Age of Adepts

Chapter 318 Puppet Life

Grab the wooden box and gently push it to open a dark lattice below.

Inside, a black stone lies quietly there.

Grimm pinched it with his fingers and held it in silence. On his retina, through the powerful visual scanning capability of the chip, only the black stone of the stomach size was continuously enlarged, enlarged...

The first thing he saw was a creepy, mosquito-like groove and pattern that haunted each other, connected together with complex and unusual symbolic lines, and together formed a small array of symbols. Once a free magic element in the air touches the black stone, it slowly blends in, lighting one or two adjacent arrays in between.

To be able to see this, Grimm is able to magnify the visual image a hundred times with the power of the chip. Without the chip aid, Grimm would only see the black stone shining a little bit of starlight, impossible to dialysis it so intuitively into its basic operating mechanism.

Puppet stone, a proprietary material that the Silver Union expressly prohibits from selling to the outside world, can be used to briefly activate some puppet assemblies. It is also one of the most frequently used consumables by Ouija Wizards!

This puppet stone in front of you only refers to the belly size and can only be used to activate some small puppet configurations. To activate large and medium puppet assemblies like metal figurines, you can only rely on the mind of the puppet.

Grim would not have been able to obtain such special items of control had it not been for the visit to the Wizard Tower of a member of the League.

“Chip, make sure you keep track!” Grimm calmly commanded.

“Di, the Puppet Stone 5th Experimental Archive has been created… Dynamic data capture now begins…”

Grimm crushed the puppet stone without any hesitation.

Almost instantly, a lot of white smoke spreads through the puppet stone.

These white cigarettes appear to be intelligent, not scattered, but gathered together and hovered in the air. In other words, they discovered the presence of a wooden puppet and then suddenly struck a spin in the air and burst into the wooden puppet.

The next second, the wooden puppet, like a suddenly resurrected life, sat up on a stone platform and began to cough violently.

Meanwhile, Grimm's various arrays of symbols applied beforehand to the wooden puppet with invisible material began to light up and emerge on the wooden puppet's brown wooden body surface.

Mostly lit up.

Of course, there are some exceptions!

The cracks on the right leg of the wooden puppet obviously undermined the integrity of the symbolic formation there, and black smoke gushed out of the cracks as a crackling light rang.

The activated wooden puppet climbed hard from the stone platform.

It can be seen that the severely damaged right leg makes it seem clumsy and slow.

I have to say, Grimm's craftsmanship in making wooden puppets sucks!

Whether it's a wooden puppet's barbed wire palm, a wooden framed skinned wing, or a nailed body, it's like a young toddler's cluttered handicraft, rough, simple and invisible.

But with this strange white cigarette activated, everything seems to be optimized!

The wooden puppet stood up painstakingly, squeaking his wrists, neck and shoulders as he pressed his chest and respectfully saluted: “Nice to meet you, my lord! Billy the Wooden Puppet reports to you! ”

This is a slightly childish voice.

Although it is not the first time that a pile of "garbage” made up of wood, nails, wire, coils and cloth has been resurrected in front of itself and has not been inferior to the primary wisdom of ordinary human beings, Grimm's heart is still filled with a strange feeling of error and absurdity.

This is a strange world!

“Report your condition!” Grimm gave Billy the resurrected wooden puppet the first instruction.

“Uh...” Billy started trying to move his various body parts, even slapping the ‘wings’ twice behind him to verify they were still intact.

“Reporter, this body is really bad enough. ”

“My heart seems to be having some problems, which makes me breathless.” The wooden puppet gently hammered his chest with an 'iron hand' and gasped hard.

Grimm's gaze concentrated on the wooden puppet's chest, and through a thick wooden shell, he clearly saw a magic crystal embedded in the bullet array. At this moment, the array has begun to run wildly, continuously extracting basic magic from the Crystal and importing it into the script line.

It's just that a place where an array of symbols connects appears to be somewhat imprecise, some of them lit up, and some of the arrays remain bleak, which leads to some uncoordinated cartoons in the movement of the puppet.

“Dip, the energy control center is scanned! A total of 37 fault points were found, including 3 technical faults, 33 faults due to low fabrication process and 1 fault due to material deterioration… Final evaluation: 24.18% energy utilization…”

“How much more could energy utilization be achieved if manufacturing processes were improved? ”

“Drops, after eliminating all material and process failures, energy utilization is expected to reach 57.33% …”

“Why are you still so low? Energy utilization is just over half the time!” Grimm asked puzzled.

