Chapter 0210: Gathering
Although the Phantom looks like a bewitching beauty with a sexy and hot body, considering her good at illusion, Grim's brain automatically ignores her beauty when he looks at the female wizard.
The devil knows if there is a bloated and fat body hidden under her seemingly hot and sexy body!
Of course, Grim can also use the perspective ability unique to his elemental vision to see the real face of the other party. However, in the face of an opponent of the same rank as oneself, aggressive probing is undoubtedly an offense, and it is very likely to trigger a counterattack from the opponent.
Therefore, when other wizards appear around him, Grim will deliberately turn off those active detection abilities, and only allow the chip to do some passive auxiliary information collection work.
In addition, one of the main reasons why Grim defines her as a female wizard rather than a witch is that in the wizarding world, witch is a proper noun used to refer specifically to female wizards with an ancient heritage. So a witch must be a female wizard, but a female wizard is not necessarily a witch.
The phantom wizard in front of him is taking the orthodox elemental wizard route, and he has nothing to do with the group of witches in the north of the wizarding continent.
There are also a lot of wizards who are friendly with illusions, but most of them belong to the support type, and there are not many that can be suitable for the bloody battlefield. After all, no one on the wizard now has an illusion breaking wand, and the contemplation necklace is embarrassed to go out. Therefore, with the wide spread of these auxiliary props, the combat power of wizards who specialize in illusion will inevitably be greatly reduced!
But being able to invite this phantom wizard today fully shows that she has her own unique ability in the field of illusion, otherwise it will definitely be difficult to enter this team of combat wizards.
After a brief glance at the Phantom, Grim turned most of his attention to the Hyde boss.
Hyde obviously took the arcane wizard route, more than 2 meters tall, tall and burly, but there were extremely obvious traces of mechanical transformation on his body. The left forearm has been cut off at the elbow, replaced by a bronze mechanical arm, and the surface has not been skinned, and outsiders can even directly see the metal chains, gears, shafts, and many indescribable mechanical parts inside.
At a glance, the parts of this Hyde wizard that have been transformed are simply countless. Robotic arms, mechanical lower limbs, metal eyes, and many strange mechanical equipment attached to the surface of the body......
If Grim were to define it, the Hyde wizard was simply a fine machine, with some human flesh attached to the surface of the mechanical body...... Robot.
Grim was curious, if he opened the chest of this wizard of the sea, what he saw was hot flesh, or countless wildly turning gears and connecting rods?
For these creatures who have undergone brutal body modifications, their strength lies in their energy output and dazzling strange abilities that far surpass those of ordinary wizards.
You know, most wizards are still very fragile in their bodies. When they're not using witchcraft, they're a bunch of weak people who need to hold on to the wall to catch their breath even if they climb several floors. But once they have completed the blessing of witchcraft, they immediately transform into omnipotent, controlling the heavens and the earth.
Mechanical wizards, on the other hand, can replace their fragile body organs with demonic machines with magical powers through deep mechanical transformation. In this way, even without the use of witchcraft, their bodies can naturally have certain witchcraft effects, and they are eternal.
Therefore, the mechanical wizard pays for the appearance and pleasure of human beings, but in exchange, it is unusually powerful and weird!
According to legend, the Sky City on the west coast of the Wizarding Continent has gathered a large number of mystical wizards, especially mechanical wizards. And Sky City, a wizard city suspended at an altitude of 10,000 meters, represents the supreme achievement of the demonic machine.
Although Grim wanted to know more about the Hyde wizard, with a slight mechanical hum, some strange fluctuations appeared around the other party's body, blocking him from further prying eyes.
Grim smiled awkwardly, nodded slightly with Hyde and the puppet, and walked to the side to close his eyes and wait.
Didn't keep them waiting.
A moment later, thunder roared in the sky, lightning flashed, and the Thunderbird wizard rushed back. Behind him, followed by Bloody Mary and another strange wizard hidden in a black robe.
Seeing that all the people he had invited had arrived, the Hyde wizard cleared his throat and began to introduce in a strange metallic voice, "Everyone, I have gathered everyone here today for the sake of that hateful Radiant Knight. If we allow them to break out of the encirclement safely, then the many costs we have paid before will be in vain!"
For this cliché opening statement, all the wizards chose to remain silent.
While the disadvantage of the battle is likely to result in the failure of the clan to open up the plane, once everyone is expelled from the plane by the local natives, the resources and rewards promised by the clan will be lost. But if the wizards present are forced to the battlefield as cannon fodder, everyone will only work but not contribute, and give priority to saving their own lives.
So Wizard Hyde, who was familiar with the nature of wizards, immediately changed his words.
"I'm going to launch a sneak attack on that Radiant Knight. If all of you here are willing to participate, stay and continue the discussion. The only thing I can guarantee is that once the plan is successful, everyone will get their share of what they want most!"
The expressions on the faces of the wizards finally changed!
