Chapter 38: Egwene returns

Orondo's structural biology experiments took a total of sixteen days.

When he was done, he was so tired that he just wanted to lie on the ground and rest, and he didn't want to move.

And in fact, he really fell directly on the floor of the laboratory and went straight to sleep.

During these 16 days, although I didn't have a break, every time I woke up, I would concentrate on continuing to work.

Although aided by the Eyes of Truth, he also had to exert energy, magic, and physical strength himself, without which he could not work.

Eventually, 16 days later, the structural creature, which had almost exhausted his entire body of property with light materials, was finally basically made according to the requirements in the drawings that had been improved more than a dozen times.

Orondo didn't know how long he had been asleep, only to wake up from the cold floor when his brain's self-imposed sleep was over.

"The Eye of Truth. How long did I sleep? ”

[Report: Host dormant for a total of 23 gnome machine hours]

It's been almost a day and a night.

The brain, which was originally as drowsy as a paste, finally cleared up again after enough rest.

Orondo stood up, first stretched, and then trembled all over his body to come up with a set of lightning five whips, trying to move his body as much as possible.

After a set of lightning five consecutive whips, I felt that my body was stretched, and there was no other discomfort except that I was very hungry.

Orondo came to his work, looked at it, and said softly, "Activate." ”

In an instant, the complex mystical magic array under the body of the structural creature lit up, and the huge arcane energy flowed in the magic circle, merging into the body of the structural creature one by one, and finally a pair of mechanical eyes made of opal glowed.

The launch was successful.

"Do you understand orders?" Orondo looked at it with a pair of eyes made of cat's eye gemstones. "The eyes flashed three times in a row, indicating that they could understand."

Due to cost and drawing design, Orondo and the Eye of Truth did not design it with a vocal cord-like language function. This is the first machine, and it needs to be perfected later, so it doesn't need to be perfect.

The glowing cat's eye gemstone flashes three times.

"Hands up."

The bones are precious Mithril bones, light and hard, and have good magical guiding abilities. The "muscles" that fit the outside of the bones are very good, and the hardened steel that Orondo and the Eye of Truth have modified the secret recipe is much better than what is being sold outside.

The construct obediently raised its hands.

"Lift your right foot."

The construct raises its right foot.

"Put your right foot down and lift your left foot."

The construct is complete again.

"Squat down with your hands and clench your fists."

"Stand up and turn around."

Under his command, the construct completed the movements in turn, including turning, crouching, jumping, rolling, kneeling, and so on.

After a series of inspections, Orondo breathed a sigh of reliefβ€”almost 200,000 Dalaran gold coins had been invested, and the first step of the envisioned construct had passed.

Not bad.

He felt so.

"Not bad."

A voice suddenly spoke his mind, and Orondo immediately turned his head to see a mentor who was basically as tall as himself standing behind him.

Egwene is back.

Orondo gave a new order to the construct: "Turn on the energy-saving state and stand by in place." ”

It immediately remained motionless, its joints relaxed, and only a pair of eyes made of cat's eye gemstones shone slightly.

"Mentor, you're back. Are you done? Orondo greeted happily.

Although this mentor is a bit cold, sometimes his temper is not very good. But in fact, as long as she grasps the context, she is also very easy to get along with.

The most important thing is that she has a high score of 98 points out of 100 points in Orondo's appearance scoring system.

What's more, Orondo feels that this golden thigh is currently more important to him than the Eye of Truth!

With her, not to mention the political conspiracy or the situation in Dalaran, even if Sargeras comes, there is nothing to fear.

Not...... At this time, Sargeras only dared to hide quietly in the depths of her soul, not daring to move, for fear of being discovered.

"Hmm." Egwene tapped lightly, looked at him who had been a little scruffy after a long experiment, and then walked past him to observe his creation.

"Nice job. At your age, I can't 100% restore the design on the drawings. After looking at it, she opened her mouth to give a preliminary assessment: "And it doesn't look like it's without improvements, there are a few things that are more complete than on your drawings." It should be that you have new inspiration when you construct it and then improve it. ”

"But ......"

She withdrew her gaze from the construct and looked at Orondo, "A lot of precious materials were used, and a lot of details were taken into account. But it's so weak that a single water elemental can easily knock it down. Obviously, you're not going to take it into battle. At least not for the time being. ”

Worthy of Egwen.

The evaluation hit the nail on the head, and Orondo didn't have the intention of preparing himself as a construct to fight, and he was the most annoying thing about fighting and killing.

Those who think about fighting and killing all day long are the only plastic barbarians, and only these arcane barbarians think about upgrading the battle against monsters all day long.

Orondo, who is ready to follow the all-knowing and all-powerful cultivation system, positions himself as a scientist and scholar, and a deputy lord.

So the first construct he came up with, under the condition that he is currently safe, is not a combat type robot.

"I'm ready to keep improving its intelligence, as well as its ability to operate in all aspects." Orondo said. "I want it to be my assistant in experiments, in the quest for the truth of the mage."

He positioned himself as "the fantasy version of Iron Man in the Azeroth Realm", so in Orondo's vision, the Eye of Truth bound to his soul and this structure that is not known for combat is the "Jarvis" when he studies it in the future.

The combination of the Eye of Truth, which cannot affect the outside of the body, and the first construct that can understand its own intentions, will make it easier to conduct experiments in the future.

"If that's the case. It should be not bad, but you have to consider its intelligence. Egwene nodded.

"Mentor, do you have any suggestions?" Orondo hit the snake with the stick and immediately asked.

This is the strongest mage Azeroth has ever seen, and there was an Aishara, blessed by the Well of Eternity, who could rival her. But Azara, who has become the queen of Naga, will definitely not be able to surpass the current Egwen.

At this point in time, Egwen, regardless of combat power or knowledge, is basically the first in Azeroth.

Except for the Arcane Titano Gannon.

"Two ways." Egwene did not disappoint Orondo, she said: "Capture a soul, preferably an archmage-level soul, grind off the will to become your slave, and stuff it in." ”

"Or little by little, let it slowly upgrade on its own, let it have its own will. The former is the quickest way, but there can be many hidden dangers, and the right soul can be hard to find. The latter is slow and can also fail, but it is the safest. ”

Orondo shrugged and said, "I choose the latter." ”

Egwene didn't seem surprised, she turned her head to look at the construct that looked like her own, "I should give her a name, or codename." ”

"I've been thinking of its name for a long time." Orondo smiled at the mentor. "Nani, that's its name."

Hearing the name, Egwen's face changed.

Because, the title Nani is the nickname given to her by her parents when she was a child! She hadn't heard that in hundreds of years.
