Chapter 237: Landing on the Island!
Slots, Mechanical Heart Rune Device......
It can be said that these two things in front of any rune expert or legendary wizard will not have any association with strengthening and improving the strength of mechanical undead.
But in Wayne's opinion, this very small change is enough to affect the entire world of the undead, and even the mechanical puppet system and mechanical transformation enhancement system of the mechanical school will be subverted.
And that'sβ
Wayne took out a palm-sized metal plate prepared in advance, pointed to the dense rune patterns on it, and said, "This is my first rune array board, which is engraved with the rune circle that the Fourth Age Mechanics School likes to use very muchβthe Iron Heart Fury Circle. β
The Iron Heart Fury was the first mechanical golem blueprint he learned, and the Iron Heart Fury Circle imprinted within it had only two rune effects, the Sturdy Heart and the Fury Burst.
And the metal plate he was holding in his hand was engraved with the Iron Heart Fury Circle.
"Circle board?" Teresa looked at Wayne in the center of the illusory screen and asked suspiciously, "Director, there is a room in this castle dedicated to carving rune circles, and you seem to have just shrunk the circle?" β
In her cognition, the size of the rune circle does not affect its effect, but the increase in nodes and lines does amplify the power of the circle, and there is no difference in the rest.
Without explanation, Wayne casually inserted the rune formation board into the groove on the zombie's chest through the bone prison.
οΌοΌοΌ
Teresa and the others watched his movements, looking at each other for some reason.
"What is this?"
"Just put it in?"
And Krista's eyes widened, and she suddenly thought of a possibility, "Director, you, you...... No, no, it won't, right? β
At this moment, I saw that the mechanical heart rune device on the zombie's chest suddenly shot out two dazzling rays of light, one was reversed to the origin core of its head, and the other went down into the groove, no, to be precise, it landed on the board engraved with the iron heart rage circle.
Syllable!
Wayne snapped his fingers and turned to the zombie and gestured, "Strong Heart." β
"Smack!"
Seeing the smile on his face, the zombie understood that the core power of the origin flowed into the groove in the mechanical heart rune device.
When the light flickered, a faint halo enveloped its body.
Escobar's eyes widened: "Lie X......"
Adolf waved his tentacles, indicating that he didn't understand, "Lie X? β
"You, you ......" Teresa opened her mouth wide, pointed at the zombie on the screen, and asked in surprise, "Director, did you engrave a new circle for it?" β
"It's not the engraving, it's the board, it's the board of the rune circle that the director just put in!" Oshana slammed closer, her eyes clinging to the black liaison, her expression faintly excited.
"This ......," Auxer muttered to himself, "I've only seen rune masters, who engrave rune circles in fixed positions, such as steam cars, steam ships, large buildings, etc., but none of them have as much impact on me as the one that the director took out......
"That is to say......"
Without waiting for them to continue to say anything, Wayne took over and nodded: "That is to say, the mechanical body part of the mechanical undead, in addition to the original engraved magic circles and runes, can also be equipped with new rune circles through this area to achieve the purpose of enhancement. β
"And this is the third arrangement I want to talk about - the study of the rune formation board card!"
Previously, after realizing that he could not complete the set project goal, he was thinking about how to improve the strength of the mechanical undead to another level.
After thinking about it for a long time, it wasn't until yesterday evening, when Menor contacted him through the black deacon identity card, that he had the idea that he could add an additional rune circle device to the mechanical body.
In order to increase the combat effectiveness of the mechanical undead, the additional rune circle can be made into a flexible way that can be detached and installed.
For example, when encountering an elemental wizard, you can add a forbidden magic array similar to the one used by Huberto, and when you encounter an extraordinary person with epidemic poison characteristics, you can choose a magic circle that is immune to toxins or a purification circle.
In this way, according to different environments or different enemies, different rune array boards can be selected to deal with, so as to make the role of mechanical undead more extensive.
"The detailed design drawings of the mechanical heart rune device, I will send it to you later along with the planning plan, and in the next time, you will rest while studying the drawing structure to see if there is any way to improve it, or find other more suitable rune arrays."
