Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

Two days later, guest cabin room.

The facilities in the room are simple, with only a bed and a card table.

Chu Ming sat at the card table, holding a book in his hand and supporting his chin with his arm. He looked thoughtfully at the fog that covered the sky outside the window. As the airship moved, he could only see the black trees receding like trees. film.

The magic airship has left the Clinton Kingdom and entered the foggy area of ​​the Mani Kingdom.

As Roman said, the scenery from the upper deck of the airship's ninth floor is excellent, which can relieve the claustrophobic and depressed mood of the crew.

Just after entering the foggy area, in order to prevent accidents, Bernardo had ordered the crew not to go to the deck at will, and they were only allowed to watch the scenery outside the airship in the exhibition hall on the ninth floor.

During the past two days, Chu Ming has not been idle. Whenever he has time, he will discuss the topic of puppet production with Roman.

At the beginning, Roman was able to answer a lot of questions for Chu Ming. Later, he found that Chu Ming was very efficient in learning. He would not ask the questions he usually asked a second time, and he was making steady progress every day.

Up to now, Chu Ming has reduced the frequency of asking questions about making golems. Roman even suggested that he try to get in touch with golems. After all, theory is theory and practice is practice. He can only move his mouth but not his hands. The theory is like a castle in the air, insubstantial. .

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A rhythmic knock on the door sounded, and Chu Ming immediately realized that there was a work devil knocking on the door. Only this kind of work devil that acted strictly in accordance with logical patterns could knock out a rhythm that made obsessive-compulsive disorder extremely comfortable. feel.

He came to the door and opened it. As expected, what stood outside was a tall working demon doll with the brilliance of the magic circle flowing through it. At this time, it was holding a wooden box and stiffly Standing still.

The devil said nothing. After seeing the guests coming out, it walked into the room, put down the wooden box, turned around and left the room.

"This should be the old demon doll that Roman wants to train me on."

After closing the door, Chu Ming sat cross-legged on the ground, opened the wooden box, and took out a short demon doll that had collapsed into a ball. Under the box, there were piles of scattered parts and tools.

Chu Ming put his hands under the armpits of the demon doll, propped it up, and observed it carefully.

"This should be a mechanical golem."

According to the different logic core, power core and transmission structure, golems can be divided into magic golems, mechanical golems and memory golems.

Among them, the body structure of the magic circle golem is the simplest. Its body is driven by magic power, and the power is transmitted through the magic circle carved on the body. The most complex part of the body is the magic circle carved on the body of the magic doll and the joint patterns connecting the limbs. Ball, there are certain requirements for the magic circle practice level of the magician.

The structure of the mechanical golem can be regarded as the most complex among the three types of golems. Its body is composed of various gears, connecting rods, transmission shafts, hydraulic devices, magic mechanical devices... which requires the golem master to have extremely high abilities. With a rich reserve of mechanical knowledge, goblins are the best at the field of mechanical golems.

Strictly speaking, if the appearance of the magic airship is ignored, it can also be classified as a mechanical golem.

Goblins can use the knowledge of golems to make such behemoths, and it is natural to create various golems and behemoths.

Like the epic mithril beast that Chu Ming encountered a long time ago, it can be easily created by the Goblin Puppet Master's level of puppets.

But the abnormality of the mithril beast is not its body structure, but its golem body made entirely of mithril.

Due to its excellent magic-guiding properties, mithril is extremely rare even in the modern era of magic. If the wasteful act of using a large amount of mithril to cast an epic golem was seen by a modern golem master, he would be so angry that he would vomit several liters of blood.

The huge amount of mithril did allow the mithril behemoth to charge up a terrifying blow that could destroy a small town, far exceeding the explosive power of an epic star. But if these mithrils could be given to any puppet master, they could Several legendary demon dolls have been created.

"The mithril beast should still be in the hands of the vampires, but I guess it has been broken down into materials and bought. After all, the value of the materials themselves is much higher than the value of this demon doll."

Chu Ming shook his head and returned his attention to the demon doll in his hand.

In fact, the type of golem he wanted to learn to make was not a magic golem or a mechanical golem, but a memory golem.

In the perception of the puppet master, the magic puppets and mechanical puppets are called first-generation puppets, while the memory puppets are the latest second-generation puppets.

