His conversation with Wizard Angus lasted the entire night.
Grimm also learned about the rules of the Puppet Master competition. It could be divided into a battle royale, which was won by quantity, and a battle royale, which was won by quality.
Every Puppet Master had a limit to their spiritual power. The number of puppets they could control at a time was limited by their spiritual power, and it was impossible for them to grow infinitely. Therefore, the first battle royale was more of a test of the Puppet Master's spiritual power and control of the puppets.
The second mode was the Marionette Battle Mode, which was the favorite mode for most Marionettes.
Two Puppet Masters would send out their carefully crafted puppets, and they would fight each other head-on, just like how humans would fight in a ring. The more intricately crafted puppet, the more powerful the puppet would win.
Of course, this was a test of the Puppet Master's skill and experience. A powerful Puppet Master would always be able to give their puppets more combat power. On the other hand, it was also a test of the Puppet Master's financial strength.
Even if the puppeteer who created it was a rookie, he could easily defeat a dozen masterpieces made from ordinary Magic Gold.
According to Angus, the Gretto Family, which challenged his family this year, had been searching for all kinds of rare metal for puppets. It was said that in order to win this competition, they were secretly creating a special type of combat puppet, but it was hard to find any specific information.
After sending Angus off, Grimm immediately locked himself in his stone room and began to study the special profession of Puppet Master.
Of course, Puppet Master was just a general term. If it was further divided, it could be divided into more than a dozen different branches of Puppet Master. The things they created included golems, puppets, runes, mechanical beasts, alchemy lives, animated creations, elemental puppets, magic machines …
The differences between them might be indistinguishable in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of the puppet masters, they were all fundamentally different from each other.
Take Grimm's puppet, for example. It was very different from ordinary puppets and golems.
Under normal circumstances, when a puppet maker created a golem or a marionette, he or she would have to spend a lot of precious magical metals. They used magic-conducting metals to create the inner core of the marionette, then used magic-resistant metals to create an indestructible body for the marionette.
Coupled with humanoid joints, an excellent transmission mechanism, a hidden energy transmission pipeline, and an intricate control circuit … With all these, a qualified magic puppet could be considered to have been created.
The energy source that drove these marionettes to fight and move was the energy crystals embedded in their bodies, which were also known as magic crystals.
Therefore, compared to magic puppets, these magic puppets generally had real bodies. Puppeteer's job was to design and modify the spell formation inside the marionette so that it could be more closely integrated with the marionette. That way, it would be easier for the marionette to move such a huge lump of iron.
As for magic puppets, they were nothing more than elemental puppets.
At the beginning of the summoning, they did not have a real body, only a summoning crystal core that was engraved with many spell formations. They relied on the free elemental energy naturally absorbed by the crystal core and extracted the corresponding elemental substances from the surrounding environment. Then, they used the spell formation to control the elemental substances to form their temporary bodies.
In terms of combat power, magic puppets were definitely not as strong as golems or marionettes. However, magic puppets had an advantage over their opponents, which was that they were easy to carry around.
When not in use, magic puppets could dispel their temporary bodies and turn themselves back into a crystal the size of a pigeon egg, which could be carried around. Golems or marionettes were usually four to five meters tall and weighed more than ten tons. They could not be folded or shrunk.
No matter how powerful these marionettes were, they could not be carried around all over the world every day. Moreover, the number of magic crystals used to drive them was not a small number, not to mention the consumption during battles.
Therefore, combat golems and marionettes were usually only equipped in fixed witchcraft facilities.
Usually, they were used to patrol and prevent enemies from invading. Their work efficiency was much higher than that of wizards or wizard guards. When they were free, they could also rely on the energy pool in the witchcraft facilities to recharge. This way, they could save a lot of magic crystals.
However, Grimm had heard that some top-level marionettes could create a special spatial tool that could be used to store golems and marionettes. They were called Marionette Amulets. However, the cost of creating these Marionette Amulets was not cheaper than creating top-level marionettes. Therefore, it was difficult to promote them on a large scale. They could only be used to store those elite marionettes with exquisite bodies but powerful combat power.
Considering all these factors, Grimm still felt that magic puppets were more suitable for him than marionettes.
However, now that he had to fight against a true marionette master, he could ignore the transportation and price factors. Instead, he had to consider their combat power.
