Chapter 52: Clustered Flying Pets, Steel Body

At night, the windows on the second floor of the lighthouse were open, and little seagulls flew back from the night, flew in through the windows, circled in the room for a while, and then chose to land on the head of Titan.

The robot stood beside the desk, holding a pine tea tray. This was the result of its recent independent learning. It seemed to be very interested in housework. It had mastered the skills of boiling water in the kitchen and would even give cold white wine to Lin Bo.

The little seagull jumped over Titan. The robot conducted a threat assessment and confirmed that there was no risk, so it did not take any defensive action.

"Good human, I'm back!" Proud quack.

Lin Bo was bent over his desk, drawing mechanical designs. His pen strokes made a rustling sound on the sulfuric acid paper. He casually greeted, "(Magic words) Welcome home."

He is designing a set of steel armor covering his entire body, developed based on the Guardian series of equipment. This is not to transform him into Iron Man, but to facilitate him to fly by controlling the armor when he only recites the Iron True Name.

The little seagull chattered and told the night watchman about its experiences that afternoon.

The seagulls' summer habitat isn't in the East Cliff Grottoes, but in a meadow several miles northeast of Shita Town. They only approach the coast in late autumn to prepare for winter. The little one was visiting relatives and friends in the northern habitat.

It spread the greatness of the White Marsh to its fellow seagulls in the habitat, and then led Mushroom's loyal companions to fly around the surrounding sky and had a heated exchange of views with other birds of prey living nearby.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bo paused his writing and asked about the battle situation.

The little guy said that after sacrificing the heroic lives of several old birds, the flock of gulls successfully drove a sea eagle out of its habitat, and then chased and scolded a peregrine falcon that often launched sneak attacks for a long time.

In the wilderness where humans have never set foot, the bird kingdom stages life-and-death battles every day. Now, under the call of the returning little seagull, the seagulls have taken the lead in launching a fierce war of conquest, which has fascinated the wizard of the lighthouse.

This little guy, who showed great leadership, was not satisfied with the current results, so he asked his military advisor for a countermeasure. "Good human, the sea eagle is very powerful, the peregrine falcon is very powerful, what should the seagull do?"

Lin Bo put down his pen and gave some advice to the little king at home. He suggested gathering the gulls in the habitat and taking them to the East Cliff Grottoes to reach a meal ticket agreement with the mushrooms. He could also transplant mycelium to the gulls.

The little seagulls that live in symbiosis with the all-purpose fungus show higher intelligence than their peers. After being injured, the mycelium in their bodies will perform limited treatment and simply repair the wound.

For other creatures in nature, this is already a remarkable advantage. A group of super gulls is enough to dominate the Warring States Period of birds.

The little king nodded repeatedly and praised humans for being the best friends of seagulls.

"(Magic words) I will teach you to fight together and defeat stronger enemies."

Lin Bo spent 5 disaster coins yesterday to buy a book called "Beast King Ranger's Product - Helper from the Sky", which is a special material for training flying combat pets.

Controlling a flock of birds can help players monitor an area of ​​hundreds of miles. Compared with the drone swarms equipped by mechanics, the flying pets bred by trainers certainly have many shortcomings, but the amount of resources required is much less. The two have their own advantages and disadvantages.

As a preliminary transition, Lin Bo felt that a flock of seagulls was more than enough.

The little king quacked excitedly, "Home's skies belong to the seagulls! The more seagulls there are, the stronger we are!"

Lin Bo smiled, picked up his pen again, and began drawing. His ears were filled with the chatter of the little creatures, the murmur of the waves, the whisper of the wind, and the hum of the Titania's mechanics. The clamor of nature dissolved into a long speech, like a group of friends who never felt bored.

At midnight, Lin Bo sorted out the blueprints, took out the guard arm armor, chest armor and burst exoskeleton, as well as a few extra steel ingots.

He chanted the mantra, followed the design on the blueprint, and used the art of controlling life to combine the four pieces of equipment into a complete set of armor that covered the entire body except the head.

The steel melts into soft mud, and the paint on the surface peels off piece by piece as it deforms. The entire process is controlled by the surface touch and endoscopy method, and the processing is smooth and meticulous.

After the modification, the arm armor has hand armor, and the chest armor extends downward and is connected to the exoskeleton.

The entire piece of armor has the distinct lines of muscle of a steel steed, with a slender upper body and plump and strong lower limbs. Thanks to the extremely high processing precision, there is not a single burr, weld or rivet, and the metal surface is smooth and delicate.

A strong and durable body——Comment from the modder
Lin Bo asked [Picking up trash makes me happy] for some spray paint and painted the steel skeleton into jet black. This was to create a unified style with the mage's appearance and also to have a certain anti-rust effect.

Thursday is the gathering day for the elder believers.

The night watchman showed up on time, and church members who arrived first and later greeted him one after another. Many of them spoke in a more cautious and gentle tone than before.

This was the first congregational meeting after the hurricane, and more people came than usual. All the believers in the town who had served the old man all their lives gathered here.

Behind the pulpit, the old priest nodded deeply to Lin Bo.

There was a black circle painted on his forehead. The believers could guess that it was the symbol of following the miracle face. Displaying it openly meant that today's gathering was destined to be different from usual.

After the routine scripture chanting, the old priest publicly announced the strange phenomena that happened to the townspeople, claiming that Stone Tower Town was a holy place where the Five Gods appeared and all living beings here were protected.

The congregants nodded, smiling contentedly as they looked at each other. After the hurricane, divine blessing had become a common understanding among the locals, and everyone felt deeply honored.

The old priest declared, "A miracle has befallen Stone Tower. This event will divide future history into two worlds. The old world has not yet perished, but it is doomed to disappear. A new era will be ushered in by the followers of the miracle, right here, right now."

All the believers present agreed, and their excitement could not be concealed in their whispers.

The lecturer on the stage threatened to restore order and reorder the priorities of the five gods.

"The old man is the most respected of the five gods. His wisdom guides the eldest son, the Holy Father; the eldest daughter, the Good Mother; the second son, the Craftsman; and the youngest son, the Warrior. This is the truth that has been hidden.

"The Miracle Worker is the mortal representative of the Five Gods, the embodiment of the Holy Spirit. He and the Five Gods are one. We will establish a new sect to spread the gospel of miracles.

"Now, brothers who are willing to join the Tower Guardian Order, please come and receive the unction." The old priest asked the servants to bring the unction.

After the voice faded, the air in the church suddenly fell silent, and the five gods on the tapestry lowered their eyes and stared at the world.

In this silence, led by the mayor, the elderly believers lined up and bowed before the servants, allowing them to smear black ointment on their foreheads.

Lin Bo sat upright and watched.

Until the last lay believer received the anointing and joined the order.

The believers who followed the miraculous face turned and looked at the lighthouse keeper who was left alone on the first row of benches. He was the only one present who had not been anointed.

The old priest stepped out of the crowd, knelt before the night watchman, clasped his fingers together, and whispered, "Miracle Worker, please reveal your true face so that the world can worship you."

The wizard in the windbreaker stood up, raised his hand and grabbed a three-eyed black skull mask from the air, and covered his cheek with it.

There was an uncontrollable cry of surprise all around.

Then, ordinary people gathered and surrounded him in silence, their eyes full of eagerness, and they gradually bowed and knelt.

The three-eyed skull lowered its head slightly, looking down at the crowd.

The church was silent, with incense curling up in the air. The skylight shining through the long windows was like a silver silk painting, encompassing him and his believers.

It was a clear autumn morning in Stone Tower.
