He took the wooden box, pushed it gently, and opened a hidden compartment below.
Inside, a black stone lay quietly there.
Greem picked it up with his fingers and held it in front of his eyes to watch silently. On his retina, through the powerful visual scanning ability of the chip, the black stone that was originally only the size of his fingertip was continuously enlarged and enlarged...
The first thing that caught his eye was a series of strange grooves and patterns that were as fine as mosquitoes and flies. They were entangled and nested in each other, connected together with complex and abnormal rune lines, and together they formed small rune arrays. The air was floating in the air.
Once the magical elements touch the black stone, they will slowly blend into it, occasionally lighting up one or two adjacent talisman arrays.
To be able to see this, Greem relied on the powerful ability of the chip to amplify the visual image a hundred times. Without the assistance of the chip, Greem would only see the black stone shining slightly with dots of stars, which would not be so intuitive at all.
of its basic operating mechanism.
Puppet Stone is an exclusive material that is prohibited from being sold to outsiders by the Silver Alliance. It can be used to temporarily activate some puppet structures. It is also the most frequently used consumable by arcane wizards!
The puppet stone in front of you is only the size of your fingertip and can only be used to activate some small puppet structures. If you want to activate large and medium-sized puppet structures like the metal war puppet, you can only rely on the puppet heart.
Greem would not have been able to obtain this special controlled item if he had not visited the Wizard Tower of an Alliance Councilor.
"Chip, remember to take notes!" Greem ordered calmly.
"Hey, the 5th experiment file of Puppet Stone has been created... Now start dynamic data capture..."
Greem crushed the puppet stone without hesitation.
Almost instantly, a large amount of white smoke dispersed from the Puppet Stone.
These white smokes seemed to have intelligence. They did not scatter in all directions, but gathered together and circled in the air. Immediately, they discovered the existence of the wooden puppets, and then suddenly spun in the air and burrowed in.
Inside the wooden puppet.
The next second, the wooden puppet suddenly sat up on the stone platform like a suddenly resurrected life, and began to cough violently.
At the same time, the various talisman arrays that Greem had applied to the wooden puppet's body with invisible materials began to light up one after another, and emerged on the wooden puppet's yellow-brown wooden body.
Most are lit.
Of course, there are some exceptions!
The cracks on the right leg of the wooden puppet obviously destroyed the integrity of the talisman array there. With a soft crackling sound, black smoke came out of the cracks.
The activated wooden puppet climbed up from the stone platform with difficulty.
It can be seen that the severely damaged right leg makes its movements appear clumsy and slow.
I have to say that Greem’s craftsmanship in making wooden puppets is really bad!
Whether it's the wire palms of the wooden puppet, the wooden frame-covered wings, or the body fixed with iron nails, it's just like a handmade product pieced together by an immature child. It's so rough and crude that it's impossible to look straight at it.
.
But under the activation of this strange white smoke, everything seems to have been optimized!
The wooden puppet stood up with difficulty, while moving its creaking wrists, neck and shoulders, he pressed his chest with one hand and saluted respectfully: "Nice to see you, my master! The wooden puppet Billy reports to you!"
"
This is a childish voice with a hint of childishness.
Although it was not the first time that he saw a pile of "garbage" composed of wood, iron nails, iron wires, coils and pieces of cloth resurrected in front of him, and possessing rudimentary wisdom that was not inferior to ordinary humans, Greem's heart was still full of mistakes.
A weird feeling that can't be reconciled with the absurd.
This is really a strange world!
"Report your physical condition!" Greem gave the first instruction to the resurrected wooden puppet Billy.
"Uh..." Billy began to try to move various parts of his body, and even flapped the 'wings' on his back twice to verify that they were still intact.
"I'm telling you, Master, this body is really in bad shape."
"There seems to be something wrong with my heart, which makes me a little breathless." The wooden puppet lightly hammered his chest with his 'iron hand', breathing hard.
Greem's eyes focused on the chest of the wooden puppet. Through the finger-thick wooden shell, he could clearly see a magic crystal embedded in the talisman array. At this moment, the talisman array had begun to operate crazily, continuously extracting from the magic crystal.
Basic magic power is introduced into the rune circuit.
It's just that the connection between the talisman arrays seems a bit unsmooth. Some talisman arrays are lit up, and some talisman arrays are still dim. This causes the wooden puppet's movements to always have some uncoordinated lags.
"Hey, the energy control center has been scanned! A total of 37 fault points were found, including 3 technical faults, 33 faults caused by poor production technology, and 1 fault caused by material deterioration... Final evaluation: energy utilization rate 2418...
"
"If the manufacturing process is improved, how much more energy utilization will be improved?"
"Dip, after eliminating all material and process failures, the energy utilization rate is expected to reach 5733..."
