Chapter 5 Puppetry

The game system only has an E rating for equipping the "3rd Order Warlock Luther".

The level of human magic is divided into zero order to tenth order, although the third-order warlock is not ridiculously strong, but it is by no means a stall, and among the ten warlocks, only three or four can reach the third order and above.

Linde took off his gloves and carefully observed the pair of S-class rated manipulators, the metallic luster of black alloy, nearly one-fifth longer than the original fingers, and the flesh and blood at the wrist were perfectly integrated with the machinery.

After a period of practice, Linde has mastered this pair of manipulators.

The grip of the robot can be several times stronger, and it can easily crush hard skulls and bend iron railings, so that Linde can defeat most enemies even in close combat.

At the same time, these hands can also be perfectly grafted with the flesh butterflies of life dolls.

For the average puppeteer, in order to manipulate the life puppet, it is necessary not only to make an opening in the puppet's brain, but also to make an opening in his own brain and place the other half of the granule butterfly, which is accompanied by huge risks and mistakes.

Linde, on the other hand, can achieve the same function by simply placing the granule butterfly inside the mechanical wrist, with minimal error and danger.

"Wire cage."

The wire cage, a fifth-order technique, forms a precursor composed of lines by releasing a large number of threads and relying on the various support points of the room.

With the mechanical hand, Linde, a mortal with no magical power, could also use the fifth-order technique.

At this moment, Luther's whole body was facing the ground, holding his breath, and the lancet hidden in his mouth was about to move.

Even if he didn't have a technique, Luther had practiced various fighting techniques at the Red Dragon Warlock Academy, and even if he was tied up, he could hold a knife in his mouth and cut the opponent's neck without mistake.

What is this sound?

What's rubbing?

Luther could now only discern Linde's location by hearing, and he reached a suitable position in Linde.

Linde took two steps towards Luther, and Luther leaped to his feet with his strong body.

"Give me death!"

Luther's fierce light was revealed, and his head shook with all his might, and the lancet in his mouth shot like an arrow into Linde's throat.

Perfect!

As the tip of the lancet slipped away from Linde's throat, Luther couldn't help but be excited, and next, he wanted to blow Linde's head with his thick thigh.

The flying knife actually stopped in the air, Luther's blue pupils couldn't help shrinking, and the whole person retreated.

"How could it be ......."

In the dim light, if you look closely, the table legs, the bed, the candle holder, the fireplace, the tongs, the bookshelves, the beams, and your own arms, feet, and head, the whole room is covered with hidden lines.

Even a third-order puppet warlock couldn't master so many lines.

Luther shuddered all over, it stands to reason how could a newly awakened puppeteer possess such a powerful technique.

Once the cage is complete, this is Linde's domain.

"Up!"

With a curl of the middle finger of his left hand, the silk thread from the ceiling hooked the collar of Luther's Assassin-style suit, lifting it up.

Puppetry.

Wire control is the control of the line, and puppet control is the manipulation of the puppet on the basis of the line control technique.

Punch out.

Turned.

Grin.

Elbow strike.

Take a bow.

......

"It's ....... The newly awakened puppeteer, no, no....... Could it be that he has been holding back before......."

Luther couldn't believe why he was at the mercy of a puppet.

And Luther felt a dull ache in the left side of his skull, as if he was suppressing his anger and breeding fear.

"The movements are too stiff, and the strength is not fully used, so it seems that even if you inherit the knowledge, you will need more practice to fully master it."

Linde's ten fingers dance up and down, constantly manipulating the puppet to complete various movements.

In the face of absolute strength suppression, Luther's anger was completely buried by fear and unknown, and the powerful warlock in front of him was not at all like Linde, who was weak before, because of this, the more he thought about it, the more he felt a strong fear.

After some time.

Well, that's pretty much it, this puppetry is to forcibly drive the puppet's body, and it will damage the puppet's body.

Luther himself was scarred, and it would not be good if he played badly, and Luther would be useful at the Blood Clan dinner tomorrow.

"Solution."

Linde unhooks the thread.

Luther fell to the ground with a snap.

Lind picked up the spare spellcasting gloves from Luther's equipment backpack and threw them to Luther.

"Put it on, Luther, my hired knight, the demons whispering in your brain still seem to exist."

"Whispering Demon, this ......"

Luther was puzzled and apprehensively put on the Spellcasting Gloves, and now he had the ability to reuse the powerful Pyrometry without the desire to use it.

"Yes, the devil is in your brain, Luther, and as long as you have the desire to betray, the demon will feed you on the evil desire of your brain."

Linde's consciousness moved.

Luther felt his brain swell, his thoughts cloudy, as if countless ugly and deformed demons were playing with him and tearing him apart.

"No, no, no!!"

Lind put his hand on Luther's shoulder, and his tone was soft:

"Rest assured, as long as you no longer have any desire to betray, then the demon will not have food and will not torture you."

The Book of Centipedes contains not only a variety of technical knowledge, but also some knowledge of "managing life dolls".

In Linde's eyes, this knowledge has the feeling of 'PUA' and 'painting a big pie'.

Luther felt to the right side of his head, and a distinct circular tear could be felt on the scalp under his golden curls.

Brain openings, swelling pains, and puppeteers—

A horrible, forbidden word came to Luther's mind, and he couldn't help but say:

"Raw...... Puppet ......."

"You know the life puppet?"

There is a huge knowledge barrier between different kinds of warlocks, and the life puppet is the secret of the puppet warlock, and Linde didn't expect that the other party would know the life puppet.

The knowledge about the life puppet was told to him by Smollett, the teacher of the Lutheran Warlock's general education class, while he was idle in class.

Smalllet, a fifth-order puppeteer who had been sentenced to five years in prison for stealing the corpse of a sixth-order warlock, still remembered the hunger-beast-like fervor in Smollet's eyes when he talked about the life puppet.

"Know some, the miracle of the puppeteer, the taboo ...... of life"

Luther was completely stunned, the life puppet is like the puppet warlock, just like the philosopher's stone is to the alchemist, and the nirvana flame is to the pyromancer.

Luther's index finger squeezed into his brain, trying to carefully pry the piece of meat, but he stopped timidly.

Teacher Smollett's whispers kept coming to his mind.

Perfect manipulation, puppet miracles, lifelong dreams......

As an explorer, Luther was also very enthusiastic about these miracles, and he was once so excited to see the headmaster's seventh-order technique that he couldn't sleep for three days.

But now, Luther could never have imagined that he would meet one of the miracles of the Warlock in this way.

Once made into a puppet of life, a person will become a slave of others for life, lose his freedom, and lose everything.

Luther had the idea of killing himself for a moment, but he was timid at the thought of his agreement with his three girlfriends and the fact that his savings in his hometown had not yet been spent.

"What to do? Why did Lao Tzu encounter such a shit thing, if everything is really as Smollet said...... ...... said"

Stare at! Stare at!

Lind's knuckles thumped rhythmically on the table, pulling Luther back from godlessness and despair:

"Luther, now that you know what a life puppet is, I hope you will obey my orders well, and I don't want you to have any more betrayals."

"Uh-huh......."

Luther's face was low, he knew the horror of life dolls.

Anyone, if they learn that they have become a puppet, also needs a huge buffer time.

Lind looked at Luther, his eyes blank, and then spoke briefly.

"Night is coming, go back to your room and rest, Luther, tomorrow, I need your strength to deal with a few Bloods."

Bloodline!

Luther's originally dead heart suddenly stirred waves.
