The roars emitted by the fiery red and huge humanoid machinery gradually subsided.
Immediately afterwards.
The cockpit protective cover located in the center slowly rises.
A tiny figure ejected from inside——
It was a short, flat-chested girl wearing a metal helmet.
Bobo's figure drew a melodious parabola in mid-air.
before falling sharply.
A small umbrella suddenly flew out from behind her, and the small umbrella swayed and slowed down her speed.
After a while.
A long blue flame also appeared under Bobo's combat boots.
She stood extremely steadily on the snow in front of Matthew.
"The first test ejection landing was successful!"
The antenna above Bobo's head bloomed with warm yellow light, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
"You have to use the first three sentences in your meeting to praise a lady."
She came to Matthew and stood on tiptoe proudly.
Matthew smiled:
"very beautiful."
"It's shocking."
"Well, the legs are also very long."
When Bobo heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows:
"It's time for you to study your vocabulary, Matthew!"
"She is perfect!"
As she spoke, she turned around and opened her arms, as if she wanted to embrace the huge mechanical creation.
"She is perfect."
She repeated and emphasized:
"But I can understand your lack of words. It is precisely because it is so perfect that it is difficult for you to find a word to accurately describe her in the context of common language."
"So I created a word to describe the perfection of a lady - BUMP!"
"Remember this word, in Bobo language, it means the best!"
BUMP?
Matthew repeated it.
Bobo immediately turned around happily and gave him a thumbs up.
"Even though she is a mechanical creation, if there is a powerful pilot controlling her, it is not impossible to fight the legend head-on!"
Bobo beat his chest hard.
Can you kill the legend?
Matthew solemnly turned his attention back to the mechanical Titan in front of him.
He quietly sensed the dangerous aura on the mechanical creation.
"This thing may indeed pose a threat to the legend..."
Put aside the tough lines and wild and unrestrained aesthetics of the humanoid machine.
Matthew realized that the special modules and killing moves hidden in the dark were the real terror of the Mechanical Titan.
"However, this design should not be used against mages. Instead, it is more suitable for targeting large units, such as behemoths!"
Just think of this.
Matthew couldn't help but ask:
"Have you found that copy of "Machines, Fire Dragons and Titans"?"
Bobo shook his head:
"No."
"But the vice-president of the Huo Sisters helped me find some copies of the book and a semi-finished product of the Mechanical Titan."
"I worked hard to pass the examination of the Wisdom Palace and became an Artifact Master with S+ potential. I naturally became the Chief Artifact Master of World War. Only then did I have the authority to take over these materials and semi-finished products."
"Finally, after my careful transformation, "Lady" was born."
"Strictly speaking, this is her first flight test in a non-enclosed environment."
"And you are also the first human being besides me to witness the style of a lady with your own eyes!"
Bobo put his hands on his hips and looked proud.
Matthew also showed an expression of honor:
"She does look great."
"But then again, you are now the chief weapon master of World War?"
Bobo waved his hand:
"It's not worth mentioning."
"Because there was an accident before the World War, all their original magic weapon masters were lost in the ruins of Yunshang. Currently, I am the only serious magic weapon master in this army, and the others are apprentices.
.Then I will naturally be the chief!”
"Aren't you also the chief mage of Rolling Stone Town?"
Matthew smiled.
Then the two of them walked around the lady several times. Bobo excitedly pulled Matthew and introduced him to the special features of the lady.
She also dances when she is excited.
The antenna on the helmet alternately emits yellow and blue light.
Matthew guessed these represented excitement and joy respectively.
"...In short, ladies can perfectly adapt to most battle scenes in the sky and on land."
"In the hands of the right pilot, the dragon is to her what a wild boar is to a human armed to the teeth!"
Bobo concluded this.
Matthew couldn't help but feel itchy after hearing this:
"Can I touch her?"
Bobo put his hands on his hips generously:
"Touch whatever you want."
Matthew went over and gently touched the mechanical parts of the lady's feet, and a cold and cold touch came from his hands.
Just for a moment.
Goosebumps were rising all over his body.
Matthew noticed.
This mecha is spiritual.
Its spiritual level is higher than that of most units in the cemetery, only a little lower than the soldiers!
"The Artifact Master's creations are truly amazing."
"I don't know if I have the chance to fly such a mecha."
Matthew looked up.
The overall appearance of the lady is the same as that of a human being, except that there is a slight bulge on the belly and on both arms near the shoulders.
Those are three faucets.
