Alice reached out her hand with a trembling hand.
There seemed to be a strange light source in her stomach that was constantly emitting a strange silver energy. It was this silver energy that seeped into her skin, flesh, bones, and tendons, dying everything silver.
Through her translucent belly, Alice could clearly see her intestines and stomach wriggling slowly. She could also see her strangely shaped liver, gallbladder, and some other strange organs that she could not name. Under the influence of the mysterious energy, these organs became somewhat transparent. Even the blood vessels and the blood flowing in the membrane could be seen clearly.
Alice's hand gently fell on her belly, but she suddenly shuddered.
Her right hand went straight into her abdomen as if there was nothing there, but she could not feel anything.
Her belly, her innards, her flesh … Everything could be seen, but not touched. It was as if … as if they and this body were in two different spaces.
"What … What happened to me?" Alice's face was pale as she looked up at Grim and stammered.
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question?" Grim frowned, "After all, the power of space is your forte …"
It had to be said that the knowledge of time and space was too little.
Therefore, Grim could only conclude that Alice was suffering from the backlash of the power of space in the Void Stone, but it was difficult to describe and explain the deeper layer of the mechanism.
Alice quickly calmed down and asked the most important question, "What will happen if I'm completely infected by this power of space?"
"According to my judgment, you'll most likely be infected into some kind of void creature!"
"Then we have to stop the process of fusion. I'll use a spell to take out the Void Stone! "
"Alice, don't be hasty. I've checked carefully for you just now. The fusion between you and the Void Stone is not necessarily a bad thing. With your strength, under normal circumstances, you'll need about three to five years to advance to become a Magus. However, if you make good use of this fusion, you might not even need to wait. You can consider advancing in the near future! "
"Really?"
After listening to Grim's words, Alice's low spirits suddenly rose again.
After what she had gone through during this period of time, Alice could no longer tolerate the weakness of an apprentice!
This was a world where sorcerers were respected. If you wanted to gain basic respect and protect your own interests, the only way was to become a sorcerer.
Although Alice was second to none among the Sorcerer-Apprentices, she would attract envious gazes wherever she went. But as long as she did not become a wizard, she would not be able to enjoy true freedom and indulgence.
Especially when she was facing a Wizard, the disparity in status would make it hard for her to breathe, let alone retain any dignity.
Hence, she had an abnormally strong desire to advance as a Magus!
"Then what do I need to do?" Alice's little face was tense, and her eyes were shining with a fiery light.
"Adjust your condition." Grimus thought for a moment. "Don't interrupt the fusion with the Void Stone. Try to control this power in your own hands. I will think of a way to arrange your advancement ceremony in the near future. At that time, you can use this spatial energy to complete your advancement. "
"What about the side effects of fusing with the Void Stone?"
"That's just a small problem. As long as you can successfully become a Wizard, you can make up for it later! "
Alice thought about it again and finally nodded in agreement.
After leaving Alice in her bedroom, Grimus turned around and went to a small laboratory that he had opened up.
There were long tables and wooden boxes lined up in the middle of the hall. There were also a few stone platforms used for experiments and a small alchemy table.
Grimus no longer needed to go to the alchemy lab to make low-level magic puppets. He could easily do it here. This way, he could avoid people with ulterior motives from spying on his Puppet Creation!
He came to the first stone platform and lifted the black cloth covering it. There was a glass container about half a meter tall, filled with a mysterious blue solution. Floating in the solution was a pair of strange magic gems.
They were a pair of amber magic gems the size of an egg. In the center of the gems was a cloud of earthy yellow gas, which looked like the eyes of a peerless beast that had suddenly opened.
Even looking at it through the transparent container would make one's body feel numb.
A surging source force of earth rushed toward him.
Eyes of Petrification!
This was the biggest loot Grimus got from killing the Wizard with the bloodline of Sark.
Of course, Grimm had also found some books and notes related to the evolution of bloodline in the man's storage ring. However, without a sample of the giant serpent's bloodline, even if he coveted the power of bloodline witchcraft, there was nothing he could do.
