In a magical secret room, the crimson manager Gargamel was listening to the report of his subordinates with a gloomy expression. The cute and beautiful wizard girl Amelia was sitting next to him, playing with something boringly.
An exquisite natural pendant.
The five subordinates were dressed in the attire of mercenaries and adventurers respectively. It seemed that they had chosen to join the peripheral forces of the Crimson Family. And in the corner of the secret room, there was a gloomy guy wrapped in a black robe, standing out of reach of the light.
In the darkness, as silent as a piece of wood.
"...He is the eldest son of the Andorra family and has the first line of succession..."
"...When he left the Sand Tallinn Association, he was received by the elders of the association, but it is unknown what they talked about..."
"...He was accompanied by two family wizards, both of whom were only level 1..."
"...It is said that he has a lord's identity certificate issued by the association..."
"...I am rushing to the Throne of Fire now. I may stay in Giethoorn tonight..."
Several subordinates exchanged words with each other, and all the information revolved around the new lord of the association who was about to take office.
As the human settlement slowly takes shape, the honeymoon period between the Throne of Fire and the Sand Tallinn Association has officially ended. For a long time to come, the Sand Tallinn Association will choose to bully the Flame Throne to force them to join the association obediently.
, become a member of it.
And this is obviously inconsistent with the development tone set by the head of the family, Grim!
Of course, a lame trick of blatant provocation is unlikely to happen. However, once a new lord takes office and remains hostile to the Throne of Fire, the Crimson Family's material replenishment and resource transactions will be greatly affected.
This must also be a strategy of Sandi Tallinn.
If the Sand Tallinn Association fails to select a suitable lord, then the Crimson Family represented by the Throne of Fire will rely on the advantage of the Witch Tower to extend the family's influence to every piece of land and every person in the Ellowis region.
.
From now on, any human or monster who wants to live and develop here must look at the Crimson Family's face. Without the Crimson Family's nod, it will always be difficult for them to gain a foothold here.
But once the new lords sent by the Sand Tallinn Association appear in the Ellowis area, the Crimson Family can only control their influence within ten miles of the Throne of Fire in accordance with the witchcraft contract signed with the association. In this way, there is no doubt that
It will cause it to lose nearly two hundred kilometers of forest resources south of the Throne of Fire.
After this part of the black forest has been continuously 'purified' by the Wu Pagoda, it is no longer a danger to human beings. It is basically a 'cooked land' that is most suitable for development. Abandoning it in vain will undoubtedly be a huge loss for the Crimson Family.
Moreover, the Flame Throne is deep inside the Black Forest, and the territory immediately behind it does not belong to itself, but to a human noble who is deeply hostile to him.
This... will undoubtedly make the Crimson Family very uncomfortable!
Use a human noble to guard the Crimson Family's only channel to the outside world, and use this method to slowly torture the new wizard family. If one of the Crimson Family cannot help but choose to fight back, then the Sand Tallin hidden behind the scenes will
The association will jump in as a peacemaker to make peace.
Of course, no matter how much mediation is done, the final result will not be beneficial to the Crimson Family.
Anyway, there are so many human nobles, so the Crimson Family can kill them if they want. After killing them, the Crimson Family will probably have to pay an unimaginably high price!
Therefore, as a stumbling block sent by the Sand Tallinn Association to squeeze out the Crimson Family, this new lord is undoubtedly extremely miserable. He is destined to sacrifice his life to gain something for the Sand Tallinn Association that is not available on the table.
Benefit.
Therefore, the Crimson Family, who had received the information in advance, were full of rejection and disgust towards the arrival of this new lord.
It's just that this poor guy is just a bait thrown out by the other party. Killing him will only allow the Sand Tallinn Association to find a suitable entry point in the Ellowes area. If the Sand Tallinn Association really lets its black hands reach out,
This area is undoubtedly very detrimental to the long-term development of the Crimson Family!
So even if the new lord is just an ordinary noble, Gargamel, as the Crimson Supervisor, still has to treat him with caution.
"Father, if you don't like that human lord, I can just go and kill him. Why bother?" Amelia, who was sitting on one side, asked in confusion. A man who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old
She looks like a 20-year-old human girl, but she doesn't feel nervous or cautious when talking about killing people. She seems to be as relaxed and comfortable as having an afternoon tea.
