All the way.

The semi-open carriages allow them to have an unobstructed view of the scene outside.

Low, damp gloomy caverns, crooked and twisted wooden huts, tall and sturdy stone fortresses, and bizarre and psychedelic alchemy castles...... Along the way, everyone felt like stepping into a fantasy city, and everywhere you could see strange buildings full of mystery.

Some of the buildings are bustling with people outside. Some buildings are too eerie and have few customers. Some buildings are simply inexplicable, and it is difficult to tell from the appearance that they are used for it......

It can be seen that the Silver Alliance will not restrict or interfere with its business content after selling these territories. Once you get the land, turn it into a shop, whatever you want! Make it a warehouse, whatever you want! Or even turn it into a haunted house, it's up to you!

As long as you pay the rental fee on time and your operation does not harm the interests of Sky City, then no one will interfere with what you do in your area.

This is probably the main reason why the whole outer ring building is so weird!

The castle in the sky is divided into three parts: the inner ring, the middle ring, and the outer ring, and they occupy an area of about 1:3:6. Therefore, among the three ring roads, the outer ring is the largest, and the number of shops sold to non-members of the Silver Alliance is 348.

This number sounds like a lot, but when it is evenly distributed to the entire wizarding continent, it seems to be a drop in the bucket.

Especially among them, there are many scary people who do not belong to any wizarding family, but are purely individuals looking for a place to settle here. Most of these guys are powerful wizards of the 2nd order who are unwilling to be constrained by the power of the family and organization, and there are also many strong wizards of the 3rd order.

So in this outer ring area, if you don't know the roots, any inconspicuous little people and small shops are not something you can provoke casually. Once you look away and provoke those low-key bigwigs, they have too many ways to avoid the unknown death of the silver-robed wizard.

The alchemy carriage slowly stopped in front of the Byron family's shop.

"2 magic crystals!" the alchemy horse turned around and spat out human words from the metal horse's mouth.

Grim exclaimed, threw out two magic crystals, and they swallowed them in one gulp, before Shi Shiran left.

An apprentice with the Byron family crest on his chest was waiting here, leading the three Grims directly into the backyard. Most of the shops here are also built with stores in the front and residential buildings in the back.

Byron material line!

The name of the shop is concise, and it focuses on some of the rare resources found in the Dark Crypt, among which the ghost mushrooms and nighteye stones are the most valuable.

Waiting for Grim in the backyard was a middle-aged female wizard, who looked quite passable, and looked quite eye-catching in a weird red robe. But what is even more eye-catching is the strength she revealed!

When Grim saw her for the first time, his heart immediately felt a slight chill, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her with a wizarding salute.

As for Alice, who has always been afraid of heaven and earth, she also pulled Kirby to hide far away, not daring to listen to the conversation between the two wizards.

"You're the puppeteer Angus had hired, and you look young!" the red-robed witch asked coldly.

"I've seen Nanali-sama! I'm Grim, a wizard of the Sarupo family. ”

"You don't seem to be an arcane wizard!"

"Yes, my lord, I took the Elemental Wizard route, but I had some unique features in the production of elemental golems, so I was selected by the Angus Wizard during his apprenticeship to participate in this mystery competition. ”

"Elemental puppets, these guys are probably not as good as those elaborate metal puppets!Are you sure about this Upanishads competition?" Although the red-robed witch is a second-order wizard, she still seems hesitant when it comes to some professional issues.

"On the way here, the wizard of Angus once confided to me that something seems to have changed in the competition......"

"Nothing has changed!" replied categorically by the red-robed witch, "The conditions proposed by the other party are too harsh for us to accept! I'm just asking you now, do you have the confidence to defeat the puppet knights of the other family?"

"My lord, before answering this question, I hope to know the abilities and basic data of the other party's puppet!" Grim thought cautiously for a moment and did not answer directly.

"Here's for you!" The red-robed witch threw a photographic crystal into Grim's arms, and commanded stiffly, "You have a night to think, and you must give me an answer tomorrow morning." If you don't have the certainty of defeating the other party, our family will have to find a way to invite an Upanishad master over!"

The Upanishads are also professional wizards who have made the art of puppet construction their own work. Their individual combat power may be very poor, but the puppets they create are all powerful.

It is very difficult to hire an Upanishads master in the city in the sky, and the amount of human favor and resources required is unimaginable. If the Byron family is really forced to that point, even if they win the final victory, I am afraid that in the next ten years, most of the income of this store will be handed away.

