ask the princesses to accompany him, the king would personally send them to their bedside with a smile.
