Chapter 0085: Combat Power Strengthened
The most orthodox path facing Grim is undoubtedly to continue to deepen the study of those witchcraft knowledge related to his affinity with the fire element. www.biquge.info Only these things can help me hit the wizard threshold in the future. And the current demon puppet refining that has helped him the most is no less than a crooked and evil way, and it belongs to the content that has deviated.
The relationship between this is like the relationship between "Tao" and "Art" in the previous life.
"Dao" is the development path that I have chosen for myself, and it is also the ultimate goal that I am destined to pursue and explore for the rest of my life. On the other hand, "technique" is just a means used to achieve a small goal, and it is only an auxiliary method.
Although Grim still has very little fire sorcery to learn and master, and it is difficult to deal with the current enemy in terms of power, it is Grim's "way". In the future, if he wants to stay on the path of a wizard, he must now spend a lot of time immersed in it, trying to understand and master the characteristics and rules of the fire element. Only in this way can we be regarded as grasping our own "Tao".
As for the golem, it may be able to surpass his peers in a short period of time, giving him infinite glory with his might. But after all, such things are just means, and they don't blend with his own "Dao", so it's okay to use them to fight and win, and it's okay to use them to grab resources, but if you want to become a wizard in the future, then the research of fire witchcraft must not be left behind.
For others, it is difficult to balance the path of Tao and art, so they can only choose one or the other. But for Grim, there is no contradiction. After all, with the assistance of the chip, the most time-consuming data accumulation and analysis in witchcraft research can be completed by the chip, and he only needs to sit back and wait for the final extraction of the essence of knowledge and integrate them into his own witchcraft path.
Therefore, the difference between Tao and Shu has become less obvious in Grim.
Now that Grim's spiritual power has reached the intermediate apprentice level, the number of witchcraft models he can solidify in the spiritual sea can reach as many as 6, and now only 4 have been successfully solidified: Burning Hand, Flame Arrow, Flame Spear, and Flame Shield.
As a result, it became a little difficult to go in which direction to proceed with the next research on fire witchcraft. There are currently two types of witchcraft that Grimm likes, the Body of Fire and the Molten Orb.
The Body of Fire can allow Grim's body to contain more fire elementals, and greatly improve his fire resistance, which is the only way to transform the fire elemental in the later stage. However, if you want to master this witchcraft, in addition to the study of fire witchcraft, you also need to take into account some knowledge of body structure and mutation.
The Molten Flame Ball, as the name suggests, is to condense a huge amount of fire and earth elements together to form a huge fireball with a diameter of 1 meter. When flying, this fireball deals earth-based damage to enemies and causes knockback, and when detonated by the caster, it deals a massive amount of fire-based damage. Therefore, it is a dual-attribute damage range of sorcery.
However, in order to master it, Grim must also take care of some earth knowledge.
If you consider the effect of sorcery attacks alone, it is undoubtedly the most suitable Molten Ball. Grim already has a melee Burning Hand, a ranged Flame Bolt, and a Flame Spear, both of which are monolithic attack sorcery that needs to be supplemented by an area-of-effect sorcery.
However, considering the future, if Grim wants to achieve something in the fire system, sorcery specialization and body elementalization are both paths that will be taken sooner or later. At this time, lay a good foundation first, and it will be more helpful for the future.
Grim only hesitated slightly, and then firmly chose the body of fire.
If you change to another wizard apprentice, when faced with a similar choice, you need to consider the present in addition to the future. The body of fire can further improve its affinity with the fire element, and its fire resistance will also increase dramatically, but it has no essential improvement in the sorcery battle between apprentices.
And once an apprentice is defeated and dies in a battle with an enemy of the same rank, where will there be a future? Therefore, the right path of witchcraft is there, but in order to survive the endless battle, there are still many apprentices who have to give up the future and choose to maximize their combat ability.
But this problem does not exist in Grim.
Due to the existence of chips, for the puppet biomanufacturing that is difficult for others to grasp and profound, it seems easy and easy for Grim. Therefore, under the protection of many demon golems, he can completely ignore the threat posed by the enemy, and optimize his sorcery path to the fullest.
Now that he has decided to learn about the Body of Fire, Grim has to go to the Wizard's Tower Library to buy some basic knowledge of body anatomy and mutation. Fortunately, these things are only the basic disciplines of the undead department, and they can be purchased as long as you have magic crystals. If more advanced spiritual alienation and spiritual elements are involved, I'm afraid that Grim will only have to visit the official wizards of the undead department to collect the corresponding knowledge.
In the midst of all this hectic activity, Kirbymon kept his hands respectfully holding the witchcraft books purchased by his master, and followed Grim like a faithful servant. The wizarding apprentices who passed by along the way were puzzled by the appearance of a green-skinned goblin in the wizard's tower, but when they saw the gleaming golden collar around the neck of Kirbymon, they understood its identity.
