Age of Adepts

What the lich sends is an invitation to explore.

According to it, the area Greem was invited to was an ice world, and there seemed to be an extremely rare ice dragon in it.

However, the target of Lich Congnas was not the ice giant dragon, but an ice-type artifact buried deep in the opponent's dragon lair—the ancient severe winter box.

According to legend, this treasure box was forged by a family of powerful ice giants in ancient times. It contains the terrible cold from the kingdom of death, which can give the user the rules of ice and some of the rules of death.

Judging from the attributes of the treasure alone, it is also very suitable for the original attributes of the Lich Congnas!

Therefore, it is no wonder that it wants to recruit troops everywhere, wanting to break through this strange ice world in one fell swoop, and seize the ancient box of severe winter. And when it picked Greem, it obviously wanted to use his incomparably powerful arson ability to destroy the ice dragon's home power.

However, after learning that Greem had a minor ailment and needed a period of rest, Lich Congnas immediately stated that this matter was not urgent, and it still needed to continue to invite other companions. Therefore, the agreement between the two parties is eighty years later.

Presumably by that time, Greem's original trauma to the soul will be healed.

It has to be said that the time dimension of a creature like a lich is indeed different from that of most planar creatures. The extremely rare and precious time in the eyes of others is just a tea time in the blink of an eye.

"An invitation from a lich can make you feel so much?" Alice said with an unbelievable look: "I have heard the name Congnars before, and it seems to be a pretty scary guy. But as long as you can Beware of their instant-death spells, creatures like liches are actually not difficult to deal with!"

"You may not know that in my mind, creatures like liches, evil gods, and demons are already representatives of some kind of ultimate power. Before I was promoted to a wizard, I could only look up to such a guy. But Now...but they want to call them brothers and sisters, and they are vain, and there is always such a sense of absurdity in my heart!" Greem infinitely sighed.

Alice's satin-like long hair hung down behind her, and a look of sympathy and understanding appeared on her soft and peaceful face. She walked gently to Greem, wrapping her hands tightly around his waist.

"It's no wonder you have such feelings and thoughts. Your promotion speed is too fast, so fast that it's hard for you to adapt! Which one of those fourth-level wizards has not experienced three or four hundred years of long time to become a master?" You have mastered the status and power in front of you. And you...have been fighting, have been fighting...almost no time to breathe."

"The Crimson Family, like you, is too young in the fourth-order group. They are so young that they are lacking in every aspect, and they can't match the status and status in front of them! Do you know? Ever since the Crimson Family became a fourth-order group After the power, how many wizards are waiting outside the door to see you, how many families and organizations want to join you, and how many large forces want to form an alliance with you..."

Hearing Alice's questioning, Greem shook his head blankly.

During these days, he hid in the Flame Throne Witch Tower and devoted himself to recuperating from his wounds. By the way, he sorted out the treasures and resources brought back from the other world volume. To be honest, he really didn't ask about the specific affairs of the family, and he didn't know how the current development was going.

In his deepest heart, as long as he, a Tier 4 wizard, sits behind him, the Crimson Family will only prosper, and no one will dare to seek trouble!

Alice looked up and saw Greem's bewildered expression, and couldn't help giggling.

"Because of your majesty, the disciples and cronies under you don't dare to bother you with these complicated and trivial matters. But have you ever thought that the foundation of the current Crimson Clan is still too weak! Not to mention anything else, Those wizards who come to negotiate family cooperation matters are usually powerful wizards of level 2 or 3. Your disciple and confidant are only level 2 elementary and intermediate, and the psychological pressure you have to bear when negotiating with others with such strength Can you imagine how big it is?"

Greem listened attentively and began to think silently.

Like Greem, the current Crimson Family is a little too inflated.

This refers not to mentality, but to overall strength.

Although the Crimson family produced Greem, a well-known fourth-level wizard, the third-level members who acted as the backbone of the family had not been cultivated for a long time. So far, the third level of the Crimson Family is only Alice, Mary, Soros, Oliver, and Gazlowe.

Among them, Alice is the leader of the Fate Witch, so it is naturally impossible to stay in the Crimson family. Mary and Soros are vampires, and recently they even broke into the Haisen plane to expand the territory for the Crimson family.

Oliver is a famous dragon eater, and he can only be regarded as a third-rank guest official attached to the Crimson family, and he is not willing to deeply participate in the internal affairs of the family. And the only remaining alien brain, Gazlowe, was sent by Greem to the Exodar camp outside the territory to help the Crimson Family open up the extraterritorial market.

In this way, with one swipe left and one swipe right, one can stay inside the family, and there is no core Tier 3 that can deter external forces.

