The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 303 Arcana Arm and Soul Realm

……

The roars emitted by the fiery red and huge humanoid machinery gradually subsided.

Followed by.

The cockpit protective cover located in the center slowly rises.

A tiny figure ejected from inside——

It was a short, flat-chested girl wearing a metal helmet.

Bobo's figure drew a melodious parabola in mid-air.

before plummeting.

A small umbrella suddenly popped up behind her, and the umbrella swayed, slowing her down.

After a while.

Blue flames also appeared under Bobo's boots.

She stood extremely steadily on the snow in front of Matthew.

"The first test ejection landing was successful!"

The antenna above Bobo's head bloomed with warm yellow light, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

"You have to use the first three sentences in your meeting to praise a lady."

She came to Matthew and stood on tiptoe proudly.

Matthew smiled:

"very beautiful."

"It's shocking."

"Well, the legs are also very long."

Bobo immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this:

"It's time for you to study your vocabulary! Matthew!"

"She's perfect!"

As she spoke, she turned around and opened her arms, as if she wanted to embrace the huge mechanical creation.

"She's perfect."

She repeated and emphasized:

"But I can understand your lack of words. It is precisely because it is so perfect that it is difficult for you to find a word to accurately describe her in the context of common language."

"So I created a word to describe the perfection of a lady - BUMP!"

"Remember this word, in Bobo language, it means the best!"

BUMP?

Matthew repeated.

Bobo immediately turned back to him happily and gave him a thumbs up.

"Even though she is a mechanical creation, if there is a powerful pilot controlling her, it is not impossible to fight the legend head-on!"

Bobo slapped his chest hard.

Can you kill the legend?

Matthew solemnly turned his attention back to the mechanical Titan in front of him.

He quietly sensed the dangerous aura on the mechanical creation.

"This thing may indeed pose a threat to the legend..."

Put aside the tough lines and wild and unrestrained aesthetics of the humanoid machine.

Matthew realized that the special modules and killing moves hidden in the dark were the real terror of the Mechanical Titan.

"However, this design should not be used against mages. Instead, it is more suitable for targeting large units, such as behemoths!"

Think about this.

Matthew couldn't help but ask:

"Did you find that copy of "Machines, Fire Dragons and Titans"?"

Bobo shook his head:

"No."

"But the vice-president of the Huo Sisters helped me find some copies of the book and a semi-finished product of the Mechanical Titan."

"I worked hard to pass the examination of the Wisdom Palace before and became an Artifact Master with S+ potential. It was logical that I became the Chief Artifact Master of World War. Only then did I have the authority to take over these materials and semi-finished products."

"In the end, after my careful transformation, "Lady" was born. "

"Strictly speaking, this is her first flight test in a non-enclosed environment."

"And you are also the first human being besides me to witness the style of a lady!"

Bobo put his hands on his hips and looked proud.

Matthew also showed an expression of honor:

"She does look great."

"But then again, you are now the chief weapon master of World War?"

Bobo waved his hand:

"It's not worth mentioning."

"Because there was an accident before World War, all their original magic weapon masters were lost in the ruins of Yunshang. Currently, I am the only serious magic weapon master in this army, and the others are apprentices. .Then I will naturally be the chief!”

"Aren't you also the chief mage of Rolling Stone Town?"

Matthew smiled.

Then the two of them walked around the lady several times. Bobo excitedly pulled Matthew and introduced him to the special features of the lady.

She also dances when she gets excited.

The antenna on the helmet alternately glows yellow and blue.

Matthew guessed these represented excitement and joy respectively.

"...In short, the lady can perfectly adapt to most combat scenarios in the sky and on land."

"In the hands of the right pilot, the dragon is to her what a wild boar is to a human armed to the teeth!"

Bobo concluded.

Matthew couldn't help but feel itchy after hearing this:

"Can I touch her?"

Bobo put his hands on his hips generously:

"Touch whatever you want."

Matthew went over and gently touched the mechanical parts of the lady's feet, and a cold and cold touch came from his hands.

Just for a moment.

Goosebumps were rising all over his body.

Matthew noticed.

This mecha is spiritual.

Its spiritual level is higher than most units in the cemetery, only a little lower than the soldiers!

"The artificer's creations are truly amazing."

"I don't know if I have the chance to fly a mecha like this."

Matthew looked up.

The overall appearance of the lady is the same as that of a human being, except for the slight bulge on the belly and on both arms near the shoulders.

Those are three faucets.

