Grimm walked into his room on the balloon airship.
The room wasn't large, only fifteen square meters. Apart from a bed and a simple table, there was also a toilet with a shower function.
"We'll arrive at Moon Lake in about two days." The sorcerer-apprentice responsible for piloting the balloon airship said in a deep and respectful voice while staring at the halo above Grimm's head with envy.
"Yes." Grimm casually agreed.
Creak …
After the sorcerer-apprentice left the room, Grimm casually swept his eyes over the room's layout and then took off the Ashen Mask. He also took off the Three Moist Armor and the gray sorcerer's robe covering it. Naked, he walked into the bathroom, steam rising from it filling the air.
The reason why he first went to Moon Lake was because Peranos wanted to meet a friend on the way. Moreover, it seemed like he hadn't seen him for many years.
Later.
After finishing his bath, Grimm dressed neatly and opened the room's window, letting the warm sunlight shine into the room. Sitting in front of the table and enjoying the gentle sunlight, Grimm simply dried his somewhat damp long golden hair. After sensing the specific time, he took out two severed branches and a handwritten notebook.
Following the lightning pattern on the severed branch that was like a mirror-like cross-section, Grimm's eyes faintly brightened. Then, as if nothing had happened, he put away the severed branch and looked at the handwritten notebook.
This handwritten notebook currently recorded some of Grimm's insights regarding the "Destructive Characteristics of the Fire Blast Spell." Among them were some of the original work's conjectures regarding the characteristics of destructive energy, as well as some of Grimm's self-awareness after using the Fire Blast Spell.
First of all, destructive energy couldn't be collected using any known substance, energy, or even an energy balanced seal system.
Secondly, destructive energy would only have an extremely intense energy reaction for a split second. Then, it would automatically be erased by the world's rules. Therefore, it was impossible to use ordinary sensory organs to observe it in accordance with conventional elemental testing methods in a traditional laboratory.
Furthermore, the destructive energy would completely annihilate any mental power waveband that attempted to approach it. It was like a strange lifeform that could devour anything, including light. The moment it was born, it would completely devour itself.
Finally, the Fire Blast Spell was only the most basic use of Destructive Energy. According to the 《Destructive Characteristics of the Fire Blast Spell》, the clash between the fire and water elements, although it could produce a reaction of Destructive Energy, it was only a natural reaction of Destructive Energy to strengthen the fire element's attack attribute. The developed spell only leaned towards the elemental damage of the fire element, and not Destructive damage. Therefore, Grimm's Body of Flame was able to increase the power of the Fire Blast Spell.
It seemed like …
According to the [Fire Blast Spell's Annihilation Characteristics], the ancient wizards had already developed an advanced spell that was closer to the Annihilation characteristic. The principle of this spell was to make the fire and water elements more stable, thus producing a purer and more thorough Annihilation energy.
However!
No matter how hard the ancient wizards tried, the Annihilation force developed by this type of opposing energy was a natural form of Annihilation force. The wizards simply could not form self-control.
(Note: The so-called wizard's self-control of energy is the change of the element's form. It can be understood as the Fireball, Firebird, and Firebat witchcraft form is constantly approaching the perfect control of the elements. The natural form is the primitive flame energy, referring to the energy application mode of the creatures of the other world.)
For a moment, Grimm fell into a state of indecision.
How should he decide the direction of the experiment?
Should he follow in the footsteps of the ancient wizards and continuously use the purer and more stable water and fire elements to create an uncontrollable Annihilation Spell, forming an upgraded version of the Fire Blast Spell? Or should he experiment and observe the characteristics of the Annihilation energy?
It was no wonder that Grimm was in a dilemma.
If Grimm had followed the path of the Ancient Sorcerers, this seemingly powerful Fire Blast Sorcery, in the eyes of a high-level sorcerer, was nothing more than a high-level ingenious use of shallow water and fire elemental energy. As for the Destructive Force, a high-level sublimation energy, because it could not be controlled, it could not achieve the deeper level of the Sorcerer's leverage power to pry the law.
(Explanation: The Annihilation force itself is a new type of high-level energy obtained by prying the water and fire elements into the leverage power. It is the high-level evolution of the wizard's application of the leverage power. If one can control the Annihilation force on this basis, it is equivalent to carrying out the multiplication rule of the leverage power on the basis of this high-level energy. If one attempts to obtain a purer and uncontrollable Annihilation force to develop, it is to carry out the addition rule on the basis of this high-level energy. It involves some mathematical logical thinking. Some friends who are not very good at mathematical logical thinking may need to think more.)
In general, when one reaches the realm of the high-level wizards' knowledge and understanding, the upgraded version of the ancient wizard's Fire Blast Spell would gradually become outdated because of the low-end application of the leverage power.
In other words, if Glenn chose to continue on the path of ancient sorcerers' research, it was very likely that he would gradually transform from an outstanding top-notch sorcerer-apprentice to a mediocre high-level sorcerer.
This was something that Grimm absolutely would not allow to happen!
But …
In this case, Grimm only had two choices left. One was to develop a deeper level of the Annihilation force and control it. The other was to give up the in-depth research of the Annihilation force and attempt to conduct in-depth research from the individual fire element, water element, or the power of space.
However, if he really gave up the research of the Annihilation force and turned to the in-depth research of his own innate talent, because of the general nature of the basic elements, Grimm could not guarantee that he would be able to gain something and walk a unique path that belonged to him.
And if he could not walk a unique path that belonged to him, then Grimm would still have no fate to become a powerful top-notch Magus. At most, Grimm could only rely on the exclusive knowledge he had gained during his time as a wizard apprentice to become a Magus with a unique characteristic.
