Age of Adepts

Songta Town.

As a human city developed from a wilderness town, the aborigines in the city are already very rare, and are gradually being replaced by a large influx of newcomers.

After all, the Flaming Throne Tower is a place for wizards to live and study, and it is not suitable for the family's increasingly busy internal affairs. Therefore, as early as twenty years ago, Gargamel had already moved his permanent office to the small town of Songta.

Since then, two centers of activity have emerged within the family.

Wizards and apprentices center on the Flame Throne Tower to carry out their own witchcraft research and family mission trials. The daily handover and dispute appeals of secular nobles and local resource points are handled in the small town of Songta.

Therefore, the small town of Songta, as the sub-center, has undergone a series of expansions and renovations. The original low-rise and old-fashioned buildings were all demolished, and all of them were built into rows of exquisite villas. And for the sake of privacy, each small building is equipped with an independent defensive witch formation and witchcraft barrier, which can isolate the outside world from detection.

Therefore, those wandering wizards or foreign apprentices who are not eligible to enter the Flame Throne Tower to study, prefer to rent a villa as their own residence. Even when dignitaries from all over the world come to Songta Town to have an audience with Master Gargamel, they have to stop here for a few days.

As the territory and affairs of the Crimson family became more and more complicated, the daily floating population of Songta Town was about one or two thousand people, and there were also 13,000 permanent staff. Such a large number of high-end people naturally drives consumption such as catering and entertainment in the small town.

It has to be said that Songta City, whose population can only barely reach the size of a small town, has the highest level and quality of life in all aspects, even in the entire Elovis area.

However, with the outbreak of the wizard war, almost all the outer territories of the Crimson family fell, so those dignitaries, wizards, and apprentices who were loyal to the family could only flee back to Pine Tower City in embarrassment.

For a time, all the high-end villas, inns, and hotels in the city were full of nobles and nobles from all over the world, but they still couldn't stop the influx of a large number of newcomers. In the end, a large number of magical tents with strange styles began to appear, and were quickly occupied by nobles who had nowhere to live.

All the landless nobles gathered in Songta City, running around every day to inquire about the situation ahead.

This was the last stop they could retreat to.

If... If the Crimson Family can't resist the other party's invasion, then with the fall of Pine Tower City, they will inevitably fall into the hands of the Fabres Family. Based on the previous enmity between the two parties and the brutality of the Fabres family, one can imagine with a little finger what will happen to these nobles who rejected the other party's recruitment.

Therefore, whenever a large-scale battle broke out in the south, everyone began to silently pray for the blessing of the god of luck.

If the Crimson family had won the victory and repelled the enemy's attack, then they rejoiced and were extremely excited. If the Crimson Clan loses the battle and loses a certain territory, they will cough and sigh, and the clouds will be clouded.

As the battle progressed every day, the hearts of many nobles in Songta City were also fluctuating, like a roller coaster, wandering between heaven and hell every day.

Villa area.

In an exquisite villa, dozens of goblin dignitaries in gorgeous costumes are arguing fiercely here.

"We can't go on like this anymore..." A guy in a straight military uniform who can tell at a glance that he is from the Musen Merchant Group who likes to do arms business waved his arms and shouted: "These days, our goblin family The sacrifices made have been great enough and cannot be continued..."

"Yes, yes..." A goblin soon echoed: "I have already counted, in the past month, as many as 200 artificers have died on the battlefield, and those human wizards? Dead Less than 5...it's not fair!"

"It's not fair or unfair!" An old goblin from a research institute with tortoiseshell glasses on his nose shook his head and said, "Human wizards like to fight under the protection of magical equipment, but our goblin warlocks are all rushing to fight in the first place." On the front line, the ratio of casualties is naturally different!"

"But most of the sacrifices in the war fell on us goblins, but their status is still not as good as those human wizards... We have to come forward to protest and fight for..."

"When? When? Now?" The old goblin raised his hand to support the mirror frame, a sarcasm smile appeared on his dark green face: "Are you sure you want to discuss with Lord Gargamel when the war is at its height?" The treatment of first-line artificers?"

Mentioning that insidious and vicious Gargamel, the goblins who shouted loudly just now became dumb, and said, "...Anyway, we want to fight for the interests of our compatriots..."

"Idiot! Benefits are obtained with blood and sweat, not with a loud voice..." A trace of pain flashed between the old goblin's brows and eyes: "We can only choose to cling to the Crimson family now, and want to win over the younger generation If we want to gain more interests, we must dare to fight and rush, and fight for it with real achievements and achievements, instead of trying to hold back."