According to Bobo, the lady can freely switch into seven fire dragon forms with different emphasis.

In fire dragon form.

These dragon heads can spray dragon breath simulated by the artificer's magic.

Its power is not inferior to that of a normal dragon.

What's more important is that these dragon breaths have almost no cooling time. As long as the raw materials are enough, you can spray them for as long as you want!

This thing is a war weapon!

Matthew quickly realized that if someone brought this mechanical Titan onto the battlefield, they would undoubtedly become a nightmare for the enemy.

This may be more desperate than the dragon.

"But wouldn't these legs be a bit too long in human form?"

Matthew asked, pointing to the lady's legs that were obviously a bit deformed compared to her body.

Bobo's eyes widened:

"These are called crane legs. They are my special design. They can be stretched ten times, making them suitable for special operations in lakes or sea environments!"

"Besides, do you think there's anything wrong with having long legs?"

Matthew looked at the long legs of the Mechanical Titan, then looked back at Bobo's short legs.

An expression of sudden realization appeared for an instant.

Bobo's expression became a little unkind.

Matthew quickly invited her to sit in the cemetery.

along the way.

Bobo jumped up and down and talked:

"Today is the day for the first public test of Lady, and it is also the day for the World War to practice on the plateau above the clouds."

"The content of this exercise is mainly to simulate the situation when Yunduan City is attacked by a powerful enemy and the World War Troops are forced to land on the Yunshang Plateau. The lady appears in the exercise as a cooperating unit..."

exercise?

Unexpectedly, the elves in Cloud City not only possess extremely advanced black technology, but their war concepts are also several generations more advanced than those on the ground.

Matthew sighed secretly in his heart.

Immediately he said doubtfully:

"So you sneaked out during the exercise?"

"Doesn't it matter?"

Bobo adjusted his helmet and said calmly:

"Just think of it as my temporary intention to make the exercise a little more difficult."

"Let them try to see how they can deal with the crisis on the frontal battlefield if the lady responsible for coordination is entangled by an evil enemy."

Matthew smiled hoarsely:

"You won't tell them later that the evil enemy is me, right?"

Bobo chuckled.

She did not answer Matthew's question directly, but patted her belly with both hands through her velvet jacket:

"I'm hungry!"

Matthew looked at the red face under the helmet and could only nod his head:

"I'll arrange food for you."

The two quickly entered the cemetery.

Bobo looked at the surrounding environment curiously:

"Your home is so big!"

“And there are so many people!”

The two walked in the cemetery.

Matthew could clearly feel Bobo becoming reserved.

She doesn't seem to be very adaptable to an environment with a lot of strangers.

Matthew took her to the restaurant.

Paige isn't here.

He had to go to the kitchen to tinker with something himself——

Heat the milk, fry a sausage, and make some mushroom noodles.

Although Matthew doesn't cook often, his cooking skills are actually pretty good. Within ten minutes, a strong aroma came from the kitchen.

Bobo came over from the living room.

Her eyes shone as she looked at the food on the table. Matthew smiled and invited her to taste it. She didn't refuse and devoured it.

soon.

All that was left on the table were plates that had been licked clean.

"Is the food in World Warfare bad?"

Matthew asked curiously.

Bobo thought for a while:

“Mechanics don’t pay attention to good food, as long as they can eat well.

The cloud elves are a group of lunatics who will die if they don't starve. You should have seen Emilia, right?

They are both as thin as a piece of paper.

They consume energy differently than we do.

The situation with Cyberosaurs is similar. Although gnomes can eat, they still eat stones directly in most cases. "

"Sometimes after spending a long time with them, I even forget that I am a human being. I often forget to eat and make myself dizzy."

Matthew looked at Bobo with interest.

Being able to enter a cybernetic dragon as a human is enough to show that Bobo is special, but she doesn't seem to realize this yet.

After a full meal.

Bobo's condition is obviously much better.

His expression was not as restrained as before:

"By the way, where is that funny uncle?"

"He should be near your house too, right?"

Matthew thought for a moment.

Bobo should refer to Rhaegar.

So he corrected him seriously:

"Rhaega is the lord of Rolling Stone, and he is about to become the king of Rolling Stone Kingdom."

"I admit that he can be quite funny sometimes, but I'd better not use the title "funny uncle" anymore.

Bobo nodded, with a well-behaved look on his face:

"I see."

Matthew was still a little worried, so he asked:

"Then what are you going to call him when we meet next time?"

