The communication with the Angus wizard lasted all night.
Greem also learned about the specific rules of puppeteer competition, which can be roughly divided into a melee mode that wins by quantity and a golem battle mode that wins by quality.
The spiritual power of every puppeteer has its upper limit. The number of puppets that can be controlled at the same time is limited by the spiritual power, and it is impossible to grow infinitely. So the first melee mode is more to test the upper limit of the puppeteer's spiritual power and the puppet control level under limited energy.
And the second puppet battle mode is the favorite competitive method of most puppet masters.
The two puppet masters each sent their own carefully crafted puppet, and they fought head-to-head like a human arena. The puppet is exquisitely made, and the one with the strongest combat power wins.
Of course, this aspect tests the puppet master's skills and experience in making puppets. A powerful puppeteer can always endow the puppets he makes with more and greater combat capabilities. But on the other hand, it is actually testing the financial strength of the family behind the puppeteer.
A terrifying puppet made entirely of subterranean fine gold, even if the puppeteer who built it is just a rookie with terrible skills, can easily overwhelm a dozen masterpieces made of ordinary magic gold.
According to Angus, the Gretor family who challenged their family this year had been searching for all kinds of rare golem metals. It is said that in order to win this competition, the opponent is secretly building a very special battle doll, but the specific information is still difficult to obtain.
After sending Angus away, Greem immediately locked himself in the stone room and began to study the special profession of Puppeteer behind closed doors.
Of course, puppeteer is just a more general title. If it is subdivided, I am afraid that it can be divided into more than a dozen different branches of puppeteer schools. And the things they make also cover golems, golems, constructions, mechanical beasts, alchemy life, activated creations, element puppets, magic machines...
The difference between them may be difficult to distinguish in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of puppeteers, they all have huge differences in their origin and essence.
Take the golem made by Greem, a pseudo-golem master, as an example, it is very different from ordinary golems and golems.
Under normal circumstances, a puppeteer consumes most of all kinds of precious and rare magic metals to create a golem or puppet. They used magic metal with good conductivity to build the inner core of the golem, and then used magic-hating metal to build an indestructible huge body for the golem.
Coupled with humanoid joints, a good transmission mechanism, hidden energy transmission pipelines, and exquisite control circuits... With these, a qualified golem can be built.
The source of energy that drives these puppets to fight and act is the energy spar embedded in their bodies, that is, magic crystals.
Therefore, compared with golems, these golems generally have real bodies. What the puppeteer does is to ingeniously design and transform the witch array inside the puppet, so that it can be more closely integrated with the puppet, so as to drive such a huge iron lump to operate flexibly.
And the magic puppet, seriously, is just a kind of elemental puppet.
They did not have a real body at the beginning of the summoning, but only a summoning crystal nucleus engraved with many witch formations. They rely on the free elemental energy naturally absorbed by the crystal nucleus, use local materials, extract corresponding elemental substances from the surrounding environment, and use the witch array to control them to form their own temporary torso.
If you simply consider it from the perspective of combat power, the golem is definitely not as good as the golem or puppet with a solid body, but the golem also has an advantage that the opponent cannot match, that is, it is easy to carry.
When not in use, the golem can disperse its temporary body and restore itself to a spar the size of a pigeon egg, which can be carried away in its arms. And golems or golems are usually four to five meters tall huge metal figures, weighing a terrifying dozen tons, and they can't be folded or shrunk.
No matter how powerful such a doll is, you can't run around the world with it every day. And to drive them to walk, the number of magic crystals consumed every day is not a small amount, not to mention the consumption during battle.
Therefore, battle golems and golems are generally only equipped in fixed witchcraft facilities.
They are usually used to patrol and stand guard to prevent foreign enemies from invading. The work efficiency is much more efficient than that of wizards or wizard guards. When you are free, you can also rely on the energy pool in the witchcraft facility to recharge, so that you can save a lot of magic crystals.
However, Greem has also heard that some top puppet masters seem to be able to create a special space wizard for storing golems and puppets, and call them puppet amulets. It's just that the cost of making this kind of golem talisman is not cheaper than making top-level golems, so it is difficult to promote it on a large scale. It can only be used to carry those elite golems with exquisite individuality but powerful combat power.
Taking all these related factors into consideration, Greem still felt that golems were more suitable for him than golems.
But now when he needs to fight an orthodox puppeteer, factors such as transportation and price can be ignored, and what needs to be considered more is their combat power.
