Chapter 1217 Undercurrent

Alice's recovery was just like her being plotted against, and almost no one knew about it from beginning to end.

At least, except for a few people who were interested, not many people knew the whole story.

After being closed for half a month, the Tower of Destiny returned to people's sight again.

Unconsciously, the combination of the legendary fire wizard Grimm, the blood queen Mary, and the leader of the witches of destiny Alice, this trinity actually formed a small circle that frightened the world.

Level 4... three level 4...

If placed in the three major wizard organizations, it is indeed nothing. But if placed in an obscure wizard family, it is a bit shocking.

At least after hearing the news of Mary's promotion, the entire Sandi Tallin actually showed a strange situation of being hot outside and cold inside. Those small and medium-level wizard families were extremely excited, thinking that this was a sign that the wizard group in the central part of the continent was about to prosper and become powerful, and also a sign that a powerful wizard was about to appear.

The emergence of this powerful wizard will also reverse the situation in which the central part of the continent lacks a necessary core and is always a mess!

However, the eager expectations of the middle and low-level wizards are in contrast to the reactions of the high-level wizards.

Since ancient times, the Sanditalin region in the central part of the continent has been a loose alliance dominated by wizard families, each ruling and managing its own territory. With this model, they have resisted the invasion and infiltration of the three major wizard organizations and successfully continued this tradition for thousands of years.

Now, a Crimson family suddenly emerged in the Sanditalin Association, which actually has two 4th-level wizards. Moreover, what makes the other 4th-level wizards feel even more headache is that these two 4th-level wizards are actually a couple.

This... is a bit beyond the tolerance of the Sanditalin Association!

It's not that the Sanditalin Association cannot have a core, but it's better not to appear while you are still alive...

After all, the emergence of the core means the tilt of resources, territory, and power.

In this process, the existing power structure of Sanditalin will definitely undergo an earth-shaking change.

If all these things gather towards the so-called core, Sanditalin may also have a huge force similar to the three major wizard organizations.

And this is something that all high-level wizards do not want to see!

First of all, the three existing wizard organizations in the wizard world: the Silver Alliance, the Northern Witches, and the Wizard Association will not allow it.

The three major wizard organizations are not really unable to swallow the Sanditalin area, but they are worried that the invasion will trigger fierce resistance from local wizard families, which will cause their own strength to be damaged. In this way, they broke a few teeth, but it may be cheaper for the other two competitors who are also eyeing them.

It is precisely because of this concern that the three major wizard organizations secretly reached an agreement that they are not allowed to touch or invade the central area, and regard the Sanditalin area as their buffer zone.

However, if they do not invade, they will never allow Sanditalin to have another powerful wizard organization that can be compared with them. Therefore, once the core appears, it will inevitably face various attacks from them, whether open or hidden!

Secondly, let alone external forces, even the people in Sanditalin probably don’t want to see the emergence of a similar ‘core’.

Without the core, the 4th-level wizards are still the kings and overlords of their regions, and they have the final say and monopolize all the resources. But once the core appears, the resources, territories and power in their hands will inevitably be invaded by the outside world.

Rather than being a member of a huge wizard organization and obeying the orders of a powerful wizard, it is better to be the king of the land and have the final say.

Therefore, for the core, the 4th-level wizards in Sanditalin are probably the most repulsive and least willing to see its appearance!

Secondly, there are more than one 4th-level wizards who have the dream of the core.

As a veteran 4th-level wizard, Fried, the president of the Sanditalin Association, has spent nearly a thousand years to create the current situation. Doesn’t he want to build the Sanditalin Association into a powerful force similar to the three major wizard organizations?

It's not that I don't want to, but it's really hard to do it...

There are thirteen local 4th-level wizards in the central part of the continent, all of whom are old guys who have been tempered and cultivated for hundreds of years. Although their strengths are strong and weak, it is almost impossible for those strong ones to completely suppress any of them.

This means that once any two 4th-level wizards go to war, it is difficult to achieve a quick victory. The most likely situation is that both sides will suffer losses, and the two wizard families will decline at the same time!

It is precisely this balance of power that has allowed the central part of the continent to maintain a certain degree of delicate balance.

Although Fried spent a lot of effort to build the Sanditalin Association and even won over the vice president Milva. But in essence, Milva is only slightly closer to him.