As wizards, they adhere to the principle of fair exchange of interests, and will instinctively choose to avoid matters that are not beneficial or too dangerous. Running to sneak up on a Tier 2 knight is definitely a dangerous mission beyond their capabilities!
But...... If you can get the resources and knowledge you want the most, it seems acceptable to take some risks.
Everyone's eyes flickered slightly, as if they were silently thinking about something.
Wizard Hyde's mechanical eyes looked around, waited for a moment, and saw that no one had left, and his heart was a little relaxed. Everyone present was a powerful wizard he had carefully selected, and each of them had strange sorcery abilities that were difficult for outsiders to match.
Therefore, the departure of any one person will have a greater or lesser impact on his plans. If necessary, he may have to lower the selection threshold and look for a replacement from the remaining wizards.
"Since no one is leaving, it means that everyone is willing to participate in this project. Okay, so let's talk about each other's requirements!"
No wizard wants to make this kind of intimate thing public, so what follows is a one-on-one one-on-one consultation between Wizard Hyde and each participant. Hyde's lips twitched, but he couldn't hear anything, apparently talking secretly to some wizard.
After waiting for about half an hour, Grim finally heard the hint of the chip in his head.
"A special psychic power channel has been detected, initiator: Wizard Hyde, please indicate whether to access it?"
"Access!"
In the next second, Wizard Hyde's peculiar metallic voice sounded in Grim's head.
"Hello, Wizard Grimm. Time is of the essence, and we have something to say, what do you want to gain if you are invited to participate in this dangerous hunt?"
"......" Grim hesitated for a moment, and slowly began, "I hope to obtain the part of knowledge that merges runic energy and life energy!"
"Uh...... This requirement is somewhat difficult!After all, the complete knowledge of energy fusion may only be in the possession of the vast forces behind them. Even if we kill and capture some fragmented rune knowledge, it will still be extremely difficult to deduce the subsequent energy fusion from this......"
"If I'm not mistaken, Master Vergen captured a Knight of Radiance alive last time, and I'm sure I'll be able to get a lot of their secret ...... out of his head."
Wizard Hyde in the distance squirmed in surprise, and his mechanical eyes glowing with scarlet stars took another serious look at Grim.
"I don't have the right to divulge information about the inside of the camp......"
"If I can't get the knowledge of energy fusion directly, I also want to know how to get them. In other words, I would like to know who else in the Knight Continent has complete knowledge of energy fusion, and of course, it is best that I can deal with it!"
"You are truly a visionary wizard, if my understanding is correct, the most valuable thing in this plane besides those rare resources is these rune knowledge. The energy fusion knowledge you are asking for, Master Sarupo has defined as a third-level strategic resource, and it will never be in your hands. As for the mortals who have mastered this part of the knowledge within the plane, although they are not included in the control object, they still need to be hunted and obtained by yourself. I can only provide a list of the corresponding members!"
"That's enough!" I accept the offer. ”
In the next second, a magical contract that mimicked spiritual power appeared in Grim's mind.
The chip dutifully scanned the contract in detail, eliminating traps such as language logic, magic patterns, and contract loopholes, before transmitting the detailed contract provisions to Grim. Grim glanced at it briefly, and it was the same as what he had just negotiated, and then he carefully left his own witchcraft mark on the contract.
It took another quarter of an hour for Wizard Hyde to sign a contract with the remaining wizards one by one. With the constraints of the contract, everyone's attitude has become friendly.
In order to facilitate the later cooperation, Wizard Hyde asked everyone to briefly introduce his witchcraft abilities. To encourage everyone to speak, Wizard Hyde is, of course, the first.
"Hyde, a mechanical wizard, is good at small-scale hand-to-hand combat, and his sorcery abilities probably include energy light knives and sharp cones to kill ......"
The second one to open is Razer.
"Thunderbird, an elemental wizard, specializes in lightning sorcery, and currently has the ...... of thundercloud storm, lightning bombardment, and lightning teleportation."
"Puppet, bloodline wizard, good at botanical transformation, mastered witchcraft such as puppet silk thread and wood stand-in......"
"Evil Worm, a bloodline wizard, is good at transforming insect bodies, and the sorcery he has mastered includes insect repellent, split attack, and damage sharing......"
"Phantom, an elemental wizard, is good at illusion, and the witchcraft he has mastered includes Dream Environment and Dream Separation ......"
"Fire Demon, an elemental wizard, is good at fire sorcery, and the sorcery he has mastered includes Fire Demon Transformation and Flame Enchantment......"
"Blood Maiden, a bloodline wizard, is good at bloodline witchcraft, and the witchcraft mastered includes batdemon transformation and bloodsucking attacks......"
"Shadow, an elemental wizard, good at curses......"
On such an occasion, of course, it is impossible for everyone to show their hole cards, so the situation introduced is ambiguous. But since Wizard Hyde had gathered everyone, he must have known more or less about everyone's situation.
So the rest of the crowd began to listen to Hyde's detailed description of his hunting plan!
