Chapter 389 Puppets and Golems
"By the way, Junior Ryan, don't you have an intermediate combat puppet yet?" Alicia suddenly blinked her beautiful eyes, as if she thought of something.
"Well, it seems that I only have an iron combat puppet now." Ryan thought about it and nodded.
In the past few days, Ryan has been mostly in the school library. He still knows the difference between primary combat puppets and intermediate combat puppets.
In addition to being larger and heavier, the intermediate combat puppet has an additional more important thing compared to the primary combat puppet - a small energy device.
With this thing, the intermediate combat puppet can suddenly release an attack similar to the power of the middle and high mysteries in battle under the control of the wizard.
"No wonder Junior Ryan was so hesitant just now, it turns out that there is no intermediate combat puppet yet." Alicia couldn't help laughing.
"Audrey, Joseph, let's help together and help Junior Ryan get an intermediate combat puppet first." Alicia turned to the two people beside her and said.
Joseph seemed to be in a dilemma, as if he wanted to refuse, but Audrey agreed immediately, saying,
"Of course, this is what we seniors should do."
For Audrey, who vaguely knew Ryan's true identity, she was willing to give her intermediate combat puppet to Ryan, not to mention helping to make it.
But the question is, is the intermediate combat puppet really useful to this Lord Ryan? Audrey couldn't help but glance at Ryan.
Seeing Alicia speak, Audrey immediately expressed her agreement. Joseph couldn't help but nod reluctantly, but still muttered, 'When I came here, I didn't get such a good treatment'
"By the way, Junior Ryan, which intermediate combat puppet do you plan to choose?" Alicia asked enthusiastically.
When Ryan was about to refuse, Joseph suddenly looked happy, as if he had thought of something, and suggested:
"Why not choose the Fury Hammer Combat Puppet? It can perform the special attack 'Fury Hammer Smash', which is very powerful. Besides, we made so many of them some time ago, and now we have two finished products in the warehouse. We can just add a small energy device."
Obviously, Joseph wanted to be lazy.
Alicia rolled her eyes at Joseph and said, "Bah! What kind of suggestion is that, Joseph!"
"Brother Ryan should only be able to control one intermediate combat puppet now. Although the attack power of the furious hammer combat puppet is good, its defense power is relatively weak. It is not suitable for a newcomer like Brother Ryan."
"Ryan, listen to your sister. When you can control two intermediate combat puppets, consider choosing the furious hammer combat puppet. Otherwise, choose the sword and shield puppet guard. The attack and defense capabilities are relatively balanced and there are no shortcomings."
Joseph was confronted by Alicia and did not dare to refute. He lowered his head and muttered:
"Ryan should be a knight from his physique. He should be fast in moving and dodging. He may be able to win by surprise by directly controlling the furious hammer combat puppet."
"Let's use the furious hammer combat puppet." Ryan thought for a while and said.
Since there is a ready-made one, it is naturally the best, because for him, it doesn't matter how to choose an intermediate combat puppet.
In addition, he had been making this furious hammer battle puppet these days, so he was quite familiar with it.
Soon, the four of them arrived at the warehouse of the metal department.
There were many semi-finished battle puppets placed in a mess inside, and of course, there were more parts.
Since the furious hammer battle puppet was just completed a few days ago, it was placed not far from the warehouse door.
The furious hammer battle puppet was about three meters tall. Although it was less than one meter taller than the iron battle puppet that was just over two meters tall, the sense of oppression was completely different. You
should know that although Xiao Si was short in his previous life, the height difference between him and Dayao was not even one meter.
But when playing basketball, facing Xiao Si and facing Dayao, there were completely different feelings of oppression.
"Brother Ryan, I just happen to have an extra small energy device here, you can use it first." Audrey took out a rectangular object the size of a brick, but much thinner, and handed it to Ryan.
"Just insert it into the slot on the back of the puppet."
The energy device mainly contained a crystal stone, which was bred in the elemental energy pool in the school's residence.
Of course, there is another higher quality source of crystals, that is, when the elemental creatures reach extraordinary strength, they will breed this crystal in their bodies.
Moreover, the stronger the elemental creatures are, the stronger the energy contained in the crystals will naturally be. At the same time, the crystals bred by elemental creatures with different attributes have different attributes.
Although the latter has better effects, and even high-level crystals are extremely powerful, the price also increases exponentially.
"Well, thank you!" Ryan thought about it and took the small energy device handed to him by Audrey.
"You're polite, junior." Audrey lowered her eyes, but she was quite excited in her heart, because she seemed to find that the famous "junior" in front of her didn't seem so difficult to get along with.
