Mo Li picked up the short knife in his hand and looked closely. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was a pure steel weapon, less than two feet long, with a richly carved hilt and a blade that was almost transparent. The weapons dealer told him that it was the knife that the Blood Princess Rogie Vimilia had used.

Most of the time it was a lie to him.

But even so, this is a good knife without a doubt, and since it was bought, it can't be wasted.

Moli decides to eat it.

He took out a small, flat box from his bosom and opened the lid to reveal neatly stacked pieces of copper. Each square copper block was only the size of a thumb, and Mo Li twisted a piece and threw it into his mouth without looking at it.

There was no chewing, just a few movements in the throat, and the copper nug was swallowed. He felt the heavy copper stop between his chest and abdomen, wrapped in layers by the technique, and no longer falling.

Mo Li took a deep breath and activated the spell, igniting the copper.

The thumb-sized copper square was burned out in an instant, and the scorching and surging power was released, rolling inside his body. Mo Li methodically mobilized the technique, restraining the power of copper and channeling it into all parts of his body—his hands, feet, chest and abdomen, and even his teeth.

He picked up the short knife again, held the handle with his left hand, and pinched the tip of the knife with the thumb and index finger of his right hand.

There was a soft "click".

Copper multiplied his strength, and the tip of this short knife made of pure steel was actually broken by his fingers.

Mo Li looked at the tip of the knife, which was less than an inch long, hesitated for a few seconds, and then threw it into his mouth and chewed it. The sharp blade that could be broken by blowing hair was bitten by him like eating a shortbread, and he swallowed it with a "click".

Immediately afterward, he broke off the second paragraph and ate it.

And then there's the third paragraph......

Mo Li's speed became faster and faster, and in less than two minutes, the entire knife was swallowed into his stomach, even the hilt. He unleashed his spell, igniting the knife that had been bitten into a pile of metal chips.

He already had three weapons in his body - a broad-bladed sword, a thin soft sword, and a dagger. They were all eaten by Mo Li before, and after the weapon was eaten and ignited, there would be no more form, but all their attributes were solidified in the technique, and as long as Mo Li moved, they could reappear in his hand and use it against the enemy.

If he succeeds this time, Moli will have a fourth weapon.

But-

A sharp pain like a minced internal organ suddenly exploded between Mo Li's chest and abdomen, and he couldn't help but scream without warning, but then he grabbed something from his side and stuffed it into his mouth, letting his teeth bite it tightly.

He didn't snort again, but the pain didn't subside. His eyes were closed, his hands were clenched into fists, his nails were sunk deep into his flesh, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and cold sweat was pouring down like water.

Inside, the short knife that had just been eaten was frantically attacking other weapons. The first to bear the brunt was the broad-bladed sword, the body of the sword was wide and thick, and it was also made of pure steel, but it was cut off by a short blade, and then it was twisted into pieces. Mo Li tried to mobilize the technique to stop it, but the speed of the short knife was much faster, and it pounced on the remaining two weapons, and in the same twist, it completely shattered them.

But then, as if satisfied, it stopped leisurely, and let the spell come from all directions, wrapping it around and around it.

Five minutes later, Mo Li finally opened his eyes slowly, and the short knife in his body suddenly became peaceful after destroying the three weapons, allowing the technique to restrain and absorb it.

Moli lost three weapons and got a knife. However, this knife seems to be much more powerful than the previous three.

Only then did he remember to spit out what he was biting into his mouth—a piece of copper that had not yet had time to be cut into small pieces, and by this time he had bitten out two rows of deep tooth marks. When he saw it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

When burned, copper strengthens the body, and is the most used element of Moli.

He is not a human being, but a "puppet".

Puppets are puppets constructed by spell magicians with spell spells, they have almost the same body as humans, independent thinking and consciousness, but all this is just the appearance, under this, there are extremely complex spells that no one can understand, these spells are the core of the puppet, and they are the foundation of all their life characteristics.

All magicians are born with a spell - the alchemy. By swallowing different metals and burning them, they can temporarily gain different powers, such as swallowing copper for strength and physical strength, sodium for speed, and iron for quick wound healing. Because they can use alchemy, the combat power of the puppet is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

But it is only stronger than ordinary people, and on the continent, the combat power of the puppet is far from being strong.

The territory of this continent belongs to two major powers.

To the south, there is the ******** country "Morning Star Empire", where the authority of the Prayer Star Cult spreads to every corner of the empire, and millions of knights constitute the main military force of the empire. The Morning Star Empire occupies nearly two-thirds of the continent.