Those bloodline families placed great importance on their own bloodline. Once an individual with bloodline power was found, it would be recorded in the family's archives. Whether it was a normal death or an accident, the family would send people to investigate in detail to prevent the bloodline from being lost to outsiders.
Therefore, Grimus' decision to turn Sark's bones into ashes was the right one.
If he really did leave Sark's remains behind, the Hikari family would probably risk war to retrieve them and bring them back.
This pair of Eyes of Petrification was the most precious part of Wizard Sark's body. Recently, Grimus had been researching golem puppets, and he needed these magical gems with strange abilities. Therefore, he used a bioactive protective fluid to maintain the basic activity of the Eyes of Petrification.
Grimus's eyes were covered with a layer of red light, blocking the power of petrification from the Eyes of Petrification.
To be honest, this power of petrification had given him quite a bit of trouble in the last battle. If it wasn't for the Balrog body's outstanding resistance to basic elements, he might not have been able to escape from the fate of being petrified.
Although he won that battle and crushed Sark into minced meat and incinerated him into ashes, it still took him a lot of effort to remove the petrifying energy from his body. Sometimes, when the power of petrification mixed with the aura of the abyss, it gave him a headache.
Therefore, Grimus placed a lot of importance on how to use this pair of eyes of petrification.
He covered the container with the black cloth again, and the slight numbness in his body disappeared. Although this black cloth looked ordinary, it was still a magic artifact. It could hide all the aura of witchcraft inside.
Walking leisurely to the second stone table, there were all kinds of metal parts and mechanical components on it. However, all of them were only half-finished products. Even if they were all pieced together, it would only be enough to form the metal arm of a golem.
These were all Grimus's work, and they were also his preparation for the Magic Puppet in the later stages.
After a period of exploration and research, Grimm had already understood all the knowledge he had brought back from the Silver Alliance. As a result, he discovered some anomalies.
It could be said that when the ancient wizards first started researching magic puppets, they defined them as metal puppets that could help wizards in battle. Therefore, the original motive for creating them was to fight!
Under the influence of this mentality, any overly detailed design would become unsuitable. Therefore, it was rare to see magic puppets with body parts that were as precise as the human body. In order to become a qualified meat shield and vanguard, wizards would try their best to make magic puppets as simple and practical as possible.
The so-called legs of ordinary metal puppets were actually two thick and bulky metal pillars. They would not be like the thighs, calves, ankles, and toes of humans. The more intricate the design of a metal puppet was, the weaker its resistance would be. Instead, it would be better to use the hardest magic iron alloy to make it more sturdy.
Therefore, most of the metal puppets Grimus had seen could not perform complex knight combat techniques. They could only rely on their indestructible bodies and terrifying weight to crush their enemies.
This was not to say that wizards were wrong!
After all, wizards trusted their own abilities more. Making magic puppets was only to protect them so that they could cast spells smoothly. Therefore, wizards mostly made magic puppets according to their own needs. They did not really treat magic puppets as a wizard's assistant and carefully study them.
Grim took a wooden box from the corner of the stone table and opened it. Inside were five wooden puppets that were crudely made.
He randomly picked one up and examined it.
The wooden puppet was a crude human figure carved out of iron shirt wood. It was made up of six parts: a head, a torso, and four limbs. The parts of the body were fixed together with iron nails. The more delicate parts, such as the hands and legs, were wrapped with thin iron wires.
On the back of the wooden puppet, Grim made a pair of wings out of thin pieces of wood and Snow Rabbit skin, which he fastened to the back of the wooden puppet.
To be honest, Grim's carpentry skills were terrible.
According to the instructions in the puppet making manual, a normal wooden puppet must be made by a professional craftsman using specialized wood and meticulously carved before it could be considered a qualified product. However, the wooden puppet in front of him was obviously not carved at all. Not only were there wooden spikes on the surface, but the lower part of its right leg was also cracked. It was obviously a defective product.
Obviously, the maker of this wooden puppet had used too much force when he nailed the iron wire into the sole, causing the wooden leg to crack.
Grimus could only shake his head and smile bitterly at his own craftsmanship.