Both parties participated in the competition are first-level wizards, and it is impossible to create witchcraft creations that surpass their own ranks. At this time, the defect of the golem's lack of a solid body will undoubtedly be revealed in the confrontation with the metal golem. So if you really want to fight with the opponent, avoiding head-to-head is the only way to win!
Although Greem has strong confidence in his Flame Tyrant, considering the unpredictable world, he thinks it is better for him to prepare some strategies and tactics for the Flame Tyrant in advance. Otherwise, if he really encounters a terrifying adamantine golem in the arena, then the Flame Tyrant might capsize in the gutter when faced with an immovable and untouchable iron bump.
No matter how high the technology is, you are also afraid of kitchen knives!
...
A wizard's time is always precious!
Three days of waiting may be very long for ordinary people, but for a wizard who is immersed in his own research, it is not even enough time for a nap.
Three days later, a new flying ship arrived, bringing with it fifteen wizards.
So they gathered enough floating battleships with the required number of wizards and set sail without hesitation!
The space inside the floating battleship is much larger than that of the previous flying ship, but most of the space is reserved for a huge amount of cargo, and the rest needs to carry some necessary war wizards, so it is reserved for the living space of the wizards. Still so small.
For the wizards on the floating battleship, they are not only the passengers of the ship, but also the guardians of the ship.
There are only 5 wizards sent by the Silver Alliance on each floating battleship, and most of them are only responsible for maintenance and management. Once the floating battleship encounters monster attacks while crossing the channel, the wizards on board have the obligation and responsibility to kill or expel them together.
In this regard, every wizard on board has signed a witchcraft contract in advance.
If any wizard refuses to contribute when needed, the Silver Alliance wizard has the right to expel him. No matter how powerful a wizard is, if he is driven off the ship halfway, his fate is doomed!
After learning about these instructions for boarding, Alice muttered dissatisfiedly: "These Silver Alliance wizards are simply too smart. This is not the same as charging foreign wizards for the boat and treating them as free. Your bodyguards will use it!"
Goblin Kirby also nodded vigorously, expressing his approval.
Greem smiled and said: "This is their territory, of course everything needs to follow their rules. You two should also pay attention, when you arrive in the Sky City, you can't utter such offensive words casually. Otherwise I can't save you even if you bring in the silver-robed law enforcement officers!"
Wizard Angus looked at the trio curiously.
A wizard, a would-be witch and a wacky green goblin!
It is also difficult for them to get together with such disparate levels.
In the world of wizards, only wizards with the same status as oneself are worthy of equal interaction. All the rest are either servants or available humanoid resources, and there is no possibility of equal communication between various races and classes.
A wizard may be very pleasant and caring towards a would-be witch. And this, either the quasi-witch is his disciple, or the quasi-witch is his direct blood relative. Apart from this, there is no other possibility.
As for a wizard speaking kindly to a green goblin, the only possibility is that he doesn't want to frighten the other party and affect his ongoing witchcraft experiment!
But the scene in front of him was obviously not within his common sense.
The newly promoted Greem wizard was obviously communicating with the prospective witch girl and the green goblin in a more equal way. In the eyes of most wizards, this is a degrading behavior.
After all, this Greem has just become a wizard, and perhaps he hasn't gotten rid of his past life habits and attitude towards people and things. After he lived for a while and adapted to the life of a wizard, maybe it would change!
Wizard Angus comforted himself so much that he didn't take the initiative to correct the "mistake" of Wizard Greem.
The cargo that the floating battleship needs to load has already been prepared. When the number of wizards reaches the standard for sailing, the wizards who have been waiting in the airport for a long time will board the battleship one after another.
For the first time in his life, Greem saw so many wizards.
Even in the last war of planes, the Sarubo family almost came out in full force, and only twenty or thirty wizards could be seen on the battlefield. But today, wearing all kinds of robes, or leather armor, or special armor, wizards with strange looks gathered in front of them into a stream of people, quietly but orderly set foot on the floating boat through the boarding board. air battleship.
This... the shock to Greem made his mouth dry!
When you live in a narrow and small area, being a wizard can allow you to enjoy a luxurious life far beyond that of nobles. In the feasting banquet hall, you are the master of many nobles, big and small, vying to flatter you, and you are also the object of flattery by many charming ladies and gorgeous girls.
Drinking beauties, absolute power, all of these will make you think that you have really become the master of this world.
But when you step out of the cage you woven for yourself and come here, you will find that you are still as small as you just became a wizard apprentice.
