Chapter 494: Stalker (Ask for Recommendation Ticket!Ask for Monthly Pass!)
Looking at Quest, he became much more wary of the uninvited guest, "I don't know what you're talking about. β
As he spoke, his steps staggered slightly, as if he was a little exhausted.
"It's all right," Puwu, the half-sheep man, pulled out a licorice stick and handed it over, "You'd better eat this." β
The remnant of the Wonder Craftsman just waved his hand, and then held on to the edge of the laboratory table beside him, barely supporting his body.
"No, I don't. If you want to leave, please do whatever you want, I won't do anything to stop you, but ......"
β...... You won't leave without finishing that armor," interrupted his explanation, and Quest winked at him.
Since the young blue dragon took the initiative to press the fast-forward button, Shay no longer had any cover, and decisively activated the mechanism he had arranged.
His fingers tapped twice on the bench, and the egg-shaped protective shield instantly rose and enveloped it.
And in the corner of this small laboratory, a shrine that was once considered a work of art by Quest suddenly made a "Kerala" sound.
The shrine gradually changed shape, two pairs of hoofed feet and a pair of arms stretched out, and the head of the idol began to extend forward.
It wasn't long before what seemed like seven or eight heartbeats were needed for a mechanical centaur to appear in the lab.
However, the pair of golden trap wings spread out on its back, as well as the barbed chains at the ends of its arms, indicate that it is no ordinary monster.
It is a tracker, a scout of the Legion of Sanctioners created by the Wizards to carry out assassination and tracking missions.
"Listen, I don't want to be your enemy, I just want to protect myself. The proposal just now is counted, if you want to leave, please try to leave as soon as possible. β
Ignoring what he said, Quest was even more curious about the "traditional craftsmanship" of the strange craftsman who appeared in front of him.
There is no gender difference, the sanctioner is never corrupted, and he is not seduced by power and has no intention of pursuing the improvement of individual power.
They are near-perfect weapons, the vanguard of order in the service of the ideal world of the Wizard Craftsman.
In order to facilitate the exertion of power in the various worlds of the sanctioners, their bodies are often modeled in the form of mechanical constructs.
This design is actually relatively old compared to the golems that are constantly being played by spellcasters today.
But that doesn't stop Quest from appreciating his advanced production philosophy and his near-real-life creature acumen.
You know, even golems that have been stuffed with elemental spirits, some kind of primordial souls, can't do it like the sanctioners.
The sanctioners can brilliantly perform various set tasks, and in times of difficulty, they even think independently.
Most of the time, the Golem needs to be manipulated by the caster, otherwise it won't be able to do a slightly more complicated task.
"What a genius design! Every joint accentuates order, not only does it move naturally, but it also saves a lot of energy. β
Stroking the Centaur in the form of a Centaur made of Mithril, Adamantite, and even rarer materials, Quest couldn't help but admire.
"What kind of sanctioner is it? It's certainly not a ranger or a hunter, those guys have a lot more strength than it. β
The two types of rangers and hunters in Quest's mouth are the two most common types of sanctioners in the dragon knowledge inheritance.
Dragons have been given memories that define them as "extremely dangerous", as they have performed more than one dragon slaying operation.
Through an inductive analysis of the slaughtered dragons' behavior, the dragons figured out the approximate mission objectives of the two types of sanctioners:
The Rangers are roughly responsible for the order of the plane, while the Hunters are primarily aimed at those who use extraordinary means to prolong their lives.
The tasks they faced, and their success in slaying dragons, illustrated the strength of those two sanctioners.
But this mechanical centaur is strong, but if it is to reach the level of dragon slaying, it is obviously somewhat reluctant.
Otherwise, the young blue dragon that turned into a human form would not be able to easily subdue it with force and inspect it unscrupulously.
"Be light, don't destroy my creation, that's all I've done so far!"
Watching Quest crush the centaur crunches the ground and bind it tightly with the barbed chains on his arms, Shay was a little apprehensive as he spoke.
In fact, he is completely redundant.
Although it seems to be a rough move, and there is a posture of disassembling it into parts if he disagrees, but Ques is not a bear child after all, how can he be violent when he sees the joy of hunting?
However, it is convenient for Ques to ask.
"Mr. Shay, you haven't told me the model yet, maybe I'll let go of my hand after assessing the danger level. β
"Its name is Brad Wald," Shay, whose face was full of "reluctance," said helplessly, "I created the tracker." β
He then briefed Quest on the abilities of the Trackers and their role in the Legion of the Sanctioners.
