The experiment went very smoothly.
It was so smooth that it far exceeded Grimm's expectations.
When Torrey staggered out of the secret room with a stack of parchments, apart from his pale face and dazed expression, he did not seem to have suffered any injuries.
Grimm took out the three books he had promised and sent him away. He then began to examine the parchments in detail.
As expected, two out of the ten parchments that were supposed to have runes drawn on them were completely blank. Torrey did not seem to notice this at all.
Grimm pondered for a moment. First, he collected the eight verified runes and tried them out one by one. He successfully obtained eight completely new runes that had never appeared in the Magus rune system before.
With these eight runes, tonight's experiment was not a complete failure. At the very least, he had gained something, right?
However, Grimm was extremely curious about the two runes that had disappeared for no reason. He vaguely felt that the direction of his research had gone astray.
To be honest, the new runes that the A.I. Chip had successfully derived were all auxiliary runes. Not a single one of the key runes that played a leading role in the fusion of rune energy had been successfully derived. It was as if … These runes were hiding some deep mysteries that he did not understand.
What were runes?
In the end, they were just a manifestation of the laws of the plane!
The earliest records of the origin of runes originated from the research of magic runes. Although some powerful monsters did not know any knowledge or principles, they could successfully use extraordinary powers. On their bodies, magic runes would naturally form.
Magi were originally a group of mortals. It was only when they were fighting against the monsters that they noticed the existence of magic runes and began to secretly learn them. First, they used the method of copying these magic runes onto their bodies, giving them special extraordinary powers.
After tasting the benefits, Magi continuously collected magic runes, accumulated them, and began to simplify and modify them. Hence, after tens of thousands of years of fumbling in the dark, they created the Magus Runes of today, which indirectly led to the development of the Magi community.
In all seriousness, the study of runes was the one that was closest to the origin of the laws of the plane!
As for the runes that came from the Knight's Plane, the core runes that occupied a dominant position couldn't be analyzed for a long time. Even simple writing on them couldn't be achieved. This was enough to expose that the core rune's production must have a secret that he was not aware of.
What would that be?
A group of inferior natives from a secondary plane who hadn't even established a complete casting system, how much advanced rune knowledge could they have researched?!
Wait a minute …
Grim made a sudden move.
It seemed that the Knight's Plane wasn't just filled with low-level creatures. There were also some high-level creatures from the outside, such as green dragons.
Grim's eyes lit up. He felt like he had discovered something.
He had brought back a large number of rare materials and historical records from the Crafting Camp of the Kingdom of Knights. However, he had focused all his attention on the content related to runes and had never paid attention to the history of the formation of the Kingdom of Knights.
Now that he had discovered his oversight, Grim immediately corrected himself and spent the entire night combing through the so-called history of the Kingdom of Knights.
As expected, in the history of the Kingdom of Knights, Grim discovered some secrets hidden behind the history.
The appearance of the Demon-Hunter Knight was something that happened after the green dragons became the protectors of the Kingdom of Knights. High-ranked Demon-Hunter Knights also seemed to have some sort of relationship with the dragons.
This gave Grim sufficient reason to suspect that the origin of these runes was not the natives of the Knight's Plane, but the dragons from the Dragon's Plane.
Suddenly understanding this, Grim immediately used his authority as a Magus to move all the books and information about the dragons back to his residence. Although it was tiring to study day and night, it also helped him to greatly supplement the database related to the Giant Dragons.
Magi naturally had a thorough understanding of the dragons as they were a powerful race that ran amok in various material planes. Hence, after adding in this information, the A.I. Chip's analysis of the runes from the other world proceeded abnormally smoothly.
Almost every day, the A.I. Chip would be able to derive new runes from these runes. Some of these runes had value, while others were completely useless. The specific verification work was left to Tolle.
As expected of a high-ranked acolyte with an affinity for illusions, Tolle had an extraordinary talent in terms of resistance to illusions. Although the fragmented illusions of the runes often caused him to feel dizzy, and there were even a few times when his consciousness was almost sucked into the illusions, he managed to break through them one by one.
The large number of books and many free resources that Grim had provided allowed Tolle to avoid the pain of running around to find resources. He could finally conduct his own research in the Magus Tower with peace of mind. However, he had to pay the price of four to five new runes every day!
