Chapter 1268: The Secret Puppet Girl and the Mithril Warlock (I.)
Immediately following the short eccentric, the taller eccentric also climbed over the low wall, opposite the gate of Matvey's house.
The tall strange man gestured, and his companion hurried forward, approaching the door and looking down, as if trying to pry open the deadbolt that had been inserted from within.
At that moment, a small window opened on the door, and a blue beam of light shot out from the large eyes of Jack, the clockwork attendant.
The short weirdo seemed to take it as a ray attack, and without thinking about it, he folded back a series of somersaults, dodging the beam and throwing off his cloak at the same time, revealing his true face, looking like a beautiful and slender girl, but his skin was glowing with a cold metallic luster, and his beautiful face was as cold as frost, and his eyes that could not see the slightest emotion revealed a chill, and his whole body exuded a cold and dangerous temperament.
"Natalia, it's a squire, a toy made by an old man to relieve loneliness." The tall weirdo took off his cloak and hood with his backhand, revealing a face that was as cold as his female companion.
It was a young face, quite handsome, but from his facial features to the contours of his face, Mithril showed a unique luster, and even if he looked like a human, he could not hide the distinctive features of the construct, which was exactly the same as that of his companions.
"So my dear Leonid, what are you going to do with me with that clockwork doll?" The secret girl's voice was not emotional, but it was clear that she was obedient to the man with the body of Mithril beside her.
Mithril freak touched his chin and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly sneered eerily. The metal-made face doesn't show subtle changes in expression, but just listening to the laughter is creepy enough.
The secret girl seemed to have a good relationship with her boyfriend, nodded slightly, raised her hand to wipe her face, and changed her face in an instant, and it was exactly the same as the old man Matvey.
The Secret Puppet's innate spell ability allows her to cast the "Transformation Technique" at will, and as long as she changes her face, she can easily fool the squire on the other side of the door. After all, no matter how smart Jack is, he doesn't have self-awareness, and he can't compete with the two almost demonic constructs outside the door, let alone see through each other's deception.
Didi –
Physiognomy identification!
That's it!
Jack decided that the face outside the door belonged to its owner, and did not hesitate to pull the deadbolt of the door.
The secret girl shook her long black hair, and her face returned to its original state. Jack stared at her blankly, hesitated for a long time before reacting and trying to reclose the door.
Syllable! The Mithril man raised his hand and pressed Jack's head, and a golden light burst into his palm, and the mysterious "trick" caused Jack's body to stiffen and lose his vitality, and the light in his eyes went out.
"Honey, you killed the poor little thing?"
"Natalia, you're still as kind as ever......" The Mithril man sighed and replied gloomily, "It's not dead yet, because I need it to die in the right place." ”
The Secret Puppet Girl nodded, falling silent.
The Mithril man expertly dismantled Jack's belly and pulled a metal case from his belly, which was densely packed with flat clockwork boxes, like a drawer full of records.
The Mithril man casually pulled out a clockwork box, disassembled it and skillfully modified it, transforming his ten fingers into various tools, and in the blink of an eye, he assembled the modified clockwork box and stuffed it back into Jack's belly.
The Mithril man smiled with satisfaction and tapped the clockwork attendant on the top of the head.
Didi - Restart successful!
Clockwork modified successfully!
A series of beeps came out of Jack's body, and a beam of blue light shot out from one eye, shining directly on the Mithril man's face.
Didi - Appearance confirmed!
"Dear Lord Leonid, what are your orders?" Jack asked respectfully.
"Immediately execute the most recently typed command." The Mithril man said lightly.
"Yes, my master!" Jack turned and walked out the door, speeding in the direction of Matvey's school.
The Mithril man sneered, turned to the secret puppet girl, and said, "Let's follow, and there will be a good show soon." ”
The Secret Girl nodded, put on the wide gray cloak again, and followed the rut marks left by Jack as she walked briskly.
……
Melting snow from Lighthouse Mountain trickles down the ridge like a jade belt around the town, and you can see fish playing through the clear water and countless colorful pebbles on the riverbed.
Fishing with a rod and rod on the banks of such a scenic river is a favorite pastime of the townspeople. However, at this moment, the sound of gurgling water was suppressed by the roaring chorus of several magic steam engines in the riverside mechanic training school, and the fish were also frightened to dive deep and dare not show their heads.
In order to facilitate the large amount of water drawn to power the steam engine, Matvey set up his own training school and magic locomotive research institute on the riverside, and the noise of the steam engine was a sight to behold, if not a nuisance, for this riverside fishing resort. The main reason why the residents of Sayre can tolerate it is that Matvey's school does not charge tuition and provides free training for young people in the town who aspire to become warlocks, and because the school is only open on Saturdays and weekends, and does not make too much noise during normal times, and fishing enthusiasts can still come to the river for fun.
Except for the young mechanics in the school, who had corks in their ears and eyes, the rest of the townspeople spontaneously stayed away from the rumbling noise, so that the riverside became untouched on weekends, and Jack, the clockwork attendant, appeared alone on the river beach without attracting anyone's attention, and when he slammed open the classroom door and broke in, most of the students were unaware of the anomaly, and were still concentrating on processing the gear in their hands in front of the machine, only Isabel, who was closest to the door, heard the movement and glanced up.
"Huh? Jack! How did you get here? Isabel took off her earplugs and goggles and smiled as she walked over to the clockwork attendant, "Are you here to find Mr. Matvey?" ”
A beam of blue light shot out of the one eye of the clockwork squire's head, pausing for a moment on the face of the mayor's daughter, and then indifferently moving away, scanning back and forth in the hall, as if searching for something.
DiDi – Discover the Target!
Perform urgent missions and destroy targets!
The clockwork attendant locked his gaze on the most powerful magic crystal steam engine in the hall, and slid the roller straight through.
"Hey! Jack, you naughty man, stop me! Don't mess around in the classroom! Isabel tried to tug at the clockwork attendant's arm, but the other man ignored him, and the mechanical arm shook the petite girl away.
Isabel staggered back, almost fell, and hurriedly held on to the wall. Looking up, the out-of-control clockwork attendant had rushed to the massive steam boiler, swinging a pair of mechanical arms in an attempt to overturn the boiler!