"Can't be killed easily!" Gargamel sighed helplessly: "He may be insignificant, but the Andor family he belongs to is an affiliated force of the Brebant family, the five major wizarding families in Tallinn. Once the cause of death is traced, the other party will
This will give you an excuse to extend your black hands into the territory of our Crimson Family."
"Then just create some trouble for him so that he can't gain a foothold here." Amelia said disdainfully: "Those human nobles are all indolent, extravagant and lustful guys. The environment here is so bad. Seeing him...
How long can I hold on..."
Gargamel deeply agreed with his daughter's proposal.
The wizards also know very well the virtues of those human nobles. It is simply wishful thinking to expect them to start from scratch with the poor and humble villagers.
After hundreds of thousands of years of class solidification, the ruling order established by the wizards is simply impossible for civilians without any extraordinary power to resist. Therefore, as the minions and lackeys of the wizards, these human nobles have also become human superiors.
People enjoy a luxurious life that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
As the first heir of the family, Baron Wilms was actually selected to this place. People have to suspect that he may have become a victim of the internal fighting in his family and was thrown away like a chess piece.
come out.
He was accompanied by two family wizards, which further confirmed Gargamel's knowledge.
With the protection of wizards, it is even less likely that Wilms will die in an accident or from the mouth of a jungle beast. In the entire Ellowis area, only the Crimson family can kill him under the protection of two wizards.
Has such great strength.
He couldn't be killed, but he couldn't be allowed to act recklessly here and reduce the actual control of the Crimson Family. So Gargamel frowned, and then smiled coldly.
"Take these... remember to find a way to put them in the new lord's food. One pill a day for a month..." Gargamel took out a vial of medicine from his arms and put it in
It was thrown to a man dressed as a thief. Seeing the shrinking and hesitant expression on the other person's face, Gargamel immediately comforted him: "Don't worry, this is not poison. As long as it is blended into the food, even the two wizards will detect it."
Not coming out or anything.”
As for the rest, Gargamel didn't say much to these men.
Amelia on the side took a few sniffs and quickly identified the function of this bottle of medicine based on the smell of the medicine floating in the air.
Mind-blowing potion!
This is a witchcraft potion extracted from psychedelic grass. Taking it once or twice will not cause any harm to the human body. Instead, it will give people a sense of relaxation and indulgence. Taking it more often
, can easily lead to mental dependence on the receptor, leading to drug addiction.
Of course, this 'trivial' side effect is completely useless to wizards, but for humans with weak mental control, it is very terrifying!
If it weren't for today's incident, it would be impossible for Gargamel as a pharmacist to refine this kind of witchcraft potion for a mortal. Only this kind of potion can escape the wizard's 'poison detection' and be successfully delivered.
From the mouth of Baron Wilms.
After dealing with matters related to the new lord in a simple and clear manner, several subordinates reported on the latest situation in the black forest area north of the Flame Throne Witch Tower.
According to the feedback from mercenaries and adventurers, a group of evil eyes appeared near the Misty Mountains. There are probably more than 200 evil eyes in number. They occupy an underground cave there and frequently come out to harass the place...
In Crystal Canyon, some good-quality crystal mines were also discovered. However, there are a group of harpies there. The number is not large, only about a hundred or so, but it is more than enough to deal with the average team of adventurers...
The group of wyverns and the wyvern king that originally occupied the Throne of Fire knew they were unable to fight against the wizards, so they were forced to move to the depths of the Black Forest. After several years of searching and exploration, the wyverns
The new lair address was also found by the adventurers...
…
As the chief executive of the Crimson Family, Gargamel needs to arrange every trivial matter one by one. But there is no way, the entire Crimson Family is almost full of combat wizards, and all family wizards are not hiding in their residences.
Living in a simple way in the laboratory means running around searching for necessary knowledge and resources.
Seriously speaking, there are very few wizards who can be as diligent as Gargamel and spend a lot of time on these mundane tasks.
It is precisely because they understand that no one can replace Gargamel's status, so even those family wizards whose wizard level is higher than Gargamel must be polite when facing him and dare not show any slightness to him.
And Greem was well aware of the importance of Gargamel's existence, and even dispatched a group of 30 metal magic weapons to protect him. This caused Gargamel to be greeted by a large group of metal magic weapons when he was going out to do errands.
They crowded around him, it was so grand that it was indescribable.
As for Gargamel, he also knows his own value, so he works harder and harder for the Crimson Family! (To be continued)
