Arcane Journey

Chapter 24 Spirit Crystal Servant
in the group of casters.

The most typical wizards and warlocks usually have their own familiars to serve as assistants or scouts, and psions also have similar partners.

It's just that it's not a magical beast, but an ultra-small astral construct created with psionic-friendly materials such as astral crystals, natural deep crystals, or magic crystals, which is the so-called 'spiritual crystal servant'.

For Brian who lost his magic pet, he naturally would not let go of the opportunity to make a Psionic Crystal Servant.

Moreover, in the field of psionic energy, only psions who are proficient in the creation department can maximize the value of psi crystal servants.

He didn't waste any more time, first checked the illusion and the warning circle he had arranged at the entrance of the cave, and immediately began to concentrate on making his own spiritual crystal servants.

Following the control of his mind, the celestial crystal in Brian's hand was wrapped in energy, trembling and suspended in mid-air.

In an instant, under the influence of psionic power, this dark blue crystal gradually melted into a pulsating dark blue liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Estoplasmic crystals are usually shaped from the original astral material ingested by psions in the astral world, which is a kind of astral material extracted into the physical world.

However, with the emergence and mining of natural deep crystals and magic spar in the material world, there are very few psionic professionals to consume their own energy and extract astral materials.

Because this kind of deep crystal in the material world can also be transformed into the astral material it needs to make psionic equipment or constructs.

The most important thing is that the entire transformation process will not consume one's own energy.

After all, for any spellcaster, energy is an extremely important attribute, and the most fundamental manifestation of excessive energy consumption is aging.

Therefore, very few people make fun of their vitality.

However, this is not a big problem for Brian.

Psions like him, who are so hard-pressed that they can't afford deep crystals, can completely consume their own experience points to extract astral crystals from the astral world, which saves him a lot of extra costs.

Of course, that being said, when he started to extract ectoplasmic energy, the moment he saw the rapidly expended experience points, he instantly experienced what it meant to be heartache, and his heart almost sank to the bottom of the valley.

So much so that he directly canceled the idea of ​​making an astral construct, and could only temporarily make his own spiritual crystal servant first.

Because just a fist-sized celestial crystal consumes more than 3000 experience points, and the experience and time it takes to make an celestial construct are not mentioned for the time being. With his current situation, it is really unimaginable. .

After all, his first goal now is to raise the level of Battle Mage and Psion as soon as possible.

The higher the level, the stronger the strength, and the speed of gaining experience points will naturally be accelerated, so naturally you can't make such a choice of looking far away.

The plan to make astral constructs can only be considered when returning to the surface, or when there is a chance to get a large number of natural deep crystals in the dark area.

Brian saw that the ectoplasmic energy had completely melted into a liquid state. He immediately mobilized his psionic power and began to imagine a blueprint of a psicrystal servant in his mind to perfectly shape it.

This is the hallmark of creation psions when crafting constructs.

They don't need all kinds of cumbersome processes such as processing, carving, assembly, etc. like when wizards make golems.

For a psion who is proficient in the creation department.

Astral crystals are their raw materials for creation, and his consciousness is the mold, forge and lathe, driven by his own ideas alone, he can create a flawless astral construct.

Of course, they also have very significant disadvantages.

That is the construct made by the psion. It is impossible to build its own golem factory and turn it into an assembly line mass production like a wizard's golem.

It is precisely because of this that the single combat capability of the astral construct is highlighted.

usually.

A psion who is proficient in the creation department can only control three or four astral constructs at most.

The main reason is that each astral construct is equivalent to their own idea, which is simply an incarnation in easy-to-understand terms.

Arcanists who master higher creations and magical creations do just the opposite.

If resources are sufficient, they can even command a large army of golems.

Overall, both have their own advantages.

For Brian, who is proficient in both, it is equivalent to completely making up for his own shortcomings.

This is also the fundamental reason why he is obsessed with advanced arcanists.

Among the group of spellcasters, compared with most advanced professions, arcanists are not among the group with the strongest combat effectiveness.

Because this profession is not born to fight alone, the real horror of them lies in the speed of technological advancement.

Often at the beginning of the battle, they directly ride the floating city docked on the demiplane to the enemy's face, then tear open the portal, throw in the army of constructing golems, a wave of flattening, and a perfect ending.

The enemy can't even see the exhaust of the floating city.
This is the correct way to open a well-developed grand arcanist.

However, the fact is that Bryan has never seen or heard of the grand arcanists fighting in waves.

This is entirely based on his imagination based on the modern weapons facilities he has seen, and the direction of his future efforts.

After all, the phrase 'Boldly Conceive, Carefully Prove', in his opinion, has always been the most correct strategy and development direction in the field of arcane innovation.

Moreover, he believes that if he really obtained the knowledge of the introduction to arcane arts, magic creation, advanced creation, and plane mechanisms recorded in the scrolls of Nether, which were not fully understood during the period of the arcane empire, as well as the knowledge contained in the seven secrets of Imasca. Mechanical civilization, and then solve the follow-up energy problem.

This 'bold vision' is not entirely impossible.

It's just that the process of accumulation is more difficult, and it's even very possible that the arcane art will be difficult to advance due to some completely lost and faulty knowledge.

He stopped thinking about it, and immediately concentrated on the task at hand.

For Brian, shaping the astral energy was not as difficult as imagined.

Work in a while.

A blueprint that had been designed in his mind a long time ago appeared vividly in front of his eyes.

The appearance of this palm-sized spirit crystal servant is a combination of a standing cat image and a dark blue crystal shell. The overall appearance resembles an astronaut today, full of a sense of future technology.

Looking at the cute psionic servant, he nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately, he took out two black crystals the size of rice grains from the dimensional bag, and carefully manipulated them with the telekinesis ability, and embedded them into the two empty eyes of the spirit crystal servants, acting as two shining black pupils.

This is a shining diamond, crystal clear, like a diamond in a crystal.

Its main function is to increase the speed of concentration of psicrystal servants, and it also has a certain resistance to negative energy.

These two expensive diamonds were collected by him with the cheek to ask Santilla to help him.

In fact, he just casually added this material to the list of spell-casting materials he needed with an attitude of giving it a try.

He thought that when the other party collected these materials, they would be discouraged by the price, but what he didn't expect was that this drow girl was really real, and she got it for him boldly, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Otherwise, his plan to make psi crystal servants would be postponed indefinitely due to insufficient materials.

With the inlay of two shining spirit diamonds, this palm-sized spirit crystal servant, under the soft light, flashed a pair of bright black pupils, which seemed to come alive.

But Brian is very clear that the entire production process is far from over, because there is still a most critical step waiting for him to complete.

Next, he needs to endow the Psionic Crystal Servant with a fragment of his own personality, so that it can develop a sense of autonomy that is loyal to its master.

The completion of this step can be regarded as the real creation of the miniature astral structure of the "Spirit Crystal Servant".
