Morris' eyes lit up, and he quickly understood which meditation method he should choose.
He coughed, pushed Bernard away, and immediately shouted, "I want the Earth Elemental Wizard Tower. Don't fight with me for it."
Everyone then realized what money was. Money was bullshit. The worst that could happen was that they could just work harder to make the potion.
"I want the thunder element. Don't fight with me." Sano shouted immediately. His talent was actually more inclined towards the thunder element.
"I want the wind type."
…
The hall suddenly became lively.
When Rosa saw this, she felt relieved.
After such a long time, they finally have their own place. Under Dolai's influence, they have long been accustomed to the wizard tower. Wizards without a wizard tower always feel like they are living under someone else's roof. Now that the elder brother will soon have his own wizard tower, he feels much more at ease.
He thought of Dolai and then of Ashley, and sighed in his heart, feeling a little resentful.
…
The Rant family.
In the family meeting room, Hayden sat at the top seat, and the others sat at the bottom seat.
There were only four people in the conference room, and they were the absolute core of the family, the leader of the wizard side, the leader of the warrior side, and the leader in charge of the family business.
Hayden knocked on the table and said slowly, "You all know the news. What do you think now?"
Hunter, who was in charge of the family business, had a gleam in his eyes. He had a thousand thoughts in his mind, but he didn't want to say them out loud. He said slowly, "Hayden, it's a bit too early to talk about this now. There are at least three level sevens in the Albis Mountains. Even if Dolai is powerful, it will take some time to take him down. Moreover, it requires the cooperation of the Glory Wizard Union and the military. It's not that easy."
The information they received was not accurate. Their current understanding of Dolai was still based on previous intelligence, and they did not know anything about the wizard tower group.
However, they knew the existence of the Golden Corpse, and the existence of the Golden Corpse was a huge threat to all families.
Gejier, who was standing next to the wizard, shook his head and said, "Hant, you are not a wizard, you don't understand how wizards work. Since he can defend against the attack from two level six undead wizards, I am sure that he has more powerful weapons, or confidence. Although the news only comes from the Glory Wizard Alliance, who knows whether they are telling the truth or not."
Upton on the warrior side nodded at this time. "It's different from using the golden corpse to sneak attack and kill three level 6 assassins on the street. In a head-on battle, the combat effectiveness of the golden corpse is not that strong, especially when facing the undead wizard. It is naturally restrained. So, I also think he has other trump cards."
Hunter frowned. He was good at business, but he didn't quite understand the fighting aspect.
Hayden nodded, confirming what Upton and Gejier said, "He must have other cards. Rumor has it that he has a level 7 partner, but he didn't show up in this battle. Also, the introduction was vague, so there must be something wrong."
Gejier said, "The problem now is, if we want to target Nadora, and now it is confirmed that it is in the Albis Mountains, should we make peace or send people to disrupt the situation? This is the problem."
Upton shook his head. "We can't make peace. Now we are either just ordinary partners or rivals. But I don't think our two families can be rivals. If we don't send out the seventh level, we can't take him down at the moment."
As the leader of the wizard side, Gejier himself is also level seven. At this time, he said, "The cost of sending out level seven is too high. Once the Glory Wizard Alliance is alerted, our family cannot afford the consequences."
There is an unwritten rule within the Glory Empire that everything can be done excessively, including the nobles fighting for territory, winning over personnel, and snatching resources. These are all tolerated because they are within the rules of the nobles. However, dispatching combatants above level seven is absolutely not allowed.
Combatants above level seven can only appear on external battlefields. Otherwise, they will trigger personal sanctions from the Glorious Wizard Union Law Enforcement Corps and the Royal Wizard Inquisition within the Empire.
This is extremely terrifying. The Imperial Mage Corps' Law Enforcement Corps and the Royal Wizard Law Enforcement Corps personally sanctioned this. Among them are the most outstanding wizards in the empire and the wizards who are most proficient in tracking and killing. Those who come out must be all level seven wizards with extremely terrifying strength.
When Hunt heard this, his tone was slightly solemn. "Then we can only wait for news from the black market and hope that the so-called mysterious organization can take down the other party. Otherwise, we can only turn to cooperation. In fact, cooperation is also possible. Our Langte family can continue to monopolize the brewing industry in the new city, as long as Dolai does not do anything reckless."
Hayden looked at Hunt and said, "You have always been in charge of intelligence. This time I called everyone here to discuss a proper method that requires both cooperation and competition."
Upton had another idea at this time. "Family, I don't think we need to be so hostile. So far, the focus of our conflict is not on life and death, but on competition. Now that Dolai has fled to the Albis Mountains, isn't it a bit too much for us to still regard him as a competitor? The Albis Mountains are more than 3,000 kilometers away from here."
Hearing this, Hunter and the other two were stunned.
…
Rhine family, large conference room.
There were a lot of people attending the meeting, and basically all the important people were there, except for a few people from the military who were still outside and had no time to come back.
The military personnel in charge of the city's defense were there, and the others were from the wizard side, the business side, and the intelligence side.
This meeting was just an ordinary family meeting, so no one took the news seriously after receiving it.
Daruleid sat at the top seat, looking at everyone with a smile on his face, "Everyone, what do you think? From what Ashe has reported, we know that the Albis Mountains are already within our Northwest State's territory. It's in our pocket."
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately went into an uproar.
The Albis Mountains are a very large area. If we take them down, the territory of the northwest will indeed expand again.
The most important thing is that it opened up the channel to the three northern provinces, saving dozens of days of travel for caravans and other travelers.
As a leader among the young people, Ophir was also sitting in the conference room. He said in disbelief, "Uncle, this information came from Ashe?"
Daruled glanced at Ophir, nodded, and said, "At present, our Rhine family's intelligence is the most accurate because Ashe is here in person. The information of others mostly comes from the Glory Wizard Alliance, so the news will be censored. I am not in a position to go into details. The core content of today is how to manage the Albis Mountains. I need everyone to come up with a proper plan, whether it is building a city or something related to the business territory."
At this time, Robert, who was in charge of business, stood up and said loudly, "Master, I think we should put the business territory issue on hold for now. The specific situation is still unknown. Dolai has occupied the Albis Mountains, and we have no idea where to build a city or where to build roads. It's too early to say anything about this now."
Daruled shook his head. "Not at all. Once Dolai occupies the Albis Mountains, the next step will naturally be to select a site, build roads, and build a city. With his execution ability, it will probably be faster than we think. So, now we either directly participate in it or plan ahead to prevent others from getting ahead. As far as I know, the Ornn family is already preparing a caravan. As for Krista, according to Ashe, they will stay here, but most of the people will go there, and only a small number of people will stay here."
