The remaining fire on the earth has not yet been completely extinguished.
Rolls of black smoke lingered over the former battlefield.
With Keslinburg as the center, there are almost no human buildings that can maintain their original form within a radius of a hundred miles. Even the green jungles that can be seen everywhere have become a piece of scorched earth, with large blocks of black
The scorch marks marked the original scope of his rule.
However, on this withered land where all life was extinct, the Castle of Kesselin still stood silently. With the naked eye alone, it was impossible to find any signs of damage or battle on this castle that was still intact on the outside.
.
How could there be an ancient castle 'remaining' in the center of the main battlefield that was devastated and full of ruins? And according to everyone's understanding, at that time, this castle was transformed into a violent stone giant that towered over the sky, fighting fiercely with the Crimson Family.
Had a fight on the ground...
Although they knew there must be a secret, after the battle between the two sides, none of the core wizards of the Entom family escaped and all disappeared without a trace. This also left many onlookers confused, and they felt a sense of sadness from the bottom of their hearts.
A bone-chilling chill.
Could it be that the Crimson Family has reached such a high level that the Entom family, headed by Old Fried, cannot even escape alive? Such speculation also made Milva and other wizards fearful, and even contacted the Crimson Family to resist
The momentum has become a bit smaller.
At this moment, the central forces that once firmly opposed the Crimson Family have all stopped. They look like they are temporarily avoiding the limelight and do not want to be targeted by the Crimson Family and become the second Entom Family!
The reason why they opposed Crimson before was naturally because they did not want to give up the power and status in their hands. But if the result of the fierce opposition is death and the loss of family inheritance, such a price will be high for the fourth-level wizards who have lived for thousands of years.
It's too cruel to say.
Freedom is important, but if the price of pursuing freedom is your own life... this is something that level 4 wizards absolutely cannot accept!
Compared with life, succumbing to Grim and becoming a subsidiary force of the Crimson Family is not so difficult to accept.
In the past, they were used to being a tiger in the middle of the continent, and there was undoubtedly some deviation in their knowledge and cognition. They had never seen the terror of super strong men, so they thought they could unite and use their numerical superiority to suppress them.
Bow the other person's head.
The battle between Gravel Canyon and Keslinburg completely shattered their false arrogance and comfort, and also made them fully realize the power of the super strong. It seems that the super strong and the fourth-level wizards are no longer the same species.
, respectively located at two ends of the food chain, one is a predator, while the other is ridiculously reduced to prey...
This kind of understanding completely overturned the inherent impression they had formed over the past hundreds of years, and also made them realize their own shallowness and naivety. The Sand Tower Forest can continue to exist for tens of thousands of years, and it is not because they, the fourth-level wizards, have shocked the three
The Grand Wizard Organization is a delicate balance achieved through the entanglement of each other.
Now that the balance has been broken, where the Sand Tallinn will go in the future has become a question that every central wizard needs to think about and make a decision!
Should we choose Greem, or should we choose one of the three major wizard organizations? Or should it turn into a big quagmire and make the central part a bloody battlefield for the three major wizard organizations?
In the past, level 4 wizards instinctively rejected the words "unify the central part" when they heard it, preferring to keep the previous comfort and harmony. Now, even they have to seriously think about this issue.
If they are unwilling to make a choice, someone will always force them to make a choice. And by that time, there will be many fewer choices left for them...
Unconsciously, unification and non-unification have become a thing of the past, and now more people are discussing the issue of how to unify!
Whether Greem is cruel, whether the Crimson Family will be the winner-take-all, and what position each wizard family will be in the future of the Central Plains... Each of these thorny issues that need to be solved urgently has become what many family leaders want to know and understand.
something.
Of course, the answers to these questions can only be obtained from the Crimson Family!
Therefore, on the eleventh day after the destruction of the Entom family, which was also the second day after the forces of Molten City announced their surrender to the Crimson family, mysterious envoys who had concealed their identities poured into Keslinburg from all directions, wanting to meet them.
Seeing Greem who had just won the battle, he got the most practical promise from his mouth.
And when they arrived at the Crimson Fleet station, the first thing they saw was the Castle of Kerslin, which had gone through a brutal war but was still intact.
Many envoys who have been traveling to and from Kerslinburg all year round have secretly raised doubts. The appearance and style of the castle in front of them are the same as before, and there seems to be no change. However, when their eyes fall on the castle, they always feel...
There is a very strange strange feeling.
It seemed as if they had just seen this Kesselringburg for the first time today!
With this strange feeling, the secret messengers of each family stepped into Keslinburg.