Wayne saw the surprise and shock on their faces, and he also gained confidence in his sudden inspiration.
Originally, she wanted to study the topic of mechanical undead, just to solve the problems of Sava's body and further improve her strength.
Later, after obtaining the status of "Death Master" through the undead transformation spell, he had a bigger plan for the mechanical undead.
Until now, more than half of the research progress of the subject has passed, and the future of the mechanical undead is clearer, and there is the blessing of the rune formation board......
I believe that when the future project is completed, the power of the legendary mechanical undead will definitely surprise everyone.
Especially for those who are good at undead transformation, and wizards of the mechanical school, I hope they can withstand the impact of the new mechanical undead father!
After a long silence, Teresa stepped forward, dragged Oshana behind her, looked at Wayne in the center of the illusory screen, bowed and said, "Thanks to the director's trust, this improvement is enough for us to go down in the history of the Ghost School." β
"Or," Escobar's expression moved, "Lord Elder is qualified to leave a message in the Codex of Inheritance to be remembered by all wizards. β
"The Wizard's Codex?"
Several other wizards were excited when they thought of that possibility, and if that was the case, then they, the researchers of the Wayne Institute, would also be mentioned together.
"Okay, let's not talk about other things for the time being, you guys have a good rest first." Seeing that their expressions were getting more and more excited, Wayne had to interrupt their blind thoughts again.
"Understood, Director!"
"Thank you, Elder Chief!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Any other questions?"
Compared to what they thought of being remembered by wizards, leaving messages in the wizard's codex, etc., Wayne had bigger and deeper plans.
These days, in addition to improving his strength and doing research experiments related to his subjects, he spends the rest of his time making a sand table with a simple map of the four continents and the Kordo Sea.
On it, he not only marked the organization and division of forces on each continent, but also counted the people in the Kordo Sea who could attack the Twilight Sect.
According to his speculation, with the vastness of the Kordo Sea, even if some of the wizards of the four major wizarding schools of Spirit, Spirit, Shadow and Blood Spirit, together with the Eternal Life Society and the Black Pearl, could only occupy at most one-fifth of the sea area in a short period of time.
Oh, and counting the manatees that Menor just notified, they will also be attacking the people of the Twilight Sect in the waters of Cordor.
In this way, excluding those forbidden seas and some sea areas that few people pass through, the sea area where the Dusk Sect can recover the "Dream of Gamendia" is at least one-third.
Therefore, after consulting with Menor, Wayne decided to add another fire and let the wizards of the Mechanics join in the encirclement and suppression of the Twilight Sect.
And the board engraved with the rune formation pattern is a gift he prepared for the mechanical school - compared to the mechanical undead, the rune formation board card improves the mechanical school even more!
Not only the wizards who choose to be strengthened by mechanical transformation, but also the large number of mechanical golems are what the mechanical school is more eager for.
If they don't agree, then he will have to choose to expose the existence of Zero, and choose to use the "Cornerstone (Death)" rune in exchange.
It's just that Wayne doesn't want to provide the method of making mechanical life until it is absolutely necessary, especially not to let the wizards of the mechanical school know.
Because of that, it will make the strength of the mechanical school get a very terrifying increase!
It's all about giving the Cult of Twilight a great gift - hopefully the "Lord of True Killing" McAllister will like it!
"Yes!" Teresa looked at the others, "Director, can I submit that phase study to Dean Josue today?" β
Wayne was stunned, "Aren't you going to take a break?" Report or something, don't be in such a hurry, right? β
"That's right," Teresa said, lifting her gold-rimmed glasses, "you've been focusing on your research these days, and there's one thing you haven't reported to you. β
"What's the matter?"
"Do you remember what I mentioned to you earlier, when the Shadow School came to the academic exchange and the wizard competition? Yesterday they had already arrived at the Ice Castle Research Center. β
Wayne nodded, "Remember, and then?" β
"This morning, during the academic exchange, they came up with a research report, saying that if we can come up with a comparable research report, we will win."
Teresa's face was a little angry, "At noon, Dean Josue said that they came up with a research on the fusion of wizards' origin characteristics, and the technology is very mature, and we don't have a research report on it for the time being......"