Bobo thought for a moment:

"That funny king?"

Matthew immediately stretched out a hand and politely made a forbidden gesture:

"Just call him Rhaegar."

……

Leaving the kitchen, Matthew took Bobo for a stroll in the cemetery.

After eating and drinking enough.

The artificer's desire for new things cannot be suppressed.

Bobo touched the tombstones left and right, looking very curious.

But Matthew knew she had restrained herself.

Although she touched a lot of things.

But they all resisted injecting mana into these things.

This can be seen.

It's a rumor that artificers can't help but turn everything they see into bombs.

At least Bobo's restraint is still good.

Walked all the way.

Bobo suddenly turned back to Matthew and said:

"Did you realize something was wrong?"

Matthew looked around:

"no?"

Bobo said seriously:

"I just came in and saw a lot of undead, but now these undead have disappeared..."

Matthew wanted to explain to Bobo that they might be participating in Peggy's hide-and-seek contest.

Then at this time.

There was also a rush of footsteps on the stairs leading to the underground floor.

The two looked back.

But these two figures still came down the stairs with snow-white figures on their bodies.

These two people were a man and a woman. The man had a broken arm and the woman was indifferent. They were Lumiere and Laila who had returned from the rainforest.

"Matthew, what happened in the cemetery? We just encountered some undead, and they hid when they saw us!"

Lumiere also looked a little confused.

"Are you back?"

Matthew smiled and explained the rules of the hide-and-seek contest, and then the three of them suddenly understood.

"how is the situation?"

Matthew asked Lumiere with concern.

He guessed that this trip to the rainforest was very helpful for Lumiere's growth.

Compared to before.

Lumiere looked more aged, and Matthew noticed that he had begun to grow a beard. This change in appearance made him more mature and his eyes became firmer.

"It's all settled."

"No one blames me. The families of the dead soldiers told me that they were mentally prepared before setting off."

"I know this is what they said to comfort me, and I also know that the tragedy was entirely due to my own mistake, but I know more clearly that I will not make mistakes forever..."

"I'm still the king of the rainforest."

"I will fulfill my promise to all of them."

Lumiere said calmly.

Matthew patted him on the shoulder and chatted with Laila for a while.

The state of the drow warriors is also much more cheerful than before.

Laila was not a particularly gloomy person to begin with. She was taciturn before, probably because of pressure from Gai Lan.

Now that she was freed from Galan and became Matthew's disciple, she was truly free.

The mental state is naturally different.

Matthew could feel it.

Laila's strength has improved a lot compared to before!

If you think about it carefully, as the opponent's extraterritorial sect leader, Matthew has not given Laila any abilities.

This is obviously a bit derelict.

"Go back and find a useful ability for her to give her first."

"Spells can actually be used. After all, her melee strength is already very good. With some ability-based spells, she can have the effect of a surprise attack."

While Matthew and Laila were chatting.

Bobo noticed Lumiere’s empty sleeves:

"Where are your hands?"

Lumiere said calmly:

"It was taken away by a demon lord." Bobo said seriously:

"What's his name? We'll help you get revenge!"

Lumiere whispered:

"No need, he's dead."

"Is that so?"

Bobo's face looked thoughtful. She seemed to have something to say, but she stopped talking.

At this time Matthew came over:

"I was about to tell you about this, the Battle of Wild Wolf Mountain. You must have heard of it, right?"

"Due to an accident during that battle, Lumière lost his right hand."

"I would like to know, if you want to install a robotic arm on him, do you have a suitable solution?"

Bobo jumped up immediately:

"Of course!"

"I was just about to recommend a plan to you, but I'm afraid you are resistant to robotic arms."

Lumiere said:

"I will not resist any power now, let alone machinery. Even if you give me a devil's arm, I will use it!"

Bobo shook his head:

"That won't work, the devil's arm is still too weak!"

"World Sorrow happens to have a ready-made prosthetic solution. I can install a jet-type arcane arm for you. This solution causes very low damage to the nerves, is strong and durable, and the cost is not high. If you follow up, When you get tired of using it, you can always replace it with a new model!”

Lumiere's eyes lit up with a look of anticipation.

But he was still a little nervous and asked:

"How much will it cost?"

Bobo thought for a while:

"A few tens of thousands is enough."

Lumiere frowned subconsciously.

Matthew waved his hand:

"Money is not an issue. There is a war dividend that has not been paid to you before. It is more than enough to buy a mechanical arm."

Lumiere took a deep look at Matthew.

