Chapter 1278 The War is Coming
Ice Dragon Heart, 4th-level material...
This is the dragon heart that the ice dragon Nax had saved before he made up his mind to transform his soul.
It must be said that Nax was very careful in preserving the parts he had taken off his body. This can be seen from the ice materials and methods used to seal the heart, all of which are high-end goods.
And the consequence of Nax's doing this is that... Grimm undoubtedly harvested a high-grade 4th-level witchcraft material.
It can only be a witchcraft material!
If a dragon material like the ice dragon heart falls into the hands of a high-level alchemist, it is very likely to be processed into a treasure like the ice heart, which can add ice damage and deep freezing effects to the user's attack.
If it falls into the hands of a puppeteer, it can be used as a high-quality ice material to be loaded into a high-level constructed puppet or himself as a source of power for battle.
In addition, it can also be added to the body of an alien beast or a witch beast, giving the wizard an extremely powerful witchcraft slave.
As for Grimm, after deep calculations on the chip, he felt that it would be more cost-effective to sacrifice the Ice Dragon Heart as a 4th-level material to nourish his Star Beast bloodline.
At this level, Grimm has already maximized his own advantages, and all aspects that can be strengthened have been strengthened. From now on, his strength growth has also entered a slow period.
The only things that can effectively improve his basic strength are mental power, soul origin, and bloodline talent.
Among them, mental power relies on daily deep meditation. Although the effect is not great, it is at least slowly improving. Deep meditation that used to be effective now often takes one or two months to see a slight increase.
However, now with the help of the Book of Darkness, Grimm can also rely on continuous reading to improve his mental power in addition to meditation. At this point, his progress speed is undoubtedly dozens of times faster than those ordinary 4th-level wizards.
The improvement of the soul origin is a great blessing that can only be encountered by chance.
According to the chip's estimation, Grimm only needs to collect enough fire laws and use the method provided by the Fire King to refine them into his own fire of laws. The moment the fire of laws is ignited, it is the moment when Grimm is promoted to level 5, and the moment when his soul origin is sublimated again.
There is no other way!
As for the third blood talent, there is no other shortcut to its improvement, which is to constantly devour the flesh and blood of high-level creatures rich in the breath of laws.
Those wild star beasts wander in the boundless sea of stars all their lives, looking for every plane world they can attack. And their only purpose of breaking into the plane world is to devour flesh and blood, plunder souls, and then absorb the plane origin lost from the plane world.
However, in essence, the star beasts actually devour those fragmented plane laws.
The law fragments that ordinary plane creatures regard as life poisons are the top delicacies that star beasts dream of. Not only can they eat, but they can also digest and absorb. They can extract the corresponding law power from the broken law fragments and transform it into strange abilities that suit them.
The reason why star beasts are so powerful is that they have been a typical law creature since they became adults, and their life and soul levels are far higher than most plane creatures.
Therefore, if Grimm wants to improve his star beast bloodline and make the chaotic physique derived from the star beast bloodline stronger, he must often find some high-value, "high-nutrition" biological flesh and blood to nourish.
The Ice Dragon Heart undoubtedly meets this requirement!
The blood sacrifice ceremony prepared for the Quetzalcoatl last time was not used, but it is extremely appropriate to use it on the Ice Dragon Heart this time.
However, just as Grimm was carefully preparing the special items needed for the blood sacrifice ceremony in the secret room of his residence, an urgent message from the outside world forced him to stop his work and withdraw from the secret room.
The message was sent by Amelia.
Gargamel and Emilia knew Grimm well, so they naturally knew that he hated outside interference the most when he was in seclusion. Therefore, Emilia chose this time to send an urgent message through the reserved special channel, which undoubtedly indicated that there were some extremely important things in the outside world that Grimm had to deal with personally.
Therefore, as soon as Grimm read the message, a hint of sternness flashed across his calm face.
"... Conflicts broke out on the border... Conflicts continued to escalate... The Denel family began to increase its troops... The border town of Amman has fallen into the hands of the enemy... The Crimson Grand Duke Antonel fell into it..."
The Denel family...
Grimm couldn't help but ponder.
That was a powerful wizard family with the 4th-level witch Clara.
Since he was promoted to the 4th level, his relationship with Clara was also acceptable. Although there was no close connection, seeing that they were both 4th-level forces, both sides still retained a trace of restraint and tolerance.
In the past hundred years, the expansion and extension of the Crimson Family deliberately avoided the territory of the Denel Family, and even its affiliated forces were not touched at all.
Under such circumstances, the other party suddenly attacked. Even if Grimm had no evidence or intelligence, he could smell the smell of conspiracy!
