Feidnan City, Wizard Tower.
In the puppet hall of Greem's residence on the seventh floor, the place is still buzzing with people.
In the center of the hall, a majestic giant metal spider was crouching on the floor, and the densely packed scaffolding beside it was full of hard-working wizard apprentices.
After working day and night, the all-metal body of the spider puppet designed and built by Greem was finally completely completed. After the dwarf construction team withdrew, Greem recruited a large number of wizard apprentices from the Wizard Tower, and began to etch the runes of the spider puppets.
At this moment, the spider puppet is just an iron lump made of all metal. If it wants to make it obey its master's command like its arms and fingers, it needs to etch many control runes on its body, energy transmission lines, Strong runes, primary element resistance runes, consciousness control center, energy storage nodes...
The main body of the spider puppet is designed as a disc-shaped metal cockpit with a diameter of 5 meters. The outside is a half-meter-thick magic iron alloy shell, and the inside is all mechanical gear structures constructed by magic equipment. In this way, it can not only reduce the huge consumption of magic iron alloy, but also have the flexibility of limbs far surpassing that of ordinary golems.
Greem has referred to most of the golems and puppets of the Silver Alliance. In order to pursue higher sturdiness, they usually adopt the integral casting of all metal bodies. The golem created in this way has only a few sporadic joints that can move in a small range, sacrificing flexibility in exchange for indestructible super defense.
This kind of thinking cannot be said to be wrong, after all, the positioning of the golem in the Silver Alliance is to act as a metal shield used as cannon fodder. If you need a long-range attacker, you can hand it over to the element puppets, so these metal lumps don't need to be so flexible at all, as long as they are strong enough to withstand the impact of a large number of enemies.
When Greem created the spider puppet, he considered more about its all-terrain passing ability and battlefield auxiliary attack ability.
As for defense
Although the half-meter-thick magic-iron alloy cannot be indestructible, but if you want to use them to hurt Alice who is hiding in it, according to Greem's estimation, there are no stone puppets at the wizard level for a quarter of an hour. It is impossible to destroy the shell of a spider puppet.
And with this skill, the Flame Tyrant who cooperated with the spider puppet to fight may have turned the surrounding 1 mile into a terrifying sea of flames!
Therefore, after thinking about it, Greem felt that it was no longer necessary to strengthen the spider puppet's defense. Instead, it was necessary to improve its mobility and attack methods.
Otherwise, a swamp spell by the enemy may turn this gold-swallowing behemoth into a pile of immobile scrap iron.
In this regard, the multi-jointed, well-balanced spider form is the best choice!
Transforming a spider puppet is not a small project, most of the important runes and lines need to be etched in the interlayer of the metal inner wall. And the spider's many joints and joint feet also need to be etched with strong runes, sharp runes, and some other functional runes.
Only in this way can the damage of the local rune circuit lead to the failure of the entire spider puppet.
When Alice is hiding in the cockpit, there is a thick metal barrier, how she can control the surrounding movement in real time becomes a huge trouble. In order to solve this problem, Greem added a metal ball with a diameter of 1 meter to the front end of the disc-shaped metal cockpit of the spider puppet, then hollowed out the inside, filled it with many magic gems, and built it into a honeycomb-like cockpit. Spider head.
Exploration crystals, laser stones, giant rubies that can stimulate scorching rays, shield crystals that can activate protective force fields, and the two petrified pupils that can activate the power of petrification...
In short, in order to improve the survival and combat ability of the spider puppet, Greem searched his gem library and used all the magic gems that could be used. Not to mention the cost of the magic iron alloy needed to create the spider puppet, the value of these magic gems alone is no less than 30,000 magic crystals.
It can be seen from this that Greem has paid a huge price to ensure Alice's safety!
...
However, while Greem was busy in the puppet hall, Alice was leisurely playing with her divination.
Yes, just playing around!
After such a long period of exploration, Alice has gained a deeper understanding of divination. What kind of advantages and disadvantages does it have, what kind of shortcomings does it have, how to make full and effective use of divination... She has already answered these questions one after another.
First of all, there are no gods in the wizarding world.
This is the most important point!
The absence of gods means that there is no super 'life' above Alice's head that completely controls her.
Then the feedback that Alice can get every time she divination is not a gift from the gods, but the plane feedback brought to her by the laws of the plane based on some unknown rule power.
