The Wizarding Age

Seriously speaking, Molten Fire City is actually a huge underground city opened up in the belly of a volcano.

The core building here is of course also a powerful wizard tower.

But unlike others, this wizard tower is not built on volcanic rocks with a solid foundation, but on a flowing lava zone.

Only at a few fixed time points every year will the wizard tower appear as the lava sea recedes. The rest of the time, this wizard tower is hidden in a rolling and flowing hot lava sea, and the traffic inside and outside is cut off.

And this wizard tower has of course become the retreat of the 4th-level Molten Fire City Lord!

As for the other wizards in Molten Fire City, including several deputy city lords, they all live in the underground molten channels around the core wizard tower. The rolling volcanoes, the winding and complex underground mazes, and the numerous transformed wizard beasts make this underground world seem not deserted, and the existence of life breath can be sensed everywhere.

The entire Molten Fire City is divided into three layers, and the inner core area is the wizard area.

Due to the amazing concentration and activity of fire elements here, ordinary humans cannot survive here for a long time. Therefore, only wizards can enter and leave and live here normally.

The outer area of ​​the core area is naturally the apprentice area.

Relying on the isolation effect of the energy light film, the energy radiation here is much lower than that of the core area, so it has become the place where most apprentices live. Whether it is study and research or daily life, the main activity area of ​​wizard apprentices is outside the circle of the core area.

On the periphery of the apprentice area, there are some small living areas like villages or supply points, which are filled with many ordinary people who provide various services for wizard apprentices. Among them, there are many special places such as taverns, hotels, mercenary camps, underground black markets, and the waitresses in the taverns often also run some flesh trades.

However, these outer strongholds provide a large number of fearless miners for Molten Fire City.

You know, one of the main reasons why the 4th-level wizard built a huge wizard tower here is that there is a huge metal vein deep in the volcano here. The magic metal stored inside is of excellent quality and the reserves are also very amazing, which has become the largest source of income for the Molten Fire City.

And if there are mineral deposits, a lot of manpower is needed to dig.

So the Molten Fire City spared no effort to build a huge underground city here, just for the amazing reserves of magic metal veins under its feet. Every day, there are thousands of miners of various races working hard in the intricate underground mines, fighting for the strength of the Molten Fire City with their lives.

Therefore, the more he knows about the Molten Fire City in front of him, the deeper his feelings are in his heart.

In terms of population, city size and resource trading volume alone, this Molten Fire City is obviously a hundred times stronger than the Flame Throne Wizard Tower of the Crimson Family.

However, although he envied it, Grimm did not dare to hope that he could occupy or own such a place.

In the wizard world, almost all high-level resources have been divided up by those large forces or high-level wizards. Even if such high-level resources fall into his own hands, it is afraid that what he will get is not a huge profit of magic crystals, but continuous wizard wars.

Without enough strength to deter foreign enemies, such resources, once exposed, will easily attract the covetousness of 4th-level wizards. And the Crimson Family does not have 4th-level wizards.

Therefore, if such resources fall into his own hands, it is not a blessing, but will cause the entire family to be destroyed.

Some time ago, several waves of wizard wars against the Crimson Family seemed to be some family conflicts on the surface, but the root cause was the Lance plane controlled by the Crimson Family.

A good dragon plane, inexhaustible dragon card resources...

This is obviously not something that a new family can have!

Therefore, the wealth of the Crimson Family also attracted many hungry wolf-like small and medium-sized families to besiege.

If it were not for the solid foundation of the Crimson Family itself, I am afraid that the new family created by Grim would have become bait in the mouths of others. At that time, without the protection of the family power, Grimm, who was alone, could only hand over the world beacon of the Lance plane, and was labeled as a loser, becoming a laughing stock among wizards!

…

With infinite reverie, Grimm passed through the outer stronghold under the guidance of the other party, walked through the apprentice area, and finally came to an underground molten cave.

Here, a dark red light film blocked the way forward.

The accompanying lizard cavalry reined in their mounts and waited respectfully on both sides. Only Grimm walked into the light film under the guidance of the second-level wizard.

It was like passing through a layer of transparent water barrier, without feeling any hindrance.

However, while passing through, Grimm could also detect four or five reconnaissance ripples with different functions quickly and secretly swept over him. Unfortunately, they were all blocked outside by the transparent flames lingering on Grimm's body surface.

