Chapter 4 - Puppet Development
"I didn't expect Miral to be crazy, to be so crazy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Early in the morning, with the help of Lu Ming, while putting on his clothes, Raman Lash looked at Miral, who had been sleeping with Lu Ming until dawn on the small bed, and said with a little disbelief: "I actually played with you until dawn!" β
"Jealous?" Holding Raman Lasi, Lu Ming asked with a smile.
"Just... Just... Not at all! β
Looking at Raman who was blushing by his words, Lu Ming laughed and kissed her fiercely on the face, making her collapse directly in his arms.
"Today we will go to teach the students first, and then help Miral finish the experiment in the afternoon, and the three of us will have a good crazy time in the evening."
"Hmm......" Lying in Lu Ming's arms, Raman Lasi nodded slightly, and then broke free from Lu Ming's arms, picked up the course, and ran away.
"You have a good rest, and wait for the two of us to come back in the afternoon, and talk about experiments and tests. In addition, I will take your place in your class this morning. Putting on his coat, Lu Ming kissed Miral, who was pretending to be asleep, on the face, and then walked out of the room quickly.
At this time, Miral opened his eyes, glanced at the door that had been closed by Lu Ming, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, took out a necklace from under the quilt, looked at one of the eyes, and said, "What did you think at the beginning?" β
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she couldn't help laughing, and said, "I see, the two of us are really stupid......"
"Forget it, it's just useless to talk about it now." Throwing the pendant aside, Miral turned his back to the eye, closed it, and fell asleep.
And the eyes in the pendant kept looking at her until the first class bell rang, and then looked elsewhere.
-----------------------------------
"Ladies and gentlemen, please remember that the study of magic is very interesting, and although it is very rigorous, it can be used to do very interesting things, just like science! Okay, that's it for this lesson. Lu Ming, who was in class, heard the bell ringing at the end of class, so he said to the students with a smile.
"Yes, Headmaster." The students replied in unison.
Then, the students walked out of the classroom with their books in hand. Lu Ming also began to organize the teaching materials and prepared to go back to the office to prepare the content to be taught in the next class.
At this moment, Henes and the other two professors suddenly came to him.
"Headmaster, I heard that you're planning to help Vice Principal Thatch experiment and craft special puppet soldiers. I wonder if the three of us can join you? Without waiting for Lu Ming to ask, Henes asked very directly.
"You're well-informed!" smiled slightly, clicked twice with the pen, and then Lu Ming said: "Yes, it can be, but I hope you and Miral will stop making trouble." As a principal, I'm not going to be able to forcibly control the two of you, so I'm not allowed to quarrel, I can't sneer, and I don't humiliate others! β
"I see, don't worry, I won't have anything to do with Vice Principal Thatch!" Hearing this, Henes said happily.
As a result, when the time came to ten in the afternoon and everyone came to the secret room set up by Lu Ming in the school, Miral and Henes and Raman Lass still didn't deal with each other, which made many people very embarrassed.
But Lu Ming felt that it was impossible for these three people to get along all at once, so he didn't want to say anything, as long as the three of them didn't affect the research and development of special puppet soldiers.
Like the puppeteers that Miral improvised during the war, this time the puppetees still use dragon scales, dragon ashes, and iron sand.
Such an extravagant approach made Henes and the others, as well as several well-connected professors who were pulled over by Raman Rass to act as a faΓ§ade, couldn't help but be surprised by Lu Ming and Miral's wealth. Under normal circumstances, dragon scales and dragon ashes are expensive things that frighten people to death. Ordinary magicians may not be able to see them in a lifetime.
