Chapter 45 Puppet
"It's really a mess!"
"Isn't it? The town is getting more and more chaotic now. Those foreigners are really rampant. Someone even blew up the light last night." "
Yes, security. The brigade searched for half the night."
"Have you found anyone who did it?"
"No, but you can think with your eyes closed that it must have been done by foreigners, a group of scum on horseback, who have tarnished the virtues of knights." "
What kind of knights are they? , just a group of mercenaries."
When Duke came to buy breakfast early in the morning, he heard someone talking about the light being blown up last night, and the security brigade even searched the place in the middle of the night.
Duke went to bed early and heard no movement.
Even if the security brigade comes to search him, he is not afraid. The sand eagle as the murder weapon is an arcane weapon. If you want to hide it, no one will be able to find it.
Perhaps an arcane mage with unpredictable abilities can penetrate the darkness and find Duke by following the arcane path.
However, the Black Snake family does not have a powerful arcane mage. There is only one high priest who is a level 2 arcane mage. However, in the field of spiritual arcane magic, level 2 is still considered a beginner.
"So, it wasn't me who blew up the bright lamp, it was the mercenaries from outside." Duke felt relaxed as he ate the meat buns.
Cross the alley and walk towards the construction site on Third Vertical Street.
The entire construction site was tightly wrapped by iron fences.
Peering through the gaps in the iron fence, you can see countless strange large and small machines busy at work.
There are even large machines like Gundams. The driver wears a Gundam shell and can easily lift boulders weighing more than ten tons.
Use boulders to ram the foundation, and then pour steel bars and cement in the gaps. Such a street can even land an airship stably.
certainly.
Such a solid foundation is not to ground the airship, but to resist possible invasion underground.
After all, there are not only spiritual beasts in the sky, animals on the ground, and fish swimming in the water, but there are also many spiritual beasts that crawl around underground. These crypt spirit beasts rarely invade human residences, but if they do invade, there will definitely be a large number of casualties.
suddenly.
One of the humanoid Gundams shuddered, then its mechanical body swayed and fell to the ground.
"Giant Puppet No. 3 is malfunctioning. Giant Puppet No. 3 is malfunctioning. Puppet maintenance technicians will come in immediately for repairs!" The peripheral commander immediately shouted with a loudspeaker.
Immediately, a team of puppet maintenance technicians rushed towards the fallen giant puppet No. 3.
At this time, the driver climbed out of the giant puppet's operating cabin. His head seemed to have been smashed and he was bleeding a lot: "Damn, it's the third time. Contact the boss quickly and get a new puppet core for No. 3." , this guy will knock me to death sooner or later!"
"The puppet core is so expensive. If the boss is willing to replace the puppet core, 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 was repairing.
Like spirit cards, puppets are also extraordinary products in the field of spiritual arcana. The Erudite Tower has promoted many puppets to the people.
The spirit card is composed of spell models and has a card core, so it has all kinds of incredible powers.
The puppet core is composed of a spell model, and is driven by the spiritual gold frame to exert the effect of large-scale construction machinery.
Of course, the puppets on the construction site are all ordinary civilian puppets. The arcane mage can also create arcane puppets, which can do anything in heaven or earth.
"I wish I had a giant puppet. This is a more powerful thing than a bionic exoskeleton." Duke sighed.
But he couldn't afford it for the time being. The smallest giant puppet was at least dozens of gold dragons in size.
"That spider puppet is not bad either."
He looked at a spider-shaped puppet in the distance. This puppet has sensitive movements and can climb up and down, as well as drill into water and drill into the ground. It mainly has a multi-function.
If you have a Spider Puppet, most chores on the farm can be completed by driving the Spider Puppet.
"Forget it."
"I can't afford
it anymore." Duke looked away and left the Third Vertical Street construction site.
When returning along the road, I met more than one group of mercenaries. These mercenaries were walking through the streets together, and they also carried some prey such as spiritual beasts on their bodies.
The smell of blood all over his body caused passers-by to dodge.
Duke didn't want to provoke them, so he silently moved out of the way, letting the other party go first, and branched off to another alley - there was no alley in the entire Snake Head Town that he didn't recognize.
Just crossed two streets.
I saw someone in the alley climbing over the wall to go out, carrying a baggage, and disappeared around the corner in a few seconds.
"Thief... the security in this town is getting worse and worse." Duke shook his head. Recently, the Sheshou Town Security Brigade has strengthened 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 town.
Now that the development order has been issued, people who want to make a fortune and fish are all coming here, and the security brigade simply does not have enough manpower.
"This time the war to open up the Cuihai Valley is led by Shenjiao City. I don't know which arcane mage will be entrusted to it in the end." Twenty or thirty years ago, the third level arcanist Mubia launched the
war to open up the Black Snake Lair after he got old. , and was granted the title of Baron Black Snake, and the family fiefdom was Snake Head Town.
Now, Baron Mubia of Black Snake has long passed away, but the Black Snake family has taken root in Snake Head Town.
Although no third-level arcane mage was born anymore, it relied on Snake Head Suppression to develop vigorously, and its bloodline heirs were very prosperous.
Basically every pioneering war, especially the small-scale pioneering war, was started by an arcane mage who wanted to create a family. This is also the motivation for the Seven Towers Federation to continuously expand into the wild forest. There are endless resources in the forest waiting to be grabbed.
When Duke returned home, he heard someone knocking on the door not long after.
When the door opened it was Sally.
"Sister Sally?"
"Boss."
"Call me Duke, I'm no longer your boss."
Duke invited Sally in and asked her why she came here. Sally hesitated for a moment before saying: " It's Levin."
"What happened to Levin?"
"He was fired. Rwanda didn't like him and thought he was clumsy."
"Who is Rwanda?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Rwanda is Lu Xiu. Boss Lucius is the nephew of Boss Si. Boss Lucius did not manage the Little Sam Shoka Shop himself, but handed it over to his nephew." Sally shook her head, "Now that Levin is unemployed, he plans to apply for a job at the Spirit Mine Company. Mine, but it is too dangerous... so..."
Sally continued: "Duke, didn't you buy a farm? I thought you might need to recruit people, so I came over and asked, would you like Levin?"
"Levin wants to come to the farm?"
"Yes, he talks about you every day. You were very nice to Levin when you were in the store, and he always remembers it."
Although the Levin people are stupid, they are hardworking and uncomplaining. Duke likes this big man very much and has thought about taking him away before.
Now that Levin has been expelled, Duke will naturally not refuse: "Where is Levin now? Sister Sally, please ask him to come to me." "
Okay, Levin is staying at Sister Abi's house for the time being. I will go find him right away." He...can't let him go into the mine. Sister Abi said that if Levin goes into the mine, we will never see Levin again in a few months."
