Extraordinary Sailing

A restless night passed.

The sky has already quietly turned pale.

Looking at the unexpected harvest from the dream in their hands, the two of them no longer felt sleepy.

For them, "adventure" itself is not the goal, but the ultimate harvest. For adventurers, only precious treasures are the best consolation for surviving a near-death.

I changed my clothes again.

Even though it was very cold in the middle of winter, Ivan still wore a simple trousers and shirt, while Olivia put on a lady's hunting suit, and Ivan also put on his large captain's cloak "Thunderbird Method" for her. robe".

On a stretch of sand next to the campsite, the two of them looked closely at the brass box together.

"This should be a creation of the 'Alchemy School'?"

Olivia, who had fought them in the dream, took the lead in making her own judgment.

Although the toy soldiers have colorful paint on the surface, they are essentially metal puppets. Even apprentices who have just started know which school of wizards is better at this kind of creation.

Ai Wen didn't express his opinion hastily. He looked at the exquisite pattern on the box cover thoughtfully for a while, and then reached out and opened the box cover.

Click——

However, this time the "soldiers" did not jump out by themselves as they did in the dream.

After waiting for a while, the two of them leaned their heads together to look inside the box. Inside were densely packed pocket toy soldiers the size of beans, hot and cold weapons, bronze cannons of various calibers, chariots, military horses, and even clockwork locomotives.

But they are like real toys now, and they are not as lively as they were when they besieged Olivia last night.

Ivan picked it up and shook it vigorously, even if it was turned upside down, the world inside the box would not be affected at all, as if they were in another space.

"Aiwen, during the previous battle, these soldiers were all possessed by 'ghosts'. After the 'ghosts' were purified by me, they all stopped moving. Are they broken?

Eh? No, why does the alchemy puppet need a 'ghost' to control it? "

The girl just had a guess, and immediately vetoed it herself. In this ever-changing era of the steam industry, how could it be so inconvenient for alchemy, which has come to the fore and even become the mainstream of witchcraft?

It's almost the same as "voodoo" or "necromancy".

At this time, Aiwen, who tossed and turned and carefully studied every pattern of the [toy box], finally spoke excitedly:

"It wasn't broken by you, but it was restored to its original form under your spiritual purification.

Moreover, it does not come from the 'Alchemy School', but the 'Activation School'!

I should have thought earlier, this is an extraordinary gathering. "

Excitement overflowed at the brows, and Aiwen's fingertips flickering with "activation aura", lightly tapped on a certain rune hidden in the pattern on the surface of the box.

Hum——

The wind of spirituality suddenly picked up on the beach, and the light green light stream quickly flowed along the lines on the surface of the brass box, spreading to every corner inside and outside. Like rain after a long drought, the lifeless brass box "lived" instantly.

clatter la la la

One after another metal soldiers popped out of the box like raindrops, turned into adult size, and formed two neat square formations, one red and one blue, in front of the two of them.

They are composed of musketeers carrying guns, chariot soldiers driving cars, artillerymen operating cannons, and cavalry cavalry with sabers on horseback. The total number reached 300 people.

Then, in the red and blue phalanx, an officer with extraordinarily gorgeous paint and a marshal hat came out, saluted Ivan who was holding the box, and asked for instructions in a non-fluctuating tone:

"Your Excellency Commander, please order!"

Olivia, who was once besieged by them, had lingering fears. Seeing an army of this size, she had quietly hid behind Ai Wen, leaning over his shoulder and aiming at the majestic army formation.

"What's your name?"

The two metal officers did not respond to the question, but repeated:

"Your Excellency Commander, please order!"

As if not very smart, Ai Wen touched his chin and defined them in his heart.

Toy soldiers should have a very primitive mechanical intelligence, and they will only do things according to the established rules. But that's good too, don't worry about a real-life mechanical public enemy.

Then try to issue the command:

"Why don't you show it to me?"

"Obey, Commander!"

Under the leadership of their respective commanders, the two phalanxes, the red and blue, stepped forward separately. When the distance between the two was close to a hundred steps, they suddenly stood at attention, turned around, and raised their guns. However, they were not pointing at the demonstration target, but at each other.

When Ivan just realized something was wrong.

"Fire!"

The two sides had a tacit understanding and ordered at the same time.

boom! boom! boom!

boom! boom! boom!

This time, the power of their shots is obviously far more powerful than when they are forcibly controlled by a group of "ghosts" in the dream.

At a distance of one hundred steps, the muskets in their hands can leave deep depressions on the opponent's metal body, and the artillery can blast the opponent's soldiers to pieces

And he didn't know how to dodge and didn't mean to keep his hand at all.

咴er——

Seeing that the chariot soldiers and cavalry were about to charge under the artillery fire.

That kind of momentum is obviously not willing to give up until one side falls completely, or both sides perish together!

"Stop, stop, MD, you mentally retarded!"

Ivan, who was stunned for a moment, finally realized what good things these metal lumps had done, and hurriedly stopped them.

Although the soldiers had no brains, they still carried out the orders of Aiwen, the new master, without any compromise. The sound of gunfire stopped immediately, and the two sides lined up again.

However, in just half a minute, the number of soldiers has been reduced by nearly a quarter.

The "toy" that had just been acquired became like this before it was warmed up, and the sacrifice was meaningless, and Ai Wen felt extremely distressed.

"return!"

The toy soldiers were ordered to pick up the metal stumps of their companions from the ground, and returned to the open box as little people again.

Aiwen held the box and fell into thought.

