"Dinner isn't ready yet. What new ideas does Karl have?"
In the kitchen of the bastion, Nia was stirring the soup in the pot like a witch, while paying attention to what Carl was doing in the hall.
Hope and Ying on the side followed her gaze and found that Carl not only took out the props in his dimensional bag, but also directly used his characteristics to create handy tools.
"Not sure. I often can't keep up with his train of thought. I hope this won't delay dinner."
With a few cuts of his knife, Hope mixed the sliced meat with onions and garlic, and seasoned it with salt and pepper.
"Do you need me to check it out?"
The shadow who is baking the cake has already completed all his preparations and only needs to wait patiently for the oven to bake.
Seeing that the two "sisters" seemed a little curious, she took the initiative to bring it up.
After looking at each other, Hope and Nia nodded at the same time.
In the hall, Carl operated a lathe, carving runes on a piece of metal.
Shadow, a Soul Blade and Shadow Clan monk, stood silently behind him, looking at the thing in Carl's hand with a calm gaze.
Because he was too focused, Carl didn't notice Ying's arrival for a moment.
"The attached spirit can be replaced with a construct spirit. Although its intelligence is very low, it should be sufficient."
Muttering to himself, Carl picked up the metal plate that was one meter long, half a meter wide, and as thick as a palm.
Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly saw Ying out of the corner of his eye.
"Oh my god! When did you come?!"
His body trembled violently, and Carl almost lost his grip on the metal plate.
Ying was completely unaware of the fact that she had frightened Karl, and she just replied in her flat voice: "Just arrived."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Karl made up his mind to let Ying keep her current voice tonight. If there is a slight fluctuation, he will give her more pressure! 'This is not revenge for her scaring me! It's to train her endurance! Yes! That's right!'
Nodding secretly in his heart, Carl remained calm on the surface and put the metal plate on the ground aside.
Taking out a pen, he skillfully carved a magic circle for summoning spirits on the back of the metal plate, and then began to introduce to Ying what he was doing.
He guessed that Ying did not come to watch out of curiosity, so his explanation was not complicated.
"This is a toy that can create a physical illusion. The exact effect will depend on the next experiment. Stand over there and I'll show you how to do it!"
In just a few words, Carl had already drawn the magic circle for summoning.
This somewhat outrageous level of proficiency was the result of his crazily manufacturing constructs in the Fire Dwarf Fortress. Carl now even feels that he can draw magic circles with his eyes closed.
The ink made from dragon crystal dust and special plant extract emitted slight fluctuations of magical power as the magic circle took shape. Carl immediately placed his hands on the edge of the magic circle and then activated it with his own spirituality and spirit.
The special patterns in the magic circle produced an effect under the influence of magic, summoning a spirit from another dimension.
As the spirit attached to the metal plate, the magic circle outlined by Carl evaporated quickly like water stains.
After confirming that the summoning was successful, Carl turned the metal plate over and then injected magic power into the giant rune on this side.
A strange connection allowed Carl to establish a connection with the metal plate in front of him. At the same time, a ball of blue-black energy emitting starlight inside slowly materialized from above the metal plate.
The shadow behind Karl didn't say anything, but just tilted her head, which was very consistent with her own personality, as if she was thinking about what the illusion in front of her was.
Karl, who happened to see all this, blushed and quickly said:
"It's not over yet! For the sake of its own purity, I didn't give the illusion a preset image! Let me see, it probably needs some spiritual materials..."
He flipped his dimensional bag rapidly, and then a dark red broken bone and a small piece of black broken scale fell out of the dimensional bag.
This is the spoils that Carl obtained when he used the mecha to fight Smaug and the two black dragons.
This piece of garbage got stuck in the joints of the mecha while he was fighting, and Carl only discovered it when the mecha was deformed.
As a hamster lover, Carl thought this thing didn't take up much space, so he put it away.
Seeing them again at this moment, Carl suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart, "See! I knew they would be useful!"
Without any hesitation, Carl threw the two things directly into the energy that looked like the starry sky.
The energy was calm for a moment, and then suddenly rolled violently like boiling water.
It kept repeating the process of expansion and contraction, and eventually changed into an oval egg.
Just as Carl and Ying approached curiously.
The eggshell suddenly cracked.
"Tsk, it's quite ceremonial, it feels like drawing a card!"
