Age of Adepts

Fei Denan City, Mage Tower.

A large puppet hall has been created in Grimm's residence.

At this moment, inside the hall, it looks a little lame.

The corners of the hall are filled with wooden boxes large and small, several of which have been opened, revealing neat metal ingots that have been placed by the yard inside. Metallic ingots are cast into rectangles, shimmering in the bright, soft light of the lobby.

These are ferrous alloys, each filled with an appropriate amount of special ore, so they have a strange effect that ordinary metals don't have.

At the corner of the hall, a simple version of the magic furnace is standing right there, with three thick stone column-like feet in three different Mysterious Witch Arrays. Violent and ferocious streams of elements between the Wizard Tower's energies are pouring through them into the furnace, turning into flames of hot, flickering elements that rage inside the furnace.

With two muscular knots, the skin-oiled, sweat-soaked Dwarf Forge Master stands on a wooden stool by the furnace, waving a hammer the size of his head, and a hard-working hammer striking an alloy of magic iron that has been burned red and white.

Huge metal buzzing deafening!

While the three Wizard Apprentices gathered around the magic furnace, they adjusted the Witch Array beneath the foot of the furnace to control the element flame temperature in the furnace constantly at 5,380 degrees. This temperature is enough to melt the magic ingot.

In addition to the three apprentices who control the magic furnace, a dozen apprentices are also busy.

Some apprentices are directing three powerful giants up to three metres in shape, constantly sending ferrous metal ingots into the furnace. Whenever the furnace wall on the side of the magic furnace opens, terrible hot flame streams erupt under intense pressure.

Several wizard apprentices are alright, with a bright red light film on their bodies that effectively separates the burns of high temperature flames. However, several giants did not have the ability to do so, and were forced to withstand the smell of the burning of their flesh and fertilize the ferrous ingot into the furnace.

And when the ingots are softened by the flames of the elements, they also need to take them out and hand them over to the two dwarf casting masters, who will then strive to knock the ingots into the shape they need.

At the other end of the hall, Grimm is lying on a sturdy stone platform, carefully and carefully drawing the engineering drawings of the puppet assembly. At the corner of the stone platform, countless engineering drawings or rolls or stalls are stacked there, each filled with strange puppet beasts of varying forms and functions.

And beside Grimm, a silver-white, one-meter, eight-height doll is silently doing some auxiliary work.

“Magic pen... triangle board... help me find the head part of the Spider Puppet Beast... well done... go give me a sample of the No. 7 Magic Alloy... put it there first and get the basic data of the Spider Puppet...”

With Grimm's individual orders, this engineered puppet with a human shape and an entire body made of Burmese soft alloy is able to accomplish the task accurately and quickly each time. With its assistance, Grimm was able to devote herself to her own design work.

Though in his mind, the chip database contains hundreds of puppet assembly basic data and engineering fabrication drawings. But going through these puppet configurations, it's hard for Grimm to find a perfectly satisfying one.

Grimm, who has memories of previous generations, knows very well that the mechanical warriors that have appeared on Earth and the metal figures of this world are fundamentally different. Mechanical assemblies on Earth tend to be refined and agile, delineating their strength and weakness with powerful artificial intelligence and robust remote fire.

But the metallic figures of this world, by virtue of their extraordinary power, did not deliberately imitate human form. After all, the human form of the puppet has too many lethal flaws and is not suitable as a puppet construct for the main battle type.

Like the metal fighter who was defeated by the Flaming Tyrant in the City of Sky, it was a human figure. Once the legs are visibly damaged, its ability to move will drop in a straight line, making it a metal target that the enemy can knead at will.

So the steel puppet tailored for Alice, in order to avoid this embarrassment, Grimm, assisted by a chip, screened many puppet biotypes, eventually choosing a more mature spider shape.

Although the analytical alignment and data processing capabilities of the chip are strong, in the face of a puppet beast of witchcraft that has never been experienced, a process of remodeling and reprogramming the complete system is still needed.

So Grimm opened this puppet hall in his own home, just to accumulate a little bit of experience building puppet beasts and prepare for the later stages.

Grimm's anticipated Spider Puppet Beast is a fearful giant beast with a disc-shaped metal body that protrudes around four pairs of high-strength metal joints. You don't need a human body, you don't need a skull, you don't need a noticeable goal that can easily attract fire.

