Ferde South City, Wizard Tower.
The hall of puppets located on the seventh floor of Grimm's residence was still bustling with activity.
In the center of the hall, a majestic giant metal spider was crouching on the floor, and the scaffolding beside it was densely packed with sorcerer-apprentices who were hard at work.
After working day and night without rest, the full-metal body of the spider golem that Grimm had personally designed was finally completed. After the dwarven construction team left, Grimm recruited a large number of apprentices from the Wizard Tower and began to etch runes on the spider golem.
The spider golem was now just a lump of metal. In order to make it listen to its master's commands, many control runes had to be etched all over its body, such as energy transmission lines, sturdy runes, elementary elemental resistance runes, consciousness control centers, energy storage nodes …
The main body of the Spider Golem was a disc-shaped cockpit with a diameter of five meters. The outer shell was made of magic iron alloy that was half a meter thick, and the inner structure was made of mechanical gears made of magic machinery. This way, not only could it reduce the consumption of magic iron alloy, but it could also make it more flexible than a normal magic puppet.
Grimm had studied most of the golems and magic puppets of the Silver Alliance. In order to achieve a higher degree of sturdiness, they would use a full-metal body. The golems created this way would only have a few joints that could move within a small range, sacrificing flexibility in exchange for an indestructible defense.
This was not wrong. After all, the role of magic puppets in the Silver Alliance was to be used as cannon fodder. If long-range attackers were needed, the elemental puppets could be used. Therefore, these metal lumps did not need to be flexible. As long as they were sturdy enough to withstand the attacks of a large number of enemies, it would be fine.
When Grimm was creating the spider golem, he had considered its ability to pass through all terrain and its ability to support attacks on the battlefield.
As for its defense?
Although the half-meter-thick magic iron alloy was not indestructible, Grimm estimated that it would take at least two or three Wizard-level stone puppets fifteen minutes to damage the spider golem's shell.
And with this effort, the Inferno Tyrant, who was cooperating with the spider puppet beasts in battle, would probably have already turned the surrounding one kilometer into a terrifying sea of fire!
Therefore, after much consideration, Grim felt that there was no need to continue strengthening the spider puppet monster's defense. Instead, it was necessary to improve its mobility and attack methods.
Otherwise, an enemy's Quagmire spell could turn this gold-devouring behemoth into a pile of immobile scrap metal.
In this regard, the spider form with multiple limbs and good balance was the best choice!
Modifying the spider puppet beast was not a small task. Most of the important runes and circuits needed to be etched into the inner metal layer. The spider's limbs also needed to be engraved with runes of toughness, sharpness, and other effects.
This was the only way to avoid the damage to the rune circuits, which would cause the entire spider puppet monster to fail.
When Alice hid in the cockpit, there was a thick metal barrier, so it was a huge problem for her to monitor her surroundings in real time. To solve this problem, Grim added a one-meter-wide metal ball to the front of the spider puppet monster's disc-shaped cockpit. He then hollowed it out and filled it with many magical gems, turning it into a beehive-like spider head.
Scouting crystals, laser stones, giant rubies that could emit scorching rays, shield crystals that could activate defensive force fields, and the two Eyes of Petrification that could activate the power of petrification …
In short, in order to improve the spider puppet monster's survival and combat abilities, Grim searched through his gem vault and used all the magical gems that could be used. Not to mention the magic iron alloy required to create the spider puppet monster, just the magical gems alone were worth more than 30,000 magic crystals.
From this, it could be seen how much effort Grim had put into ensuring Alice's safety!
… …
While Grim was busying himself in the Puppet Hall, Alice was leisurely playing with her divination skills.
Yes, she was playing with it!
After such a long period of exploration, Alice had a deeper understanding of divination. What were its advantages and disadvantages? What were its disadvantages? How should divination be used effectively? She had answers to these questions one after another.
First of all, there were no gods in the Sorcerer World.
This was the most important point!
The absence of a god meant that there was no super 'life' above Alice's head that could control her completely.
Therefore, the feedback that Alice received every time she performed divination was not a gift from the gods, but a feedback brought to her by the plane's laws based on some unknown power of laws.
