The crystal ball dimmed and Julni disappeared from the screen after he stopped the transfer of magic power.
Grimm's lips curled into a smile. He activated his magic and contacted another Demon-Hunter through the crystal ball. After a few breaths, the figure of the Mechanical Armor Core Victor appeared on Grimm's crystal ball.
"Hmm? Grimm, is it about the Mechanical Armor Core? "Victor asked after seeing Grimm's face on the crystal ball.
Grimm nodded.
Just as he was about to say something, the Myna flapped its wings and flew to Grimm's shoulder. It pointed its claw at Victor and laughed sinisterly. "Caw caw! That's right, it's about the Mechanical Armor Core. The noble, great, and wise Young Master Grimm doesn't like to waste time waiting for people. So, if you know what's good for you, you'd better hurry up and come over here! Oh, and bring some nuts along with you … Ahhh! "
Grimm tossed the Myna into the Dimensional Gap and turned to the crystal ball's screen. "Erm … that's it then. I still have something to do." Victor was stunned by Grimm's action.
"Ah? Okay, okay. "
Victor closed the crystal ball, and Grimm's crystal ball once again fell into darkness.
There was a distortion in space, and the Myna appeared on Grimm's shoulder. It rubbed its head against Grimm's ear with a fake aggrieved expression. "Master, I'm doing this for …"
Grimm ignored the Myna. After all these years, Grimm had learned all of the Myna's tricks. He glanced at the Myna and said, "Go get Gnaw to prepare some fruits and drinks. Come over when the Mechanical Armor Core is being auctioned off. If you can squeeze some more profit out of the value of that ancient mecha core, I'll give you a bonus. "
Grimm knew that he was not good at negotiating and bargaining, but the Myna was different.
Moreover, it was the Myna that explained the true value and history of the Mechanical Armor Core to Grimm.
"Bonus?!"
The Myna's eyes widened. Its feathers seemed to be trembling with excitement. It asked with interest, "How do you split it? Fifty-fifty? "
Grimm turned his head and looked at Little Myna quietly. He did not say a word. The atmosphere was exceptionally cold. The Myna's excited expression calmed down a little. Its wings circled each other nervously and said stiffly, "Uh … Master, if it's you, a forty-sixty split is not unacceptable."
Grimm still did not speak. He just looked at the Myna without blinking.
"Oh, my god!"
The Myna covered its head with its wings and kept sneaking glances at Grimm. It saw that Grimm had no intention of compromising and was only staring at it with a frightening gaze. After a few breaths, the Myna finally made up its mind and wailed, "Alright, alright. For the sake of Master and Young Master, I, Lord Myna … Oh no, Little Eight, I'll give you a thirty-seventy split. But even for Young Master Grimm … this is the only time!"
However, Grimm was still unmoved. He stared at the Myna calmly. The atmosphere was eerily quiet.
The man and the bird stared at each other blankly.
The Myna pointed at Grimm with one wing and said with a trembling voice, "Master, if it's a twenty-eighty split, I swear on the honor of the great Steel Emblem Myna that I will never agree …"
"Two-eighty? Swear on the honor of the great Steel Emblem Myna? Uh, you're thinking too much. Actually, what I meant was … a ninety split. You take one and I take nine. " Grimm said as if it was a matter of course. Ignoring the petrified Myna on his shoulder, Grimm waved his hand and took out a small metal ball from the Dimensional Gap. He then walked into the laboratory.
It had been more than thirty years since Grimm became an official sorcerer. Julni had just become an official sorcerer with the help of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings, which was later than Grimm had expected.
However, this was also reasonable.
The higher the intelligence of a sorcerer-apprentice, the higher the possibility of becoming an official sorcerer. Therefore, the percentage of sorcerer-apprentices who were qualified to become Demon Hunters was extremely high. With the help of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings, although it was not a hundred percent chance, at least ninety out of a hundred sorcerer-apprentices had a chance of becoming an official sorcerer.
However, uncertainty was uncertainty. Even if the so-called probability was extremely high, sorcerer-apprentices could not guarantee that they would not be one of those unlucky sorcerer-apprentices.
Moreover, compared to the Peak sorcerer-apprentices who could immediately become an official sorcerer after obtaining the World-Core, the psychological torture of becoming an official sorcerer in the Holy Tower of Seven Rings was simply unimaginable.
Perhaps …
If those sorcerer-apprentices who entered the Holy Tower of Seven Rings did not become an official sorcerer, it was unlikely that they would ever come out again.
…
Without mechanical blood, although Grimm could not pilot the Mech in battle, he could still rely on external means to fight.
After filling a bottle of cheap mechanical blood bought from the free market with magic, Grimm dripped a few drops on the Mech Core.