As if receiving a witchcraft message from afar, the black-robed wizard smiled and bowed, saying: "Master Flame, please follow me! Master Kelak is waiting for you..."

The meeting place was a gray underground stone hall. A level 3 wizard and two level 2 wizards were waiting here. When they saw Grimm coming, they all smiled.

The level 3 Master Kelak was exactly the same as he was in the mental illusion, tall and thin, with a dark green gem inlaid in the middle of his forehead, and showed considerable enthusiasm for Grimm's arrival.

"You are the legendary fire wizard chieftain in the Erovis area, right? It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Grimm!" Kelak smiled and nodded slightly to Grimm.

As for the other two level 2 wizards, one man and one woman, both of them were young, standing behind Kelak and secretly looking at Grimm.

Those who can become high-level wizards are all talented and lucky. However, to be promoted to level 3 before the age of 200, it is obvious that this talent is a bit too much.

Therefore, when they suddenly saw this legendary fire wizard who was very popular, the two level 2 wizards of Molten Fire City couldn't help but get excited. Especially when they saw Grimm's handsome appearance and strong body, the young female wizard's eyes flashed with light and her face was full of smiles.

Grimm was not surprised that the other party could find out his identity.

He had done some research before coming. Molten Fire City is also a well-known big force in the central part of the continent with strong organizational strength. This can be seen from the fact that they can occupy a large area on their own.

In addition, the Tiksit area where Molten City is located is too far away from the Crimson Family. There is no possibility of any conflict of interest between the two parties, let alone any hidden contradictions. Therefore, Grimm does not have to worry about his safety here.

Therefore, Grimm was not surprised or panicked when the other party revealed his identity.

"I am also honored to visit Molten City. Everything here is so breathtaking. It can be seen that your power is able to dominate the Skettis region alone, which is by no means a fluke."

"Haha, Lord Grimm, you are too kind!" Wizard Kelak chuckled twice and changed the subject: "The mission issued by our Molten City invited two wizards. The other one will arrive in about two days, so I have to trouble you to stay here for two days. I think Wizard Freyna will accompany you to browse here for the next two days!"

The second-level female wizard standing behind Wizard Kelak stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Grimm, why don't I take you around here first?"

This Freyna wizard has a beautiful appearance and a hot figure. The well-cut white robe makes her skin look even whiter and more beautiful, with a thin waist and long legs. However, Grimm took a glance and sensed a faint energy radiation on her face and body.

It seems that this appearance and figure have been processed by witchcraft.

This situation is very common among most low-level wizards. After all, the beauty of witches is also a resource that can be utilized. However, similar situations are rare among high-level wizards. Because witches who can become high-level are all people with strong wills and strong thoughts. They are stronger than male wizards in many aspects. How could they be willing to do such a shameful thing as exchanging their bodies for resources!

"Thank you!" Grimm smiled slightly and left the stone hall with the other party.

When the footsteps of Grimm and Freyna disappeared in the depths of the passage, another Level 2 wizard asked, "Lord Kelak, what are the arrangements for the mine? If Lord Grimm wants to go deeper into the mine under the pretext of a mission, should we stop him?"

The tall and thin wizard Kelak lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "This Grimm is here for the Quelras ore, so you must keep an eye on Mine No. 2 and Mine No. 3. If necessary, he can enter and exit Mine No. 4 freely, but he must not be allowed to approach Mine No. 2 and Mine No. 3. By the way, has the flame tiger not come to make trouble again these days?"

"It has not invaded the mine since it was injured by Lord Dorian with the help of the magic array last month. However, in the past two days, there have been signs of its activities around Mine No. 2 again, I suspect it is secretly planning something again..."

"Send more people, and don't leave it any room to break in. The last time it caused trouble in the No. 3 mine, many miners there were killed or injured, which has seriously affected the output of the Hengjin Mine!"

"Yes, I will arrange it myself in a while!"

"Well, you must arrange it well, and don't let anything go wrong... In addition, another invited sealer will be brought in soon. When the manpower is gathered, immediately capture and kill the flame tiger. Before that, you must also find a way to grasp the movement of the flame tiger, and it would be best if you can find out where its nest is..."

"This..." The second-level wizard had a trace of difficulty on his face, and then gritted his teeth and said: "I will definitely complete it!"

Immediately, the two left the underground stone hall, making it quiet again.
