The conversation with the wizard of Angus lasted all night.

Grim also learned about the specific rules of the puppeteer competition, which can be roughly divided into a melee mode that wins by quantity and a puppet battle mode that wins by quality.

Each puppeteer's mental power has its upper limit, and the number of puppets that can be controlled at the same time is limited by the upper limit of mental power, and it is impossible to increase indefinitely. Therefore, the first melee mode is more of a test of the upper limit of the puppeteer's mental power and the level of puppet control under limited energy.

The second Puppet Battle mode is one of the most popular ways for most puppeteers to compete.

The two puppeteers each send their own carefully crafted puppets to fight each other like a human battle in the ring. The puppets are exquisitely crafted, and the one with the strongest power wins.

Of course, this aspect is a test of the puppeteer's skill and experience when making puppets, and a strong puppeteer will always be able to give the puppets he makes more and greater combat abilities. But on the other hand, it is actually a test of the economic strength of the family behind the puppeteer.

A terrifying puppet made entirely of underground gote gold, even if the puppeteer who created it is just a rookie with bad skills, he can easily overturn a dozen master works made of ordinary magic gold.

According to Angus, the Gretto family, who challenged their family this year, has been desperately searching for all kinds of rare puppet metals some time ago. I heard that in order to win this competition, the other party is secretly creating an extremely special battle puppet, but specific information is still difficult to obtain.

After sending Angus away, Grim immediately locked himself in the stone chamber and began to study the special profession of puppeteer behind closed doors.

Of course, the puppeteer is just a more general term. If it is subdivided, I am afraid it can be divided into more than a dozen different branches of the puppeteer genre. And the things they make also include golems, puppets, constructs, mechanical beasts, alchemical life, living creations, elemental golems, and magical machines......

The differences between them may be indistinguishable in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of the puppeteers, they are all very different in nature.

Take the puppet created by Grim, a pseudo-puppeteer, for example, it is very different from ordinary puppets and golems.

Under normal circumstances, the most expensive and rare magical metals used by puppeteers to create golems or puppets are all kinds of precious and rare magical metals. They use magical metal with good magic to create the inner core of the puppet, and then use demonic metal to create an indestructible body for the puppet.

Coupled with human-like joints, good transmission mechanism, hidden energy transmission pipes, and exquisite control loops...... With these, a qualified puppet is considered to be created.

The source of energy that drives the battle and actions of these puppets is the energy crystals embedded in their bodies, that is, magic crystals.

Therefore, compared to the puppets, these puppets generally have real bodies. What the puppeteer did was to delicately design and transform the witch circle inside the puppet, so that it could be more closely integrated with the puppet, so as to drive such a huge iron lump to operate flexibly.

And the golem, seriously, is nothing more than an elemental golem.

They didn't have real bodies at the time of summoning, but only a summoning crystal nucleus with a variety of witch circles carved into them. They rely on the free elemental energy naturally absorbed by the crystal nucleus, take local materials, extract the corresponding elemental substances from the surrounding environment, and use the witch array to control them and combine them into their own temporary torsos.

If you think about it purely from the perspective of combat power, the golem is definitely not as good as the golem or puppet with a solid body, but the golem also has an advantage that the other party cannot match, that is, it is easy to carry.

When not in use, the golem can dispel its temporary body and reduce itself to a spar the size of a pigeon's egg, which can be carried away in its arms. And the golem or puppet is often a huge metal humanoid four or five meters high, and the weight reaches a terrifying ten tons, and it cannot be folded and shrunk.

No matter how powerful such a puppet is, you can't run around the world with it every day. And to drive them to walk, the number of magic crystals consumed every day is not a small amount, not to mention the consumption during battle.

As a result, battle golems and puppets are generally only equipped in fixed sorcery facilities.

They are used to patrol and guard against foreign invasions, and the efficiency is far more efficient than that of wizards or wizard guards. When you are idle, you can also rely on the energy pool in the sorcery facility to recharge, so you can also save a lot of magic crystals.

However, Grim had also heard that some of the top puppeteers seemed to be able to create a special spatial magic weapon for storing golems and puppets, and called them puppet charms. It's just that the cost of creating this kind of puppet talisman is not cheaper than creating a top-level puppet, so it is difficult to promote it on a large scale, and it can only be used to carry those elite puppets with exquisite individuals but powerful combat power.

Considering these related factors, Grim still feels that the golem is more suitable for him than the puppet.

But now, when he needs to fight against an orthodox puppeteer, factors such as shipping and price can be ignored, and more needs to be considered for their combat power.

