Field Wilderness, East Coast.
The weather is very good today, with a gentle breeze, golden sunshine, and many seagulls moored on the white sandy beach. Because of the disappearance of the super storm, a layer of greenery has been covered in places where the tide cannot reach, and several coconut tree seedlings are growing Flying in the wind.
"Hey, old guy, wake up, it's dawn." Link walked to the beach and lightly kicked a skeleton foot exposed in the white sand.
A few seconds later, a muffled voice came from under the beach: "Are you here alone? Aren't you afraid of being suspected of your whereabouts?"
Now that Link's identity is different from the past, and his every move is watched, it is impossible for him to hide his whereabouts. This is also a small worry for the superiors.
Link smiled and said, "I came with Celine, and I'll accompany her to practice marksmanship."
'Clatter' The white fine sand flowed to one side, and a white skeleton sat up from the beach. Waynes said in a tone that had just woken up: "Sniper skills? What gun skills?"
What answered him was a stream of water splashes that suddenly exploded on the sea surface. The water splashes were very strange and linear, cutting through the waves and extending for more than 50 meters before disappearing.
Guided by this waterline, Wayans looked in the opposite direction, and saw Celine wearing a capable gray leather armor above a rock in the distance, waving the sunshade leather hat in his hand towards him.
"During this time, Celine will practice marksmanship here and monitor the surrounding situation at the same time, so don't worry about being found out about us." Link smiled, this little thing won't bother him.
"Okay, then I'm relieved." Waynes stood up from the beach, and then took out a large black robe and put it on himself. In this way, even if someone saw Link and him from afar Together, Link also has room for interpretation.
"Come on, the view here is too wide, it's inconvenient, let's go to the cave and talk." Waynes walked towards the cave by the beach.
Link followed behind him and said, "Old guy, I've read a lot of elves' puppet magic books recently, which introduced a kind of flesh and blood puppet. The body of that kind of puppet can be completely faked, and ordinary people can't tell the difference at all. Maybe I I can make one for you."
Wayans waved his hand: "I just like lying on the beach and sleeping, and I'm not interested in anything else."
Link continued: "This kind of body is very delicate and has all the sensations of a physical body. You can experience the taste of food again, you can feel the weather, and you can even find a partner..."
Before finishing speaking, Wayans stopped: "There is no such thing as a puppet in the world!"
He is so lifeless now, not because he has lost the feeling of the physical body, and he is unwilling to fall into the darkness and pursue the pleasure of darkness and evil, so when he is free, he can only lie on the beach and sleep to kill endless time.
But if he had this kind of fine puppet body, he would experience the feeling of having a flesh and blood body again... Tsk tsk, he almost forgot that feeling, vaguely, he only remembered that it was very, very wonderful, and it was worth everything he had in exchange for it.
"Humans don't have it, but high elves do. They have tens of thousands of years of history, countless geniuses, countless wisdom, and I already know the specific production method..."
"Okay, I want such a body, what should I do?" Wayans was very straightforward.
Link said: "I haven't finished yet, such a puppet body needs to pay a price."
"What price? I can pay any price, as long as I have."
"First of all, this flesh and blood puppet is very fine. If you want to truly experience its beauty, your soul must be closely integrated with it. This is the first step to obtain fine senses, and this method is irreversible. In other words, you Once you enter the puppet, you will not be able to get out."
"I have a delicate feeling. I am still willing to come out after I go in? This is not a problem at all!"
"There is a second point." Link continued: "Because of the tight bond, once the puppet is damaged, your soul will also be damaged. You will be born, old, sick and die just like ordinary people. Unless you can wear away your soul Only by becoming strong enough, even igniting the divine fire, can we gain eternal life again."
Any choice comes with a price, and that's the balance of Ferroman's world. At present, only artifacts can partially break this balance.
However, Wayans didn't hesitate at all. He chuckled: "What's the difference between me being like this and being dead? It's worth it to get back a flesh and blood body, experience the joy of life, and live a lifetime again!"
Link wasn't surprised at all, and said with a smile, "Okay, after we fix Nana, I'll help you build a new body."
When he arrived in the cave, Link found that the place had been widened by Waynes, and turned into a cave with a diameter of more than 10 meters and a height of more than 3 meters. It was still very cool inside.
In the center of the cave, there is a large flat and smooth stone platform. There are several transparent caves above the stone platform. Below the caves are several refracting lenses. On the stage, the principle is somewhat similar to the shadowless lamp on the earth.
"A very good enchanting table." Link praised.
"Hehe, I did it randomly when I had nothing to do. Well, I know that Nana must be damaged, and the pieces are broken. Take it out and let me have a look."
Link took out Nana's fragments from the space pendant one by one and placed them all over the enchanting table: "She was hit on the back by the artifact Dark Snake, and everything was broken except for her head. I checked , the puppet heart in her head is only slightly damaged, and it should be repairable."
Waynes didn't speak. He looked carefully at the fragments on the table, especially those directly drawn by the artifact. He looked very carefully. After a long time, he shook his head and sighed: "As expected of a god's weapon, powerful, really powerful !"
As he said that, he took Nana's head again, and at the same time, a Higgs magic force field appeared in his hand. With a little force, the shell of Nana's head was removed, and a deep blue crystal fell out from inside. .
This crystal is about the size of two fists, and the inside of the crystal is densely filled with countless runes of light and shadow. It is so dense that it is connected into one piece. When you look at it suddenly, it looks like pieces of white cotton wool appearing inside the crystal. generally.
