The Wizarding Age

Blood replacement cannot be accomplished overnight, the whole process may take several months.

The drop of liquid stored in the blue crystal is the drop of ‘blood’ that Grimm obtained by using the modulated source-stealing worm to devour the body of the strange star beast, and then extracting the complete blood power from the source-stealing worm, and then undergoing a series of quenching and purification.

Most star beasts have chaotic constitutions, and they absorb the violent magic energy that has not been clarified or filtered, so they are completely different from plane creatures in all aspects.

In Grimm’s chest, the broken blue crystal has been wrapped up by the sac formed by flesh and blood and muscles. At this moment, a wisp of blue-black mist is evaporating from the drop of liquid, and then absorbed by the fine flesh whiskers tightly wrapped around the crystal.

This slowly released mist gradually spreads to every corner of Grimm’s body with the flow of blood. Every time it reaches a place, it will have some subtle and strange energy exchanges with the flesh, bones, veins, and organs there.

Some mysterious energy penetrated into Grimm's flesh and blood, causing some unpredictable changes. The process of this change was not as calm as Grimm showed on the surface.

Grimm lay on his back on the floor, a trace of pain flashed across his young face from time to time, and a part of his body would twitch and spasm from time to time.

However, no matter how intense the pain in his body was, Grimm would not forcibly interrupt this process, but only rely on the tiny perception ability of the chip to silently control the progress of blood replacement.

And deep in his mind, a tiny light screen was projecting a blood-red number.

"...21%...22%...23%..."

The numbers on the screen sometimes remained motionless for several days, and sometimes changed rapidly within three or five minutes. Every change in it means that earth-shaking changes are taking place in Grimm's body, and these changes are usually accompanied by unforgettable pain.

This can be seen from Grimm's mental state, which is sometimes sober and sometimes drowsy!

During the time when Grimm was in seclusion, the Crimson Family also went into hibernation.

Most of the affairs in the Elovis region were delegated to the nobles of the Crimson Dynasty, and the wizards of the Crimson Family, in addition to continuing to garrison resource points in various places, all returned to the family headquarters and rarely appeared outside.

Not only were the members of the Crimson Family eagerly waiting for the birth of a new 4th-level wizard, but even the entire Sandi Tallin had countless families or organizations quietly waiting for the final result.

Those wizards or organizations that had offended or attacked the Crimson Family in the past were like ants on a hot pot, extremely irritable but helpless. Once that Grimm really became a 4th-level wizard, even without the Crimson Family taking action, those snobbish guys who wanted to flatter and take advantage of the situation would rush in and use their heads in exchange for a small promise from the Crimson Family.

By then, there would be no place for them in the entire central part of the continent!

Although every region of the wizard world has laws and regulations that "internal killing is strictly prohibited", those things can obviously only restrain those middle and low-level wizards. For a guy like the 4th-level wizard who has already stood at the top of the wizard world, any laws and regulations are invalid. Only a powerful combat force of 4th level or equivalent can make these 4th-level wizards have some scruples.

But when they are facing Grimm, which old guy in the association will publicly attack this "hotshot" of the association for a little bit of benefit!

It can be said bluntly that Grimm at this moment is simply the flesh and blood of all the 4th-level wizards in the association. It hurts so much that they don't want to trouble him at this time.

On the contrary, in order to prevent some blind guys from disturbing Grimm's promotion, the association even secretly dispatched two elite wizard troops to garrison at the border of the Elovis area. On the one hand, they protect Grimm, and on the other hand, it also implies monitoring and control.

On the second day of Grimm's retreat, the senior members of the Crimson Family, represented by Gargamel and Winriel, secretly came to Keslinburg and met with Vice President Milva.

The purpose of their trip was also very simple, just two words, "blackmail"!

In fact, it can't be called blackmail, after all, the association calculated Grimm first.

If Grimm didn't know the whole story, after he was promoted to level 4, the association could force Grimm to accept the damn terrible task with the terms of the contract. At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and Grimm had no choice but to accept the reality and embark on the road to the plane of death.

In this way, the association can solve this matter satisfactorily at the lowest cost!

Unfortunately, Grimm now knows the whole story.

At this moment, the association can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, hoping that the other party will swallow this bitter fruit and bear all the dangers and losses on themselves.

