……

Constructs are mostly animated and unnatural objects created by wizards. The puppet creatures are one of the most powerful of them. The biggest trait of golem creatures is that they are resistant to the elements. In other words, the ability to reduce elemental damage can be called a golem creature. It is precisely because of the strength of the wizard that the elemental damage reduction trait is so powerful.

However, elemental damage reduction does not mean that golem creatures can become mage killers, and elemental damage reduction is only immune to sorcery against the golem creatures themselves, such as smashing the ceiling with a blazing fireball or trapping a golem creature in an acid swamp with acid bogs. What's more, the puppet creatures have low mental power and will only obey simple orders, which is a weakness to fight against intelligent life.

Another point is that puppet creatures are not completely elemental immunity, and certain elemental sorcery will have a specific effect on specific puppet creatures, and it is easier to fight puppet creatures by making good use of weaknesses.

……

Golem creatures are mechanically activated creatures created by sorcery with great power. They differ greatly from other constructs in that they have the power of life - golem creatures gain magical life from elemental souls, usually an earth elemental. The process of creating the puppet creature binds the soul to the artificial body, which merges with this specially prepared vessel and is subject to the will of the creator.

……

Golem creatures have no mind, and they won't do anything else unless ordered to do so by their creator. They follow simple and clear instructions and are not receptive to complex strategies or tactics. The creator of a golem can command a golem within 60 feet of it and the golem can see and hear. If not ordered, golem creatures will usually do their best to carry out their final orders, and will return fire if attacked.

When the creator leaves, he can give the golem a simple command to govern its actions, or he can have the golem follow another person's orders, but the puppet creature's maker can always order the golem creature's obedience only to himself, thus reclaiming control.

……

Somehow, as soon as he got the book, Grim seemed to suddenly become addicted to it, and he couldn't put it down and read it in one go.

Golem creatures are a good thing!

Not to mention those high-level steel golems, even the lowest-level clay golems have a basic challenge level of high-level apprentice level. In other words, a squad with a reasonable class mix and a purely high-level fighter is likely to defeat the clay golem.

As close quarters for wizards, golems and constructs are far more reliable and loyal than paid guards. But in line with it, it is the staggering price of puppets and constructs.

For example, the lowest-tier clay golem weighs 600 pounds (about 600 pounds) without any sorcery equipment, stands up to 8 feet (about 2.4 meters), and is carved out of soft clay. This clay golem is not afraid of sharp damage, and only certain heavy weapons can give it enough physical damage.

And the base price of such a clay golem is 21,000 gold. As for stone golems that are slightly higher than the clay golems, the base price is 55,000 gold. For a higher iron golem, the base price has reached 80,000 gold.

This is still a cost price that does not take into account the supply and demand factors of the market, and once it is a war year, the price of these puppet creatures that are extremely suitable for killing battlefields will be doubled, and there will be no shortage of buyers. As long as a minor lord can acquire 3-5 clay golems and have them join his army, he will have a great advantage in fighting with other lords in the surrounding area.

So, if you can successfully become a puppeteer, then money will no longer be a factor that bothers Grim!

Unfortunately, crafting a puppet requires not only a lot of special materials, but also extremely high skill in crafting strange objects, as well as the ability to craft Horcruxes. If Grim's talent elemental affinity is a dark elemental system, perhaps by extracting the souls of some humanoids, it is easy to make a Horcrux that can give the puppet primary intelligence. But he is affinity with the fire element, so he eliminates the possibility of taking shortcuts.

Grim could only ask the chip to temporarily collect all the contents of this "Puppet Creature Making Manual" and keep it for later research slowly. And he himself began to study the new functions of the chip.

As the slow but magical mantra sounded, Grim's outstretched right hand ignited into a fiery magical flame, enveloping his palm and part of his wrist.

Watching the flames burn calmly in his hands, the mechanical sound of the chip also sounded synchronously in his mind.

"Nourish...... A complete psychic model has been detected, please confirm whether it is solidified, note that this solidification will cost 2 psychic power and 50 career experience!"

The same hint appeared once during the last tour of the tower. However, at that time, he was in a dangerous situation, and Grim did not dare to experiment indiscriminately, so he chose to ignore it. But today, he wanted to try what this so-called curing was all about!