Wayans said with emotion: "When I first made Nana, there were only more than 1,000 rune halos in her Golem Heart, but now, after hundreds of years of self-study, the number of rune halos has increased by ten. Times. Look at these flocs, here are Nana’s battle experience recorded here, I have observed it, and I found that in these hundreds of years, Nana repelled at least 200 waves of invaders in order to protect my underground palace , the strongest one among them is a peak level 9 assassin, well, look, the name of this level 9 assassin is also recorded here, his name is Murphys."
Link was taken aback.
Murphys? Isn't this the boss of the Syndicate, the shadow walker who is at the peak of legend and half-step godhead
He was defeated before, and after so many years, he never came back to take revenge. Although this may be because Murphys was delayed by other things, it also indirectly shows Murphys' fear of Nana .
This Nana is really outrageously strong.
"Well, look here, there is a crack, the puppet's heart is still a little damaged, but fortunately, it didn't hurt the key structure, and it can be repaired."
As he said that, the light of the magic force field appeared in Wayans' hand, ready to repair the crack, but was stopped by Link.
"Wait, don't worry." Link took out a large scroll, spread it out in the open space of the enchanting table, and then input magic energy to trigger it.
There was a soft sound of '嗡~', and a very clear light and shadow appeared above the scroll, which was the detailed structure of the puppet's heart. Link pointed to the light and shadow and said, "I have a lot of new ideas, and I think we can improve it like this Nana, but I haven't practiced these ideas yet, so I don't know if they are feasible, can you see if these ideas are possible?"
Wayans didn't reply, he was already absorbed by the light and shadow in the air, he walked round and round around the light and shadow, carefully observing each rune structure in it.
After half an hour, he pointed to a fine structure and asked, "I don't understand something here, what's the use of it?"
"This is a fuzzy intelligence structure, which was thought up by a legendary magician of the high elves. Its function is to soften the purely logical structure in the golem's intelligence."
"Softening?" Wayans still didn't understand.
"Yes" Link nodded and continued to explain: "For example, if I ask Nana how much is one plus one, she will only answer two and not any other answers. But after adding this fine structure, Nana may choose to refuse to answer this question." It’s a simple and mindless question. Its greatest use is to prevent Nana’s puppet intelligence from falling into an endless loop of logic.”
Wayans fell into deep thought: "Is there an infinite loop? I have considered this and dealt with it accordingly, but it is not perfect. I feel that your structure is perfect. This problem should be completely solved. Not bad, very Yes, the high elves are really powerful!"
He continued to watch, and time passed quickly. After more than 3 hours, Wayans finally finished watching, and he sighed: "Compared with your puppet intelligence, the one I designed is like a sieve, full of loopholes, Na Na can live to this day, I think luck accounts for a large part of the reason."
Link shook his head: "It's not that exaggerated. Nana's real strength lies in her hundreds of years of accumulated combat experience, which is a priceless treasure. Everything else is just auxiliary. I designed This structure is only to better assist Nana to exert her maximum strength."
As he said that, Link took out another scroll and input the magic energy again, and light and shadow appeared in the air again, this time it was the structural parts of Nana's body.
Wayans watched carefully. He had a lot of experience in making puppets, and he quickly found several flaws.
Link stood beside him, and after Wayans pointed out the flaws, he began to try to modify it. From time to time, he and Wayans discussed the idea of modification.
Don't look at Wayans' depressed and unlovable appearance now, but in his era, he was also a top genius.
The two exchanged their thoughts very smoothly. One by one, new ideas and inspirations kept popping up like bubbles in boiling water, and each flaw was quickly resolved by the two.
Time flies, and soon the sky darkened, and Link had to go back. Wayans said with a deep feeling: "I don't know how long it has been so happy. Sigh, I was born 1000 years ago. If you were here, I would study Why is it so painful when you are fighting!"
Link also felt very happy. He smiled and said: "There are still many key issues that have not been resolved. If there is no delay tomorrow, I will come here on time at ten o'clock in the morning. If I can't make it, I will also ask Celine to come and inform you."
"Okay, I can't wait for tomorrow."
After saying goodbye, Link turned and left the cave by the sea. When he got outside the cave, he saw Celine practicing her sword skills on the beach.
Link's heart moved when he saw it: "Celine's fighting spirit is still very weak now. Although the big musket is very powerful, it will be very dangerous if the hiding point is exposed. You must have a weapon for self-protection in close combat... Short guns should be good." '
Thinking of this, Link decided to get Celine two more short guns with high power and high rate of fire for melee defense when he was free.
Seeing that Celine was practicing seriously, Link said hello: "Let's go, I'm going back."
"Alright." Celine put away her sword.
"Run out of bullets?" Link asked.
"Only 150. It's long gone." Celine spread her hands, regretting that the shooting felt very refreshing, but there were too few bullets.
"Tomorrow, I will try to prepare as many bullets as possible for you..." Link felt that he had to think of a labor-saving way to make bullets, otherwise it would be too tiresome to repeat the production all the time.
"Okay, okay." Celine was very happy.
The coast was not far from Scorched Earth Ridge, and the two quickly returned to the camp. When they reached the gate of the camp, they saw Gridan coming up to them.
Seeing that his face was not looking good, Link shuddered and asked, "What happened?"
Gridan took out a letter: "My lord, MI3 has sent an urgent document from the battlefield, and the outside of the envelope is covered with a picture of a blood-dripping sword."
Now Link is already the core figure of the Norton Kingdom. He enjoys the same intelligence authority as Dean Anthony. Any situation on the battlefield will be sent to him.
And if there is a picture of a blood-dripping sword on the outside of the envelope, it means that the news in the letter is very important, even related to the general trend of the war. Gridan also knew this.
This shows that there are likely to be some changes that are very unfavorable to the kingdom on the northern battlefield.
