After exploring for a period of time, Greem has vaguely discovered some golem techniques.
Crocodile Hunter is a high-level puppet, and every time he uses it, he will occupy 2 points of mental power. This occupation will always exist as long as the puppet is still active. A quasi-witch-level puppet like the rock python needs 3 points of mental power. This also means that if Greem fights with all his strength, with his 11 points of spiritual power (noble headband +1), he can only maintain 1 crocodile hunter and 2 rock pythons on the field at the same time.
After all, he still needs to reserve some mental power to cast the necessary witchcraft.
And this is the best configuration achieved after the chip has undergone precise calculations and special witch array control, which greatly reduces the puppet's mental power requirements for the main body. If it was replaced by an ordinary magic puppet creature, Greem's mental strength would only support the fighting needs of a rock python.
The reason for this situation is that one of the most important reasons is caused by the characteristics of the puppet itself.
Golems are different from common golems.
The golem is a humanoid puppet that has been built using a lot of rare resources in advance. Due to its huge body, there is enough space on the surface of the golem to engrave various spell runes and special witch formations. Of course, the spiritual needs of the puppet creatures created in this way will be minimized to the controller.
Even in many cases, the controller only needs to issue the simplest combat instructions to the golem during the battle, and then they can completely let go.
But the puppet is different. Before the golem was summoned, it didn't have a fixed body at all, and its appearance was more similar to a magic call, except that the object of the summoning changed from a random creature from another world to a fixed golem. This is also the main reason why the golem's appearance must consume Greem's mental power.
Moreover, golems don’t have the huge body of golems for creators to use their talisman abilities at will. They want to etch enough control shamanism and energy systems in the small space like eggs and pigeon eggs in the elemental crystal nucleus. , it is simply an extremely harsh torture for the creator's puppet making level.
To be honest, Greem was able to create such a powerful rock python golem with the help of the chip, which is already a staggering and amazing achievement.
Combining the combat power of the two, the golem with a special body is undoubtedly much higher than the temporarily summoned golem. But from the beginning to the end, Greem only made golems and never used golems. The main reason was... Golems were too big and took up too much space, making them inconvenient to carry.
Take the lowest-level clay golem as an example. A clay golem without any witchcraft equipment will weigh 600 pounds (about 600 catties) and stand up to 8 feet (about 2.4 meters). Such a big man is powerful, but how can Greem bring him into the battlefield
You know, such a big guy is difficult to fold and carry even if it is not in a combat state. Moreover, their huge self-weight consumes sorcery energy extremely, so the space-free magic elements absorbed by themselves alone are not enough to supply their own battle needs.
Therefore, golems with fixed bodies can only exist as guardians of wizard towers or magic facilities. They usually stay motionless in hidden spaces to minimize their own magic consumption. And when they are needed to fight, the pre-set early warning mechanism will activate them and release them to repel or annihilate the invaders.
And all of this requires the huge energy reserves inside the wizard tower as support.
Therefore, these characteristics determined that the current Greem could only rely on golems to fight. After all, carrying a crystal nucleus the size of an egg is much more concealed and convenient than carrying an earth-shaking alchemy puppet everywhere.
Therefore, in order to improve the golem's support to him as much as possible, Greem continued to tap the golem's potential in combat on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also working hard to improve his spiritual power. After all, one's mental strength is related to the number of golems who will play in future battles.
Therefore, on the fourth day after safely returning to the wizard's tower, Greem tried his best to improve his physical fitness to 3.82, and then took the concentration potion again. This time, Greem received a 0.70-point increase in mental power, which has attenuated a lot compared to the 0.75-point increase last time.
Continuing to take the same type of magic potion, the effect will become worse and worse until it is completely ineffective against the target. This is a normal phenomenon that has been studied in depth by wizards, but there is nothing they can do about it.
The main reason for all this is the existence of drug resistance. When the same type of magic potion is used continuously, it will accumulate in the body difficult to remove drug effect residues, thereby reducing the magic effect of the same type of potion. Although this process is gradual, it is also real.
Therefore, after taking the concentration potion this time, Greem's basic physical data is as follows.
Strength 4.12, Dexterity 4.35, Physique 3.17, Mental Power 11.14.
Compared to last time, Greem's mental strength increased by 1.07 points. Among them, 0.70 points are brought by the concentration potion, and the other 0.37 points are brought by the uninterrupted mana package and daily meditation. According to preliminary statistics, this 1.07-point increase is converted into magic crystals, and the value is about 350-400 magic crystals.
The appearance of this data also made Greem completely believe that a successful wizard apprentice is indeed made of piles of magic crystals.
