While Lelouch was prospering step by step in the free city, Yalin, the King of the White Dragon, was also struggling in the Yanold Mountains, which runs through the east and west of the continent in the far north. The city of Ulduar is developing with brains. You must know that the novice protection period is less than a year, and the city of Ulduar will face a war next.
Early this morning, Yalin took some time from his official duties and came to the Forger's Hall, because this was the last technical experiment of the Demon Knight prototype, and after the experiment, the Demon Knight would enter the mass production stage.
In the Forger's Hall, many relevant personnel are conducting final debugging work on four Demon Knight prototypes. On another test bench, Feili, who usually loves to sleep in, also arrived early in the morning and is holding a copy of The report was talking to a female elf mage.
On the platform just below Feili, the Titan-like Demon Knight was standing there quietly, surrounded by brackets that fixed the huge fuselage. The whole body is mainly painted in dark green, with a spiked spherical armor fixed on the left shoulder, and a heavy armor shield on the right shoulder. The design of the same round head and red one-eyed observation device. Fans from the same world as Yalin will recognize that the shape of this thing is derived from the most well-known machine in the Gundam series of animations - Zara. antiquity!
The appearance of the Demon Knight was initially defined as Zaku instead of Gundam. The main reason was that compared to the overly fancy Gundam, Zaku's appearance design was more suitable for cold weapon combat. After all, there is no beam gun to use in the other world, and even long-range weapons are extremely lacking. Even during the Dragon War ten thousand years ago, the main weapon of the Demon Knight was still melee weapons. Considering the speed of mass production, various Gundams with too fancy and gorgeous appearance were directly included. A group of researchers, including Yalin and mechanical pioneer Victor, denied it.
Considering that the imaginary enemy of the Demon Knight is mainly a dragon, the armor of this experimental machine is mainly made of King Kong, and the key parts are made of mithril. The main weapons are two-handed axes and two-handed hammers. It also comes with an interchangeable one-handed weapon and shield, and a short sword for melee combat is added inside the right shoulder shield. All weapons are made with mithril as the main body and inlaid with obsidian.
As a dragon king who has participated in the dragon war, Yalin knows very well that weapons made of ordinary steel have very little damage to dragons. It is slightly better if they are against some soft-scale dragons, but if they are against black dragons, white dragons, etc. Giant dragons with hard scales such as dragons, golden dragons, and red dragons would be very miserable.
Of course, making this set of weapons is expensive. Especially for obsidian, there are no obsidian veins in the Yanold Mountains and all of them must be exchanged through the system. The cost of a set of weapons alone is enough to make Yalin feel heartbroken.
"Ah~ Lin Lin, you are here."
Feili, who was on the platform, suddenly saw Yalin appearing in front of her. Leaving the elf mage who was still giving her instructions, the girl jumped over and ran over.
"I'm going to have to work hard for you today ~ Feili!" Yalin also happily patted Feili's little head.
"Lin Lin, what have you been busy with during this time? I haven't seen you for a long time."
If it weren't for the fact that it was in public. Feili might have jumped directly into Yalin's arms. Yalin is indeed very busy during this time. Since the currency issuance began, Yalin's government workload has also increased sharply. Not only Yalin, but also Schneizel and Luini are also very busy. Of course, now is not the time to chat about daily life. After a few chats, Yalin took Feili and found Victor beside the Demon Knight. This mechanical madman was personally conducting the final inspection on a Demon Knight. What’s interesting is that Yalin also saw Winry Rockbell who was in a state of mechanical madness beside Victor.
Coming from the world of steel, this childhood sweetheart of Edward Xiaodouzi was beside Victor at the moment, with an intoxicated look on his face and he was writing something quickly with his pen.
For a moment, Yalin felt a little uncomfortable disturbing these two mechanical maniacs who were still silent in their own affairs.
Victor is indeed worthy of his title as a mechanical pioneer, and Wen Li, who is also a fan of machinery, immediately became good friends after meeting Victor because of their shared interests, and they even had a somewhat resentful attitude towards meeting each other. After learning that Victor had completely transformed his body into a robot. Wen Li even showed him an expression as if she was worshiping a god. Then Wen Li, who fell into the craze of mechanical transformation, began to look at Edward with strange eyes more than once. That look was like she wanted to transform all the little beans. Like a robot, Edward recently avoided Winry because he was afraid of her over-enthusiasm.
Of course, it was impossible for Wenli to transform Edward into a robot in the end, because she absolutely had a NO attitude towards this kind of physical transformation of Yalin. After becoming an apprentice to Victor, Wenli not only learned a lot of advanced mechanical knowledge, but Victor also A set of tools for repairing and manufacturing mechanical armor was specially created for Wen Li to solve Wen Li's urgent need.
