The Wizarding Age

In the alchemy laboratory on the third floor of the Swamp Tower.

After occupying the highest-level alchemy laboratory alone, Grimm settled down here and did not take a step for three days and three nights.

In the first day, he did nothing but hold the 1st-level Molten Core Giant Crystal Core that was about to become the experimental object and observe and examine it over and over again, so that the chip could make the final modeling and finalization.

With his powerful perspective ability, every crystal cluster that makes up the crystal core, and even every crystal filament in the crystal cluster, from the extension direction to the distribution of the two elements of earth and fire, and then to the solidity of each part. Every detail and every node was collected in his mind without a single leak, and it was integrated into a group of data to form a three-dimensional and detailed virtual body.

After all this was completed, Grimm fell on the floor of the laboratory without saying a word and fell asleep. He slept until the dawn of the next day, when he yawned and stretched, and got up from the ground.

He used witchcraft to summon some clean water to wash his face. After everything was done, he felt that his spirit had recovered again. Then Grimm stood in front of the alchemy table with a solemn expression.

After so much preparation and brewing, the design of the new magic puppet had already been engraved in his mind, and he needed to turn it into reality today.

He moved the corners of his mouth to encourage himself with a smile. The hesitation and worry in Grimm's eyes gradually swept away, and turned into firmness and confidence.

Without hesitation, Grimm waved his hand to start the alchemy table.

New magic puppets, new design plans, in order to give full play to the power of the dual-attribute crystal cores of earth and fire, the chip specially created a new three-dimensional witch formation for them. 5 energy gathering magic arrays, 3 element strengthening magic arrays, 2 element conversion magic arrays, 2 source field magic arrays, 1 lava armor generator, 1 summoning rune magic array, 1 element life giving magic array, 1 consciousness rune strengthening magic array, several energy circuit nodes...

The primary mud magic puppets before had at most 7 magic arrays, and the lightning giant used a decentralized three-dimensional magic array, and there were only 9 magic arrays on the core crystal core. But Grimm planned to etch 16 magic arrays on the egg-sized first-level molten core giant crystal core at one time, and he also needed to connect them to form a larger and more detailed whole.

In the previous life on Earth, this kind of micro-carving that was as fine as the molecular level could be completely controlled and completed by intelligent computers. In this mysterious and magical world, the only thing Grimm could rely on was the guidance and assistance of the chip, and the rest of the work had to be done by him.

The entire 3-hour rune drawing process cannot tolerate any carelessness or slackness. During the etching process, any rune line that deviates by even a single crystal thread will have a great impact on the final magic puppet product. If the deviation exceeds the distance of two crystal threads, it means that the wizard-level crystal core obtained at the risk of death is directly scrapped.

During the etching process, the output of mental power needs to be stable and continuous. If it is shallow, it will affect the efficiency of the operation of elemental energy, and if it is deep, it may pierce the surface crystal of the crystal core and damage its core. As for interruption in the middle, it is a taboo in refining the magic puppet crystal core. The whole process must be completed in one go without any hesitation.

In order to maximize the effectiveness of the crystal core, there must be enough witch arrays to cooperate with it. More witch arrays mean that the fault tolerance of the refining process is very poor, and any mistake will cause the crystal core to be scrapped. Therefore, if 10 witch arrays are etched on the wizard-level crystal core of the Wizard Continent, it is enough to be called an alchemist master. And etching 16 witch arrays in one breath requires a master of alchemy.

So... naturally, the first wizard-level magic puppet etched by Grimm failed!

During the etching process, the scorching rays controlled by Grimm's mental power stayed at a certain point for 0.7 seconds longer, so after the surface of the crystal core was pierced, the core exploded and disintegrated instantly as soon as it came into contact with the scorching rays.

A crystal core worth more than 4,000 magic crystals was destroyed just like that!

There was no time to be upset, to regret, or to sigh or be sad. Grimm threw away the crystal core residue in his hand, waved to turn off the alchemy table, fell to the ground and fell asleep again.

If he had time, these tasks could be done after he was promoted to a wizard. At that time, with his mental power multiplied countless times, he would definitely be much more relaxed than now.

But he didn't!

The sense of urgency that time was running out forced him to enrich his strength as soon as possible. And the risk of challenging the difficulty of the wizard level as a quasi-witch can be imagined. But he had no other choice.

7 hours later, Grimm, who had recovered his spirit, stood up suddenly and stood bravely in front of the alchemy table again.