Because he has the first and third volumes of the inheritance secret volume "The Sacrifice of Flesh and Flesh" in his hand, which can connect the past and the future, so when he sees Billy the Clockwork Man, he can almost see at a glance that the technology used in him may be the same as the first volume. Volume two is related.

But until now, he was completely sure that these soldier dolls were not made using the normal alchemy golem puppets, but from the fourth volume [Witchcraft·Activation of the Dead].

Because the body of the smashed metal soldier did not have any gears or machinery, but a hollow metal body. Similar to those marble sculptural guards inside the oversized rock golem "Mountain Giant".

According to the introduction in the catalog of the first volume.

The fourth volume corresponds to the knowledge of high-level wizards. It mainly records [Animation of Ship Spirits] and [Animation of Dead Objects]. It is quite different from the content of the previous three volumes on creatures and potions. It is already another vast and profound field.

The ghost named Little Jack has no permission to use [Toy Box] and no corresponding knowledge. He just relies on "ghosts" to enter these "activated dolls" and force them to drive them.

No wonder the creation of at least a high-ranking wizard was huge, but he couldn't even kill a formal knight whose witchcraft was banned. Uh, I suddenly glanced at Olivia who was looking at the toy box with a novel face. Bah, bah, bah, bah Bah, children say nothing, children say nothing.

It turned out to be the wrong way to open it.

Even if there are only three quarters of the toy soldiers left at this time, the frontal combat power is far stronger than that of the first-order peak of the same level, and it is even enough to crush the crew of the "Storm Horn". But in terms of side combat power, I'm still mentally handicapped

However, even so, Ivan is satisfied enough.

I don't know how long this toy box has been covered in dust on the "Dream" which has never seen the sun. It is really a blessing to finally meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty after the dust is blown away today!

Afterwards, Aiwen's fingertips flashed again, pointing to another rune on the box.

laugh--

Without warning, snow-white steam quickly escaped from the cracks in the box.

Throwing it on the beach, Ivan grabbed Olivia and stepped back.

click click click

It seems that the compression module in the space of the copper box has been released, countless gears, bearings, springs, and mainsprings. Accompanied by the melodious metallic sound, they continue to expand and expand.

Under the gaze of the stunned two people who retreated into the distance, it turned into a huge metal house with a tall chimney in just five minutes.

Gudong

Swallowing, Ivan and Olivia, who were shocked again, walked in carefully hand in hand.

Only then did they discover that the toy box as a battle-type alchemy creation was only on the surface, and the essence of the brass box was an alchemy workshop that could fold space.

On the assembly line at this time, the damaged toy soldiers have begun to be recast and repainted.

Obviously, there is a complete repair system in the alchemy workshop. As long as the materials are collected, new soldiers can be recreated even if the damage is severe.

Not to mention the loss of a quarter, the entire army is wiped out. As long as there is an alchemy workshop, an army of toy soldiers can be obtained again soon.

"Isn't the power of the upper wizard too exaggerated?"

"The premise should be a high-level wizard who is good at creating things. My mother doesn't have such skills."

This alchemy workshop is much stronger than the high-end props "Alchemy Secret Box" of the current alchemy school. It integrates space expansion, laboratory, cultivation room, alchemy arsenal, etc. It is simply an artifact that every alchemist dreams of.

Even if it is a real artifact, it will not be replaced.

In addition, Aiwen also found that the biological modulation laboratory, which obviously serves the knowledge of the second and third volumes of "The Sacrifice of Flesh", can accommodate a small number of biological materials to survive for a long time and slowly transform.

What surprised Aiwen the most was that he also found a diary and a lot of research materials in the drawer of the alchemy workshop.

Uh, keep a diary?

Obviously, the previous owner of the toy box was not a serious person, and he might even be a sophomore in making toys with this technology, but it is certain that he has mastered the fourth volume of "Rite of Flesh and Flesh".

This alchemy workshop itself is a masterpiece of "skills", but if there is "Tao", Aiwen can create the second and third ones by himself.

After hastily flipping through the materials, although Aiwen felt a little regretful, he also gained a lot.

The owner of the diary only left his wizard name as "Steel Man" or "Iron Man" in translation.

He was active much earlier than the "snake man" Heber Crete.

The focus of this high-level wizard's research is on [Revitalizing Dead Objects]. There are detailed research records on this series of witchcraft in the data, and it is also the most valuable part of the written records.

It's a pity that he didn't have many descriptions of another witchcraft in the fourth volume [whole activation technique], which is the [activation ship spirit technique] that Ivan has been thinking about.

The latter is just an ordinary diary of little value, and it doesn't explain why the toy box ended up on the "Dream". But since the toy box is lost there, it is obviously impossible to be this powerful high-ranking wizard himself.

Perhaps some of the great wizard's successors explored the "Dream", but eventually fell there until Aiwen arrived. Because the style of these alchemy guns is relatively modern, they have obviously been improved by professionals.

After a long time, Aiwen put down the diary and shook his dizzy brain that was too excited.

The excitement is far higher than the time when I got the treasure tree before. After all, no matter how good the treasure tree is, it is a foreign object, but it is related to the future of my wizard's career!

Could it be that the combination of the "Adventurer's Blood" swords of myself and Olivia also has the function of increasing the extraordinary gathering effect?

In the future, if I want to go out for a walk more, in addition to the second volume that already has clues, even the fifth volume "Blood of the Creator" is not a dream!

With almost nowhere to put his hands and feet, Ivan hugged Olivia who was also checking the research materials of "Steel Man" next to him, and kissed her rosy cheeks hard:

"Hessie, you are my goddess of luck!"