"They are sanctioners who play the role of bounty hunter and killer, and they are responsible for hunting down creatures that are evading justice. β
"Whether it's a bold fanatic who fights the law, or a wicked person who uses power to cover up his ugly deeds, they are all targets for stalkers. β
"The tracker doesn't have values, and whenever it enters a world, it does its job as much as possible in accordance with local laws. β
"For example, they may travel through several planes to hunt down a serial killer, but they won't touch a corrupt official who is ten times more harmful than this - as long as he has not been convicted of a crime by the local public authority......."
Quiz listened to the information about the tracker with relish, but the half-sheep man Puu on the side was a little impatient, so he took the initiative to remind: "Two, can the discussion about the tracker be over? β
Quest nodded, but replied, "Nice suggestion, but I think it's good for escape...... Beneficial. β
As he spoke, he looked at the remnants of the Wizard Craftsman Clan hiding in the protective shield with a playful gaze, "I guess this tracker is probably Mr. Shay's preparation. It's just that he doesn't know if there is any flaw, so he didn't borrow this body to escape. β
Shay was shocked again, his introduction did not reveal any information about it at all, but the strange adventurer had once again accurately guessed the secret he had deliberately hidden.
Originally, he also thought that the two guys who suddenly appeared in front of him might be sent by the Doomsday Guardians to test his manpower. After all, the half-sheep man had sent him supplements many times, and according to his inference, Puu was a member of the regiment's leader, Pant, who was more trusted.
Quith, who appeared with the Half-Sheep - initially considered by Shay to be a mortal adventurer - but as the exchange increased, he discovered that he knew a lot about the secrets of the Wizard Clan, and that he knew more about it than the Soul Judge Leader.
With the wisdom of the Wonder Craftsman, he didn't think that a guy with such insight as Quith was just a mere mortal adventurer with no name.
"How do you know?"
Shay asked warily, though the language he used this time was the "language of truth", the official lingua franca of the ancient kingdom of the Wizards.
This language is full of the power of order, and the rigor of the language is higher than that of purgatory used by the devil.
The amazing thing is that even if no spell is applied, ordinary people can understand the meaning when they hear it.
Moreover, when the other races answer, in the ears of the Wizard Craftsman, their words will be automatically converted into their own language.
Therefore, the ancient craftsmen named it "the true language", which means that this language can penetrate all falsehoods and disguises.
Of course, Quest didn't know this, and he still thought that the "clever tongue technique" was at work, so he replied normally:
"You were able to order the stalker to attack me, the one who has not yet been convicted, so it can be seen that the stalker is just a faΓ§ade and not planted with a command message. Given your previous performance, it's not hard for me to guess that this may be your preparation to escape the barrier. β
Unbeknownst to Quiss, however, his words had been translated into a language with a short plosive.
"This is the language of the dragon, he is a dragon in human form!"
Shay was shocked, then relieved, and finally even a little excitedβhe finally had a chance to escape from the Doom Guardians.
At this point, he no longer worries that Quis will be against him, because the "sage" of the ancient craftsman clan once had a pact with the nine-faced dragon god Io.
The father of the dragons, who adhered to the path of neutrality, was, in a sense, a supporter of the idea of a "sage".
Out of his belief in the idea of "harmony is order" proposed by the "sages", he embraced it and rooted it in the dragon's lineage.
As a result, even if many of the Balancers or Sanctioners slaughtered the dragons, no dragon god would retaliate against them.
Io also advocated that the dragon could help the Craftsman in the form of an "equivalent exchange" without endangering himself.
Able to transform perfectly, and knowing so many secrets at the same time, Shay even thought that Quis might be an ancient dragon.
Although he didn't know the purpose of the other party's trip, if he could get his help, it would undoubtedly make it much easier to escape.
Since being taken captive by the Doom Guardians to the bottomless abyss, Shay has done too much against his will, and his patience is approaching the limit.
If it weren't for the culture of the Wonder Craftsman, where suicide is a blasphemous act that disrupts order, he would have chosen to cut himself off long ago.
But now that Shay sees hope again, the only thing he thinks about is how to make an "equivalent exchange" with Queth.
After all, in the oath between the dragon god and the sage, this fair trade is the basis of cooperation, and both parties must abide by it.
After thinking about it, Shay first stroked his chest with his right hand, bent down slightly and bowed to Quest before continuing:
"Great dragon, I want to fulfill my ancient oath with Iri, and I don't know what you need to make it a condition to help me get out of this place. β
He chose to get straight to the point.
