This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Aidan said angrily: “He said he was a painter of the old school, and he often held exhibitions in the city and invited people to visit.

"But his paintings were all just inexplicable blocks of color; they weren't paintings at all! Looking back now, it was only after seeing those paintings that I deliberately ignored these logical fallacies!"

"Painter?" Ye Yiyi looked at Alice.

"It's a form of hypnosis," the girl replied. "After all, if you want to subtly influence someone's mind or subconscious without them noticing, using painting as a medium to convey the technique is the best."

Alice still had something to say in front of Aidan.

In the era of the ancient kings' land kingdoms, except for a small number of magics that the kings had never made public, basically all the kings' magics could be freely chosen to be learned, including this kind of hypnosis magic.

The reason why no one uses this technique to do evil is because Chaos and Impermanence also disclosed a technique that can remove all hypnotic states.

Compared to the effort required to hypnotize others, removing the hypnotic state is so simple that there is no threshold. It can even be set in the magic catalyst, and it will be automatically removed once the hypnotic state is detected.

But in this era ten thousand years later, hypnosis has become unsolvable.

It’s not Aidan’s fault for not being cautious. After all, this thing is a dimensionality reduction attack and there is no defense against it.

"Since the hypnotist is the magician beside the lord, doesn't that mean most of the people in Amblet, including the lord, have been hypnotized?" Ye Yiyi realized the seriousness of the problem.

"That's what I'm worried about!" Aidan looked serious.

"Don't worry."

Alice crossed her arms and said calmly,

"Think about his purpose in hypnotizing you, and then think about the purpose of our trip."

Aidan's eyes lit up, "You mean?"

"It's obvious." Ye Yiyi shook his head, "He's after this magician's tower."

"What are you waiting for?" Aidan said angrily. "Let's get to the top of the mountain right now and chop that tower and his bullshit intentions into pieces and feed them to the dragon!"

"Don't worry, wait until I finish this puppet first."

Ye Yiyi looked at Alice and said, "I guess this is a sensory doll made by Stitis. What do you think?"

"So it's a puppet?"

Alice walked around the puppet, then stopped at the puppet's head and poked the top of the puppet with a dagger that was glowing white.

The steel head that was originally tightly closed suddenly opened to both sides, revealing its internal structure.

"Look at this."

Alice took out a complex golden metal device and handed it to Ye Yiyi.

"This is……"

He looked down, and a light curtain popped up.

Axis of Sacred Induction

Chapter 273 [Hook Lock Wristband] and [Star Indigo Lighthouse]

Axis of Sacred Induction

Item Description: A mechanical artifact wrapped around the transmission shaft.

One of the blessed axes of perception.

Collect the Axis and present it to the Chaos Forge.

Through divine blessings, one can comprehend the spells engraved in the axis.

You can also give it to the Moon Mystic Workshop's puppets in exchange for magic and items.

It is said that when ancient craftsmen were developing and making puppets,

Reference to the Trick Servant's power core.

Therefore, an axis containing a large amount of driving magic was created.

"This thing seems interesting."

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Aidan, who was looking up and down at the puppet and shouting not far away.

He turned his head and looked at Alice who was still fiddling with the puppet's head and asked in a low voice.

"What is the Chaos Forge?"

"It's where the golem's axis is cast."

"Where is that place?"

Alice looked back at him in surprise, as if she didn't realize he would suddenly ask this question.

She stopped what she was doing, thought for a moment, and then spoke again.

"The Chaos Forge is in a foundry in Hell, but I don't know which foundry it is."

"Foundry? Isn't that where the skilled slaves are forged?"

"Because the puppets were originally made to imitate the skillful servants," Alice explained.

"The puppet's axis is engraved with numerous spells from the various kings. It's the core component that drives the puppet. It's said to be somewhat similar to the power core of the Skill Servant. Without it, the puppet can't move."

"So, this is the power source of the puppet?"

"That's not the case. If we compare it to a human, the Axis is the puppet's brain. As for the power source of the heart, I really don't know."

Alice shook her head. "I don't know much about the golem. I only know about its magic."

"brain……"

Ye Yiyi looked at the metal device in his hand and thought to himself, isn't this thing equivalent to a computer's CPU?

If I offer this thing to the Chaos Forge, I can learn the spells inside?

Ye Yiyi's eyes lit up and she thought to herself, this is a good idea.

If I collect more, won't I have a fixed source of magic?

Of course, this item can also be taken to the Moon Mystic Workshop and given to the bricklayer in exchange for magic and items.

This thing is so valuable, it seems that I can't let go of any puppets I meet along the way.

