Chapter 214: Deception
Years later, when Grimes recalls the nonsensical trial in the original workshop, he still sighs.
First, because he has never seen a rider with such a reckless fighting style, nor has he ever seen a rider who is so beautiful and able to fight.
And what's more important is that this air rider is still a boy.
If it's a girl, that would be great.
The puppet's knife startled Xie Luo and grabbed Grimes' arm tightly.
Just when she thought that this knife would kill Tsukizakura, the puppet slashed out the second and third slashes.
"He's still alive...... Grimes looked a little bad, "the puppet is set to completely kill enemies that come within its attack range." β
The smoke and dust from the puppet's attack blocked the trio's view, and they had no way of observing Tsukizakura's current condition, except to see the puppet constantly swinging its huge blade, slashing at the place where Tsukizakura stood.
Sheila lost interest in watching the battle after a few seconds, instead focusing on Shero and Grimes, and smiled knowingly.
After a layer of ash fell from Xie Luo's hair, the puppet finally stopped its attack - not because its target was dead, but because it had been too long and overheated.
It took a few steps back, spewing hot steam from the cracks in its armor to cool its body.
Although the puppets are tireless, if the joints are overheated if they work for too long, it will affect their lifespan, so many puppets will have their own cooling systems to avoid sudden death of limbs during battle.
"Tsukizakura...... Is it okay?" Xie Luo asked weakly, biting her finger.
Sheila didn't answer because she couldn't see.
The smoke cleared, revealing the true face of the place where it had been attacked.
The first thing they saw was the short sword that Tsukizakura raised, and it was obvious that all the puppet's attacks were blocked by this short sword, and as a result, half of Tsukizakura's body was hit into the floor by the power of the puppet, just like a nail hit by a hammer.
Tsukizakura lowered her hand and moved her shoulders.
The puppet's strength was so strong that his right shoulder was a little sore.
He looked around, and with a hard push of his left hand, he jumped out of the hole.
"You're not a level 6 puppet either. Sheila said proudly: "It's just that the conditions are a little harsh." β
Greens couldn't argue.
There was nothing wrong with Tsukizakura, who had been slashed by a knife, but her whole body was a little sore, but what troubled him was the protest that sounded in his head.
"What are you doing here, you damn little ghost!This is the house of this witch, don't mess with me!!Quickly knock that thing down, don't use that big knife to test the quality of the house of this witch!"
It may be that the puppet's attack is too loud, and it directly alarms the new moon, which has not been reversed, at this time she is scolding loudly in Yueying's head, making Yueying's head buzz.
Yueying shook her head and whispered, "Well, okay." β
Then, he jumped into the air and kicked the puppet in the head.
Then, the puppet fell to the ground with a bang under the stunned gaze of Xie Luo and Grimes.
Don't get me wrong, the puppet wasn't just defeated, and Tsukizakura still remembered the strange rule of "can't damage the puppet", and left three points of strength.
"Workshop !!" Greens held his head and finished his heart.
But it's a pity that the workshop behind the puppet can't be saved. The huge body of the puppet was extremely destructive when it fell, and the door of the workshop, and even the buildings in that area, were all in ruins because of this collapse.
"Do you need me to compensate for this?" Sheila didn't care on the surface, but she was actually very empty in her heart.
Xie Luo shook his head sluggishly.
On the other side, Yueying didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, he only kicked the puppet down because of Shuoyue's chatter, so that this young lady who could annoy him at any time shut up, and he didn't have an idea how to stop the puppet.
What to do?
Tsukizakura had only been thinking for a few seconds when she suddenly saw the puppet look up, its one eye glowing at the same time.
Grims noticed the puppet's movements, and as one of the researchers who made the puppet, he knew exactly what the puppet was doing - and because of this understanding, Grims knew what the puppet was going to do next, and he also knew the consequences of such a move.
"Get out of the !!"
It was the only thing Grimes could shout before the puppet attacked.
After that, the flames and shock waves of the explosion made them unconscious.
"Wow...... Tsukizakura withdrew her left hand and let the churning magic return.
The puppet's magic cannon didn't hurt Tsukizakura itself, at most her clothes were a little burnt. The place where he was had been blown up was a big crater, and the small piece where he was standing remained intact.
The prosthetic hand transformed into by the Soul Sword is not strong, but instead, the prosthetic hand has a high resistance to magic, and the conductivity of the magic is very strong, and Alice has tested it, saying that it is twice as strong as Mithril - of course, because Tsukizakura is not a magician, this conductivity is of little use to him.
And this time, it's the prosthetic hand's powerful magic resistance that works.
The puppet was probably sending out a magic cannon, and Tsukizakura could feel the workshop trembling in a low voice because of this cannon, and if there was another shelling like this, not only the workshop, but also the underground space would probably collapse.
