Chapter 0216 Underground Maze
It took Grimm a whole cup of hot tea to use the elemental fire to remove a thin layer of the icicle.
He was the one who did the hard work, but it was the chip that completed the analysis of the composition of the icicle without missing a single detail.
After all, in terms of data collection and analysis alone, the chip's ability is more than ten or a hundred times stronger than his. This is still limited and constrained by his weak mental power. In the future, as his mental power slowly grows, the ability of the chip will be further magnified.
Therefore, Grimm put aside the idea of comparing with the chip, and concentrated on melting the icicle bit by bit, and then carefully and meticulously analyzed the composition of the ice crystals, the characteristics of the arrangement and separation of spiritual elements, and the form of the combination of spiritual elements and material elements...
In this, Grimm can sense the existence of spiritual elements everywhere.
In his past cognition, matter is matter, elements are elements, and spirit is spirit. The three parties are three individuals with completely different forms of existence, individual characteristics, and operating methods. However, through the analysis of the icicles in front of him, Grimm painfully discovered that his past division of these substances was broken.
The three parties do not seem to be completely independent individuals that cannot blend!
In Grimm's cognition, matter is the visible entity that constitutes the material world. From soil, firewood, and rivers to rivers, lakes, seas, mountains, and land, these are all part of the material world and can be touched by human senses. Therefore, matter is the foundation of the material world!
In this regard, the earth in the previous life and the current alien world are no different.
Elements are a mysterious substance that cannot be seen or touched. They are everywhere and at all times, like an endless ocean, immersing the entire multiverse in it, floating and sinking.
From the perspective of the entire multiverse, elements are balanced, but if viewed from a certain local area, elements also have tidal phenomena. More or less, thick or thin, always different.
The diversified presentation of the material plane is actually most directly related to the density of the elemental particles in which it is located.
In this regard, the Earth in the past life is fundamentally different from the alien world of today.
In the history of the Earth in the past life, there were many gods, and there were also many mysterious ancient myths and legends. Those ancient gods and immortals seemed to be omnipotent. But the Earth in later generations deprived people of this magical ability.
If it were in the past, Grimm would only regard these rumors about the ancient Earth as a kind of delusion and dream talk of the ancients. But now he doesn't think so!
Maybe, it is very likely that the ancient Earth was also a world full of elemental energy, which allowed people living in that era to transcend weakness and control stronger power. However, with the change of elemental tides, the elemental energy on the earth began to fade, so humans were beaten back to their original form and could only abandon mysticism and pick up technology as a weapon again.
So the magical substance of elements is the behind-the-scenes hand that dominates the changes in the material plane!
So what are elements?
It is impossible for ordinary humans to perceive elemental particles with their naked eyes. Even if you immerse yourself in it day and night, with every breath, countless elemental particles come in and out, but you have no direct means to perceive and verify its existence.
The only way for humans to contact elemental particles is meditation, using the spirit as a bridge to meditate, so that the real existence can touch the illusory elemental particles.
It is precisely because of the existence of elemental particles that the spirit becomes a kind of power!
Ordinary people stare and stamp their feet, nothing will happen, and their weak power cannot change this material world at all. But when a great wizard stares and stamps his feet, the elements triggered by his spirit form a kind of power, a power that can pry the plane laws and world rules, change the color of the sky and the earth, and change the course of rivers...
In the past, Grimm distinguished these three very clearly and defined their detailed boundaries. But now, when he vaguely sensed the existence of spiritual elements in the icicle, his past knowledge structure inevitably had huge cracks.
He was very lucky that he successfully completed the elementalization of his body with the help of the flame scepter during his apprenticeship. This made his control over the fire element particles more exquisite and profound, and also made him quickly become a powerful fire wizard as soon as he became a wizard.
For the subsequent promotion path, many books mentioned the term "spiritual elementalization". However, there is no detailed description of how the spirit is elementalized, or even directly blank. Regarding this point, Grimm once suspected that this was a means for the wizard family to monopolize knowledge and gather talents.
For those first-level wizards, if they want to continue to make progress, I am afraid the only thing they can do is to join these families with ancient wizard heritage and then obtain this part of the missing knowledge from them. Otherwise, they can only waste year after year and slowly find a feasible path from the endless darkness.