"Huh? Convergence of Origin Features? Wayne's heart moved, "What is it like?" β
He suddenly thought of the thirteen faces he had seen in the Origin World before, that should belong to a situation of Origin Characteristics Fusion, right?
If he could know how that research report came to fruition, wouldn't he be able to reverse the cause of the Origin World's giant trees and strange aberrations?
In this way, it is better than waiting passively!
"The other party did not announce the specific content of the report, but only said that we would have three days, and after three days, the mentor of Bolas and the mentor of the other school would compare the value of the two research reports."
"...... in three days"
Wayne thought for a few seconds and made a decision, "I agreed, you will study the study in stages, huh...... In addition, the rune formation board card and the research on the mechanical heart rune device were submitted together. β
If it is true that the research on the fusion of origin characteristics is successful, then the value of a single mechanical undead transformation scheme is not enough, and only further improvement schemes can be added.
"If you agree, then I'll talk to the dean."
"Hmm."
Wayne nodded, and seeing that there was nothing missing, he directly closed the contact passage, preparing to pack up and meet Ronan outside.
It's been nearly a month since he last landed on Dacman Island, and he hasn't set foot on land for a while, so he just took the opportunity to repair the ship and go out for a walk.
And looking at the unreal screen turned off, Teresa and the others cheered completely.
"We ...... So lucky! β
"I feel more and more that it is a very stupid act for Senior Benoy to refute the director before and be dismissed from the institute."
"Hahaha, let's not mention him, I can't help but want to see that......"
Theresa also had a smile on her face, and even though she was physically and mentally exhausted by this time, she was still happy about the progress of the research project.
"Okay, I'll arrange the celebration after a few days of rest. Next, I prepared according to the instructions of the director. Christa, Osana, the stage study will be delivered to Dean Josue tonight. β
Oshana nodded, "Senior sister, I'll sort out the previous experiment records." β
"Then I'll be in charge of compiling the experimental records of Mechanical Undead One." Christa clenched her fists.
"Okay, the rest of the summary and an overview I'm responsible for, and about the mechanical heart rune device, huh...... Senior Escobar, I'll leave this part to you. β
"No problem."
After arranging the research report, Teresa breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the remaining two, and muttered: "Adolf and Auxerre, your task is not easy, after resting, start preparing the materials of the rune array, is it okay?" β
"Of course," Adolf shook his twisted tentacles, and several scarlet eyes widened, "I don't need to rest. β
"Me too." Auxerre glanced at him and agreed.
"Let's try to rest."
Theresa reminded her, not paying much attention.
These two wizards, one is an aberration wizard who fuses the characteristics of pollution, and the other is a plague wizard who has been transformed by plague poison all year round, and their physical strength is much higher than that of wizards in other systems.
Even the wizards of the arcane system can't compare to them in terms of combat durability without choosing blood spirit enhancement and mechanical transformation.
"Okay, everyone, so far that the project has been studied, I believe that none of us will doubt Director Wayne's ability anymore, let alone regret joining Research Institute 66. Therefore......"
At this point, Teresa paused, and after glancing around, "I hope you can do more for this institute like me." At the same time, during the break, do not do anything to discredit the director's face. β
"Teresa, don't worry!"
"Rest assured, I know ......"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Inside the theater space.
After Wayne sent the plan and some experimental records back to the institute in a blue and white box, he simply packed it up and left the studio.
"Wayne, lunch is ready." Sava waited at the door of the studio, as always, and said respectfully like a maid.
"Hmm."
Wayne nodded and sat down at the dining table, looking at the busy Pavra and the white-haired girl who was studying honestly, "In the next few days, I will stay outside for a few days, do you want to come with me?" β
"Tina, okay." The white-haired girl was the first to raise her hand in response, and the parchment in her hand that she had flipped through several times flew out directly.
"I," Miss Zombie sat down, her intact white pupils moved to Wayne, and she hesitated and said, "I'll stay." β
Even though it's been so long, she still cares about the mechanically modified parts of her body, which are all familiar people in the theater space, but outside......
"I, I, I ......"