According to Bobo, the lady can freely switch into seven fire dragon forms with different emphasis.
In fire dragon form.
These dragon heads can spray dragon breath simulated by the artificer's magic.
Its power is not inferior to that of a normal dragon.
What's more important is that these dragon breaths have almost no cooling time. As long as the raw materials are enough, you can spray them for as long as you want!
This thing is a war weapon!
Matthew quickly realized that if someone drove this mechanical Titan onto the battlefield, they would undoubtedly become a nightmare for the enemy.
This may be a more desperate existence than the dragon.
"But in human form, wouldn't these legs be a bit too long?"
Matthew asked, pointing to the lady's legs that were obviously a bit deformed compared to her body.
Bobo's eyes widened:
"This is called a crane leg. It is my special design. It can be stretched ten times and is suitable for special operations in lakes or sea environments!"
"Besides, do you think there's anything wrong with having long legs?"
Matthew looked at the long legs of the Mechanical Titan, then looked back at Bobo's short legs.
He suddenly showed an expression of realization.
Bobo's expression became a little unkind.
Matthew quickly invited her to sit in the cemetery.
Along the way.
Bobo jumped up and down and talked:
"Today is the day for the first public test of Lady, and it is also the day for World War to practice on the plateau above the clouds."
"The content of this exercise is mainly to simulate the situation when Yunduan City is attacked by a powerful enemy and the World War Troops are forced to land on the Yunshang Plateau. The lady appears in the exercise as a cooperating unit..."
exercise?
Unexpectedly, the elves in Cloud City not only possess extremely advanced black technology, but their war concepts are also several generations more advanced than those on the ground.
Matthew sighed secretly in his heart.
Immediately he said doubtfully:
"So you sneaked out during the exercise?"
"Doesn't it matter?"
Bobo adjusted his helmet and said calmly:
"Just think of it as my temporary intention to make the exercise a little more difficult."
"Let them try to see how they can deal with the crisis on the frontal battlefield if the lady responsible for coordination is entangled by an evil enemy."
Matthew smiled hoarsely:
"You won't tell them when you look back that the evil enemy is me, right?"
Bobo chuckled.
She did not answer Matthew's question directly, but patted her belly with both hands through her velvet jacket:
"I'm hungry!"
Matthew looked at the red face under the helmet and could only nod:
"I'll arrange food for you."
The two quickly entered the cemetery.
Bobo looked at the surrounding environment curiously:
"Your home is so big!"
“And there are so many people!”
The two were walking in the cemetery.
Matthew could clearly feel that Bobo was becoming more reserved.
She doesn't seem to be very adaptable to an environment with many strangers.
Matthew took her to the restaurant.
Peggy isn't here.
He had to go to the kitchen to tinker with something himself——
Heat the milk, fry the sausage, and make some mushroom noodles.
Although Matthew doesn't cook often, his cooking skills are actually quite good. Within ten minutes, a strong aroma came from the kitchen.
Bobo came over from the living room.
Her eyes shone as she looked at the food on the table. Matthew smiled and invited her to taste it. She didn't refuse and devoured it.
soon.
Only the licked plates were left on the table.
"Is the food in World War II bad?"
Matthew asked curiously.
Bobo thought for a while:
"Machinists don't pay attention to food, as long as they can eat well.
The cloud elves are a group of lunatics who will die if they don't starve. You should have seen Emilia, right?
They are all as thin as a piece of paper.
The way they consume energy is different from the way we do.
The situation with Cyberosaurs is similar. Although dwarfs can eat, in most cases they still eat stones directly."
"Sometimes after spending a long time with them, I even forget that I am a human being. I often forget to eat and make myself dizzy."
Matthew looked at Bobo with interest.
Being able to enter a cybernetic dragon as a human is enough to show that Bobo is special, but she doesn't seem to realize this yet.
After a full meal.
Bobo's condition has obviously improved a lot.
His expression is not as restrained as before:
"By the way, where is that funny uncle?"
"He should be near your house, right?"
Matthew thought for a while.
Bobo should refer to Rhaegar.
So he corrected him seriously:
"Rhaega is the lord of Rolling Stone Town, and he will soon become the king of Rolling Stone Kingdom."
"I admit that he is quite funny sometimes, but we should not use the title "funny uncle" anymore.
Bobo nodded, with a well-behaved look on his face:
"I see."
Matthew was still a little worried, so he asked:
"Then what are you going to call him when we meet next time?"
Bobo thought for a moment:
"That funny king?"