Carl muttered something under his breath, as the scene reminded him of some not-so-friendly memories from his past life.
Although his luck has never been bad, no one can always be lucky in card-drawing mobile games.
After a fruitless attempt to draw cards, Carl turned to single-player games.
As for the character you want? There are so many great players. You can choose any character you want to play. With the next MOD, won’t the character you control be transformed directly? As he recalled the painful experience of his previous life, the crack on the egg gradually widened.
Accompanied by a weak dragon roar, a small creature with black scales but looking like a red dragon cub poked its head out of the eggshell.
Although Carl did not have the aesthetic taste of the dragon race, he always felt that the phantom of the dragon cub in front of him was very similar to Smaug.
Its dark scales are suspected to come from the black dragon beast that almost paralyzed Bane.
The broken eggshells evolved from spirits, but instead of turning into actual matter, they simply dissipated.
The young dragon, which theoretically could only slightly interfere with the material world, roared at Carl twice in a low voice, and then the broken dragon horns and scales were spat out from its mouth.
Both items seem to have lost a bit of their spirituality and now look like just plain fashion junk.
Carl didn't care and threw them back into the dimensional bag.
Reaching out his hand, Carl tried to tease the dragon spirit in front of him.
But the feeling from his palm was as if he was touching some soft dough, and it didn't feel real at all.
However, this instead allowed Cardo to rub the dragon spirit in front of him.
Suddenly, Carl remembered that the shadow behind him was still watching, so he turned around quickly and prepared to introduce the invention to her.
At this moment, Ying was looking at the little guy with an inquiring look.
"Do you like it? If you do, I'll give it to you!"
Seeing Ying showing a rare look of curiosity, Carl waved his hand and sent the newly born dragon soul out directly.
There was a hint of joy on Ying's face, but he soon regained his composure.
At this time, Hope and Nia also came out of the kitchen.
They had already finished preparing dinner, and seeing that Ying had not come back to share what Carl had done, they simply came over to take a look.
"Is this your new invention? It looks cute. What are you going to do with it?"
As druids and mages, Hope and Nia quickly realized that the essence of this little thing was a kind of spirit.
Hope walked up and touched it, then touched it a few more times like Carl.
Probably influenced by Carl, the style of the Dragon Spirit is more like that in the animation.
It has no resistance to other people's touch and accepts it all.
It’s a pity that this dragon spirit can only move around the metal plate, otherwise Hope and the others would definitely keep it as a pet.
However, they quickly thought of a solution to this problem, and their eyes quickly turned to Carl.
"Don't worry, I will try to solve this problem as quickly as possible. Let's eat first. Oh, and give me an extra portion. I'll go downstairs and give it to Master."
"It's ready. It's in the kitchen. In fact, you can ask the Moon Spirit maid to deliver it. That's what I did."
Pointing to the kitchen, Nia said skillfully.
Carl thought about it for a few seconds, but was worried that his master would miss him, so he finally took the food and went to the laboratory below by himself.
At the door of the laboratory, No. 1 was guarding the place diligently.
Seeing Carl, it wagged its tail happily, and then continued to speak in the same tone as before, like a noble butler:
"Oh! Master Carl, I'm glad to see you return safely. The master recently remodeled the laboratory. This way."
Taking Carl with him, No. 1 walked deeper into the laboratory.
This used to be a corner of Carl's arsenal, but now it has been rebuilt into a very complicated place by Moore's class.
Carl saw a lot of machines of unknown purpose, some of which looked more like weapons.
Soon, a man and a mechanical dog arrived at the core area of the laboratory.
Carl's master Mooreban was looking at a complicated rune board with a serious expression, and it seemed that he had been in this posture for a while.
He was awakened from his thoughts only when Carl and No. 1 got close to him.
"Hmm? Carl? You're back? Ah~, the combination and application of Giant Runes is really an addictive research. Two months have passed without me noticing!"
Taking the food handed to him by Carl, Mooreban began to eat it in big mouthfuls, as if he wanted to race against time to devote himself to research.
Seeing him like this, Karl didn't bother him any more. After Moore's class finished their meal, he took the tray back to the upper floor to have dinner with his girlfriends.
Lisanna ran out before making dinner, it seemed that there was still some work that had not been dealt with at the Sheriff's Department.
