Free Chapter 0316 Alice's Choice
Alice stretched out her hand tremblingly. Tianlai Novelww
There seemed to be a strange light source in her belly, which was constantly emitting strange silver energy. And it was this silver energy that penetrated into her skin, flesh, bones, and tendons, dyeing everything silver-white.
Through the translucent belly, Alice could clearly see her intestines and stomach sacs slowly moving, and could also see the strange-shaped liver, gallbladder, and other strange organs that could not be named. Under the infection of the mysterious energy, these internal organs were also becoming somewhat transparent, and even the blood vessels wrapped around them and the blood flowing in the diaphragm could be seen clearly.
Alice's hand fell gently on her belly, but trembled violently.
As if there was nothing, her right hand actually reached directly into the abdominal cavity, but did not touch anything real.
Her belly, her internal organs, her flesh... everything could be seen, but could not be touched. As if... as if they and this body were in two different spaces.
"I...what's wrong with me?" Alice's face turned pale, and she looked up and asked Grimm stutteringly.
"I think I should ask you this question?" Grimm also frowned: "After all, spatial power is what you are best at..."
It must be said that there is too little knowledge to learn from the two major systems of time and space.
So Grimm could only judge that Alice was suffering from the backlash of the spatial power in the void stone, but the deep mechanism was difficult to describe and explain in words.
"What would happen if I was completely infected by this spatial power?" Alice quickly calmed down and asked the most critical question.
"According to my judgment, you are likely to be contaminated into some kind of void creature!"
"Then we must interrupt this fusion process. I will cast a spell to remove the void stone!"
"Alice, don't worry. I have carefully checked you just now, and your fusion with the void stone is not necessarily a bad thing. With your accumulated strength, it will take about 3-5 years to advance to the rank of wizard under normal circumstances. But if you make good use of this fusion, you may not need to wait at all, and you can consider advancing in the near future!"
"Really?"
After listening to Grimm's words, Alice's depressed and timid mood suddenly rose again.
After what she had experienced during this period, Alice could no longer tolerate the weakness of her apprenticeship!
This is a world where wizards are respected. The only way to gain basic respect and to protect their own interests is to become a wizard.
Although Alice is a top figure among wizard apprentices, she will be greeted with envious eyes wherever she goes. But as long as she does not become a wizard, she will still not be able to enjoy true freedom and indulgence.
Especially when she faces a wizard, the huge gap in status will oppress her and make her unable to breathe, let alone retain her dignity.
So she also has an extremely strong desire to become a wizard!
"What do I need to do?" Alice's face was tense, and her eyes were shining with a hot light.
"Adjust your state." Grimm thought for a while: "Don't interrupt the fusion with the void stone first, and try your best to control this power in your hands. I will find a way to arrange your promotion ceremony in the near future, and then you will use this space power to complete the promotion."
"What about the sequelae caused by the fusion with the void stone?"
"These are all minor problems. As long as you can successfully become a wizard, these can be made up afterwards!"
Alice thought about it again and again, and finally nodded in agreement.
After leaving the bedroom to Alice, Grimm turned and came to a small laboratory he opened.
Here, the center of the hall was filled with long tables and wooden boxes, as well as several stone tables for experiments and a small alchemy table.
Now Grimm no longer needs to go to the alchemy laboratory to make low-level magic puppets, but can easily do it here. This also avoids the spying of his magic puppet making by those who are interested!
He came to the front of the first stone platform and lifted the black cloth covering it. A glass container more than half a meter high was filled with a mysterious blue solution. And floating in the solution was a pair of strange magic gems.
This is a pair of egg-sized amber magic gems. There are cloud-like earth-yellow gas masses swirling in the center of the gems, like the eyes of peerless beasts that suddenly opened.
Even if you just look at it through a transparent container, you will feel that your body is paralyzed.
A surging and heavy earth source power rushed towards you.
Petrified Eyes!
This is the biggest trophy Grimm got after killing the Sack blood wizard.
Of course, in the remaining storage ring of the other party, Grimm also found some books and notes related to blood evolution. However, in the absence of the giant snake blood sample, even if he coveted the powerful power of blood witchcraft, he would be helpless without rice, and he had no idea where to start.