"Huh? Audrey, small energy devices are not cheap. You get 100 contribution points to exchange one! Why are you so generous this time?" Joseph couldn't help but look at the other party in confusion.
"Well, Ryan is a junior, and I, as a senior, should naturally show some appreciation." Audrey blushed and said.
Audrey's expression was seen by Alicia, who was standing by. It was meaningful.
Alicia glanced at the two of them with her beautiful eyes, thinking, "It seems that this young and beautiful junior of mine likes the new junior Ryan."
"But I may not let you do it, right?"
After Ryan inserted the small energy device into the horizontal slot on the back of the puppet, he began to perform the activation spell.
"Activation spell!" Ryan deliberately controlled the speed of the lv4 activation spell.
As he chanted the spell and pointed his finger, the tall furious hammer battle puppet moved slightly, but because Ryan did not give a specific order, the puppet remained in place.
However, what surprised Ryan was that if the activation spell used on the metal dummy before consumed one unit of mental power, then this intermediate combat puppet suddenly consumed about ten units.
You know, the mental power consumption of the previous primary combat puppet, the Iron Combat Puppet, was only about three units.
"No wonder there is a sentence in the notes of the Activation Spell - 'The casting time and mental power consumption depend on the complexity and size of the object.'"
"It seems that for a wizard at the first level of atomization, even in the later stage, the number of intermediate combat puppets that can be controlled at the same time should not be too many. Three or four should be the limit." Ryan thought to himself.
In addition, Ryan also found that the connection between his spiritual sea and the Wrath Hammer Combat Puppet was more complicated than the previous primary puppet.
It was like there was an extra game controller in his mind. There was only one button before, but now, in addition to the big button of the Wrath Hammer Combat Puppet, Ryan could also feel a small button next to the big button.
Ryan knew that this small button should be connected to the small energy device on the puppet, which could be used to release skills and attack.
At this time, the system prompt suddenly sounded:
[You have completed the complete production and learning of the Wrath Hammer Combat Puppet, and the relevant comprehension has been improved! 】
【You have learned a new skill - Wrath Hammer Battle Puppet】
【Your skill Wrath Hammer Battle Puppet has been improved, experience value +3】
Ryan was slightly stunned at first, but he understood it after thinking about it.
In the past few days, he has been making the Wrath Hammer Battle Puppet. Today, he is equivalent to putting the last piece of the puzzle together for this production, and naturally he has mastered the relevant skills.
"Brother Ryan, you are very skilled in the activation technique. Now that everything is done, let's go to the training room." Alicia praised Ryan and said.
When passing through the corridor, Audrey, Alicia and the other three returned to the office and moved their intermediate battle puppets out.
Alicia was the strongest and controlled two intermediate battle puppets, namely the Sword and Shield Puppet Guard and the Heavy Sword Battle Puppet.
The Heavy Sword Battle Puppet is the same as the Wrath Hammer Battle Puppet. They are both offensive battle puppets, while the Sword and Shield Puppet Guard is a defensive puppet as the name suggests.
Audrey and Joseph were almost the same, each with a sword and shield puppet guard, plus an iron combat puppet with a shield.
Of course, Ryan could do the same as Audrey, and even control more puppets.
But he was currently wearing the "cloak of concealment", and the strength he showed to the outside world was that of an early first-level wizard, and controlling a mid-level combat puppet was almost the upper limit.
"Dongdongdong!"
Several combat puppets were controlled by everyone and came to the empty training hall.
"Brother Ryan, let's go first~" Alicia said with a smile.
"Well, how about letting Ryan and I go first?" At this time, Joseph on the side suddenly interrupted.
He thought so. Alicia's strength was obviously the highest, and Audrey's strength had gradually surpassed him since some time ago.
If Alicia and Ryan competed, then he would only have to compete with Audrey, but the feeling of losing was always not so good, especially losing to a latecomer.
But only the newcomer Ryan, Joseph thought to himself, he should still be able to win.
"That's good." Alicia thought about it and felt that it was good to let Joseph go first.
After all, Joseph's strength was the weakest among the three, so that the newcomer Ryan would not feel that the gap between him and others was too big, or even discouraged.
As Ryan and Joseph controlled their respective puppets and stood in the center of the venue, Joseph smiled and said, "Ryan, let's start. If it doesn't work, you can admit defeat immediately."
Hearing Joseph's words, Audrey on the side couldn't help but roll her eyes speechlessly.
Although she didn't know how Ryan would win, she knew that Ryan would definitely not lose!
