Wizard's Journey

Chapter 693 Power Struggle

Over the years, Amlund and Isabelle have made their share of the Isabelle family business grow larger and larger.

After the Blacksor Tower Wizarding Academy was renamed, many arcane wizards chose to leave the new academy. Among them were many wizards who joined the Bloodsail Alliance. Through the connection of the founder of the Bloodsail Alliance, Amrund managed to recruit some arcane wizards as confidants to work for him.

After years of hard work in the Isa family, Amrund has become an indispensable and important member of the family, managing the Isa family's businesses. His feelings for Isabel have not changed, as if the silent love between the wizard apprentice and Isabel was just yesterday.

"Green, it's so great that you could come this time."

Just as he settled down, Amlund said this, and Green looked over in surprise.

"What happened?"

When Chief Issasar was present, Amrund didn't say a word; Isabelle was with him the whole time. This is the tragedy of a "son-in-law who lives with his wife's family," though the wizard doesn't care about it.

"It's a power grab!"

Amrand shook his head and sighed, "The patriarch has begun to consciously look for successors among the family wizards and has started to relinquish a lot of power. Although I have accumulated some strength over the years, it is only at the lower level. Now, I am simply no match for those successors."

As he spoke, Amlund looked expectantly at Green.

Power struggle!

Demon hunter wizards have a strict combat system and hierarchical division, so Green did not come into contact with things like power struggles. Demon hunter dark wizards directly use their own power to fight for the right to speak, imitating the holy marks wizards and true spirit wizards in the wizarding world.

However, the arcane wizards within the family do not do this.

Some conspiracies and intrigues are seen as a waste of precious time by demon hunters and even most arcane wizards, but a very small number of wizards are enthusiastic about them and enjoy them immensely.

Similarly, this is something Green finds extremely annoying!

The pursuit of truth and mystery, the exploration of the rules of knowledge, and the joy of success after enduring long periods of tedium and loneliness should be the driving force that wizards strive for throughout their lives. Intrigue and scheming are truly detrimental to a wizard's growth.

Everyone understands the principle, but these conspiracies and tricks are an indispensable part of the rules of the wizarding world, because wizards are ultimately subject to status rules and cannot act solely based on their own power wherever they go. Otherwise, how would they be different from those passively evolved creatures in other worlds?

"Do you need any help? I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here for much longer."

After much hesitation and deliberation, Green finally said those words.

To achieve the goal of establishing the Wizard Tower and creating the Holy Mark, it is necessary to attract other forces to invest and form a bond of interests. Green has been cooperating and investing in Amrund for a long time and cannot give up on it.

Moreover, Amrund commands the Bloodsail Alliance, comprised of arcane wizards with extensive experience teaching wizard apprentices. This is a crucial foundation for Grimm's establishment of the wizarding academy.

Amrand's eyes gleamed, and he said excitedly in a low voice, "It won't take up much of your time!"

……

The Isa family has a total of forty-seven heirs designated by Isasar.

These forty-seven successors can be divided into three levels based on their strength, lineage, and relationships.

The two most promising heirs of the Isa family are ranked in the first tier, possessing unparalleled advantages over other heirs: the eldest son and the third son.

Subsequently, twelve successors were classified as second-class, possessing various powers, networks, and resources, or being extremely powerful in their own right.

The remaining heirs belong to the third tier. These heirs can only help the family manage the business and go on missions to foreign worlds for on-site investigations. Although they are listed as heirs, they are unlikely to be qualified to compete with other heirs for family power.

Amrand only barely rose from a third-class heir to the bottom of the second-class heir after taking over and gathering a large number of Bloodsail Alliance wizards. As long as he can stabilize, he can get a position as a family elder after the future patriarch steps down.

Currently, the forces that Amrand can mobilize, besides himself and Isabelle being second-level wizards, also include a third-level arcane wizard, six second-level wizards, and more than fifty first-level wizards, making it a considerable power group.

However, such power is only at the bottom of the second-class heirs in the Isa family.

