A new wave of Beasts?
Wouldn't that mean that any "investment" in this area would be met with a terrifying disaster?
Without further ado, the representatives of the two factions immediately rescinded the conditions of the previous agreement. After a close discussion with the higher-ups, they proposed a more conservative plan.
After careful discussion and negotiation, Grimm finally chose to accept the plan of the scattered Wizard Association of the Tower Forest.
The first step of the plan would last for ten years. The scattered Wizard Association of the Tower Forest would set up a mission point in the Flame Monarch's Wizard Pagoda, encouraging and encouraging more Wizards and apprentices to set their training grounds in the Flame Monarch's Wizard Pagoda in order to increase the Wizard Power of the Wizard Pagoda.
What Grimm needed to do was manage the Wizard's Pagoda well and maintain the safety of the training grounds around it.
Wizard Hatch, who was sent by the Wizard Association, emphasized that even if Grimm could not repel the Magical Beasts invading from the north, he had to do his best to ensure the safety of the Dark Forest south of the Wizard's Pagoda. The Wizard Association would try to set up a large camp between Pine Tower Town and the Wizard's Pagoda, working hard to upgrade it to a human settlement.
The Wizard Association would definitely send the necessary Wizards and apprentices to guard such a large camp. But if it was attacked by a large number of Magical Beasts, the Flame Monarch's Wizard's Pagoda would have to provide powerful Wizard Spells.
The higher-ups of the Wizard's Pagoda, represented by Gargamel, had a difficult discussion with Wizard Hatch. Both sides had broken down countless times, then were forced to sit together again under the pressure of the higher-ups.
After a dozen rounds of bargaining, both sides finally came to an agreement just as the Dark Forest north of the Wizard's Pagoda was once again filled with danger.
Other than the previous agreement, the scattered Wizard Association of the Tower Forest would fund the construction of two Teleportation Formations for the Flame Monarch. One was a large-scale public Teleportation Formation, built within the Lava Hall, and maintained and operated by the Wizards stationed by the Association. The energy source for the Teleportation Formation would be provided by the Wizard's Pagoda, and the Association would split the cost of every teleportation with the Wizard's Pagoda eighty-two.
Other than that, the Association would also build a small-scale Teleportation Formation for the Wizard's Pagoda, set up on the fifth level of the Flame Monarch's Pagoda. It was an internal facility of the Wizard's Pagoda, and the Association would not interfere with its use.
Grimm's side was undoubtedly very satisfied with the results of the negotiations.
Even though they had to hand over the profits of the 200 miles of Dark Forest to the south of the Wizard's Pagoda, they managed to maintain absolute control over the Flame Monarch's Pagoda.
It couldn't be helped. It was very easy for him to be disturbed and attacked by the various Magus families if he was alone in the scattered Tower Forest. If he did not bring in the forces of the Wizard Association as soon as possible, the Flame Monarch's Wizard Pagoda might face a complete blockade by the Camala family.
As for the Sarubo Family, Grim had never thought of borrowing their strength.
If he were to ask for help from the Sarubo Family because of a temporary problem, it might be able to relieve a lot of pressure in a short period of time. But when he wanted to leave the family in the future, it would be very difficult to cut off the entanglement of interests.
The higher-ups of the Sarubo Family seemed to understand this and did not provide any more help to Grim. Not only did Grim's private invitation to Wizard Cogan not get a response, but even Wizard Meryl was forcefully called back by her family 2 days ago.
Meryl's departure had also taken half of the acolytes with her, which had undoubtedly weakened the Blazing Flame Monarch considerably. Although Gargamel was cunning and had gathered a group of wandering acolytes in advance, these outsiders, whose average level was only mid-level, were still far inferior to the elite acolytes that the Sarubo Family had nurtured meticulously.
Thus, the Blazing Flame Monarch only had 2 Magi on the surface, Grim and Gargamel. The forest demon Ava could not show her face in public yet.
There were 3 prospective acolytes: Amu, Torre, and Sabrina.
As a veteran prospective Wizard, Kodar had failed once in his attempt to advance to become a Magus, and was currently preparing for his second attempt. In order to obtain better resources, he had followed Meryl back to the Wizard Tower in Ferdenan City.
The other veteran prospective Wizard, Amu, was still lacking in terms of spiritual force, but he would be able to attempt to advance in another 2 or 3 years.
If Grimm wanted to gain complete control over them, apart from guiding them patiently, he would also need to prepare the necessary resources for them as early as possible. There was no such thing as loyalty and feelings between Magi and acolytes. It was more about resources and benefits!
There were two high-level acolytes: Elena and Anthony.
Anthony was a potioneering acolyte that Gargamel had taken in during his travels. He was quite talented in the field of potioneering.
The rest of the acolytes were mostly beginner level acolytes. They had only come here because they had nowhere else to go. Their common trait was that they had low potential and were not worth nurturing.
