Gilnis City, which had been in turmoil for a long time, finally quietened down.
The original Level 2 Resource Point had been through this catastrophe, and was now in a dilapidated state.
If they wanted to restore it, they would first have to repair the damage caused by the battle between the three Magi. If they had the manpower and resources, they might as well rebuild another resource point.
Hence, after receiving compensation from the Anu family, the Sarubo family gave up on the resource point. They only repaired the Iron Ring Mining Ground and resumed operations.
Hence, the acolytes stationed at the resource point were transferred to the Iron Ring Mining Ground and some were stationed in Gilnis City. The rest returned to their families.
With the Anu family retreating from the vicinity of Gilnis City, the battle between the Sarubo family and the Anu family came to an end with one side losing face.
Although everyone knew that the matter was not over, on the surface, the two middle-ranked families still restrained themselves and did not let the battle escalate into a family war.
The instigator of this conflict, the Quasi-Magus Sark who had killed the acolytes of the Anu family, hid in Ferdenan City and temporarily kept his life. The name of the Fire Demon was once again resounding.
He had single-handedly defeated two Anu family Magi and held them hostage. Such an absurd thing was rarely seen in the history of wars in the scattered towers forest. Hence, Grimm's nickname of the 'Fire Demon' was once again mentioned and gradually known by all the Magus families.
The Sarubo family had a rather deep background, and now they had a powerful fighter like Grimm. In a short period of time, many Magus families and organisations in the central continent were increasingly optimistic about the future of the Sarubo family.
Almost all of these disturbances had nothing to do with Grim, who was hiding in the Limestone Tower and refusing to come out.
After the dust settled, there was an endless stream of Magi who came to visit Grimm in Gilnis City.
Some of them came to congratulate Grim, some of them happened to pass by, and some of them came to invite him to go on an adventure. Of course, most of them came to buy some top-grade Magic Puppets …
Yes!
As the process of the previous battle became known, the Elemental Puppet, which played a pivotal role in Grim's battle, became the focus of everyone's attention.
Looking through Grimm's history of battle, regardless of whether it was the Lord of the Flames, the Inferno Tyrant, or the Wind Dragon, the powerful Elemental Puppets had become Grimm's greatest guarantee to turn the tables on him.
This also meant that Grimm himself was a puppet maker who was not known to the outside world!
With the same amount of resources consumed, the Elemental Puppets would not be able to defeat the Metal Puppets of the same level due to the lack of strong shells. However, the Metal War Puppet's huge body and terrifying weight made it difficult to carry it around without a Magic Puppet Amulet.
Under such circumstances, a high-quality Elemental Puppet was extremely valuable!
This was why many wizards were attracted by Grim's reputation and were willing to spend large amounts of magic crystals to ask him to create a powerful elemental puppet for them.
Due to well-known reasons, everyone also knew that Arcane Sorcerers had quite a high failure rate when crafting witchcraft items. Hence, every Magus who came would prepare two to three sets of magic materials and high-grade elemental crystal cores in order to obtain a satisfactory 'magic puppet'.
At the start, Grimm was extremely against it.
Just like what everyone had found out, having a high-quality Elemental Puppet was undoubtedly the reason why he had been able to survive until now. If his enemies had the same kind of magic puppet, it would be hard to say if he would still be able to gain the upper hand.
However, when a rich and overbearing Magus placed three sets of resources in front of him in exchange for a high-quality Elemental Puppet, Grimm could no longer resist the thirst in his heart and accepted the other party's conditions.
For the next three days, the Magus stayed in the stone tower and secretly revealed a portion of his strength to Grimm, as well as specific and detailed requirements.
Though he could not use the A.I. Chip to examine the other party's body and obtain first-hand information, Grimm was able to get a rough idea of his basic body model and his habits in battle.
The preparatory work took three days, and the A.I. Chip used these three days to successfully complete the calculations and model of the high-grade custom-made Magic Puppet.
The other party provided three peak grade 1 wind elemental crystal cores, and Grimm needed to create a high-grade mount that could complement his casting and battle skills.
With the help and guidance of the A.I. Chip, Grimm was able to achieve a success rate of 89%, which was much higher than the 64% success rate of a rank 2 Magic Puppet.
Hence, without any surprises, Grimm successfully created a powerful Gale Hawk for the other party in just one try. Of course, the process of creation was not to be seen!
Hence, when the other party left satisfied after testing it, Grimm had successfully obtained two peak grade 1 wind elemental crystal cores as well as a large number of supplementary materials.
