Although Phantom looked like an enchanting beauty with a sexy body, considering her expertise in illusions, Grimm's brain automatically ignored her beauty when he looked at her.
Who knew if there was a fat and plump body hidden under her hot and sexy body!
Of course, Grimm could also use his Elemental Vision to see through the other party's appearance. However, when facing an opponent of the same rank as him, such invasive probing was undoubtedly an offense, and it was very likely to cause the other party to retaliate.
Therefore, when there were other Magi around, Grimm would purposely turn off his probing ability, only allowing the A.I. Chip to collect information passively.
In addition, one of the main reasons why Grimm defined her as a female Magus and not a Witch was that in the Magus World, a Witch was a special term used to refer to female Magi with ancient inheritances. Therefore, the Witch was definitely a female Magus, but a female Magus was not necessarily a Witch.
The Phantom Magus in front of him walked the path of an orthodox Elemental Magus, and had nothing to do with the group of Witches in the north of the Magus Continent.
There were many Magi who had an affinity with illusions, but most of them belonged to the auxiliary type, and not many were suitable for the bloody battlefield. After all, Magi nowadays would be embarrassed to go out without an Illusionary Dispelling Wand or a Concentration Necklace. Therefore, with the widespread use of these auxiliary tools, the battle power of Magi who specialized in illusions would inevitably be greatly reduced!
However, the fact that this Phantom Magus could be invited today showed that she had her own unique ability in the field of illusions. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to join this combat team.
After a simple look at the Phantom Magus, Grimm shifted most of his attention to Hyde.
Hyde was obviously walking the path of an Arcane Magus. He was more than two meters tall and burly, but there were obvious traces of mechanical modification on his body. His left forearm had been chopped off at the elbow and replaced with a bronze-colored mechanical arm. There was no skin covering on the surface, and outsiders could even see the metal chains, gears, shafts, and many other indescribable mechanical parts inside.
At a glance, this Magus Hyde's body had been modified countless times. Mechanical arms, mechanical lower limbs, metal eyes, and many strange mechanical equipment attached to the surface of the body …
If Grim were to describe him, Wizard Hyde was simply a sophisticated machine. It was just that the surface of the machine had some human flesh attached to it … a robot.
Grimm was very curious. If he opened the chest of this sea wizard, would he see warm flesh and blood, or countless crazy gears and connecting rods?
For these guys who had gone through cruel body modifications, their strength lay in their energy output far exceeding that of ordinary wizards and their dazzling strange abilities.
One had to know that most Magi's bodies were still very fragile. When they were not using witchcraft, they were just a bunch of weak fellows who had to lean on the wall to catch their breath before climbing a few floors. However, once the witchcraft was completed, they would immediately transform into omnipotent Gods that could control heaven and earth.
Mechanical Sorcerers, on the other hand, could use magical machines with magical powers to replace the fragile body organs. In this way, even if they didn't use witchcraft, their bodies would have some natural witchcraft effects, and it would be eternal.
Therefore, the mechanical Magi paid the price of a human's appearance and enjoyment, but in exchange, they were abnormally strong and strange!
It was said that a large number of Arcane Sorcerers had gathered in the Sky City on the west coast of the Wizard Continent, and most of them were Mechanical Sorcerers. The Sky City, which was a Wizard city floating ten thousand meters above the ground, represented the highest achievement of magical machines.
Although Grim wanted to know more about this Wizard Hyde, there was a slight mechanical buzzing sound, and a strange wave appeared around Hyde's body, preventing him from probing further.
Grim smiled awkwardly and nodded to Hyde and the puppet. He then walked to the side and closed his eyes to wait.
He did not keep them waiting for long.
After a while, thunder roared in the sky, and lightning flashed. The Thunderbird Wizard had also rushed back. Behind him were Bloody Mary and another mysterious Magus hidden in a black robe.
Seeing that all the people he invited had arrived, Wizard Hyde cleared his throat and began to introduce with a strange metallic voice, "Everyone, the reason why I called you all here today is because of that hateful Radiant Knight. If we let them break out of the encirclement safely, then the price we've paid before will be in vain! "
Faced with such an old-fashioned opening, all the Wizards chose to remain silent.
Although the battle was disadvantageous, it was very likely that the family's expansion of the plane would fail. Once everyone was expelled from the plane by the local natives, the resources and rewards promised by the family would be gone. However, if the Wizards here were forced into the battlefield as cannon fodder, they would only work and not put in any effort. They would prioritize their own lives first.
Therefore, Wizard Hyde, who was familiar with the nature of Wizards, immediately changed the topic.
"I'm going to launch a sneak attack on that Radiant Knight. If everyone here is willing to participate, then stay behind and continue the discussion. If anyone is not willing to participate, you can leave now! The only thing I can guarantee is that once the plan succeeds, everyone will be able to get the things they want the most! "
Finally, there was a slight change in the expressions on the Wizards' faces.