But the importance of the shop to the Byron family is unparalleled.

In addition to selling the resources of the Nigon region to make huge profits, this shop is also a convenient channel for the Byron family to collect resources from the major regions of the wizarding continent. Once it is cut off, most of the wizard resources within the family will be immediately lost.

At that time, if the family wants to steadily cultivate wizards belonging to their own family, the difficulty will increase tenfold dramatically.

This is undoubtedly detrimental to the development and growth of a wizard family!

So at this moment, I can't help but let this second-order wizard of the Byron family not be nervous.

It's night.

Grim hid in the residence prepared for him by the Byron family, and carefully and meticulously browsed the contents of the photographic crystal thrown to him by the red-robed witch.

The photo crystal stores the image of the puppet knight of the other family fighting with other golems.

Although the process of the battle was very short, it was enough for the chip to parse a lot of useful information from it.

After watching all the details of the battle many times, the chip also successfully obtained the approximate data of the puppet knight.

Puppet Knight, combat system, active structure, 3 meters tall, shimmering with a dark and deep dull metallic luster. In appearance, it is made into the shape of a knight wearing heavy armor, holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and his melee combat ability far exceeds that of ordinary golems or puppets.

Combat Base Stats: Strength>14 Dexterity>9 Constitution>12 Spirit>7 ......

This is a battle puppet that has undergone many enhancements, not only has an indestructible demonic iron alloy body, but also has a staggering majestic power. But what gave Grim the most headache was his super high fighting instinct and intelligence!

Yes, it's surprising that a cold, purely magical iron alloy metal puppet has no low level of rudimentary intelligence. It would be too contemptuous to call such a creature a puppet, and the most appropriate name would be a constructing creature.

A constructed creature that has undergone constructing activation and has initially possessed humanoid intelligence. Of course, if its intelligence can be increased a little more, and its mental power can be increased from 7 to 11, then it will be able to leap from a constructed creature to a metal life in no time.

A special life form that uses metal as its torso and elemental energy as its blood - metal life!

Constructed creatures are still among the minions of wizards, and metal lifeforms are already on par with wizards.

It is impossible for an ordinary puppet to have wisdom at all, unless the wizard who made it mixes in some kind of powerful spiritual consciousness when performing the Construct Activation Technique, which has a certain chance of awakening its primary wisdom. The more advanced intermediate wisdom cannot be achieved by witchcraft, and can only be slowly evolved by individuals with primary intelligence.

In the photo crystal, the puppet knight not only has primary wisdom, but also seems to have retained some knightly skills. This fully shows that the other party's mystical wizard who has been activated on the body of the puppet knight must be the soul of a high-ranking knight.

Must be at least a Tier 2 Knight!

And such a powerful knight is difficult to find in the wizarding continent, and the only source of soul can only be a certain secondary plane.

Moreover, the other party family has spared no expense in building this puppet knight, and even the shield sword it holds is not an ordinary product.

The heavy tower shield is mainly based on the well-known Mansoda alloy, which is doped with star iron with anti-magic effect, so it has a terrifying defensive effect on both the defense of things and demons.

The knight's greatsword is purely made of Hengjin, although the hardness is slightly worse than that of Mansoda alloy, but it has good magic conduction, which is convenient for knights to use their combat skills. What's more, the edge of the knight's greatsword is also gilded with pure gold, which also gives it the primary "annihilation" and "sharp" effects.

Not to mention anything else, this sword and shield has reached the level of a primary witchcraft, and it is not known how many times more powerful than ordinary demonized items!

To be honest, seeing the terrifying combat power shown by the puppet knight in the video, even Grim didn't have the full confidence he had before.

If you peel off the skin and bones of the other party's puppet knight, all the precious and rare magic gold on the whole body will be refined, and the basic value will be more than 70,000 magic crystals. If you add in the effort it took to build it and the soul of that second-order knight, it would never be worth less than 120,000 magic crystals.

And the second-order molten core giant heart core that Grim consumed to create the Flame Tyrant was worth only 50,000 magic crystals at the top of the sky.

Although Grim didn't want to admit it, from all sides and all angles, his Flame Tyrant seemed to be invincible against that puppet knight.

The two don't need to fight, and the difference in their basic combat power can be estimated just from the resources that created them!