He seemed about to say something, but finally held back.

"money is not a problem."

Matthew emphasized:

“Safety comes first, followed by quality and power.”

Bobo patted his chest and said:

"The arcane arm of this plan comes with a jet propulsion effect. If you want other effects, you can achieve it by adding additional modules."

"An α-level arcane arm can theoretically be equipped with up to six additional modules."

"Let me think about it, the "self-destruct module" is a must!

This mod gives you the ability to drop your arms when necessary to create powerful explosions.

Let's imagine--

While fighting, you suddenly take off your arm, throw it into the enemy pile, and then bang!

What a perfect and shocking picture that must be! "

"I also recommend you to install a "Magic Hook". This module has been banned by the Seven Saints Alliance, but because it is a banned module, you can only think about how powerful it must be. You just need to remember to use it secretly. Once you were discovered, you said you picked it up on the ground..."

"There is also a popular module called "Giant Power", which can give you more than 24 points of power. If the fit is high, it may even be 25 points! With this module, you can easily lift any weapon or heavy object with your arcane arms..."

"I remember there is another module called "Third Hand". This module can attach a mini operating prosthetic hand to your arcane arm. This prosthetic hand can be used for daily maintenance and inspection of the arcana arm. At critical moments, it can also eject magic laser, and you can adjust it to any color you want..."

"And there's more..."

When it comes to professional content, Bobo can't stop dancing.

Matthew quickly wrote down the content of the modules mentioned by Bobo.

Then he placed the list of notes in front of Lumière.

"Choose for me, Matthew!"

"Although I can barely read, I can't understand these things very well."

Lumiere thought for a while and said:

"But I don't need the self-destruct module. I'm a little scared..."

Who would have heard this?

Bobo immediately jumped up from the ground:

"no!"

"Without the self-destruct module, the arcane arm would have lost its soul!"

Lumiere hesitated and said:

"But what if it suddenly explodes while I'm sleeping?"

Bobo thought for a while:

"You could reduce the amount of sleep you get, thereby reducing the chance of an explosion?"

Lumiere looked stunned.

Matthew coughed and changed the subject:

"We will talk about the specific modules needed later. I would like to know more details about this plan."

As he spoke, he handed over the pen and paper.

Bobo took the quill and immediately started drawing on the blank papyrus.

As she spoke, she explained the details of the arcane arm in detail.

quickly.

She filled up a piece of paper.

Matthew hurriedly fetched the second one.

In this process.

Matthew realizes that Bobo has great drawing skills.

Her freehand drawings turned out to be extremely accurate and very close to proportion.

I didn’t know this was an artificer’s ability.

It’s still Bobo’s unique talent.

quickly.

Drawings showing various sections of the robotic arm appeared in front of Matthew and Lumiere.

Bobo asked while drawing:

"What weapons do you usually like to use?"

Lumiere replied:

"unarmed."

"Occasionally use a blow dart."

Bobo shook his head:

"Blow darts are too ancient. In Irondor, ancient means backward most of the time."

"I suggest that after you install the arcane arm, you sign up for one of World War's boot camps. As long as you graduate successfully, your combat skills will definitely be raised to a whole new level."

"By the way, how much do you know about mechanical creations?"

Lumiere shook his head honestly:

"Know nothing."

Bobo suddenly stopped writing and turned to look at Lumiere:

"Then you can definitely become a Titan technician!"

Lumiere was completely stunned:

"What is a Titan?"

"What is a technician?"

Matthew looked on and wanted to laugh.

All I can say is that he has a wild and unconstrained way of thinking.

It is probably impossible for anyone else to let a Jango who has just walked out of the jungle try to drive an extremely complex construct like the Mechanical Titan.

"Forget it, let's wait until you finish installing the arm."

Bobo seemed to realize this.

She calculated quickly on the last piece of paper.

"I should be able to get 120,000 gold coins."

“Comes with three warranty periods for important accessories and five replacements for common small accessories.”

Bobo handed the paper to Matthew.

Matthew nodded repeatedly after reading it.

Bobo is really loyal.

No labor fee will be charged.

The price given is completely the cost price.

She might even lose a little!

"About 130,000."

Matthew quoted his price.

Bobo didn't bargain at all and nodded happily.

Lumiere breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a trace of expectation in his eyes, as if he was already looking forward to the life after regaining his arm.

But at this time.

He suddenly noticed that Bobo was looking at him pitifully.

"what happened?"