Once inside the castle, this feeling became even stronger.
The same castle gate, the same gray stone square, the same light golden stone corridor, the same mental suppression, even the magical aura flowing in the stone wall is the same... But what filled the messenger's nose was a thick
The bloody smell lingers in the ears, and the terrible screams of souls linger in the ears, and the looming souls of the dead weeping blood can be seen in every corner...
Everything shows that a terrible blood sacrifice has just been carried out here, and the objects of the blood sacrifice are most likely those wizards of the Entom family who have never been heard from again.
There are more than two hundred wizards, and there are as many as seven light-level wizards... Such a huge number of wizards were all sacrificed with blood...
Every time they think about this, the envoys sent by various wizard families feel frightened and even walk a little stiffly.
Naturally, it was impossible for Greem to receive the numerous envoys from each family one by one, and only the large wizarding families could meet him in person. As for the remaining small and medium-sized families and wizarding organizations, they could only visit Meryl and ask her to convey some secret agreements.
and terms.
Since the war had just ended and the area was already in ruins, these envoys could only temporarily stay in Keslinburg. However, after only staying for one night, all the wizards moved out in unison.
They would rather build a mud house in the open wilderness and grill some wild food than take another step into Keslin Castle. The night of nightmares almost drove them crazy.
According to some wizards' private rumors, the night he stayed in the castle, he suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and was horrified to find that he was not lying on the warm and comfortable big bed, but instead was soaked in a terrifying pool of blood that was almost overflowing.
In the blood pool, there were missing heads, broken limbs, broken small intestines, white brains, and densely packed horrible souls that almost crowded the surface of the pool... The dead souls crawled out of the pool one by one, green and gray.
His face is extremely twisted and hideous due to pain, and he stretches out his incomplete arms, uttering a desperate and shrill wail at you...
As for the four walls, floor, and ceiling of the room, they are all covered by a layer of strange gray matter. The gray matter is constantly squirming and swelling, and thick tubes like blood vessels grow on the surface. The walls of the tubes are flesh-colored, translucent, and gurgling...
...There was a thick purple-black liquid flowing inside, and you could vaguely see the remains of undigested flesh and blood passing by.
Living in the castle actually gave him a weird feeling that he was living in the intestinal wall of some strange life form. It was this feeling that prompted him to move out in a hurry, never daring to step into Kesi again easily.
Limbaugh is halfway there.
This Keslinburg is definitely not the Keslinburg of the past!
It has undergone some kind of mutation and has become...a kind of weird guy whose identity is unclear and has dual characteristics of both alchemical life and flesh-and-blood life.
Therefore, those with keen senses instinctively choose to stay away from it!
In fact, not to mention these foreign envoys, even several senior members of the Crimson Family are temporarily living in the floating giant ship and do not dare to spend the night in Keslinburg.
There are currently only two tenants in the entire Keslinburg: Grim and Mary.
Of course, Shadow Demon always follows Greem and protects him personally.
As for Greem's choice to stay in Keslinburg, it was not for self-abuse, but to further conquer this strange life that had broken free from the prison of life and the confinement of witchcraft.
Yes, Keslinburg now fully possesses all the characteristics of an intelligent life form. If it were not for the lack of a permanent energy body, it would be difficult for even Greem to restrain such a creature that has swallowed up the entire Entom family.
Forbidden life.
Compared with ordinary intelligent life, the biggest feature of taboo life is that their growth and expansion are inseparable from taboo methods such as blood sacrifice, killing or destruction. Although wizards usually appear to have no taboos, they still have to abide by the basic rules.
The wizard's code must not easily harm lower creatures on the same plane.
This is also a wizarding convention established for the sustainable development of the entire wizarding civilization!
You don't have to comply, but once your evil deeds are announced, all wizarding organizations and forces will blacklist you and will no longer conduct any resource transactions or knowledge exchanges with you.
Even some jealous wizards will take the initiative to hunt you down, but this pursuit is not restricted by the wizard's code.
Therefore, considering the serious consequences, no wizard would dare to blatantly carry out killings or blood sacrifices in public. Of course, as long as the hands and feet are clean, there is no problem in everything that is done behind the scenes.
Every year, a number of wizard apprentices die silently in the private wizard towers. Most of them become victims of individual wizards testing dangerous witchcraft or taboo experiments. For these, most wizarding forces choose to turn a blind eye.
If you close one eye, you won't do too much scrutiny.
After all, every bit of progress of their own wizards symbolizes the growth of the overall strength of the family, so why not do it! (To be continued)