Those blood families attach great importance to their own blood. Once any individual with blood power is found, it will be recorded in the family archives. For such individuals, whether they died normally or died accidentally, the family will send people to conduct a detailed investigation to prevent the family blood from being lost to outsiders.
So Grimm was right to grind Sack's bones and scatter his ashes last time.
If he really left behind Thacker's skeleton, I'm afraid that the Ximan family would take it back even at the risk of starting a war.
This pair of petrifying eyes is also the most precious part of Thacker wizard. And Grimm is currently studying golem puppets, and he is in need of this kind of magic gem with strange abilities, so he uses biological active protective fluid to maintain the basic activity of the petrifying eyes.
A layer of red light covered Grimm's pupils, isolating the petrifying power projected by the petrifying eyes.
To be honest, this petrifying power made him suffer enough in the last war. If it weren't for the elementalized body of the fire demon having excellent resistance to basic elements, I'm afraid even he would find it difficult to escape the fate of being petrified.
Although he won that battle, and Thacker was crushed into a meat paste by him, and then burned into ashes, it took him a lot of effort to remove the petrifying power in his body afterwards. At one point, the petrifying power and the breath of the abyss were mixed together, giving him a headache.
Therefore, Grimm also attaches great importance to how to use this pair of petrified eyes!
He covered the container with black cloth again, and the slight numbness in his body disappeared. Although this piece of black cloth is inconspicuous, it is also a magic item that can cover all the witchcraft inside.
He walked to the second stone platform, on which there were all kinds of metal parts and mechanical components. However, everything is just a semi-finished product. Even if they are all put together, they are just enough to make a metal arm of a golem.
These are Grimm's practice works and his preparations for the later magic battle puppets.
After this period of exploration and research, Grimm has learned all the knowledge about puppet manufacturing that he brought back from the Silver Alliance, so he also found some abnormalities.
It can be said that when the ancient wizards first studied the puppets, they defined them as metal puppets that can help wizards fight. So the initial motivation for creating them is to fight!
Under the influence of this idea, all overly delicate and exquisite designs will become out of date, so it is rare to see puppets with body components as precise as human bodies. In order to become a qualified meat shield and charge, wizards will try to make them simple and practical when making puppets.
The so-called legs of ordinary metal puppets are actually two thick and heavy metal pillars, which are not divided into complex parts such as thighs, calves, ankles and toes like humans. The more exquisite and delicate the design of the metal puppet is, the weaker its ability to resist blows. On the contrary, it is not as tough as using the highest hardness magic iron alloy to cast it into one.
Therefore, most of the metal war puppets that Grimm has seen cannot complete more complex knight combat skills, but rely on their indestructible bodies and terrifying weight to crush and attack the enemy.
Such ideas cannot be said to be wrong by wizards!
After all, wizards believe more in their own abilities, and making puppets is just to protect themselves so that they can cast spells smoothly, so wizards make puppets more according to their own needs, rather than really treating puppets as a kind of wizard assistant to carefully study and figure them out.
Grimm reached out and took a wooden box from the corner of the stone platform. He opened it and found five wooden puppets of extremely crude craftsmanship placed side by side.
He picked one up and examined it.
The wooden puppet was a crude human figure carved from ironwood, consisting of six parts: head, torso and limbs. The torso components were fixed together with iron nails, and the delicate parts such as hands and feet were made of thin iron wire.
Behind the wooden puppet, Grimm also made a pair of wings with thin wood slices and snow rabbit skin, and simply fixed them there.
Seriously speaking, Grimm's woodworking skills are really poor.
According to the instructions in the puppet making manual, a normal wooden puppet must find a professional craftsman, use special wood, and then be carefully carved to be considered a qualified work. However, the wooden puppet in front of him obviously had not been carved at all. Not only was there wood thorns on the surface, but the lower end of its right leg was cracked. It was obviously a defective product at first glance.
Apparently, the maker of this wooden puppet used too much force when nailing the wire-woven feet, and the wooden legs were cracked.
Grimm could only shake his head and smile bitterly at his own craftsmanship.
But it was just for practice anyway, so it was okay if it was almost done! chapter;