To the north, known as the "Land of the Polar Night", the Vimilians are the masters, they are blood, but not vampires in the traditional sense. Although they make good use of the power of blood, they no longer suck blood and are no longer afraid of the sun, and they maintain their strength through the special ore "Blood Essence" produced in the polar night land. After the "Crescent Change" more than two hundred years ago, they no longer even maintained a family-style aristocracy, but established a parliament and established a political system of constitutional monarchy.

There is almost no middle ground between the two powers, only a completely straight border made of cast copper plates, known as "copper lines". The creators of the copper engraving are the Conjurer's Guild, the most mysterious organization in the world, and once the most powerful. A hundred years ago, they drew a bronze line and issued a circular to the two powers that they were not to cross the line for any "non-peaceful purpose".

This, of course, does not serve any purpose.

The day after the proclamation was issued, the Morningstar Empire's army began to assemble on the border, and on the fifth day, the army set up camp and crossed the copper line to make its way to Berdel, the border city of the Vimilia family.

But just then, the Magicians' Guild's floating island flew over the bronze carving line, a behemoth the size of a city, and before the sun set that day, an army of ten thousand knights and knights' squires was wiped out, with less than a hundred survivors.

On the seventh day after the announcement was issued, the Vimilia family attempted to take advantage of the defeat of the Morningstar Empire to launch a counterattack, only to be devastated by the Floating Island.

This later became known as the "Seven Days War" - not between the Morning Star Empire and the Vimilia family, but between the two sides and the Conjuretor's Guild - and resulted in a crushing defeat.

From then on, no one dared to start a war across the copper line, and the Conjurer's Guild sent puppets to station along the line. The power of the puppets is not strong, only slightly stronger than the knights of the Morning Star Empire, but they represent the power of the Conjurer's Guild, so no one dares to infringe.

It wasn't until ten years ago that there was a change in the Far East.

Legend has it that the floating island of the Conjuretors Guild fell there. No one has seen it with their own eyes, but in the last decade, there has really been no trace of them on this continent.

The binding force of the copper engraving line gradually weakened, and the puppet was no longer inviolable.

Even many of the puppets no longer abide by their duties, and begin to turn a blind eye to the battles on the border, and some even escape and blend into human or blood society.

However, for Moli, he still hopes to abide by the mission given to him by the Conjuring Wizards Association. The reason is simple - the Conjurer's Guild has given him life, power, and even autonomy, and he does not want to easily abandon the mission given to him by his creators.

But now without the support of the Conjurer's Guild, if there is no strong strength, abiding by one's duties is just an empty word.

Mo Li thought as he stood up and walked towards the door.

The house is divided into two floors and is in the form of a standard square and is made of unknown gray stone. The upper floor is the living quarters, and the lower floor is a workshop for processing metal and crafting weapons. Mo Li walked out of the door, the sun outside had already set in the west, a dozen steps away, the copper carved line paved by cast copper plates spanned the east and west, and extended to the end of the field of vision. The opposite side of the copper line is equally desolate, and about a hundred paces away is a lush wood.

Moli knew that about two miles away, there was another stationing point for the puppets, and about ten miles away, there was a human town. In order to increase his strength, he has visited many other puppets in the past few years, and even entered the surrounding human and blood towns, but the results have disappointed him - the puppets can only use the alchemy, whether it is the star prayer of the Star Prayer Cult or the blood power of the Blood, he cannot practice.

But it wasn't completely unrewarding, and in his interactions with the puppets, he found his differences: first, he could burn two metals at the same time, while the other puppets could only use one, and secondly, he could devour weapons in addition to the metal, and he was able to restore the weapon's properties, but the other puppets could only burn as metal after swallowing the weapon.

After discovering the second ability, Moli began to trade with human or blood weapon dealers, occasionally picking up some special weapons and coming back to eat them to enhance his combat effectiveness.

Mo Li walked around twice, and nothing special happened around here today, but just as he was about to return to the hut, there was a commotion in the woods across the copper line.

It was the sound of a horse galloping through the woods, breaking tiny branches, and the last time Moli heard it, he had seen it—

Knights of the Morning Star Empire!

Nowadays, many puppets may not dare to clash with the knights of the Empire, but Moli is not one of them. He stopped, turned and stood where he was, staring coldly at the woods.

A few seconds later, a petite figure sprang out of the woods and scurried in the direction of the copper line, but when it was still five or six steps away, it suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Mo Li frowned, and walked towards the other party, wanting to see what was going on, but as soon as he took two steps, four horses rushed out of the woods, and the knights on the horses were all dressed in silver-white armor and carrying heavy double-edged swords on their backs, and as soon as Mo Li saw them, he knew that he had guessed correctly.

This is the knight of the Empire.
