“…”

Lin Mian resisted the urge to throw the bag out, took a deep breath, and continued to put the tentacles back into the bag with expressionless expression, and slowly began to wash them up.

Beautiful fingers, delicate ears, round eyes, and countless pieces with traces of the original owner...

At this moment, Lin truly felt Ulala's feelings - this was indeed a terrifying gift, containing its deepest love for himself.

The surprise is so surprising that it makes people have nothing to say.

"How is it? Lord Puji, do you like it?"

The truth is obviously impossible to tell, otherwise it is likely to trigger another tsunami.

"Thank you." Lin touched Ulala's naked head, "But you should keep such things yourself in the future. I also hope you will become... well, it's a little more terrifying."

Only God knows that Lin was sincere when he said this - as a great lord, she didn't need any cute, beautiful things - such as the boy group in her dream, although it was very pleasing to the eye, but she couldn't count on singing to bring peace and beauty to conquer the world, right? She always felt that it was not a serious route.

What she needs is a more terrifying and powerful assistant, even if she is like Mother Doom, but as long as she plays far away, there is no problem.

Thinking of this, Lin's eyes fell back to Ulala's gift.

After the slight scare at first, she could already face such a terrifying gift.

At first glance, this looks nothing more than something on the sculpture - but if you look closely, you will find that the materials of these things are really familiar: obsidian texture is covered with blood vessels, but silver patterns that are much more delicate than blood vessels. Because many of these fragments have been damaged too seriously, the fine lines inside have become starry-like, and at first glance it looks like the texture of the original material.

But Lin had seen another more complete part, more complete than all of these in front of her - the hand from the female human mage, who is still lying in her belly.

——It is a magic pattern.

"Where did you get these stones?"

Lin asked.

"Ah, it's where, next to our quagmire, the two ugly humans fought themselves, and one of them fell into the water and became this-- Lord Puji's things look so beautiful in the water and will shine."

really.

Lin Dang's confirmation of his speculation.

Combined with the time and place of appearance and Ulala's description, it is basically confirmed that this thing should be the female mage - or the female mage's puppet.

Although I don’t know what happened between those sneaky humans, I think about it and know that the fine puppets here must be very precious - at least in Lin’s impression, when she was swaying in the Mage Tower, she had never seen such precision puppets, most of whom were like stone people.

And combined with the wonderful connection between her and the devil during the last battle, Lin suddenly had a wonderful idea.

——Maybe she can try to repair the puppet and then control it as her own body.

And it is not the body of a big head, brain, clumsy pig spirit lich, but the real body that belongs to humans.

Just think about it...

"What’s wrong with you?"

The lord's hand asked.

From the beginning, this lord, who had always been weird, shook like a sieve, making the few people on the side very inexplicably.

"Ah nothing, Hal," the Lord controls his twitching body and says in an extremely solemn tone, "Time is precious, let's go back quickly. I have something very important to discuss with you."

...

"So what you call a wonderful idea is - you're going to waste precious time and put this pile of rubbish together?"

The lord's hand in the gray smoke state suddenly tightened in the air, turning into a thin piece, like a snake.

"Yes...well, is there anything wrong?"

As soon as he said that, Lin realized that he had said the wrong thing.

The Lord's Hand quickly tied the knot in half of his body, and turned from a snake into a lasso. Even if Lin was slow and trusted by Lin, he had to wonder if the other party wanted to strangle her to death.

Although the idea of ​​strangling a ball of mud to death is a bit strange.

However, Lin believed that he would say something more about this topic, and the other party would probably try to do this, so he had no choice but to shut up immediately.

"Isn't it? You ask me what's wrong!" The Lord's hand became irritable, "I used to think you are not a fool or a fool - although the candidates for slate selection are likely to be random, God knows what the way it is, but I think you can communicate well like a wisdom type! Look around us with your eyes, and then think about it with your brain that doesn't know where it is. Is it time to play your puzzle game?"

Lin looked around very honestly.

Although they had decided to use the banyan forest by the ancestor lake as a base, they had not had time to implement it yet. Although this wet and a little muddy tree hole was large, it was empty and had no plans. There were only some books brought by Hal, alchemy equipment and pots. Oh, there were a few beautiful, clean bird cages hanging under the tree dome above their heads, which should be prepared for those magic books that could fly.

When I came in from outside, I could feel that Hal had added solid magic to it, especially the hole entrance to use some magic, but the defense was still weak.

——For his energy, he also needs to take into account equipment development, synthesis of potions, and building repairs, which is obviously a bit too tiring.

Lin felt guilty.

It was agreed to add an assistant to Har, but there was no time to determine the specific plan.