Once Fried wants to start a rumbling high-level war to try to unify and integrate the entire Sanditalin area. By then, Milva will not support him, or to what extent she will support him... This is an unpredictable thing!

It was precisely because this matter was so difficult and the road to success was full of thorns that Fried could only maintain a Sanditalin Association that was cooperative and united on the surface. But behind the scenes, each of the 4th-level wizards still looked after themselves, and it was difficult to integrate and deploy high-level resources and overall strength.

However, in such a situation, Grimm suddenly appeared, and the Crimson Family rose strongly, which brought this ancient and terrible problem back to the public.

Can Grimm become the so-called core? Does he have the heart to become such a core... These questions need answers!

Therefore, while the Crimson Family is thriving, various conspiracies and calculations have followed one after another, becoming a terrible problem that troubles Grimm.

…………

Central continent, Kadatheron area.

Blood Castle.

The castle is located deep in a not very high mountain range, with only a winding forest path leading to the Red Maple Town outside the mountain.

The town has a population of nearly a thousand, and the infrastructure is basically complete.

For a long time, the Vick family, a rather ancient vampire family, has occupied and ruled this territory.

The Blood Castle is their residence, and the nearby Red Maple Town is the blood food they have worked hard to raise and cultivate. In order to maintain their rule in public and not scare away the people because of the rumor of bloodsucking, the Vick family was very restrained in hunting blood food!

Unfortunately, in a wizard family war, the Vick family was completely defeated.

Not only did their blood master die at the hands of the enemy, but even the foundation of the entire Vick family was cut off by the enemy. As a result, all the hereditary territories belonging to the Vick family fell into the hands of outsiders.

The only ones who could occupy the Vick family's territory so quickly were naturally other vampire families.

And this blood castle changed hands three times before it fell into the hands of the powerful Heinesen family. However, now with the sudden appearance of Mary, all vampire families either moved outside the central part of the continent or could only obediently surrender to Mary.

Therefore, after a long journey, the Blood Castle, which once represented the pride of the Vick family, was also dedicated to Mary by the Henessen family, becoming the most important stronghold of the Crimson Family vampire branch in the central part of the continent.

The eerie Blood Castle is composed of five castle fortresses of different styles, and has the dual functions of aristocratic castles and military fortresses. Four of the small fortresses distributed around it did not consider comfort and leisure at all, but focused on defense alone.

Therefore, these fortresses were built very firmly, and the entrances and exits and doors and windows were strangely narrow. Most passages can barely allow a fully armed guard to pass through, and those located in the core areas of attack and defense are densely covered with various bunkers, secret passages and hidden shooting ports.

The entire periphery of the Blood Castle has greatly improved the physical defense here at the expense of all comfort and entertainment. It can be said bluntly that only two or three hundred elite warriors are needed, and the Blood Castle is enough to rely on these fortresses to resist the siege of thousands of enemies.

The main body of the castle, which is guarded by four fortresses, is built beautifully and magnificently.

The vampire family's morbid temperament of pursuing perfection, elegance and nobility is undoubtedly reflected in this building. If it were not far away from the world, if the atmosphere here was not too weird and gloomy, perhaps many visitors would regard this place as a castle for the nobles to relax and entertain.

The main hall on the second floor of the castle is now crowded with guests and very lively.

Those who can shuttle here are naturally vampires wearing exquisite aristocratic costumes.

Most male vampires are dressed in a straight tuxedo, a red bow tie, a gentleman's hat on their heads, a civilized cane in their hands, and a very delicate mustache under their noses. Female vampires are all dressed in gorgeous and gorgeous one-piece dresses, wearing sun hats of different colors, soft and thin silk gloves on their wrists, and delicate and small high heels on their feet.

They were all well-dressed and polite, showing the gentle temperament and arrogant manners of human nobles.

Unfortunately, in such an occasion, they were just little minions and lackeys who obeyed others. The big guys who really decided the future of vampires gathered in the secret room on the third floor, arguing fiercely.

"With the strength of our vampire family, we can definitely establish a new wizard family. Lady Mary, do you think we should just break away from the Crimson Family and take the Blood Castle as our origin..."

A vampire with a strength of only level 2 was making an impassioned speech, but before he finished speaking, he was crossed by a blood light, and the whole person instantly exploded into a puff of purple-black blood.
