Chapter 0093: Hard Preparation
Grim, who had successfully returned from the underground, was busy again. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, unlike his previous daily life, he is now more purposeful and targeted when he is busy.
The first thing he did after his return was that Grim went to visit the Lothar Chamber of Commerce again, and when he left, there were 5 more high-grade wind crystal nuclei in his waist bag. However, such a large purchase also brought a lot of magic crystals to Grim.
Most of the more than 3,000 magic crystals brought by the last gambling battle were spent in a blink of an eye, and now Grim's magic crystal reserves have fallen below 800. Considering that he and Mary are now big eaters, and the daily magic energy package is never interrupted, these magic crystals must stay to support their daily consumption, so it is urgent to obtain a large amount of magic crystal income in the short term.
After returning from the underground, the trio who had temporarily formed the Raiders of the Lost Ark alliance got together for a meeting. When Grim recounts what he saw at the ruins of the Wizard's Tower, both Mary and Kirby are in a state of inexplicable horror.
Wizard-level monsters!
This...... Is this something that their little group can handle?
Although Mary thinks very highly of herself, she is only a high-level vampire after all, and if she really wants to confront that terrifying flower spirit, I am afraid that she will be killed by him in a few minutes. And Grim is still a mid-level apprentice so far, although his mental power is growing rapidly every day thanks to the double supplement of the magic energy package and the condensing potion. But an intermediate level is an intermediate level, and if he really encounters a wizard-level monster, not only will he not be able to help, but even the aftermath of the battle may cause fatal damage to him!
As for the great goblin merchant Kirby, his ingenious stealth ability is a bit of an eye-catcher, but it has nothing to do with combat. So it can't really help anything other than the memories of the past in your mind.
Seeing the frightened look on the faces of the two "people", Grim smiled understandingly, and began to calmly analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the two of them. With his step-by-step guidance, the two "people" gradually overcame their fear of wizard-level monsters and began to seriously and meticulously plan to overthrow the terrifying flower spirit.
First of all, the three of them were sure that if that flower spirit was allowed to maintain its wizard-level strength, planning this treasure hunt would be a death attempt. Therefore, we must find ways to reduce the strength of that terrifying flower spirit.
And there are two ways to achieve this, one is the witchcraft curse, and the other is the flower spirit itself.
In the case of witchcraft curses, Grim can find a way to acquire some cursed wands or disposable witchcraft scrolls. However, it is still unknown whether these inferior goods from the hands of wizard apprentices will be able to penetrate the magic resistance of the flower spirit, so we can't get too much hope on it.
Speaking of this issue, Grim secretly said that he was able to contact the Angus wizard, and maybe he could get some wizard-level witchcraft scrolls from the other party. However, in order to fight the idea of a full-fledged wizard, Grim must also come up with a trade that will make the other party happy.
So this problem still needs to be solved by Grim himself!
And the body of the flower spirit, according to Grim's speculation (actually a chip), is most likely hidden near the broken elemental pool. So at this time, Kirby's role was highlighted. Relying on its familiarity with the Wizard's Tower, it quickly drew a diagram of the internal structure and clearly indicated the location of the elemental pool.
According to its description, the elemental pool is located on the second basement level of the Wizard's Tower Ruins, and needs to pass through numerous witchcraft secret doors and witchcraft circles along the way. While most of these things may have lost their effectiveness, if one or two did not fail, it could cause incalculable damage to Mary's infiltration. So Grim demanded that Kirby must follow Mary into the ruins of the Wizard's Tower.
Grim was extremely determined on this point, so Kirby could only tremble and agree.
In order to achieve the above two points, the first premise is that Grim must have the strength to fight or maneuver with the terrifying flower spirit. But these are extremely dependent on the lightning giant that is about to take shape. Perhaps only when the lightning giant reaches the expected heights will Mary and Kirby have faint confidence in this treasure hunt!
So in the days that followed, Grim, Mary, and Kirby all got busy. Grim spends his days and nights in the alchemy lab, busy building his new type of golem, and Mary goes out early and returns late all day, scarring herself every time. With the vampire clan's ability to suck blood and resurrect so well, and she can still leave so many scars, it can be seen that her training intensity is so great and the degree of danger is so high, that she has reached the limit that this body can bear.
As for Kirby, who is a little rich and determined to be the greatest goblin merchant, he rarely appears in the hall on the first floor in the past two days, but wears an old and tattered thief's equipment and practices those hidden housekeeping skills in the witchcraft practice room every day. As for the original golden magic equipment, it could only be locked in a wooden box with tears in its eyes.
