Studying Science in the Alternate World

  Chapter 45 Puppet

   "What a mess!"

   "Isn't it? The town is getting more and more chaotic now. Those outlanders are really rampant. Someone even blew up the bright lights last night."

   "Yes, the security team searched in the middle of the night."

   "Did you find out who did it?"

   "I didn't find it, but I can figure it out with my eyes closed. It must have been done by outlanders. A group of scum on horseback has tarnished the virtues of chivalry."

   "What kind of knights are they, they are just a group of mercenaries."

  Early in the morning when Duke came to buy breakfast, he heard someone talking about the explosion of the bright light last night, and the security team even searched in the middle of the night.

  Duke went to bed early and didn't hear anything.

  Even if the security brigade comes to search him, he is not afraid. The sand eagle as a murder weapon is an arcane weapon, and no one can find it if you want to hide it.

  Perhaps an arcane mage whose strength is unpredictable can find Duke by following the path of arcane magic.

  But the Black Snake family does not have a powerful arcane mage, only one high priest is a 2-ring arcane mage, but the 2nd ring in the spiritual arcane field is still only a beginner.

   "So, I didn't blow up the bright light, it was done by foreign mercenaries." Duke relaxed while eating the meat buns.

  Cross the alley and walk towards the construction site on Third Vertical Street.

  The entire construction site is tightly wrapped by iron fences.

   Looking inside through the gaps in the iron fence, you can see countless strange large or small machines busy working.

   There are even large machines like Gundam. The driver wears a Gundam shell and can easily lift a boulder weighing more than ten tons.

  Use boulders to tamp the foundation, and then pour steel bars and cement in the gaps. Such a street can even land an airship stably.

certainly.

  The foundation is so solid, not to stop the airship, but to resist the possible invasion of the underground.

  After all, spirit beasts not only include birds in the sky, beasts on the ground, and fish swimming in the water, but there are also many spirit beasts that burrow around the ground. These crypt spirit beasts seldom invade human residences, but if they do invade, they will definitely die or injure a large number of people.

  Suddenly.

  One of the humanoid Gundams suddenly stopped, and then the mechanical body swayed and fell to the ground.

   "The No. 3 giant puppet is malfunctioning, the No. 3 giant puppet is malfunctioning, and the puppet repairman will enter the venue immediately for repairs!" The peripheral commander immediately shouted with a loudspeaker.

   Immediately, a team of puppet repairers rushed to the No. 3 giant puppet that fell to the ground.

  At this time, the driver crawled out of the giant puppet's operating compartment. His head seemed to have been smashed and he bled a lot: "Damn it, it's the third time. Hurry up and contact the boss to change No. 3's puppet core. This guy will kill me sooner or later!"

   "The puppet core is so expensive. The boss is willing to change the puppet core, so he might as well buy a new puppet." A puppet repairman joked.

   Outside the iron fence.

  Duke glanced enviously at the giant puppet that everyone rushed to repair.

  Like the spirit card, the puppet is also an extraordinary product in the field of spiritual arcana, and many puppets are promoted to the folk by the Erudite Tower.

  Spirit cards are made up of spell models, so they have all kinds of incredible powers.

  The puppet is made up of spell models, and then driven by the spirit gold frame to play the effect of a large-scale construction machine.

  Of course, the puppets on the construction site are ordinary puppets for civilian use, and arcane mages can also make arcane puppets, which can do anything.

   "If only I had a giant puppet, this is more powerful than a bionic exoskeleton." Duke said with emotion.

  But he can't afford it for the time being, the smallest giant puppet is at least dozens of gold dragons larger.

   "That spider puppet is also good."

  He looked at a spider-shaped puppet in the distance. This puppet is sensitive, can climb up and down, and can also dive into the water. It is a multi-functional.

  If there is a spider puppet, most of the chores on the farm can be done by driving the spider puppet.

"never mind."

   "Can't afford it again."

  Duke withdrew his gaze and left the Third Vertical Street construction site.

   When returning along the road, I encountered more than one team of mercenaries. These mercenaries walked through the streets together, and they carried some prey such as spirit beasts on their backs.

  The smell of blood all over his body caused passers-by to dodge one after another.

  Duke didn't want to provoke them either, so he silently stepped aside, let the other party go first, and turned to another alley by himself—there were no alleys in Snakehead Town that he didn't know.

   Just across two streets.

   I saw someone going out over the wall in the alley, carrying a bag on his back, and disappeared around the corner after a few strokes.

   "Thief... the law and order in this town is getting worse and worse." Duke shook his head. Recently, the security brigade of Snakeshou Town has stepped up patrols, but the effect is not good.

  Sheshou Town is called a town, but it actually has a population of more than 100,000, which is equivalent to a small county seat.

   Now that the development order has been issued, all those who want to make a fortune and fish are pouring in, and the security brigade is simply not manned enough.

   "This time the Cuihai Valley development war was initiated by Shenjiao City. I don't know which arcanist will be entrusted to it in the end."

  Twenty or thirty years ago, Mubia, the third-ring arcanist, launched a war to open up the Black Snake Lair when he was old. He was entrusted with the title of Black Snake Baron, and the family fiefdom of Sheshou Town.

  Now the Black Snake Baron Mubia has passed away long ago, but the Black Snake Family has taken root in Snake Head Town.

  Although there are no third-ring arcane masters born, relying on the town of Snake Head, it has developed vigorously, and its bloodline descendants are very prosperous.

  Basically every pioneering war, especially small pioneering wars, was initiated by an arcanist who wanted to create a family. This is also the driving force for the Seven Towers Federation to continue to expand its territory into the wild forest. There are endless resources in the forest waiting to be seized.

   When Duke returned home, he heard someone knocking on the door not long after.

   After opening the door is Sally.

   "Miss Sally?"

"boss."

   "Call me Duke, I'm not your boss anymore."

  Duke invited Sally in and asked her why she came here. Sally hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's Levin."

   "What happened to Levine?"

  "He was fired, Rwanka didn't like him, and despised him for being clumsy."

   "Who is Rwanda?"

   "Oh, I forgot to tell you that Rwanda is the nephew of Boss Lucius. Boss Lucius didn't manage the small Samshuka shop himself, but handed it over to his nephew." Sally shook her head, "Now Levin is unemployed, and he plans to apply for a job at the Spirit Mine Company, but that's too dangerous...so..."

  Sally continued: "Didn't you buy the farm, Duke? I thought you might need to hire someone, so I came here and asked, would you like Levin?"

   "Levin wants to come to the farm?"

   "Yes, he talks about you every day. You were very good to Levin when you were in the store, and he remembered it."

  Although Levine is stupid, he works hard. Duke likes this big man very much, and he thought about taking him away before.

   Now that Levin is expelled, Duke will naturally not refuse: "Where is Levin now, Sister Sally, tell him to come and find me."

   "Okay, Levin is staying at Sister Abby's house for the time being. I'll go find him right now...but I can't let him go to the mine. Sister Abby said that if Levin goes to the mine, we won't see Levin again in a few months."
