A difficult negotiation began.

For a qualified Upanishad wizard, a consistent success rate is the most important thing he should consider.

After some careful consideration, the success rate reported by Grim to Wizard Vergen was 17% for the Tier 2 Elemental Nucleus and 36% for the Tier 1 Elemental Nucleus.

Due to the inevitable loss of energy, all elemental golems will be degraded to varying degrees during the crafting process. Like those Tier 2 Elemental Nuclei created by Grim's hand, it would be good to be able to reach the Tier 1 peak level

Even Grim himself hadn't reached Rank 2, and he had little to no idea about the power that a Tier 2 wizard possessed. Except for knowing that a second-order wizard can attack a frightening number of 200 degrees with a casual attack, the rest is almost unknown.

Therefore, no matter how talented he is, it is impossible to cross the level to create a real second-order demon puppet!

Of course, Wizard Fogen can't be gullible about the basic success rate reported by Grim, but he also knows a thing or two about the professions of puppeteer and puppeteer. The success rate of ordinary arcane wizards in creating Tier 1 elemental golems is only about 42%, which is not much higher than that of Grim. And the magic puppets created by Grim are all improved by themselves, which consume less mana, occupy less mental power, and have great attack power!

With these advantages, it is understandable that the success rate is slightly lower than that of ordinary Upanishads.

Since this Grim dared to report a 36% success rate of the first-order elemental crystal nucleus, there must have been a lot of water mixed in it. However, with the 42% baseline of ordinary arcane wizards supporting it, he just lowered the success rate, and it was not too outrageous.

So before communicating with Grim, Wizard Fogen was mentally prepared that he would 'cut the price' fiercely. And now, the success rate reported by Grim is still above the psychological bottom line of Wizard Fogen. This undoubtedly made Wizard Fogen very satisfied with Grim's 'well-behaved'.

As for what Grim said about the inability to create a second-order strength golem, Wizard Fogen also chose to believe it.

After all, even the Demon Golem Wind Dragon that Grim created for himself used a second-order dragon crystal, and it had only reached the level of the peak of the first order, and its strongest attack barely reached 155 degrees, which was much worse than the original Flame Tyrant.

Of course, this is also related to the battlefield positioning of the two golems.

At the beginning of the construction of the Flame Tyrant, it was positioned as an extremely violent flame turret, and the fire sorcery was already good at attacking, so the maximum attack strength could reach about 175 degrees. The wind dragon is more concerned with high-speed maneuvering, and the wind sorcery is also known for being light and fast, so the maximum attack can reach 155 degrees.

After 'figuring out' each other's bottom line, Wizard Fogen and Grim quarreled over the exchange ratio for making golems.

According to Wizard Fogen, for every time the family provides 3 Tier 2 Elemental Crystal Nuclei and related auxiliary materials, Grim must come up with an Elemental Golem whose strength is not weaker than that of the Tier 1 elite. As for the successful creation of elemental golems, the family will recycle them at the price of 20,000 magic crystals each.

Grim, on the other hand, prefers to use Tier 2 Elemental Crystal Nuclei as a labor fee, and he prefers that the family can provide 4 Tier 2 Elemental Crystal Nuclei each time, and he can do not charge any fees for each successful submission of Elemental Golems.

Both sides were reluctant to give in on this issue, after all, it was related to the departure and retention of the second-order elemental crystal nucleus. In the Wizarding Continent, the base value of each Tier 2 Elemental Crystal Nucleus was above 50,000 magic crystals. And there is no market, so it is easy and difficult to collect.

The Sarubo family also relied on two secondary planes that had been operating for a long time to be able to take out so many second-order elemental crystal nucleus reserves in one go. If you change to those small families, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get out the double-digit second-order elemental crystal nucleus.

After some difficult bargaining, the two sides finally reached the first consensus. The Salubo family provides Grim with 7 Tier 2 Crystal Nuclei each time, and Grim must provide 2 elite-level golems, and the family no longer provides crafting costs for golems.

As for the production time, it will last for one year!

However, Grim also suggested that he needed to return to the Flame Throne Witch Tower to complete the work, after all, it was his personal domain, and there was an underground lava sea suitable for him to cultivate and recover.

Wizard Fogen reluctantly agreed to this question, after consulting with Lord Sanaza.

However, Wizard Fergen also demanded that Grim not leave the Flame Throne Witch Tower easily. If it is necessary to go out, you must ask for instructions from Wizard Vergen and be accompanied by him personally.

This, in fact, is also for the safety of Grim!

After all, an arcane wizard with such strategic significance to the family can easily fall into the trap of a rival family once he goes out, so if Grim doesn't want to die, then living in a shallow way is his only way to protect himself.

