He took the wooden box, pushed it lightly, and opened a hidden compartment below.
Inside, a black stone lay there quietly.
Greem pinched it with his fingers and held it up in front of his eyes to watch silently. On his retina, through the powerful visual scanning capability of the chip, the black stone, which was originally only the size of a finger belly, was continuously enlarged and enlarged...
The first thing that catches his eyes is a series of strange grooves and patterns that are as fine as mosquitoes and flies. They are entwined and nested with each other, connected together with complicated and unusual rune lines, and together form small rune arrays. Once the free magic elements in the air touch the black stone, they will slowly blend into it, occasionally lighting up one or two adjacent rune arrays.
To be able to see this, Greem relied on the powerful capabilities of the chip to magnify the visual image a hundred times. Without the assistance of the chip, Greem would only see the black stone shining slightly, and it would be impossible to analyze its basic operating mechanism so intuitively.
Puppet stone, this is an exclusive material prohibited by the Silver Alliance from being sold, it can be used to temporarily activate some puppet structures. It is also one of the most frequently used consumables by esoteric wizards!
The puppet stone in front of me is only the size of a finger belly, and can only be used to activate some small puppet structures. If you want to activate large and medium-sized puppet structures like metal war puppets, you can only rely on the puppet heart.
If he hadn't visited the wizard tower of an alliance member, Greem wouldn't have been able to obtain this special controlled item.
"Chip, remember to keep records!" Greem ordered calmly.
"Drip, the file for the fifth experiment of the puppet stone has been established... Now start dynamic data capture..."
Greem crushed the puppet stone without hesitation.
Almost instantly, a large amount of white smoke diffused from the puppet stone.
These white smoke seemed to possess spiritual intelligence, they did not scatter in all directions, but gathered together, circling and flying in the air. Immediately, they discovered the existence of the wooden puppet, and then suddenly spun in the air, and slammed into the wooden puppet's body.
In the next second, the wooden puppet suddenly sat up on the stone platform like a life that was suddenly revived, and began to cough violently.
At the same time, Greem's various talisman arrays that had been painted on the wooden puppet with invisible materials in advance began to light up one after another, and appeared on the wooden puppet's yellow-brown wooden surface.
Most are lit.
Of course, there are some exceptions!
The crack on the wooden puppet's right leg obviously destroyed the integrity of the rune array there, and with a crackling sound, black smoke came out of the crack.
The activated wooden puppet climbed up from the stone platform with difficulty.
It can be seen that the badly damaged right leg makes its movements appear clumsy and slow.
I have to say that Greem's craftsmanship in making wooden puppets is really bad!
Whether it is the wire palm of the wooden puppet, the wooden frame skinned wings, or the body fixed by iron nails, it is simply like a handmade product made by an immature child. It is so rough that it is impossible to look directly at it. .
But under the activation of this strange white smoke, everything seems to be optimized!
The wooden puppet stood up with difficulty. While moving its creaking wrists, neck and shoulders, he pressed his chest with one hand and saluted respectfully: "Nice to meet you, my master! Billy the wooden puppet is reporting to you! "
It was an immature voice with a hint of a child's voice.
Although this is not the first time that Greem has seen a pile of "garbage" composed of wood, nails, wire, coils and pieces of cloth revived in front of him, and has a rudimentary intelligence not inferior to ordinary humans, but Greem's heart is still full of mistakes. A strange feeling of obscenity and absurdity.
This is really a strange world!
"Report your physical condition!" Greem gave the first order to the resurrected wooden puppet Billy.
"Uh..." Billy began to try to move his various body parts, and even flapped the 'wings' on his back twice to verify that they were still intact.
"Report to the master, this body is really bad enough."
"There seems to be something wrong with my heart, which makes me a little out of breath." The wooden puppet lightly hammered its chest with its 'iron hand', panting with difficulty.
Greem's eyes focused on the wooden puppet's chest, and through the finger-thick wooden shell, he clearly saw a magic crystal embedded in the talisman array. At this moment, the rune array has started to run crazily, constantly extracting basic magic power from the magic crystal and importing it into the rune circuit.
It's just that the places where the talisman arrays connect seem a little unsmooth, some talisman arrays are lit up, and some talisman arrays are still dim, which leads to some uncoordinated movements of the wooden puppets.
"Drip, the energy control center has been scanned! A total of 37 failure points were found, including 3 technical failures, 33 failures caused by poor manufacturing technology, and 1 failure caused by material deterioration... Final evaluation: energy utilization rate 24.18%..."
"If the manufacturing process is improved, how much will the energy utilization rate be improved?"
"Drip, after eliminating all material and process failures, the energy utilization is expected to reach 57.33%..."