Lumiere felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and felt that something was wrong.

Bobo's big eyes flickered, looking full of prayer:

"Are you really not going to add a self-destruct function?"

Lumiere sighed and asked:

"If I say no."

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Bobo immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice:

"If you reject me, I won't be able to sleep today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"

Mathieu reminded Lumière:

"If you don't refuse, you may not be able to sleep every night after getting the arm."

Bobo waved his little fist at Matthew angrily:

"I can add a sleep function to his arm!"

Matthew is curious:

"Can the sleep function reduce the probability of the arm self-destructing?"

Bobo shook his head and said:

"It just helps him sleep more deeply."

After a while.

She added:

"The sleep function also includes two electronically controlled earbuds."

Matthew asked again:

“Can electronically controlled earplugs stop an arm from self-destructing?”

Bobo continued to shake his head and said:

"No."

"But the electronically controlled earplugs can reduce the explosion noise when the arm self-destructs, so that it will not affect his sleep."

Matthew: "..."

He could hardly control his complaining spirit.

But at this moment.

Lumiere suddenly said firmly:

"I'm pretending."

Bobo's eyes lit up:

"really?"

"You can't go back on your word if you confirm it, right?"

"Don't worry, I will try to reduce the power of the explosion for you..."

Lumiere shook his head and said:

"How high can the power be adjusted?"

Bobo thought:

"I don't know the specifics. It's probably equivalent to a legendary level evocation spell, right?"

Lumiere nodded vigorously:

"That's it!"

Matthew looked at Lumiere with some surprise.

Seeing the latter's eyes firm.

He said nothing more.

But at this time.

A tombstone not far away suddenly exploded!

A loud bang sounded in the quiet cemetery.

Everyone was shocked.

The smoke cleared.

Everyone came to the explosion site in shock, only to see fragments of tombstones all over the ground.

Matthew looked back.

But he saw Bobo obediently clasping his hands behind his back.

There was a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Is it too late to regret it now?"

Lumiere asked Mathieu, realizing what was happening.

Matthew patted his shoulder sympathetically, and then waved everyone away.

……

Night falls.

Tonight Rhaegar will hold the official dinner of the Mudong Festival in town.

Because the participants were all ordinary dignitaries of the future Rolling Stone Kingdom, Matthew did not participate.

But Bobo and Lumiere went over to join in the fun.

Peggy's hide-and-seek contest is still ongoing.

There was deathly silence in the cemetery.

Except Qiuka, who was responsible for finding people, bubbled up in Matthew's field of vision from time to time.

The rest of the participating units all hid.

Matthew took this opportunity to recruit the ghost Ali who did not participate in the competition.

In the workshop with the door closed.

Ali looked nervously at Matthew, who looked calm.

There is a black box on the table in the center of the workroom. Next to it is a pile of scalps of the Rand clan devils and a silver knife.

"Sign a deep contract with me, and I will help you advance to "Ghost Archon". "

Matthew gets right to the point.

Ali's soul suddenly shrank violently.

Ghost Archon.

This is a legendary career.

For any soul body, the Ghost Archon is an irresistible temptation.

What's more, Ali knows Matthew quite well.

I know that the latter's character will never deceive me.

"it is good."

Ali responded rather decisively.

Matthew showed a look of satisfaction.

"Now, relax your soul body. I will cut off a part and then inject it into this Horcrux. This action may be a little painful, so please bear with it..."

While talking.

Matthew lifted the silver knife from the table.

He stroked towards Ali lightly.

With the help of exorcism weapons.

The silver knife easily cut off about one-twentieth of Ali's soul!

Ali endured pain from the depths of his soul.

His soul was shaking violently.

"Then the next step is to sign a deep contract..."

Matthew methodically carried out his work according to the established steps.

But at this time.

A familiar feeling came over him.

His vision went dark.

Then the surrounding scenes changed rapidly——

next second.

Matthew found that the scene around him turned dark.

It felt like I was in a coffin!

and many more.

Why does this scene seem so familiar?

Before Matthew could react.

A faint voice came from the coffin next to it:

"Come, brother?"

"Come here and help me see, this coffin board can no longer hold me down!"

Matthew glanced at the data column.

……

"Hint: You have cut off a soul with your own hands, and coupled with your daily accumulation of knowledge, you have officially entered the soul field!

In the process of exploring the Soul Realm, you were inspired by your old acquaintance "Oluolin" in the Tomb Realm and came to the Demonic Realm of Ravenloft..."
