"I've explained to you that it's a magic book, but its shell looks like a..."
Matthew said helplessly.
Bobo immediately showed a very well-behaved expression. She put her hands behind her back and swayed from side to side:
"I see……"
Only a pair of eyes shine brightly.
It gives people a feeling that everything is unspoken.
Matthew rubbed his temples and was about to explain further, but Lumiere next to him said firmly:
"I believe you, Matthew."
"That must be a magic book."
Upon hearing this, Bobo immediately cast a questioning look at him.
Lumiere looked calmly and said:
"Magics always have weird things, it makes sense."
"Just like you artificers, although you have always told us not to carry stereotypes, there is always a reason for the formation of every stereotype..."
Bobo touched the antenna on the helmet:
"What you said makes sense."
Matthew took the opportunity to change the subject.
He looked at Lumiere's silver hand and asked:
"How is your hand?"
Before Lumiere could speak, Bobo answered first:
"Perfect!"
"Neural control network based on mental force fitting!"
"Nearly twenty-five tons of explosive power in the press!"
“Four main modes switch smoothly and freely!”
"Construct-like life bionic evolution unit!"
"The most important thing is - it has a self-destruct module!"
"So I can only use one word to describe it, perfect!"
"Or……"
"BUMP!"
When it comes to professional content, Bobo immediately lights up with excitement and wants to sell her products to people all over the world.
"Construct-like life? Bionic evolution?"
Matthew listened in a daze, but he still caught some strange keywords.
Bobo nodded vigorously:
"That's right!"
"The raw material of this arm was removed from the remains of a mechanical life. Although the mechanical life died many years ago, its body is still highly active."
"Rather than saying this is a mechanical arm, it is more like a mechanical parasite, but compared to the minimal harm, its existence has more benefits for Lumière."
Mechanical life?
Matthew didn't know anything about this.
Hera from Mount Blackos and the Necrons from Stuluk Industries can both be considered a type of mechanical life, and 177 can also be considered half of them.
He indeed felt a rich spirituality from Lumiere's silver arm.
This does not exist in ordinary metal components or structures.
This spirituality made Lumiere's aura become mixed.
It also made him stronger.
Matthew observed the arm carefully and asked casually:
"But the explosive power of only 25 tons of pressing is not as strong as your original arms, right?"
Lumiere nodded:
"Probably only half of the original size..."
Matthew secretly clicked his tongue, this guy's original body was too abnormal.
It can only be said that the land of the rainforest has given him a special template that is far beyond that of normal humans.
At the same time, we can also imagine the true strength of the Terror Lord who severely wounded Lumiere.
"But apart from its strength, this arm is perfect in every aspect."
Lumiere smiled from the bottom of his heart:
"It has four working modes. Now it is the normal mode, which is the multi-functional mode, which can meet all the needs of daily life."
The voice fell.
The silver arm made the sound of gears turning.
In the blink of an eye.
A large-diameter black tube appeared at the end of the wrist instead of the palm of the robotic arm!
"This is shooting mode."
Bobo interjected:
"The shooting mode currently supports free switching of four weapons, and there are three additional blank weapon slots. My suggestion is to buy him a few magic wands that can cast spells quickly and insert them into them, so that this arm can also cast spells.
Ability!"
"Now there are sniper rifles, shotguns, burst rifles and hand cannons."
"Coupled with the magic wand in the future, it will be enough to solve the remote needs in most cases."
While introducing, Bobo asked Lumiere to switch between various weapons.
What Matthew saw was also extremely novel.
It takes 4 to 6 seconds for this arm to switch between different modes, but switching weapons is much faster, only taking about 5 seconds, which is quite amazing.
And except for shooting mode.
There are also fighting modes and capture modes.
"Theoretically, in fighting mode, this arm can be proficient in all weapons."
"But because the big man has no money to buy algorithm chips, he currently only has experience in using basic versions of ordinary weapons, which is enough in most cases."
"The capture mode is used to capture prey. This mode is relatively unpopular. The staff of the Titan Laboratory only developed it according to the original framework of the mechanical life, and did not understand its working principle and scope of application. He had to do it himself.
I slowly explored it.”
"In addition, he also has a third hand under his wrist that he can use for self-repair!"
"Due to the addition of the bionic evolution unit of life-like constructs, all power consumption of this arm relies on absorbing Lumiere's physical strength, mental power and magic power in the air."
“This means very low cost of use!”
"It has achieved 100% realism... Well, it may be a bit exaggerated, but 99%, no, 97% must be there!"
Bobo said confidently.
Matthew nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
He tried to gently stroke the silver hand with his fingertips.
It's in this process.
Where the fingertips touched, the surface of the originally extremely hard arm suddenly rippled in circles like liquid.
"Um, Matthew, it's a little itchy..."
Lumiere whispered sheepishly.
Bobo next to him showed a serious expression:
"Is it itchy to this extent?"
