This is actually the tragedy of most wizard families!
After becoming a wizard, due to the closure of the life energy system and the huge changes in body factors, it becomes a huge problem to have children like ordinary people. Even if there are occasional successes, the children will most likely be ordinary people.
Or simply some malformed fetuses.
However, if the wizard who is the parent is strong enough or the bloodline is strong, even though it is more difficult to give birth, the offspring born will most likely continue his (or her) powerful bloodline talent.
Most wizard families, especially blood wizard families, usually refuse to intermarry with non-family members in order to maintain the purity and tradition of the family bloodline.
Within the He-Man family, the gap in treatment between family members who have awakened their bloodline power and those who have not awakened their bloodline power is simply astonishingly large.
Bloodline descendants like Celia will be trained hard by the family. If she is lucky enough, she still has a chance to become a first-level bloodline wizard. But once it is determined that the bloodline power is not enough to support becoming a bloodline wizard, her fate will be
It is destined to only become a fertility tool for other high-level bloodline wizards in the family.
Celia was very lucky and had a relatively powerful Grandpa Thacker to protect her, so she was able to spend a happy childhood in Wyrick Castle.
Therefore, when the big sheltering tree above their heads collapsed, their fate became dangerous and unknown!
Although her reason kept telling her that she must leave the castle now, Celia, who had never experienced traveling alone, could not muster the courage to rush out of this world.
After awakening the power of her bloodline, she also went to some primeval forests for adventure and experience, but that was all done under the protection of a large group of mercenary teams and family apprentices. And she still gained very little combat experience and life skills!
So when her brother, who was an ordinary person, kept reminding her, Celia was still hesitant.
Maybe the family will not be so heartless, maybe things will turn around, maybe Grandpa Thacker is just seriously injured and hiding outside to recuperate...
However, just as the two of them were hiding in the house and whispering, a feminine hissing voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Hide away? Jie Jie Jie... Stop dreaming! You may have forgotten that you all have the blood of the He-Man family. It would be too easy to trace your whereabouts..."
The door opened, and a male wizard with a gray triangular snake head walked in.
It's Exa!
The family wizard sent by the family to deal with Grandpa Thacker's funeral.
The two people in the room faced each other, their eyes showing fear and shrinking at the same time.
They knew very well that the Exar wizard had always been at odds with their grandfather. Since the family sent him here, the decision made by the family elders was obvious!
Looking at Wizard Exar's strange vertical pupils flashing with a sinister light, Celia asked in a trembling voice: "How did the family decide on the death of Grandpa Thacker?"
"Of course..." Wizard Exar sneered: "No more pursuing it! After all, Thacker took the initiative to find trouble for the other party before he was killed. The other party has also submitted all the evidence to Sandi Talin.
Association. The old immortals in the association are constantly putting pressure on the family, asking the family to hand over the murderer who destroyed the stability and unity. Jie Jie Jie... Thacker is already dead, what else can the family hand over? Of course it is you.
These unlucky people are the scapegoats!"
"But Grandpa Thacker is the most famous elite wizard in the family, and the contract he signed with the family also contains necessary provisions to protect future generations. Does the family want to violate the contract?" Celia was already shouting at the top of her voice.
"Humph, the contract signed by Thacker does have such content. Unfortunately, don't forget, Thacker did not die during the family mission, but he ran out and secretly took over a killing mission, and instead lost himself in it.
Now the family has been made very passive!"
"What did the family elders say?"
"This matter was completely caused by Thacker, and the family has no obligation to bear the consequences for him. Therefore, the result of the negotiation between the family and the association is that the territory and industry owned by Thacker need to be handed over to that boy from the Salupo family. And you
…You descendants of Thacker bloodline need to be handed over as well.”
Having said this, Isaac glanced at the two of them coldly: "And in order to prevent the family blood from being lost, the family has specially appointed me to recover the giant snake blood from your Sak branch!"
The faces of the young men and women in the room instantly turned pale.
In order to enrich the bloodline power, any blood wizard family will divide into some foreign branches on the basis of the family branch, and use this method to absorb some powerful foreign wizards to serve their family. In some cases, these foreign descendants
Branches will also be given part of the family bloodline, but once a foreign member violates the family's interests, the bloodline may be brutally withdrawn.
