"You don't mind if I ask, what the hell is this?"
Lu Yu really didn't think this was a living thing. Which living thing could move while holding its own head?
Female version of Xing Tian?
I originally wanted to use mental magic to communicate, but seeing that the girl in white's desire to attack had temporarily subsided, Lulutis decided not to provoke her.
While looking at the girl in white, she explained to Lu Yu in a low voice.
"This is the Demon Breaking Doll."
There are many special minerals in nature that are very repellent to magic and can dissolve and distort magic.
Based on the distortion effect of these stones on magic power, ordinary people used crafts to create a large number of tools to restrain magicians.
Demon-Breaking Arrows, Demon-Breaking Potion, Demon-Breaking Scale Powder, etc.
Adventurers who go out often carry some magic-breaking tools to deal with hostile magicians and monsters from other races that are good at magic.
The craftsmanship of ordinary people is basically maintained at the level of artifacts, but that is not the case for magicians.
Not only ordinary people have a need to defeat demons, magicians also need to deal with potential enemies.
The puppeteer who makes dolls and the alchemist who likes to study the "craft of creation" creatively integrate the two.
The bodies of these dolls contain demon-breaking power that can distort magic, and their bodies have been strengthened by alchemy, so they have become magician killers who feel no pain and will not die.
Depending on the production process, some demon-breaking dolls can even kill magicians of level 4 or above.
Lulutis didn't feel that anyone was giving orders to the Demon-Breaking Doll, so the Demon-Breaking Doll was most likely activated by the magic power in the form of resonance.
Who put the doll in this damn place without turning off the core that drives her?
Lu Yu didn't have time to think too much about anything else. He had exhausted all his magic power and physical strength during training, and suddenly started running back and forth at high speed. Now he was really weak.
Panting heavily, Lu Yu looked at the iron rod in his hand and decided to engage in melee combat.
Charging external batteries is a very good idea, but when faced with enemies that are approaching every step of the way, how can you have time to take drugs or get a power bank?
Just like what I did just now, using whatever is available to you is the right way to go all out.
"Lulutis, how to deal with her?"
"If it were the old me, I would have used magic to violently blow it up."
"I know you were very strong in the past, but what I'm asking is...what about now?"
"Find her core and make the doll stop." Lulutis said, "I just poked her heart with my tentacle just to find the core."
However, the physical strength of the Demon-Breaking Doll far exceeded Lulutis' imagination.
The puppeteer who made the Demon-Breaking Doll was very willing to use materials. In its heyday, it shouldn't be a problem for this doll to defeat a third-level magician.
In this place where fine steel and mithril are the mainstream, this is already a powerful combat force.
"Click..."
"Click..."
Lu Yu and Lulutis were shocked when they communicated while the dolls were not moving.
The right hand holding the doll's head was raised high into the air, and its body was trembling continuously. While trembling, it staggered towards Lu Yu's direction.
Lu Yu wasn't sure why the puppet suddenly turned into Parkinson's disease. He didn't find the scene in front of him funny at all, he just found it creepy.
Because the doll's head was still smiling at him.
Was it necessary for the puppet master to make this puppet so realistic?
Anyway, it is to sense magic power to attack. Is there a big difference between having a head and not having a head?
Lu Yu felt that the puppet master could make something similar to a scary robot based on spiders.
Imagine a jet-black arthropod-like demon-breaker doll with slender mouthparts and a large number of slender legs.
They come in groups, ignore terrain obstacles, and swarm you... Damn, they are not as good as humanoid dolls. At least the humanoid dolls can usually be dressed up and eye-catching.
Lulutis observed the figure's epileptic movements, as if she understood something.
Her tentacles snatched the iron rod from Lu Yu's hand, rushed forward, and hit the puppet hard on the chest before it could react!
A tentacle monster, holding an iron rod in its hand, is lying on the ground with its head turned sideways. The doll keeps beating it. If there is no background, I am afraid it will feel chaotic to the point of numbness.
Lu Yu reacted quickly. He grabbed a green brick from under the wall of the mansion next to him and walked to the fallen doll.
Lu Yu was worried that the doll's head would perform a classic maneuver of flying its head, so he kicked her head away with his big foot, and then he safely followed Lulutis and hammered the twitching doll to the ground.
Although I don't know why the doll's combat power suddenly dropped sharply, the correct solution is to break this dangerous thing into pieces first, then burn it, collect the burned ashes, and spread them in various places.
Even if a magician came to look for him, Lu Yu didn't believe that his few operations could allow him to track him down.
Lulutis saw that the puppet could only tremble continuously and could not make coherent movements, so she put down the iron rod.
The tentacles groped around the doll's chest, found a hidden button behind the tattered clothes, and touched it lightly.
The doll instantly straightened its body and stopped moving.
Lu Yu was puzzled.
What's wrong with this puppet master? The contours of his face and body are so thin, and the details under his clothes are so poor. Is he pursuing details or cutting corners?
Do puppet masters from other worlds have the spirit of craftsmanship?
Lulutis dug out the demon core of the Demon-Breaking Doll, and after examining it carefully, she murmured suspiciously: "What... is this?"
