The underground world had been very chaotic lately.
This was the message that Kevin had passed on to Grim when he visited him.
Of course, Kevin's visit this time was not just to tell him this, but to bring along the head deacon of the Lothar Trading Company. Their target was the blood garnets that Grim and Mary had gotten from the No. 7 Mine.
After a few days of appraisal, Grim had determined that these blood garnets were a special kind of magic material. They were mainly used to refine some special wizard tools, and they were not helpful for the magic puppets he needed. Perhaps it was because of this that Grimm straightforwardly entrusted the 6 Blood Garnets in their hands to the Lothar Trading Company to deal with.
As for the cost, Grim did not choose magic crystals. Instead, he asked the head deacon to convert all the cost into quasi wizard level elemental crystal cores. Regarding this point, the chief deacon readily agreed with a smile on his face.
Since the head deacon was willing to give away the 6 blood garnets, he had already completed half of his share of resources for this half a year. Moreover, the head deacon did not accept magic crystals and was willing to convert them into elemental crystal cores. This meant that he had successfully negotiated two deals, so how could he not be happy!
The reason why Grim was so happy was because he had learned that the person behind the Lothar Trading Company was Wizard Angus, who they had been dealing with for a long time. Kevin the Black Hand also belonged to the same family as Wizard Angus, the Byron family.
It was because of these 2 factors that Grim did not hesitate to agree to the head deacon's request. It could also be considered as him getting on Wizard Angus' good side.
In return, Kevin became even more enthusiastic towards Grim. He secretly told him that if he had any problems that he could not solve, he could choose to visit Wizard Angus. Whether it was the purchase of knowledge or the exchange of resources, Wizard Angus would give him the biggest discount!
Therefore, in less than half a day, the quasi wizard level elemental crystal cores that Grim needed were delivered to him. There were a total of 4 elemental crystal cores, 1 earth, 2 water, and 1 wind. In addition, there was also a general map of the underground world that had been explored in the Dark Crypt. However, considering the changes in the underground, this map was only for reference. It was very difficult to completely match the actual terrain.
Grimm now understood that for a long time in the future, the only thing that could help him establish an advantage in battle was the large number of Devil Puppets. The advantages of magic puppets lay in their convenience, concealment, and large numbers. If the situation allowed it, Grim even wanted to build an army of Devil Puppets that he could command at will.
In the future, if he didn't like anyone, he wouldn't even need to do anything himself. With a glance, the demonic puppets would be able to drown the enemy.
Of course, such fantasies could only be realized in the distant future. But now, he could only carefully build his own Demon Puppet Squad.
That's right, Grimm already had a preliminary idea. He would use the various combinations of magic puppets to fully exploit the full power of each type of magic puppet. Recently, he had spent most of his time in the Underworld, so he might as well create more Earth element Mana Puppets. But considering the possible changes on the battlefield in the future, he needed to make more preparations.
Water and Wind were the preparations he had made for the future.
Especially the Wind element Mana Puppet. With it, Grimm would have a free flying pet, and he would no longer have to worry about the long journey.
He used the A.I. Chip to scan these elemental crystal cores and let the A.I. Chip tailor-made the most suitable Mana Puppet design for them. Once everything was carried out in an orderly manner, Grimm picked up the crystal ball and silently examined the information and data within.
Within the black curtain, the only thing that could be lit up was the thin layer above. Even the shallowest layer was made up of many twisting and turning tunnels, cracks, secret passages, rifts, and waterways. Countless caves, karst caves, and caverns were dotted here, as many as the stars in the sky. There were as many paths that could be passed between any two locations, though most of them could not be passed by humans.
On this map, the space that could be temporarily sheltered was marked in green, and the roads that could be passed through were marked in blue. Amidst the dense and complicated blue and green, there were specks of red light. These were the approximate distribution of underground creatures, races, and monsters that had been discovered.
Of course, in this shallow three-dimensional map of the Gloomy Region, Grimm could not find any signs related to the ruins of Blissful City.
Because of this, Grimm called Kabi over and asked him to point out the location of the so-called Magus' treasure on the map. After studying it carefully for a long time, Kabi finally pointed out an area. Grimm did not see any signs related to the city, but he saw a large patch of red light that warned of danger.
Some areas in the subterranean world had dangerous forbidden areas that outsiders did not dare to enter. Usually, acolytes would not be able to withstand the harsh natural environment there, or there would be some extremely terrifying monsters. No matter which one it was, acolytes would have to be careful around dangerous areas.
