Age of Adepts

Put the already crippled wooden puppet on a small alchemy table, and the rest of the job is to do a full and detailed autopsy of it.

Since it's hard to crack the mysteries hidden in the puppet stone from the front, Grimm can only change angles. Start with the traces of the puppet's petrified white smoke and see what magical changes have taken place in this pile of "garbage” after the puppet's primary wisdom was born into Billy.

If you look at the wooden puppet as a piece of computer hardware, white smoke is a software operating system that integrates all resources. Grimm's only curiosity is whether these primary-smart white cigarettes are a witchcraft effect or a biologically cleansed and treated soul!

Yes, Grimm was highly skeptical during his first puppet stone test that these white cigarettes were most likely soul fragments extracted from some intelligent creatures by the Silver Alliance. And to be so intelligent, I'm afraid only human beings can do that.

For example, subordinate indigenous‘ human ’…

A low-order puppet stone is quoted as 15 Magic Crystals inside the Silver Alliance, and in some underground black markets, it may have reached 40 Magic Crystals. Grimm estimated that a low-order puppet stone might require the soul of 3—5 indigenous peoples to succeed, given that the soul strength of indigenous peoples was slightly weaker than that of ordinary people in the witch world.

These indigenous peoples are not worthy of subordination, and buying thousands of ordinary slaves in the Magic Crystal is routine.

Unfortunately, however, only those slaves with strange abilities and special talents deserve to be brought back to the world of wizards, otherwise their value will not match the foundational costs of cross-faceted hyper-remote transmission. So on the enchantress continent, war slaves from the heretics are seldom seen.

Few, however, do not mean no.

Those Dwarf architects, blacksmiths, half-baked gourmands, elf handsome beauties, fairy world elves, and the five-color dragons that are best suited for flying demons… even in the towers of wizards of many powerful wizards, there are some 'slaves’ from the lower echelons of enchantment, lust, dark elves, etc.

These superb ‘slaves’ are hot ‘commodities’ even in the world of wizards. If a subdivision occupied by a family of wizards were to discover these uniquely capable ethnic creatures, the slave trade alone would be full of money.

But for those subordinates, the greatest number of indigenous spirits are those without skill. These ordinary creatures are simply worthless, trafficking them into the world of wizards, and I'm afraid the crystals sold are not worth the toll. So the usual practice is to force them to dig and maximize the benefits for the wizard family.

If puppet stone manufacturing plants can be built directly inside the sub-surface, like the Silver Alliance, and the vast exotic population resources can be converted into transportable, more valuable alchemy, then the Silver Alliance will inevitably reap tenfold or even hundredfold of its revenues.

After all, mass killing of living beings is strictly forbidden in the wizarding world. It is also possible to commit such an extinction only at a subordinate level of unregulation!

With the ultra-powerful data scanning and analysis capabilities of the chip, Grimm finally discovered signs of a soul invasion in the wooden puppet. This also confirms his previous assumptions from the side.

The Silver Union has been doing brutal and bloody things in the subordinate positions it occupies!

Grimm, however, had no intention of accusing him of anything.

After all, all the wizard families are doing similar things, but to a very different extent!

Perhaps it is because of these factors that the wizard world is classified as an evil camp, and the wizards naturally become evil creatures that people fear.

The composition and operating mechanism of the puppet stone were studied, but the help to Grimm remains modest. After all, the puppet stone is only an aid, and the greatest effect is actually to store the white smoke of the soul in it. And for psychology, Grimm doesn't do much research. So he still doesn't understand how the Oracle Wizards do this series of soul extraction, refining, cleansing, and perfusion storage.

Seems like only those Necromancers who specialize in spiritualism are better at these tricks!

Did the Silver League hire a lot of Necromancers to work for them? Or did they invent some kind of machine that could do this sophisticated job?

Too many possibilities, perhaps only those puppet stone-making factories that infiltrate the subordinate position of the Silver Union will be able to obtain completely authentic first-hand intelligence.

However, the major organizations have always been extremely tightly blocked from subordinate positions under their control. How difficult it is not to join their families or sign soul contracts to infiltrate!

This can be seen from the Sarubo clan's control of the knighthood.

Grimm is, in any case, already an internal wizard of the Sarubo family, and has been a great fighter in the process of capturing the knighthood. But once he opted out of the cavalry, the position coordinates of the cavalry were “retracted”.

In Grimm's mind, even with the chip aid, he never remembered where the knight was. In this way, the Salubo family does not have to worry about the subordinate coordinates of their great interests being leaked.

During the last Dark Forest War, Grimm killed two wizards and searched them for valuable witchcraft notes and books. By scanning, summarizing and organizing the contents, Grimm once again confirmed his future path.

He's elementarized his body, but it's only half-elemented. If Grimm wants to strike a level 2 wizard smoothly, mental elementarization is a prep he must complete.