In comparison, the magic crystals that the other party had given him seemed insignificant, not even worth mentioning!
Having tasted the sweetness of success, Grimm quickly accepted another three similar requests. Apart from one where he had some problems and wasted a portion of materials, the rest were all completed in one go.
This allowed him to earn a bountiful harvest in an instant!
The Elemental Magic Puppets that he had created were all of superior quality. The consumption of magic power was only 70% of other Elemental Puppets, but their power was increased by more than 30%. However, what the Magus who commissioned the request was that the Elemental Magic Puppets that Grimm had personally created only used 50% of the spiritual force of other Elemental Puppets.
This meant that a Magus could only control one Elemental Puppet with the same amount of spiritual force, but could summon two Elemental Puppets at the same time.
Isn't this … a little too terrifying!
In battles between Magi, the summoned Elemental Puppets were mostly used as cannon fodder or to protect themselves. Very few Magi used them as a main force in battle. The main reason for this was that the summoned Elemental Puppets required the Magus' spiritual force.
A Magus only had a limited amount of spiritual force. If too much of it was used by the Elemental Puppets, the amount of spiritual force left for casting spells would be stretched thin.
Take the veteran wizards for example. Most of them had a Mind Power of 10-15 points. If they wanted to summon an Elemental Puppet of the same strength, they would need 6-7 points of spiritual force. As long as the Elemental Puppet was alive, this portion of their spiritual force would always be used to support the Elemental Puppet's battle needs.
Without this portion of spiritual force, veteran Magi's spiritual force would be affected to a certain extent, whether it was their spiritual force recovery or the casting of large-scale spells. Therefore, when the Elemental Puppets could not reach their desired level of strength, most Magi would rather rely on their own spells.
However, the Magic Puppets that Grimm had created, even those grade 1 elites, only required 3-4 points of spiritual force to summon. This meant that a veteran Magus would only need 6-8 points of spiritual force to summon two Elemental Puppets of the same strength.
Even if two of the three Magi were a little weaker, they would still be a huge support force!
In an extreme case, a veteran Magus could give up on the battlefield and summon 4 Elemental Puppets of similar strength. They could use their unbridled bombardment to force the enemy to retreat.
This was much safer than fighting on the battlefield himself!
As long as the enemy did not have any dirty tricks or dodged the Elemental Puppets, this kind of tactic was almost invincible. It was brainless and brutal!
Even if you were a genius Magus, your casting speed and the power of your spells would be stronger than your opponent's. However, when you were surrounded and attacked by four or five fearless elemental magic puppets, the continuous attacks and the method of exchanging injury for injury could make a so-called genius wizard retreat and cry bitterly.
Therefore, when the information of the Magic Puppets created by Grimm was leaked, all the Magi were moved, and those Magi who mainly focused on summoning almost went crazy.
As more and more Magi gathered in Gilnis City, Forgan, a grade 2 Magus from the Sarubo Family, personally rushed to the stone tower and half persuaded and half forced Grimm and the others to return to Ferdenan City.
The excuse he used was also very appropriate!
According to the Sarubo Family's secret information network, there were already a few grade 2 Magi who had their eyes on Grimm.
Grimm should not have exposed the Wind Dragon that was close to the pinnacle of the Type 1 realm in the previous battle. As for the Wind Dragon, it used a genuine Tier 2 Core Crystal.
This meant that with Grimm's current skill in making Magic Puppets, he could already design and create a grade 2 crystal core.
If the Sarubo Family could produce one or two more Magic Puppets with the strength of a grade 2 Magus, it would be a huge disaster for any enemy family!
Even if Grimm could not make a grade 2 Magic Puppet, the family would still have 20 or 30 more peak grade 1 Magic Puppets. It would be a bloody massacre!
Because of this, the higher ups of the Sarubo Family even alerted the Great Wizard Sarubo himself, who was in the outer world, and forcefully brought Grimm back to the family's headquarters.
When he heard that the family wanted him to help them make a batch of suitable Elemental Magic Puppets, Grimm agreed without hesitation.
Therefore, he was brought by Wizard Forgan to a heavily guarded resource warehouse on the 16th floor of the Wizard Tower.
After Wizard Forgan used 6 or 7 different spells and went through 16 identity checks, he finally opened the door of the warehouse in front of him.
"Work hard, Grimm!" Wizard Forgan excitedly spread his arms, "You will become the hero of the family's rise …"