Unfortunately, 2 hours later, the second wizard-level crystal core still failed.

This time, Grimm did not rush to lie down, but sat cross-legged on the cold stone slab, took out food from his arms and ate and drank quickly. When he finished eating and drinking and fell asleep on the blanket, two tears silently slid down his face, but he was unaware.

10 hours later, when his mental strength had just recovered, Grimm opened his eyes at the prompt of the chip. There was no hesitation in his black crystal pupils, nor was there any regret or remorse, but only the stubbornness and persistence of not looking back.

13 After a few seconds, Grimm stood in front of the alchemy table again.

Maybe it was sincerity that made the stone open, or maybe it was natural and natural, the third magic puppet crystal core was actually made!

There was no loud roar, no cheering with tears, Grimm calmly put away the crystal core as usual, and fell asleep on the blanket again.

15 hours later, the fourth crystal core was also made!

Until the last witchcraft rune was etched, the entire three-dimensional line formed a perfectly self-consistent closed witch formation, and the elemental energy absorbed from the air began to flow and intersect smoothly in the witch ring, and Grimm's silent zombie face had a trace of expression.

It is hard to say whether it is joy or heartache, or whether it is happy or sad. The mental power that has been repeatedly tempered has been exhausted and filled many times, which has long made him tired and mentally exhausted.

After packing up everything in the laboratory, closing the alchemy table, walking out of the laboratory, and returning to his residence, Grimm let go of everything and fell asleep.

This time he slept for a whole day and night to get rid of the feeling of weakness and break free from a black nightmare that was constantly sinking. Before he opened his eyes, a delicious aroma filled his nose.

When he opened his eyes, the familiar pretty face leaning over and staring at him in front of the bed had confusion and puzzlement, but more of a thoughtful look. And in the wooden tray in her hand, there was veal tenderloin sprinkled with sauce, sweet and soft white bread, and a colorful fruit platter.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Mary asked doubtfully.

Although the man in front of him was only sixteen or seventeen years old, he had a steadiness and sophistication that many adults could hardly achieve, and he always looked calm and at ease. Although this would also bring more confidence and a sense of reliance to his companions, he always felt that he hid his heart very deeply.

And this extremely exhausted look in front of him was rare on him, and every time it appeared, it meant that they were facing a problem that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

What kind of problem forced him to this extent?

Mary was a little puzzled by this.

Now should be their most comfortable and freest period! Both of them became quasi-wizards, and the many constraints that had been on them in the past disappeared. Even the wizard Anderson cared for them and became much more friendly.

As long as they continued along the current path step by step, with their talents and potential, it would only take one or two years for them to reach the peak of quasi-wizards. By then, if they tried their luck, they might become the noble wizards who controlled their own destiny!

Then... it would be the time for the two of them to live together and officially become partners!

It was precisely because all this seemed so beautiful that Mary was puzzled by Grimm's desperate efforts. Based on her contact with Grimm during this period, she dared to assert that there must be a new huge crisis, and it was a crisis that she could not perceive. Otherwise, this man would not be so desperate!

With Mary's character, of course, she asked directly whatever she thought of.

Grimm smiled bitterly, took the plate from Mary, and ate and drank voraciously without getting out of bed.

After eating and drinking, Grimm took Mary's hand with a smile on his face and asked about her experience in a low voice. But secretly, his mental power completed a quick telepathic conversation with Mary.

Since Mary had already noticed something, Grimm did not intend to keep it a secret from her. Moreover, many subsequent things also required her to participate, so it was necessary to tell her as soon as possible so that she could know what was going on.

After saying everything he knew in one breath, Grimm was originally prepared to use force to stop Mary's possible rampage. But to his surprise, after learning everything through the telepathic conversation, Mary, who should have been furious, seemed very calm, and even... even looked at him with interest.

Could it be that the person in front of him was a fake Mary?

Just when Grimm couldn't help wondering if the person in front of him was a fake person, Mary finally asked with a sweet smile: "You did all this for me? Those guys just want my life, why are you working so hard?"

Although she was talking about a topic related to her own life, she looked so happy that she didn't seem to care about it at all.

At this time, she didn't care about her own life, but diverted the question to other places?

Grimm was stunned for a moment and said speechlessly: "You...you are not my partner!"

However, before he could finish, a sweet and beautiful red lip blocked his mouth. chapter;