"Ah! It's Mr. Yalin, and little sister Feili~" Wen Li first noticed Yalin walking over, and Feili, who was shorter than herself.
Feili puffed up her face. Obviously he is very dissatisfied with the title "little sister".
"You came at the right time, Mr. Yalin!"
Victor also raised his head, and the mechanical arm holding the tool above his head also retracted behind his back: "Today you will see the most outstanding control system I have designed by myself. This new system can allow the Demon Knight to The power is increased by 15%!
"That's really exciting! But here I will also introduce you to a person. From today on, he will be the full-time driver of the Demon Knight you designed."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yalin stepped aside and made an inviting gesture. Behind Yalin, a young man in his twenties with blue hair and blue eyes wearing a military uniform walked up and gave Victor a military salute.
Yalin said with a rare hint of relief in his tone: "This is Qiligu Qiubi. Today he will replace the original driver for the Demon Knight test."
"Are you new?" Victor, who is not good at expressing emotions, said directly: "Although it is your recommendation, as a newcomer, no matter how talented you are, but it is your first time to form a Demon Knight, I am afraid that your adaptability is not as good as that of the previous pilots. The data derived this way are also inaccurate.”
"rest assured!"
Yalin said confidently: "Perhaps you will redesign the system to meet his abilities."
Qiligu Qiubey!
Of course, Kyubey here is not a bad salesman with a cute cat-like appearance. Anyone who is a fan of the "Robot Wars" series of games will never forget a character. The male protagonist from the original 1983 old anime "Armored Cavalry" was given the nickname "Inspiration Brother". More than ten years later, the male protagonist was dubbed by comic fans as a more awesome guy than the sister-in-law Touma. !
In representative works of mecha combat anime such as "Gundam", "Macross", "Full Metal Panic", "Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion" and other works, the protagonist, who is a pilot, drives a special super machine into the air. The plot of a battlefield where one enemy is against a hundred can be said to be the plot that runs through the entire work. In the future, many new mecha combat anime mostly use the same template, a super machine, a super pilot, and then they are invincible and can reverse the situation of the battle and win!
However, the 1983 "Armored Cavalry" completely subverted this clichéd plot. Here, as the protagonist, Qi Ligu Qiubey drove a mass-produced machine to crush and defeat one of the enemy's special machines. The machine and the special machine body, the kind of grasp of the battlefield situation and the extreme control of the machine body, instead of simply relying on the gap of the machine body itself to crush the enemy, completely deduced the feeling of a real super ace pilot in machine combat.
Some comic fans even directly commented that Qi Ligu was the first super hero actor to turn a real-type aircraft battle into a super-type aircraft battle. It was definitely because the pilot of a certain super-type aircraft battle had gone to the wrong studio.
It can be said that the strongest mecha pilot in Yalin's heart is definitely Qiligu Kyubey. As for the so-called strongest adjusters, revolutionaries, new humans, etc. in the Gundam series in the future, trouble! Everyone with plug-in machines, please stand aside and cool off!
After completing an auxiliary construction and receiving a lot of soul energy rewards, Yalin was lucky enough to summon Qiligu. Although Qi Ligu's potential cannot be compared with that of the Saint Heroic Spirits, his body posture talent is even higher than that of Shumu Suzaku. Now the summoning system has been stuffed into a large number by the evil creator 'Panda'. After a pile of discordant works, Yalin felt lucky to be able to summon Qiligu Qiubey, a normal anime character.
Under Yalin's recommendation, Viktom decided to let Qiligu try out the masterpiece he had worked so hard to design during this period. In apology, Yalin also let Qiligu read the information about the Demon Knight. You must know how to drive the Demon Knight. The method is completely different from the mecha codenamed "Glasses Dog" that Qi Li used to control. One is to sit inside and operate the control lever, and the other is to have complete mental connection and directly control the body with brain waves.
Qiligu, who didn't talk much, quickly entered the body with the help of the ground crew. After the internal magic circle was connected with Qiligu's spirit, the huge demon knight began to take heavy steps after the restraint bracket was released. As you walk, every step contains huge power, and just looking at it gives people a strong sense of intimidation.
"Qi Ligu, how do you feel?"
Looking at the demon knight who was still moving his limbs, Yalin stood below and waved his hand and asked.
Qi Ligu's voice came out through the external speaker. Victor also expressed his temporary helplessness about this problem. After all, the connection between human nerves and the whole body is natural, and the response of each neuron will be quickly reflected on the limbs. However, the Demon Knight is exquisite. Even if the mechanical pioneer Victor carefully designs the internal array and transmission system, the driver as an external object can never be 100% in sync with the body. When the driver tries to make a move, the Demon Knight body always Slow down just a little bit.
However, despite such a small flaw, it did not affect the overall performance of the Demon Knight. Soon, several other prototypes were launched, and the next phase of important experiments was about to begin. (~^~)
