Chapter 0743: Boots of Ashes and the Stealing Worm
The thirteenth floor of the White Tower.
As a high-ranking second-order wizard, the fly camp at the bottom of the Witch Tower can no longer affect Grim's daily life and study.
Now Grim has completely become the master, and the daily management and maintenance of the two witch towers have been completely decentralized.
Of course, Grim's claims to the outside world can only be to cultivate the experience and experience of the family wizards. But in fact, it is just a means for him to shirk and shift his own responsibility.
Seriously, standing at the level of a second-order wizard, looking back at the life and daily life of the lower level of the Witch Tower, there is an illusion of an indifferent chess player silently looking down at the chessboard in his hand. The crimson future, the efforts of the family wizards, and the countless apprentices and lords gathered like black crushing ants are no longer living creatures in Grim's eyes at this moment, but just inconspicuous dots.
It's just that some of the dots are smaller, and some of them are a little bigger!
At this moment, one or two small dots could no longer attract his attention at all. It was only when those little dots converged and rampage on the board that he was tempted to invest a little energy. And this kind of betting also comes with a certain randomness and chance, which is not so timely and urgent.
It's like a lazy farmer who looks to the sky for the harvest, he is only responsible for planting the seeds at the right time, and then waiting until the next time he thinks about it to probe again. And the length of this exploration is often related to the length of the witchcraft experiments he is underway.
If the sowing fails, it's a big deal to sow again. If he succeeds, he will only happily harvest the part he needs. As for the rest, it naturally became the reward for the hard work of the low-level wizards.
As a result, many of the things Meryl did to do well were just random tests and occasional thoughts in Grim's eyes.
This is the different perspective of life forms in different dimensions to see things!
For Grim, as the patriarch of the Crimson family, he naturally has an obligation to make the newly established family domain prosperous and rich. But when it comes to each step and every link, Grim only needs to explain his meaning simply, and naturally there will be a wizard like Meryl who will be responsible for implementing and enforcing it.
In this process, Grim doesn't even need to do it himself, but only needs to pay attention and push things forward when the time comes. Therefore, in the eyes of the high-ranking Grimm, the Black Forest training activities in the hearts of Locke and the others were just an insignificant part of the actual combat training of the family apprentices.
Even if a large number of apprentices die unexpectedly in the Black Forest, it will only delay the family's rise by five or six years.
For little Locke, an accident may mean the end of life. But for a second-order wizard with a life limit of 400 years, it was just a long and small witchcraft experiment.
Even if he fails, all he needs to do is to erase these losers, replace them with a new batch of 'experimental materials', and continue this family development process of continuous exploration and trial and error!
While correcting the family's strategy through trial and error, most of Grim's energy was occupied by the witchcraft experiments at hand. Among them, what caught his attention the most was undoubtedly the refining of the Flame Throne two-piece set.
For this reason, he even invited a master sewing master from the Northland Witch at a high price, and sewed a dragon boot of exactly the right size and style for himself using dragon skin, dragon tendons, and fire marrow crystals as the basic materials. Then Grim completed the final step of concocting it himself, using a special technique to induce the flame witch array engraved in advance under the skin of the dragon boots.
As a bright yellow flame burned on the pair of dragon boots, all the debris attached to the leather boots was burned clean, leaving only the purest and most basic substrate. Subsequently, the magic patterns and runes etched on the inside of the boots loomed through, forming mysterious and mysterious strange patterns on the surface of the boots.
At this point, it took Grim hundreds of thousands of magic crystals and three months to create the first piece of the Flame Throne set, the Ash Boots, finally completed!
As Grim's first Tier 2 sorcery equipment, Ash can not only grant Grim a higher magic resistance, but also unleash the 'Burning Path' without wasting Grim's mental power. In this way, Grim will spontaneously form a burning path behind him one meter high and two meters wide as he passes through any area.
Any mob that steps into the Burning Path takes 60 degrees of fire damage per second, and the Burning Path lasts up to 3 minutes.
This also means that Grim can easily set up a combat environment on the battlefield that is most conducive to himself. And in the flames, Grim's own recovery power will also be doubled, which is undoubtedly more beneficial for him to fight a protracted battle!
As a bonus, the Ash Boots also gave Grim a 1 mental power bonus. This point has not been estimated in advance even by chips. According to Grim's guess, it must have a slight connection with the same origin and homogeneity as the dragon material used to concoct the Boots of Ashes.
