Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 94: Changing the Mechanical School (Updates added with monthly tickets)
At this time, the red moon hangs high, illuminating the entire land.

On the bell tower of Krims Cathedral, the highest point in the center of the city-state, Andrews and Alais sat face to face, both holding wine glasses in their hands, drinking barley beer.

"Ales, you went too far today."

Andrews put down his glass and complained.

"If it's really too much, I'm afraid those priests will rush into the secret investigation department in the morning?"

Ales wiped the beer that spilled from the corner of his mouth, "If it's too much, it's you. You obviously didn't describe it like that in the last meeting."

"What's the difference? It's either the dawn or the storm. You can't let them choose the red moon, can you?" Andrews didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, "Like that time..."

"Andrews, I advise you not to continue talking."

Ales' face turned cold, "The church is not the only way out in this world. Faith is power, but also a shackle. I believe you know this better than anyone else."

Andrews did not refute, but poured another glass of beer and said with a wry smile: "The important thing is to be alive, isn't it?"

"Alive? Tsk tsk, if I had known that you would become what you are today, I should have left you in the first place."

"Then don't you also want to die on the Kordo Sea?"

"..."

Ales breathed heavily in his stomach, and after a long while, he said: "Tell me, why did you come to me this time? If it's still like in the morning, don't open your mouth, so I won't waste the last time." strength on you."

Andrews turned his head and looked in the direction of the parliament. Under the light of the red moon, the kindness on his face disappeared.

"Don't mention it if it has already failed...This time it is my personal request. I hope you can protect that girl for me."

"Last time, you said the same thing."

"This time is different."

"Ales looked at him suspiciously, and asked: "Did something happen? "

"I don't know," Andrews shook his head lightly, "it's just a bad premonition."

"Hunch? This is not a good thing, your hunch has always been accurate..."

"That's why I'm begging you, Ales. I know you don't have much time, but actually... I don't have much time either."

"Ok?"

Andrews pulled up the sleeves of his white gold-trimmed robe, revealing his clean arms, and a line drawn with gold lines appeared.

"Dawn, you are already calling me."

Ales looked at the lines, his face darkened, and he asked with a little anger, "When did it start?"

"Just this afternoon..."

"Is it related to the celebration in the morning?"

"I'm afraid it is." Andrews pulled up his sleeves and sighed. "According to previous records, I still have 100 days from the time it appears."

"There should only be 99 days left."

"...Ales, with your character, it's not easy for you to survive till now."

Ales took a sip of his wine, a look of sadness flashed under his monocle, "Thank you for the compliment."

"So you agreed?"

"Well, as long as it's in the secret investigation department, I'll keep her safe. You know, I can't go too far away."

A kind smile appeared on Andrews's face again, "That's good, I hope my premonition will fail this time..."

"I said this a long time ago, but when did it come true?"

"Just this time!"

"Ha ha……"

……

……

It's not clean, it's not clean...

Wayne looked at Claire blankly, never expecting that one day he would be caught adjusting the positioning of the clock's disc and the pointing of the hands.

Especially the pointer, the color is simply too pink.

Claire let go of his hand, blushing on her face, "How is it, is it fixed?"

"No, it's just two hanging clocks after all. It will take a while..."

"Then, you can slow down. Remember to adjust the time. It's ten o'clock in the evening. Just turn it ten times."

"Ten laps? Clockwise, then counterclockwise is fourteen laps, I..."

[You have been eroded by the power of desire. Unfortunately, you have broken through your defenses again.Comment: Hmm... this kind of thing can't be done with just one slap.Special reward: -1 toughness rating. 】

I am special!
Wei En woke up suddenly, sat up and looked around, and said with a wry smile, "It turned out to be a dream..."

It's all Claire's fault, let's go, why did you tease me before leaving?It hurt him to have that dream again...

fuck,
Wei En suddenly remembered that this is not his residence, he didn't bring a change of clothes at all...

"Well, you are blessed today, let's run away."

In desperation, Wei En could only simply tidy up, staring at the red moon outside the window in a daze.

Counting it, he has been in this world for more than ten days, and he doesn't know what happened to the other world.

They should be very sad, right?

"Since I can't go back, let me take a good look at this wonderful world."

After a long time, Wei En took a long breath and sealed these memories deep in the source.

Memories are precious, but he has not yet reached the point where he cannot extricate himself from being immersed in the past world, not to mention that the current environment requires him to be more focused and cautious...

Immediately afterwards, Wei En opened the box he carried with him and took out a pen and paper. Based on the knowledge of runes in his mind, he drew the rune array of the mechanical puppet one stroke at a time.

In the past two days, he has completely drawn dozens of drawings of mechanical puppets.

But every drawing can bring him a different experience, especially when dismantling various parts, some even the size of a fingernail are engraved with more than a dozen lines.

This is undoubtedly the crystallization of the wisdom of our predecessors.Therefore, when Wei En drew the blueprints, he became more careful and carefully understood the purpose of the design of the blueprints. If there was anything he didn't understand, he read Wizard Jerry's handbook.

The progress is not slow.

After researching for a period of time, he clearly knew that the mechanical puppet was not a mecha on the technological side, but a combat weapon that could be manipulated through the rune circle.

Just like the core rune circle of [Iron Hearted Rager], in addition to the firm heart and fury burst runes, there are also connecting runes that are easy to manipulate.

