Chapter 0723 Crimson Butler

Throne of Fire, third floor.

In a magical secret room, the crimson manager Gargamel was listening to the report of his subordinates with a gloomy expression. The pretty and lovely 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. At first glance, they seemed to have 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 in a dark place where the light could not reach, as silent as a piece of wood.

"...He is the eldest son of the Andor 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 of the Throne of Fire and the Sand Tallinn Association is officially over. For a long period of time in the future, the Sand Tower Forest Association will choose to oppress the Throne of Fire in order to force them to join the association obediently and become a member of it.

And this is obviously not consistent with the development tone set by the family leader Greem!

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 act according to the Crimson Family's face. Without the Crimson Family’s nod, it would have been 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, it will undoubtedly lose the forest resources of nearly two hundred kilometers 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 harmful to humans, and it is basically a 'cooked land' that is most suitable for development. Throwing it away in vain would undoubtedly be a huge loss for the Crimson Family.

Moreover, the Throne of Fire penetrated deep into the Black Forest, and the territory immediately behind it did not belong to him, but to a human noble who was 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 this new wizard family. If one member of the Crimson family couldn't help but choose to fight back, then the Sand Tallinn Association hidden behind the scenes would jump out 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 a lot of human nobles, so the Crimson Family can kill them if they want. After the killing, the Crimson Family may 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 was destined to sacrifice his life in order to gain some benefits for the Sandi Tallinn Association that were not available on the table.

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 is really allowed to extend its black hands into this area, it will undoubtedly be 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. She looks like a human girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, but when it comes to killing people, she doesn't feel nervous or cautious at all. 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 wizard families in Tallinn. Once the cause of death is traced, the other party will This will give you an excuse to extend your dark 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 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 was 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 masters, enjoying a luxurious life that ordinary people can't imagine.

And this Baron Wilms, as the first heir to the family, was actually selected to this place, which makes 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 wizard's protection, Wilms was less likely to die by accident or from the mouth of a jungle beast. In the entire Ellowis region, only the Crimson Family had such powerful strength that could kill him under the protection of the two wizards.

He can't be killed, but he can'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 henchman dressed as a thief. Seeing the shrinking and hesitant expression on the other party's face, Gargamel immediately comforted him: "Don't worry, this is not poison. As long as it blends into the food, even the two wizards can't detect it."

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 in spiritual emptying. Taking it too 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 hadn't been for today's incident, it would have been impossible for Gargamel, as a pharmacist, to refine this kind of witchcraft potion for a mortal. Only this kind of potion could escape the wizard's 'poison detection' and be successfully delivered into the mouth of Baron Wilms.

After dealing with matters related to the new lord in a simple and clear manner, several subordinates reported the latest situation in the black forest area north of the Flame Throne Witch Tower.

According to 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 is a group of harpies gathered 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 flying dragons and flying dragon kings that were originally entrenched near the Throne of Fire were forced to move deep into the Black Forest after they realized that they were unable to fight against the wizards. After several years of searching and exploration, the adventurers found the new lair address of the flying dragons...

…

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. All family wizards are either hiding in their residences and laboratories, or running around in search of 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 position, so even those family wizards whose wizard level is higher than Gargamel must be polite when facing him and dare not show any slighting.

And Greem knew the importance of Gargamel's existence, and specially dispatched a group of 30 metal magic weapons to protect him. This made Gargamel go out to do errands, and a large group of metal magic machines surrounded 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!
