‘I want to recruit mages.’ Xia En revealed his thoughts a little bit, but was ridiculed by Sylvanas, ‘Only strange guys will come to a small rural place like Hongyang White Tower.’

"Hawkins-Flaming Eagle likes to have fun, but there is a bottom line. Solanlian only knows how to immerse herself in study. Halduron-Brightwing seems to be an opportunist, but his actions and ethics are trustworthy, and you are not like most elves.

Out of place.”

It didn't take long for Sylvanas to figure out the personalities of the team members. "Should I praise a job well done?" Xia En complained. She didn't know where she saw that the smugglers had good ethics, but he also agreed.

It is impossible to attract the hedonistic guys from Silvermoon City. There is still a chance to attract talents from other rural areas. Sylvanas gave him the idea to increase his reputation.

"Making magic jewelry is also a way to increase your reputation. Have you thought of it a long time ago?" Xia En said to the female elf, looking at her expression carefully.

Sylvanas sat on the chair, with her thighs raised high, smiling and not answering.

The second phase of magic items has been well received by customers. The magic combination design is considerate and not difficult to use. The third phase is already being looked forward to. However, we had to stop due to the mission of the council and once again felt that we were outnumbered.

"We can announce to the public that Hongyang White Tower's works will be released every three months." Sylvanas noted to Shane. "But if you want to increase your reputation among the elves, there is nothing better than dealing with trolls.

good."

The implication is that this mission is the best opportunity.

"But I guess you don't have a chance. You'd better go see your rangers." The female elf smiled narrowly, an expression that only appeared when someone was unlucky.

The sixty rangers of Halduron-Mingwing do not have patrol duties. They train in the open space outside the sentry post every day. Everyone is looking forward to this mission. This team of rangers was assigned by the Council to Shaen's command. Halduron-Ming

Wing is the commander. He saw Xia En appearing outside the training ground and went to say hello.

"Everyone cheer up, Your Excellency Xia En is here." Halduron-Mingyi shouted into the training ground. The mages who own the mage tower belong to the upper ruling class. Xia En appeared and calmed many people, training even harder

.

They are no different from ordinary rangers. Their basic training is riding and bow and arrow. Their tactics are to ride chocobos to quickly raid, forming a team to scrape back and forth from the outside of the enemy, wearing down the enemy, and then looking for opportunities to charge.

"How does it compare to Sylvanas' men?"

"Your Excellency Xia En, I must explain that this is a sad question." Halduron Mingyi made a helpless expression, knowing the answer without explaining it.

Obviously, in terms of ranger skills, they cannot catch up with the elites of Windrunner, so they have to find another way to increase their combat effectiveness. The fastest way is to change the way they fight.

Xia En's method is to cooperate with the puppets to fight together.

Returning to the mage tower, he drew a modification diagram on the blueprint. Each guard puppet was equipped with a manned device on its back. It could stand three rangers and carry combat supplies for ten people.

"Eye of Truth, will the changes affect the center of gravity balance?" Xia En asked.

"The balance is not affected, but the transmission and damping need to be modified."

Xia En also designed a shock-absorbing device on the transmission. The modifications are relatively simple, and it is not a big job to modify ten puppets. With the enhanced modification of puppet Tiger, it takes much less time than making one puppet.

In the last battle, Taigo Xiaopo was exposed in the fierce spell battle, and its performance was far from enough. The change plan has been brewing in my heart, and the council mission just took the opportunity to make a request.

When the high-level puppet core took it out of the sealed box, it showed an extraordinary appearance. It was made into the shape of a crystal ball, and the surrounding air was distorted by the heat. It looked like a mirage, but it really existed.

"Inspect it with the Eye of Truth" commanded Shane

"Understood, the exploration begins, the target surface temperature is 170 degrees, the reason: energy escapes outward in the form of thermal energy. Exploring the internal structure, multi-crystal structure, and unnatural substances. It is judged that it was generated under the high-energy radiation of the sun well. The estimated output is Puppet Tiger

Quad core four times.”

These are the necessary parts for the modification of Puppet Tiger.

When Shane was constructing the mage tower, he installed an armor forging device in the puppet workshop and ordered Tago to teleport from the teleportation array to the second underground floor, remove its chest armor plate, and reveal the five cores inside, including the intelligent core.

"Full stop, enter sleep state"

Puppet Tiger's one eye flashed three times, and the buzzing sound when the core was operating immediately disappeared. The arcane circuits on the bones gradually returned to silvery white due to the lack of energy supply. The joints of the whole body relaxed and knelt down, falling into a shutdown state.

It is not very troublesome to replace the four power cores. The original base is slightly changed and the high-energy core is installed.

"The core surface temperature drops, the escape phenomenon weakens, and energy is transferred to the arcane circuit. It is estimated that the core temperature will drop to 30 degrees in twenty minutes." Eye of Truth monitoring report.

With the power upgrade, the original weapon system is no longer applicable. Shane has an energy storage crystal on hand, which he got from the last raid on the trolls in the valley. He took it out of the magic pocket, and the magic inside basically disappeared due to lack of maintenance. Shane held it in his hand.

, a three-ring spell will be engraved in it: scorching ray.

Arcane energy burst out in his hands, and he poured crystals to clear away the remnants of the magic. Xia En concentrated on carving out spells. He had experience carving five solid magic crystals in the mage tower, and he finished the carving without spending much energy. Then he replaced the original ones with magic storage crystals.

A device whose one-eyed part can only emit light.

The last step is to add a new behavior mode to the energy core and apply anti-magic coating.

After everything was completed, Xia En used the arcane ball to lightly hit the energy-gathering array, and the puppet was activated again. The arcane circuit instantly turned white, and "Bang Dang~~" the puppet Tago stood, and there was a metal collision sound between the armors, with one eye facing each other.

Shane flashed.

"Tago, use ray attack." Shane pointed to the floor.

The one eye flashed, and the rays shot out silently, making a sizzling sound when it burned on the floor. The head turned slightly, leaving scorch marks on the ground. The depth of exploration was 20MM, and the width was 10MM. Apart from the 'sound effects', there was no 'bui' as expected from laser shooting~

~bui~~' sound, the rest are very good. However, more tests need to be completed outdoors to see if it works well before we can draw a conclusion.

"Tago will cooperate with you in training first, and ten puppets will join later." Xia En handed the puppet Tago to Halduron-Mingyi along with the training outline. "Secondary permissions have been added to the intelligent behavior, so you can use it with confidence.

.”

The rangers were startled by the big man Tiger, but they were quickly attracted by the training outline. They made bold changes and didn't know how effective they would be, but they would definitely not be bad.

Ten puppets were handed over to the Ranger team one by one, and their training was somewhat similar. They relied on the puppet armor to directly attack, and the back and sides were covered by the rangers riding on the chocobo. The main attack method was still bows and arrows, but another method

It feels different, the rangers talk about it like a 'pure man'.

Shane walked to the training ground and saw Tiger shooting several wooden rakes with rays, and the high temperature cut them all off.

"Big man, do it again, target and shoot that shield."

The rangers were resting, and they looked a lot darker. Halduron Brightwing handed over the data to Shane. The maximum ray armor penetration was 50mm/shot, and it ignited wooden objects at about 110M, with a high hit rate.

It's not bad at this stage, Xia En put away the data.

"What do you feel is lacking in actual training?"

"Sir, I think the ranger riding the puppet needs to replace his heavy scale armor and long-stepping bow. The puppet also needs to be equipped with a siege ram to attack the troll camp, just like Tiger."
