Age of Adepts

Giant Swamp Alligator is dead.

Died in the hands of two blind little men!

Grimm commanded the Earth Magic Puppet to quickly dismember the Crocodile Crocodile, harvesting some important biological material and a pigeon-egg-sized earth crystal nucleus, and then ran off before many swampy crocodiles approached.

And as Grimm disappeared at the end of the trail, behind a ghost tree less than half a mile from the battlefield, Mary the Red was staring at the distant, angry swamp giant crocodile. Beneath her, 14 corpses of rotten crows were discarded in a skewed manner.

She watched the whole Grimm battle just now, which forced her to shush a little.

Giant Swamp Alligator?

That's a horrible monster she won't even mess with!

Though Swamp Crocodile has only a senior apprenticeship, and she is also a senior apprentice, that's not how real warfare counts. With her super agility, the swamp giant crocodile won't even touch her horn with wings. But the thick, desperate squamous armor of the swamp giant crocodile could not be broken by her “weak” attack.

Really, Swamp Alligator can't catch her, and she can't beat Swamp Alligator.

So Mary the Red clearly knows her limits of ability. She may be able to abuse many sorcerer apprentices in times when there is no good defense. But as the strength of the apprentice continues to grow, so will her advantages.

And now, a blind junior apprentice, "Little Brother," is hiding such a tactic that he can live and grind this swamp giant crocodile with that weird mud puppet.

This... this really makes her a little uncomfortable!

Looking at the shattered corpse of the crow under her, her eyes seemed a little disoriented.

That's her own “dick"! When did he become the main force in the battle and become a servant who beat his hand and cleared his peripheral eyes? For no reason, Mary had a rage in her heart, and a line of blood stained her green eyes.

He is the boss, and he is just a little brother, this secondary relationship must not be changed! Looks like it's time to teach this self-righteous “man” a lesson. Although he used to be nice to himself, that was no reason for him to ride on his head. Well, teach him a lesson when you get back!

Pressing the manic, boring cry from the bottom of her heart, Mary's body was a front-runner and turned into a petite bloodsucking bat, with her wings slapped and disappeared on the spot.

Grimm smiled brilliantly when Marie knocked on the door with anger.

Grimm presented his gift as he pulled Marie into the room.

“Mary, look what this is. Don't you like the blood of the strong? Do you think this will help? ”

The raunchy, sticky blood in the pottery can was held by Grimm's hands in front of Mary, while his face sparkled with a glimmer of anticipation and a look of hope for praise.

“This... what is this?” Maritime Em said.

Somehow, the momentum just came to her, the anger suddenly dissipated, even with his own words some cartoon.

“Don't ask. Try it first, see if you like it! I did a lot this time. If you like it, I'll go to the lab and purify them and remove the smell, which will definitely taste better! ”

Mary in red tightened her pretty face, rather unreasonable criticism.

“Where do you get gifts like this? Not even a decent decoration, served directly in a rough pot. At the very least, replace it with a crystal clear high foot crystal cup! And how did you extract this blood? Don't you know that the sweetest thing in life is blood? For your sincerity, I forgive you for being rude this time. Next time, remember to pack them up and dedicate them to me! ”

“Understood, understood... Understood, understood... this... Mary! If you look at so many things, it may take a lot of time to complete them at once. My knowledge points may not be enough...”

Red Mary Bright Green's glasses flashed into a line with a dangerous light.

“What, are you borrowing from me? ”

“Where and where... just borrow it for a moment and wait till I sell it and return it to you.” Grimm couldn't help laughing. This time, the Earth's crystalline nucleus was clearly superior to the previous one, and there was more room for the Chen Witchcraft. How to make more rational use of it has also become a challenge.

The departure time was getting closer and less time was being left for him, and there were several pressing things to do at the moment.

The soil crystal core that has just been harvested is undoubtedly one.

Grimm already has an alternative idea for this nucleus. Since it is the crystal nucleus of the earth system, why can't we connect the summoned earth demon puppet energy? Isn't it better to split up and share energy in unison?

With this new idea of Grimm, the chip has already done its initial calculations, and only a part of the witchcraft knowledge of energy connectivity and soul synergy needs to be formally constructed.

And the second thing Grimm is waiting for is proper defensive witchcraft.