Having said this, the old goblin raised his head and looked around at the many clansmen in the room, and said earnestly: "I know that some of you guys here have already contacted each other and got some promises. But, I need you to think carefully, If the Crimson Clan is really defeated, what do you plan to use as internal agents to supervise the implementation of the previous promise?"

The great goblin sage Kirby sat on the head with his legs crossed, letting the two beautiful girls around him pinch his shoulders, smoking a thick cigar, while quietly looking at the several goblin leaders present.

Jamie Sidney, deputy leader of the Blackwater Plutocrat? Wallet...

Venture Partners Executive Director Lazer...

Mo Dejin, chief executive of Musen Business Group...

Bausch, vice president of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce...

Wizard Locke, chairman of the Machinists Union...

The leader of the bloody group, Dusila Lasalay...

...

To be honest, those who can appear in this room are all emerging powerful figures in the goblin clan. Although most of the goblin forces dispatched are deputies or subordinates, they can also fully represent the great forces behind them.

In contrast, Magician Locke and Warlock leader Dusila, who were absolutely weak in number and power, seldom spoke. Instead, like the convener Kirby, they watched the clown-like performance of representatives of several major forces with cold eyes.

Compared with the Blackwater Plutocrats, venture capital companies, and Musen Merchant Group, although the number of magicians and artificers is still a small number, they profoundly represent the future of the goblins.

And these guys who have been deeply immersed and transformed by the wizard system, at this moment, obviously no longer have the same thoughts as their former companions. As for the old goblin who represented the director of the Goblin Research Institute, Gongga, he seemed to have a longer-term and more comprehensive view than these goblins, and he seemed unwilling to get involved in the power struggle.

And those "stupid" goblins didn't seem to understand this, and they were still cautiously asking the old goblin if they could provide some support in the "benevolence" of the goblins fighting for their individual rights.

"Support? What kind of support?" The old goblin narrowed his eyes and asked knowingly.

"Of course it is the biggest bargaining chip in our hands..." The goblin in military uniform rubbed his hands nervously: "I think...if...possible...the old dean is willing to use the puppet dragon to exert a little pressure, those human wizards will definitely Compromised!"

When the word "puppet dragon" came out of the mouth of the goblin in military uniform, the eyebrows of the big goblins present all twitched, and their eyes became cold and sharp.

This is the rhythm of wanting the goblins to be wiped out...

Silently, several goblin bosses looked at each other, and they all began to think about their future retreat and development.

Betrayed the Crimson Family?

Such thinking is a way of no return!

After so many years of wandering in the wizarding world and broadening their horizons, the intelligent and knowledgeable senior goblins have become increasingly aware of the huge power gap between the goblin plane and the wizarding world.

The goblin plane fell into the sight of the wizards, and the fate of the goblin plane was doomed.

To be honest, it is their greatest luck that the goblin plane can fall into the hands of the Crimson family, which has a more moderate and enlightened ruling style!

A little bit of luck, if you switch to another wizard family, it will definitely be an invasion of the whole field, as well as exploitation and oppression in a bone-sucking style. As for acknowledging the status of goblins as family members and giving them the opportunity to integrate into the wizarding system, these measures have almost never appeared in other wizarding families.

The people and the slaves... the difference in status between the two is well known to all the masters in the field.

So, seeing the crimson family in trouble, they chose to betray, and then took refuge in another powerful wizard family. This sounds very good, but if it is really put into practice, it will drag the entire goblin family into the abyss of death.

The other party urgently needs to abolish the influence caused by the existence of the Crimson family's fourth-order magic weapon puppet dragon, so they promised many benefits and benefits just now. But once the goblins really change their families, how can they compete with the human wizards in the opposing family?

Will the other party really give goblin wizards the same status and treatment as human wizards?

After taking away the magic weapon puppet dragon, will the opponent allow such a powerful magic weapon to remain in the hands of the goblin?

Can the goblins gain freedom and power far beyond the present?

After being nurtured and impacted by a large number of new world knowledge systems, the goblins who have stepped out of the plane are no longer the frogs in the bottom of the well in the past, and have deeply realized the bloody and cruel competition in the plane world. How could he be deceived by the 'benefits' and 'beautiful scenery' described by the other party like those idiots.

The goblin conclave quickly ended in fruitless debate.

When those stupid guys went out to eat, drink and have fun surrounded by a group of beautiful women, the few big guys who could really decide the future of the goblin clan got together again.

"It's very clear that the Musen Merchant Group is causing trouble..."

"Agreed! But in my opinion, there are also some goblins in the venture capital company that need to be cleaned up..."

"Well, let's repay Lord Gargamel according to this! I will try my best to win the right to do it, so that the damage to the tribe can be minimized!"

"Thank you, Sir Kirby..."