Other than proper humans, the Blazing Flame Monarch's Wizard's Pagoda had also gathered a group of magical creatures to act as guardians.
The 9 Chimeras were the guards of the Wizard's Pagoda on the surface. They were supplemented by 13 bird demons and 7 snake demons. In private, the 'Two-headed Demon Hound' Anguja and Medusa, who were active in the Black Forest north of the Wizard's Pagoda, were actually pawns controlled by Grim.
It was precisely by relying on them that Grimm was able to create such a dangerous situation, firmly controlling the Blazing Flame Monarch.
Under Grim's instructions, Medusa had become the new leader of the Black Forest. She was actively contacting the other two leaders of the magical creatures that had escaped from the Lava Hall to 'plot' a counterattack against the Wizard's Pagoda and the human camp.
According to the information they received, the Twin-legged Flying Dragon King had taken the bait, while the other tentacle monster was nowhere to be found.
After sending away many envoys and representatives of the Wizard Families, Grim once again handed over his authority to Gargamel. He then hid in the fifth level of the Wizard's Pagoda, exhausted.
This time around, Grim had chosen to expand the space of his private laboratory using Wizard Spells. That way, he could accommodate more small-scale Wizard Laboratories.
This was a secret space that only he could enter. Even Gargamel, with his high authority, could not enter the fifth level of the Wizard's Pagoda.
…
A clean and bright circular path extended in front of Grim.
On both sides of the path, there was a sturdy door made entirely of metal every ten steps.
The center of the door was engraved with a complicated pattern using a strange magic material. The pattern was made up of circular and irregular patterns, and the gaps were also engraved with dense runes.
This secret Wizard Door was closely connected to the core Wizard Formation of the Wizard's Pagoda. If someone tried to forcefully break through it, they would directly trigger the alarm mechanism of the Wizard's Pagoda. Due to the lack of guards of the Wizard's Pagoda, there were still many loopholes in the defense mechanism. That was why Grim wanted to order a few high-level guards of the Wizard's Pagoda from the Silver Alliance.
After all, even the most loyal magical creatures had the possibility of negligence and betrayal, while the simple-minded puppets could always guard this area loyally.
Grimm took a few steps forward and stopped in front of a door with Demon Puppet Runes carved on it.
He gently placed his hand on the Wizard Ring on the metal door, then softly recited the secret incantation, "Mitura, Door of Wizard Techniques." With the double verification of the aura of his soul and the secret incantation, the secret Wizard Door in front of him silently opened.
Within the secret room was a small alchemy lab. Even though the alchemy table in the center of the room was small, it was undoubtedly the best of all the models. Of course, it was also the most expensive.
Currently, on the alchemy table, a dazzling Wind Element Dragon Crystal was floating in the beautiful fluorescent light, silently releasing its enchanting light. On the workbench below it, there were pieces of parchment with mysterious patterns carved into them messily. On the ground, there were even more scrapped blueprints that had been crumpled into a ball …
At this point, Grim's expression couldn't help but turn solemn.
He had obtained the level two Dragon Crystal for so long, but he still had no idea how to turn it into his own battle power.
The Dragon Crystal was a top-notch creature's Essence Crystal, and it naturally had a shred of law attributes. How to dig out every bit of potential hidden within it was a big challenge for Grim!
Once it was successfully forged, it would immediately become a powerful Magic Puppet that surpassed the Inferno Tyrant. It would undoubtedly increase the battle power of his own army by an unprecedented amount. Grim was even confident that if he and the new Magic Puppet worked together, even if they met a rank 2 Magus, they would not be powerless to retaliate.
However, the greater the anticipation for it, the more careful Grim had to be with the new Magic Puppet.
Hence, at the beginning, Grim had to meticulously optimise the Magic Puppet's rune formation to the best possible state. This would obviously require a lot of time to polish and sculpt.
The comprehensive examination of the Dragon Crystal had already been completed. Now, Grim was even familiar with the thickness and extension of every crystal on the Dragon Crystal. The A.I. Chip was also constructing and optimising every detail of the 3D rune formation day and night.
Grim even had to use other elemental crystal cores to verify the design of some key parts of the Magic Puppet in order to determine its true effects.
According to Grim's plan, the new Magic Puppet should be able to fight and fly.
As a Fire Magus, the only spell Grim could use to maintain his mobility was' Flaming Leap '. However, in a battle between high-ranked Magi, this was obviously not enough. That was why he could not fly, which was a huge shortcoming.
Although these shortcomings could be solved with supplementary methods, such as a magic wand enchanted with a 'Flight' spell, a 'Flight' ring, or even a 'Flying Carpet' …
However, these methods would not solve the root of the problem. In many dangerous situations, Grim might not even have the time to activate these supplementary tools. Hence, in order to solve this problem that had troubled Grim for a long time, he purposely made this new Magic Puppet into his own flying War Pet.