Of course, during this time, Grim and Mary also took time out to participate in an underground raid organized by the training camp. However, after the last painful defeat, the Fallen Apprentices have apparently strengthened the garrison of various resource points, which has put Kevin's team in an unusually difficult battle.
In this battle, when the two quasi-wizards in Kevin's team and the fallen quasi-wizards on the opposite side were inseparable, Grim had to send a rock python demon golem to resist the bombardment of the extra fallen quasi-witch.
In the case that the number of quasi-witches was inferior to that of the opponent, and the strength of the high-level apprentices did not occupy much advantage, in order to avoid being flanked by the enemy's follow-up reinforcements, Kevin could only reluctantly give up this raid.
For such an ending, the team members seemed very calm. Because in their past tug-of-war battles, such results were the norm. As for the performance of Grim in battle, no one has an opinion. With the strength of an intermediate apprentice, he was able to resist the depraved quasi-witch's bombardment for a quarter of an hour, and such a record was absolutely speechless.
It is precisely because of his strength that Kevin's team did not suffer a rout due to the lack of quasi-witches. Otherwise, once the team is broken up, those high-level apprentices who dare to pack their own tickets will definitely be able to escape the pursuit of the other party? In the dim and deep underground tunnels, there are no less ambitious genius apprentices.
Every year, there are always more than a dozen senior apprentices who die quietly in a dark corner of the dark crypt, and even the big event of the fall of the quasi-witch also happens from time to time. The last time Elysium was destroyed by a surface wizard, the trigger was when a surface team of up to 6 people stumbled upon a fallen wizard while patrolling underground.
The reason for the incident is no longer known, because 2 quasi-witches and 4 high-level apprentices died silently underground. Enraged, the surface wizards, with the help of wizards sent by the Scattered Tallinn Wizards' Association, rushed into the ground and destroyed the enemy's stronghold, Elysium.
It's a pity that the enemy's second-order wizard Prideka Zhiji blew up the wizard tower, and escaped from Elysium with some of the fallen wizards, avoiding this catastrophe. Within a few years, a new Elysium was once again established.
The more they know about these situations, the more wary the elite apprentices will be of large-scale combat clashes, because if one side goes too far, it is likely to trigger a violent backlash from the opposing faction.
In the special environment of the dark crypt, no matter how talented and powerful the wizard apprentice, once the wizard in the opposing camp is provoked, then there will only be a gloomy ending. So last time I took down 3 heads of high-level depraved apprentices in one go, Kevin's team was already a little noisy. This time it was a disgrace, but it made the two quasi-witches in the team invisibly relieved.
As a passer-by in the dark crypt, Grim couldn't have stayed here for too long, so he couldn't understand the careful thinking behind these things at all. And the reason why he was obscure this time was purely because of his lack of mental and physical strength.
In the past few days, Grim has taken the Tranquility Elixir again, and this time it has brought him a spiritual increase of only 0.51 points. On the other hand, his physique fell below 3 points, which made the chip's evaluation of his body change from healthy to weak.
As a last resort, Grim could only suspend the taking of the contemplation potion and began to adjust his body with all his might. With his 15-year-old vigorous vitality and the stimulating and strengthening effect of mental power on the flesh and body, his physique should be normal at 4-5 o'clock.
However, this is also a common problem for all apprentices who take the elemental route, usually only pay attention to the exercise and cultivation of mental power, either sitting and meditating or reading and studying witchcraft knowledge, or copying witchcraft books for a long time, and for witchcraft experiments, they are exposed to those witchcraft materials that are harmful to the body for a long time...... And these bad habits also caused all the elemental apprentices to look much the same, looking sick and skinny.
If they can successfully advance to the wizard, then they will naturally have a lot of time and means to find some strange things to fill the gap in their bodies. But now, they can only grit their teeth and hold on, and even exchange physical losses for a little spiritual improvement again and again.
The failure of the mission did not affect Grim in any way. As soon as he returned from the underground, he continued to plunge into the alchemy laboratory, soaking most of his time in it, carefully and meticulously polishing the most anticipated number one demon golem, the lightning giant.
Finally, after more than ten days of painful suffering, Grim waved his hand to extinguish the magic flame on the alchemy table, raised the main crystal nucleus in his hand, which served as the carrier of the demon golem's consciousness, and squinted his eyes to study it carefully.
At this moment, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, because ......
The Lightning Giant is born!
