Chapter 0814 - Quid pro quo

"Chip, search for the conditions needed to advance to Tier 3!"

"Drop, command accepted, start retrieving the database......"

With a strange sizzling sound, the chip soon fed back the information content that Grim needed.

"Drop, according to the content of the database, combined with the subject's current body data, there are two conditions required for the subject to advance to the third level:"

"First, the mental power reaches 29 points...... This is a must to advance to Tier 3!"

"Second, acquire the knowledge and resources necessary to advance to Tier 3 ......"

"At present, the subject lacks the high-level application of spiritual power, the necessary knowledge of elemental transformation, the self-construction model of the energy system, and the high-level magical properties of the fire element...... In terms of resources, a detailed list is attached......"

As the chip was projected in the depths of his mind, a list of 63 advancement resources slowly unfolded.

As soon as Grim glanced at it, he found the names of a number of rare flame materials, many of which were similar to the Flame Spirit.

Resources are easy to say, with the wizarding world plundering the strength of thousands of secondary planes, no matter what kind of resources can be purchased, the difference is only in the amount of magic crystals spent.

Grim made a simple estimate that only about 1.4 million magic crystals would be needed to make up for the missing resources and materials.

What really gave him a headache was the lack of knowledge.

Almost all the major wizarding families and forces have strictly sealed and kept high-level knowledge as the most important asset of the family. Resources, they may exchange a thing or two, but for the knowledge in their hands, they are very secretive, and there is no possibility of contacting this knowledge without signing the necessary contract with them.

Grim has been slaughtering for years, grabbing a lot of resources, but he has never made progress in plundering knowledge. However, the necessary knowledge for advancement listed by the chip belongs to the category of high-level knowledge. Unless Grim was willing to abandon the Crimson family and join some large wizarding organization, he would have no access to this knowledge.

As soon as he encountered such a problem, Grim first thought of Alice in the far north.

Soon, with the help of remote contact between the two witch towers, Grim was able to contact Alice.

After listening to the list of knowledge listed by Grim, Alice couldn't help frowning.

"The high-level application of spiritual power and the high-level magical characteristics of the flame element are indeed found in the library of the Tower of Destiny of these two knowledges, but the other two are not impressive. After all, the Tower of Destiny has been silent for thousands of years, and its internal resources and knowledge reserves are very bad, if you want to obtain the remaining two knowledge, you may really need to deal with those witch leaders!"

After thinking for a while, Alice said again.

"I'll figure it out for you! I don't know what I might be able to gain from the Death Witch. You wait for my news!"

Immediately, the remote contact with Alice was directly cut off.

Although Grim's heart was hot, he also knew that this kind of thing was not in a hurry.

Moreover, his mental power is only 28 points now, and he is still a full 1 point away from the peak of 29 points for promotion. Don't underestimate this gap, with Grim's current rate of meditation and spiritual ascension, it would have been impossible to achieve without a few years of hard work.

Therefore, after entrusting Alice with the search for high-level knowledge, Grim focused more on refining and crafting the remaining three sets of the Flame Throne.

After looting the Tier 4 Dragon's Lair, most of the main materials to craft the Flame Throne Set were already available, and the remaining consumable materials were also collected through Goblin Kirby. Therefore, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Grim stayed in the Witch Tower and silently made various preparations for the third suit.

For this third piece, Grim gave preference to the core component of the Flame Throne set, the Burning Corona.

Moreover, the Flame Barrier that comes with this Burning Corona can also be fused with Grim's own Fire Barrier to increase the level of fire damage. This is extremely beneficial for Grim to control the battlefield situation on a large scale!

After so many times of demon golem refining, it is also of great help to Grim in refining witch weapons. Coupled with the assistance of chips, the probability of refining failure has been incredibly low!

It only took 37 days for Grim to create his third Fire Throne set.

In appearance, the crown resembles a slow-flowing still flame.

Its entire body is cast into the form of a crown from fire-disgusting iron, and then it is wound by strange metal wires to form dense flame runes. The pireny diamond set on the front of the crown is not only crystal beautiful and dreamlike, but also has the magical effect of amplifying the power of fire and sorcery.

When Grim put this burning corona on his head in a stirring mood, the three-piece suit on his body immediately resonated with his soul, and a faint red halo lingered on his body.

This layer of flame halo can not only increase Grim's flame resistance on the surface of the body, but also pop out of the body like a flame enchantment, forming a huge film of light with a diameter of 100 meters. Any life or substance wrapped in the film of light must be scorched by the magic flame at all times.