Click, click, click!
After a series of mechanical metal rubbing sounds, the surface of the metal ball, which was only a few centimeters in diameter, actually began to squirm irregularly, like a constantly throbbing spiky ball. In a sudden surge of energy ripples, an ultra-thin all-around sealed metal armor with indescribable ductility completely surrounded Grimm.
And just a moment later, a metal armor perfectly covered Grimm's body.
Grimm used his spiritual force to carefully feel the comprehensive functions of this Mechanical Heart left behind by the ancient sorcerers.
On his left arm was a miniature disintegrator cannon with a rough accumulation of energy. Depending on the charging time, the degree of attack ranged from 230 to 680 degrees. However, if he wanted to reach the highest degree of attack, he might need to charge energy for more than an hourglass.
The Sonic Wave Resonance Greatsword on his right arm had an attack degree of 250 to 310 degrees against material objects, and 120 to 130 degrees against energy objects.
The defensive capability of the chest and back armor reached 150 to 210 degrees, and the defensive capability of the other parts was 70 to 110 degrees.
Both of his feet stored the one-time Lightning Teleportation ability, which could provide a one-time teleportation of 200 meters for the Mech operator. The magical wave on his back …
The Rainbow Light Camouflage ability, which could achieve visual concealment in places with natural light.
And the three auxiliary abilities of constant temperature, water curtain luster, and smell sealing?
Hmm?
No …
There was also a breathing filtration system on the mask. Could this be the auxiliary design that the ancient sorcerers provided for the human respiratory system before the Sorcerer's Barrier was developed?
Although with the control of the Force of Nature of official sorcerers, even if they breathed in the air of some foreign world with different laws of composition, they would not die from poisoning, but long-term discomfort was inevitable.
There was indeed a huge difference between ancient and modern Mechs.
Modern Mechs had a lot fewer functions. They focused more on improving the sorcerer's attack and defense abilities, as well as supporting enhancement of physique and strength. The other functions were replaced by the Sorcerer's Barrier.
As such, it was not unreasonable for Little Eight to estimate that it was worth ten Sorcerer Essences, which was the same value as a low-grade Demon-Hunting equipment.
After the various performance tests, Grimm kept the activated ancient Mech back into the Mech Core. He took out a book called "The Lightning Purification Ability's Elemental Activation and Restraint Principle" and sat quietly in the hall, patiently eating plate after plate of fruit platters that Gnaw was carrying.
After a moment, an imprint signal flowed through Grimm's crystal ball.
Little Eight spread her wings and flew to Grimm's shoulder, saying excitedly, "It's coming, it's coming. I'm guessing that Julni will be here first."
Grimm collected the magic books and connected them to the crystal ball. As expected, the old Julni was standing in front of the flower garden fence of his Demon-Hunter castle.
"You guessed right."
After saying so, Grimm got up and opened the castle gate with a creak. He looked at Julni who was outside the flower garden across the lawn.
Moving slowly, after opening the door of the flower garden, Grimm performed a simple sorcerer's etiquette and said calmly, "Congratulations on becoming an official sorcerer."
Julni looked at Grimm from head to toe and said calmly, "I didn't expect you to choose to use mental strength to nourish your body. In this case, when you become a Stigmata Sorcerer and build a Sorcerer Tower, the magic power increase you will receive will be relatively lower. But it's also true, during the regional academy war, your physique was surprisingly strong. Compared to a pure Elemental Sorcerer, an Elemental Surge Anatomy Refinery Sorcerer might be more suitable for you. "
Grimm just nodded and did not say much.
Julni walked on the lawn of the castle's courtyard. Just as Grimm was about to bring her into the Demon-Hunter castle, a figure quickly descended from the sky. Grimm looked back and said lightly, "Hmm, so fast?"
After saying so, Grimm turned to Julni beside him and said, "This is an acquaintance of mine, Victor. He is also interested in the Ancient Mech Core. With Victor here, we can proceed with the transaction regarding the ownership of the Ancient Mech Core. "
Julni's expression changed slightly. She looked at Grimm and slowly asked, "I'm not the only one here to trade for the Ancient Mech Core?"
Grimm said matter-of-factly, "Of course. Compared to modern mechs, the Ancient Mech Core may have many shortcomings, but for some creatures without Sorcerer's Barriers, because of its amazing ductility, its value is generally higher than that of modern mechs of the same level. "
Grimm already knew that the reason why Julni was so interested in this Ancient Mech Core was most likely because it was not for her, but for her pair of magical fairies.
Victor greeted Julni politely, as if he had already expected that there would be someone else. The eyes under the cloak quietly looked at Grimm.
Nodding, Grimm signaled Julni and Victor to enter the room.
