Chapter Seventy-Five: Youth
"The puppet's body appears to be flesh and blood, but it is not really human flesh and blood, but something similar. ”
"And inside, there are no organs like the five organs of the human body, only flesh-like flesh or machinery. ”
"The puppet is not like the human body, it is composed of various organs, nerves, blood vessels, etc., forming a self-running system, which is only a carrier of magic consciousness!"
"Making a puppet is roughly divided into three parts:
body structures, usually flesh or machinery;
There are three schools of running programs, including magic circles.
One is the magic that makes direct consciousness (the most classic), such as the Antas controlled by the silver wire, the second is the steam mechanical system, and the third is the consciousness module;
The power source, that is, the magic furnace, and the magic furnace of different types of dolls, are also very different.
For example, the steam furnace of the mechanical puppet, the crystal fireplace of the module puppet, etc. ”
Thor lay down at the table and wrote down his feelings and analysis of the puppet making one by one.
If you make a doll, you can compare it to building a car.
Then the puppet knowledge taught by Maple Grove Castle only tells you the origin and evolution of the car, the technical school of car building, and the frame of the car.
It's general and shallow, just to get you started, and have an idea!
It may be faster and more profound than simply following the textbooks and learning on your own, but that's not all.
For apprentices like Thor, core technologies such as the Consciousness Module, the Magic Circle System, and the Crystal Fireplace are blocked!
The complete process of making dolls, as well as the specific details, can only be accessed by real people from the Maple Grove Castle family.
Of course, this is the universal unspoken rule of the magic world, and it is the cornerstone of the family and mentor inheritance.
Occasionally Thor will have a very ridiculous feeling, that is, the magic world, much like the kung fu in the previous life!
According to Maple Grove Castle, the current attitude towards Thor, it may be difficult for him to become a person from Maple Grove Castle.
In order to master as much puppet magic as possible before the accident happens.
Saul spares no expense, renting laboratories and buying finished dolls in an attempt to learn and progress through practical research.
Fortunately, in just over 30 days, Thor's learning progress is almost equivalent to three months, or even half a year for an ordinary apprentice.
Because of the crystal nucleus!
By dissecting corpses and disassembling the finished doll, Thor constructs a "model" of the doll in the crystal nucleus.
Then, according to the "model", the manufacturing steps of the puppet are reversed, and then the materials and tools required are estimated according to the steps.
Of course, this requires a lot of materials, so every time the library opens, Thor leaves the lab.
Targeted access to borrowing materials to solve questions.
Thanks to the crystal nucleus, otherwise relying on Thor himself, he may not be able to understand the information he consults in half a year.
After writing and painting for a long time, Thor stopped his pen and rubbed his eyebrows.
The diamond-shaped sigil dissipated, and the pupil recovered from a crystalline shape.
"It's time for the library to open again. ”
After checking the time through the crystal, Thor stretched his waist and moved his body.
Research materials and codexes into magic scrolls, lift the lunch box on the dining table by the wall, and lock the door to the lab with the key.
Outside the laboratory, there is a long corridor of blue bricks.
The green oil lamp hanging on the wall emitted a dim yellow light and a faint fragrance.
A slow-moving puppet is carrying an oil canister to add cyan oily liquid to the lamps hanging on the wall to keep the light on the three underground floors.
There are three laboratories on this floor, with Thor renting the last one.
At the end of the corridor, there is a spiral upward staircase that leads to the lobby on the first floor of the castle.
"Dada"
The dimly lit steps, the narrow space, echoed with the crisp sound of footsteps.
The flickering lights shone on his body, flickering on and off, reminiscent of the feeling of an evil wizard in a Gothic-style image from a previous life.
It's a pity that Saul "doesn't understand the amorous style", and is immersed in thinking without focus:
"The library on the third floor seems to have a lot of space, but in fact it is very empty, there are not many books, and the information about the production of dolls is not systematic. ”
"This should be, Maple Grove Castle did it on purpose!"
At this moment, two figures also stepped up the steps from around the corner, followed behind Thor, and slowly walked upward.
Thor awoke from his contemplation and looked up to see that he was on the basement level.
These two people are supposed to be apprentices from the laboratory on this level.
When renting the lab, Thor was told that the lab conditions were different on each of the three basement floors.
The first level is suitable for apprentices at Maple Grove Castle for at least two years.
"Are these two the so-called 'old men'?"
Thor used the corner of his eye to secretly look at the two people behind him, but he was disappointed.
Two red-haired teenagers with similar appearances, Sol knows.
A month earlier, when he had just returned to Maple Grove Castle, he had seen them at the top of the staircase.
At that time, the two of them were still timid, and secretly looked at Thor.
Soon, at the end of the spiral staircase, stepping out of the basement, there is the promenade on the first floor of the castle.
The bright light made Thor's pupils shrink, and he paused as he stood in the doorway.
The red-haired brothers, however, walked past without pause, without squinting, ignoring Thor.
"Huh?"
Thor's nose twitched, and a familiar smell entered his nose.
Corpse stink? It's similar, but it's a little different.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed, and Thor blurted out:
"Wait a minute!"
Wow, two pale faces twisted.
The movement is very weird, it is the neck twisted back to the maximum angle, and then the body is rotated.
Pale complexion, chapped lips, dull eyes, red-haired sideburns with snow-white.
"What's the matter?"
The two of them spoke in unison, staring at Thor in a daze, their lips opening and closing, their facial muscles stiffening.
Thor didn't respond immediately, his eyes wandering over the two.
The two men didn't react to Thor's gaze, and without getting a reply, they just stared blankly at Thor.
The air was quiet for a full five minutes before Thor spoke:
"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person. ”
The two teenagers opened their mouths and said "oh" and turned to leave.
I still turn my head first, and then use my neck to drive my body, and the way I walk is also very stiff.
Thor watched the two of them leave silently, two images flickering back and forth in his mind.
A month ago, at the staircase, a pair of immature red-haired teenagers timidly turned around and peeked;
Now, in front, there are two "zombies" with decayed faces, dull eyes, and stiff movements.
"Damn it!"
Thor already had a guess in his mind, more of a fuss and a surprise.
"Isn't this Maple Grove Castle, how dare he!"
The shadows loomed over Thor, making Thor feel more and more urgent.
I returned the lunch box from the restaurant and immediately went to the library on the third floor.
Today, however, unlike usual, Thor didn't spend the whole day in the library.
It came out a few hours later.
It's just that his face is ugly, and he keeps cursing the damn concept of the portal in the magic world.
Thor was looking for a recipe for the ingredients to make the puppet's body, and a "nest" to hatch the body.
However, only a few minutiae were found, and nothing was found about the core information.
"No, you have to enter the Void Ancient City of the Magic Network and think of a way. ”
But now the situation is that Thor does not dare to easily connect to the magic network.
Because connecting to the magic network will cause a short period of consciousness, this Maple Grove Castle is a not very friendly magic workshop.
Absentmindedly, Thor made his way to the first-floor dining room, retrieved the refilled food box, and returned to the underground lab.
"Oh hehe..."
No sooner had he stepped up the spiral steps leading to the basement than an oozing laugh rang out from the shadows.
Thor's body stiffened, his muscles tensed for a moment, and his gaze condensed into shadows.
As if there, there was a deadly viper!
In the dim light, one of the red-haired brothers who had seen him earlier walked out slowly, and an oh oh laugh came out of his mouth.
"Sanar, it's you!"
Thor gritted his teeth as the Totem Wheel gathered momentum.