His current mastery of two kinds of fire witchcraft, one close to him and one with a bit of self-defense, and the other with purely long-range attacks, has always left him with a huge gap in personal protection. If he doesn't want to improve it, he's always a strangler to strangle in front of those senior apprentices.

The evil worm Ntik, divided by insects, is simply an indestructible little strongman, not afraid of enemy attacks at all. The Mad Woman has a very high health and her own attack power is indestructible, and she never has to worry about her own safety. Hawkeye Crusader's abilities are unknown. Mary Redcoat is extremely agile and has the horror of rebirth by sucking blood, so she is also a small and powerful figure.

These senior apprentices who are able to gather information already have their own complete and systematic witchcraft paths. Whether offensive or defensive, they have their own unique means of response, and the power they exhibit varies greatly. But whoever it is faced with, Grimm is not sure to survive them.

This is where Grimm is now flawed.

Due to a lack of knowledge and lack of resources, Grimm, even in junior apprenticeships, has not so far truly chosen his own path and therefore there is no witchcraft system built around his witchcraft path.

Previously, he aspired to become a rule-wizard and had some means of being an Oracle wizard. But without his efforts to do so, this damn compulsory mission interrupted his normal path forward.

If he had previously intended, he should now devote the vast majority of his resources to the fundamentals and theories of fire witchcraft in an effort to improve his spirituality and allow himself to catch up with the larger army and become an intermediate apprentice. The process, according to his estimates, would take at least three months to begin to bear fruit.

But now there's a red nightmare of compulsion on your head, and when the time comes, if you don't have the means to deal with it, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to regret it and die in that dreadful dark hole. To that end, Grimm had to adjust his resource allocation plan to put all the chips on the summoning puppet.

And the immediate consequence of this is that Grim is going bankrupt!

He doesn't have enough knowledge points to go to the Alchemy Lab, enough knowledge points to collect defensive witchcraft, and he doesn't have enough gold coins to buy some suitable props...

Others can be released, but there is not enough knowledge to support the refinement of the new crystal nucleus. This is what really kills Grim. Otherwise, he wouldn't have skinned to fall wind on Mary.

Marie glanced closely at Grimm and nodded silently.

With an "investment” from Mary, Grimm immediately rushed to the Alchemy Lab, choosing a super luxurious seven-hour window.

This time the swamp giant crocodile left his earthly nucleus with pigeon egg size, according to the chip design, in addition to a few basics to control witch arrays, more space can be reserved for energy nodes. So the core of the last Summoning Puppet has only 4 energy nodes, and this one will reach as many as 9.

More energy nodes also mean more sophisticated Witch Array designs, and more architectural changes like cow hair, so the chip has been busy calculating and testing this from the moment it gets to the core.

And when Grimm handles all sorts of sorcery materials beforehand, the chip does the job.

“Di, the latest Magic Puppet Summoning Crystal Nuclear Structure Design has been completed, do you want to transfer data? ”

“Transfer! ”

With a stream of data, Grimm closed his eyes and finally saw this quantified 3D witch array.

In fine numbers, as many as 15 large and small witch arrays need to be etched on the surface of the pigeon-sized summoning nucleus, and they also need to be hooked together to form a finer, larger, perfect witch array. Such work can only be accomplished so quickly with a chip, and Grimm can't even decipher most of the symbolic structure in it.

After several attempts, Grimm had to abandon this self-inflicting, unnecessary comparison and turn to issues that needed attention during etching.

The chip is like a powerful aid, aided by Grimm's ability to avoid knowledge and skill deficiencies and break down the whole job directly into countless simple and direct local operations. With trivial local manipulation, Grimm, the first brother of Alchemy, can accomplish the complex syntax structure that only Master Alchemy can master.

So at this point, Grimm is more worried about not being able to do the job, but whether his mental abilities can sustain such a huge and cumbersome task.

But he doesn't seem to have much of a retreat.

Assemble the Magic Puppet Squad you need as soon as possible, complete the optimization of the attack method, and then squeeze the time to master a defensive witchcraft, allowing yourself to defeat both benefits. This is the key to surviving this mission!

Grimm took a deep breath and once again stood in front of the alchemy table, eliminating all the myths and dedicating herself to the production of a new summoning nucleus.
