An unquiet night passed.

The sky has quietly turned white.

Looking at the unexpected harvest from the dream in their hands, the two of them no longer felt sleepy.

For them, "adventure" is not an end in itself, the final harvest is, and for adventurers, only precious treasures are the best consolation for a near-death life.

I changed my clothes again.

Even though it was cold in the middle of winter, Evan still wore a simple trouser shirt, while Olivia changed into a women's hunting outfit, and Evan also draped her over his voluminous "Thunderbird robe".

On a stretch of sand next to the campsite, two men looked around the brass box.

"This should be a creation of the 'Alchemy School', right?"

Olivia, who had fought them in the dream, was the first to make her own judgment.

Although the Toy Soldier has a colorful livery on the surface, they are essentially metal golems. Even the first apprentice knows which school of wizards is better at this kind of creation.

Ai Wen didn't express his opinion hastily, and thoughtfully looked at the exquisite pattern on the lid for a while, and then directly reached out to open the lid.

Click-

However, this time, the "soldiers" did not pop out on their own as they did in a dream.

After waiting for a while, the two of them leaned together and looked inside the box, which were densely packed with pocket toy soldiers the size of beans, hot and cold weapons, bronze cannons of various calibers, chariots, military horses... Even a clockwork locomotive, there is a wide variety of them.

But they're like real toys now, and they're no longer alive from the siege of Olivia last night.

Evan picked it up and shook it vigorously, even if it was upside down, the world inside the box was not affected in the slightest, as if they were in another dimension.

"Aiwen, when I fought before, these soldiers were all possessed by 'ghosts', and after the 'ghosts' were purified by me, they all stopped moving, are they already broken?

Oh, no, why do alchemy golems need 'ghosts' to control them?"

The girl just had a guess, and then vetoed it herself, taking advantage of the current era of the ever-changing steam industry, how could alchemy, which had come to the fore and even become the mainstream of witchcraft, be such an inconvenient thing?

It's pretty much the same to be "Voodoo" or "Necromancy".

At this time, Ai Wen, who had been turning over and over again and carefully studying every pattern of the [Toy Box], finally spoke excitedly:

"It's not that you've broken it, but you've been restored to its original state under your spiritual purification.

Moreover, it is not from the 'alchemy school', but from the 'living chemistry school'!

I should have thought that this was an extraordinary gathering. ”

Excitement flashed across his brows, and Evan's fingertips flashed with "Activating Aura", tapping on a rune hidden in the pattern on the surface of the box.

Buzz –

The spiritual wind on the beach suddenly rose, and the light green light flowed quickly along the lines on the surface of the brass box, spreading to every corner inside and out. Like a long drought and a rainstorm, the lifeless brass box instantly "came to life".

Bang la la la ...

One after another, metal soldiers popped out of the box like raindrops, turned into the size of adults, and formed two neat phalanxes, one red and one blue, in front of the two of them.

They were composed of musketeers carrying guns, charioteers driving cars, artillerymen operating artillery, and cavalrymen straddling horses and swords, and the total number reached 300 men.

Then, an officer in the red and blue phalanx, dressed in extraornate paint and wearing a marshal's hat, came out of the ranks, saluted Aven, who was holding the box, and asked in an unfluctuating tone:

"Your Excellency, Commander, please order!"

Olivia, who had been besieged by them and had palpitations, saw that an army of this size had quietly hid behind Aven, lying on his shoulder and looking at the majestic military formation.

"What's your name?"

The two metal officers did not react to the question, but simply repeated:

"Your Excellency, Commander, please order!"

As if he wasn't very smart, Evan touched his chin and defined them in his mind.

Toy soldiers are expected to have a very primitive mechanical intelligence, and will only do things according to established rules. But that's fine, don't worry about putting on a real-life version of the mechanical public enemy.

Then he tentatively gave the order:

"Why don't you show me through?"

"Yes, Commander!"

The red and blue phalanxes marched forward separately from side to side under the leadership of their respective commanders, and when the distance between the two was close to a hundred paces, they suddenly stood upright, turned around, and raised their guns, but what they all pointed to was not a demonstration target, but... Counterpart.

When Evan first realized something was wrong.

"Fire!"

The two sides had a tacit understanding and ordered at the same time.

Bang!bang...

Boom, boom, boom...

This time, the power of their attack is obviously far greater than when they were forcibly controlled by a group of "ghosts" in the dream realm.

At a distance of 100 paces, the muskets in their hands can leave deep depressions in the metal bodies of the opponents, and the cannons can tear the opposing soldiers apart....

And I didn't know that I didn't know that I didn't have the slightest intention of dodging.

Er –

Seeing that the charioteers and cavalry were about to charge under artillery fire.

That kind of momentum is clearly to wait until one side is completely down, or both sides are exhausted before they will give up!

"Stop, stop, MD, you retards!"

Stunned for a moment, Evan finally realized what these metal bumps had done, and jumped to his feet to stop it.

Although the soldiers had no brains, they still carried out the orders of Evan, the new master, without compromise, and the gunfire immediately stopped, and the two sides lined up again.

However, in just half a minute, the number of soldiers had been reduced by nearly a quarter.

The "toy" that had just arrived had become like this before it was hot, and the sacrifice was meaningless, and Evan was extremely distressed.

"Come back!"

The toy soldiers were ordered to pick up their companion's metal stump from the ground and transform themselves into villains back into the open box.

Evan hugged the box and fell into deep thought.

Because he has the first and third volumes of the Rite of Flesh and Blood in his hands, he can connect the past and the future, so when he sees Billy the Clockwork, he can almost immediately tell that the technology he applies may have something to do with the second volume.