When Pavra heard this, she didn't even care about the ingredients she was preparing, and trotted over with a dinner knife, looking at Wayne with a wistful expression.
She had been "imprisoned" in this theater for almost a month, and even with her piety, she was about to start complaining about the Great Dawn's forgetfulness of her.
"Wizard Wayne, can you take me?"
"I'm sorry," Wayne shook his head as he looked into her bright eyes, "I didn't ask you." β
"I haven't been out in a long time, and it's ...... here"
Pavra clenched her fists, and if it weren't for the fear that she would indirectly kill hundreds of Dawn cultists with a single punch, she really wanted to give the evil wizard a few punches.
But she was really suffocating.
It was okay to have Claire around before, and she could still talk from time to time, and she could also use the time to go to the training area to deliver food, and she could stay there for a while, trying to guide the poor guards on the path of faith in the dawn.
But when she's gone, she's left to face Tina and Sarava......
These two people, one is a cold and dangerous girl, and the other is an undead creature who doesn't even need to eat, and she has nothing to talk about.
"Impossible."
Wayne calmly ate the delicious fish fillets on his plate, as if he hadn't heard her.
Unless he is crazy, he will choose to take the Church of Dawn's Saint-in-Waiting out for a stroll.
Not to mention whether this will reveal his location, Pavla's identity alone is destined to cause a riot among the believers of the Church of Dawn on the island.
Pavra looked at Tina and Sava next to her, frustrated, both of whom were very close to the evil wizard and could not speak for her either.
"So, can I make a small request?"
"As long as it's not taking you out, or something that's going to get the attention of the Church of Dawn, that's fine."
Pafra sat down at the table, leaned closer, folded her hands and said, "Please, can you bring me in some books from outside?" β
"Reading?" Wayne was stunned for a moment and looked at her in surprise, "What do you mean by reading?" It can't be the doctrines of the Church of the Dawn, right? β
"No, no, no, it's like ......"
Pavra's face had a tangled expression, which could not be said to be the kind of good Delia and the evil wizard, and said in anticipation: "The knight and the princess, you know, right? β
Knights and princesses, reads?
"You can't be the kind of knight who seduces a noble lady, right?"
A hint of strangeness flashed in the depths of Wayne's eyes, as if he had first met this blonde girl who had gained some of the power of good authority.
She actually likes to watch the kind of "princess captured by the evil dragon, and the knight goes through a thousand difficulties and dangers to rescue"?
"Big, probably similar to ......" Pavra felt so weak that she almost dropped her head on the hanging bell, "I, I can't do anything here......"
"Okay, I promised."
Although Wayne did not understand the thoughts of the Saint-Elect of Good Authority, it did not prevent him from agreeing to the other party's request.
Don't buy more, like an evil wizard imprisoning the Holy Maiden, and then ...... Something like that?
Tut-tut, I hope she will enjoy this type of saga!
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Thank you so much!" Pafra happily got up and returned to the kitchen utensils, happily preparing lunch for the guards.
As long as there are those to watch, it doesn't matter how long you stick here.
Hmph, once Mistress Celestia rescues her and leaves, she'll be free from the evil wizard's grasp.
Wayne couldn't help but shake his head when he saw her like this, hoping that this was not the after-effects of being imprisoned for too long.
Otherwise, when the Holy Maiden of Judgment saw her like this, she would have sworn to hunt him down to the end.
It didn't take long for Wayne to finish his lunch, and finally told Sava and Zero that he was optimistic about the theater, and left the theater space with Little White Fur and returned to the Leonard.
"Captain, it's coming to shore soon."
Ronan controlled the rudder as he asked Hervin to lower the sails and anchor the ship, and docked securely on the edge of the harbor on Alexei Island.
"Hmm."
Wayne took Tina's hand and went to the bow of the ship, surveying the city-state not far away.
Under the coverage of spiritual perception, he could perceive that there was a rune circle guarding the outside of the tall city wall, and he couldn't perceive the situation inside from the outside.
But he had a general idea of the basic situation of the island.
Two karst city-states are the size, two-thirds of the area is in the center of the island, and the rest of the area is a port and a seaside shop, and there are no bloody chapels like the one seen on Dacman Island before.