In order to make up for their lack of sorcery ability, some apprentices will also collect and enslave some magical beasts or monsters. However, most of them are the powerful Nightblade Leopard, Rock Turtle, Red Flame Tiger, Socratic Giant Eagle, Earth Giant Spirit, etc., and it is very rare to take a green-skinned goblin as a servant.
And Kirbymon, as a former servant of a second-order wizard, has obviously seen the world, so not only did he not have the slightest timidity, but immediately substituted himself into the ranks of loyal servants, and even took the initiative to help Grim bargain, and looked like he was happy with it.
After experiencing several such scenes, Grim was surprised to find that this Kirbymon not only has an extremely accurate grasp of the market, but also has good eloquence, and has the potential to become a profiteer.
Since this discovery, Grim has simply let go. Whenever you need something, just give Kirby Beast a list of items, and then give it the magic crystal card and let it take full responsibility for procurement. And Grim kept his door closed, hiding in his residence all day long, silently studying the witchcraft knowledge passed on to him by the chip.
In order to increase its motivation, Grim even made a pact with Kirbymon that all the items he needed would be spent at the market price, and that the discounts he received after bargaining would become its personal reward.
With this incentive, Kirbymon, who had never had his own personal belongings, went crazy in an instant, and immediately transformed into one of the greatest profiteers in the Wizarding Tower, hanging shoulders with a group of junior apprentices all day long.
But don't say it, this Kirbymon really has its own unique insights and talents for the price changes of items, buying low and selling high, hoarding and driving up prices...... These complex business methods, which can only be mastered by human beings, have been learned by it in a few days, and they are doing it vigorously and in full swing.
Soon, the entire junior and intermediate wizard apprentices on the first floor knew about such a goblin merchant named Kirby. Not only is it extremely shrewd in business, but it also has some special items in its hands that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain, so this makes it even more mysterious and weird.
No way, the two depraved guys killed by Grim and Mary were both high-level apprentices, and the equipment and witchcraft on them were not accessible to those junior and intermediate apprentices. Therefore, when Grim handed over these things to Kirby for processing, it was even more emboldened.
Yes, since making a name for itself in the Apprentice Market on the first floor, it has used the magic crystals it earned to add a set of outfits to itself. Delicate and gorgeous magic robes, a full set of glittering magic equipment, although most of them are inferior goods that junior apprentices tried to get their hands on, but a set of titanium alloy dogs that are enough to dazzle outsiders is enough.
Coupled with the beautiful and handy magic staff and the magic cloak that drags behind you, it will cause a small wave of greetings as soon as it appears in the apprentice market now. In order to match his style, this guy has now removed the word "beast" from his name, calling himself Kirby, a full businessman.
And the reason why many junior and intermediate apprentices are chasing it is only because of the third- and fourth-order magic items that it can take out every three or five times. These aren't the witchcraft that ordinary apprentices can get.
During this period, of course, there were also market enforcers who came to confiscate it aggressively, but when Kirby secretly revealed the name of his master, the guy named Ryan could only leave in disgrace. Obviously, Ryan also knew well about Grim's scenery in the training camp through the family forces behind him, so as long as Kirby didn't go too far, he didn't want his family to offend such an elite apprentice who was in a period of rapid ascent.
But all this, of course, the ordinary apprentice does not know. On the contrary, Ryan's unusual behavior aroused the curiosity of the apprentices, and they asked who the person behind Kirby was, but no one knew.
Therefore, in private, a rumor suddenly popped up that this green-skinned goblin named Kirby was most likely the slave of an official wizard. So fueled by these strange rumors, the business in front of Kirby's stall became more and more popular!
And Grim, who knew nothing about all this, locked himself in his dwelling, and seriously conceived his future path.
Since he had chosen to study the Body of Fire first, it would be impossible for his sorcery combat power to be substantially improved in the short term. In the future, if you want to maintain your combat superiority in the Dark Crypt, you must fully exploit the combat potential of the golem.
As a mount, the Crocodile Hunter's excellent ability to travel through dirt has allowed Grim to establish his dominant position, but the lack of attack ability is still its shortcoming. The Demon Crocodile Hunter was more than enough to deal with an intermediate apprentice, but it was a little too weak to deal with a high-level apprentice, and when it faced a quasi-witch-level opponent, its too loose body structure made it almost vulnerable.
At this time, the appearance of the Rock Python Demon Golem made up for the lack of Grim's attack power. One quasi-witch-level rock python may not be enough to confront the mobile and nimble depraved quasi-witch, but what about two?
It only took three days for Grim to turn the two quasi-witch-level earth-based crystal nuclei into rock python demon puppets again. Presumably with them by his side, the next time he faces those depraved quasi-witches, he will never be like the last time, he will not be like the last time, and he almost put his life underground.
