Chapter 0316: Alice's Choice
Alice held out her hand tremblingly.
There seemed to be a strange light source in her stomach, which was constantly spilling out a strange silver energy. And it was this silver energy that seeped into her skin, flesh, bones, and tendons, staining everything silvery white.
Through the translucent belly, Alice could clearly see her intestines and stomach pouch slowly wriggling, as well as the strangely shaped liver, gallbladder, and other strange organs that could not be named. Under the infection of mysterious energy, these internal organs are also becoming somewhat transparent, and even the blood flowing in the blood vessels and diaphragms that are wrapped around them can be seen clearly.
Alice's hand landed lightly on her belly, but it trembled violently.
As if there was nothing, her right hand went directly into the abdominal cavity, but she didn't touch anything.
Her belly, her guts, her flesh...... Everything can be seen, but not touched. Seems...... It was as if they were in two different dimensions from the body.
"I ...... What's wrong with me?" Alice asked, looking up and stammering at Grim.
"I think I should ask you this question, right?" Grim also frowned: "After all, space power is what you are best at......"
I have to say that the knowledge that can be used for reference in the two systems of time and space is simply too little and too little.
Therefore, Grim could only judge that Alice had suffered the backlash of the spatial power in the Void Stone, but the deep mechanism was difficult to describe and explain in words.
"What if I'm completely infected by this spatial force?" Alice quickly calmed down and asked the most crucial question.
"In my judgment, you're likely to be contaminated into some kind of void creature!"
"Then the process of integration must be interrupted. I'll cast a spell to take out the Void Stone!"
"Alice, don't be in a hurry. I've carefully checked for you just now, and your fusion with the Void Stone isn't necessarily all bad. With the accumulation of your strength, it will take about 3-5 years to advance to the level of wizard under normal circumstances. But if this fusion is used well, maybe you don't need to wait any time, and you can consider advancing in the near future!"
"Really?"
After listening to Grim's words, Alice's mood that had just been low and cowering suddenly rose again.
The encounter during this period of time made Alice unable to bear the weakness of the apprenticeship!
It's a world where wizards are respected, and the only way to gain basic respect and protect your interests is to become a wizard.
Don't look at Alice, who is also second to none among the wizard apprentices, she will be greeted with the envy of others wherever she goes. But as long as she doesn't become a wizard for a day, she still won't be able to enjoy true freedom and indulgence.
Especially when she faced a wizard, she couldn't breathe because of the disparity in status between heaven and earth, let alone retain any dignity.
So for the promotion wizard, she also has an unusually strong desire!
"And what do I need to do?" Alice's little face tightened, and her eyes flashed with a scorching light.
"Adjust yourself. Grim pondered for a moment: "Don't interrupt the fusion with the Void Stone first, and try your best to control this power in your own hands." I will find a way to arrange your promotion ceremony in the near future, and when the time comes, you will use this spatial power to complete the promotion. ”
"And what about the after-effects caused by merging with the Void Stone?"
"These are minor issues. As long as you can successfully become a wizard, you can make up for it afterwards!"
Alice thought about it for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.
After leaving the bedroom to Alice, Grim turned and went to a small laboratory that he had set up.
Here, long tables and wooden boxes are lined up in the center of the hall, as well as several stone platforms for experiments, as well as a small alchemy table.
Now Grim doesn't need to go to the alchemy lab to make low-level golems, and it can be easily done here. In this way, it will avoid the prying eyes of those who have a heart for his magic puppet creation!
Coming to the front of the first stone platform, the black cloth that covered it was lifted, and a glass container more than half a meter high was filled with a mysterious blue solution. And floating in the solution is a pair of strange magic gems.
It was a pair of egg-sized amber magic gems, with a cloud-like earthy yellow air mass coiling around the center of the gems, like the eyes of peerless beasts that suddenly opened.
Even just looking at it through a transparent container will give people the feeling that the body is paralyzed.
A surging and heavy earth source force rushed towards him.
Petrified Pupils!
This is the biggest loot Grim gets after killing that Sark Bloodline wizard.
