Chapter 31: Electra's Notes

Electra is a legend among alchemists.

People don't know that the first person to invent alchemy was Georgie Lamborn, or that the iron-blooded warrior Edie Lamberne, who once swept across the continent with a rose army. Moltzt, in fact, has another name named Edie Lance Strick, you don't know that there are only three continents in the Wind Continent, East, South, and North, and there is no West Continent, you don't know that Strick VI is actually not a descendant of the founding emperor of the Reims Empire, Stricker II has no blood relationship with Strick I, but he will not be unaware of the existence of Electra and the far-reaching influence he brings.

No one can say exactly how this man came to be.

He appeared in front of the eyes of the world so suddenly, with his army, came out of nowhere, and then defeated one country after another, knocked down countless heroes, and made all legends fall in front of him.

Everywhere he passed, everyone looked up to him, and almost every alchemy he invented became the object of exploration for later generations.

To this day, people still covet the various alchemical inventions that Electra once made, and repeatedly try to find the relics that Electra once left behind, hoping to get the secrets about him.

No one can say exactly how many alchemical inventions Electra possessed, and in the later years of Electra, although he was immersed in alchemical experiments, he never made any of the results known to the world until the final mystery disappeared.

Of all the alchemical inventions of Electra, the most famous is probably the Troll Idol.

This legion of puppets with the strength of the Sky Samurai defeated all the countries and armies at that time, and finally forced some countries to unite and use all the archmages to fight back wildly, so as to stop the attack of the troll legion.

However, this is just one of Electra's inventions. In fact, the reason why the Troll Legion was able to stop that battle was entirely because Electra only sent the Troll Legion and did not send any auxiliary troops. He didn't seem to have any interest in pestering anyone else, just giving a warning to those who were trying to get the best out of him.

It is said that Electra has always belonged to no country, and he has never been interested in war, only in the struggle for resources. He needed a lot of resources to experiment, which is why he invented the Troll God to compete for resources, minerals, and primeval jungles for him. After that, Electra gave up on studying the Puppet Legion altogether, and his main focus was on something else.

What exactly he wanted to do, no one knows.

But there may be a hint of a hint in another of his great inventions.

That was the magic pattern experiment that made Gong Hao feel heartbroken.

That's right, the Devil's Pattern Engraving was also an invention of Electra, and it was called by later generations as no less great than the Troll God. Because the only purpose of this alchemy is to give ordinary people the ability to resonate with the elements of magic.

If alchemy uses magic as a means of walking in a roundabout way, then the magic pattern carving is to build a direct bridge between ordinary people and magicians.

This is exactly what Hines said, the meaning of the alchemist's existence is not to be a good craftsman, but to be closer to magic.

Making magic accessible to ordinary people sounds incredible, but the truth is that Electra did.

In the fifth year after the appearance of the Troll God, Electra exchanged a thousand gold vetts for a thousand lowly war slaves.

A year later, the slaves were sent to war.

The bodies and faces of these slaves were carved with mysterious runes, as if they were tattoos. They were excellent soldiers who had never had a connection with magic, but that time, the magical abilities possessed by each slave amazed the world.

A thousand slaves of the strength of a black-robed mage brought a new glorious reputation to Elekt, and the magic pattern carving became the alchemy sought after by the world, and many alchemists tirelessly studied this alchemy with a thirst for magic.

Hines is one of them.

If Stricker VI most desired a troll god, there was no more meaningful invention for Hines than the magic pattern.

He has spent almost all his life working hard for this.

Being able to use magic like a true magician is the ultimate desire of almost every alchemist.

And now, Andrew handed him a copy of part of Electra's notesβ€”the one about flesh golems and undead golems.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"So, the flesh golem and the undead golem are actually the inventions of Electra?" asked Andrew Gong Hao.

It is said that there are many alchemy notes of Electra, which he recorded when he was engaged in alchemy experiments, just like Gong Hao's secretarial work. Gong Hao didn't expect the Lance Empire to get a copy, but he didn't ask questions about how the note came from and how much it contained. It's obviously a taboo, and he just needs to know what he needs to know now.

"That's right, it is said that this is the work of Electra when he was studying alchemy in his early days. I have to say that the genius of Electra is far beyond our imagination and cognition. His works from his student days alone have been studied by my tutor and us for twenty years, and until now, they have not been fully reproduced. ”

"Can't fully reproduce?"

"That's right. The flesh golem is the existence equivalent of a fourth-level samurai. Compared to ordinary puppet warriors, flesh golems are not powerful because of their physique, but because of their ability to cast spell attacks. Although they can only cast three spells, they are quite terrifying when combined with their own body and melee abilities equivalent to puppet warriors. The undead puppet is made from the bones of corpses, which is said to be a type of necromancer. But it's not the same as necromancy. The undead summoned by necromancy must rely on mana for maintenance. Once the mana is exhausted, then the undead will also disappear, and the undead golem has no regrets in this regard. They don't have the ability to cast spells like flesh golems, nor do they have the rigid and unbreakable body of a puppet warrior, but they are inexpensive to craft and maintain the instincts of the original creatures. ”

"Protocreature instincts?"