This also means that the Crimson Clan, a large family that has just been promoted to a Tier 4 power, is actually a group of Tier 2 wizards supporting the scene. Although Greem was not willing to belittle Meryl and Gargamel's hard work and achievements, but the level of the two of them really couldn't control the situation in many cases.

This will cause the Crimson Family to lose a lot of benefits invisibly in many cases.

After all, most of the wizard family patriarchs or organization leaders who came to negotiate and negotiate were Tier 3 wizards. They are naturally reluctant to let them condescend to bargain with a few second-level wizards. Based on the content of resource exchange and information exchange they negotiated, even if it is only a small profit fluctuation, it is not a small loss when added up.

Therefore, it is imperative to improve the overall strength of the family as soon as possible!

Meryl is his disciple, and she also has the blood of the fire dragon. If Greem takes care of her eccentrically, it is very possible to advance to the third level with a lot of resources. But level 3 is the limit of her potential, and if she wants to make progress, it's hard to reach the sky.

And Gargamel's talent is even worse than Meryl's, and his potential limit is at level 2.

In some ruthless families, it is impossible to spend such a huge amount of effort on an 'incompetent' wizard like Gargamel. For those Tier 4 forces, wizards without Tier 3 potential are simply not worth cultivating. And it is absolutely impossible to become a core wizard of a Tier 4 power without Tier 4 potential.

Of course, having potential does not necessarily mean success.

However, without potential, there is no hope of success!

So, now, Greem, as the patriarch of the Crimson Clan, needs to consider Gargamel's replacement. This is not cruel, nor is it crossing rivers and tearing down bridges, but... a realistic need.

Of course, out of personal feelings, Greem can also find ways to improve Gargamel's talent potential. But in this way, the resources and hard work spent on Gargamel alone are enough to train two or three wizards of the same level for the Crimson Family!

Therefore, how to choose is also a question that Greem needs to consider comprehensively.

"Do you think Gargamel still has the value of continuing to cultivate?" It was precisely because Greem was thinking deeply about this question that he couldn't help asking.

Alice closed her eyes and thought for a while, then stared at Greem's black pupils, and said with a smile: "His potential for development has been exhausted. Although he is quite loyal and talented, his individual strength is still a blemish! Given his age , if the Crimson Clan is still the original Tier 3 power, then it will be no problem for him to serve with all his heart and soul for another two or three hundred years."

"But the core wizard of the most Tier 4 power, he is obviously not suitable..."

"You mean to replace him?" Greem frowned unconsciously.

Alice stretched out her hands, smoothed Greem's frowning brows, and said with a faint smile: "Gargamel has served you faithfully for more than a hundred years, are you willing to change it? Besides, the current situation in the central part of the mainland , was also created by Gargamel with one hand and one foot, if he is rashly replaced by an outsider, there will definitely be a huge turmoil within the family!"

"Then what do you mean..." Greem was a little confused.

"It definitely needs to be replaced! But the person we replace must take care of the perception of Gargamel and his affiliated forces, so that they will not shake the foundation of the family in fear. Now do you understand who it is?"

"You mean her? She...is still a little girl! Can she handle this situation?" Greem instantly understood what Alice meant, but he still hesitated.

"You...you have been running around outside these years, and you have hardly managed the internal affairs of the family. Naturally, you don't know how much progress that little girl has made!" Alice pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm afraid you still don't know what to do. You don’t know! That little girl is now a second-level senior, and...she is 143 years old, and she is no longer the little girl in your mind!"

"Second-level advanced... Isn't that higher than Meryl's level?" Greem couldn't help being a little shocked.

"Yeah, this girl's promotion speed is not inferior to yours. I can't imagine that Gargamel, a former wandering wizard, can give birth to such a talented daughter. If you promote Emelia, Gargamel Not only will I not hate you, but I will be more grateful to you."

"Over the years, Gargamel and Ava have put almost all their efforts on Emelia. And Emelia is also competitive enough. In the situation that Gargamel has established in the Elovis area over the years, some A large part of it is due to Emelia. Gargamel's subordinates are also very convinced of her!"

"Emelia's background is a bit weird..." Greem still hesitated.

"What's the impact of this? Isn't it the fusion of the souls of some of the princesses of the spore clan? Could it be that you have become a fourth-level wizard, and you are still afraid of the underground clan coming to find trouble?"

Hearing Alice's merciless rhetorical question, Greem laughed easily instead.

"Then find a time and call that Emelia over. I will reward her with a treasure and determine her identity first!"

Alice chuckled immediately.

"The relationship between the girl and me is good! I will inform her..."