Since he was Wizard Grimm's collaborator, he could see Grimm almost every day, so he was no longer limited by the number of questions he could ask. In terms of treatment, Tolle's status was almost equal to that of a Magus' disciple.
This seemed to be the main reason why he was willing to take the risk to stay!
As for Alice, she quickly became the leader of the acolytes under Grim. After she led them to fight a few battles with other acolytes, she quickly became the tyrant of the Magus Tower in Ferdinand City.
With Alice's terrifying innate talent in space, only official Magi could suppress her. Other acolytes, even powerful Quasi Magi, would find it difficult to suppress her. Alice, on the other hand, was undoubtedly one of the strongest Quasi Magi.
Kabi, who had relied on Grim's protection to successfully become a goblin merchant, became more and more close to Grim when the name of the fire demon became more and more famous.
The Magus World was also a world where the strong preyed on the weak!
Most businesses, such as trading companies and secret spell huts, were controlled by Magus families and factions of all sizes. As a lone outsider, Kabi wanted to make a living in their bowls, so he would naturally be bullied and ostracized.
Therefore, Kabi's goblin shop only dared to operate in Ferdinand City. Once he stepped out of this area, his little business and tricks would be swallowed up by others in the same industry.
And now, as Grimm's status in the Salubo Family rose day by day, Kabi began to curry favor with Alice and Grimm's apprentices.
Grimm's apprentices enjoyed the cheap resources provided by Kirby, and Kirby had indirectly gathered a large number of bodyguards and thugs for himself. Thus, both sides mutually benefited from each other and formed a small circle, a small group that benefited from each other.
However, Grim didn't care about all of this and allowed them to combine and grow stronger. As for himself, he focused all of his attention on the process of analyzing and verifying the runes.
After two months, Grimm had successfully deciphered 6 of the 28 new runes. It sounded like a small number, but it was enough for him to expand his knowledge of rune energy fusion to the level of a Grade 2 Radiant Knight.
This also indicated that Grim had completely grasped the mysteries of the runes of a Grade 2 Radiant Knight. He could now create a powerful Rune Knight himself.
However, the strength of a Grade 2 Radiant Knight lay in their own bodies. The rune energy system only played a supporting role. Therefore, even if Grim could create a Grade 2 Rune Equipment, he would not be able to unleash powerful attacks without sufficient strength to activate it.
However, it seemed that Grimm had quite a number of Grade 2 resources in his possession!
The Grade 2 Molten Giant's Core from the Lava Sea, the Grade 2 Balrog's Heart from Lord Salubo, and the remains of a Radiant Knight killed in the Knight Plane. It was a pity that Grim was not a professional Necromancer. Otherwise, he would be able to create some powerful Undead with ease.
With this knowledge of runes, Grim became busier and busier.
The resources he purchased from Kabi were already in place, and the processing of the Balrog's Heart was progressing quickly. There were still 4 Magi Elemental Crystal Cores and a Grade 2 Molten Giant's Core waiting for him to process them one by one. Upgrading his Balrog Transformation Tattoo with his new knowledge of runes was also a top priority.
Even when he had free time, Grim still had to design and create a Rune Equipment that suited his abilities and talents.
With all these things, Grim's time was packed to the brim. He could not find any free time at all!
Unfortunately, the 4 Magi Elemental Crystal Cores he used for practice failed twice. In the end, Grim only obtained two Magic Kryptonite Cores. One was the Rotting Ones, and the other was the Roaring Ones.
The Rotting Ones were Magi Kryptonites made from Toxic Elemental Crystal Cores. They looked like a slime monster covered in sticky green liquid. They had special abilities such as acid sputtering, poisonous aura, and splitting and multiplying.
The acid they spat out was extremely corrosive and poisonous, and could effectively erode the opponent's defenses. Its ability to divide and multiply allowed it to split itself into two smaller Rotted Ones when it suffered enough damage, thus forming a more ferocious firepower.
Currently, the Rotting Ones could split and multiply three times!
This meant that once he released the Rotting Ones, after a long battle, Grim would be able to obtain 8 Magi Firepower Turrets.
As for the Roarers, which were made from the Earth Elemental Crystal Core, it looked like a five-meter-tall giant stone man. Its special abilities included Earth Tremor, Boulder Throw, Rock Armor, etc.
To be honest, in order to maximize the destructive power of his fire innate talent, Grim especially liked these Kryptonites with strong defenses.