"Yes, in the earliest days, the undead golems were all refined from some magical beasts. You also know that there are many Warcraft that are quite powerful. Undead puppets that are refined from their bones are even much stronger than an ordinary samurai once they exert their natural powers. However, it is a pity that with the gradual demise of those powerful demonic beasts, the undead puppets have lost their good carriers, and they are not like the necromancy that can be summoned continuously, so they have lost the meaning of existence. ”

So you use human corpses to refine?" Gong Hao thought viciously.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Andrew said directly: "So later, someone used the corpse of the same kind to refine the undead puppet." ”

Gong Hao's heart jumped, he didn't know why Andrew suddenly told the truth, but he immediately realized that this was probably testing his resistance to experimenting with people. So he immediately said quietly, "My lord, is there any benefit to refining with human bones?"

His expression looked like he only cared about the outcome and not the process, which pleased Andrew.

"Of course there are benefits. Andrew laughs: "The advantage is that the source material is inexhaustible and the cost is low. And the biggest difference between the undead puppets made of human bones and the undead puppets made of monster bones is that we can change the armor of the undead puppets made of human bones and unify the system, so that the combat effectiveness of the undead puppets can be greatly improved. Unfortunately, such violations of the deceased have always been condemned by States. Therefore, one hundred and fifty years ago, the three continents made a joint agreement, and all countries that refined human bones into undead puppets would be condemned and jointly punished by all countries. ”

Gong Hao pursed his mouth and said: "Cut, as long as you can win the war, I don't know who will punish whom." Since the undead puppet is easy to use, use it. As long as the war is won, don't let an enemy go, no one will know about the existence of the undead puppet. ”

"That's it. Andrew laughed. He admired Gong Hao's attitude of disregarding human life for the sake of alchemy. So he even added: "Actually, it's not difficult to hide from the eyes of other countries, as long as the undead puppets are mixed with ordinary puppet warriors, and some special drugs are used on them, once they are broken, they will immediately turn into powder, and no one can confirm that they are undead puppets." Moreover, this kind of ban is only prohibited from being carried out in a big way, and if it is only used on a small scale, it will not be too much of a problem. In fact, many countries are secretly using the bones of dead prisoners to refine undead puppets, but everyone doesn't tell each other. Anyway, these undead puppets don't play a decisive role in the war. ”

I see. Gong Hao understood.

"So we haven't been able to fully make the Electra flesh and blood golems and undead golems right now? I think what we sent to the Liberty seems to be a little different from what it says in this note. Gong Hao asked.

Andrew replied, "Yes, it's a little different." Both the Flesh and Undead Golems of Electra are crafted from Warcraft. The undead puppets are just that, we are only limited by the problem of the dwindling number of monsters. However, flesh golems need to use life souls for traction, otherwise they cannot use spells. However, the soul of the monster is either too strong or too weak to be easily controlled, so it is very difficult. At the moment, we can only use some of the more common souls such as the Blood Ape for crafting. But there is only one spell that such a puppet can use, and the effect is poor, in fact, it is far from the strength of a real flesh puppet, it is said to have the strength of a fourth-level warrior, but in fact, it is only slightly stronger than a puppet warrior. ”

Gong Hao knew that the blood ape in Andrew's mouth was actually his own young servants.

They use their servants as flower pots, plant demon spirits, deprive souls, experiment with magic patterns, and refine undead puppets, which can be said to be the best use of human beings, and they do not let go of the value that can be used in the slightest.

These alchemists have lost their conscience to the point of outrageousness, but now they can only laugh and say:

"Please rest assured, I will definitely study Electra's notes carefully, and strive to recreate the real flesh puppet as soon as possible, and I will not need to use it again...... The soul of the Blood Ape. ”

"Very well, go for it, Glare, I'm sure you can bring us good luck. You've given me a lot of surprises, and now, that's the real test. ”

"I swear I will live up to the expectations of Lord Andrew. ”

When he understood what the notes in his hand meant, Gong Hao realized one thing for the first time: if he could really develop these puppets as soon as possible, he might be able to free those servants sent every month from hell on earth.

He doesn't think he's an angel who can save the world, but he doesn't back down when he can save the lives of others.

At that moment, he thought of the images of Heather, Fink, Thack, Biller and other teenagers.

All of them, those who had been in the same boat with him, those who had come to Purgatory Island before him, and the teenagers who came to Purgatory Island after him, had died or were dying.

And now, he is the only one who can save them.

There has never been a moment more eager to crack the invention of Electra.