Or maybe there's some secret in that city-state...... He needs to be further explored.
"Captain, dock the Leonard here for the time being, and when we communicate with the repair shop, they will arrange for someone to transport the ship into the dock." Once the ship had come to a stop, Ronan walked over and said.
"Hmm." Wayne nodded, "Do you know anything about this place?" β
"I've been here a few times before, so I know a little bit about what's going on inside,"
Ronan motioned for the others to quickly pack up the cabin and deck, and introduced, "Alexei Island is a trading island protected by the Black Pearl, and most of the people who come and go are merchant ships of various transcendent families, or pirate ships. β
"There are several captains of the Black Pearl on the island, and the rules in that Alexei city-state will be adjusted as their personnel change."
"Oh?" Wayne raised an eyebrow, "You mean, when the captains of those who serve as city-state consuls change, the rules within the city-state will change?" β
"yes," Ronan nodded, "to paraphrase the city-states on the mainland, that's what it means." β
"That's interesting...... Tell me, what's the difference? β
After the pirates packed up their belongings, Wayne jumped off the Leonard with Tina in his arms, and Ronan beckoned the men behind to follow.
"'One-eyed' Adolad Walls, a gunner of the Black Pearl, has a rough personality, and when he is on duty, he will randomly select people from different pirate groups to enter the gladiatorial arena and engage in life and death gladiatorial battles."
As he walked out of the harbor, Ronan continued, "But he's drunk most of the time, and there aren't many opportunities like that. β
"'Pretty Hand' Flanda Carneiro, who was originally the ship's doctor of the Black Pearl, was later punished here by the first mate Jack for making a mistake, and if it was her turn to be the consul of the city-state, it would be more troublesome."
"Oh?"
Wayne showed a little interest on his face, the one-eyed one was already very interesting, what would happen to this beautiful hand?
"It's rumored that she likes handsome men very much, so ......" Ronan glanced at Wayne and chuckled in a low voice, "Just like the captain, if she finds out, she will invite you to dinner." β
"And then?"
"Then those who had dinner with her volunteered to stay on the island and become companions in the royal palace she had built."
Wayne: "......"
Partner, isn't this a lover?
"Anything else?"
"Finally, there's 'The Slayer' Hornatan Kirkland, who, compared to the previous two, is very fond of those who cause trouble on the island, and will torture them to death if caught."
"It sounds like they're all well-behaved 'duty people'." Wayne commented.
"......" Ronan didn't know how he could see that these people were following the rules, but he still reminded: "In addition to these precautions, this island also prohibits private fights, church missions, and all things that harm other people. β
"Gone?"
"It's gone!"
"I see, let's go." Wayne looked at the pirates following behind him and motioned, "Let them go and play, don't follow all the time, just notify me if something happens." β
"Understood."
Ronan waved Helwin and the others to play, while he continued to take Wayne to the city-state to find the repair shops that could repair large ships.
"Great, it's finally time to play, see you in three days!"
"It's only been three days? Five days, five days later, you will come back to me in this tavern. β
"Bastards, don't get into trouble!"
"Got it, boatswain!"
Boatswain laughed and cursed, followed him to a tavern, brandished the gold pound he had prepared, and carried a hot girl at the door into the room......
Wayne, who sensed all this, pouted secretly, these bastards are really unkind, they are so direct!
He's the captain who hasn't found a place to stay yet!
"There's a big pirate ship on the island again, hurry over, it's too late to be picked up by other taverns!"
"Hurry up ......"
"Huh? Did you see that one? β
"Who?"
"That one, next to the triangular eye, seems to be the aberrant wizard who robbed the 'Cowardly Purple Flower Family' before! It is said that he also turned down an invitation from the Black Pearl! β
"It's him, it seems that I heard the 'one-eyed' adults on the island talk about it before, but I didn't expect him to come here, and I'm having fun watching it now."
"Haha......"
Oh?
Psychic perception brought back the chatter of passing sailors or pirates around him, and Wayne's face moved slightly.
It seems that the next days on the island will be interesting?