After putting the axis away, he looked at Alice who had half of her body stuck into the puppet's head, and couldn't help but ask.

"So you're looking for a power source?"

"power supply?"

Alice shrank back from the puppet's head, holding some cables and mechanical devices of unknown purpose. After tilting her head and thinking for a while, she understood what Ye Yiyi meant and shook her head.

"That's not the case. I just happen to have some suitable materials here, so I plan to make a little gadget that will be convenient for traveling."

"A little gadget?"

"You'll know in a moment." The girl raised the corners of her mouth and gave him a mysterious smile.

As she spoke, she walked to the side, placed the thing in her hand flat on a protruding rock, and asked Ye Yiyi for a waist lamp for lighting.

Then she took out the dagger, which emitted a faint white light, and gently tapped it on the device in front of her.

Then the hard metal suddenly softened like clay and fused together with the cable.

Under Ye Yiyi's astonished gaze, in just a moment, a metal arm cuff took shape.

"almost."

The girl took out the Blue Devil's Claw she carried with her and took a sip. Then she tapped the arm cuff with the dagger that was glowing white, and declared that the task was accomplished.

"Come on, stretch out your left hand."

Ye Yiyi was stunned for a moment, "Is this for me?"

"What else?" The girl tilted her head, raised an eyebrow at him, and smiled brightly. "I know you like new things, so I made this especially for you."

"Yeah."

Ye Yiyi also smiled knowingly, then stretched out his right hand and let Alice install the armrest on his left wrist.

After installation, the light curtain pops out.

【Hook lock wristband】

Item Description: Wristband with simple structure and powerful functions.

An item crafted from the remains of a sensory golem.

It can eject magnetic hook locks and adsorb on objects.

Can quickly climb to high places or close the distance with the enemy.

It can also pull light objects or enemies in front of you.

A special gift that is both exquisite and full of sentiment.

Give it to people who like novelty.

"A special gift filled with emotion..."

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi muttered this sentence in his heart and looked up at Alice blankly.

"Let's try it out." The girl showed an expectant expression on her face. "Let's see if it works."

He looked at the smile on Alice's face, took a deep breath, and then nodded heavily.

"Okay, I'll try." Ling Meng said,

He looked around, then looked at the high rock wall and raised his left hand upward.

"Whoosh!"

He exerted a little force with his arm, and a thin hook with a faint silver light suddenly shot out from the inside of the arm cuff, making a slight sound of breaking through the air, and accurately hit the rock wall he was aiming at.

"It's pretty fast."

He thought in his mind, and exerted force on his wrist again. The silver rope quickly straightened and carried his body upwards.

Aidan, who was pondering the structure of the puppet, heard a sound of breaking air. He looked up suddenly and saw Ye Yiyi flying into the sky with a "whoosh". He couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"what?"

"The effect is pretty good."

Ye Yiyi leaned against the rock wall, looked around, and finally took a close look at the arm cuff.

The rope that shot out from the arm cuff emitted a faint silver light and looked like it was made of metal. The top of the rope was not the hook he had imagined, but an illusory suction cup of medium size, clinging to the rough rock wall.

"Is this a magnetic hook lock?" He looked curious. "But rocks aren't magnetic. How on earth does this thing stick?"

After a little exploration, he quickly mastered the use of the hook wrist cuff, and released the rope from the air, landing next to the two people.

The reason for not jumping down directly was not only to test the effectiveness of the wristband, but also to avoid scaring Aidan.

"Oh my god, Sirius, did you make this exquisite little thing right here?"

Aidan widened his eyes, grabbed Ye Yiyi's left arm and looked at the wristband carefully, and finally opened his mouth in horror.

"Sirius! You're a genius!"

Well, it looks like Aidan is still scared.

"Genius? Whatever."

The girl smiled indifferently, neither humble nor proud, and she had no intention of explaining the principle in detail to Aidan.

She completely ignored the old man's look, which asked, "Can you make one for me too?" and pointed to the top of her head.

"It's time to keep going before the rain gets any heavier."

"You won't back down again this time, will you?" Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows and teased the old man.

"I spent so much effort to persuade you to retreat? Isn't it because I'm afraid that you two, who are obviously not strong enough, still insist on showing off?

"I've seen many reckless young men like this. If I hadn't been protecting them, their bodies would have been buried in the swamp long ago."

Who knew Aidan would roll his eyes and retort back.

"Since you two are so formidable, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known you were so powerful, even capable of taking this thing on alone, I wouldn't have said a word! Humph!"

Seeing Aidan's angry look, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but smile.
