If he wanted to create a tool to summon the Earth Golem, it would be impossible to do it in his own residence. Hence, after leaving his residence, Grimm hurried to the alchemy laboratory on the third floor.
After spending 3 knowledge points and 30 gold coins, Grimm obtained the alchemy table with the highest precision for three hours of use. Such a price took up almost half of Grimm's capital. If not for the fact that he wanted to ensure the success rate of his first puppet, he would not have been willing to spend so much.
The floor was clean and the walls were smooth. The walls of the stone room were filled with wooden shelves with all sorts of items. The labeled bottles and jars were filled with commonly used magic ingredients. The elemental wands were used to test the elemental properties of items, and the metal armor set was used to test the power of magic equipment … Apart from that, there were many other strange items that Grimm could not explain.
However, these were not the main focus of Grimm's attention. What he cared about the most was the alchemy table in the middle of the room that flickered with an elemental luster.
Metal chains hung down from the ceiling, the ends of which were embedded with illuminating stones. Eight chains and eight illumination stones formed a circle around the alchemy table. This way, the operator would not be disturbed by the shadows when they were fully focused on refining magic items.
This was simply a different world's version of the shadowless lamp!
This alchemy table was actually a different world's version of the industrial bed.
The entire alchemy table was 8 metres long and 4 metres wide. It was filled with all sorts of strange items that exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. The table could be divided into 16 work areas, and each area could be used to complete a specific alchemy activity.
A Master Alchemist who was familiar with the process of alchemy could easily complete an alchemy experiment in a fluid manner. For a stranger, it would take at least half a month to familiarize himself with all the magic items and equipment on the alchemy table.
However, this was not a problem for Grimm, who had the help of the A.I. Chip.
"A.I. Chip, begin scanning the alchemy table and formulate a plan for the experiment!"
[Beep. Mission established … Beginning scanning …]
As the blue light in Grimm's eyes flickered, the A.I. Chip scanned the utensils, items, and facilities on the alchemy table, as well as the magic machinery and runic spell formations hidden within the alchemy table. Not a single thing was missed.
Thanks to his previous knowledge and on-site scanning, most of the facilities and items on the alchemy table were quickly recorded into the A.I. Chip's database and projected to Grim's retina in the form of annotations.
Now, as Grimm's eyes moved around the alchemy table, every time a strange and mysterious item or equipment entered his sight, a clear and clear description would appear on his retina.
This was simply a machine that had fused all alchemy methods!
The magnifying glass embedded on the movable mechanical arm was not made of those painstakingly polished concave and convex mirrors on Earth. Instead, it was a lens with a special spell formation etched on it. Grimm had chosen the highest standard alchemy laboratory, so the magnification of the magnifying glass was between 5 and 300 times. If it was an ordinary alchemy laboratory, the magnification would only be 150.
The reason why this was specially mentioned was that most alchemy tools needed to be engraved with miniature engravings. This meant that a few or dozens of independent yet closely connected spell formations had to be engraved on a certain part of the tool. Some brilliant alchemy masters could even engrave hundreds of spell formations on a fist-sized ruby.
As a beginner, Grim did not have the ability to do this. Therefore, he only needed to carve 7 magic circles on a Heart Core that was the size of a fingertip.
Summoning runes were a must. These were the basic runes to summon an Earth Golem, and every summoning tool had them.
Elemental life bestowment spell formations were also a must. These could be used to construct an elemental body for the Earth Golem, and the material was soft soil.
The control system for the Imprint of Will was even more important. Grimm's own soul imprint had to be left in it during the refining process, so that the summoned Earth Golem could listen to Grimm's commands.
In order for the summoned Earth Golem to be able to freely control the body formed by elemental energy, the necessary energy nodes and circuits had to be outlined. This was related to the Earth Golem's mobility and combat power, so there was no room for carelessness.
Of course, Grimm did not know anything about such a difficult rune technique. Fortunately, he had the A.I. Chip to help him with the design and optimization work, so he only needed to follow the instructions.
Even so, the difficulty of Grimm's work was unimaginably high.
In the past 6 years, Grimm had only had a few alchemy experiences, and he had only done some simple work like purifying elements and extracting essence. Therefore, he was still a newbie in the field of alchemy.
But today, he did not have the chance to try it out.
This was because there was only one core of a monster!
If he failed, his plan to build an army of Earth Golems would be stuck at the first step.
… …
Grimm stood motionless in front of the alchemy table for a full quarter of an hour. In his mind, the A.I. Chip had already used the simulation method to repeatedly demonstrate the process of refining the Heart of the Magic Centipede. He only stopped when he had memorized all the key points and details.