And the chip's assessment of this is that Grimm will only be able to complete mental elementalization after nearly a hundred years of precipitation. And this long journey must also take advantage of some of nature's special environments, such as lava volcanoes…

So Grimm has been going through maps of the scattered Tallinn area for some time, looking around for a hidden place that suits him. But in the meantime, he needs to take care of Alice.

After all, Alice's witchcraft talent for destiny is also an ability he values. If successful, Alice will also have a very important place in his life plan in the future!

…………

Out of the lab, Grimm received a message from Wizard Kogan about his sorcery.

The resources for Alice's promotion wizards have been fully redeployed and the promotion ceremony can be held whenever Alice is ready. And of course it all needs Grimm to pay for it!

It didn't take much work, and the door to the residence was knocked.

Grimm opened the door and discovered that one of the men under the Kogan Wizard, Maguta, had arrived.

Behind him is a group of ordinary apprentices with wooden boxes large and small in their hands.

“Lord Grimm, this is the promotion resource that Lord Kogan instructed me to give you. Please check! ”

With that long list of resources, Grim feels a little wet in his orbit.

Destiny, that's how it fucks!

In that time, his promotion was almost as hot as water, and his luck was slightly less likely to be the target of someone else's blood offering. Now, all Alice needs to do is stay in the room and eat and drink, fat and white, and the rest of it is under Grimm's auspices.

This is probably the difference in fate!

After a deep and dark emotion, Grim stabilized his mind, carefully and carefully counted the list of resources and items, and then smoothly signed off and sent them away.

So much so that the mark of witchcraft branded on it, Grimm's body instantly shrunk 13. The Sarubo family is not obliged to pay for this expensive promotion because it is his personal ‘belongings’ that will keep Alice alive.

Besides, even if the Cogan Wizard intentionally wanted to pay for Alice's promotion, Grimm wouldn't have allowed it.

Alice must be his‘ man ’first, and then the Sarubo Wizard.

Grim must persevere at all times with this!

At this time, the apprentices belonging to the Grim family came to the wind.

They came just in time, and Grimm handed them over the reprocessing of those resources.

Sarogo, a special fruit from barbaric forests. Treated and consumed, it improves the physical vitality of the living individual in the short term, without any after-effects.

Protozoa, a strange insect that uses witchcraft to cultivate. Eating before promotion significantly improves mental resilience and is a rare supplementary resource for promotion.

Malodorant, a magic medicine that uses the potential to burn life to enhance mental strength.

Water of Life, a strange thing from the Elf Race of different worlds, can nourish the vitality of severe shortages after the promotion ceremony.

……

……

The Sarubo Clan brings an impressive list of resources, each of which is a highly targeted and valuable resource and has a tremendous auxiliary role for upward wizards.

However, these resources are sealed in special witch formations in order to avoid the erosion of their effectiveness. So if you want to use it, you can only temporarily unpack it and then follow a regular process to process it.

Grimm handed them over to his apprentices for these complicated tasks.

And he, wholeheartedly, begins to deduce Alice's promotion ritual!

Summarizing all aspects of intelligence and information, and taking into account the effects of the various auxiliary resources, the success rate of the chip projection in his mind was 67.71 per cent.

Even if Alice has an extraordinary gift that is beyond the reach of the outside world, even if Alice has many precious resources, even if Alice has the halo of a Destiny Witch... but all this adds up, her chances of success in promotion are barely more than half.

From this, you can see how difficult it is in the wizarding world to successfully advance from a quasi-wolf wizard!

When everything was ready, Alice adjusted her mind and spirit and prepared to enter the Chamber with the resources and ritual items that Grimm had prepared for her.

In order not to let one discover the abnormality in one's body, Alice had to wear a robe to conceal the loss of a half-baked body in the form of material presence.

At the door, she received the blessings of Kodal, Meryl, Am, Torre and Lina.

“Sister, you will succeed!” Kodal, as one of Grimm's two quasi-warriors, was the first to go forward and express his blessings.

“You're going to be a beautiful witch!” Meryl said softly in Alice's ear.

Quasi-Witch to the rank of Wizard, is a sublimation of the essence of life. With this opportunity, Alice also has the chance to break through the seal of destiny and get herself out of the state where she was forever sealed at the moment of her eight-year-old awakening.

“Sister, the next time I see you, I'm going to call you Lord Wizard...” Am grinning silly.

“I have confidence in you...” Torre shouted beside him.

“Must succeed!” Lina had an enviable hot eye in her eyes.

Followed by the speedy goblin Kabi.

This guy actually brought Alice a wooden sculpture shaped like a native goblin, hardly to say it was a fortunate gift from the Goblin Clan.

After all, promotion is a big thing, and any unknown objects that may have an impact on the ritual cannot be brought in, so the wooden carvings were confiscated directly by Grimm.

Alice stood in front of the door and looked around so she could look at Grimm.

“I'm waiting for you!” Grim's blessings are simple and straightforward.

Alice nodded and turned firmly into the Chamber of Secrets.