Grim closed his eyes and estimated that when the flame barrier of the burning corona and the flame barrier he cast, it could increase the damage of magic flames to 115 points per second. And this level of damage, Grim also reached it at the 1st intermediate level.

However, a Tier 1 intermediate wizard needs 3-5 seconds of spell casting if he wants to activate a magic spell with 115 damage. However, Grim's Flame Enchantment is a full-coverage passive damage, and he himself can also cast another spell while the Flame Enchantment burns the enemy.

This means that any enemy who walks into the Grim Flame Barrier will be subject to constant attacks from a Tier 1 Intermediate Wizard. If the opponent's sorcery protection can't withstand an attack of this intensity, and doesn't even require Grim to take the initiative, the enemy will be burned into a pile of charcoal by the magic flames.

Later, when besieged by a large group of Tier 1 wizards, Grim only needs to rush into the crowd with a flame jump, and then open the flame barrier. In less than 5 seconds, the whole world will be clear!

With the activation of the Flame Throne's third set, Grim also gained a new set ability.

Mental power consumed by fire sorcery is halved!

It's also a very useful combat ability that doubles Grim's firepower on the battlefield, and it also applies to elemental golems.

This also means that in one battle, Grim's current spiritual power can support two Tier 2 golems at the same time. If he added himself, it was equivalent to three Tier 2 top-level fire creatures appearing on the battlefield at the same time.

Who among the second-order wizards of the same level can withstand the bombardment of 3 terrifying fire demons at the same time?

The thought of the tragic scene of fireballs flying and lava bursting made Grim excited and couldn't help himself.

The Fire Witch will always be the most eye-catching focus on the battlefield!

Only on the battlefield can they exert their earth-destroying power!

Perhaps it was the butterfly effect caused by thought, and while Grim was imagining his majestic posture across the battlefield, Alice personally brought two books to the Flame Throne Witch Tower, which also brought him shocking news.

In view of the good cooperation before, Ksuna, the leader of the Death Witches, agreed to Alice's request and lent Grim the two advanced knowledge that he desperately needed. However, in return, Alice must participate in the war declaration issued by the Death Witch line.

War declared?

Seeing that Grim was confused, Alice had to patiently explain.

Not long ago, a secondary plane occupied by the Death Witch faction was attacked by the Beast God faction of the World of Gods. The entire plane was shattered, and even the third-order witch stationed inside failed to escape in time and died at the hands of the invading beast god powerhouse.

Such an act is undoubtedly a war for the Witches of Death.

As a result, Ksuna, the leader of the Death Witches, issued a declaration of war at the Witches' Council, threatening to take bloody revenge on the Beast God faction and calling on other witch factions to send troops to fight side by side.

It was in this context that Ksuna agreed to Alice's request. However, she also demanded that Alice respond positively to her declaration of war.

This means that Alice must organize an expeditionary force strong enough to fight for the glory and dignity of the Northland Witches with the Death Witches as they fight into some otherworld!

The Witches of Destiny under Alice's leadership have just experienced a brutal bloody battle on the plane of Faun, and the number of official witches has plummeted to four. Without decades of recuperation, it may be difficult to return to the original level of quantity.

With such a number of witches, it is difficult for many witchcraft activities to be carried out smoothly, let alone kill to the other world. Therefore, if Grim wants to obtain the remaining two advanced knowledge, he can only build a powerful combat force and participate in the otherworldly crusade of the Death Witch under the banner of the Witch of Fate.

Grim was silent.

After thinking about it for three days, weighing the pros and cons of all aspects of information and intelligence, Grim made up his mind to participate in this Northland witches' otherworldly conquest. And in the selection of the participants this time, Grim also took great pains.

Now the Crimson family has risen in full swing, spreading out the situation covering the scattered Tallinn and the Northland, and high-level wizards are needed everywhere. It was no longer possible for Grim to drain all the powerful wizards of the family in one fell swoop as he had done before.

If this is done, the two family estates of the Flame Throne and the White Tower will most likely face an invasion by unknown enemies during the Crimson Family's power window.

After thinking about it, Grim could only keep Billis, the Worm Witch, on the Flame Throne, and pair him with two Blood Knights and Blood Elves to continue to maintain the attack posture against the Kamala family. As for the White Tower, the dragon man Zacha was left behind, plus the Jade Dragon Girl and the Green Dragon Group stationed near the White Tower, there was almost nothing to worry about in terms of safety.