Although wizards have a long life compared to mortals, for the endless exploration of witchcraft knowledge, the life of wizards is still limited!
Logically speaking, Grimm has just been promoted to an elemental wizard, and the first hundred years are probably spent on consolidating the elementalization of the body, and the matter of spiritual elementalization may not be involved until a hundred years later. But he had already completed the body of fire, and now he began to worry about the elementalization of his spirit a hundred years in advance!
Therefore, since it is a rare opportunity to touch the spiritual elements, Grimm will definitely explore it with all his strength.
Grimm's affinity elemental talent is the fire elemental particles, while the affinity of the 2nd-level Fugen is obviously the mutated ice element. The huge difference in the attributes of the two sides made Grimm feel the backlash of the plane's ice law when he extended his mental power to the spiritual elements released after the ice column melted.
When he held the ice column in both hands and slowly burned it with the elemental fire, through the bridge of mental power, a bone-chilling ice power began to emerge in his body. When he released his hands and ended today's daily exploration, Grimm's legs had been frozen in place. Even if he moved a little, ice crystals would fall from his body.
In addition to these external injuries, even his mental power became sluggish and sluggish, and it was obvious that his fire talent was suppressed by the ice power.
This is just the residual power of the magic cast by the 2nd level ice wizard, which can obviously suppress his fire talent. If the enemy in front of Lord Fugen is not a 2nd level knight, but him, I am afraid that Grimm will not be able to complete a complete magic and will be frozen into an ice man!
The 1st level elemental wizard is only used to adapt to the elemental particles and guide them with mental power. So what about the 2nd level elemental wizard? What is the form of their magic?
These questions are difficult to solve!
Grimm couldn't help but sighed to the sky: "It seems like I am dissecting a 2nd level wizard now!"
Immediately, he was alert and kept silent, looking around. When he found himself in the underground maze he dug, Grimm breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly warned himself that in this magical world, being cautious in words and deeds is the way for the weak to protect themselves!
Coming out of the first stone chamber, Grimm quickly got into the second stone chamber.
On the stone platform here, a tall human figure with his chest opened was lying on his back, and every hidden part of his body was clearly visible. The stone platform itself had been transformed by Grimm into a special magic array, which was slowly transferring various elemental energies into different internal organs in the human body.
What Grimm needs to do every day now is to constantly observe and record what kind of alienation phenomena different elemental energies will cause to body organs.
You know, the one lying on the stone bed being dissected is a law-breaking knight, who can be regarded as a wizard-level existence if thrown into the wizard world.
In the wizard world, if Grimm dared to dissect and study a wizard so openly, then what awaits him must be the pursuit of the entire wizard group! Only in this alien world can he have the opportunity to capture a wizard-level existence of the same level as himself, and cut him into pieces like a little white mouse without worrying about any sequelae.
Even some more hidden taboo research is allowed.
This may be the most attractive part of the plane war for wizards!
The stone platform in the third secret room was filled with fragmented armor pieces and some difficult-to-identify things. In the middle of the stone platform, a knight's armor had been pieced together to form a rough outline, and the rune array inside was about to be revealed.
After so many bloody battles in the jungle, the wizards had killed a certain number of captured demon hunters and lawbreakers, so they had a preliminary understanding of the rune knowledge unique to this plane.
Overall, the level of rune knowledge in the knight plane is far inferior to that in the wizard world, but only in the combination of rune energy and the human body, there are unique insights and progress.
If this knowledge is snatched and slightly modified, it will undoubtedly allow wizards who control powerful elemental forces to have the same powerful power as knights. This can also enhance the wizard's own combat ability from the side, so it is also a coveted new knowledge!
However, the rune fragments collected by Grimm are only at the level of the lawbreaker knight, and there is not much content for analysis and reference. Therefore, Grimm could only use quantity instead of quality, collecting a wide range of rune arrays, trying to rely on the powerful data analysis and deduction capabilities of the chip to allow him to peek into the higher-level rune mysteries.
Of course, these are just scraps. If he wants to fully understand the knowledge of rune energy fusion, he needs to go to the legendary Knight Kingdom to collect it himself. chapter;