When she was in the Land of Death, she had a preliminary idea and discussed with Leviathan a few words, intending to let him share some of the things at hand, such as staffing and territory construction, so that Hal could focus on technical research and development.

However, the journey was in a hurry. Before leaving just now, Leviathan said that he still needed to count the resources available to Lament the Mire with Nightmare, including some members of the Mother of Doom who had not had time to escape - hope that those monsters with beautiful faces were not all a group of empty-headed idiots. But thinking about it also makes me hopeless.

After all, if you have a good mind, you will not become a viewing pet in the harem.

So it is almost unrealistic to help with Leviathan, who has a complete mind and a nightmare that is probably only half-hearted.

Of course Ulala can't count on it.

Although the fighting ability of the fishman is limited by his own racial physical fitness and is not considered top-notch, his talent and intuition in combat are unquestionable, quite flexible and cunning - there is a big gap between the IQ you show in daily life.

And after several battles, the evolution was obvious. When Lin woke up just now, he saw the fishman who had recovered his original form, although Lin didn't say it, he could clearly feel that the fishman's body seemed to be bigger than when he was previously sealed, and it looked quite like a little muscular Goras.

Thinking about it this way, actually, a few subordinates are not too bad.

However, when faced with Hal's irritable lasso form, Lin swallowed the optimistic words back.

Although I don’t know what the lord is thinking, its quietness and obedience obviously pleased the lord’s hand.

After seeing Lin quiet for a while, Hal still relaxed the tense, threatening lasso form, dispersed a little, and turned into a tumble of fog, and his tone also eased a lot: "—I don't want to refute your decision, but you know we have a lot to do, so tell me the reason, the reason you want to do this stupid thing."

——I want to restore my human form.

This reason obviously needs to be put back first.

Lin thought about it and said slowly: "You should know-I was not actually a resident of the abyss."

Hal was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect Lin to say this, and the gray fog all over his body stopped surging for a moment.

"…When I first saw through my soul - I thought you were a human."

That chaotic, like a palette that was overturned, was obvious in the eyes of the Lich—there was never any other race with such complex colors.

"Yes, I'm indeed a human, at least I was."

"…so you want to put that thing together?"

The lich paused for a while before continuing to ask questions, and his voice eased a lot.

"I do have that kind of idea," since the other party already understood, Lin didn't need to deny it anymore, "but to be precise, this reason is not the most important."

"oh?"

"I think I should have come from that world with humans - what is your name?"

“Avalon.”

"Yes, Avalon, I think I should have come from some mage academy over there - but I can't remember it anymore, at least after I get here. Don't worry, the memories of the past are nothing to me. What matters is another thing."

Lin did not look at the lich, but stared at the cage on the tree dome next to him, and while sorting out his thoughts, he said: "Let's go back to the topic of puppets. When we met Kam in the Lich Academy, we also met a similar puppet - the thief turned into a pile of stones after he died, but I don't seem surprised to see you and Kam, so I guess that in this world, it should be normal for "humans" to use this kind of substitute puppet - but it's not enough to be ordinary or cheap for ordinary people to use." Otherwise, the young man named Kam would not be like that.

“Continue.”

"No matter what, the magic circuits in this puppet still exceed my cognition. At least in my former mage academy, I have never seen a similar magic circuit or circuit.

So I discovered something very noteworthy: that is, my memory may be biased.

Or it should be said that this world, this abyss, and the other Avalon is different from what I know.

I remember that when I was studying, the magic civilization existed, but it never developed to this level. If I had to compare it, I remember that Avalon should be roughly consistent with the abyss I am currently in - a world that is about the Middle Ages, with a bit of wilderness and mythology.

I didn't think too much at first because everything was consistent with my memory, until suddenly, such a puppet appeared. I used to have only one hand and thought it was just something like a prosthetic. Until I looked back and looked at it again, I found that it was not-the existence of this puppet exceeded my understanding and understanding.

Hal, can you understand, what this means to the mage?"

Hal was silent.

Of course he knew.

To some extent, lichs and mages have a lot of connections. In terms of their desire for knowledge, sometimes they cannot say who is more fanatical than who.

Knowledge and truth have the same power for them, both as the source of power and the spring of power.

One understands that the mage who is far behind the times cannot survive.

The same applies to territories and worlds of different planes.

"I heard a little from Phoenix when I returned to the academy - about the development of explosive civilizations, which is not too long, but I didn't care too much at that time, because Phoenix mentioned that apart from this kind of stand-in puppet, those guys from Avalon cannot use other similar complex magic equipment."

"In fact, for a long time, there have been not many humans coming down here, because as you said, it is very primitive, so it is very dangerous for these unequipped humans."

"That is, only the wizard can be used here, right?"

"I think so."