As Wizards, they adhered to the principle of fair exchange of benefits. If there was no benefit, or if it was too dangerous, they would instinctively choose to avoid it. Launching a sneak attack on a rank 2 Knight was definitely a dangerous mission that exceeded their capabilities!
However … If they could get the resources and knowledge they wanted the most, taking some risks seemed to be acceptable.
Everyone's eyes flashed slightly, as if they were silently calculating something.
Wizard Hyde looked around with his mechanical eyes and waited for a moment. Seeing that no one left, he finally relaxed a little. Everyone here was a powerful Wizard that he had carefully selected. Every one of them had a strange witchcraft ability that others would not be able to achieve.
Therefore, if any of them left, it would have a big or small impact on his plan. If necessary, he would have to lower the threshold of his selection and find a replacement from the remaining Wizards.
"Since no one left voluntarily, that means everyone is willing to participate in this plan. Alright, then let's discuss each other's requirements! "
No Wizard was willing to make such a private matter public, so what followed next was a one-on-one discussion between Wizard Hyde and each participant. Hyde's lips moved slightly, but no sound could be heard. It was obvious that he was secretly talking to a Wizard.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Grimm finally heard a prompt from the A.I. Chip in his mind.
"A special spiritual force channel has been detected. Initiator: Wizard Hyde. Requesting Host's instructions to connect?"
"Connect!"
In the next second, Wizard Hyde's peculiar metallic voice sounded in Grimm's mind.
"Hello, Wizard Grimm. Time is of the essence, so let's get straight to the point. If I invite you to participate in this dangerous hunt, what do you want? "
"......" Grimm hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "I want to obtain the part of the knowledge about the fusion of rune energy and life energy!"
"Uh … This request is a little difficult! After all, the complete knowledge about the fusion of energy could only be grasped by the huge force behind them. Even if we killed them and obtained some incomplete knowledge about the runes, it would still be extremely difficult for us to deduce the next part of the fusion of energy … "
"If I'm not wrong, Lord Forgan captured a Radiant Knight alive last time. I'm sure we can get a lot of their internal secrets from his brain …"
Wizard Hyde, who was far away, twitched his body in astonishment. His red mechanical eyes carefully sized up Grimm again.
"I have no right to divulge any information about the camp …"
"If I can't directly obtain the knowledge about the fusion of energy, I would also like to know how to obtain it. In other words, I want to know who else in the Knight's continent has the complete knowledge about the fusion of energy. Of course, it'd be best if it's someone I can deal with! "
"You really are a farsighted Magus! If I'm not wrong, other than the rare resources in this plane, the most valuable thing is the knowledge about runes. The knowledge about the fusion of energy that you asked for, Lord Sarubo has already defined it as a rank 3 strategic resource. It will never appear in your hands. As for the mortals who have this knowledge, although they are not under our control, you will still need to hunt for them yourself. I can only provide a list of the corresponding members! "
"That's enough! I accept this condition. "
In the next second, a contract formed from the power of the Will appeared in Grimm's mind.
The A.I. Chip dutifully scanned the contract in detail. After eliminating the language logic, magic patterns, and loopholes in the contract, it sent the detailed contract to Grimm. Grimm gave it a quick glance. It was exactly the same as what he had just discussed. Only then did he carefully leave his spell imprint on the contract.
After another half an hour, Wizard Hyde signed the contract with the rest of the Wizards. With the restriction of the contract, everyone's attitude became a lot friendlier.
In order to make it easier for them to coordinate with each other, Wizard Hyde let everyone briefly introduce their own witchcraft abilities. To encourage everyone to speak, Wizard Hyde was the first to speak.
"Hyde, mechanical Wizard. Expert in close combat in a small area. His spells include energy light blades and sharp awls …"
The second one to speak was Razer.
"Thunderbird, elemental Wizard. Expert in lightning spells. Currently, he has mastered Cloud Storm, Lightning Bombardment, and Lightning Teleportation …"
"Marionette, bloodline Wizard. Expert in transforming plants. Currently, he has mastered Puppet Thread and Wood Substitute …"
"Demonic Worm, bloodline Wizard. Expert in transforming insects. Currently, he has mastered Insect Repelling, Split Attack, and Damage Sharing …"
"Phantom, elemental Wizard. Expert in illusion spells. Currently, he has mastered Dream Environment and Dream Dissociation …"
"Fire Demon, elemental Wizard. Expert in fire spells. Currently, he has mastered Flame Demon Transformation and Flame Boundary …"
"Blood Lady, bloodline Wizard. Expert in blood spells. Currently, he has mastered Bat Demon Transformation and Blood Sucking Attack …"
"Evil Shadow, elemental Wizard. Expert in curse spells …"
Of course, no one would reveal their trump cards in a situation like this. Therefore, the introductions were very vague. However, since Wizard Hyde had gathered everyone together, he must have more or less understood everyone's situation.