The source of the memory golem's power comes from magic power and memory. Everything in the body is driven by memory. It can perfectly inherit the power of his memory and is the best choice for creating a clone.

The reason why there is a generational difference between the memory golem and the other two golems is not in the physical structure, but in the core of logic.

In essence, both the magical array golems and the mechanical golems rely on the logical array patterns to receive orders and make judgments. The golems have strong procedural and purposeful nature. They are strict and will only follow the instructions of the golem master. Predetermined actions are logically followed.

The memory golem relies on the memory in the memory crystal to receive commands and make judgments. Compared with the logic array pattern, it will be freer and closer to human thinking. As long as the memory is there, the golem can easily solve it, so Under normal circumstances, people cannot tell the difference between memory golems and normal people.

But the Memory Golem also has its flaws. It also has all the knowledge blind spots that people have, and it will become more serious. Once it touches the knowledge blind spots, in severe cases, the Memory Golem will even crash.

The memory golem is equivalent to a person who never changes. It cannot learn independently like a human being. It will become extremely dull after touching the blind spot of knowledge.

"But if we can combine the alchemy of doll life..."

I have to admit that the inventor of the puppet life alchemy is really a genius. He was able to activate the memory and logic of the puppet and create a real puppet life.

Just like the maid Mattie, she was just a memory golem, but she gained life through the alchemy of the doll's life.

Chu Ming's pursuit is the Memory Doll and Doll Life Alchemy. Only the combination of the two can satisfy his requirements for clones, and the created clones are more likely to be recognized by the Ancient Tree of Time.

"The Memory Doll itself has no requirements for the structure of the body. It can be constructed using the magic circle golem or the mechanical golem. Anyway, from the moment you run the memory, the memory will take over the transmission device in the body and condense the memory. Flesh.”

Chu Ming removed the metal cover on the back of the head of the demon in his hand, revealing the densely packed logic array module inside.

Scanning his eyes, his sharp eyes instantly discovered several bad pixels that were burned out due to overload.

However, these are not the only problems with this golem. There are also problems such as wear of the metal plate and cracking of the logic array. It is difficult to imagine what this mechanical golem has gone through to burn out the logic array and lose all parts. …

Fortunately, it is protected by a metal shell and the logic circle area is not exposed, so the aging is not very serious.

"Mattie's body should have been a magic circle golem at the beginning. After receiving the life alchemy of the doll, it transformed into a memory body. The production method of the magic circle golem is similar to that of the elemental body. It seems that I will follow We need to focus on the learning and production of magic circle golems.”

"As for this mechanical golem, let's just use it as a training exercise. The difficulty of repairing it is just right for my current level."

After holding the golem and observing it for a while, he raised his head and glanced at the fog outside the window.

"This foggy area is so large. I don't know when I will be able to leave. I just want to pass the time by repairing the golems."

"It's just that the fog doesn't appear out of nowhere. I hope nothing bad happens."

Chu Ming picked up the knife-tip pen used to disassemble the golem and began the repair work.

…

In the endless fog, a gigantic creature shining with the brilliance of the magic circle passed through it, making a loud roar that shattered the peace in the fog.

Chu Ming raised his head and looked out the window. The fog passed over the streamlined ship and flowed past quickly. It was impossible to see any changes compared to a few days ago.

The difficulty of crossing the foggy area was beyond anyone's imagination. They sailed for eight days and are still wandering in the fog.

"This fog is really weird."

Sighing, Chu Ming lowered his head and looked at the formed mechanical golem in his hand. He took out the mithril plate of the logic array that was maintained in the magic-guiding liquid, wiped it dry, and installed it back into the back of the golem's head.

Then he opened the empty chamber in the middle of the demon doll's body and placed a pure spiritual crystal that shimmered with light fluorescence.

After installing the metal back cover, he laid the golem flat on the ground.

"Hopefully the repair can be successful this time."

Chu Ming activated the logic circle and stared closely at the demon doll lying quietly on the ground.

This is the fourth time he has completed the repair, but the previous three times failed to activate.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that just repairing it would be so difficult.

He also asked Roman for advice several times.

The short mechanical golem like a skinny monkey lay quietly on the ground. After a few seconds, nothing happened.

