Chapter 656: The Devil's Puppet (Part I)
The puppet that Salin took out was also an experimental product. Produced in the alchemy factory of the Floating City, he is three meters tall and humanoid. It's just that there are two more mechanical arms that rotate 360 degrees under the ribs. These two arms are embedded inwards in the grooves and are not used in normal times, but can be used to manipulate weapons or carry out engineering work when necessary.
The golem has metal wings mounted on its back, etched with a wind-based magic array, allowing it to fly quickly over short distances. The golems are equipped with a series of small weapons, including mechanical crossbows, long knives, and javelins.
This kind of puppet is not mass-produced, after all, Salin still has the ancient warriors in his hands, and there are star dolls, and such a puppet was designed for construction. Just by the way, the equipment for the battle was increased.
However, in the eyes of the puppet in front of him, the red crystals flickered for a while, and gradually a black mist condensed, turning the red eyes into purple. The miniature magic furnace inside the golem's body emitted a muffled explosion. The explosion was not very strong, it was a state of overload in the Mana Furnace.
Saleen still wrapped the puppet in the field, and he found that the core of the puppet, the six-sided crystal* that controlled the magic array, was also making a slight cracking sound.
A black mist seeped out of the magic furnace, slowly dyeing the entire golem a deep purple. The red material has lost its original appearance and has some tendency to decay.
Seeing that Saleen had no orders, the puppet suddenly took a step forward, knelt down, and made a crisp metallic sound.
"Master, what do you need me to do?"
Not only was Salin startled, but the nearby mages and warriors also looked at this puppet in surprise. It's a high-level puppet, but he doesn't have intelligence. If a puppet had intelligence, "that was a matter of ancient times."
Salin looked at the purple puppet and "silently probed it with his mental power, the inside of the puppet's body, the magic furnace has completely changed its form.
The six entrances and exits closed, and the bronze surface of the furnace turned light black. Six closed entrances, like closed eyes, the Magic Forge still powering the golems, but also devouring them. It devours the various elemental forces that travel through space, and then absorbs it into its body* like human breath and "permeates into the magic furnace."
On the surface of the Magic Furnace, many devil symbols appeared. It's just that these symbols are purple, crooked, and mysterious to the mage.
I don't know why, such a symbol gives power to the puppet.
Salin stretched out his hand to summon a star puppet, and then said to the puppet, "Try it with him*......"
Saleen himself didn't realize that the puppet spoke Gumails.
The puppet received Salin's order to "leap forward, the long knife already in hand, and slashed at the star puppet." The star puppet spear picked up the puppet with ease. It's just that the spear's backstab after provoking it didn't hit the purple puppet, but was pushed away by the mechanical arm under the purple puppet's ribs.
The two things fought in ping-pong, and the movement and strength were breathtaking.
At this time, Salin didn't do anything else, but carefully analyzed why this puppet had become a thing with intelligence.
Demonization?
Saleen knew very little about the Devil's Plane, and not much was mentioned in the mage's notes.
Salin instantly calculated a lot in his mind. Magical perpetual motion machine "puppet army, demonized."
If you combine these three things, if you can control yourself, you will have a powerful soldier. And the main material of these soldiers is metal, and then add a miniature magic furnace "and a devil's crystal nucleus."
It's just that, when it comes to the unknown, the mage is always cautious.
Of course, Saleen couldn't have known about the demonic puppet of the trap right now, and he didn't know why the magic crucible had become a living thing.
The power of the devil Salin does not understand, and if it is uncontrollable, it makes no sense.
The battle went on quickly and briefly, and a minute later, the purple golem was hit by the spear of the star puppet, and its entire body was pierced, and the spear hit the puppet's control core.
With a click, the puppet directly stopped running, but the purple miniature magic furnace, still breathing the free energy in the space, did not stop running due to the destruction of the control core.
At this time, Salin also discovered that the real control core of this demonized puppet is this miniature magic furnace. In other words, something mysterious happened in the magic furnace, which changed the devil's crystal nucleus and became an intelligent life.
Or rather, it is a way of resurrection of the devil.
And the resurrected devil has lost his original consciousness, and naturally regards the puppet controlled by Salin as his own body, and also regards Salin as his master.
Salin's heart settled down slightly, and the devil was also under the control of a powerful force, so he would be bloodthirsty and murderous.
Thinking of this, Salin immediately struck the drums of fear again, unleashing all the pests inside and snatching the finger-sized black crystal.