"Why is it still so low? The energy utilization rate is just over half!" Greem asked suspiciously.
"The grade of materials is low, and the energy overflow is serious. If you want to continue to improve the energy utilization rate, it is recommended to use wooden puppets to make the following materials: Treant Core, Magic Iron Alloy, Magic Mithril..."
Damn, you get what you pay for!
Everyone understands this truth.
But wasting these precious resources on a wooden puppet for training, that would be such a prodigal!
Greem directly rejected the chip's prompt in his heart.
"Fly up and let me see!" Greem ordered.
The wooden puppet Billy immediately stood up, and the pair of ugly 'wings' behind his back began to flap rapidly. A gust of cool wind hit, and the wooden puppet began to slowly float up.
In Greem's elemental vision, the fluorescent brightness emitted by the energy center under the wooden puppet's chest immediately climbed three levels. Some rune arrays with conflicting energy lines immediately burst into dazzling fluorescence.
"Billy, stop flying immediately!" Greem saw that it was not good, and ordered hastily.
Unfortunately it was too late.
With a slight explosion, thick black smoke immediately rose from the wooden puppet Billy's body, and fine cracks were blasted out of his chest shell.
"Ah... I... can't... I'm going to... die!"
After a piercing and noisy scream, the body of the wooden puppet that had just floated to the height of Greem's head suddenly froze and twisted, and then fell obliquely.
Greem reached out and caught it.
The disfigured wooden puppet whose whole body was distorted and exploded coughed violently a few more times, and then stopped moving again. Immediately, that strange white smoke overflowed from the wooden puppet's body, and slowly drifted into the air.
Billy the Wooden Puppet is really dead!
A puppet life with rudimentary intelligence was born in less than 126 seconds and came to the end of its life!
The most important reason for its death was the shoddy construction of the wooden puppet's body. If, I mean, if Greem was a little careful in making this wooden puppet, he might be able to get Billy the wooden puppet forever.
However, such a wooden puppet with a crude body has no combat power or any special abilities, and it needs to replace the magic crystal in its body from time to time. To be honest, there is no use for such a low-level puppet creature!
Greem is not a child holding a doll and needing company. Even if such a false puppet life dies, it won't be able to cause even the slightest ripple in his heart!
Before the white smoke dissipated, Greem took the opportunity to collect another part.
So far, he has fully grasped the basic knowledge of puppet biological production, and the only thing he has not yet figured out is the operating principle of these puppet stones and the composition of white smoke.
How did they get inside the puppet construct? And how to control the talisman system? More importantly, where did the rudimentary intelligence they were born come from
This... is actually the core issue that Greem tried to figure out over and over again!
Greem, who has already been in contact with plane wars, is very clear that the essence of plane wars is aggression and plunder!
The wizards tried their best to find the coordinates of one world after another in the depths of the vast sea of stars, for what? Go there and say hello to the local aborigines, sit down and drink coffee and chat, and then talk about your ideals in life
Only those who are weak will have such naive and idealized imaginations!
It can attract wizards to cross the vast star sea for hundreds of millions of miles, risking being suppressed by the consciousness of the plane, and enduring the desperate siege of the local aborigines, because of the exciting and rich resources in each material plane And massive slaves!
Once a plane is established, the resources and population in this plane can be whatever they want.
If such wealth and resources are concentrated in the hands of a wizard, they can quickly develop and grow. There is no need to travel thousands of miles to find a little bit of resources, and there is no need to explore dangerous and terrifying ancient ruins just to earn magic crystals for purchasing materials.
Seriously speaking, nearly half of a wizard's life may be wasted on the road of collecting knowledge and resources running around!
To avoid this, one must have the basic strength to win a plane.
Individual strength is one kind!
And cluster strength is another kind!
With Greem's current strength, if he wants to invade other material planes, it's purely to give away his head!
Even on the material plane with the worst overall strength, there will still be powerful individuals with strengths as high as three or four levels. Although their strength may not be comparable to that of the wizarding world, it is still more than enough to crush a small level 1 wizard like Greem.
So the goal Greem set for himself was to strive to reach Tier 2.
Only by becoming Tier 2 can Greem reach the minimum strength threshold for invading the secondary planes!
And in order to assist the invasion, the one that can provide him with the greatest help is undoubtedly the puppet army, the magic puppet army. Only these loyal elemental creatures and puppet creatures will not have loyalty problems, and Greem can use them with confidence.
So for a long time to come, in addition to working hard to improve his own strength, Greem will also try to strengthen the combat power and number of Golems and Golems.
As for Mary, Alice, and Kirby, they were the "heroes" that Greem tried hard to pull into his camp.
The huge world of planes cannot be conquered by one person with bare hands. When necessary, Greem really needs to find some good helpers for himself!