With the beginning of research and development, Miral made one of the dragon scale puppets used to counter the puppet soldiers, although he said to the others: "This is the model I developed to target the puppet soldiers, although it can deal with other types of puppet soldiers very well, but when it comes to heavy cavalry, magicians and other living people, it is very weak." That's why I wanted to develop puppetees that could restrain other types of puppeteers and not be too weak against living people. β
Looking at the puppet soldiers created by Miral, Henes frowned slightly, and said, "I think there is something wrong with your binding magic. Moreover, puppet soldiers are not as agile as living beings, and it is impossible for them to not fall behind when facing mages. Vice Chancellor, your ideas are nothing more than nonsense! β
Hearing Henes say that his skills were not good, and that he thought too much, Miral couldn't help but be furious, and subconsciously said angrily: "I remember that you don't know how to make puppet soldiers!" Since you are a layman, don't talk nonsense here! β
As soon as she heard this, Hernes couldn't help but walk quickly to the materials used to make the puppeteer, and made a puppeteer, and then she glanced at Miral very arrogantly, making Miral angry.
Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but shout: "Enough!" You two are here to develop puppeteers! I'm not here to fight! β
However, Miral and Henes instantly shouted back in unison, "Shut up, you layman!" β
"......" Suddenly, everyone except the two of them and Lu Ming couldn't help but swallow their saliva, because Lu Ming was almost on the verge of breaking out.
But a layman is a layman, and what he says if he doesn't know how to make a puppet soldier, Miral and Henes won't listen, so he chooses to be a tester.
Lu Ming walked to the center of the room step by step, casually used magic to create an ice sword, pointed at Miral and Henes, and said, "Yes, I am a layman. Then ask two insiders to use the puppet soldiers you have made to fight with me, a layman. If you win, it means that your puppet soldiers don't need to be developed anymore, and if you lose, I will deduct your salary for three years! β
β......β
"We were wrong!" "Please let us go!"
As soon as they heard Lu Ming's threat, Miral and Henes immediately surrendered obediently and apologized to Lu Ming.
After all, they don't have any other income, and once their wages are deducted, the two of them will have zero expenses except for food and clothing! This is unacceptable for both girls.
Moreover, if the development work is forcibly stopped, it is better to kill Milar and turn her into a geist!
So the two of them obediently softened, lest Lu Ming really get angry and punish the two of them.
Seeing that Miral and Henes obediently apologized to him and begged for mercy, Lu Ming snorted coldly, turned the cold ice sword into powder, and then returned to his seat.
In an instant, Miral and Henes breathed a sigh of relief, the moment Lu Ming was angry just now, both of them felt great pressure, although they didn't know why, but at that moment, they both felt like a vicious wolf who was seriously injured, but who moved and who died, was staring at them, making the two of them terrified.
After Lu Ming sat back in his seat, Miral and Henes began to analyze each other's puppet soldiers, wanting to see whose puppet soldiers were stronger, and by the way, they got some inspiration from the other party's puppet soldiers.
As a result, both Miral and Henes found their own puppet deficiencies from the other's puppeteers.
Miral's puppet soldiers are puppet soldiers that have been transformed from other puppet soldiers, whether it is binding magic or guiding the magic of attack, sometimes the enemy is standing in front of the puppet soldiers, but the puppet soldiers cannot find the enemy, causing the puppet soldiers to be beaten in vain, but they do not fight back.
Hernes' puppet soldiers' binding magic and guiding attack magic are far stronger than Miral's puppet soldiers, both in terms of stability and ability to search for enemies. Moreover, its anti-magic ability is also much stronger than Miral's puppet soldiers.
However, Heness's puppet soldiers are far less flexible than Miral's, and they are slightly inferior in terms of reaction speed.
Learning from each other's strengths is what Miral and Henes need to do now, and it is what Miral needs to do if he wants to develop better and stronger puppet soldiers. It's a pity that they are all arrogant people in this regard, and they may be able to accept it if they take the strengths of others to make up for their own shortcomings, but if that person is the other party, they are a little reluctant.
But under Lu Ming's high-pressure policy, even if they don't want to, they can't!
On his chair, Lu Ming held his head with one hand and said coldly: "Judging from the current situation, it will take a while for the development of puppet soldiers. So today you have to find out your strengths and weaknesses, and then correct the weaknesses you find one by one. Got it? β
"Yes!" Hearing that Lu Ming was dissatisfied with his and Heness's unwillingness to cooperate, Miral hurriedly said.