It seems that the stimulation brought by the Horton Witchcraft Academy to some guys is still very strong, and even forced them to step out from behind the scenes and have the courage to fight against the Crimson Family.
Moreover, these guys also held a Crimson Grand Duke in their hands, which was obviously an attempt to incite the Crimson Family's anger.
Since the emergence of the Crimson Kingdom, a huge human kingdom, there have been three kings. However, there are still only five Crimson Grand Dukes who have been publicly canonized, and they represent the five affiliated forces that have split off from the Crimson Family.
Therefore, these Crimson Grand Dukes are just ordinary human nobles, and they are actually nothing within the Crimson Family. But externally, they represent the face and dignity of the Crimson family.
Since the other party has detained a crimson grand duke, this is obviously what they have in mind.
It makes it impossible for the Crimson family to stay out of the situation and pretend to be deaf and dumb, but it also leaves room for them to avoid completely falling apart. Otherwise, if they detain a level 2 crimson wizard, the effect would be much higher than that of the crimson grand duke.
What does this Clara want to do? Could it be that she wanted to be used by a few old guys in the association to become a sharp blade against the Crimson Family and herself? Hehe, they are taking action now, don’t you think it’s a little late? …
While endlessly guessing, Greem strode towards the transfer room.
Since these enemies did not intend to let him live in seclusion safely, it was time for the Crimson Family to launch a strong counterattack. He will use the most ferocious and wild witchcraft flames to warn those careerists and conspirators that he, Grim, is not someone they can mess with.
…………
The small town of Amman.
An unknown border town on the southwest border of the Ellowes region.
The ignited fire has not been completely extinguished, and the billowing smoke is floating over the small town, dyeing the sky gray.
The originally quiet and simple town was now in deathly silence. All the doors and windows on both sides of the streets were closed tightly. Countless eyes full of doubts and horror were projected from the gaps in the doors and windows, secretly observing the strange things walking through the streets of the small town. army.
This is the wizard army belonging to the Denel family. Each strong and solid wizard apprentice is riding on a tall magic horse, wearing a thick armor covered with strange runes, while patrolling the streets. , while coldly scanning the residences on both sides of the street.
From time to time they rushed into the residence and drove the residents and merchants inside to the streets, making them kneel on both sides of the road like slaves. Anyone who dares to contradict or resist will be summarily executed.
Corpses hanging on the walls and beams are the only fate for those who resist!
They were searching for the crimson nobles who had hid in the small city and the crimson wizards who had escaped. All suspects were sent to the dungeon in the city lord's palace for custody.
And in the sky, wizards riding giant double-headed eagles were constantly circling, closely monitoring and guarding the entire town.
In an exquisite noble manor half a mile outside the city, a large number of wizards from the Denel family came in and out, apparently considering this place as their core stronghold.
The main body of the manor is a three-story wooden building, which is now tightly protected by numerous wizard beasts and wizard guards.
Second floor.
In a tightly guarded room.
Antonel put down the wooden window bitterly, withdrew his gaze from peeping outside, and paced around the room anxiously.
Wizard Sterling, who was leaning on the sofa and reading a witchcraft book quietly, couldn't help but chuckled and said: "Grand Duke, please don't be upset! Since the matter has reached this point, there is no need to worry about it anymore." It’s all we can stop and control.”
Antonel, who was pacing, suddenly stopped, listened to the movement in the corridor outside, and then muttered dissatisfied: "You can see clearly, but I can't! This time we made a mistake. I fell into a trap and fell into the hands of the Denel family, and I don’t know how the family will react once the war breaks out..."
The Crimson Family and the Denel Family are both famous Tier 4 forces in the central part of the continent, and the Crimson Family is a unique super family. Under such circumstances, if a war broke out between the two sides, the terrible consequences would be simply unimaginable.
Even with his qualifications and status as the Crimson Grand Duke, he cannot bear this heavy pressure!
As a consultant wizard hired by Antonel, Sterling obviously has much higher knowledge than his employer. Hearing this, he even said calmly: "Why, Your Majesty, the Grand Duke, you still think that this war is our mistake. Caused?"
"Is there any other reason?"
"Haha..." Sterling chuckled in a low voice: "You really think highly of you and me! To tell you the truth, even if you and I are added together, we are not qualified to provoke such a wizard war. This It is a wizard war, not a secular territorial war. The main subject of this battle is not you and me, but..."
Having said this, Sterling closed his mouth, but looked through the wall and the manor to the northeast.
That place... is the Holy Land of the Crimson Family, and also the place where the legendary head of the family, Grim, lives in seclusion!