In other words, whenever she used this divination spell, she was not dealing with an extraordinary creature with super intelligence, but a cold and emotionless plane's law system.
Recently, Alice had been using up her divination quota every day and repeatedly testing this so-called plane's law system.
It had to be said that for a little Grade 1 Witch like her, the vastness and strictness of the plane's law system had far exceeded her imagination.
With the same content and the same time, the feedback from the plane's law system could be completely different, and sometimes it could even be completely opposite. The stronger the person involved in the divination request, the more vague the feedback would be. Sometimes, there would be no feedback at all.
In short, with Alice's current strength, she would not be able to get any feedback from Magi of rank 2 and above. Even if the divination was successful, the feedback would mostly be vague and difficult to use.
However, when facing opponents of the same rank as her, Alice's divination still played a big role.
Alice's divination success rate for elite Wizards was less than 30%, which meant that only two out of five divination quotas would be successful each day. When it came to ordinary Wizards, Alice's success rate could reach 70%, which meant that at least three out of five divination quotas would be successful.
As for those who were below the level of Wizards, Alice's success rate was 90%.
As for Xue Fu, who could pose a threat to her, he was unfortunately below the level of a Magus. Therefore, during this period of time, Alice, who had figured out the characteristics of divination, became the most sinister little woman. She hid in her room every day and peeped at her future opponent's privacy.
Yes, peeping!
Basically, Alice's five divinations every day revolved around this Chave.
What was it like?
What elements did Cheff have affinity with …
What kind of sorcery was Cheff good at …
What kind of personality did Cheff have …
What kind of powerful weapon did Cheff have …
What kind of fighting habits did Cheff have …
If she only considered these basic information, Alice would be able to understand her opponent in less than three to four days. But after understanding all of this, Alice's divination prayer had already become:
What was Cheff's favorite color …
How many times did Cheff take a bath a day …
What was Cheff's size …
How many times did Cheff go to the toilet a day …
The year of her menarche …
Did she have any experience in that area …
…
And for this information, every time Alice succeeded in her divination, she would use a special small notebook to record it. So, relying on the fate puzzle again and again, Alice spent a lot of time and energy and finally outlined a lifelike image of Cheff in her mind.
Natural affinity with the ice element, outstanding talent, calm, intelligent, beautiful …
Cheff had shown outstanding talent in ice and snow since she was a child, so she was specially sent to the Winter Witch territory by her grandmother, Angelina, who was a rank 4 Witch. She studied and grew up there, and only returned to the family territory after she became a Destiny Witch these years.
Although her life was short, it contained many important elements that even Alice was envious of. So, the more Alice knew about her, the more she could not help but like such a 'successful' girl.
But what Alice did not know was that because of her frequent harassment during this period of time, she had almost driven this competitor, Cheff, crazy!
To be honest, if not for her identity as a Destiny Witch candidate, perhaps Cheff, who was hundreds of thousands of miles away, would not have been able to sense Alice's nonsense.
Two girls with different personalities and different fates, one in the central part of the Magus Continent, the other in the northern part of the Magus Continent, separated by hundreds of thousands of miles. They had never met each other, and it was impossible for them to know each other. But at this moment, they were forcibly twisted together by the power of fate.
Every time Alice successfully performed divination related to Cheff, Cheff, who was far away in the extreme north, would suddenly feel a chill in the depths of her heart, no matter where she was. It was like … it was like a bone-chilling ghost hand reaching into her clothes, slowly groping her body, drilling into her secrets.
When she was deep in meditation in the ice cave, her meditation would be interrupted by a sudden surge of fear …
When she was practicing ice witchcraft, her casting would be interrupted by a disturbed state of mind …
When she closed her eyes to take a nap, she would be suddenly awakened by an unexpected stimulus …
Even when she hid in her mother's wizard tower, it was difficult to isolate this sudden fear from an unknown source.
It was fine for the first few days, this kind of uninvited alarm was still somewhat regular. But in the end, it was completely chaotic. It would come when she was eating, when she was sleeping, when she was meditating, and even when she was bathing or going to the toilet, it would appear inexplicably. It made her extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do.
Due to the inexplicable interference, Cheff's meditation progress was obviously much slower.