“Low material grade and severe energy overflow. To continue to improve energy utilization, we recommend using wooden puppets to make the following materials: Tree Man Core, Magic Iron Alloy, Magic Silver..."

Shit, you get what you paid for!

Everyone understands that.

Wasting these precious resources on a hands-on wooden puppet is a loser!

Grim directly rejected the chip tip in his heart.

“Fly up and let me see!” Grimm ordered.

The wooden puppet Billy immediately stood up and the ugly ‘wings’ behind him began to beat up rapidly. As a cool breeze struck, the wooden puppet began to float slowly.

In Grimm's elemental vision, the fluorescence emitted by the energy center beneath the wooden puppet's chest immediately climbed three levels. Some energy lines have conflicting symbolic arrays that immediately emit punctual fluorescence.

“Billy, stop flying now!” Grimm hastily gave the order at first sight.

Too bad it's too late.

With a slight burst, the wooden puppet Billy immediately developed heavy black smoke and a fine crack in his chest.

“Ah... I... can't... I'm... dying! ”

After a noisy scream, the wooden puppet, which had just floated to the height of Grimm's head, suddenly twisted at a standstill and fell obliquely.

Grim reached for it.

The whole body has been twisted and torn apart. The disfigured wooden puppet coughed a few more times and then stopped bouncing. Then the strange white smoke spilled out of the wooden puppet, slowly spreading in the air.

Billy the Wooden Puppet is really dead!

A puppet life with primary wisdom came to an end in less than 126 seconds!

And the most important cause of its death was the indiscriminate manufacture of this wooden puppet's body. If, I mean, Grim was a little bit careful making this wooden puppet, maybe he could get a wooden puppet for good.

However, such a wooden puppet with a humble body has no fighting power or special abilities and needs to be replaced from time to time. To be honest, there's no point in having such a low-order puppet creature!

Grimm is not a child who needs to be accompanied by a doll, so that even if a fake puppet's life dies, he can't lift a half-slice in his heart!

Grimm took the opportunity to collect some before the white smoke disappeared.

To date, he has fully mastered the basics of puppet biofabrication, and the only thing that has not yet been clarified is how these puppet stones operate and the composition of white smoke.

How do they penetrate the interior of the puppet assembly? And how do you control the array system? More importantly, where did the primary wisdom they were born from come from?

This... is actually the core problem Grim has been trying to figure out over and over again!

It is clear to Grim, who has been in initial contact with the frontal war, that the essence of the frontal war is aggression, which is plunder!

Witches struggle to find the coordinates of one planetary world after another in the depths of the lost stars. Why? Run over there and say hello to the local Aboriginal people, sit down for coffee, talk about the day, and then talk about your life's ideals?

Only those who are weak will remain so naive, so idealistic!

It can attract wizards not far from the hundreds of millions of miles across the starry sea, risk being suppressed by situational consciousness, endure the death siege of the local indigenous people, not just the abundance of resources and massive slaves in every material level that are so heartbreaking!

Once a position has been struck, the resources and population in that position can be demanded.

Such wealth and resources, if concentrated in the hands of a wizard, can rapidly grow. No more painstaking rushes to find a little bit of resources, no more exploring the heinous and terrible ancient ruins to earn the crystals to buy materials.

Seriously, nearly half of a wizard's life is probably a drain on the way to gathering knowledge and resources from East Pennsylvania!

And to avoid that, you have to have the basic strength to take a position.

Personal strength is one!

Cluster power is another!

With Grimm's current strength, if you want to run into another material surface, it's simply to send a human head!

Even the worst physical level of overall strength, there will be powerful individuals with up to three or four levels of strength. Although they may not be as powerful as the powerful in the world of wizards, they are still more than enough to crush small first-order wizards like Grimm.

So the goal Grimm set himself was to try to reach level 2.

Grimm can only reach the minimum power threshold of the invasion sublevel if it becomes level 2!

And in order to supplement the invasion, the greatest help to him is undoubtedly the puppet corps, the Demon Puppet Corps, which has no expense. Only these loyal elemental creatures, puppet creatures, will not raise loyalty issues and Grimm will be able to use them with confidence and boldness.

So for a long period of time to come, Grimm, in addition to his efforts to improve his strength, will also seek to strengthen the strength and quantity of puppets and puppets.

As for Mary, Alice and Kabby, Grimm is a “hero” who strives to pull into his own camp.

The huge world is not something a man can beat down with bare hands, Grimm really needs to find himself some good help if necessary!