Matthew immediately stretched out a hand and politely made a forbidden gesture:
"Just call him Rhaegar."
…
Leaving the kitchen, Matthew took Bobo for a stroll in the cemetery.
After eating and drinking enough.
The artificer's desire for new things can no longer be suppressed.
Bobo touched the tombstones left and right, looking very curious.
But Matthew knew that she was already very restrained.
Although she touched a lot of things.
But they all refrained from infusing these things with mana.
It can be seen from this.
It's a rumor that artificers can't help but turn everything they see into bombs.
At least Bobo's restraint is still good.
Walked all the way.
Bobo suddenly turned back to Matthew and said:
"Did you realize something was wrong?"
Matthew looked around:
"no?"
Bobo said seriously:
"I just came in and saw a lot of undead, but now these undead have disappeared..."
Matthew wanted to explain to Bobo that they might be participating in Peggy's hide-and-seek contest.
Then at this time.
There was also a rush of footsteps on the stairs leading to the underground floor.
The two looked back.
But these two figures came down the stairs with snow-white figures on their bodies.
These two people, a man and a woman, the man has a broken arm and the woman is indifferent, are Lumiere and Laila who have returned from the rain forest.
"Matthew, what happened in the cemetery? We just met some undead, and they hid when they saw us!"
Lumiere also looked a little confused.
"Are you back?"
Matthew smiled and explained the rules of the hide-and-seek contest, and then the three of them suddenly understood.
"How is it going?"
Matthew asked Lumiere with concern.
He guessed that this trip to the rainforest was of great help to Lumiere's growth.
Compared to before.
Lumiere looked more aged, and Matthew noticed that he had begun to grow a beard. This change in appearance made him more mature and his eyes became more determined.
"It's all settled."
"No one blames me. The families of those dead soldiers told me that they were mentally prepared for this before setting off."
"I know this is what they said to comfort me, and I also know that the tragedy was entirely due to my own mistake, but I know more clearly that I will not make mistakes forever..."
"I'm still the king of the rainforest."
"I will fulfill my promise to all of them."
Lumiere said calmly.
Matthew patted him on the shoulder and chatted with Laila for a while.
The state of the drow warriors is also much more cheerful than before.
Laila was not a particularly gloomy person to begin with. She was taciturn before, probably because she was under pressure from Gai Lan.
Now that she is freed from Galan and becomes Matthew's disciple, she is truly free.
The mental state is naturally different.
Matthew can feel it.
Laila's strength has improved a lot compared to before!
If you think about it carefully, as the opponent's extraterritorial sect leader, Matthew has not given Laila any abilities.
This is obviously some dereliction of duty.
"I'll find a useful ability for her later and give it to her first."
"Spells can actually be used. After all, her melee strength is already very good. With some ability-based spells, she can have a surprise attack effect."
While Matthew and Laila were talking.
Bobo noticed Lumiere’s empty sleeve:
"Where are your hands?"
Lumiere said calmly:
"It was taken away by a demon lord."
Bobo said seriously:
"What's his name? We'll help you get revenge!"
Lumiere whispered:
"No need, he is already dead."
"Is that so?"
Bobo's face showed a thoughtful look. She seemed to have something to say, but she stopped talking.
At this time Matthew came over:
"I was about to tell you about this, the Battle of Wild Wolf Mountain. You must have heard of it, right?"
"Due to an accident during that battle, Lumiere lost his right hand."
"I want to know, if you want to install a robotic arm on him, do you have a suitable solution?"
Bobo jumped up immediately:
"Of course!"
"I was just about to recommend a plan to you, but I'm afraid you are resistant to robotic arms."
Lumiere said:
"I will not resist any power now, let alone machinery. Even if you give me a devil's arm, I will connect it and use it!"
Bobo shook his head:
"That won't work, the devil's arm is still too weak!"
"World Sorrow happens to have a ready-made prosthetic solution. I can install a jet-type arcane arm for you. This solution causes very low damage to the nerves, is strong and durable, and the cost is not high. If you follow up,
When you get tired of using it, you can always replace it with a new model!”
Lumiere's eyes lit up with a look of anticipation.
But he was still a little nervous and asked:
"How much will it cost?"
Bobo thought for a while:
"A few tens of thousands is enough."
Lumiere frowned subconsciously.
Matthew waved his hand:
"Money is not an issue. There was a war dividend that was not paid to you before. It is more than enough to buy a mechanical arm."
Lumiere took a deep look at Matthew.
He seemed to want to say something, but finally held back.
