In terms of the difficulty of engraving alone, ordinary runes are like drawing a tree on a canvas. After drawing the trunk and branches, the shape can be formed. To draw runes, you need to draw each leaf on the same canvas.
The meridians are clearly drawn. Moreover, in many cases, coherent and complicated drawing techniques are required. A slight pause or error will cause the entire rune to be redone.
The difficulty can be imagined.
Su Lun has tried before. Even with the blessing of multi-tasking ability, his success rate in drawing a complete fourth-level spiritual rune will not exceed 20%.
This is considered the normal success rate of ordinary rune masters.
Of course, if he is willing to spend several months carefully crafting, the success rate will be high.
But now he doesn't have that time.
The abnormal mental power may explode at any time, turning him into a complete madman.
The mask must come out as soon as possible.
Su Lun could only try to use the eight-armed spider spear to carve out the runes he needed in a short time.
I was mentally prepared to suffer many failures, but at this moment, it turned out to be unexpectedly smooth.
The essence of "multitasking" is that Su Lun is still one person, controlling multiple tools at the same time for carving. But no matter what, it is all distractions, and it is impossible to focus all his attention on one place.
But now, after advancing to the third level, Su Lun has mastered a new ability to multi-task.
He had discovered during the previous battle that this ability made him control the puppet very smoothly.
But it's also expected.
Because this is also the most important reason why he chose this route to advance.
This is an ability that is very compatible with the Puppet Master.
Su Lun thought it was just an increase in combat, but now, he felt the other effects of this ability!
The control of each spider spear over the carving knife has reached an extremely delicate level. The eight spider spears plus both hands are like ten Sulluns concentrating on carving, and every line becomes precise and smooth.
The advanced engraving skills that Su Lun found difficult to master before are now at his fingertips...
It's as if the brain suddenly masters those unfamiliar skills.
Su Lun discovered this and guessed what it was, and was delighted: "This 'multitasking' takes advantage of the extremely high degree of brain development?"
He has also seen the introduction of related extraordinary abilities before. The ordinary "multitasking" ability simply increases the "number" of thinking that can be used.
Instead of directly improving comprehension and learning abilities and improving "quality" like it is now.
Su Lun knew that his situation was different from what was recorded in the classics.
The only explanation is that he has now reached a super high brain development of 16%!
For example, Su Lun's previous brain development was like installing a racing engine on an AE86. Although it was faster, the car condition could not fully utilize the engine. But now, the ability to multi-task is
The four wheels of the broken car were replaced with racing tires, and the brakes, shock absorbers, and instrument panel were all upgraded. The effects came into play immediately!
The final result is not superposition or doubling, but geometric doubling.
This advancement really gave him a big surprise.
Su Lun's thoughts were still racing in his mind, but they did not affect the rune carving work in his hands at all.
Even after I figured this out, I no longer had any worries in my mind, and the Eight-Armed Spider Spear was carved faster.
I could only hear the "pricking, pricking" sound of metal cutting ringing in my ears. The rune grooves on the metal mask were engraved in large areas. Then the rune crystals were inlaid, the rune pigments were applied, and the runes were thrown into the alchemy array.
tempering,coating
In less than half an hour, a finished fourth-level alchemy item appeared in front of me.
After appraisal, it turned out to be "rough silver quality"
"It's done?"
Su Lun looked at the finished product in his hands and felt a little unbelievable.
I put it on my face and tried it, and a cool feeling hit my forehead instantly. For a moment, the restless mental energy in my heart seemed to be soothed. What was overflowing was also absorbed into the mask.
“It’s really done”
The effect was better than expected, and Su Lun could only believe that he had refined a fourth-level alchemical equipment in such a short period of time.
If we find better materials in the future, we may not be able to forge a highly effective cursed object like the previous [Three-color Mask of the Life-Tampering Master]!
"This advancement has really brought me unexpected joy."
Su Lun's eyes sparkled.
But he felt that something was missing from this metal mask with silver-white runes overflowing, so he took it off again.
He thought of something, and mixed the colored enchanted paint, and painted the mask with a white background, diamond-shaped black eye shadow, funny tadpole red eyebrows, and a scarlet smile that split most of the face!
This is a "clown mask".
As if he felt the slight resonance of the mask, a sickly grin flashed across Su Lun's eyes.
Put on the mask and your eyesight becomes clear again.
He felt that with this mask, he would most likely be able to last for a long time.
But we still have to find a way to completely solve this problem.
To solve the problem, you must first get back the mirror organization's communication ring.
Su Lun thought of this and murmured to himself: "Bonn, the leader of the 'Red Shark Pirates', is a veteran fourth-level professional. It doesn't seem that easy to go to him to get something back."
The fourth level is the watershed for professionals. This level belongs to the category of high-level professionals in the ground world.
To advance to the fourth level, you must understand the elemental barrier, which means that the defense will be greatly enhanced. It is very difficult to kill with methods below the third level. Moreover, the fourth level body's tolerance to reproductive equipment will increase dramatically, which usually means
He has a very powerful alchemy plant.
