Chapter 0317: Puppet Life

He took the wooden box and pushed it lightly to open a hidden compartment underneath.

Inside, a black stone lay silently.

Grim pinched it up with his fingers and held it up in front of his eyes to watch it silently. On his retina, through the powerful visual scanning ability of the chip, the black stone, which was originally only the size of a finger's belly, was continuously magnified and magnified......

The first thing that caught his eye was a series of strange grooves and patterns as fine as mosquitoes and flies, which lingered and nested with each other, connected by complex and unusual rune lines, and together formed a small rune array. Once the free magical elements in the air touched the black stone, they would slowly merge into it, occasionally lighting up one or two adjacent runes.

To be able to see this, Grim has relied on the powerful power of the chip to magnify the visual image by a hundred times. Without the assistance of the chip, Grim would only see the blackstone shining faintly, and it would be impossible to analyze its basic operating mechanism so intuitively.

Golem Stone, an exclusive material banned by the Silver Alliance, can be used to temporarily activate some golem structures. It is also one of the most frequently used consumables by the wizards of the Ocillards!

The puppet stone in front of him is only the size of a finger's belly, and can only be used to activate some small puppet structures. If you want to activate a medium to large golem structure like a metal war puppet, you can only rely on the Golem Heart.

If it weren't for a visit to the Wizard's Tower of an Alliance Councilor, Grim would not have been able to obtain this special controlled item.

"Chip, remember to take notes!" Grim ordered calmly.

"Drop, the 5th Golemstone Experiment File has been established...... Now for dynamic data capture......"

Without hesitation, Grim crushed the golem stone.

Almost instantly, a large amount of white smoke was emitted from the puppet stone.

The white smoke did not escape from all directions, but gathered together and swirled in the air. Immediately, they discovered the existence of the wooden golem, and then suddenly made a spin in the air, burrowing into the wooden golem's body.

In the next second, the wooden puppet sat up on the stone platform like a suddenly resurrected being, and began to cough violently.

At the same time, the various runes that Grim had applied to the wooden golem with invisible materials in advance began to light up one after another, and appeared on the wooden surface of the wooden golem's yellow-brown body.

Most of them lit up.

Of course, there are some exceptions!

The crack in the wooden golem's right leg had apparently destroyed the integrity of the rune array there, and with a crackling sound, black smoke came out of the crack.

The animated wooden golem climbed up from the stone platform with difficulty.

It can be seen that the severely injured right leg makes it appear clumsy and sluggish.

I have to say that Grim's craft of making wooden golems is really rotten!

Whether it is the wire palm of the wooden puppet, or the skinned wings of the wooden frame, or the body fixed by iron nails, it is almost like a handicraft pieced together by an immature child, so rough and simple that it is impossible to look at directly.

But with the activation of this strange white smoke, it seems that everything has been optimized!

The puppet struggled to his feet, moving his creaking wrists, neck, and shoulders, and pressed one hand to his chest and respectfully saluted, "It's a pleasure to meet you, my master!

It's a childish voice with a hint of childlike sound.

Although it was not the first time that he had seen a pile of "garbage" composed of wood, nails, wires, coils, and pieces of cloth come back to life in front of him, and possess a rudimentary intelligence that was not inferior to that of ordinary humans, Grim's heart was still full of strange feelings of inconsistency and absurdity.

What a strange world!

"Report your health!" Grim gave the first order to the resurrected wooden puppet Billy.

"Uh......" Billy began to try to move the various parts of his body, and even flapped his 'wings' twice on his back to verify that they were still in good condition.

"Report to the master, this body is really rotten enough. ”

"I seem to have something wrong with my heart, which makes me a little breathless. The wooden golem hammered his chest with his 'iron hand', gasping for breath.

Grim's eyes focused on the wooden golem's chest, and through the finger-thick wooden shell, he clearly saw a magic crystal embedded in the rune array. At this moment, the rune array has begun to run wildly, constantly extracting basic magic power from the magic crystal and introducing it into the rune circuit.

It's just that the connection of the runes seems to be a little unsmooth, some of the runes are lit, and some of the runes are still dim, which causes the movements of the wooden puppets to always have some uncoordinated stutters.

A total of 37 fault points were found, including 3 technical failures, 33 failures caused by poor manufacturing technology, and 1 failure caused by material deterioration...... Final evaluation: energy utilization rate 24.18%......"

"If the manufacturing process is improved, how much will the energy utilization rate be improved?"

"Drop, after eliminating all material and process failures, the energy utilization rate is expected to reach 57.33%......"

"Why is it so low, the energy utilization rate is only more than half!" asked Grim, confused.

