Chapter 45: The Puppet
"It's a mess!"
"But isn't it, the town is getting more and more chaotic now, those out-of-town guys are really rampant, and someone blew up the bright lights last night."
"Yes, the security brigade searched for half the night."
"Did you find someone who did it?"
"I didn't find it, but I could think with my eyes closed that it must have been done by the out-of-townmen, a bunch of scum on horseback, who had tarnished all the knightly virtues."
"What kind of knights are they, just a bunch of mercenaries."
Early in the morning, Duke came to buy breakfast, and heard someone talking about the fact that the bright light was blown off last night, and the security brigade even searched it in the middle of the night.
Duke went to bed early and didn't hear any movement.
Even if the security brigade comes to search him, he is not afraid, the sand eagle as a murder weapon is an arcane weapon, and no one can find it if he wants to hide it.
Perhaps the unfathomable arcane mage can follow the arcane path to find Duke.
However, the Black Snake family does not have a powerful arcane mage, and only one high priest is a 2-ring arcane mage, but in the spiritual arcane realm, the 2-ring can still only be regarded as a beginner.
"So, I didn't blow the lantern, it was a mercenary from outside." Duke was eating meat buns and was in a relaxed mood.
Walk through the alley towards the construction site of the third vertical street.
The entire construction site is tightly encased in a tin fence.
Looking through the cracks in the tin fence, you can see countless strange large and small machines at work.
There are even large machines like Gundam, and the driver can easily lift a boulder weighing more than a dozen tons by wearing a Gundam shell.
The foundation is tamped with huge stones, and then reinforced and cement is poured in the gaps, so that even airships can land steadily in such a street.
Of course.
The foundation was so solid not to stop the airship, but to resist a possible invasion of the underground.
After all, there are not only birds in the sky, beasts on the ground, and fish swimming in the water, but also many spirit beasts drilled around in the ground. These crypt spirit beasts rarely invade human dwellings, but if they are not afraid of ten thousand, they are afraid that if they really invade, they will definitely kill and injure a large number of people.
Suddenly.
One of the humanoid Gundams slammed into a slam, and then the mechanical body staggered and fell headlong to the ground.
"The No. 3 Giant Puppet is malfunctioning, the No. 3 Giant Golem is malfunctioning, and the puppet repairer will immediately enter the maintenance department!" The people in command on the periphery immediately shouted with a loudspeaker.
Immediately, a team of puppet maintenance engineers rushed towards the No. 3 giant puppet that fell to the ground.
At this time, in the operation compartment of the giant puppet, the driver climbed out, his head seemed to be broken, and a lot of blood was shed: "Damn, it's the third time, hurry up and contact the boss and change the puppet core for No. 3, this guy will fall me to death sooner or later!" ”
"How expensive is the puppet core, the boss is willing to change the puppet core, it is better to buy a new puppet." A puppet repairer quipped.
Outside the tin fence.
Duke glanced at the giant puppet that everyone had repaired with some envy.
Like Lingka, the puppet is also a transcendent product in the realm of spiritual arcane, and many of the puppets have been promoted to the people by the Erudite Tower.
The spirit card is composed of spell models and has all kinds of incredible powers.
The puppet is composed of a magic model to form a puppet core, and then driven by the spirit gold frame, to play the effect of a large construction machine.
Of course, the puppets on the construction site are all ordinary civilian puppets, and the arcane mage can also make arcane puppets, and they can do everything from heaven to earth.
"If only I had a giant golem, it's better than a bionic exoskeleton." Duke sighed.
However, he can't afford it for the time being, and a giant puppet of the smallest model is at least a few dozen golden dragons larger.
"That spider golem isn't bad either."
He looked at a spider-shaped puppet in the distance, this puppet was agile, able to climb high and low, and could also go into the water to burrow into the ground, focusing on a multi-functional role.
If you have a Spider Golem, most of the chores on the farm can be done by driving the Spider Golem.
"Forget it."
"I can't afford it again."
Duke withdrew his gaze and left the Third Vertical Street site.
On the way back, they encountered more than a group of mercenaries, who were walking through the streets in groups, carrying some prey such as spirit beasts.
The smell of blood all over his body provoked passers-by to dodge one after another.
Duke didn't want to provoke them, so he silently got out of the way, letting the other party go first, and branched off to another alley - the alley of the whole snake head town, there was no way he didn't know.
Just two streets crossed.
I saw someone in the alley going out over the wall, carrying a burden, and disappeared around the corner in a few clicks.
"Thief...... The law and order in this town is getting worse and worse. Duke shook his head, the Serpent's Head Town Security Brigade has stepped up patrols recently, but the effect is not good.
The town of Sheshou is called a town, and it actually has a population of more than 100,000, which is equivalent to a small county town.
Now that the development order has been issued, all those who want to make a fortune and want to fish have poured in, and the manpower of the security brigade is simply not enough.
"This time, the Cuihai Valley Exploration War was led by Shen Jiao City, and I don't know which arcane mage will be divided into the end."
Twenty or thirty years ago, the 3-ring arcanist Mubia, after his old age, launched the Black Snake Lair Exploration War, and was named the Black Snake Baron, the family fief Snake Head Town.
Now the Black Snake Baron Mubia has long since passed away, but the Black Snake family has taken root in Snake Head Town.
Although there is no more 3 Ring Arcane mages born, relying on the snake's head to suppress the downfall has also developed vigorously, and the bloodline heirs are very prosperous.
Almost every frontier war, especially a minor frontier war, is waged by an arcane mage who wants to create a family. This is also the driving force for the Seven Towers Federation to continue to expand its territory into the barren forest, where endless resources are waiting to be grabbed.
When Duke returned home, he heard a knock on the door.
After opening the door was Sally.
"Sister Sally?"
"Boss."
"Call me Duke, I'm not your boss anymore."
Duke invited Sally in and asked her what was going on, and Sally struggled for a moment before she spoke, "It's Levin." ”
"What's wrong with Levin?"
"He was expelled, and Rwanka didn't like him and hated him for being clumsy."
"Who is Rwanda?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that Rwanda is the nephew of the boss of Lucius, and the boss of Lucius did not personally manage the little Samshuka shop, but left it to his nephew." Sally shook her head, "Now that Levine is unemployed, he plans to go to the Spirit Mining Company to apply for a job in the mines, but that is too dangerous...... So ......"
Sally continued: "Didn't you buy the farm, Duke, and I thought you might need to hire someone, so I came over and asked, would you like Levine?" ”
"Levine wants to come to the farm?"
"Yes, he talks about you every day, and he was very good to Levine when he was in the store, and he remembers it all."
Levine was stupid, but hardworking, and Duke liked the big man so much that he had thought about taking him away.
Now that Levine has been expelled, Duke naturally will not refuse: "Where is Levine now, Sister Sally, you asked him to come to me." ”
"Okay, Levine is staying at Sister Abi's house for the time being, and I'll go find him...... Sister Abi said that if Levine went to the mine, we would never see Levine again in a few months. ”