Both players are Tier 1 wizards, and it is impossible for them to create a sorcery creation that surpasses their own rank. At this time, the golem's lack of a sturdy body will be revealed in the confrontation with the metal puppet. Therefore, it is really necessary to fight with the other party and avoid hard encounters is the only way to win!

Although Grim has great confidence in his Flame Tyrant, considering the unpredictable world, he feels that it is better to prepare some strategies and tactics for the Flame Tyrant in advance. Otherwise, if he really encounters a terrifying Adamantite Golem on the field, then the Flame Tyrant faces an iron lump that cannot be touched and cannot be touched, and I am afraid that there is really a possibility of capsizing in the gutter.

No matter how high the technology is, I'm afraid of kitchen knives!

…………

A wizard's time is always precious!

A three-day wait may be a long time for an ordinary person, but for a wizard immersed in his own studies, it is not enough time to even take a nap.

Three days later, a new flying ship arrived, bringing with it fifteen wizards.

So the floating battleship that had enough wizards set sail without hesitation!

The space inside the floating battleship is much larger than that of the previous flying ship, but most of the space is reserved for a huge amount of cargo, and the rest needs to carry some necessary war witch weapons, so the living space left for wizards is still so small.

For the wizards aboard the floating battleship, they are both the passengers and guardians of the ship.

There are only 5 wizards sent by the Silver Alliance on each floating battleship, and most of them are only responsible for maintenance and management. Once a floating warship is attacked by monsters while crossing the channel, it is the duty and responsibility of the wizards on board to kill or expel them.

At this point, every wizard who comes on board the ship has already signed a witchcraft contract in advance.

If a wizard refuses to help in the need of help, the Silver Alliance wizards have the right to expel them. No matter how powerful a wizard is, if he is thrown off the ship halfway, the fate that awaits him is simply doomed!

When she learned about these boarding instructions, Alice muttered dissatisfiedly, "These Silver Alliance wizards are simply too calculating. Isn't this the equivalent of charging the boat fare of the foreign wizards and using them as free bodyguards!"

Goblin Kirby also nodded vigorously in agreement.

Grim laughed, "This is their territory, and of course everything needs to be done according to their rules." You two should also be careful, when you get to the city in the sky, you can't just say this kind of offensive words. Otherwise, I won't be able to save you if you provoke the silver-robed enforcers!"

Wizard Angus looked at the trio curiously.

A wizard, a quasi-wizard, and a quirky greenfield elf!

With such a vastly different hierarchy, it is difficult for them to get together.

In the wizarding world, only wizards with the same status as themselves deserve to be associated on an equal footing. Everything else is either a slave or a usable humanoid resource, and there is no possibility of equal interaction between all races and classes.

A wizard may be kind and caring for a quasi-witch. And this, either that quasi-witch is his disciple, or that quasi-witch is his direct blood relative. Otherwise, there is no other possibility.

As for a wizard talking to a greenfield spirit with a pleasant face, the only possibility is that he doesn't want to frighten the other party and affect his ongoing witchcraft experiments!

But the scene in front of him was obviously not within the common sense that he could understand.

The new Grimm wizard was clearly communicating with the would-be witch girl and the Greenland Spirit in a more egalitarian manner. In the eyes of most wizards, this is a degrading act.

After all, this Grim has just become a wizard, and he may not have gotten rid of his past habits and attitude. When he gets used to life as a wizard for a while, maybe he will change!

Wizard Angus comforted himself so much that he did not take the initiative to correct the "mistake" of this Wizard of Grim.

The cargo that the floating battleship needed to carry had already been prepared, and when the number of wizards reached the standard of sailing, the wizards who had been waiting in the airport for a long time also boarded the battleship one after another.

For the first time in his life, Grim met so many wizards.

Even in the last plane war, the Sarubo family almost poured out, and only twenty or thirty wizards could be seen on the battlefield. But today, wearing all kinds of robes, or leather armor, or special armor, one by one strange-looking wizards gathered in front of the crowd, quietly but orderly through the boarding board to step on the floating battleship.

This...... The shock it brought to Grim made his mouth a little dry!

When you live in a small and isolated area, the status of a wizard allows you to enjoy a life of obscenity and luxury that far surpasses that of the aristocracy. In the glittering banquet hall, you are the master of many large and small nobles competing for flattery, and you are also the object of flattery by many charming ladies and gorgeous girls.

Drunken beauty, absolute power, these will make you think that you have really become the master of this world.

But when you step out of the cage you have woven for yourself and come here, you will find that you are still as small as you were when you first became a wizard's apprentice.