"The material is of low grade and the energy overflow is serious. If you want to continue to improve your energy utilization, we recommend using the following crafting materials from Wood Golems: Treant Core, Magic Iron Alloy, Magic Mithril ......"

Damn, you get what you pay for!

Everybody understands this.

It would be a waste to waste these precious resources on a wooden golem for hand training!

Grim vetoed the chip's prompt directly in his heart.

"Fly up and let me see!" Grim ordered.

Billy, the wooden puppet, immediately stood up, and the ugly pair of 'wings' behind him began to flapp. A cool breeze blows, and the wooden golem begins to float slowly.

In Grim's elemental vision, the fluorescent brightness emitted by the energy center beneath the wooden golem's chest shell immediately climbed three levels. Some of the runes with conflicting energy lines immediately erupted with dazzling fluorescence.

"Billy, stop flying immediately!" Grim hurriedly ordered.

It's a pity that it's too late.

With a slight explosion, thick black smoke immediately rose from the body of the wooden puppet Billy, and fine cracks were blown out of the chest shell.

"Ah...... I...... No way...... Finish...... I'm going to...... Dead!"

After a shrill scream, the wooden golem's body, which had just floated to the height of Grim's head, suddenly stiffened and twisted, and then fell crookedly.

Grim reached out and caught it.

The unsightly wooden golem, whose entire body had been twisted and exploded, coughed violently a few more times, and then stopped moving. Immediately, the strange white smoke spilled out of the wooden puppet's body and slowly drifted into the air.

Billy the Wooden Puppet is really dead!

A puppet with rudimentary wisdom was born in less than 126 seconds before it came to the end of its life!

The main reason for its death was the shoddy workmanship of the wooden golem's body. If, I mean, if Grim had put a little bit of thought into crafting this wooden golem, he might have been able to get a wooden golem Billy forever.

However, such a wooden puppet with a simple body has no combat power, nor does it have any special abilities, and it needs to replace the magic crystals in its body from time to time. To be honest, there is no use in asking for such a low-level puppet creature at all!

Grim is not a child holding a doll and needs to be accompanied, even if such a false puppet life dies, it can't set off a ripple in his heart!

Before the smoke cleared, Grim took the opportunity to collect some more.

So far, he has fully mastered the basic knowledge of puppet biomanufacturing, and the only thing he has not yet figured out is the operating principle of these puppet stones and the composition of white smoke.

How did they invade the inside of the puppet structure, how did they control the rune system, and most importantly, where did the primary intelligence they gave birth to?

This...... In fact, it is the core problem that Grim wants to figure out through trial and error!

Grim, who has already made initial contact with the plane war, knows very well that the essence of the plane war is aggression and plunder!

The wizards tried their best to find the coordinates of one plane world after another in the depths of the vast sea of stars, for what?

Only those who are weak can have such naïve, such idealized conjectures!

It can attract wizards to cross the vast sea of stars from hundreds of millions of miles, risk being suppressed by the plane consciousness, and endure the desperate siege of the local natives, for the sake of the heart-pounding rich resources and massive slaves in each material plane!

Once a plane is created, the resources and population of the plane can be taken as they please.

Such wealth and resources, if concentrated in the hands of a single wizard, can quickly allow it to grow and develop. There is no longer a need to travel thousands of miles to find a little resource, nor do you have to explore the treacherous and terrifying ancient ruins in order to earn magic crystals to buy materials.

Seriously speaking, nearly half of a wizard's life is probably spent on the road of gathering knowledge and resources!

And if you want to avoid this, you must have the basic strength to take down a plane.

Individual strength is one!

And cluster strength is a different kind!

With Grim's current strength, if he wants to run away and invade other material planes, it is purely to give away people's heads!

Even the material plane with the worst overall strength will have powerful individuals with strength as high as three or four orders inside. Although their strength may not be comparable to that of the powerhouses in the wizarding world, they are still more than enough to crush a small first-order wizard like Grim.

So the goal Grim set for himself was to try to reach level 2.

Only by becoming a 2nd order can Grim be able to reach the minimum strength threshold for invading the secondary planes!

And in order to assist in the invasion, the one who can provide him with the greatest help is undoubtedly the puppet legion that benefits without costing, the demon puppet legion. Only these loyal elemental creatures and puppet creatures will not have loyalty problems, and they can make Grim feel confident and bold to use.

Therefore, for a long time in the future, in addition to working hard to improve his strength, Grim will also try to strengthen the combat power and number of magic puppets and puppets.

As for Mary, Alice, and Kirby, they are the "heroes" that Grim is trying to pull into his camp.

The huge dimensional world is not something that can be defeated by one person with bare hands, and if necessary, Grim really needs to find some good helpers for himself!