This is the underside of the town, and if it is destroyed here, the town above will be destroyed with it - Tsukizakura is not the kind of person who doesn't care about other people's lives.
This puppet must be dealt with now!
Just as he pushed away the smoke in front of him and was about to kill the puppet regardless of the request, he realized that he didn't have to continue.
In the puppet's chest, a person came out.
He was about sixty years old, with short, gray-white hair, probably because of a hit on his head, and the old man had blood on his face. In addition to this, he was dressed in the same costume as Grimes, so it seemed that the old man was also a man from the workshop.
"Oh, surrender and surrender, the puppet is always just a puppet, and there is no way to compare it with a real cultivator. The old man gritted his teeth and touched his chin, "This is the end of the trialβ"
"Really?"
The old man looked up slightly and found the dark-faced Tsukizakura standing in front of him.
"Since you control this puppet, why do you want to use that shelling just now?" Tsukizakura pointed back with her thumb, "Sister Sheila has been affected by you!"
Sheila was just an ordinary person, and the fluctuations of the shelling were no less than a punch to her, and now she was still lying unconscious on the ground. Tsukizakura had promised to keep Sheila safe, and now that this is the case, of course Tsukizakura will be angry.
"Ah......h My old man just wants to try! Anyway, you can't die?" the old man was very reasonable, "Since this is a trial, of course you have to show your real skills! Or do you want to beat me up this bad old man?"
"Of course not. "This old man is just an ordinary person, and he is still so old, Yue Ying is estimated to be able to kill him with one punch," but...... I'm level 7, did you know that level 7 has a common move?"
ββ¦β¦ Moves?"
"It's coercion. Yueying pointed her finger at the old man's forehead, "Let you taste the same feeling as Sister Sheila!"
- Coercion!
Yueying's momentum burst out, and she saw the old man's eyes slowly white, and finally passed out.
"Humph!"
For this kind of messy old man who relies on the old and sells the old, Yue Ying doesn't have a good feeling, he pats the dust on his body, turns his head and leaves.
An hour later.
"I'm sorry. Xie Luo and Grimes bowed their heads, and their attitudes were sincere to death. "We're sorry that our teachers like to mess around too much!"
The old man who controlled the puppet was Xie Luo and Greens' teacher, that is, the actual controller of the workshop, and the person in charge of making the puppet.
Judging from the fact that he used the puppet's nirvana in his blood, and was completely reckless of the consequences, this was indeed an old man who caused headaches for their students.
Sheila, who had woken up, accepted the apologies of the two, and the moon cherry blossom sitting on the side was still playing tricks, and the pressure from him was pressing Xie Luo and Grimes all the time, and at this time, Xie Luo did not dare to question the strength of the moon cherry at all.
"So, what's really important that we need to do?" Sheila's head still ached, but now was the time to get down to business.
Any puppet out of control is just a lie, if Sheila didn't guess wrong, Xie Luo had encountered something extremely tricky, and it needed a powerful innocent person like Yueying who had nothing to do with other people. It's that the way this trial is conducted is a bit rough and inconsiderate.
Of course, most of the blame for this lies with the old man who controlled the puppet, and without his magic cannon, there wouldn't be so much. The townspeople were in a panic because of the magic cannon, and the people in charge of it were probably going to be big.
However, even if the old man didn't mess around, Sheila could guess it, after all, Xie Luo was too careless, and there were too many flaws along the way.
Zekodinzan Island is just a small island on the edge, and Xie Luo's consortium is a very powerful consortium as long as she looks at her airboat, and it is just a trivial matter like acquiring goods, which Xie Luo does not need to do in person - unless she has a secret and important place to go, passing through Zekodinzan Island just to hide people's eyes.
Later, there was a Runaway Puppet equivalent to Level 6 beneath the town, and there were no warning signs in the passage to enter it, not to mention that the townspeople hadn't evacuated yet.
Even the most stupid decision-maker would not have made such a decision with such disregard for the inhabitants under his rule.
In this way, there is only one possibility that the puppet is not in danger.
If it had been a little longer, Xie Luo would probably have been able to hide it better, but it would have been ...... Time is really urgent, not only for this trial, but also for that real mission.
Xie Luo and Grimes looked at each other, and after confirming each other's opinions, Xie Luo spoke: "This task...... It was also entrusted to us by someone else, and this client has an extraordinary identity. β
"Oh?" said Sheila, who was intrigued, then?"
"I can't say that. Xie Luo said, "I will take you there...... As for whether she will hire you or not, it's up to her. β
"Do you want the honorable lord to have the final say?"
"I said it, I'm just an intermediary. Xie Luo smiled wryly, "It's just this intermediary...... I can't refuse. β