In other words, whenever she uses this kind of divination, what she deals with is not an extraordinary creature with super intelligence, but a cold and lawful system of planes without a trace of human emotion.
So in recent days, Alice has used up her divination quota every day, and then repeatedly tested this so-called plane law system.
It has to be said that for a little level 1 witch like her, the grandeur and rigor of the plane's law system has far exceeded her imagination.
For a divination request with the same content and at the same time, the information fed back to her by the law of the plane may be completely different, and sometimes the opposite. And the stronger the person involved in the divination request, the more vague the feedback information will be, and sometimes no feedback will be obtained.
In short, with Alice's current strength, she basically won't get any feedback when divination for wizards of level 2 and above. Even if the divination is occasionally successful, the information returned is mostly vague and difficult to use.
However, Alice's divination still played a big role when facing her opponent at the same level.
As an elite divination wizard, Alice's divination success rate is less than 30%, which also indicates that only 2 of the 5 divination quotas can be successful every day. When divination for ordinary wizards, Alice's success rate can reach 70%, and at least 3 of the 5 divination places are successful.
As for those characters below the wizard level, Alice has already reached the point of being sure.
And that Xuefu who could vaguely pose a threat to her was unfortunately a figure below the wizard level. So during this period of time, Alice, who has figured out the characteristics of divination, has become the most insidious little woman, hiding in her room every day to spy on the privacy of her future opponent.
Yes, that's peeping!
Basically, Alice's 5 daily divination quotas are all centered around this Xue Fu.
like what
What is the element of Xue Fu's natural affinity...
What kind of witchcraft is Shev good at...
What is Xuefu's personality like...
What kind of powerful witchcraft does Xue Fu have...
What are Shev's combat habits like...
If only these basic information were considered, Alice would be able to figure out the inside and outside of this competitor in less than three or four days. But after understanding all of these, the divination prayers behind Alice have become.
What is Xuefu's favorite color...
Shev takes a shower several times a day...
What is the size of Shev...
Xuefu goes to the toilet several times a day...
The year of menarche...
Do you have any experience with that...
…
As for this information, Alice will record it in a special notebook every time she succeeds in divination. So, relying on the puzzle of fate again and again, Alice spent a lot of time and energy, and finally outlined a vivid image of Xuefu in her mind.
Naturally friendly to the ice element, with outstanding talent potential, calm, intelligent, beautiful...
Xue Fu showed outstanding talent in ice and snow since she was a child, so she was specially sent to the territory of the Winter Witch by her grandmother Angelina who is a fourth-order witch, where she studied and grew up, until she became an awakened Fate Witch all these years Returned to the family territory.
Although her life is short, it contains many important elements that even Alice feels envious of. So the more she knew about her, Alice couldn't help falling in love with such a 'successful' girl.
How did Lovely know that because of her frequent harassment during this period, she was about to drive this competitor, Xuefu, crazy!
To be honest, without the identity of a candidate for the Witch of Destiny, it would be hundreds of thousands of miles away, and it would be impossible for Xue Fu to sense Alice's nonsense.
Two girls with different personalities and different destinies, one in the middle of the Wizarding Continent and the other in the northern part of the Wizarding Continent, are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles. But at this moment, they were forcibly twisted together by the force of fate.
Every time Alice successfully performed a divination related to Xuefu, no matter where Xuefu was in the far north, a cold current would suddenly flow from the depths of her heart. It seemed... It seemed like a cold ghostly hand penetrated into the skirt of her clothes, slowly groping over her body, digging into the secrets.
When she was meditating deeply in the ice cave, she would be interrupted by a sudden shock...
When she was practicing ice witchcraft, she would be interrupted by disturbed thoughts...
When she closed her eyes and took a nap, she would be awakened suddenly by an unexpected stimulus...
Even if she hid in her mother's wizard's tower, it was difficult to isolate this sudden panic from nowhere.
The first few days were fine, and this kind of uninvited disturbance was still somewhat regular. But after that, it was completely chaotic. It would come when eating, when sleeping, when meditating, and even when taking a shower and going to the toilet, it would appear inexplicably, which made her extremely annoyed but helpless.
Interferenced by inexplicable factors, Xue Fu's meditation progress has obviously slowed down a lot.
So, the unbearable Xue Fu finally walked into Agatha's hut.
