The witch that Alice wanted to visit was located in the north-east.
That was the border between the territories of the Deceit Witches and the Death Witches, and it was unknown which faction they wanted to visit.
If it was the Death Witch, it would be fine, but if it was the Deceit Witch … Grimm had to consider how to fight his way out.
However, since it was Alice's suggestion, her premonition of fate would definitely not lead him to death. Hence, Grimm could not help but think of it as the former.
The two of them rested for a while in a forest to deal with some of the spoils of war.
After Black Panther Bill died in battle, his body had reverted from a beast to a human form, becoming a headless wizard. Grimm only found a storage ring embedded in his flesh on his right little toe after Alice's reminder.
Even Grimm could not help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the spoils of war inside.
A magic crystal card worth 5,000 magic crystals, and more than 1,300 magic crystals …
There were four to five books and magic notes, most of which were related to the dissection and transplantation of magic organs …
A Fire Dragon Grass leaf was estimated to be worth 200 magic crystals …
A Phantom Talisman that could remove the abnormal state of a host once a day. This was probably what Bill used to guard against Doris' mental spells …
A Sealing Stone (low-grade) that could forcefully expel a summoned creature from the plane after it was thrown out. Avatar had used it to deal with the Inferno Tyrant in the battle just now. Although this grade of Sealing Stone could only expel the Inferno Tyrant from the Magus World for three minutes, it was the best way to deal with Alice …
Four to five glass bottles the size of a human head filled with a strange liquid, each of them soaked with withered and discoloured human organs. According to the A.I. Chip's analysis, they seemed to be Bill's own organs …
Most of the remaining items were bits and pieces of casting materials and daily necessities that were not of much value. This meant that a powerful Magus whose strength was comparable to that of a veteran Magus could not even find 10,000 magic crystals on his body. He was really pitifully poor.
However, just as Grimm thought that Black Panther Bill's net worth was that much, the A.I. Chip's feedback left him speechless.
"Beep, discovered a high-energy enchanted heart. Suspected to have come from a Frostblade Devil Leopard (Peak Grade 1 strength) in the Mist Forest of Taryn Latoya. Basic value: 2,600 magic crystals …"
(Note: This enchanted heart has already been transplanted once. There is a 23% decrease in energy. If it is transplanted again, the base value will drop by 1/3.)
"Beep, discovered a high-energy enchanted stomach, suspected to be from a Droid-eating Beast (Grade 1), base value 1,400 magic crystals …"
"Beep. Discovered a high-energy demonized poison gland. Suspected to have come from a Twin-legged Flying Dragon (Grade 1). Basic value: 1,100 Mana Crystals …"
"Beep! Discovered a high-energy enchanted liver. Suspected to have come from a Violent Earth Bear (Tier-1). Basic value: 1,700 Mana Crystals …"
[Beep. Since the Host is dead, all magic organs will begin to weaken in three hours. This process is irreversible. In order to maximize the benefits, I request the main body to pay attention to picking in advance and storing it properly … "
The A.I. Chip's prompts resounded in Grimm's mind, causing him to frown.
If … If there was a magical beast in front of him, then as a rational Magus who had always pursued the greatest benefits, he would definitely destroy it without hesitation and preserve it with a spell. But now …
Seeing Bill's pale body, the corners of Grimm's mouth twitched, and he finally shook his head and gave up.
A Magus was a Magus, not a magical beast. Although he had no choice but to kill the other party with his own hands, he really couldn't cut the other party into pieces like a wild beast or a magical creature.
However, even if he couldn't do it, he could still test the other party's demonic organ transplant method.
Grimm immediately used the A.I. Chip to scan Bill's body.
This time, without the interference of external energy fields, the scan was very thorough and detailed. Almost every secret on Bill's body was revealed with a single glance.
Truth be told, Grimm despised Black Panther Bill's innate tendency to 'bring things over'.
According to the A.I. Chip's scan, Bill's innate affinity should be with the wind element. The enchanted heart he transplanted came from a Frostblade Devil Panther, which belonged to the ice element. It could barely complement the wind element. However, the stomach he transplanted came from a Devil-Eating Beast, which was an earth-element magical beast through and through. It was completely incompatible with the wind element.
On the other hand, the poison glands of the wyverns and the liver of the Violent Earth Bears were clearly incompatible with his innate abilities. Not to mention unleashing the power of 1 + 1 = 2, it would probably take a lot of time and energy just to resolve the conflict between their origins.