And this connection rune is the basis of mechanical puppets, or the basis of all mechanical puppets.

Its function can not only be connected with the mechanical wizard, but also easily convert the wizard's thinking instructions into mechanical puppet actions, even as subtle as the knuckle movement of a finger.

Even if it is called the core of the mechanical puppet core, it is not an exaggeration.

Therefore, after figuring this out, Wei En focused his research on dismantling and reassembling the core rune circle.

He knew very well that only by studying each rune to the extreme could he completely assemble the entire rune array.

This step may be difficult for others, but for Wei En, it is just the easiest.

[You successfully drew the Solid Heart rune... Special rewards: Survival points +3, spiritual level +1. 】

【You have successfully drawn the transmigration rune...】

[...Cornerstone Rune...]

Cornerstone rune?

Is this the name of the connection rune?
It's quite vivid - the cornerstone of the construction of mechanical puppets.

After Wei En disassembled all the runes involved in [Ironheart Furious], he drew a total of four runes, namely the Solid Heart, Furious Burst, Cornerstone Rune, and the Spiritual Transformation Rune for replenishing energy. .

Then he raised the levels of these four runes to full level through the panel.

[Congratulations, your rune knowledge: the cornerstone rune has reached the full level.Effect: The success rate of drawing this rune is 100%. 】

【…】

[Congratulations on obtaining a full-level rune knowledge, your progress in rune proficiency: 4/100.Special reward: Spirit level +1. 】

With the full level of these runes, more knowledge came to mind, together with the previous accumulation of runes, for Wei En to compare and study.

Among them, there are no flaws in the cornerstone runes and spiritual transformation runes, but there are several areas in the Solid Heart and Furious Burst that can be optimized and improved.

After improvements, the effects of these two runes can be increased by 15% and 33% respectively.

Wei En drew out the new rune, and believed that it would be easier to disassemble it into the parts of the mechanical puppet later.

"Is the only cornerstone rune a six-pointed star?"

When, when...

Before he could start to fuse the runes, the red moon outside the window receded quietly as the bell rang, giving way to the rising sun.

The room is also brighter.

Wei En just glanced at it, and then continued to study the fusion of the cornerstone rune and the original rune of death.

[You have successfully combined the original rune of Death God Alanael with the cornerstone rune, and successfully drawn it.Evaluation: Mechanical puppet?Mechanical life?Special rewards: Survival Point +5, Spirit Level +1, Resilience Level +1. 】

mechanical life...

No way?
Wei En looked at the comments on the panel and his breathing became rapid. Could it be that the fused cornerstone runes can give life to mechanical puppets?
So, is it still a puppet?

He couldn't help but look at the driver next to him. Do you want to try it?
The cornerstone rune is only a part of the rune circle applied to the mechanical puppet. It does not belong to the spell rune of the mechanical school. If it is branded, it cannot be used...

"Driver, I'm not sure about the effect of this rune. I want to test it on you. Is it possible?"

Wei En thought for a long time, but did not make up his mind, and finally chose to let the driver make his own decision.

You must know that after being imprinted with the Soul Devouring Rune and Mechanical Box Rune, the driver's intelligence has also improved a lot, and simple thinking is still possible.

The driver didn't answer immediately, and looked at the ghost next to him, especially the big and three small shining rune marks on his forehead...

"Baba, give me one."

Wei En showed a smile on his face, nodded and said, "Then let's have a shot."

If there is no effect in the end, he will admit it. At worst, he will open another puppet system after he has the original descendant.

After making a decision, he stopped hesitating and began to brand the driver on the back of his head.

[You successfully branded the cornerstone rune (Death), learned the cornerstone (Death), level 1.Evaluation: If the god of death wakes up, I'm afraid he will come out and kill you immediately... Special reward: survival point +5, spirit level +2. 】

[Note 1: Cornerstone (Reaper) Level 1, effect: It can transform mechanical puppets into mechanical beings, and the transformed mechanical beings will treat you as the master. 】

[Note 2: Mechanical life has the ability to learn and improve itself, and is especially good at manipulating mechanical puppets. 】

[Note 3: Each upgrade can only transform one mechanical puppet. 】

Wayne stared at the information on the panel, "I seem to have come up with something amazing..."

Unexpectedly, it is really a mechanical life, and it still has the ability of self-learning, self-improvement, and a mechanical life that is good at puppet manipulation...

Although it is not clear how many levels can be added, even if there is only one mechanical life, it is enough to change the puppet mechanical wizard system of the entire mechanical school.

That's right, changing the whole system,
You must know that for a genius wizard like Jerry, there is no record of such a perverted thing in the entire handbook...

The driver glanced at his forehead, his eyes became cross-eyed, and he grinned, "Baba, have I become stronger too?"

Wei En hugged him and took a bite, "It's not just as simple as being strong, it's simply too powerful."

The effect of the cornerstone (death) spell is like this, if combined with the rune circle of the mechanical puppet, will it also turn the puppet into life?

If that's the case - it's really invincible.

After I get back, I will start making mechanical puppets!
A smile appeared on Wei En's face, he had gained a lot today.

Thank you God of Death, thank you for the source, and even more thanks to the person who transformed the God of Death into the source rune, it is really too strong.

As for the warning on the panel...

If the God of Death wants to kill him, he has to wait until he wakes up...
