Limited Free Chapter 0322 Joy and Sorrow

A small banquet was held in Grim's residence.

There was a long table filled with exquisite food, and a few twenty or thirty figures.

Although the number of people was not large, the atmosphere at the scene was very warm.

Whether they were those staying in the wizard tower or the family wizards stationed outside, they had all arrived one after another, with several apprentices leading behind each of them. Those who can be taken by a formal wizard are either quasi-witches who are prepared to be carefully trained, or senior apprentices with outstanding talents.

The ones responsible for the reception were Grim's five apprentices and Goblin Kirby.

Although very busy, Kedar and others were full of excitement and enthusiastically served everyone present. Every once in a while, their eyes would involuntarily drift towards the beautiful girl who was active among the wizards.

Yes, after being promoted to a witch, Alice still did not break through the body seal of an eight-year-old girl, and her figure and appearance still remained that of her eight-year-old self. Therefore, for such a 'little' guy to be among a group of official wizards in black robes or red robes, how could he look inconsistent!

But no matter how many apprentices were present, no one would dare to make fun of this.

Alice's current status is completely different from theirs.

Once you become an official wizard, even if you are just a new wizard, an invisible but real class gap has been drawn between you and their group of apprentices.

Although there are rumors outside, Alice has lost all her witchcraft abilities after becoming a witch and became a pure fortune teller. But a wizard is a wizard! No matter how weak the opponent is, it is only for the group of wizards.

For this group of apprentices, the other party is still an insurmountable mountain above their heads!

Wizards have a circle of wizards, and apprentices have a circle of apprentices.

When the wizards gathered together to chat, a group of apprentices also gathered together in twos and threes, discussing interesting things and rumors happening in and around the family territory.

Some sociable apprentices even took the opportunity to walk back and forth inside, trying to make friends with people with outstanding potential.

Three days ago, Alice was just a wizard apprentice like them, but now, she has become a big shot that they must treat with respect. Such inspiring stories obviously inspired the enthusiasm and passion of every apprentice, and also made the atmosphere in the venue become more and more heated.

"Alice, congratulations!" The first person to congratulate Alice in person was Kil, the body-refining wizard resident in Fedenan City, and he even took out a small and exquisite handful from his arms, with a fist-sized green inlaid on the top. Songshi's magic wand: "This is a ghost scepter, with a wizard-level evil spirit sealed inside. It is very effective for self-defense. This is my gift to you!"

"Thank you!" Alice happily accepted the gift with a sweet smile on her face.

Wizard Ferrier, who was standing beside him, rolled his eyes at Keir and said sweetly: "I didn't expect you to be so good at pleasing girls, Keel. In that case, I have to give you a gift. Here, Ellie Silk, this is a bottle of hydration potion that can keep your skin moisturized and smooth for a long time. You have just completed the promotion, and it is the stage where your body needs to be recuperated..."

"Thank you, Sister Ferrell!" The smile on Alice's face became even sweeter.

Seeing that both companions had taken out gifts, the remaining Corgan and Harrison couldn't help but smile bitterly at each other, and could only rummage through their own storage spaces.

In the end, what Corgan took out was a clear and pure white crystal, which was very suitable for making a crystal ball for divination. What Harrison gave Alice was a witchcraft flip ring, which can reflect a directional witchcraft to the caster. It can also be regarded as a good protective magic item.

Alice is obviously also a little 'money addict'. She suddenly got so many treasures and rare objects that she can't even open her eyes with laughter. Holding these things in both hands, I kept having fun there.

"Let's find another place to celebrate! We are here, and these little guys can't let go..." Greem smiled calmly and led several wizards into the secret room.

As these ‘old guys’ left, the atmosphere in the banquet hall instantly became heated. The apprentices who were suppressed by the wizard's aura were finally able to celebrate without restraint.

Several apprentices belonging to Grim's line and Goblin Kirby were surrounded by everyone. Everyone asked about the situation of "Wizard Alice", and the envy in their words was beyond words.

Due to the needs of the plane battlefield, family wizards are constantly being transferred to other planes. As a result, the number of resident wizards of the Salupo family in the Wizarding Continent has always been at a relatively low level. Each family wizard basically represents a huge power and interest.

Wizards may not particularly care about these things, but for the apprentices who stand behind the wizards, they represent huge interests that are too huge to give up.