...
It was noon of the day, after a morning of hard sales, Kirby, the most successful goblin merchant in Wizard Tower, returned to his residence with brisk steps.
Since it found its first pot of gold in Greem, Kirby rented a room next to the owner's residence as his own den. Every day, it only needs to report the results of the day to the owner at night, and then it can live a relaxed life for a day.
Sleep until you wake up naturally, count money until your hands cramp.
To be honest, such a pleasant day is the most perfect life it has always dreamed of. However, this dream didn't come true around that second-tier wizard, and it didn't come true during the days of wandering underground, but it came true after following a wizard apprentice by accident.
So these days it's just crazy, busy all day long.
Soaking in the apprentice market during the day, constantly using his eloquence and talent to earn a steady stream of magic crystals. After eating Hesai's delicious food at night, he nestled in his humble den and counted the magic crystals he earned during the day over and over again. It can be said that it falls asleep sweetly with piles of magic crystals in its arms every night.
But the clever Kirby also understands that it is the mysterious master behind it who can give it all of this. Without the financial support and complete decentralization of the mysterious master, a green-skinned goblin like it, which is looked down upon by all wizard apprentices, has no right to yell among a group of apprentices.
Don't look at those junior apprentices talking sweet words around it every day, but from the depths of their eyes, Kirby can still see the contempt and contempt that cannot be hidden. What they respect is not it, but the mysterious master hidden behind it.
A smart goblin, even if he has extraordinary talent, but if he doesn't have a strong master as his backing, the only end is to be stepped on the ground, branded on his face as a slave, and thrown into a dark and damp dungeon , eating people's food scraps all day long, but doing hard and tiring heavy work.
The reason why Kirby knew all this was because it lived such a life before it was selected as the experimental material of the wizard!
Comparing the two, although the current master is not as powerful as the previous master, since it fell into such a life mode, it has never had the idea of escaping. Even in many cases, it is still delusional. It would be great if this kind of life could be maintained forever!
With infinite reverie, Kirby opened the door of the residence with the help of the rune token and witchcraft cipher text on his waist. But as soon as it took a step into the room, it was staggered by a strong bloody aura.
In just one morning, its residence turned into a bloody and terrifying slaughterhouse. But its dear and beloved mysterious owner was standing in front of a bloody dissecting table, scrutinizing a completely dissected strange body.
Just looking at the scalpel in his hand, the blood-stained deerskin gloves, and the blood-spattered white robe, it can be seen that he is busy with an anatomical experiment.
It seems that the owner is also a beginner in biological anatomy.
Although he hadn't dissected living things himself, after staying in the laboratory of a second-level wizard for a long time, Kirby also had far richer knowledge of biological structure and anatomy than Greem. If it were a skilled necromancer apprentice, he would never have made such a bloody dissection exercise.
Where to cut the knife and how to avoid the blood vessels of living things, these are the basic skills of an apprentice of the undead system, it is absolutely impossible to make himself so embarrassing. So Kirby dared to assert that his master must be the first time to dissect the body of this living creature.
As the master's loyal servant, how can he just sit back and watch the master's embarrassment at this time!
Moving a small wooden stool, Kirby climbed on it and began to actively help the master to make suggestions, and even moved the body of the lizard man himself to facilitate the cutting of the master's scalpel.
Unknowingly, Kirby turned into an instructor with good knowledge of witchcraft, and began to guide Greem's first anatomy practice consciously or unconsciously. Of course, due to the patience of the teachers and the earnestness of the scholars, neither of them noticed that there was anything wrong with this.
So, with Kirby's "assistance", Greem successfully completed his first anatomy exercise.
It wasn't until Greem took off the thin deerskin gloves with satisfaction, and threw them together with the white robe on his body into the trash can next to the operating table, that the green leather goblin Kirby suddenly realized his "overstepping", and hurriedly jumped off the wooden stool Squatting by the side and waiting for the master's punishment.
"You did a good job today. It seems that you have learned a lot from that second-level wizard, so I will be assisting in all my structural and anatomical exercises in the future." Greem smiled gently: " Get up! Do you think I will punish you for doing nothing wrong for a little vanity? Well, tidy up here, it's time for lunch again!"
Throwing away the sundries in his hands, Greem hurriedly returned to his residence, leaving only Kirby with a confused face.
Looking at the bloody "slaughterhouse" behind him, sniffing the pungent bloody smell, Kirby turned his head half a circle, and finally understood the reason why the master didn't put the dissecting table in his house.
Dare to be afraid of affecting your appetite!
Such a host is really special. Kirby thought quietly.