The internal magic circle that originally drove the doll's operation has long been fragmented. I don't know who nested a new magic circle on the original magic circle.
The people who later repaired the magic circle were unskilled and had a poor understanding of magic, and were unable to unleash the full power of the Demon-Breaking Doll.
Moreover, the person who later repaired the magic circle seemed to be unable to find a suitable replacement for the driving crystal core, and still used the old magic-breaking crystal core.
Over the years, this crystal core was already fragile, and then it was suffocated by Lu Yu with a stick...
The chain hammer can't penetrate heavy armor, but it can make you vomit blood and die.
Lulutis found the head that was driven far away by Lu Yu's big kick.
Sure enough, this head does not match this body at all!
Lu Yu also understood the current situation.
In short, someone is modifying this demon-breaking doll, and the modification direction is to turn her into a beautiful girl that suits their own aesthetics.
But this person was very poor and couldn't repair the built-in magic circle of his predecessors. He had to build a new one himself. Looking at the traces of the formation, it can be seen that he tried it many times.
Finally, he succeeded.
The two nested formations were triggered together, barely allowing the puppet to move... Of course, he probably didn't know why he was able to move this time.
Just like coders, don’t ask why it works. If it works, it’s a good thing. As long as there are no bugs, don’t change the code randomly!
After checking, Lulutis found no sign of the remote-controlled doll and was convinced that this was an accidental magical resonance event.
Speaking of which... this kind of thing seems to have happened not long ago?
"Then the question is, who hid her here?" Lu Yu touched his chin and began to think.
In the middle of the night, the rapid sound of horse hooves interrupted Lu Yu's thoughts, as well as Lulutis's movements to check the doll.
The two looked at each other, quickly opened the spiritual magic link, and entered the chat room mode.
There was no need for Lu Yu to command at all. Lulutis, who knew his temper well, had already dragged the puppet into the house and quickly hid.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and Lu Yu became more and more certain that the other party was coming to find him.
He hesitated for a while, then walked into the house and asked Lulutis to cooperate with him in closing the curtains on all the windows and extinguishing all the light sources on the first floor.
Lu Yu quickly went to the kitchen and put his knife on his waist so that he could use it at any time.
Lulutis took advantage of the darkness of her body and lurked in a corner that was extremely difficult to detect.
After completing these actions, the visitor had already arrived at the yard on horseback.
Lu Yu glanced through the gap in the curtains and saw a young man with blond hair whom he was not familiar with at all.
The visitor did not knock on the door in a hurry, but stood in front of the door, took care of his clothes, checked his appearance, and then opened the door.
Through Lulutis' description, Lu Yu roughly knew the visitor's actions outside the door.
Although the other party behaved very politely, who could know that this was not acting?
But it's definitely not possible to keep quiet, as the other party will probably have the idea of breaking into the empty door.
Lu Yu crept up the stairs and took off his coat, leaving only the inner lining.
He rubbed his face, pretended to be sleepy, and deliberately stepped on the stairs to make a sound.
"Who is it? It's so late!" The angry voice in the yawn caused the person outside the door to stop what he was doing.
"Dear tenant, Your Majesty, Andrew Turner, the eldest son of the Turner family, is the owner of your house."
"I'm visiting late at night. I'm sorry to disturb you. I wonder if I can open the door and talk."
The Turners?
Lu Yu rolled his eyes.
Could it be that this doll was left in the attic and forgotten?
He thought so in his heart, but his words were still full of anger.
"Do I believe you when you say you are from the Viscount family?" Lu Yu said, "Who can guarantee that you are not a gangster?"
Andrew outside the door was not angry, but patiently explained the reason for his late night visit.
"Take something from the attic and leave after taking it?"
When Lu Yu heard what Andrew said, hey, this is a stone hammer.
That dish with the magic circle embedded in it...well, the noble is right in front of you.
In the flash of lightning, a new plan flashed in Lu Yu's mind.
Lu Yu asked Lulutis to drag the doll out.
While Andrew was still outside the door explaining that he had no ill intentions and was willing to use items to redeem the things left behind, the door suddenly opened and a human-shaped silhouette fell in front of him.
Andrew stared blankly at the doll that was covered with scratches and had its head missing. He quickly leaned down and examined her tremblingly.
"Andrew...should the Turner family give me an explanation?"
Andrew, who was about to accuse Lu Yu of destroying his precious doll, was stunned when he heard what Lu Yu said.
"Explanation?" Andrew laughed angrily, "You destroyed the things I left behind to look like this. If you and I weren't both nobles..."
Andrew put his hand on his sword: "I'm going to invite you to a duel!"
"The thing you left behind is a demon-breaking doll. You know this even if I don't tell you."
"Your Demon-Breaking Doll attacked me just now. If it weren't for my superior skills, ordinary people would have been splattered with blood on the spot."
"If you question me, then I will question you too."
Lu Yu walked up to Turner, slapped the blade of his scabbard with his hand, raised his head, and said in a deep voice.
"The Turner family secretly hid the demon-breaking dolls and attacked and killed the tenants. Is this how the nobles of the Yas Kingdom treat guests?"
Seeing that Turner's hand was still holding the sword hilt, Lu Yu raised the corner of his mouth and asked with a sneer.