As for the title of Fire Demon that he had just broken through, it was nothing at all in the eyes of the second-order wizards of those rival families.

And in order to strengthen the Flame Throne Witch Tower, Wizard Fogen finally agreed to send Meryl as well. This is actually tantamount to acquiescing that Grim can legitimately form a small circle of his own.

And this kind of power, in the average wizard family, can only be enjoyed by those second-order wizards.

Now that Grim, with the strength of a first-order wizard, he can pull together a team in the family in a self-contained manner, which can be seen as the greatest sincerity shown by the Salubo family in any case!

As for why the high-ranking members of the Sarubo family were so open-minded this time, Grim also secretly guessed that this was most likely a conspiracy of the other party.

All along, Grim has followed the fire witch route, trying to develop in the direction of a battle wizard.

However, now that the situation has changed, Grim has revealed such a powerful talent for arcane wizards, which is actually taking advantage of the thoughts of the higher-ups of the Sarubo family.

Creating 2 elemental golems for the family in one year also means that Grim will spend most of his time in the preparation of elemental crystal nuclei and the refining of elemental golems during this year. Although this can bring him a huge amount of magic crystal income, and if he is lucky, he can even harvest a second-order crystal nucleus, but he needs to pay the consequences of his long-term stagnation in strength.

This is extremely torturous for a guy who aspires to become a battle wizard!

At this moment, the benefits given to Grim in front of him were too great and too great, so he would be so enthusiastic and surging to devote himself to the arduous and boring refining of the elemental demon puppet. After three or five years of hard work, he will find that although he has gained a lot of resources and magic crystals, what he has lost is the ambition and fighting spirit he once had.

With the resources of the Sarubo family, Grim can be firmly chained to the alchemy laboratory by this means. If three or five years is not enough, then thirty or fifty years will be consumed. On the one hand, the family was able to convert 'dead' resources into 'living' combat power, and on the other hand, it was able to slowly wear away Grim's sharpness.

Therefore, when the Sarupo family discovered this 'talent' of Grim, they changed their attitude of desperately suppressing it before, and instead became demanding and cared for it in every way.

For this kind of scheming of the Sarubo family, Grim is not dismissive at all.

With the assistance of the chip, the speed and success rate of his creation of the Elemental Golem were simply beyond the imagination of outsiders. So the idea of wanting to tie him to the alchemy laboratory by relying on this is simply wrong!

This gave him the opportunity and time to polish his mental strength.

When they were about to part, Wizard Fogen glanced at Grim with complicated eyes and admonished meaningfully: "I have seen something strange in your apprentices, you should be careful yourself, don't be deceived by the superficial meekness of some little guys......"

Grim's heart was slightly cold, knowing that the changes in Billis's body had not been hidden from Wizard Fogen's perception, so he could only nod his head to indicate that he was taught.

After negotiating with the family and signing a twenty-year-long witchcraft contract, Grim returned to the Flame Throne Witch Tower with the help of the teleportation array in the Wizard Tower of Ferdinand City. Meryl and Billis accompanied him back, while Sabrina and the other apprentices had to return to the Witch Tower on their own.

This time, the base cost of teleporting each person is 2,000 Magic Crystals, and the three of them together are 6,000 Magic Crystals. If this fee is not directly waived by the family, I am afraid that Grim is really reluctant to spend such a large amount of magic crystals in order to save 4 days on the road.

It's not that Wizard Vergen has suddenly become generous this time, it's that he just can't afford the risks along the way.

In addition to being a powerful battle wizard, Fire Demon Grim is also a skilled puppet refiner, and such rumors have long spread throughout most of the central part of the continent. In this case, it is simply an unforgivable and dangerous act to allow Grim to return to the Flame Throne Witch Tower on his own!

So in order to avoid accidents on the road, Wizard Fogen could only nod and acquiesce in Grim's 'big' move!

…………

The misty teleportation light had just dissipated from the teleportation array.

Grim shook his slightly dizzy head slightly, and waited until the scene before him stabilized, only to see Gargamel with a wand in one hand, a witchcraft scroll in the other, and a potion vial in his mouth.

Grim apparently didn't notify Gargamel in advance of his return, and he borrowed the teleportation array when he returned, so when Gargamel sensed the movement in the teleportation room of the Witch Tower, he immediately hurried over with the forest demon.

Gargamel, with his sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and a thin, withered appearance, stared at a pair of round mouse eyes, and looked at the three people who teleported with vigilance. When he saw Grim's familiar tall figure, he breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly put away all his equipment, waved his hand and called out the forest demon hiding in the shadows, and came to meet his master together.

I have to say that although Gargamel's strength is not very good, as a housekeeper, he is still quite competent.