He carefully considered the information he had just harvested. The "Poison Frog" Bonn Fritz, who had a bounty of 72 million liso, had strong offensive and defensive skills, and he also had several killer skills.
As for Su Lun, who killed a whole group of people, there is a high probability that they will not be able to reach an agreement.
In the end, you have to rely on your fists.
He himself has just advanced to the third level, and he is somewhat sure of self-protection, but his attack methods are a little lacking. Whether it is puppets or spells, many attack methods have not kept up.
Think about it, the only way to kill that guy with real confidence is the black sickle and the mechanical warrior?
"Huh"
Su Lun suddenly thought of something. He pinched the warlock's seal, the storage space appeared, and a tall combat mecha landed on the deck.
This is naturally the [Grand Colonel-level ship-killing IX-shaped mechanical battle armor].
Looking at the tightly fitted heavy armor, Su Lun's pupils narrowed slightly, and his thoughts suddenly became more active. He had carefully studied the overall structure of the mecha before, and with the information about the stripped residual soul, he also had some ideas for disassembly.
.
But at this moment, when he looked at this armor again, he felt completely different.
It was as if he encountered a difficult problem and suddenly had an "idea for solving the problem"!
Su Lun slowly closed his eyes. In his mind, it was as if the various parts of the armor in front of him were automatically disassembled.
The "click-click-click" mechanical parts echoed in my ears.
Then "bang", "bang", "bang"
Time and time again, it exploded and self-destructed due to incorrect disassembly methods.
Reorganization
Disassembly
explode
Reorganize
At this moment, Su Lun's thoughts were running at high speed.
If one solution doesn't work, then try the next one.
After countless attempts, Su Lun finally found a reasonable possibility.
He opened his eyes suddenly and suddenly realized: "By the way, you must remove the three parts of the armor at the same time to avoid triggering the self-destruction device!"
Su Lun suddenly figured out that the disassembly method of this mecha was a bit like the "Kong Ming Lock" in Su Lun's previous life. It required finding a specific one, or multiple parts to be disassembled at the same time.
Su Lun deduced the correct way to disassemble the mecha in his mind and started to do it immediately.
His spider spear controlled the two armored shoulder pads on the armor's shoulders, and then forcefully broke off a small part on the mechanical spine. Suddenly, a "click" was heard from the metal mechanism.
Su Lun's face was filled with joy. It did not trigger a self-destruction. He actually easily removed the shoulder armor, revealing various precision mechanical parts inside.
Once the first part is disassembled, the rest becomes much easier.
The body was necrotic and was thrown directly into the sea.
Soon, thousands of parts, large and small, were disassembled.
They were suspended in the air by silk threads, completely exposed to Su Lun's eyes.
"The Marfa Empire's mechanical armor technology is truly amazing."
Su Lun squinted at the parts in front of him, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty.
It was also his first time to see such complex mechanical armor.
Every important component has a model mark, [MF11 individual steam boiler], [Haig Type II explosion-proof air hammer], [Magic High Frequency Vibrator], [Beo S-11 Energy Core], [T-shaped
Alloy power shaft], [Hunter Dragon V micro missile launcher]
These are top-notch technologies that cannot be seen anywhere else except the Marfa military.
Su Lun looked at every component with burning eyes.
This is the core technology of the Marfa Empire.
A truly priceless treasure.
Without blueprints, it would be almost impossible to create such a sophisticated and complex mechanical armor.
Su Lun didn't think he could replicate this kind of armor in a short time.
These technologies will take him a lot of time to analyze in the future.
But his mind was running fast, he tried it again, and figured out how to use those mechanical devices in a short time.
After controlling it with silk thread, the machine started to move.
The reason why Su Lun is obsessed with mechanical puppets is because he is a time traveler and has seen the power of machinery.
Another point is that mechanical puppets can make up for many shortcomings of traditional puppets.
Such as strength, defense
Assuming that Su Lun controls the puppet to slash with a power of 100, then after the steam boiler is charged, it may reach 1W.
The two are no longer on the same scale.
If you want to make a traditional puppet with a power of 1W, the requirements for runes and materials will be very high, and the cost will be countless times that of a steam machine.
This is a qualitative difference!
Moreover, there is another very important point why Su Lun planned to integrate [Spiritual Tentacles] into the third-level colonial equipment.
That’s controllability!
The Marfa officer armor in front of me is controlled by humans.
But if Su Lun stuffs a living corpse, the same effect can be achieved.
Because this kind of mecha is a purely physical operating system, he now uses silk threads to control this mechanical puppet, which requires the cooperation of countless silk threads.
It takes a lot of effort, even if you multitask, you can't control more than one thing at the same time.
The whole process will be: Su Lun's brain → Silk conduction force → Control the limbs of the living corpse → Control the mechanical switch.
The [Spiritual Tentacle] needs to use a silk thread to control the living corpse and conduct nerve signals to complete complex control instructions.
The process will be simplified to: Su Lun's brain → control machine!
In this way, the control efficiency and the number of controllables will increase dramatically!
"No! When the technology matures, there may even be no need for complete living corpses! If there is neuromechanical technology like the 'Super Mechanical Warrior' project, and a nervous system can be directly installed, these mechanical armors can be controlled!"