Chu Ming's face was calm. Just when he thought that the repair would end in failure again, there was a strange noise from the mechanical golem, and the crystal eyes lit up slightly with white light.

"Success?"

After a few seconds, the golem moved, supporting its body and getting up from the ground.

Because Chu Ming had maintained the power shaft, gears and other mechanical parts, cleaned up the rust and oil, and applied new lubricating oil, the golem moved smoothly, and it stood up without any pause.

The demon raised its head and looked at Chu Ming. Its eyes flickered, and it suddenly jumped its legs and waved its fists. It looked like a boxing master who was proficient in fighting, ready to attack Chu Ming at any time.

"This guy couldn't have been smashed by a boxing goblin, right?"

Chu Ming said secretly, feeling extremely comfortable.

Eight days ago, this guy was just a ball of scrap metal. He successfully repaired a ball of scrap metal with his own hands. The sense of accomplishment in this was hard to describe to others.

"It's time to tell Roman the good news, and let him teach you how to make the magic circle golem."

Chu Ming stretched out his right hand, ignored the punch of the thin monkey demon, forcibly shut it down, and put it back into the wooden box from the beginning, ready to find Roman.

But before he could leave the room, a warning announcement came from the sound wave array on the wall.

"Attention, crew members, there is a legendary battle ahead, and level three combat readiness is activated. Crew members in charge of each cabin are asked to return to the predetermined position quickly."

"During the flight, the airship may experience turbulence. For your safety and that of the cabin, please stay in the room and do not walk around in the corridor."

"..."

Chu Ming frowned as he listened to the announcement.

He quickly came to the window and looked out for a few times. Apart from the fact that the fog was flowing faster than before, he found no other abnormalities.

"In the end what happened?"

"Is it related to 'memory'?"

Chu Ming did not listen to the announcement and stayed in the room. He planned to go to the exhibition hall in front of the ship on the ninth floor to see what happened.

The door opened, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw the three Cronos rushing back to the room.

In the past few days, Chu Ming was obsessed with repairing the demon dolls and did not go out with them for activities.

After seeing Cronus and the others coming back, he was stunned for a moment and quickly asked: "What happened?"

Crono walked up to Chu Ming and said uncertainly: "I heard that a dark demonic tide appeared in the mist. It seems that someone is fighting against the demonic tide."

"It's probably not as serious as we thought."

Chu Ming thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Let's go to the exhibition hall to see the situation."

Milisa had a hesitant look on her face, "Brother Ren, didn't the announcement tell us not to leave the room?"

Chu Ming smiled and said: "The reason why passengers are not allowed to leave the room is to protect their safety."

"But the four of us are epics. Unless the magic airship is attacked, we are all safe."

"Furthermore, Crono and I have both experienced the dark demon tide and are very familiar with dark demons. Maybe we can help."

Help was just Chu Ming's words. He couldn't solve things that even the magic airship couldn't handle. His purpose was just to explore the situation in the fog.

"let's go."

Chu Ming took the three of them to the exhibition hall. When he passed by the work golem that advised passengers to return to their rooms, he informed Roman of his intention to go to the exhibition hall through the golem. The man quickly agreed, but only told them to pay attention to safety.

"Roman agreed so readily. It seems that things are not as serious as we thought."

After turning several times in the corridor, five minutes later, they finally arrived at the spacious and bright exhibition hall, lined with green potted plants.

Chu Ming looked forward, and behind a group of sofas and seats, a huge glass landscape window flashing with magic array patterns came into view.

Under the landscape window, there were many goblins standing on their toes looking out.

He continued to look forward, through the window, and saw the fog outside and the black tide surging under the fog. Along with it, there was the roaring sound of dark monsters running and roaring...

And in the turbulent darkness, a thick golden light pierced the dark fog and hit the huge black shadow deep in the fog.

"Boom!"

The shock wave stirred the fog, and the fog rushed toward the magic airship like a tide, blocking the view of the scenic window.

Chu Ming walked to the landscape window, and suddenly his mind was aroused, and he seemed to feel a familiar atmosphere.

He looked closely into the depths of the fog, and a flash of thunder appeared, tearing through the darkness.

"The secret of Yun Lei?!"

Chu Ming's eyes narrowed, as if he had seen something incredible.