"Sure!" said Grim.

"Drop, the curing task starts now...... Estimated completion time: 12 hours, 27 minutes, 13 seconds......"

With the sound of the chip, Grim's heart trembled, and he obviously felt that part of his mental power had disappeared for no reason. After self-checking again, I also found that the professional experience column on the personal data report had dropped from 614/1000 to 564/1000.

Belch...... These 614 points of professional experience are all that Grim has gained in the past six years, including years of painstaking meditation, countless failed spell casting practices, countless attempts to dissect and copy obscure witchcraft books in the dim light of candles, and terrible witchcraft experiments that are dangerous and necessary......

I have to say that the past Grim is indeed a bit of a waste of wood. It's been 6 years since I became a wizard apprentice, and I have only accumulated more than half of the professional experience necessary to become an intermediate apprentice, and the witchcraft that saves my life has only mastered a burning hand. As for the second sorcery "Flame Arrow" that is being studied, it has only just collected its pre-knowledge, and it is still a long way from successfully casting spells.

From the analysis of these data, the talent attribute of his body is also inferior among the tower apprentices, no wonder he has not become an intermediate apprentice after 6 years.

But this is the Grim of the past!

Now with the assistance of the chip, I am equivalent to a new life, and all the difficulties in front of me can be solved and overcome.

The task of solidifying the Burning Hand mental power model took up almost half of Grim's mind, which made him seem a little mentally troubled. In this case, it was undoubtedly not suitable to practice or read any witchcraft related to the depletion of spirits, so Grim simply lay down on the bed and began to meditate deeply.

As the meditation progressed, Grim slowly calmed down, his breathing gradually smoothed and long, and his entire spiritual consciousness was completely immersed in a strange and strange world.

The room, which was already silent, became more and more empty and silent, and everything around him seemed to suddenly be quiet. The sensations of the flesh became more and more blurred, he was like falling into a giant marshmallow, and everything that his body could perceive was getting farther and farther away from him.

Finally, the spiritual consciousness that is not bound by the physical body suddenly breaks into a strange alternative world.

It's a world of light.

All kinds of colorful and strange points of light flew in the sky, filling every inch of space he could perceive.

It was the intrusion of his spiritual consciousness that alarmed these irregular and unconscious floating points of light, and the whole strange world suddenly became a little different from before.

The soul body that carried Grim's spiritual consciousness also began to wander aimlessly in this world of light points. And everywhere he goes, different points of light seem to have autonomous consciousness, showing completely different behaviors.

Some of the reddish dots of light were clearly welcoming Grim's arrival, and all the red dots of light that were close to his spiritual consciousness poured into his soul like a finch returning to its nest, bringing him a wisp of warmth. And some cool color spots, such as blue, gray, black, white...... But they were obviously far away from him.

As for some of the neutral purple, green, earthy yellow and other points of light, they are neither repulsive nor enthusiastic, and it is only when Grim's spiritual consciousness touches them that they slowly merge into them. The whole process seems calm and peaceful, and there is nothing unnatural about it.

In this way, the light cluster of Grim's spiritual consciousness incarnation slowly wandered in the endless sea of light, passively accepting the integration of light points. Out of curiosity, Grim couldn't help but direct the light cluster to get closer to some white points of light. His arrival undoubtedly triggered a riot of white points of light, and the white points of light that had been wandering meaninglessly just now scrambled to flee the area.

Grim finally couldn't bear it anymore, and under the guidance of his strong consciousness, the colorless and transparent soul light suddenly stretched out an octopus-like spiritual power tentacle, and pierced into a slightly larger white point of light.

The white light exploded, and then turned into a spiritual torrent and poured into Grim's soul. Different from the warmth of the red point of light when it merges, the biggest feeling that this slightly white point of light brings to Grim is cold and dead silence.

That feeling is like suddenly drinking a glass of cold water in a late night dream, and the whole body can't help but shiver. In addition to the cold sensation, Grim's mental consciousness felt the pain of slight paralysis and corrosion. It seems that the integration of that white point of light, in addition to bringing him some spiritual benefits, also brings some harm.