"money is not a problem."
Matthew emphasized:
"Safety comes first, followed by quality and power."
Bobo patted his chest and said:
"The arcane arm of this plan comes with a jet propulsion effect. If you want other effects, you can achieve it by adding additional modules."
"An α-level arcane arm can theoretically be equipped with up to six additional modules."
"Let me think about it, the "self-destruct module" is a must!
This module gives you the ability to throw away your arms when necessary to create powerful explosions.
Let's imagine--
While fighting, you suddenly take off your arm, throw it into the enemy pile, and then bang!
What a perfect and shocking picture that must be!”
"I also recommend you to install a "Magic Hook". This module has been banned by the Seven Saints Alliance, but because it is a banned module, you can only think about how powerful it must be. You just need to remember to use it secretly.
Once you were discovered, you said you picked it up on the ground..."
"There is also a popular module called "Giant Power", which can give you more than 24 points of power. If the fit is high, it may even be 25 points! With this module, you can easily use it
The arcane arm lifts any weapon or heavy object..."
"I remember there is also a module called "Third Hand". This module can attach a mini operating prosthetic hand to your arcane arm. This prosthetic hand can be used for daily maintenance and inspection of the arcana arm.
At critical moments, it can also emit magic laser, and you can adjust it to any color you want..."
"And there's more..."
When it comes to professional content, Bobo can't stop dancing.
Matthew quickly wrote down the contents of the modules mentioned by Bobo.
Then he placed the list of notes in front of Lumière.
"Choose for me, Matthew!"
"Although I can barely read, I can't understand these things very well."
Lumiere thought for a moment and said:
"But I don't need the self-destruct module. I'm a little scared..."
Who would have heard this?
Bobo immediately jumped up from the ground:
"no!"
"Without the self-destruct module, the arcane arm would have lost its soul!"
Lumiere hesitated and said:
"But what if it suddenly explodes while I'm sleeping?"
Bobo thought for a while:
"You can reduce the amount of sleep you get, thereby reducing the chance of an explosion?"
Lumiere looked stunned.
Matthew coughed and changed the subject:
"We will talk about the specific modules needed later. I would like to know more details about this plan."
As he spoke, he handed over the pen and paper.
Bobo took the quill and immediately started drawing on the blank papyrus.
As she spoke, she explained the details of the arcane arm in detail.
quickly.
She filled up a piece of paper.
Matthew hurriedly got the second one.
During this process.
Matthew realized that Bobo had a strong drawing ability.
The drawings she drew by hand are extremely precise and very close to proportion.
I didn't know this was an artificer's ability.
It’s still Bobo’s unique talent.
quickly.
Drawings showing various sections of the robotic arm appeared in front of Mathieu and Lumière.
Bobo asked while drawing:
"What weapons do you usually like to use?"
Lumiere replied:
"unarmed."
"Occasionally I use a blow dart."
Bobo shook his head:
"Blow darts are too ancient. In Irondor, ancient means backward most of the time."
"I suggest that after you install the arcane arm, you sign up for one of World War's recruit training camps. As long as you graduate successfully, your combat skills will definitely be raised to a whole new level."
"By the way, how much do you know about mechanical creations?"
Lumiere shook his head honestly:
"Know nothing."
Bobo suddenly stopped writing and turned to look at Lumiere:
"Then you can definitely become a Titan technician!"
Lumiere was completely stunned:
"What is a Titan?"
"What is a technician?"
Matthew looked on and wanted to laugh.
All I can say is that he has an unconstrained way of thinking.
It is probably impossible for anyone else to let a Jango who has just walked out of the jungle try to drive an extremely complex construct like the Mechanical Titan.
"Forget it, let's wait until you finish installing the arm."
Bobo seemed to realize this too.
She calculated quickly on the last piece of paper.
"I should be able to get 120,000 gold coins."
“Comes with three warranty periods for important accessories and five replacements for common small accessories.”
Bobo handed the piece of paper to Matthew.
After reading it, Matthew nodded repeatedly.
Bobo is really loyal.
No labor fee will be charged.
The price given is completely the cost price.
She might even lose a little!
"About 130,000."
Matthew quoted his price.
Bobo didn't negotiate the price at all, and nodded readily.
Lumiere breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a trace of expectation in his eyes, as if he was already looking forward to the life after regaining his arm.
But at this moment.
He suddenly noticed that Bobo was looking at him pitifully.
"What's wrong?"
Lumiere felt a sense of crisis in his heart and felt that something was wrong.