Fifty devil squads, two hundred squads formed a legion, and the number of demons pouring out only passed through the floating city of more than 100,000 n Sarin. The pressure was also high, and he carried almost all of the inventory magic cores with him this time, and if necessary, he had to fight Faka.
But the number of devils was so huge, and an army of ninth-level devils soon appeared, which made Saleen unexpected. If it was just a low-level devil, it would not be a problem for him to fight in the Floating City for a year or two, but a ninth-level devil would need at least ninth-level magic to kill it quickly.
This is tried, the level of the devil, which represents the ability to resist the devil. Eighth-level magic is weak for ninth-level devils, and they will only die immediately when they are hit.
However, the ninth-level devils are already legion-like formations, and all the devils are wearing something similar to magic armor. These armors may not be able to defend against level 8 magic, but they have the ability to sense armor, which means that when the power of magic is too strong for the armor to bear, scale-like structures will bloom on the armor, and these scales will burst to cancel out the attack of magic. In this way, the power of the eighth-level magic cannot completely destroy the armor.
Although the ninth-level magic is one level behind the eighth-level magic, it already has some abilities in the realm, so it is not something that the induction armor can defend.
Salin stepped back again, he put away the dead purple puppet, and had already judged in his heart that the strength of this puppet itself could reach level nine, but the weapons and equipment on the body were not as good as the star puppet, and this new life form had not yet adapted to the puppet's body, so it could not exert the power it should have at all.
The star puppet is the astrologer's combat weapon, and its combat power is close to that of the Golden Sword Master.
It is also the power of the ninth level, the Golden Sword Master, which represents the peak of the ninth level.
What Salin took out this time was still a miniature magic furnace, and instead of inlaying it into the puppet, he released Shui Yan and added some magic materials to re-refine this miniature magic furnace.
Outside the miniature magic furnace, it was wrapped in Shui Yan, and countless runes penetrated into it, forming a large fragment of eternal control.
The Eternal Control Fragment was researched by Salin to simulate the three pieces of broken jade, and through his continuous improvement, he was able to control any life that was lower than his own level. And those three pieces of broken jade simply ignore the level.
Now, Saleen has not only added the eternal control rules he has researched to the magic furnace, but also added another secret method of the crystal wall system. More square symbols were forged into the miniature magic forge, which gradually shrunk into a piece of equipment that was less than a foot tall.
The six openings in the magic furnace were still there, and Saleen threw in six of the devil's dark crystal nuclei and then sealed the miniature magic furnace with his own lightning domain.
Tiny currents shot into the magic furnace, which twisted in front of Saleen and began to explode. This explosion was dozens of times stronger than Fang Cai's explosion, and the dark crystal nucleus of the six fast devils was smelted into liquid in the magic furnace, and began to transform the magic furnace.
Only this time, the difficulty of transformation was too high, the black mist leaked out of the magic furnace, was compressed back by the lightning field, and hundreds of currents entered the magic furnace every second, transforming the energy structure inside.
This miniature magic furnace wanted to bounce on the ground, but it was suppressed by the lightning field, and it could only be replaced by a slow beetle. The semi-metallic shell has now decayed for the most part, and the metal structure is no longer visible.
"Master!" a clear voice shouted from inside the miniature magic furnace that Tisarin was overjoyed, this newly created thing had a clear spiritual communication with himself. Not a soul, but a ghost-like being. But this life is enclosed in a magical crucible and will never come out. The miniature magic forge has been turned into a prison, which is difficult to open even for Salin. Once opened, the resurrection of the devil loses its protection, and the most vulnerable parts will dissipate, and even if they don't die, they will lose their wisdom.
Only this form of life can exert the power of a ninth-level devil.
In other words, kill six ninth-level demons in order to create a furnace of conscious magic. The magic crucible has consciousness, and as a puppet core, it has a completely different meaning.
Salin, like ancient humans, was finally able to create self-aware and powerful puppets. And this kind of puppet, even if it is a product of the resurrection of the devil, cannot betray Saleen.
However, such a magic furnace is no longer a pure power core, and it is impossible to equip it with an ordinary mechanical shell.
"Lord, a tenth-level devil has appeared!" Zola reminded Salin, who was addicted to magic experiments.
"Level ten?" Salin raised his head and looked at his monitoring magic array, only to see that on the floating city in the sky, there were hundreds of demon controllers concentrating on attacking a five-meter-tall devil. On the top of the devil's head was a single horn, and the armor on his body was golden, and the front of the armor was on his chest. There was a face cast here, and seeing this face, Salin felt somewhat familiar.
