Chapter 212: Hundred puppet drills
"No, it's just a normal reaction. ”
"You're nervous?"
"No, it's just a little anxious considering that I'll be facing that Ghost Rider tonight. ”
Li Ang's expression was tense, and he said righteously.
"I see. ”
Leon was silent and looked at the setting sun in the distance: "Cecilia, have you seen that ghost rider?"
"Of course, it's very aggressive, I've fought it, but luckily Vivien arrived in time, otherwise I would have died at its hands. ”
"It's so powerful?"
Leon couldn't help but look sideways, although he couldn't tell which stage Cecilia was in the middle sequence, but from Vivien's words, it was obvious that she had been stuck at the peak of the middle sequence for a long time.
Vivien even felt that she was qualified to break through the high sequence, but this Cecilia was not the match for that Ghost Rider?
"It's the most powerful being I've ever seen besides Vivien. ”
Leon asked, "It almost killed you?" were you afraid?"
Cecilia thought for a moment before she said, "I don't feel that way, but I really don't want to die there, because when I die, nothing exists. ”
"And what if Avalon is in danger and needs your life to save it?"
Cecilia's pale green eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, "I never thought this would happen, what do you think I should do?"
Leon shook his head and said, "No one can make decisions for you, because you are an independent being, even if you have a heart of stone." ”
She nodded solemnly: "I will think about this carefully." ”
"You think about it," said Leon, "because you are not without emotion, because according to the instinct of all living things, there is nothing more important than life except to reproduce." ”
Cecilia looked at Leon's side face, a shadow cast in the sun, and she couldn't help but ask, "How long can you stay in Avalon?"
"It won't be long, I have one more commission to follow. ”
"It's a shame. ”
"It's okay, I'll try to help you during this time. ”
"In return, I will also help you obtain the Sword of the Stone to the extent permitted by the rules. ”
"Thank you. ”
Leon laughed.
...
In the evening, the sun is low and the twilight is hazy.
Leon stood up and said to Cecilia, "It's almost dark, and the Ghost Rider is about to appear." ”
Cecilia asked, "What are you going to do? Look for it in the city?" I must warn you that it is very dangerous. ”
Leon agreed, "That's true, so I'm not going to look for it in the city myself, Cecilia, can I cut down that grove?"
"I don't know, it's Anna Yeta's private woodland, you have to ask her for advice, it's the rule - if you need wood, you can cut down the piece that belongs to me. ”
Li Ang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Thank you for your help." ”
"Hmm. ”
Cecilia led Leon to a manor.
"This is my home, you can stay here tonight. ”
"Good. ”
He pushed open the fence outside, revealing a large woodland that resembled birch trees, with twilight casting a large silhouette on the ground through the dense foliage.
"Is that enough?"
Leon was satisfied: "Enough." ”
Cecilia wondered, "What do you want wood for?" beech is good for furniture and spices, but other than that, it doesn't seem to have much merit." ”
Leon explained, "I'm going to use them as my eyes, find the Ghost Rider for me, and monitor it to get information in advance." ”
He opened his hand, and the sound of rustling around him suddenly discontinued.
"I see it...... Silk thread?"
"Yes, I'll use these threads to manipulate them. ”
The filaments of the activated puppets gradually connect to each tree, and layers of bark and sawdust peel off along the grain, as if there were countless skilled puppeteers carving at the same time.
There was a dense cutting sound everywhere.
A black crow broke free from its trunk and flew away from the manor in a black shadow.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of puppets that were indistinguishable from ordinary people appeared in the entire manor, and they stood silent, like undead spirits in the twilight, without saying a word.
In the past, what limited Leon was the number of puppets that could be manipulated at the same time, on the one hand, magic, and on the other hand, spiritual power.
Because every time you control a puppet, it is equivalent to having to use two minds, and the number is superimposed, and without strong spiritual power, you can't give full play to the strength of each puppet.
But now, with the Helm of Domination, he has been able to give full play to the talent of [Activated Puppet] and the effect of the puppet demon.
Cecilia wondered, "This is also the method of the witcher?"
She still seemed to be inquisitive, but not surprised.
Leon said thoughtfully, "No, it comes from a demon called the 'Puppet Demon'. To be precise, most of the witcher's abilities come from demons. ”
Cecilia suddenly said, "It's the same as in the scriptures." ”
"Next, I may not be able to respond to your questions, if there is an emergency, you can wake me up. ”
"Good. ”
Leon sat down on the steps of the manor, his eyes slightly closed, and under his control, the puppets quickly left the manor and scattered throughout the city.
And the crows that had just flown out were already in place in the streets and alleys, and the floor plan of the entire city began to take shape in Leon's mind.
But controlling so many puppets at the same time, even with the blessing of the Helm of Domination, it is still approaching the threshold of Leon's spiritual endurance.
Although he can hold on, there is no doubt that it will take a huge toll on him.
If Ghost Rider had the ability to find his body along the threads of his puppet, he would be in a very dangerous position.
But he didn't disband any of the puppets because of this, but said, "Skaty, I need your help." ”
"Good. ”
Scati quickly took over some of the puppets, greatly relieving Leon of the pressure.
This is also the necessity of Scati's existence.
A weapon may not be much different from whether it is a weapon or not, after all, everything depends on the person holding the weapon.
However, the Winter Lord's Helm of Domination is a kind of auxiliary equipment, and many machine spirits have completely surpassed the icing on the cake, especially the machine spirit like Scati, who was once in the god position and was quite high in rank and rank.
...
The sound of wings vibrating sounded.
A crow stood on the eaves, staring at a cloud of white light that slowly appeared in the darkness, its eyes lit up red, and then faded away.
Strictly speaking, these puppeteers are not playing his eyes, but the crows.
The puppeteer is Leon's fishing bait, as well as a tool to attract the fire of the Ghost Rider and judge its aggressiveness, common methods, and abilities.