And the recycling process is extremely cruel and terrifying!
Under the double oppression of the Salubo family and the Sand Tallinn Association, the Seaman family was forced to hand over members of the Thacker wizard line for the other party to vent their anger. However, the Seaman family did not want their family bloodline to fall into the hands of outsiders.
That's why Isaac was sent to Wyrick Castle to preside over the recycling ceremony.
It's night.
Celia, who awakened the power of blood in the Thacker family, was taken to the secret room of the main castle, and her shrill and terrifying wailing lasted all night long, and then fell silent until dawn.
Twelve days later.
All thirty-seven members of the Thacker family were sent to Fedenan City, and the title deeds to Wyrick Castle, Vandil City and the surrounding ten miles of land were also sent to the Sarupo family.
According to the prior agreement, Vandire City belonged to the Salubo family, and Greem obtained Wyrick Castle and the surrounding three miles of land. At the same time, five members of the Thacker family were also given to Greem.
A blood descendant with an awakened bloodline and four family apprentices.
As for the remaining thirty people, they have been dealt with by the Sarupo family, including the direct grandson of Wizard Sak. Since he has no power in his body, in the eyes of outsiders, he is almost the same as an ordinary person.
Therefore, he was executed before he even had a chance to be presented to Grim.
In his residence on the seventh floor of the Wizard Tower, Greem personally inspected this group of five slaves.
Originally, he heard that one of the five people sent had awakened the power of blood, and Greem was a little excited. But when he saw the few people being escorted into the room, his mood suddenly turned bad.
The woman in the lead is clearly fifteen years old on the information, but judging from her dull and gray eyes and her old and sagging facial skin, she should be an old woman in her sixties or seventies. And inside her body
, Greem could not sense the slightest breath of bloodline power, nor could he sense any breath of elemental power.
She...she seems to be an ordinary person. No, she is a premature aging person who is more miserable than ordinary people!
Damn it, that He-Man family did such a great job that they completely drained the power of her bloodline from her body, leaving not a single trace for herself.
Such a blood relative of Thacker can only be killed directly. No one wants to leave behind the descendants of the enemy, and then come back for revenge decades later. Without the power of blood, she is not even qualified to be a research subject for Greem.
Greem shook his head helplessly and could only move his gaze back.
The Salupo family has already investigated the remaining four apprentices, and they have no blood connection with Thacker. They only rely on Thacker to obtain knowledge and resources, so there is no need to kill them all.
After forcing them to sign a new service contract, Grim threw them to Alice, who had just come back, and asked her to take them back to Wyrick Castle and carefully clean up the property and servants there.
The bloodline of Thacker's descendants was recycled, and Greem could only grit his teeth and endure it. If even the resources and personal collections left by Thacker in the castle were "recycled", Greem would have no choice but to find members of the He-Man family.
Said, said.
After dealing with Thacker's matter, the next thing that worries Greem the most is the escaped female illusionist.
Greem always has a feeling that she is the key to solving the mystery of the interception!
After returning to the wizard tower and thinking about that night, Greem felt that the whole thing was not that simple. The body-refining wizard Bloodhand Butcher may be related to the Black Hand Association, but the Thacker wizard of the Heman family is definitely not from the Black Hand Association.
All you can do is ask.
Vaguely, Greem felt that there seemed to be another mastermind behind the matter, and what they were plotting was not all about him. It seemed that they also included... Alice.
This can be seen from the fact that they only showed the Bloody Hand Butcher entangling themselves at the beginning, while the other two main combatants went to strangle Alice and Kirby.
Kirby relies on his invisibility and partial transformation skills that are difficult for ordinary people to survive, while Alice's survival relies on luck.
To be honest, even Greem couldn't imagine that a quasi-witch could escape from the elite wizard's talent attack. If it weren't for the Void Stone that Greem gave her, I'm afraid all he would see in the end would be a completely petrified person.
Alice statue.
Judging from all these signs, it seems that the other party prioritizes ensuring that the person killed is Alice, not himself.
This explains the problem!
Moreover, the pursuit of the female illusionist has never yielded any real results. After searching the entire Sand Tallin area, it seems that a person with such a figure and appearance has never been heard of. This made Greem unable to help but suspect that what she revealed that night
What it looks like may not be what it is.
Why did the other party deliberately hide his identity?