"Of the two Level 3 Archmages supported by Isabella, both Elder Sha and Elder Ying are Seventh-Ring Holy Tower Demon Hunter Wizards, possessing considerable strength. Because I support the Third Prince's faction, while Isabella supports the First Prince's faction, he began pressuring me about a month ago, demanding that I relinquish the profits from a mining area I was developing in the alien world, and the price he offered was less than one-tenth of what I asked for!"

Amrand gritted his teeth and said resentfully, "Today is the final negotiation deadline set by Isabola. Elder Long is not in the family right now; I sent him to the Fourth Ring Holy Tower three months ago to contact another family to discuss cooperation. I hope you can help me deter some of their outrageous actions during the negotiations."

Elder Dragon, the only third-level archmage supported by Amrund.

"understood."

In the sky, Green followed Amrund, with Isabelle and two other second-level wizards accompanying them, preparing to discuss the contract as they flew towards the palace where Isabelle was located in the distance.

……

The Isabola management area is relatively far away.

Inside a palace bathed in bright magical light, Isabella, holding a glass of exotic wine handed to her by a maid, seemed slightly tipsy, her cheeks flushed. She pulled the maid into her arms and chuckled as she looked at a third-level archmage opposite her, who resembled a small giant.

He was over two meters tall, bald, with a full face of stubble and black beard, his eyes were as big as bells, and his body was as fat as a round ball.

Even though the great wizard was sitting on the floor, an indescribable sense of oppression began to emanate from him. His rough, large hands were gripping a piece of half-cooked, dripping meat and stuffing it into his mouth.

This is actually a legendary knight!

Of course, in the wizarding world, a legendary knight who has cultivated the power of bloodline to this level is no longer called a knight; he is already a wizard.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph, in a moment we'll rely on Elder Man, Elder Sha, and Elder Ying. Keep all of that outsider's followers out. Today I'll see if he dares to refuse me! With Elder Man's help, what if that level three Grand Wizard he's been supporting returns?"

On either side of Mount Isabo, two Demon Hunter Archmages with Level 3 Honor Medals chuckled softly, but their eyes were fixed on the newly joined Barbarian Elder, their eyes twitching wildly!

Unlike these two who simply wanted to leave the Holy Tower to earn some easy extra income from these families, this incredibly powerful "Legendary Knight" who came from the Abyss to travel the Wizarding Continent was definitely a terrifying legendary knight with a illustrious reputation from the Abyss Knights' Perseverance Academy.

It's truly incredible that someone could use their own willpower to develop bloodline magic to this extent!

You have to understand, he was once just an ordinary human being. Legendary knights who have reached this level are probably even rarer than the Holy Mark Wizards of the Wizarding Continent.

It's unclear what methods this Isabossan used, but he managed to successfully invite such a powerful and legendary knight to temporarily join his camp.

"Remember, the terms you offered are only enough for one company to pay their fees three times."

Wiping the grease from his mouth with his large hand, the barbarian elder's eyes were resolute and calm. He then chuckled and stood up, looking out of the palace.

"They're here!"

Click, click, click.

The armor, a blend of animal hide and metal, clattered as the barbarian elder swung his hand, and a blood-red battle axe, swirling in the distance, landed in his grasp with a loud thud. The two maids beside him were so startled that they fell to the ground, clearly intimidated by the elder's imposing presence.

With a low chuckle, the barbarian elder confidently stepped out of the palace first. Standing over two meters tall at the palace entrance, he stood with his arms crossed, a cold smile playing on his lips and thick, stubble-covered black beard.

Isabella, now sober, pushed away the maid in her arms and winked at Elder Shadow and Elder Sand. At the same time, a large number of women quickly tidied up the banquet tableware, and wizards rushed over with the draft of the negotiation contract, speeding up the preparations.

Two level-three archmages teleported to the palace entrance, ready to intimidate Amrund and his party upon their arrival and keep everyone around Amrund outside the palace.

The three great wizards, each with a different posture, waited with cold smiles as a group of wizards flew slowly approaching from the horizon.
