Chapter 428 New Golem

A new assault of beasts?

Didn't this mean that any investment in this area could end in disaster?!

The ambassadors of both parties quickly retracted their offers without another word They then produced awith their leaders

In the end, Greem decided to accept the Zhentarim Association's offer after several rounds of discussion and negotiation

The first phase of the plan would span ten years The Zhentarim Association would construct a e and more adepts and apprentices to initiate their trial locations here It would strengthen the tower's power

Greee the adept's tower and try his best to ensure the safety of the surrounding area

Adept Hatch continuously emphasized to Greem that he had to protect the stretch of forest to the south of the toith everything he had, even if he didn't have the power to expel thefrom the north That was because the Association would try and establish a large base in between the tower and Pinecone Town This base would serve as the foundation for future human settlements

The Association would station adepts and apprentices at a post like that However, if a horde of ical creatures assaulted theical support

Gargaotiations with Adept Hatch The two of them had even broken off talks several times until they sat down to resume discussions at the behest of their superiors

After a dozen rounds of haggling, the forests to the north of the tower had once again transforer It was only then that they careement

Apart from the previous deal, the Zhentarim Association would also fund the construction of two teleportation arrays in Fire Throne One would be a public-use large-scale teleportation array They would construct it in the Magma Hall and Zhentarim adepts would y consumed by the array As payment, twenty percent of the fee collected froiven to the tower

Furthermore, the Association would also construct a small teleportation array on the fifth floor of Fire Throne This array would be a facility of the tower itself, and the Association would have no right to interfere with its usage

Greeotiation

Even though they had to hand over a hundred kilo with all of its associated inconty of Fire Throne, as well as the broader territories to the north of the tower

Gree all by himself here It was too easy for other clans to harass him and interfere with his affairs The Fire Throne would likely soon be facing the Kamala Clan's blockade if he hadn't invited the Zhentarim Association into his lands

The Sarubo Clan, on the other hand, had never been a possibility Greeth in establishing hinificantly less pressure if he requested help from the Sarubo Clan However, when he eventually decided to leave the clan, it would be hard to distinguish what belonged to whom The benefits and ownership over the lands would be a complicated issue to resolve

The elders of the Sarubo Clan seemed to understand this clearly They had never offered any help to Greeo without reply, but even Adept Meryl was also forcefully recalled by the clan two days ago

Meryl also took nearly half of the apprentices along with her departure This action undoubtedly weakened Fire Throne severely Gargamel was a sly and smart person He had expected this proble apprentices However, these outsiders ere mostly of no more than intermediate-level were far weaker than the elite apprentices that the Sarubo Clan had cultivated

Thus, Fire Throne currently only had two adepts on the surface: Greeamel The Forest Spirit Eva had to be kept under wraps still

There were three pseudo-adepts Am, Toril, and Sabrina

As a veteran pseudo-adept, Kodar had already failed his advance for his second attempt He had returned to Feidnan City with Meryl in search of better resources

The other veteran Pseudo-Adept Arowth of his Spirit He would probably have to wait another two or three years before he could atterip, he would have to help theuidance would not be entirely enough There was a limit to loyalty and emotion between an adept and apprentice Resources and benefits still decided the majority of their relationship!

And then you had two advanced apprentices– Lena and Anthony
