The Wizarding Age

After this period of exploration, Grimm has vaguely discovered some skills in using magic puppets.

The Magic Crocodile Hunter is a high-level magic puppet. Each time it is used, it will occupy 2 points of his mental power. This occupation will continue as long as the magic puppet is still active. And the quasi-witch-level magic puppet such as the Rock Python requires 3 points of mental power. This also means that if Grimm fights with all his strength, with his 11 points of mental power, the Noble Head Ring 1 can only maintain 1 Magic Crocodile Hunter and 2 Rock Pythons on the field at the same time.

After all, he still needs to retain some mental power to cast necessary witchcraft.

And this is the best configuration achieved after the chip has been precisely calculated and controlled by a special witch array, greatly reducing the mental power requirements of the magic puppet. If it is replaced with an ordinary magic puppet creature, Grimm's mental power can only maintain the combat needs of a Rock Python at best.

And the main reason for this situation is the characteristics of the magic puppet itself.

The magic puppet is different from the common golem.

The golem is a humanoid puppet that has been created in advance using a large amount of rare resources. Due to its huge body, the entire surface of the golem has sufficient space to engrave various magic runes and special magic arrays. The spiritual needs of the puppet creature created in this way will of course be minimized.

In many cases, the controller only needs to give the golem the simplest combat instructions during the battle, and then he can completely leave it alone.

But the magic puppet is different. The magic puppet has no fixed body before being summoned, and its appearance is more like a magic summon, except that the object of the summoning has changed from a random alien creature to a fixed-mode magic puppet. This is also the main reason why the appearance of the magic puppet must consume Grimm's mental power.

Moreover, the magic puppet does not have the huge body of the golem for the creator to freely display his own rune array talent. It is an extremely harsh torture for the creator's puppet manufacturing level to etch enough control magic arrays and energy systems in the small space of the elemental crystal core, which is like an egg or a pigeon egg.

To be honest, Grimm was able to create such a powerful rock python magic puppet with the help of the chip, which is already an astonishing and amazing achievement.

Combining the combat power of the two, the golem with a special body is undoubtedly much higher than the temporarily summoned magic puppet. But from beginning to end, Grimm only built magic puppets and never used golems. The main reason is... the golem is too big and takes up too much space, and it is not easy to carry.

Take the lowest-level clay puppet as an example. A clay puppet without any witchcraft equipment will weigh 100 kilograms and stand up to 8 feet, about 24 meters. Such a big guy is powerful, but how can Grimm bring it into the battlefield?

You know, such a big guy is difficult to fold and carry even in a non-combat state. Moreover, their huge weight consumes witchcraft energy extremely, so the space-free magic elements absorbed by themselves are not enough to supply their own combat needs.

Therefore, golems with fixed bodies can only exist as guardians of wizard towers or magic facilities. They usually stay in secret spaces motionlessly to reduce their own magic consumption as much as possible. When they are needed to fight, the pre-set early warning mechanism will activate them and release them to repel or annihilate the invaders.

And all of this requires the huge energy reserve inside the wizard tower as support.

Therefore, these characteristics determine that Grimm can only rely on magic puppets to fight at present. After all, carrying an egg-sized crystal core is much more concealed and convenient than carrying an earth-shaking alchemy puppet everywhere.

So in order to maximize the assistance of the magic puppet to himself, Grimm continued to explore the potential of the magic puppet in combat on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also working hard to improve his mental power. After all, his mental power is related to the number of magic puppets on the field in future battles.

Therefore, on the fourth day after returning to the wizard tower safely, Grimm took the concentration potion again after trying to improve his physical fitness to 382. This time, Grimm's mental power increased by 0.70 points, which was much less than the last 0.75 points.

The effect of taking the same type of magic potion continuously will become worse and worse until it is completely ineffective against the target. This is a normal phenomenon that has long been studied in depth by wizards, but they are helpless.

The main reason for all this is the existence of drug resistance. When the same type of magic potion is used continuously, it will accumulate difficult-to-eliminate drug residues in the body, thereby reducing the magic effect of the same type of potion. Although this process is gradual, it is real.

Therefore, after taking the concentration potion this time, Grimm's basic physical data is as follows.

Strength 412, Agility 435, Constitution 317, Mental Power 1114.

Compared with the last time, Grimm's mental power has increased by 107 points. Among them, 070 points are brought by the concentration potion, and the other 037 points are brought by the uninterrupted magic energy package and daily meditation. Preliminary statistics show that this 107-point increase is converted into magic crystals, and the value is about 350400 magic crystals.

