Chapter 164: 164
In the Holy Tower of Seven Rings, at Grimm's Demon Castle .
The Gnaw prepared mouth-watering dishes under the Little Myna's orders, while the Rain-dew Flower Spirit had entirely become the Little Myna's lackey, completing all the strange orders of this picky person whose determination to stay in command was ever so strong .
Anything from giving the palm tree a bath, cleaning out the dust stuck in between ceilings, mowing the garden to fertilizing the garden…
Under his control, the two poor Rain-dew Flower Spirits barely had any free time, running around here and there like busy bees, but somehow the Myna still managed to think of new things for them to do .
The most peaceful place in the castle, is none other than Grimm's laboratory .
With a big and comfortable coat fitted on his body, Grimm held a carving knife finer than a needle, and engraved detailed runes on a lava crystal under a microscope, his body still as a statue . Even with both hands on the knife, he needed all the concentration to finish the task .
That was why other than breathing, Grimm made no unnecessary movements, like a sorcerer in the midst of deep thoughts .
The habit of directly using the ancient sorcerer's voodoo scrolls had left Grimm with some extra hours for his own research, and the research that took up most of his time was of course— Destructive Energy .
After a long time spent on planning, for the sake of researching Destructive Energy, Grimm created an experiment to observe the energy's nature .
The theory of the experiment was as follows:
There was no way or method that he knew of that could observe Destructive Energy, and there was no way to collect them, but it was because of that reason that it reacted to anything that had destructive elements . That was why one of Grimm's plans was to create a container packed with a sticky substance, and then trigger the energy from inside, from then on observe the basic nature from the gaps and traces that were left behind, allowing him to continue on with the next stage of the research .
This summed up Grimm's initial plans to research Destructive Energy, known as—The Knowledge of Destructive Energy .
This surface-level research was the same as ancient sorcerers observing the common functions of the fire element, and soon discovered the nature of the heat and light that the fire element emitted .
Even so, the equipment required by Grimm for the primary steps of obtaining information regarding the Destructive Energy itself needed at least fifteen years for him to invent!
Grimm named the equipment in his plan as the "Destructive Energy Reaction Log" .
The Destructive Energy Reaction Log was divided into two parts .
The first part was the main part, a high density adhesive . This type of adhesive had certain requirements such as a high density volume, high resistance to energy, clear and transparent substance and an ability to change colors for easier observation of the reaction .
Of course, the invisible requirement here was that the creation of the equipment had to be as low cost as possible .
For this type of adhesive, Grimm had a few ideas in mind, one of them was to buy the rare materials directly, but it would be costly . Another plan was to use his alchemy abilities and medicinal knowledge to slowly mix them, transforming a type of slime known as Dolus into an ideal density .
The second part of the Destructive Energy Reaction Log, was to balance the fire and water element clashes to form a foundation .
The Destructive Energy according to Grimm's idea, was to be a cylinder with a height and a diameter of one meter respectively . Except for the balancing seal on the hard crystal glass around the cylinder, the foundations above and below were made of six energy reactor magic nodes forming the clashing of two water and fire elemental magic circles, and thus forming the Destructive Energy .
The energy reactor nodes on the foundations, specifically the fire elemental nodes, were the ones that Grimm currently had under the microscope using a sharp carving tool to carve the lava crystal . Based on his estimation, he would need at least a year to complete a single energy reactor rune, and the fire and water elemental foundations required twelve magic reactor nodes in total .
As for the energy balancing seal on the hard crystal glass, Grimm had absolutely no research done on that, so he had to pay a Daemon to go to the Holy Tower of Seven Rings to commission it as a quest .
The whole process was really time consuming, and taking accidents that might happen into consideration, Grimm estimated that after fifteen years, his ideal design of the Destructive Reaction Log would be created .
However . . .
Grimm was already an officially advanced sorcerer, fifteen years to a sorcerer apprentice might be a long time, but for an advanced sorcerer's long lifespan, it was negligible .
The resting time for a Demon Hunter in between quests could be as long as two hundred years .
This was the difference in the nature of a sorcerer and an apprentice .
How an apprentice viewed the development of a situation would depend on how long their lifespans were . They could only see what was expected to happen in the time dimension, and this time dimension could go for as long as a few months or a few years . If they could see any further into the future, they were considered to have extraordinary far-sighting abilities and knowledge .
In the sorcerer area here, however, a simple magic principle research might take up to ten years in the blink of an eye . The knowledge that the sorcerer gained within that time span alone could easily take over the apprentice's foresight abilities .
For example, the Purple Tulip family "stole" Grimm's formula for the Love Vials .
***
A few months later…
With a table filled with delicious dishes as per usual, the Gnaw that had finished his work diligently stood at the side, staring at Grimm and the Myna who were tasting the results of his hard work .
