Chapter 0029 - The Choice of the Road 1
Of course, Grim is ignorant of these secrets outside his body. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He's in typical pain and happy right now.
He thought he had plenty of time to develop silently, but today's events reminded him that things might not have developed as smoothly as he had expected.
The previous life was too peaceful, and he had the illusion that his apprenticeship could go on so smoothly forever. But today's thrilling encounter made him understand the unattainable deep gap between his junior apprentice and his senior apprentice.
Looking at the highly unusual talent of the senior apprentice and the sorcery that matched his own natural abilities, Grim felt more and more that he was lagging behind and lagging behind.
If you follow the original trajectory, it may take you another three to four years to advance to the rank of intermediate apprentice with the day-to-day accumulation of meditation and witchcraft knowledge. And to become a senior apprentice, Grim needs to work hard as an intermediate apprentice for ten years. As for becoming a quasi-witch, Grim's current talent is not very promising.
As an apprentice wizard, every bit of spiritual power growth is so precious and difficult. If you are not as talented as others, and you want to improve faster than others, then the only way is to usurp more resources and enough knowledge of witchcraft to support it.
There is no other way.
And if you want to improve your witchcraft strength, the first choice is to improve your physical fitness. Any sorcery, whether it's a secondary attack or a ranged attack, is always supported by one's own body. Only with perfect physical fitness can witchcraft play its own lethality more effectively.
After returning safely from the outside of the tower, Grim locked himself in his dwelling and pondered it.
In the development direction of the four wizards summarized by the previous wizards, Grim weighed the pros and cons, combined with his own situation, and silently chose the direction for himself.
Alchemist Wizard.
If you want to become a body refining wizard, you must first have an indomitable, steel-cast iron strong will. Because in order to stimulate and strengthen their bodies, those body refining wizards can do anything.
In order to temper their bodies, some soak themselves in poison tanks all day long, what scorpion venom, snake venom, spider venom, what seven unique flowers, nightmare grass, zombie powder...... In short, whether it is a biotoxin or a plant venom, what poison they use. From shallow to deep, from weak to strong, he repeatedly stimulates every cell in his body with terrible poisons of different styles, forcing his body to release its potential and strengthening his flesh and body little by little.
Of course, when they do this, they will definitely do a good job of prevention, accurately calculate and guess the limit of their endurance, so as not to really poison themselves.
And with the progress of alchemy step by step, after passing the primary threshold, with resistance, I am afraid that the ordinary poisons in the world will no longer be effective against them. If you want to take a step forward in the future, you can only go to the hard work to find those rarer voodoos.
Therefore, as a body refining wizard, I am afraid that nearly half of the first half of my life will be wasted on repeatedly calculating and measuring my endurance and looking for all kinds of voodoo that will work for me.
Of course, in order to strengthen the body, some body refining wizards will also specifically look for and collect some items with terrifying radiation capabilities, and use the stimulation of radiation to temper the body. There are even some body refining wizards who will look for some particularly harsh natural environments and use terrifying natural forces to stimulate their own progress.
In short, there are all kinds of things, and as a body refining wizard, you always have to suffer in all kinds of pain, and only in this way can you obtain a terrifying body that is far beyond ordinary people.
If you want to become a body refining wizard, you first need to obtain a complete set of body refining methods, and then collect all kinds of poisons everywhere to survive the long grinding period. Moreover, in the process of refining the body, you will become very weak, and you will also need better and more refined food to nourish your weak body.
And when the quenching body is small, he also needs to find some suitable physical skills to cultivate, so that the skyrocketing physique and strength can have greater attack power and attack methods.
From the analysis of these basic situations, Grim still has some rejection of becoming a refining wizard in his heart. Not to mention the difficulty of obtaining the secret technique of body refining, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to even deal with those rare ingredients that cooperate with body refining. So not surprisingly, the path of refining the body was directly ruled out by him.
Bloodline Wizard, this is obviously also the easiest option for the wizard community to obtain short-term combat power.
When it comes to the path of bloodline wizards, we have to mention the most popular creature modification among wizard apprentices. All it takes is a "small" witchcraft ritual to transplant yourself with the high-energy organs of a powerful monster, so that you can have certain strange abilities.
It can be said that most wizard apprentices can't refuse such a simple and easy means of reinforcement, and as long as the conditions allow, they will transform themselves to some extent. However, this kind of thing is always easier said than done! Draining one's own vitality, risking the risk of polluting one's blood, and transplanting oneself with a useless garbage organ is definitely a thing that outweighs the loss.