And Henes also hurriedly responded: "Got it! β
Helplessly, Miral and Henes could only have a trace of arrogance in their hearts, and instead worked together to fill in the shortcomings of their puppet soldiers as much as possible, so as not to make mistakes for Lu Ming.
However, at this time, Lu Ming's discussion with a professor who came over to help next to him made Miral slightly surprised.
"Do puppetees have to be humanoids? Why haven't I heard of puppet soldiers made in other ways? β
"I haven't heard of this either. However, according to your idea, headmaster, what would you do if you came to be a puppet soldier? β
"If it were me, I guess I would have made something similar to a wolf or an insect......
"So how do you attack? Wolves and insects don't have hands! There's no way they can take their weapons and fight soldiers or other puppets! β
"Why do you use it to take a weapon and slash at people? We can use the Binding Magic to create wingblades on both sides of the puppeteers, so that the puppets can use the wingblades to slice through the bodies of enemy soldiers when they run between enemy soldiers at high speed! β
"But this method doesn't seem to be useful to the heavy armor."
"Therefore, the wing blade is made of fine iron sand, not just two swords!"
"Headmaster, do you mean to make a weapon resembling a magic chainsaw from fine iron sand?"
"That's right!"
"But, in that case, you can't just use a set of binding magic. And if you use two sets of binding magic, the puppet soldiers will be paralyzed and lose their original effect due to the conflict of binding magic! β
"Nope! It's doable! Suddenly, Miral and Henes, who were improving their puppet soldiers, suddenly turned around and said in unison.
"......" "......" Lu Ming and the professor were startled by the two of them, and couldn't help but look at the two of them in a daze.
The two of them didn't say anything, just looked at each other, and together they created a wolf-shaped puppeteer, using two different sets of binding magic to shape iron sand and dragon scales, as well as dragon ashes, into bodies and winged blades.
It's just that the effect of this puppet soldier is not ideal.
Although he is able to move without being paralyzed and collapsed due to the conflict between the two sets of binding magic, there are huge problems with movement, attack, and coordination.
However, even so, it surprised many professors. In their opinion, there is no way for a puppet soldier to use two sets of binding magic on the same device!
"Looks like it's a little bit close." Glancing lightly at the works of Miral and Henes, Lu Ming smiled slightly and said.
"It's still a little close, but you believe me......" "I'll be able to finish it!"
Miral and Henes assured Lu Ming in unison, and then the two of them glared at each other, neither of them looking down on the other.
Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh and said, "Two, are you too happy too early?" It seems that the development of the puppet soldiers is not yet complete! β
......Hearing this, Miral and Henes couldn't help but froze slightly, and then looked to the sides with a red face.
"The development of anything takes time! So come on, two! Looking at the two unreassuring vice principals and professors in his school, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile and quipped: "However, if there is something that can't be done, then give up!" Anyway, the two of you will only cause trouble for others. β
Upon hearing this, Miral and Henes both glared at Lu Ming angrily, and said in their hearts, "I won't be the same as this 'soulless/stupid'!" β
Just when everyone was laughing at Lu Ming's embarrassment, Raman Lass discovered one thing, that is, Lu Ming's conversation with another professor just now was actually led by Lu Ming.
This made her a little suspicious, and the purpose of what he told the professor was to remind Miral. Moreover, with Lu Ming's ability and brains, he would not be able to be a puppet soldier, she didn't believe it! And judging from the series of practices just now, he can be a puppet soldier, and his skills are far better than Miral and Henes.
It is even possible that the two of them together will not be able to compare to Lu Ming's skills.
The reason why he didn't show it was probably just to hide it and leave a sky for Miral to fly, lest Miral feel like a fool at school.
Therefore, Miral's current pride is just that Lu Ming is deliberately letting her, but because of this kindness, she went crazy and studied the puppet soldiers' things, which made Lu Ming very unhappy.
Now she is really afraid that one day Miral will go too far, so Lu Ming chooses to hit Miral hard, and Miral will probably not be able to bear it at that time......