However, with the increase in the level of life, the Life Code knowledge would gradually become low-end, and Grimm's "unique characteristic" would also become more and more mediocre.
Hm?
That's right! How could he forget his own innate talent?
According to what Ice Age Millie had said during the Holy Tower qualification battle, his innate talent should be to communicate with dimensional gaps, which was the best carrier of the extremely high-grade Magus knowledge space-time sealing spell. Perhaps, after advancing to an official Magus, he could try to start with his own innate talent?
However …
At that time, Millie had said that this kind of innate talent was useless for low-ranked Magi and was one of the strongest innate talents for high-ranked Magi. In this case, if he wanted to walk this path from a low-ranked Magus, it would be even more difficult, so much so that … there was no hope.
"Forget it!"
Grimm put away the handbook and shook his head. "The specific path should wait until after advancing to an official Magus. If the innate talent to communicate with dimensional gaps really cannot be researched as a low-ranked Magus, then I'll put all my effort into researching the characteristics of destructive energy! Of course … this kind of "stupid" behavior may cause me to be unable to make progress in elemental magic for a long time after advancing to an official Magus. Some of the advantages I had as a wizard apprentice will gradually disappear when I become an official Magus. However, fortunately, I still have the powerful characteristics of my own cells' double evolution. If I can keep up with the research of mixed poison refinement and transform my spiritual force after advancing to an official Magus, I shouldn't be too weak in a short period of time. "
(At this time, Grimm already had the "two years" of foresight at the Black Isotta Academy. He already knew that if he planned to put all his effort into researching destructive energy, elemental magic would be weaker for a period of time in the future. Therefore, in order to not lose his life because of his "stupidity" during this period of weakness, he decided to use the trump card of a Refinement Magus to replace the Ashen Mask during the newcomer's trial.)
"That's right, since I only need to preserve my life, and after advancing to an official Magus, I'll have more than a hundred years of peaceful time to meditate on my spiritual force. Perhaps I should consider increasing my resistance to regular elements? If that's the case, I should also pay attention to the high-grade ingredients over at the Holy Tower … "Grimm muttered to himself as he planned his own plan.
Later.
* Hiss … *
Grimm sucked in a breath of cold air and frowned. He picked up a pen and casually drew on a piece of white paper. "If that's the case, buying high-grade ingredients will require a large sum of magic stones or a long-term stable income. Now that I've tasted so many delicacies that belong to wizards, if I want to increase the passive elemental resistance to the highest level, the magic stones consumed will definitely not be comparable to what I used during my apprenticeship period. "
Should he spend a lot of time trying to invent a product like the "Love Vial" that could use knowledge flexibly, or should he use up the sorcerer essence obtained from consuming the fragment of the world-core?
Thump, thump, thump!
Just as Grimm was letting his imagination run wild, the room's wooden door suddenly sounded. After Grimm got up and opened the wooden door, he was slightly startled. The person who came was unexpectedly that green-eyed female Magus apprentice from the 19th District Magus Academy, Julni.
Hm? What did she come for?
Somewhat puzzled, but out of basic Magus etiquette, Grimm still moved aside, letting the other enter the room.
"Humph, is this your true appearance? I didn't expect you to be so handsome," the green-eyed female Magus said as she sat opposite Grimm, constantly sizing up Grimm.
Grimm wasn't very used to being stared at like this by others, somewhat regretting not wearing the Ashen Mask. His brows wrinkled as he indifferently said, "What business do you have with me?"
Julni saw Grimm's unhappy appearance and curled her lips. Her two eyes became two strange whirlpools, and two creatures like little bees, similar to the fairies in fairy tales, appeared.
"Hee hee, sister Julni." One of the fairies quickly flapped the transparent wings on its back and laughed.
"Eh? He's … Ah! The mechanical armor device that I once sensed, he's a Dark Magus apprentice in disguise during the district war. "The other fairy pointed at Grimm in alarm and shouted.
Julni shrugged her shoulders. After placating the two fairies, she faced Grimm and indifferently said, "This time, I came for the mechanical armor core on your body. No matter how I look at you, you don't look like a Magus apprentice walking the path of mechanics, right? As for the price I'll pay, I guarantee you'll be satisfied. It's a good thing that you Dark Magi can absolutely use. "
Mechanical armor core?
What was this thing …
Suddenly, Grimm's heart stirred. It couldn't be that he had never been able to research the metal ball, right?
(In the underground ruins of the secret plane of the Black Iso Tower, Grimm had picked up a metal ball at the end. It was similar to the metal ball that Machinery Heart Victor had researched during the first-year trial.)
He was slightly pleasantly surprised. This small metal ball was actually a mechanical armor core that could transform into a mechanical armor?
Although Grimm hadn't delved into mechanics and didn't have mechanical blood, it was impossible for him to operate a mechanical armor. However, before understanding the specific value of this mechanical armor core, Grimm naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing as trading it away.
Thus, Grimm's mind was refreshed. He smiled and said, "That's right, I do have a mechanical armor core, but I won't trade it with you right now."
Julni curled her lips and said, "You still don't know the price I'm willing to pay. Hmph, forget it. Give me your crystal ball imprint. I'll contact you when we reach the Holy Tower of Seven Rings. It's a bit inconvenient now that Master is here. "
A moment later, after Julni left Grimm's room, Grimm somewhat excitedly took out the metal ball called the mechanical armor core and carefully studied it. This metal ball's certain ductile and spatial properties had long since let Grimm know that this was a good thing. At the very least, it was worth a complete version of the Worker Ant Puppet, or even a lot more.