Both parties were Grade 1 wizards, and it was impossible for them to create a witchcraft that was higher than their own level. At this time, the weakness of magic puppets without a strong body would undoubtedly be exposed when they fought against the metal marionettes. Therefore, if he really wanted to fight with his opponent, avoiding a head-on confrontation was the only way to win!
Although Grimm was extremely confident in his Inferno Tyrant, considering that things were unpredictable, he felt that it was better to prepare some strategies and tactics for the Inferno Tyrant in advance. Otherwise, if he really encountered a terrifying adamantine golem in the arena, and the Inferno Tyrant was faced with a metal lump that he could not chew or touch, there was a possibility that he would fail miserably.
No matter how skilled he was, he was still afraid of a kitchen knife!
… …
A Magus' time would always be very precious!
Three days might be a long time for ordinary people, but for a Magus who was immersed in his own research, it was not even enough time to take a nap.
Three days later, a new flying ship arrived, bringing with it fifteen Magi.
Therefore, the floating warship that had gathered the required number of Magi set sail without hesitation!
The space inside the floating warship was much larger than the previous flying ship, but most of the space was reserved for a huge amount of goods. The remaining space still needed to carry some essential war wizard tools, so the living space left for the Magi was still very small.
For the Magi on the floating warship, they were the ship's passengers, and at the same time, they were also the ship's guardians.
There were only five Magi sent by the Silver Alliance on each floating warship, and most of them were only responsible for maintenance and management. If the floating warship encountered an attack from a magical creature while crossing the sea route, the Magi on the ship had the duty and responsibility to kill or expel them together.
This was something that every Magus who boarded the ship had already signed a wizard contract in advance.
If any Magus refused to contribute when needed, the Magi of the Silver Alliance had the right to expel them. No matter how powerful a Magus was, if he was chased off the ship halfway, the fate that awaited him was practically sealed!
When she understood the rules for boarding the ship, Alice muttered with dissatisfaction, "These Magi of the Silver Alliance are really too calculative. Isn't this equivalent to taking the ship's fee from the foreign Magi, and using them as free bodyguards? "
The goblin Kaby also nodded vigorously at the side, expressing his agreement.
Grimm laughed, "This is their territory, so of course everything has to follow their rules. The two of you have to be careful too. When we reach Sky City, don't say such offensive words so casually. Otherwise, even I won't be able to save you if you provoke the silver-robed enforcers! "
Magus Angus curiously observed the trio from the side.
A Magus, a Prospective Magus, and a strange green goblin!
It was hard to imagine how they had managed to get together with such a disparity in levels.
In the world of Magi, only Magi of the same status were worthy of being treated as equals. Everything else was either slaves or usable humanoid resources. It was impossible for all races and classes to interact with each other on an equal footing.
A Magus might treat a Prospective Magus kindly, and show great care and concern. This meant that the Prospective Magus was either his disciple, or that the Prospective Magus was his blood relative. Apart from these, there were no other possibilities.
As for why a Magus would speak to a Green Goblin so amiably, the only possibility was that he didn't want to scare the Green Goblin and affect his ongoing experiments.
However, the scene in front of him was clearly not within the scope of his common sense.
This newly promoted Wizard Grimm was obviously communicating with the little girl and the green goblin in a more equal manner. In the eyes of most Magi, this was a disgrace to their status.
After all, Grimm had just become a Magus, so he might not have gotten rid of his old habits and attitude. Perhaps after a period of time, he would be able to adapt to the life of a Magus and change!
Wizard Angus comforted himself like this, so he did not take the initiative to correct Wizard Grimm's' mistake '.
The cargo on the floating battleship had already been prepared. When the number of Magi had reached the required number, the Magi who had been waiting for a long time boarded the battleship one after another.
This was the first time Grimm had seen so many Magi in his life.
Even during the last Dimensional War, when the Salubo Family had sent out almost all of their forces, there were only 20-30 Magi on the battlefield. But today, these Magi were wearing all kinds of robes, leather armor, and special armors. They were all gathered in front of him and quietly boarded the floating battleship in an orderly manner.
This … The shock brought to Grimm made his mouth go dry!
When you lived in a small, isolated area, the identity of a Magus would allow you to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle far beyond that of a noble. In a banquet hall filled with feasting lights, you would be the ruler of many nobles, big or small, fighting to please. You would also be the target of many flirtatious ladies and beautiful girls.
Drinking wine, beauties, and absolute power. All of these would make you feel like you were the ruler of this world.
