Chapter 41: Dick
'Who is Dick?' Is there anyone else in this room? How I didn't notice!! β
Kyle was shocked and quickly turned on his 'Kinetic Sense' ability, detecting the movements around him. This discovery really made him sense a moving object on the pillar.
However, when Kyle looks there, he sees that the pillar is empty.
Even after he changed to elemental vision, he didn't find anything, as if his kinetic energy sensing was wrong.
But Kyle doesn't believe that kinetic sensing can go wrong.
After all, 'Elemental Vision' only allows Kyle to see elemental energy particles with the naked eye, but solid, liquid physical matter can block his observationsββββ the Assassin had just blocked elemental vision with a wall.
Unlike 'kinetic energy sensing', Wuji's annotation to Kyle clearly states that 'within the range of Kyle's soul force field, any moving object above the slightest size cannot be hidden'......... Unless he doesn't move, he will definitely be noticed by Kyle.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, a voice came from where Kyle was staring.
"Yes, Lord Reut."
Despite the voice, the man named Dick remained unremarkable, and just landed lightly on the ground behind Kyle.
This makes Kyle panic.
He turned his head decisively, stared at the air and said, "Why don't you show up?" β
ββ¦β¦ Master Kyle, can you see me? Dick's voice was unusually surprised, as if he had discovered something incredible.
Kyle shook his head, "No, but I can sense your movements." β
"That's pretty good, too!" Dick exclaimed, but continued to ask:
"How do you sense my movements?" I am a special construct made of Hardy alloy, that is, Phantom Light Steel, which has the characteristics of absorbing object shocks, isolating elemental energy, and perfectly curling light. When I'm in lurking mode, the detection magic that is common to all major forces at this stage can't detect my existence. How do you perceive .........?"
"Enough Dick! Hurry up and show your original form, no one can adapt to you talking like this. β
Reut reluctantly interrupted Dick.
"Dear Lord Reut, this is my prototype now, and if you want to see me with the naked eye, it would be accurate to say this: enter the Type II combat mode, which is a low-energy pure mechanical combat mode. Do you want me to switch from latent mode to that mode? β
"Yes! Yes, definitely. β
With the order of the high-ranking Sword Master, there was a sound of gears turning behind Kyle.
Soon, when a layer of metallic film that bends perfectly and makes Dick completely invisible to the naked eye flips, a figure is truly revealed.
As a construct for combat use.
Dick was surprisingly short, barely approaching a meter tall from head to toe.
But the metal tail behind it was three meters long, and the shape was extremely hideous, the tail was covered with sharp mechanical barbs, and its tail was pointed, even directly an iron anchor with spikesββββ Kyle suspected that it could be launched. It can be used as a weapon for ranged attacks, and it is also something similar to a flying claw.
Can help Dick make some difficult moves.
As for the overall shape of this highly intelligent structure............ Kyle summed it up.
ββββ has four hands and a metal monkey (also has two hands on the back)!
That's probably what it is.
Kyle looked at the mysterious construct, which had been latent until it had been inactive.
And the metal film on its surface can not only bend the light perfectly, but also isolate elemental energy, plus the construct's body has no heartbeat, Kyle's 'kinetic energy sensing' can't detect him.
Although possessing extremely high intelligence.
But after all, it was still a construct, and Dick saw Kyle staring at it and didn't give an order, so he continued to ask, "Master Kyle, how did you sense Dick in latent mode?" β
Kyle: "......... Aren't you a construct? How could you be interested in this question? β
Dick immediately replied, "This is a command from my maker, Princess Platinum Alexandra, who asked me to ask this question as much as I can, to every intelligent being that can discover the constituent in latent mode, so that she can continue to improve. β
"Aren't you afraid that I'll just give you an answer to deal with it?"
Kyle asked curiously.
His interest in Dick was now much higher than looking for the Assassin.
Originally, although Kyle knew that the development of rune machinery was extremely rapid, he didn't expect it to be so fastββββ even Dick's latent ability can be created.
The construct Kyle has seen in the past.
Either it's a service-oriented construct like Puel, which is lightweight, but very fragile, and even ordinary people can't beat it.
Or maybe it's a bulky guy like the Iron Golem, and it's tough and rough.
However, upon meeting Dick, Kyle discovers that he has greatly underestimated the speed at which Tygurus' rune machine technology is evolving............ This also strengthened his desire to 'break away from the Platinum Empire and join the Tower of the Stars'.
Dick didn't hesitate when it came to Kyle's question.
"As a latent construct, my main tasks are reconnaissance, vigilance, assassination, theft, and interrogation. As a result, I am equipped with the highest level of polygraph function, and unless I am an archmage majoring in mental and soul magic, or an extremely rare psionic, no other life can lie in front of me. β
"Awesome!"
"Master Kyle, I've answered many of your questions, can you answer my questions?"
Hearing this, Kyle asked with interest, "What would you do if I refused to answer, Dick?" Is it mandatory for me to be interrogated? β
"You are the sender assigned to me by Lord Reutt who has the authority of the third order order, and with the command authority of the fourth order, I cannot do anything against you that is not of your subjective will......... I'll record what you find me lurking, and that's it. β
"Well, that's good!"
Kyle nodded, but still wondered how ββββ Dick had such a high intelligence? What is the metallic film on its surface?
When faced with Kyle's question, Dick answered him patiently.
"The core of my intelligence is a spirit crystal made from the souls of three hundred humans, implanted by the creator Alexandra with a mechanical mind and a mind seal loyal to command authority. As for your second question... I don't have any information in my database. β
"I see, three hundred... It's a little too cruel! β
In Kyle's mind, on the one hand, he was shocked by the brutality of Alexandra, the platinum princess, and the daughter of Bahamut.
But on the other hand, he was also relieved that Tygulas couldn't create an intelligent core out of thin air.
ββββ'At least don't worry about the intelligence crisis!' β
As for the second question......
Ford, who had just stood aside to help Reut with official documents, spoke.
"Master Kyle, this film is the Silver of the Primordial, the same grade of 'God's Metal' as the Divine Meteor Core Gold, and its performance is beyond your imagination."
"Oh? Give me your hand, Dick. β
This is a god's metal, as long as the content of one of the two metals in a piece reaches one-tenth, it is a standard demigodic weapon. If it can reach half, even without any enchantments, inscriptions, or compounding, it can still be considered an artifact.
Kyle had only heard of their names, never seen them.
I didn't expect it to be here.
After taking Dick's hand, Kyle immediately crossed his knees and entered a meditative stateββββ he wanted to see Dick's attributes.