Thanks to that great second-order fire dragon Bamler, it not only contributed the best quality fire dragon skin on the surface of the body, but also contributed a 3-meter-long fire dragon tendon, as well as a fire pith crystal condensed from the fire dragon's spinal cord. Of course, the rest of the things were not wasted, and all of them were devoured by the dragon devouring lady Oliven, and became the nourishment for her to continue to grow.
It's a pity that Oliver obviously won't allow Grim to scan her body and soul origin with a chip, so the extent of her progress can only be estimated by her external performance.
Olivan, Tier 2 Advanced, Female, Race: Unknown, Class Identity: Dragon Eater, Body Base Data: Strength>10 Constitution>12 Agility>21 Spirit>20, Bloodline Ability: Reverse Dragon Might, Dragon Nemesis......
In particular, when Olivan faced the dragon, his magic resistance doubled, and most of his attacks ignored the dragon's external magic and physical defenses...... It's so cool to use these special class abilities to slay dragons!
This made Grim can't help but want to steal some of the dragoneater's bloodline ability.
However, after learning about the Dragon Eater's flaws from the side, Grim dispelled this boring idea again.
First of all, the power of the Dragon Eater is only for dragons!
In the face of other aliens, most of the Dragon Eater's abilities are useless, and he immediately becomes a soft-footed crab.
Secondly, the Dragon Eater is the common enemy of the powerful dragons!
Don't look at the Thunder Dragon Arms's current relationship with Grim's good relationship with Grim's honey blending oil, but once it discovers that Grim's subordinates are hiding a dragon eater, I'm afraid it will turn against Grim in a few minutes.
There is no way, the bloodline talent of the Dragon Eater is too terrifying, it is simply a slayer born specifically for the great dragon clan. Once any dragon eater is made strong, it will pose a great threat to the entire Reims plane, and even the entire dragon race.
And once Grim steals part of the Dragon Eater's bloodline talent, then his relationship with the entire Dragon Clan will also be passively locked in the state of 'Blood Feud'!
At that time, everywhere he goes, I am afraid that all the dragons will be eager to destroy him completely.
The Great Dragon Clan is a cosmic powerhouse that is comparable to powerful wizards, can you still have a good one if you are targeted by them?
It is precisely because of such scruples that Grim can only sigh and let the 'source stealer' in his hand continue to be silent.
After more than ten years of continuous exploration and cultivation, that strange talent predatory insect has been cultivated by Grim for three generations. And according to the biological bloodline experiments over the years, Grim found that most living individuals can only withstand genetic changes within 15% of their own bloodline power.
If it is measured by the usual biological level of wizards, it means that the degree of each bloodline change cannot exceed two small levels.
In other words, a Tier 2 Beginner Wizard can only plunder some of the talents of Tier 2 Advanced Lifeforms at most. Once beyond this range, the recipient will be unable to withstand the demands of the bloodline, causing the body to collapse and the gene chain to break.
Such an injury will directly affect the soul origin of the recipient, and there is no way to save it!
It was only at this moment that Grim understood why the dragons had such a strong physique. If they didn't have such a strong physique, I'm afraid that even their own bodies would not be able to carry the powerful bloodline power!
Stealing the source worm, Grim has been cultivating it for three or four years. Except for the occasional transfer of biological talents during biological bloodline experiments to accumulate the necessary data parameters, the rest are still farmed at the top of the Crimson Throne.
The reason why Grim didn't dare to apply it to himself easily was because things like bloodline talent were easy to change, but once he found that his path had diverged and wanted to go back, it would be extremely difficult!
Although his current talent is not excellent, the flame of the fire demon body also gives Grim terrifying battlefield dominance and combat lethality. If one accidentally 'pollutes' his bloodline and does not get a desired result, I am afraid that Grim will not even be able to cry at that time.
Of course, in addition to himself, Grim can also use this source stealing insect to lay a foundation on many subordinates first, and accumulate some more experience in the transfer of bloodline talents.
However, after checking it with his fingers, Grim couldn't find the most suitable subordinate.
The guy with the right strength has a problem with his loyalty, but his loyalty is okay but he has a heavy responsibility, and it is really difficult to withdraw from his bloodline experiment. And those who are weak don't deserve to waste a difficult breeding source worm on them.
The current Crimson family, one radish and one pit, almost every family wizard has a difficult task on their shoulders. If one or two wizards at the core of the family were to fall because of their own bloodline experiments, then the operation of the Crimson family would immediately come to a standstill, and even a terrible regression.
And that's something Grim never wants to see!