Grimm looked at the glaring red light on the map and could not help but hesitate.
From the glaring red light, it was a forbidden area that even Quasi Magi would be in danger if they entered. Hence, Kabi did not hesitate to point out this place. Theoretically speaking, there was a reason.
Since ancient times, Magi liked to build various types of laboratories in their residences. From Kabi's description, it could be seen that the Grade 2 Magus was also an expert in modifying creatures. Once the laboratory was abandoned, the mutated creatures, modified creatures, puppet creatures, or magic energy stored inside could cause irreversible damage to the area.
It would be fine if the mutated creatures or modified creatures died, but if a powerful one survived, it would be no less terrifying than a Magus to the acolytes who came to explore. Although Kabi claimed to have grasped some of the secret spells of the secret chamber, the risks involved still made Grimm hesitate.
However, just as Grim was hesitating, Kabi revealed some information that once again strengthened his resolve to give it a try.
The Flaming Lord's Scepter!
In one of the secret rooms of the Grade 2 Magus, there was actually a Flaming Lord's Scepter!
To others, this Flaming Lord's Scepter was only a powerful tool that could summon three Quasi Magi every day. However, to Grimm, it had another indescribable special use.
With Grimm's affinity with the fire element, he could use the Flaming Lord's Scepter to create a portal to the Fire Elemental Plane and obtain a steady stream of fire elemental cores. Once his strength reached a certain level, he could even try to occupy a territory in the Fire Elemental Plane and become a true Lord of the Flames.
Putting everything else aside, most of the elemental cores that Grimm had been collecting recently did not come from this plane, but from other elemental planes.
The space of the multiverse was huge and deep, filled with various forms of elemental energy, forming a boundless ocean of energy. The many planes were like islands, floating in the ocean of energy in isolation.
Every plane was a complete miniature world, with land, mountains, rivers, oceans, skies, and living creatures. Not a single thing was missing. However, as the elemental energy mixed into each plane became unbalanced, the plane itself would also show completely different characteristics of the plane.
The plane where the Sorcerer World was located was a large plane that was extremely suitable for the survival of living creatures. However, when the control of the plane was grasped in the hands of the rapidly rising Sorcerers, the characteristics of the plane had also shifted, leaning towards the chaotic and powerful witchcraft energy.
The elemental planes mentioned just now were regions where a single element gathered when they were being nurtured. As such, when these planes grew, they would become single elemental planes.
In ordinary material planes, elemental matter was almost balanced. Earth elemental matter gathered together to form the earth, then mountains, hills, plains, and other different landforms. Water elemental matter gathered together to form streams, lakes, rivers, and even oceans. Wind elemental matter brought clouds, rain, thunder, and lightning to the material plane, while fire elemental matter brought lava, volcanoes, and life to the material plane.
Only when these elements were combined together would they be able to construct a perfect material world where the heavens and the earth grew and everything flourished.
However, the elemental planes were not like this.
For example, the fire elemental plane that Grimm yearned for the most had mountains, hills, oceans, and lakes. However, the basic elements that formed them were all fire elemental particles. Over there, the mountains were burning, the oceans were burning, and even the sky was burning.
Of course, such a world was not suitable for most living creatures to live in, but it could give birth to fire-type creatures that used fire origin energy as their source of life. Fire Spirits, Fire Giants, Lava Hounds, Fire Spirits, Fire Hawks, Molten Giants, Fire Demons, Fire Elders, Flame Lords, and Flame Monarchs … Just like humans, it was a world of fire elemental creatures, and there was a clear hierarchy of power.
If Grimm really wanted to achieve something in the field of fire, the fire elemental plane was a large plane that he had to step into sooner or later.
At the end of the day, the Sorcerer World was just a large plane, and the Sorcerers were aggressive by nature. They loved to search for new material planes in the endless sea of stars, then invade and conquer them, and drag them onto the Sorcerer World's ever-expanding plane chariot.
However, with the cruel and ruthless personalities of the Sorcerers, they had long obtained the coordinates to the elemental plane, but no Sorcerer had ever dreamed of conquering the elemental plane and turning it into a subsidiary plane of the Sorcerer World. The reason for this was that these Elemental Planes were all terrifyingly huge planes. In terms of power, if the Sorcerer World really connected to the elemental plane, the ones who would be the happiest would be the elemental creatures that had no desires.
At that time, it would not be the Sorcerers happily dividing the resources of the elemental plane, but the countless elemental creatures that would flood into the Sorcerer World and expand it into a new elemental plane.