Bobo's big eyes flashed, looking full of prayer:
"Are you really not going to add a self-destruct function?"
Lumiere sighed and asked:
"If I say no."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Bobo immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice:
"If you reject me, I won't be able to sleep today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"
Mathieu reminded Lumière:
"If you don't refuse, you may not be able to sleep every night after getting the arm."
Bobo waved his little fist at Matthew angrily:
"I can add a sleep function to his arm!"
Matthew is curious:
"Can the sleep function reduce the probability of the arm self-destructing?"
Bobo shook his head and said:
"It just helps him sleep more deeply."
After a while.
She added:
"The sleep function also includes two electronically controlled earbuds."
Matthew asked again:
“Can electronically controlled earplugs stop an arm from self-destructing?”
Bobo continued to shake his head and said:
"no."
"But the electronically controlled earplugs can reduce the explosion noise when the arm self-destructs, so that it will not affect his sleep."
Matthew: "..."
He could hardly control his tendency to complain.
But at this moment.
Lumiere suddenly said firmly:
"I pretend."
Bobo's eyes lit up:
"Really?"
"You can't go back on your word if you confirm it, right?"
"Don't worry, I will try my best to reduce the power of the explosion for you..."
Lumiere shook his head and said:
"What is the maximum power that can be adjusted?"
Bobo thought:
"I don't know the specifics. It's probably equivalent to a legendary level evocation spell, right?"
Lumiere nodded vigorously:
"That's it!"
Matthew looked at Lumiere with some surprise.
Seeing that the latter's eyes were firm.
He didn't say much more.
But at this moment.
A tombstone not far away suddenly exploded!
A loud bang was heard in the quiet cemetery.
Everyone was startled.
The smoke and dust dispersed.
Everyone came to the explosion site in shock, only to see fragments of tombstones all over the ground.
Matthew looked back.
But he saw Bobo obediently clasping his hands behind his back.
There was an embarrassed look on his face.
"Is it too late to regret it now?"
Lumiere, realizing what had happened, asked Mathieu.
Matthew patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, and then asked everyone to leave.
…
Night falls.
Tonight Rhaegar will hold the official dinner of Mudong Festival in the town.
Because the participants were all ordinary dignitaries from the future Rolling Stone Kingdom, Matthew did not participate.
But Bobo and Lumiere went over to join in the fun.
Peggy's hide-and-seek contest is still ongoing.
There was a dead silence in the cemetery.
Except for Qiuka, who was responsible for finding people, popping up in Matthew's field of vision from time to time.
All other participating units hid.
Matthew took this opportunity to recruit the ghost Ali who did not participate in the competition.
In the workshop with the door closed.
Ali looked nervously at Matthew, who looked calm.
There is a black box on the table in the center of the workroom. Next to it is a pile of scalps from the Rand clan devils and a silver knife.
"Sign a deep contract with me, and I will help you advance to "Ghost Archon"."
Matthew gets straight to the point.
Ali's soul suddenly shrank violently.
Ghost Archon.
This is a legendary career.
For any soul body, the Ghost Archon is an irresistible temptation.
What's more, Ali knows Matthew quite well.
I know that the latter's character will never deceive me.
"good."
Ali responded quite decisively.
Matthew had a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Now, relax your soul body. I will cut off a part and then inject it into this Horcrux. This action may be a little painful, so please bear with it..."
During the conversation.
Matthew picked up the silver knife on the table.
He stroked towards Ali lightly.
With the help of exorcism weapons.
The silver knife easily cut off about one-twentieth of Ali's soul!
Ali endured pain from the depths of his soul.
His soul was shaking violently.
"Then the next step is to sign a deep contract..."
Matthew carried out his work methodically and according to the established steps.
But at this moment.
A familiar feeling came over him.
His vision went dark.
Then the surrounding scenes changed rapidly——
The next second.
Matthew then noticed that the scene around him had turned pitch black.
It felt like I was in a coffin!
etc.
Why does this scene seem so familiar?
Before Matthew could react.
A faint voice came from the coffin next to it:
"Here you come, brother?"
"Come here and help me see, this coffin board can no longer hold me down!"
Matthew glanced at the data column.
…
"Hint: You have cut off a soul with your own hands, and coupled with your daily accumulation of knowledge, you have officially entered the soul field!
In the process of exploring the Soul Realm, you were inspired by your old acquaintance "Oluolin" in the Tomb Realm and came to the Demonic Realm of Ravenloft..."