"Why is it still so low? The energy utilization rate is only less than half!" Greem asked doubtfully.
"The materials are of low quality and the energy overflow is serious. If you want to continue to improve the energy utilization rate, the recommended materials for making wooden puppets are as follows: tree man core, magic iron alloy, magic mithril..."
Damn, you get what you pay for!
Everyone knows this.
But wasting these precious resources on a wooden puppet used for hand training would be such a waste!
Greem directly rejected the chip's prompt in his heart.
"Fly up and let me see!" Greem ordered.
The wooden puppet Billy immediately stood up, and the ugly 'wings' on his back began to flap rapidly. A cool breeze hit, and the wooden puppet began to float slowly.
In Greem's elemental vision, the fluorescence brightness emitted by the energy center under the wooden puppet's chest immediately increased by three levels. Some talismans with conflicting energy lines immediately erupted into dazzling fluorescence.
"Billy, stop flying immediately!" Greem saw that it was not good and gave the order hastily.
Unfortunately it's too late.
With a slight explosion, thick black smoke immediately erupted from the body of the wooden puppet Billy, and fine cracks were blown out of the chest shell.
After a burst of harsh and noisy screams, the wooden puppet's body, which had just floated to the height above Grim's head, suddenly became stiff and twisted, and then fell crookedly.
Grim reached out his hand and caught it.
The ugly wooden puppet, whose entire body had been twisted and exploded, coughed violently a few more times, and then stopped moving. Immediately, the strange white smoke overflowed from the wooden puppet's body again, slowly floating in the air.
Billy the wooden puppet is really dead!
A puppet with rudimentary intelligence was born in less than 126 seconds and came to the end of his life!
The main reason for its death was the shoddy manufacturing of the wooden puppet's body. If, I mean if, Greem had put a little more care into making this wooden puppet, he might be able to obtain a wooden puppet Billy forever.
However, such a wooden puppet with a simple body has no fighting power or any special abilities. It needs to replace the magic crystal in its body from time to time. To be honest, such a low-level puppet creature is of no use at all!
Greem is not a child who holds a doll and needs someone to accompany him. Even if such a false puppet life dies, it will not make a single ripple in his heart!
Before the white smoke dissipated, Greem took the opportunity to collect another part.
So far, he has completely mastered the basic knowledge of creating puppet creatures. The only thing that he has not yet figured out is the operating principle of these puppet stones and the composition of the white smoke.
How did they invade the interior of the puppet structure? How did they control the talisman system? More importantly, where did the primary wisdom for their birth come from?
This... is actually the core issue that Greem wants to figure out through repeated experiments!
Greem, who has had initial contact with plane wars, knows very well that the essence of plane wars is invasion and plunder!
The wizards worked hard to find the coordinates of one world after another in the depths of the vast sea of stars. For what reason? They ran there to say hello to the local indigenous people, and everyone sat down to drink coffee and talk about the world, and then talk about it.
Life ideal?
Only the weak would have such naive and idealistic assumptions!
It can attract wizards to travel hundreds of millions of miles across the vast sea of stars, risk being suppressed by plane consciousness, and endure the desperate siege of local indigenous people, just for the heart-pounding rich resources in every material plane.
And a huge number of slaves!
Once a plane is conquered, the resources and population in that plane can be taken as they wish.
If such wealth and resources are concentrated in the hands of a wizard, they can quickly grow and develop. There is no longer a need to travel thousands of miles to find a little bit of resources, and there is no need to earn magic crystals to buy materials.
Go explore the dangerous and terrifying ancient ruins.
Seriously speaking, nearly half of a wizard's life is probably spent running around collecting knowledge and resources!
And if you want to avoid this, you must have the basic strength to win a plane.
Individual strength is one kind!
The strength of the cluster is another kind!
With Greem's current strength, if he wanted to invade other material planes, he would simply be killing people!
Even in the material plane with the worst overall strength, there will still be powerful individuals with levels up to the third and fourth levels. Although their strength may not be comparable to the strong men in the wizarding world, they can be used to crush small level 1 players like Grim.
The wizard is still more than adequate.
Therefore, the goal Greem set for himself is to strive to reach level 2.
Only by reaching level 2 can Greem reach the minimum strength threshold to invade the secondary plane!
In order to assist the invasion, the one who can provide him with the greatest help is undoubtedly the generous puppet army and the demon puppet army. Only these loyal elemental creatures and puppet creatures will not have loyalty problems and can reassure Greem.
Use boldly.
Therefore, for a long time from now on, in addition to working hard to improve his own strength, Greem will also try to strengthen the combat power and quantity of the demon puppets and golems.
As for Mary, Alice and Kirby, they are the "heroes" that Grim strives to win into his camp.
The huge plane world cannot be defeated by one person with bare hands. If necessary, Greem really needs to find some good helpers for himself!