"Okay." Ryan smiled and nodded.
"Dongdongdong!"
As Joseph's mind moved slightly, he saw the sword and shield puppet guard holding a sword and shield, and rushed towards Ryan head-on.
At the same time, the iron combat puppet beside him made an arc and attacked Ryan's side and back.
Of course, due to the detour, this iron battle puppet will not attack Ryan soon, but Joseph's opening double-line control directly exposed his intention.
This is to take advantage of Ryan's weakness of only one battle puppet, and intend to attack Ryan from the front and back.
"Joseph is really a sly guy. Isn't this obviously taking advantage of Ryan's junior brother!" Alicia saw this scene and naturally understood Joseph's plan instantly.
Faced with this situation, Ryan thought for a moment and controlled the furious hammer battle puppet, rushing towards Joseph's sword and shield puppet head-on. At the same time, the puppet controlled the heavy hammer with both hands, looking ready to swing.
"Huh? This is not a good response. Once the only puppet is entangled, it will be quite passive." Alicia shook her head and sighed.
"It's a pity that Ryan's junior brother is going to lose. As the controller, we must give priority to protecting ourselves when there is only one battle puppet."
She saw that although Ryan was amazingly talented, he was really a pure "newbie" in puppet control!
But Audrey said nothing, her beautiful eyes fixed on the center of the venue.
"Dang!"
Facing the heavy hammer blow of the furious hammer battle puppet, Joseph controlled the sword and shield puppet to quickly raise the shield to block.
Blocked! Joseph's face was delighted. Just when he was about to let the sword and shield puppet entangle the opponent, he suddenly found that his sword and shield puppet was actually knocked back several steps by the hammer.
Hmm? Is this the skill of the furious hammer battle puppet, the furious hammer heavy blow, activated?
It shouldn't be.
I didn't even feel the opponent's energy fluctuation.
Joseph thought quickly.
This is actually because Ryan's activation level is high, plus his own mastery of close combat skills, so he can control the furious hammer battle puppet and exert excellent combat power.
Simply put, ordinary wizards can only exert about 60% to 70% of the combat power of an intermediate combat puppet, but Ryan can exert more than 90% of the combat power.
This is like in the previous life, only Takumi drove the AE86 to almost exert the full performance of this car. Other racing drivers basically can't do this.
This scene naturally made the two women stunned.
"It seems that fellow student Ryan is very proficient in close combat, otherwise, he would not have been able to grasp the opportunity so well." Alicia frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said.
"Well, it should be." Audrey answered perfunctorily.
At this time, Joseph came back to his senses, and he was obviously not very accepting of this result.
Seeing that the furious hammer battle puppet controlled by Ryan took this opportunity to rush towards him quickly, Joseph immediately decided to use the special skills of the sword and shield puppet.
"Sprint!"
As the fluctuations of the small energy device flashed, the three-meter-tall sword and shield puppet took rapid steps and chased after the furious hammer battle puppet.
Seeing this scene, Joseph's confidence returned.
Because if the sword and shield puppet can catch up and entangle the opponent, then the victory will still belong to him.
The iron battle puppet he arranged before has rushed to a position less than 20 meters behind Ryan.
At this time, Ryan smiled slightly, and then ordered the furious hammer battle puppet to activate the skill.
"Strike with the furious hammer!"
The three-meter-tall combat puppet wielded the huge two-handed warhammer in its hand, and suddenly exerted force to accelerate. A black arc flashed by!
"Boom!"
Immediately, a deafening sound of metal clashing sounded!
The sword and shield puppet that had just sprinted from behind and caught up, although it tried its best to raise its shield to block, was still hit by the furious hammer and flew out, falling heavily seven or eight meters away.
"Fuck!"
Before Joseph could control the sword and shield puppet to stand up again, the furious hammer combat puppet had already rushed to several meters in front of him, and at this time, his iron combat puppet was still seven or eight meters away from Ryan.
"Brother Ryan, I give up!" Joseph's face turned pale and he shouted immediately.
Facing the blow of the furious hammer combat puppet just now, Joseph had no intention of trying it again.
"Huh? Don't fight anymore?" Ryan was slightly surprised.
According to his understanding, even if the puppets get close, the wizard still has many ways to deal with them, and the battle is far from over. For example, the battle can continue with the use of innate magic or magic that restricts movement.
"Brother Ryan, generally speaking, if you let an intermediate combat puppet get close, you basically lose." At this time, a fragrant breeze approached, and Alicia slowly walked to Ryan's side and explained.