The appearance of this data also made Grimm completely believe that a successful wizard apprentice is indeed built up by piles of magic crystals.

…………

It was noon of the day. After a morning of hard work, Kirby, the most successful goblin merchant in the Wizard Tower, returned to his residence with a brisk pace.

Since it made its first fortune from Grimm, Kirby rented a room next to its master's residence as its own nest. Every day, it only needs to report the day's achievements to its master at night and then it can live a leisurely day.

Sleep until you wake up naturally, count money until your hands cramp.

To be honest, such a comfortable life is the most perfect life it has always dreamed of. However, this dream did not come true with the second-level wizard, nor did it come true during the days of wandering underground, but it came true after following a wizard apprentice.

Therefore, it has been crazy these days and has been busy all day long.

During the day, it soaks in the apprentice market and constantly uses its eloquence and talent to earn a steady stream of magic crystals. After a feast at night, it nestles in its simple nest and counts the magic crystals earned during the day over and over again. It can be said that every night it falls asleep sweetly with piles of magic crystals in its arms.

However, the smart Kirby also understood that the mysterious master behind it could give it all. Without the financial support and full delegation of power from the mysterious master, it would be a green-skinned goblin despised by all wizard apprentices who would not be qualified to boss around among a group of apprentices.

Although those junior apprentices surrounded it and said sweet words every day, Kirby could still see the contempt and disdain in their eyes. They respected not it, but the mysterious master behind it.

A smart goblin, even if he had extraordinary talents, but without a strong master as a backing, the only ending was to be trampled to the ground, branded with a slave mark on his face, thrown into a dark and damp dungeon, eating people's food scraps all day long, but doing hard and tiring heavy work.

And the reason why Kirby knew all this was because before being selected as the experimental material of the wizard, it lived such a life!

In contrast, although the current owner is not as powerful as the previous owner, it has never thought of escaping since it fell into this lifestyle. Even many times, it is still constantly fantasizing that it would be great if such a life could be maintained forever!

With infinite reverie, relying on the rune token and witchcraft code on his waist, Kirby opened the door of his residence. But as soon as he stepped into the room, he was staggered by a strong smell of blood.

In just one morning, its residence turned into a bloody and terrifying slaughterhouse. And its beloved mysterious owner was standing in front of a bloody dissection table, looking solemnly at a completely dissected strange body.

Just looking at the dissection knife in his hand, the bloody deerskin gloves and the white robe splattered with blood, you can see that he is busy with an anatomical experiment.

It seems that the owner is also a beginner in biological anatomy.

Although he had never dissected a creature himself, Kirby had spent a long time in the laboratory of a Level 2 wizard, and had learned much more about biological structure and anatomy than Grimm. If he were a skilled apprentice of the Undead Department, he would never make a dissection exercise so bloody.

Which part to cut from and how to avoid the blood vessels of the creature are the basic skills of the Undead Department apprentice, and it is impossible for him to make himself so embarrassed. So Kirby dared to assert that his master must have performed the body dissection of such a creature for the first time.

As a loyal servant of the master, how could he sit back and watch the embarrassment of the master at this time!

Bringing a small wooden stool, Kirby climbed on it and began to actively help the master with strategies, and even moved the body of the lizard man by hand without avoiding the filth to facilitate the cutting of the master's scalpel.

Unknowingly, Kirby turned into an instructor with good witchcraft knowledge, and began to guide Grimm's first anatomical exercise intentionally or unintentionally. Of course, because the teacher taught patiently and the student studied seriously, neither of them noticed anything wrong.

So, with Kirby's "assistance", Grim successfully completed his first anatomy exercise.

It was not until Grim took off his thin deerskin gloves with satisfaction and threw them into the trash can beside the operating table along with his white robe that Kirby, the green goblin, suddenly realized his "overstepping" and hurriedly jumped off the wooden stool and squatted beside him waiting for his master's punishment.

"You did a good job today. It seems that you have learned a lot from that level 2 wizard, so I will assist you in all my structural and anatomy exercises in the future." Grim smiled gently and said, "Get up! Do you think I will punish you for doing nothing wrong just for a little vanity? Well, clean up here, it's time for lunch again!"

Throwing away the sundries in his hand, Grim returned to his residence leisurely, leaving only Kirby with a confused face.

Looking at the bloody "slaughterhouse" behind him and smelling the pungent smell of blood, Kirby thought for a while and finally understood why his master didn't put the dissection table in his house.

It turned out that he was afraid of affecting his appetite!

Such a master is really special. Kirby thought quietly. chapter;