If the association really annoys Grimm, he will delay time and refuse to advance. At that time, although he would be severely punished by the association, the association could only choose one more from the existing fourteen 4th-level wizards.

After all, the Sanditalin Association is not like the three major wizard forces, which have strict internal discipline and strong constraints. It is just a loose and independent wizard alliance. Once they really want to nominate one of them to "die", I am afraid that it will fall apart in a minute and there is a possibility of large-scale withdrawal.

And this is what Gargamel and Winriel came to bargain with the association.

Want the horse to run, but don't want the horse to eat grass, where can you find such a good thing!

Following Grimm's orders and instructions, Gargamel showed his ability to be unreasonable, opened his mouth wide, and made one after another arrogant demands in front of the vice president Milva, asking for resources, territory, people, treasures, knowledge...

Almost everything Gargamel could think of, he listed a long list, filled in a big number at the end, and then argued with the other party.

Level 4 wizard? What is that? What does it have to do with my request?

It must be said that the loyal Gargamel is indeed worthy of being the 'Crimson Butler'. He dared to jump and curse in front of an angry level 4 wizard for just a 'little' resource.

The wizard Lorien, who was caught in the middle, was in a dilemma. He calmed down one and then the other. He finally calmed down the two fires, but when a new topic was raised, the two fires exploded again.

A level 2 wizard and a level 4 wizard quarreled with each other, and then a level 3 wizard tried to mediate... Wen Lier, who was standing next to them, had her facial muscles twitching and was having a hard time holding back her laughter. Many times, she felt that the scene in front of her was so absurd and ridiculous, but when she thought about it, she felt it was reasonable!

After understanding all the inside stories, Wen Lier knew very well that although Vice President Milva looked furious on the surface, she was probably very happy in her heart.

After all, it is much better for the association to lose some resources than to be torn apart for a dangerous quota!

Therefore, no matter how fierce and unbearable Gargamel was, he was just angry, angry, and angry...

Besides, with Milva's strength as a 4th-level wizard, if he was really angry, how could a 3rd-level subordinate persuade him? I'm afraid that if he threw a spell, the world would be quiet, so how could he tolerate a 2nd-level ant being so arrogant in front of him.

His anger was not just a statement!

It was just a warning to Gargamel that although the association was wrong in this matter, you should not go too far. However, what is excessive and what is not excessive, this boundary still needs to be tested by "ruffians" like Gargamel.

In the case that both parties are unwilling to tear each other apart, the so-called bargaining is actually more like a farce!

After a long-lasting "heated discussion", the two sides finally reached a basic agreement on a list of resources, items and knowledge.

When Gargamel and Wen Lier, who were thirsty, went to the Association's treasury in person to "carry" supplies accompanied by Laurian, the anger on the face of Vice President Milva, who was alone in the room, also faded a little.

"They are really greedy this time!" Milva said coldly, not knowing who she was talking to.

"Good greed, wonderful greed... If they were not greedy, I'm afraid the Association would be in big trouble this time!" President Fried's projection emerged silently from behind Milva.

"The loss this time is not a little bit, even resources and materials, their appetite is big!" Milva still had some resentment.

"Can those resources and materials be worth the value of a 4th level?" President Fried asked with a smile.

Milva was silent.

Finally, the little unhappiness just now quickly passed.

Milva gritted his teeth in his heart, just think of those things as money to buy the life of Grimm!

…………

The injection of a large number of resources, materials, treasures and knowledge also made the foundation of the Crimson Family more solid and strong.

Most Crimson wizards have no way to know the crisis faced by the upper echelons of the family, and they only know to immerse themselves in the joy of the family's "great harvest".

The head of the family is about to become a 4th level. If these family members are left too far behind, how can they follow the footsteps of the family head? Therefore, without the encouragement and momentum of the upper echelons, the Crimson wizards have set off a wave of full-scale improvement and efforts to advance.

With the abundant resources of the family, those family wizards with outstanding potential and talents have also received a lot of resource tilt. Therefore, there are countless guys who have been promoted one after another.

However, most of these guys who have made progress are promoted in small ranks, and the number of real 1 to 2, or 2 to 3 is still extremely rare.

Among the hard-working figures of many wizards, a lonely and downtrodden guy is particularly eye-catching!