Grimm was stunned for a moment, but he finally began to move.
He took out a piece of Dark Demon Iron from his waist pouch and threw it into a crucible. In the next second, his spiritual force penetrated the control formation of the alchemy table. With a soft bang, a stable and hot elemental flame burned under the crucible.
If he did not have the alchemy table, he would have to use his own elemental flame to melt the Dark Demon Iron. During this process, he needed to maintain a stable output of fire elemental energy for more than 15 minutes. Otherwise, he would not be able to melt the Dark Demon Iron completely.
Now that he had the alchemy table, he only needed to activate the hidden formation under the alchemy table, and the alchemy device would automatically melt the alchemy item according to the temperature and time he had set. In the process of waiting for the Dark Demon Iron to melt, he could also divert his attention to other preparatory work.
This fully demonstrated the advantage of the Magic Alchemy Bench.
Grimm placed the Heart Core he took out from Simba's skull above the alchemy table. He adjusted the magnifying glass to the appropriate position and degree, and then slowly prepared the micro-carving equipment.
The micro-carving equipment was a special magic tool. By injecting different amounts of wizard power into it, it could produce a scorching ray that was as thin as a mosquito. This scorching ray had been specially modified and adjusted by Master Alchemists. Although it was weak, it had a powerful cutting ability.
Not to mention normal magic metals, even Octave Gold, Underground Adamantine, and Krypton Gold, which were hard beyond the imagination of ordinary people, could be easily carved and drawn runes on the surface of the Heart Core.
What Grimm needed to do now was to use this set of equipment to micro-carve 7 Runic Arrays on the fingernail-sized Heart Core. There was a Summoning Runic Array, a Will Imprint Array, an Elemental Life Bestowment Array, four energy nodes, and several energy circuits …
It was easier said than done. Grimm calmed himself down, placed his eyes under the magnifying glass, and finally began the work he had been preparing for a long time.
Under the effect of 300 times magnification, the Heart Core that was originally the size of a fingernail had become a huge object covered in coarse granules. Under the guidance of the A.I. Chip, Grimm controlled the spell formation and adjusted the Heart Core to the most suitable position and angle. Only then did he activate the Scorching Ray spell formation.
As the Scorching Ray that was only a tenth as thick as a cow's hair struck the Heart Core, the spot where the light was projected turned red and soft. Gradually, a hole the size of a strand of hair was burnt out. Grimm then used his spiritual force to slowly move the Scorching Ray on the surface of the Heart Core, and a regular line appeared.
Under the A.I. Chip's overall planning, the position and depth of the line were all marked out for Grimm with different coloured lights. All Grimm had to do was to use his spiritual force to control the Scorching Ray spell formation and follow the path and speed that the A.I. Chip had marked out. He had to complete this meticulous task.
Crisscrossing runes that looked like scribbles were etched out one by one, and then surrounded by wizard rings. Energy nodes were left at the four corners, and an energy circuit was formed in the middle.
After an entire hour and a half of sculpting, the seven designed spell formations surrounded the Heart Core, forming a perfect three-dimensional spell formation.
Finally, the first step was complete.
The next step required patience and meticulousness to link the spell formation.
The previous miniature carvings only outlined the lines of the spell formation. However, the gathered magical energy would not automatically flow through the lines. Hence, a medium that was compatible with the magical energy and could guide the flow of the energy was needed.
This medium was the molten Dark Devil Iron.
Of course, if it was an official Magus who was rich and imposing, the liquid used as a medium would have been Mithril. However, Grimm did not have such wealth and resources, so he could only use the lowest grade Dark Devil Iron.
Although there was a significant loss in energy conduction, it was more than enough for an Earth Puppet that did not require much technology.
Another long hour passed, and Grimm continued to exhaust his spiritual force. Although the output of spiritual force was very weak, after such a long time, the veins on his forehead were bulging. Sweat rolled down his forehead, but he did not have the chance to wipe it off.
He had to use a spell formation to guide the liquid Dark Demon Iron into a thin thread, and slowly pour it into the hole that had been etched by the Scorching Ray. There couldn't be any cracks, and there couldn't be any leakage. Such a difficult task was practically an impossible miracle for a beginner acolyte.
However, with the help of the A.I. Chip, Grimm turned this miracle into reality.
When the last thread of Dark Devil Iron melted in the hole, Grimm cut off the spell formation and pushed open the magnifying glass in front of him. He silently looked at the Demon Puppet's Heart Core floating on the platform. At this moment, his heart was in turmoil, and his eyes could not help but moisten.