But only now, he was completely sure that these soldier dolls were not made in the same way as normal alchemy golem puppets, but were from the fourth volume [Witchcraft: Living the Dead].

Because there were no gears or machinery in the body of the smashed metal soldier, but a hollow metal body. Similar to those marble sculpture guards inside the giant rock golem "Mountain Giant".

According to the presentation in the table of contents of the first volume.

The fourth volume corresponds to the knowledge of the upper wizard level, mainly recording the [Activating Ship Spirituality] and [Revitalizing the Dead], which is not much different from the content of the previous three volumes of creatures and potions, and is already another vast and esoteric field.

The goblin named Little Jack doesn't have the right to use the [Toy Box] at all, and has no corresponding knowledge, so he just relies on the "ghosts" to station these "animated dolls" and then force them to drive.

It's no wonder that the previous creation, which was at least a high-ranking wizard, could not even kill a full-fledged knight whose sorcery had been banned... Uh, suddenly glanced at Olivia, who was looking at the toy box with a new face... Bah, baba, children's words, children's words.

It turned out that it was opened in the wrong way.

Even if there were only three-quarters of the toy soldiers left at this time, their frontal combat power was far stronger than the peak of the first order of the same level, and it was even enough to crush the crew of the "Storm Horn". But to talk about side combat effectiveness, or mentally retarded ...

Even so, though, Evan was satisfied enough.

I don't know how long this toy box has been sealed on the "Dream" that has not seen the light of day, and finally brushed off the dust today to meet the master, which is really lucky!

Then, the light of Aiwen's fingertips flickered again, pointing at another rune on the box.

Snort –

Without warning, snow-white steam spilled out of the cracks in the box.

Throwing it down the beach, Evan grabbed Olivia and ducked.

Click... Click...

It is as if the compression module in the copper box space has been released, countless gears, bearings, springs, clockwork... With a pleasant metallic sound, it constantly bounces and expands.

Under the stunned gaze of the two who retreated into the distance, in just five minutes, it had turned into a huge metal house with a towering chimney, and the total construction area of the two-story structure exceeded 1,000 square meters.

Boom...

Swallowing his saliva, Evan and Olivia, who were shocked again, walked in cautiously hand in hand.

Only then did they discover that the toy box, which was a combat-type alchemy creation, was only on the surface, but the essence of the brass box was an alchemy workshop that could fold space.

At this time, on the assembly line, the damaged toy soldiers have begun to be reforged and repainted.

Obviously, there is also a complete repair system in the alchemy workshop, as long as the materials are collected, even if the damage is bad, new soldiers can be recreated.

Not to mention the loss of a quarter, it is the total annihilation, as long as there is an alchemy workshop, you will soon be able to get an army of toy soldiers again.

"The power of the upper wizard is too exaggerated, right?"

"The premise should be a high-ranking wizard who is good at making things, and my mother doesn't have such skills. ”

This alchemy workshop is much stronger than the current high-end prop "Alchemy Secret Box" of the alchemy school, integrating space expansion, laboratory, cultivation room, alchemy arsenal, etc., which is simply the artifact that every alchemist dreams of.

Even if it's a real artifact, it won't be changed.

In addition, Ai Wen also found that the biological modulation laboratory here, which obviously served the knowledge of the second and third volumes of "Rite of Flesh", was able to accommodate a small number of biological materials to survive for a long time and slowly transform.

And what surprised Evan the most was that he also found a diary and a lot of research materials in the drawer of the alchemy workshop.

Uh, journaling?

Obviously, the former owner of the toy box was not a serious person, and even the second in the old school to make toys with this technique may have been an old second, but it is certain that he has the fourth volume of "The Rite of Flesh".

This alchemy workshop itself is a masterpiece of "art", but if there is a "Dao", Ai Wen will be able to create a second, a third...

After hurriedly flipping through those materials, although Ai Wen had some regrets, he also gained a lot.

The owner of the diary left only his own wizard named "Iron Man", or "Iron Man" in translation.

He was active much earlier than the Serpent Man Heber Crete.

The main research direction of this high-ranking wizard is [Reviving the Dead], and there is a detailed record of the study of this series of witchcraft in the materials, which is also the most valuable part of the written record.

It's a bit of a pity that he doesn't have much to say about the other witchcraft in the fourth volume, the Holistic Activation, which is the Activation of the Ship Spirit, which Evan's mind has in mind.

The rest of the diary is just an ordinary diary that doesn't have much value, and it doesn't explain why the toy box ended up on the "Dream". However, since the toy box was lost there, it was obvious that it could not be the powerful superior wizard himself.

Perhaps the Grand Wizard's successor explored the Dream and ended up there, until Evan arrived. Because the style of these alchemical guns is relatively close to modernization, it is clear that it has been improved by professionals.

After a long time, Evan put down his diary and shook his overly excited and dizzy brain.

The excitement is far greater than the previous time when he obtained the treasure tree, after all, no matter how good the treasure tree is, it is still a foreign object, but this is related to the future of his wizard path!

Could it be that the merger of the "Adventurer's Blood" dual swords of himself and Olivia also has the function of amplifying the extraordinary gathering effect?

After that, if you go out to shop more, except for the second volume that already has clues, even the fifth volume "The Blood of the Creator" is not a dream!

Aivan, who had almost nowhere to put his hands and feet, picked up Olivia, who was also looking at the research materials of the "Iron Man" next to him, and kissed her fiercely on her flushed cheek:

"Hersie, you are my goddess of luck!"
