How much could he gain from robbing a Magical Creature Leader?
Grimm did not want to answer this question, as he was grinning from ear to ear.
In the deepest part of the spider's lair, the old spider had carved out many independent caves, each of which contained different types of valuable metals, ores and rare resources.
Even with the Old Spider's hundreds of years of hard work, the wealth he had left Grimm speechless!
Of course, as the Magical Creatures did not have a perfect system for refining ores, most of the ores they stored were natural metal crystals and magical gems of better quality.
In the Old Spider's warehouse, Grimm found a large amount of natural Magic Iron, which was one of the basic materials used by Wizards to create Magic Iron Alloys. Other than Magic Iron, Grimm also found ores such as Thorium, Mithril, Krypton, Adamantine, as well as many magical gems such as Shadow Stone, Cat's Eye Stone, Emerald Ore, Topaz …
Of course, other than ores and gems, the Old Spider also had a warehouse full of Magic Crystals.
Although Magic Crystals and Magic Stones were both Magical Creations, they were of a much lower grade. Magic Crystals were formed from natural stones that had absorbed an excessive amount of Magical Elements. Hence, after the Magical Energy within was extracted, it would form a large amount of residue. Magic Crystals, on the other hand, were crystals formed purely from concentrated Magical Elements under strong external pressure. The amount of Magical Energy a Magic Crystal could store was far greater than that of a Magic Crystal.
In general, Magic Crystals had a stable structure, but they could only absorb a small amount of Magical Energy. Although the structure of Magic Crystals was not very stable, they contained a large amount of Magical Energy and would not leave any residue after being crushed.
Hence, high-level Spell Formations and Wizard Formations required Magic Crystals as the source of Magical Energy, while Magic Crystals could only be used in low-level situations. The exchange rate between the two was around 10 Magic Stones = 1 Magic Crystal.
As for the Magical Creature Nests in the Black Forest, they did not have the ability to refine and compress Magic Crystals, so they mostly used Magic Crystals that they had dug out themselves. Grimm roughly estimated that the Old Spider had about 700,000 to 800,000 Magic Stones, which was equivalent to about 70,000 to 80,000 Mana Crystals.
Even though they could not completely offset the cost of the Wizard's Pagoda, they could still make up for it.
Furthermore, Grimm had sent out more than one team to search for Magic Crystals. If the other two teams had similar findings, they might even have some leftover Magic Crystals!
However, the thing that made Grimm the happiest was a bottle of Terra Vein Blood.
This was a great supplement for Earth Bloodline Sorcerers. If it was brought to the Sorcerer's market, it could be exchanged for at least 30,000 magic crystals.
Apart from that, there were also large amounts of resources associated with metal ores such as Shadow Crystal, Tea Spar, Black Jade, Elemental Earth … or some special plant resources in the Dark Forest such as Thousand-Year Wood Heart, Giant Tree Root, Magic Vine Seed, Sunflower …
Among these miscellaneous resources, Grim also found a small laboratory filled with oddly-shaped arachnid specimens and a large number of unformed embryos. After a careful search, Grimm found a knowledge crystal in the secret compartment of the laboratory. It seemed to record Tula's experience in biological modification experiments and part of the soul knowledge.
Although the monsters did not have a complete and comprehensive inheritance system like the wizards, every ambitious monster would secretly conduct some related research in secret. However, their research was isolated and secretive, and they almost never communicated with each other.
Hence, every monster had to start from scratch if they wanted to research something. There was no ready-made knowledge or technology that they could use as a reference.
The result of such research was that the research of the monsters would always be fragmented and one-sided. Although there were many bright spots, most of them were superficial due to the backwardness of knowledge and technology. They could not reveal the deeper secrets of the Magus World!
From the number of mutated magic spiders and arachnids hidden in the Spider Cave, it could be seen that Tula was also a fellow that loved to reproduce and modify its descendants. However, the combat strength of the descendants it modified was extremely low, which also indicated that Tura's talent and attainments in biological modification were extremely ordinary.
However, Grimm was not picky about this.
In less than 5 seconds after placing the knowledge crystal on his forehead, he had completely copied the sea of data and information within. Under the A.I. Chip's filtering and filtering, 78% of the duplicates and errors were eliminated, and the rest were stored in an orderly manner.
Grimm did not dare to be interested in the information on how to use spider eggs and powerful creatures to produce arachnids. However, there was also a lot of research on the soul, which was of great significance to him.
Truth be told, Grimm had been searching for information related to the soul for a long time, but he had not found anything. Research in this area seemed to be carried out by large Magus organisations and organisations, and the related knowledge and progress were also tightly sealed.
Ordinary Sorcerers had no way of obtaining relevant information, let alone carrying out meticulous and effective sorcery experiments.