Is it a routine?
This is not enough for actual combat.
"Tsk tsk, brother Ryan, I didn't expect your puppet control ability to be so strong? Come, let me try you this time." Alicia said with a charming smile.
After a fierce battle.
In order to avoid being too prominent, Ryan reluctantly "lost", but the intense battle process still shocked Alicia.
She didn't expect that two puppets fighting one would almost fail.
"Brother Ryan, if you wait until you enter the middle stage of the first-level wizard, I will definitely not be your opponent."
"By the way, Audrey, don't you want to compete with brother Ryan?"
"Me? Forget it." Audrey shook her head immediately after hearing this.
After a few more days, Ryan became more and more proficient in controlling the furious hammer battle puppet to fight, and his understanding of puppet fighting became more and more profound.
In fact, the combat power of the intermediate battle puppet is roughly equivalent to that of the peak knight who has mastered the primary secret. Of course, it will be better in strength and defense, but slightly less flexible.
In this regard, Ryan can easily defeat it even if he does not transform.
He has not encountered the advanced battle puppet yet, but he thinks it should be the same.
In other words, unless he makes a war golem, it does not make much sense for his combat power improvement.
However, there is more basic knowledge about puppets in the library, but there is much less knowledge about war golems.
However, when talking about golems, Ryan couldn't help but think of the replica giant axe golem guard he defeated in Wales County.
As a captive, Olena had given him a copy of the relevant production drawings that were later discovered.
Ryan still remembered that his mentor Mogaro, as well as the puppet masters of the clay and rock departments in the school, all came to Munster and studied the structure of the giant axe golem guard for a while.
In Mogaro's office.
Ryan asked his mentor Mogaro about some information about the giant axe golem.
"Oh, you mean the replica giant axe golem guard."
Mogaro certainly had an impression of this. He thought for a while and said:
"How should I put it? Although the opponent imitated the giant axe golem according to the drawings, we evaluated it and also referred to the records in ancient books. The combat effectiveness of this replica giant axe golem should be only about 60% of the original."
"Sixty percent?" Ryan asked in confusion.
"Well, to put it simply, the power core of the replica, no, to be more precise, the energy device, is too different from the original."
"Power core?"
"Yes, the other party uses a large energy device instead of the Hellfire Crystal to drive it, but in this case, the witchcraft attack of the Giant Axe Golem cannot be activated."
"In addition, the difference in power between the two also forced the creators of the cult to reduce the design of its shell."
"Otherwise, according to the records in ancient books, the Giant Axe Golem guards in the ancient Black Flame Temple are eight meters tall, far from the five-meter height of the replica."
"I see." Ryan nodded.
Just as Ryan was about to leave, Mogaro suddenly stopped him and said, "By the way, Ryan, you..."
But soon, Mogaro waved his hand and said, "I'm old and my memory is not very good."
Ryan looked at Mogaro, and vaguely guessed, "Teacher, if there is anything difficult, you can tell me directly."
"Yes, I will. Thank you!"
That night, Ryan's new mansion.
Female Major General Tatia visited again in secret.
"Sir Ryan, you can arrange your itinerary freely, including leaving the imperial capital. However, the headquarters is currently clearing out some internal ghosts, so it is not recommended that you accept the tasks in the headquarters. Once you accept them, you may be exposed."
"Of course, this process will not last too long. The clearing work should be completed in about half a month to twenty days." Tatia said.
"Oh? Is it because of the last incident that exposed it?" Ryan raised his eyebrows, and several figures flashed through his mind in an instant.
Tatia nodded and smiled,
"Yes, some of them will be reassigned even though there is no direct evidence to be submitted to the military court. In fact, I have to thank you for bringing out many of them this time."
The next evening.
In the metal training room of the Bixiu Construction School.
Ryan, Audrey and the other four exchanged their experiences in puppet control again.
"However, your tactics just now are still a bit too radical. The most important thing for us to control puppets to fight is not to let the enemy get close."
"If you only have one combat puppet, it is best to choose a sword and shield puppet guard, which can protect your safety and has good attack power."
Looking at Alicia's serious expression, Ryan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
Although Ryan did not agree with this, he did not refute it.
Because he could feel that when Alicia said this, she was speaking from the perspective of a senior sister and was really doing it for his own good.
"Oh no!"
At this time, a male wizard apprentice of the Metal Department suddenly ran in in panic and said,
"Lady Alicia, everyone, oh no, I just received news that Lord Trevor who is stationed in the Rage Canyon has an accident!"
The writer's assistant automatically released a bug, and I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!