Of course, in the other party's remaining storage ring, Grim also found some books and notes related to bloodline evolution. However, in the absence of a sample of the giant snake's bloodline, even if he coveted the powerful power of bloodline witchcraft, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and there was nowhere to start.
Those bloodline families attach great importance to their own bloodline, and any individual with bloodline power will be recorded in the family file once it is checked. For such an individual, whether it is a normal death or an accidental fall, the family will send someone to conduct a detailed investigation to avoid the loss of the family bloodline into the hands of outsiders.
So Grim was right last time he crushed Sax and scattered the ashes.
If he did leave Tsarker's bones, I'm afraid that the He-Man family would have risked war and would have to retrieve it as well.
This pair of petrified pupils is also the most precious part of the Suck wizard. Grim has been researching the Golem Golem recently, and he is lacking this magic gem with strange abilities, so he uses the Bioactive Protective Solution to maintain the basic activity of the Petrified Pupil.
A layer of red light was cast over Grim's pupils, blocking out the petrified power projected by the Petrified Pupil.
Honestly, this petrification force had made him suffer enough in the last war. If it weren't for the elemental Flame Demon Body's superior resistance to basic elements, I'm afraid that even he would not be able to get rid of the end of being petrified.
Although he won the battle, and Thack was also crushed into meat sauce by him, and then incinerated to ashes, but afterwards, it took him a lot of effort just to remove the petrification power in his body. Even at one point, the power of petrification and the aura of the abyss were mixed together, giving him a headache.
So for how to use this pair of petrified pupils, Grim also attaches extra importance to it!
The container was covered with a black cloth again, and the slight paralyzing feeling in his body disappeared. Despite the fact that this black cloth is inconspicuous, it is also a demonic object, which can hide all the witchcraft inside.
Walk to the second stone platform, which is filled with all kinds of metal parts and mechanical components. But everything was only half-finished, and even if they were put together, they would only be enough to put together the metal arm of a golem.
These are all Grim's hands, and they are also his preparations for the later magic puppets.
After this period of exploration and exploration, Grim has learned all about the puppet manufacturing he brought back from the Silver Alliance, so he has also discovered some anomalies.
It can be said that when ancient wizards began to study puppets, they defined them as metal golems that could help wizards in battle. So the initial motivation for building them was to fight!
Under the influence of this line of thinking, any design that is too elaborate and delicate will become anachronistic, so it is rare to see a work in the puppet with intricate body components that resemble the human body. In order to become a good Meat Shield and Charger, wizards try to make their puppets as simple and practical as possible.
The so-called legs of ordinary metal puppets are actually two thick and bulky metal columns, which are not divided into complex parts such as thighs, calves, ankles, and toes like humans. The more delicate and delicate the design of the metal puppet, the weaker its ability to resist hits, but it is not as solid as the hardest magic iron alloy cast into one.
Therefore, most of the metal war puppets that Grim has seen are unable to complete more complex knight combat skills, and only rely on their indestructible bodies and terrifying self-weight to crush and strike enemies.
It doesn't mean that wizards are wrong!
After all, wizards believe more in their own abilities, and make puppets only to protect themselves from being able to 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.
Detective Grim took a wooden box from the corner of the stone platform and opened it, revealing five wooden golems of rudimentary production side by side.
I picked one up and examined it.
The Wooden Golem is a crude humanoid carved out of iron-shirted wood, consisting of six parts: head, torso, and limbs. The body members are held together with iron nails, and the more delicate parts such as hands and feet are wound with thin wires.
Behind the wooden puppet, Grim also made a pair of wings out of thin pieces of wood and snow rabbit skin, which were simply fixed there.
Seriously, Grim's carpentry skills are really terrible.
According to the instructions in the puppet making manual, a normal wooden puppet must find a professional craftsman, use special wood, and then carefully carve it to be considered a qualified work. The wooden puppet in front of him has obviously not undergone any carving, not only is the surface of the wooden thorns raw, but the lower end of its right leg has cracked, and it looks like a defective product.
Apparently, the maker of the wooden golem used too much force when he drove into the wire-woven soles of his feet, and the wooden legs were cracked.
For his own craftsmanship, Grim could only shake his head and smile bitterly after seeing it.
But anyway, it's all used to practice, so it's almost almost!