Hence, in Grimm's A.I. Chip's database, there was almost no information related to the soul. Although Tula's research was very shallow, and there were many mistakes, it was still of great significance to Grimm!
Especially the last two or three spells related to the soul that were stored in the knowledge crystal, Grimm simply could not bear to part with them. If not for the fact that the time and place were not suitable, he would not have been able to suppress his restlessness and immediately wanted to obtain first-hand information.
After all, to a Magus, new knowledge and new spells were what he was most interested in, and also the greatest motivation for continuous improvement!
There was too much wealth and resources in the spider's lair, and it was impossible for Grimm and Anguja to take away all of them. Hence, Grimm left Anguja behind to look after the place while he returned to the Wizard's Pagoda with Medusa on his Chimera. He then asked his disciple, Prospective Wizard Amu, to bring a group of apprentices and a few Chimeras back and forth.
After all, the Magical Beasts and large creatures in the nearby Black Forest were almost all dead, so there was no need to worry about their safety. Hence, after Grimm gave them the coordinates of the spider's lair, he hid in the Wizard's Pagoda and slowly studied the contents of the knowledge crystal.
As for Medusa, she was heavily injured and stayed in the Wizard's Pagoda to recuperate.
Of course, during this time, Meryl and Gargamel also returned with their teams.
Although there were some twists and turns in the process, the two of them brought back a long list of resources and many strange items for Grimm.
Just like Grimm, the lair of every Magical Beast leader had many resources and personal storage rooms. The storage space of the two teams was limited, so they could only pick out the rare treasures and bring them back. The rest of the resources had to be slowly organized and moved.
As for the ordinary resources, they were, of course, handed over to Gargamel and stored in the resource warehouse to be used as the basic resources of the Wizard's Pagoda. As for the expensive and rare resources, most of them were still handed over to Gargamel after careful screening. As for the more precious resources, they were all stored in Grimm's personal storage room.
In order to win over the hearts of the Three-headed Magic Hound and Medusa, Grimm did not touch their lair at all, leaving it to them to manage. Hence, the clean-up work was mainly focused on the lair of the Hunter Spider Tula, Giant Furious Baboon, Bird Demon, and Snake Demon.
Even though the Bird Demon and Snake Demon were also Magical Beasts that had surrendered, they were limited by their abilities and did not receive the same treatment as the other two Magical Beast leaders. They could only pinch their noses and offer all of their belongings to Grimm, only leaving behind some of their clansmen and resources that they needed.
The continuous relocation lasted for more than ten days, until the Arcane Wizard of the Silver Alliance hurried over with a construction team. The Diseased Forest, no, the pile of rocks, was still bustling with noise and excitement, making one wonder if they had come to the wrong place.
The Diseased Forest had completely disappeared, replaced by a pile of rocks with a radius of five miles. The black soil was mixed with broken rocks, as well as the broken branches left behind by the overturned ancient trees … These were the last traces of the Diseased Forest.
However, at this moment, in the center of the pile of rocks, a giant hole had been dug out, and a new winding underground tunnel had also been opened. Other than the Chimeras that acted as the transport personnel, there were also many low-level Magical Beasts that were commonly seen in the Black Forest.
They were like the most hardworking labourers, constantly unloading boxes of heavy objects from the fully loaded Chimeras, then carrying them into the ground with great difficulty while groaning and groaning.
Faced with the sudden arrival of the 'strangers', groups of Bird Demons flew into the sky, carrying crude spears and spears in their hands, blocking them outside. On the ground, seven or eight Snake Demons with the upper bodies of adult men, with long snake-like tails, also swayed their bodies, holding long and shiny weapons in their hands, surrounding them.
This time, the Silver Robed Wizards used a special floating disc that was unique to the Silver Alliance. Although it did not fly as high as the airship, it was more flexible and suitable for short-distance flight within a hundred miles.
"Could it be that the Wizard Tower could not withstand the attack of the Magical Beasts, and has become a paradise for the monsters?" A Silver Robed Arcane Wizard could not help but say.
"No, I'm afraid it's the opposite!" The one who answered was Wizard Eugene, who was responsible for protecting the two Arcane Wizards, "Look at the side of the hole …"
The Silver Robed Arcane Wizard looked carefully, and as expected, he found the figures of one or two Sorcerer-Apprentices at the edge of the hole. They were not the captives or slaves of these Magical Beasts, but more like the supervisors of a construction site, commanding them with their heads held high.
Seeing the silver robes on Eugene and the others, Quasi Wizard Kodar hurriedly called the Bird Demons and Snake Demons back, then personally came forward to welcome them.
"I wonder if you are honorable Wizards from the Rudfini Trading Company?"
"That's right, we are indeed from the Rudfini Trading Company."
"That's great, my teacher is waiting for you in the Wizard's Pagoda. Please follow me! "