The loss of energy and weakening of strength was unavoidable!
Only now did Grimm understand why this fellow had so many organ mixers in his storage space. It seemed like he had not resolved the conflict between the magic organs and was only barely maintaining it with medicine.
F * ck, the path of bloodline modification is indeed a path of no return filled with thorns and bumps. If he was not careful, he could turn into a monster that was neither human nor ghost!
After the examination, Grimm's palm ignited with a large ball of elemental flames, and he pressed it on the headless corpse of Black Panther Bill. In an instant, the flames surged and engulfed the body in a raging inferno!
"Aiya, what are you doing? Isn't this too much of a pity? " Alice could not help but say regretfully, "This body is still very valuable. There are a lot of good things in it …"
"Alice …" Grimm shook his head at Alice. "Remember, wizards are wizards, not monsters. Wearing their skin, eating their bones, and drinking their blood can make us stronger quickly. But would we still be wizards if we did that? What's the difference between wizards with brains and monsters who only know how to kill? "
"There's no difference!" Alice could not help but twitch her mouth. "Isn't the ultimate goal of those bloodline wizards to become truly powerful monsters? In the end, even their thoughts, behavior, and habits will be the same as them! "
Grimm could not help but ask, "According to what you said, when the bloodline wizards reach the end, what will appear in front of us is a powerful wizard or a powerful monster?"
"Of course … it's a monster!"
"Then what's the point of us pursuing and continuing the legacy of wizards? If the high-level wizards have all become monsters, should the source of the wizard community be located above the human race or the monsters? "
Alice tilted her head and began to think. She could not help but fall into silence.
Ever since she became sensible, all the wizards she came into contact with had placed profit as the most important thing. The witches were considered to be better. They had a strong sense of teamwork, and they knew how to cooperate and help each other much better than other wizard groups that had families or academies as the core.
However, this was more like the division of labor in a wolf pack. The purpose of uniting together was to better hunt and obtain more resources.
From this point of analysis, it seemed that bloodline wizards were not the mainstream of the wizard community. Only elemental wizards were.
There were currently three top grade 9 wizards in the wizard world. One was the founder of the northern witches, Salem, who was known as the Witch Queen, the Queen of Witches, and the ancient witch. Another was Ignatsu, who was said to have mastered the law of the earth. He was also the first president of the Wizard Association. The last one was an arcane wizard, Patrick, who was also known as the "Creator". He was also the founder of the Silver Alliance.
From the top level of the sorcerers, it could be seen that there was an ancient witch with an independent inheritance, a law-defying sorcerer, and an arcane sorcerer. The only thing missing was a bloodline sorcerer and a body-enhancing sorcerer. This also meant that these two types of wizards would never be able to occupy the mainstream of the wizard world. They could only exist in the wizard system in the form of various families or schools.
Bloodline wizards were among the middle and low-level wizards. Due to their special bloodline inheritance, they were exempted from the pain of collecting knowledge. In battle, bloodline wizards had a far greater advantage than other wizards of the same rank. Thus, they were very popular among the major forces and organizations.
However, once they reached the higher ranks, the bloodline shackles that bound them became very obvious. The bloodline that had helped them before had now become the shackles that bound their hands and feet. The upper limit of the bloodline source was the cage that trapped them!
If they did not break it, they would lose the space to rise. If they broke it, it would mean that they would lose something to rely on …
In the past, when they could eat, drink, and sleep, they could increase their strength. Once the golden age of eating, drinking, and sleeping was over, they had to find a new path to advance. This was akin to seeking the path of the blind. That was why the fellow who could rely on bloodline Magi to reach the peak of rank 9 had yet to appear.
It was the same for body-enhancing wizards.
Although they did not have any upper limit, the starting point and potential of the human body was too low. No matter how much they tempered themselves, it was too difficult to raise them to the level of the Lords of Calamity or the Titans.
Thus, the orthodox path of human development was still the basic elements. This was the mainstream of the future development of the Magi.
The basic data of human Magi was too weak. If they wanted to stand at the peak of the world, they could only rely on the accumulation of knowledge and inheritance from generation to generation.
The first generation of Magi might still be weak, but the hundredth generation of Magi could already control a large plane. It was foreseeable that the 200th generation of Magi would become a terrifying existence that would make the multiverse tremble just by hearing their name.
All of this could not be separated from the inheritance of knowledge that had been passed down for a long time.
Human Magi were a group of people with brains and knowledge. They were not beasts that only knew how to kill and devour!