What powerful monsters can wizard apprentices like Grim and others who live in the magic swamp obtain? With their strength and status, it is impossible for them to touch those truly terrifying monsters. Therefore, the apprentices were already overjoyed to be able to transplant themselves with a high-level apprentice-level monster organ.
The Hawkeye Clutha of the Three Apprentices of the Tower is said to have transplanted the eyes of a red-eyed Raven King, which gives him the ability to drive scavenging crows.
However, Grim has never been concerned about his short-sighted behavior.
The Red-Eyed Raven King!
Such a monster high-energy organ may be able to make him ascend to the sky in one step, step into the ranks of high-level apprentices, and become the best among the high-level apprentices. But at this point, the potential improvement brought by biological modification has come to an end. If he is lucky, he may be able to be promoted to a quasi-wizard in 5 years, preparing for the future attack on the official wizard. But if you're unlucky, I'm afraid I won't have anything to do with an official wizard in my life.
After all, if the bloodline is polluted, the difficulty of advancing to a wizard will also increase exponentially!
Therefore, compared to bloodline wizards, biological transformation is purely an evil path, which will only get narrower and narrower, and cut off their own way forward in disguise.
However, compared to biological modification, the path of bloodline wizards is doubly more difficult.
If you want to become a bloodline wizard, you must find yourself an ancestor creature with a strong enough bloodline source, and then obtain the power hidden in the bloodline inheritance through a large amount of blood purification.
There are a lot of obstacles to this path.
First of all, many of the known powerful bloodlines are in the hands of warlock families.
The so-called warlock family, in fact, their predecessors are usually some powerful bloodline wizards. As the descendants of powerful bloodline owners, of course, their bloodlines naturally continue the excellent genes of their ancestors. In order to maintain the continuity of the family bloodline, they refuse to intermarry with people outside the clan, and use closed circles to keep the family blood pure.
In addition to these known powerful bloodlines, other apprentices who want to follow the path of bloodline wizards can only try those unknown monster bloodlines by luck.
If the monster they inherited the bloodline was only a third-order creature itself, then under the influence of the decreasing generational factors, these bloodline inheritors would probably not even be able to reach the second-order. If you consider that the upper bloodline is not pure enough, it is dangerous to even be promoted to the first rank.
Therefore, the descendants of those powerful bloodline warlock families, if they are not strong enough, once they go out of the house, they are very likely to become the best prey in the eyes of others. Some wandering wizard apprentices don't mind capturing them, squeezing the blood essence out of their bodies, and giving themselves the power of some powerful creatures.
However, on the one hand, this requires a large amount of warlock apprentice blood, and the success rate is not high, and on the other hand, it is also a taboo for the warlock family.
With the powerful strength of these bloodline warlock families, how could they sit idly by and watch the bloodline of their own clan flow out? Even if they paid a heavy and bloody price, they would kill the culprit. Therefore, in the history of wizard development in the wizarding continent, there is no shortage of great turmoil caused by the theft of the bloodline descendants of a powerful warlock family.
Seriously, the snake-headed apprentice who broke into the magic swamp today is probably also a descendant of a certain warlock family, otherwise he would not have such distinct monster characteristics. Unfortunately, Grim didn't have a chance to get his blood.
Grim has no regrets about this.
How rich the ancestral bloodline can a descendant of a high-level apprentice-level bloodline warlock have. If you want to help Grim steadily ascend to the quasi-witch, I'm afraid that such a descendant will need at least a dozen to meet the terrifying blood needs.
This kind of difficulty is no less than asking Grim to directly challenge a giant dragon!
Moreover, according to Grim's understanding from the books, among the bloodline warlock families currently active in the middle of the wizarding continent, the highest level is only 7th. This is a huge gap of 2 levels from the 9th order wizards at the peak of the wizarding system.
As bloodline warlocks, they don't need much cultivation and knowledge accumulation, they just need to constantly purify their bloodline, so they can naturally gain power from the ancestral bloodline.
An inheritor of a 5th-order bloodline can be promoted to a rank ten times faster than others, which allows him to move forward in the first half of his life, and the scenery is infinite. Moreover, warlocks with special bloodlines can also have special abilities, and they have an advantage in fighting against the same level.
But the pinnacle of the bloodline source is also the end of their wizarding path.
After he climbed to the 5th rank with his strength and luck, he would painfully find that the path forward was completely cut off, and after his wizarding path reached the 5th level, there was no possibility of moving forward.
That's the greatest sorrow of the bloodliner!
Embarking on this path, once the bloodline is not chosen correctly, they will never have any hope of climbing to the highest peak of the wizarding system.