Su Lun thought of something and his thoughts became more active.
He has some neuromechanical knowledge in his mind, but it is incomplete and incomplete.
even!
Not just limited to humans, but anything with a nervous system.
For example, a "mechanical spider" that can control eight arms;
"Mechanical millipedes" that can control thousands of legs;
Any creature with a nervous system is theoretically a candidate for becoming a mechanical puppet's nervous system.
They can meet various functional requirements and cooperate in combat.
Once this kind of mechanical puppet army is created, Su Lun's puppet army will definitely be an invincible army.
This is the path he planned for his future after learning about this fantasy world, the path of a mechanical puppet warlock.
And Su Lun knew very well that the upper limit of mechanical technology was endless.
Although Marfa's mechanical technology is still far from being in the top field at present, it may not be possible to develop god-level mechanical puppets in the future!
"Hey, now that Archduke Raphael has mastered neuromechanical technology, could it be that he has created such an army of mechanical monsters?"
This thought suddenly flashed through Su Lun's mind.
He thought of the previous super battleship. Since Raphael could secretly develop this kind of battleship, other black technologies might also be available.
Su Lun didn't have any worries, and even had some expectations.
The kind of big lord who can mobilize a large number of social resources is the main force in the development of social sciences.
Although Su Lun's research and development ability is not that strong, his harvesting ability is still quite strong.
If there is mature technology, it may save a lot of time in his "planning".
However, planning is planning, and Su Lun still has many problems to solve.
First, let yourself not die.
We still need to find the "Poison Frog" Bonn to retrieve the communicator first, and then get the third-level reproductive equipment.
Su Lun's current terrifying learning ability allowed him to skillfully control this mecha after trying it for a while.
The mecha holds a high-frequency trembling ship-cutting knife in its hand, swinging it like a tiger and making wind.
Under absolute power, any "element barrier" is just paper.
What's more, this ship-cutting sword also has the black technology of high-frequency tremors.
You can kill steel ships, but you can’t kill people?
"It's a pity that these specially made micro-missiles, alchemy bombs, etc. are all consumables and are gone after they are used. It would be great if we could get some high-precision mechanical forging equipment and instruments, so that we can also make some replacements according to the caliber.
"
Su Lun looked at the coastline at the end of his field of vision, controlled the sail, and began to sail towards the port.
"Blizzard City" was originally a gathering point for adventurers from the Luying Empire on the far north ice sheet.
Later, as more people came and went, it gradually formed a huge city.
It is covered with ice and snow all year round and has a harsh climate. There are very few ordinary residents here. The people who come and go are adventurers, businessmen, fugitives, exiles, as well as pirates and bounty hunters.
This is a city where adventurers gather. Although the city owner was given the official position of "Governor" by the Luying Empire, it is not actually governed by imperial laws and is a neutral place.
This is also one of the few cities that pirates will not plunder.
Pirates need supplies, some smuggling needs channels, and meat ticket ransom transactions need middlemen. This city without official control is the most suitable choice.
Because of this, the city is a mixed bag of fish and dragons.
It's approaching evening, the harbor of Blizzard City.
Workers on the dock discovered a sea-going ship rushing towards the harbor. It was moving very fast, and even when it was about to enter the harbor, it showed no intention of lowering its sails and slowing down.
Everyone exclaimed.
"Hey, look, there's a pirate ship entering the harbor!"
"Why don't you understand the rules? When you come to Blizzard City, don't you know you can't fly the pirate flag? Haha, they are probably a new member of the group who have just sailed out and have been clamoring all day about wanting to be the Pirate King."
"That flag looks so familiar. Damn it. Isn't that the ship of the 'Red Shark Pirates'?"
""
The ship rushed into the harbor and damaged several ships before stopping.
This movement suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
The steward of the dock walked over angrily, intending to scold these pirates for breaking the rules.
But upon closer inspection, they discovered that there was no one on board.
Some brave workers jumped on board and got into the cabin to check.
Within a moment, he was so frightened that he ran out crawling on the ground.
"Ah, so many dead people! The cabin is full of dead people!"
"Oh my God, all the guys in the Red Shark Group were killed! Someone killed them all!"
"It's so horrific. None of the corpses are complete."
""
Only then did everyone realize that the reason why the ship did not slow down was because there was no one there.
To be precise, there is no living person!
However, how could such a large ship, which requires more than a dozen people to sail without any living people, sail to the port?
Is it a ghost?
There are many stories about "ghost ships" at sea, and many people associate them with some mysterious events.
A strange atmosphere spread at the pier, and things soon spread to the city.
And no one noticed that when the ship sailed into the harbor, a man wearing a clown mask took advantage of the chaos and teleported into the corner of the pier.
Su Lun did not rush to the city to find anyone, but waited patiently on the dock.
He expected that Bonn, the leader of the Red Shark Group, would definitely come to check after hearing the news.
Sure enough.
Not long after, I saw a bearded man with a sinister look on his face leading several people to the pier.
Su Lun had peeled off pirate information before and recognized the guys disguised as businessmen at a glance. There was a sinister smile in his eyes hidden by the clown mask.
