Wizard: Gou adds some demon hunting in the Steam Age

At this time, the red moon hung 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 accused.

"If it's really too much, I'm afraid those clergymen will break into the Secret Adjustment Department in the morning, right?"

Alais wiped the beer that spilled from the corner of his mouth, "If you want to say it's too much, it's you. Obviously, you didn't describe it like this in the last meeting."

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

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

Alais' face turned cold, "In this world, the church is not the only solution. Faith is both strength and shackles. 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 like this, I should have left you behind."

"Then you will die on the Cordo Sea too?"

"..."

Alais felt stuffy in his stomach, and after a long while, he finally said: "Tell me, why did you come to me this time? If it's still the same thing as in the morning, don't say anything, so as to save me the last chance. Use my strength on you."

Andrews turned his head to look 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."

"You said the same thing last time."

"This time is different."

Alais looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Did something happen?" "

"I don't know," Andrews shook his head slightly, "I just have a bad feeling."

"Premonition? This is not a good thing. Your premonitions are always very accurate..."

"That's why I have to ask you, Alais. I know you don't have much time, but actually... I don't have much time either."

"Um?"

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

"Dawn is already calling me."

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

"Just this afternoon..."

"Is it related to the morning celebration?"

"I'm afraid so," Andrews pulled up his sleeves and sighed: "According to past 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."

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

"So you agreed?"

"Well, as long as she's in the Secret Adjustment Department, I'll keep her safe. You know, I can't leave too far."

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

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

"Just this once!"

"hehe……"

…

…

It’s not clean anymore, it’s not clean anymore…

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

Especially the pointer, the color is simply too pink.

Claire let go of his hand, her face flushed, "How is it, has it been repaired?"

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

"Then, you can go slower and remember to adjust the time. It's ten o'clock in the evening. Just twist it ten times."

"Ten turns? It's clockwise, then it's fourteen turns counterclockwise. 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. 】

Damn it!

Wei En woke up with a start, sat up and looked around, smiling bitterly: "It turned out to be a dream..."

It's all Claire's fault, just leave. Why do you need to tease her before leaving? It made him have that kind of dream again...

grass,

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

"Yes, you are lucky today, just run away."

In desperation, Wei En could only clean up briefly and stared blankly at the red moon outside the window for a while.

In total, it has been more than ten days since he came to this world, and he doesn't know what is going on in 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 let out a long breath and sealed these memories deep in his origin.

Memories are precious, but he is not yet immersed in the world of the past and cannot extricate himself, 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 completed dozens of mechanical puppet drawings.

But each drawing brings him a different experience, especially when it comes to dismantling each component. Some parts are even as small as a fingernail but have more than a dozen lines engraved on them.

This is undoubtedly the crystallization of the wisdom of our predecessors.

Therefore, when Wei En was drawing the drawings, he became more and more careful, carefully understanding the purpose of the design of the drawings. If he didn't understand something, he would read Wizard Jerry's handwriting.

The progress is not slow.

After studying for a period of time, he clearly understood that the mechanical puppet was not a technological mecha, but a combat weapon that could be controlled through the rune array.

Just like the core rune array of [Ironheart Rager], in addition to the solid heart and furious burst runes, there are also connecting runes for easy manipulation.

And this connection rune is the foundation of mechanical puppets, or in other words, the foundation of all mechanical puppets.

Not only can its function be connected to the mechanical wizard, but it can also easily convert the wizard's thinking instructions into mechanical puppet movements, even as subtle as the knuckle movements of a finger.

Even calling it the core of the mechanical puppet core is not an exaggeration.

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

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 the easiest.

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

[You successfully drew the spiritual rune...]

[...Cornerstone Rune...]

Cornerstone rune?

Is this the original name of the connecting rune?

It's quite vivid - the building block 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 knowledge of runes: the cornerstone runes have reached the full level. Effect: The success rate of drawing this rune is 100%. 】

【……】

[Congratulations on obtaining a full-level rune knowledge. Your rune proficiency promotion progress is: 4/100. Special reward: Spirit level +1. 】

As these runes reach full levels, more knowledge comes to mind, and together with the accumulated income from the previous introduction to runes, Wei En can learn from it.

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 the new runes and believed that it would be easier to disassemble them into the parts of the mechanical puppet later.

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

Dang, Dang Dang...

Before he could start the rune fusion, as the bell rang, the red moon outside the window quietly receded, giving up its light to the rising sun.

The room is also a little brighter.

Wei En just glanced at it and continued to study the fusion of the cornerstone runes and the death origin runes.

[You successfully combined the original runes of Death God Olanel with the cornerstone runes and successfully drew them. Rating: Mechanical puppet? Mechanical life? Special rewards: +5 survival points, +1 spiritual level, +1 toughness level. 】

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 just a link in the rune array applied to the mechanical puppet. It does not belong to the magic 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 could 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."

A smile appeared on Wei En's face, he nodded and said, "Then let's do it."

If it doesn't work in the end, he will admit it. At worst, he will open another puppet system when there is another original sub-body in the future.

Having made his decision, he no longer hesitated, hugged the driver and began to imprint on the back of his head.

[You successfully imprinted the cornerstone rune (God of Death), learned the cornerstone (God of Death), and reached level 1. Comment: If the God of Death wakes up, he will probably come out and kill you immediately... Special rewards: +5 survival points, +2 spiritual level. 】

[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 forms have the ability to learn and improve themselves, and are 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 turned out to be a mechanical life, and it was also a mechanical life with the ability of self-learning and self-improvement, and was good at puppet manipulation...

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

That's right, it means changing the entire system,

You must know that for a genius wizard like Jerry, there is no such perverted thing recorded 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 said, "It's not just powerful, it's simply too powerful."

The effect of the Cornerstone (Death) spell is like this, so if it is combined with the rune array of the mechanical puppet, will it also transform the puppet into life?

If that's the case - then he is truly 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 providing the source, and even more thank you to the person who transformed the God of Death into the source rune. He is really too powerful.

As for the warning on the panel...

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

Sorry, the update is a bit late. There are still three chapters for first order and additional updates.