If the Salupo family is compared to a huge swarm of whales, then the many wizard apprentices surrounding it are small fish, living off each other's leftover food scraps. If they can maintain a good interpersonal relationship with any of them, their personal benefits will be doubled.

There are not many resident wizards in the Sarupo family, but now the fire demon family only accounts for two. Then the quasi-witches under the fire demons such as Kodar and Meryl will undoubtedly increase, and they can get more resources from the family. .

Such hidden benefits are enough to make any young would-be witch jealous!

Ignoring the ups and downs among their apprentices, Grimm and his group of wizards simply gathered and talked for a few words before leaving. Although they were all wizards from the Sarupo family, everyone had their own secrets, and they would not easily share their personal research with others.

Therefore, the friendship between wizards was particularly weak, and it was more of a mutual use and investment!

The combat power of Grimm, the fire demon, is well known.

Whether it is the plane battlefield or the family war, his weight has far exceeded that of veteran wizards like Korgan. And Alice is a Northland witch who makes people jealous and excited, and she also carries the sacred halo of the candidate for the Witch of Destiny.

You know, once Alice becomes the Witch of Destiny, even if she is only a Level 1 witch, she will immediately have the same power and interests as those Level 4 witch leaders. According to ancient traditions and inheritance, the other witch factions must spit out the occupied territory of the Witch of Destiny and give the Witch of Destiny a chance to rise again!

This is a tradition and also a covenant!

When any witch faction rises again after experiencing ups and downs, other witch factions must provide necessary protection and support. It is with this tradition of mutual help that the thirteen witch factions will continue to be passed down and always firmly control the northern territory of the wizard continent.

So it is definitely worthwhile to invest appropriately in a witch candidate. However, if Alice wants to get the full support of the Salubo family, she may have to conduct more consultations and more exchanges of interests.

After all, the intelligence obtained by Sanaza showed that among the candidates for the selection of the fate witch this time, there are many elite descendants from other witch factions.

The reason why Angelina, the leader of the fraudulent witch, sent people to strangle Alice was because her direct granddaughter accidentally became the awakener of the fate witch bloodline. In order to ensure that her direct bloodline can successfully become the fate witch, she just sent a large number of people to strangle those awakeners who revealed their identities.

In the name of helping blood relatives, Angelina can also avoid the accusations of other witches that she intervened in the selection of the Fate Faction. Therefore, her actions seem so unscrupulous, even to the point of being unbearable.

With her as a huge mountain, some other wizard families or organizations will become hesitant when choosing who to support.

After all, Angelina herself is a 4th-level witch, and she has hundreds of formal witches under her. Such a heavy strength, no one dares to ignore it.

To be honest, if Grimm had not been deeply involved in the "fight for fate", with the strength of the Salupo family, they would not be willing to make any investment in Alice, a "mortal".

This can be seen from today's celebration banquet.

Several wizards gave Alice blessings and gifts on behalf of individuals, but Sanaza, the 3rd-level wizard representing the Salupo family, did not show up at all. The service contract signed between the Salupo family and Alice was only eight years long, just before the start of the "fight of fate".

This is enough to explain the attitude of the Salupo family!

They are not optimistic about Alice's "fate".

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Grimm's face, and Alice successfully became a wizard, I'm afraid the Salupo family would even have thought of handing over Alice's "apprentice" in exchange for some benefits from the fraudulent witch faction!

So when Alice smiled and sent away all the guests, said goodbye to Grimm, and returned to her residence alone, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn and distressed look.

Although she has a girl's body and appearance, she has a sharp mind of a sixteen-year-old girl.

The Salupo family's statement is so obvious, how could she not understand it!

Should she leave now without saying goodbye and hide in a deserted place, or should she take shelter under Grimm's wings and become his vassal from now on...

These doubts made her feel torn!

Although she was an apprentice witch of the Morya family, Alice knew it herself. This was not enough to make the leader of the pale witches stand up for her and confront Angelina head-on.

Witches have always been united.

Sometimes, in order to maintain this unity, it is inevitable to make some sacrifices internally.

One side is the direct descendant of the leader of the fraudulent witches, and the other side is an ordinary member of the pale witch tribe. If these two identities collide, if it is handed over to the witch council to decide, the decision made will definitely not be in Alice's favor.

So on the issue of returning to the Morya family and staying with Grimm, Alice was more determined than ever. At least, Grimm was sincerely protecting her and fighting for every chance of winning for her.

Alice still saw this very clearly! chapter;