To better protect Alice, it is best to leave Alice an entrance and exit inside the Spider Puppet Beast.

And Spider Puppet Beast's main attack method, currently tentatively, is the magic artillery from Goblin Kabi. However, with chip optimization and adjustment, the Magic Artillery's attack energy is more concentrated so that it can better break through enemy shields.

As for his own protection, on the one hand, he relied on the strength of various ferrous alloys and special metals, and on the other, Grimm was prepared to install stress-type energy masks on all parts of the spider puppet. This way, with both physical and witchcraft protection, Alice's safety is even more secure!

After all, according to Grimm's offensive system for Alice, the Spider Puppet Beast is primarily used to defend, and the real attacker should be the Flaming Tyrant.

In the past, Alice's spiritual strength fell short, and it was impossible to drive a puppet at the level of Flaming Tyrant. But now, as she advances to the ranks of a witch, as long as she can raise her spiritual strength to 3: 00 before the Battle of Destiny begins, she also has the possibility to summon a fiery tyrant.

Thus, when she encounters an enemy, as long as she hides herself in the Spider Puppet Beast, she summons a fiery tyrant. Even if Grimm meets such an enemy, I'm afraid he'll have to detour!

As for Alice's strange spatial ability to blend the Vacant Stone and still retain it, being her personal killer is not taken into account by Grimm.

With Grimm's current knowledge reserves, he has not been able to parse detailed data from all parts of the puppet beast based solely on the data analysis of the chip. So what he's building now is some miniaturized spider puppets that he's using to test some of the ideas and assumptions in his mind.

Spider Puppet Beast disc-shaped body needs to be redesigned to find the proportions of the new Magic Iron Alloy... How should the balance point be adjusted once the four pairs of spider puppet limbs are damaged to ensure that not too much speed is lost... How should the energy center of the spider puppet be erected to maximize the output energy...

Each task requires a lot of computation of the chip to obtain the best data, and the accuracy of these best data requires physical validation to be assured.

So for some time, Grimm spent almost every day in this puppet hall, working hard day and night to create a spider puppet for Alice.

…………

In another residence adjacent to Grimm's residence.

In an equally spacious and huge secret hall, Alice sits on a tray leg with a platinum-forged hammer in her hand, banging a tortoise in front of her.

With the exception of Alice and two large baskets, there is virtually no furniture, belongings and decorations left in Nodak's secret hall.

As the hammer went down, the palm-sized turtle armor immediately smashed into four or five pieces of uneven size.

Whenever this happens, Alice is excited to lie in front of a broken tortoise, carefully discussing the extent to which the tortoise is broken, whispering strange syllables that are difficult for outsiders to understand.

Most of the time, of course, she had nothing to gain, not even the most basic culprits.

Sometimes, however, as some mystical patterns appear on the turtle armor fragments, some fragmented scenes suddenly appear in Alice's mind.

Unfortunately, these images are either turbulent or headless, and many times, even Alice can't carry the rules of destiny exactly what she wants to tell herself through these things.

Without exception, Alice wanted to spy on all the divination prayers of that Nina witch, as if Nina Witch Week had a powerful field of divination that was impenetrable and had no message to give back.

With the power of a first-degree witch to spy on a second-degree witch, it has to be said that Alice is truly a brave, brave woman.

With her spiritual strength, she can only perform astrology five times a day at most. Once the quota is exhausted, thinking about divination, it is no longer mental and physical strength that is lost, but life force that is to be replaced.

Four failed breaths today, and the successive failures upset Alice.

One piece at a time threw the tortoise shards into the waste basket on the left, Alice, and that's when she touched another piece of turtle clap-sized turtle armor from the basket on the right.

This is a dragon turtle piece of armor.

Since tortoises also possess the blood of giant dragons, they are also a species of dragon organism. So its turtle armor scale is the most suitable material for divination witchcraft.

Looks like spying on a high-ranking wizard with her own strength is simply a daydream. Alice was frowning and wondering how to use this last divination technique when she suddenly remembered that something had to get excited again.

It's not easy to spy on high-ranking wizards, but it should be a lot easier to spy on an opponent close to your own strength, right?

Alice's eyes shined, her mouth chanting softly, and the platinum hammer in her hand slammed hard on the tortoise armor.

“Power of Destiny, let me see the most powerful enemy in the Battle of Destiny! ”

Hammer down.

Fluorescent!