"It seems that the nerve sensitivity is set too high. This won't work. Maybe just a little pepper can paralyze your nerves in a short period of time."
Said.
She didn't know where to bring a small bench for Lumiere to sit on.
Bobo himself took out a toolbox and started beating Lumiere's arm with the tools inside.
"Is it itchy?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Are you still itchy now?"
"Um, did you touch me?"
"What now?"
"I don't feel anything..."
After debugging for a long time, Bobo finally let Lumiere stand up with satisfaction.
In the process, Matthew was able to observe the arm up close.
He could feel the difference in this arm.
"Isn't this the arcane arm we talked about before?"
Matthew asked.
Bobo nodded:
"This arm comes from a project sealed by the Titan Laboratory many years ago. It is an experimental life construct."
"Its name is 'Hand of God.'"
God?
This is not the widespread reference to the deity in the common language of Iron Dor.
It is a very directional noun.
Matthew looked surprised.
"Haven't heard of it?"
Bobo chuckled:
"Actually, I had never heard of it before. Later, I asked the staff of Titan Laboratory and found out that the names they gave to projects or items were all taken from a very ancient Book of Xenophobia.
"
"Since they are all unfamiliar words that no one has ever seen before, will they give people a feeling of superiority?"
"Who knows? Maybe the word just meant Chinese cabbage in the original context..."
Matthew immediately became interested in the Book of Strangeness.
But he didn't wait to ask further.
Bobo continued happily:
"Speaking of it, the big man is also lucky. During this transfer operation, many projects that were previously sealed were unearthed."
"Some items have no transfer value and can only be sealed or destroyed on site."
"This Hand of God is one of the projects that will be sealed. It was originally developed for Titan technicians, but the artificers who came from Cybertron to help found that the normal human body could not bear the Hand of God.
Only the most energetic beasts can withstand the physical exertion of the fusion period."
"Just at this time, Lumiere came..."
Hear this.
Matthew couldn't help but glance at Lumiere, and sure enough he found traces of dark circles under his eyes.
"Because it is an experimental project, there is no need to pay, and because I am doing it myself, even the labor fees are waived. I only need to regularly feedback some user experience and data to the people at Titan Labs."
Bobo concluded.
Matthew had a sincere smile on his face:
"That's really perfect."
Bobo nodded and said:
"But I have to thank the mage named Vivian."
"Originally, Ms. Holkins was a little hesitant because someone told her that the arm could be directly mounted on the mini-Titan. After Ms. Vivian heard about this, she took the initiative to come over and say hello.
The ownership of the arms has just been settled."
"We didn't see Vivian's mage afterwards, but she should be your friend, right?"
Matthew was slightly startled.
He nodded immediately. He and Vivian had only met each other once. The latter was Qin Wuyue's student, so he probably had a personal relationship with her.
He asked about the situation of World War.
I learned that the current World War Troops have completely moved to the moon.
The old site and laboratory of Cloud City will be sealed.
Most of the troops and related personnel will follow in the footsteps of Holkins. Apart from changing the name to Lunar Warfare and moving to the moon to carry out work, other things are not much different from before.
On the contrary, the capital budget is more sufficient.
This makes the atmosphere inside War on the Moon quite good.
Bobo himself is rather special.
Strictly speaking, she is not a member of Moon Face, but a private cooperative unit.
Following Holkins is just for the sake of love.
Holkins also issued a formal invitation to Bobo.
But Bobo rejected it.
She prefers a free-wheeling approach to collaboration.
"So you are willing to join my magic guild?"
Matthew asked with a smile.
Bobo said without hesitation:
"As long as there are no mandatory tasks!"
"When I encounter a mandatory task, it's easy to mess it up..."
Matthew nodded.
He asked Lumiere again about the latter's plans.
Lumiere thought for a moment and replied:
"I plan to cooperate with Lunar Calamity as a private person or a private contractor, just like Bobo."
"After installing this arm, I applied for registration as a Titan technician. If I pass the training, I will sign a mercenary contract with them and will fight for them at a specific time."
"Other than that, I am still free. If my situation meets the requirements, of course I am willing to join your guild."
This answer is not surprising.
Cooperating with Moonshine is indeed a channel through which Lumière can exert its own value to a greater extent.
Matthew's Spell Guild was originally a looser organization.
The guild will not interfere with members' daily lives and work.
"Then, welcome to join my guild!"
Matthew smiled and led the two of them to the moonlit forest. After a while, they had a decent copper badge in their hands.
Same as Rhaegar and the other three.
As soon as they joined the guild, they were attracted by the novel interface and functions on the badge.
"What is the chat room for? It's so weird!"
"And peer-to-peer communication?"
"Lumière, can you hear me?"
Bobo shouted at the copper badge on his hand.
Lumiere nodded.
Bobo's face showed a strange look:
"But I see it says that the communication module is not open?"
Lumiere looked at her innocently:
"You are standing next to me and you are speaking so loudly, of course I can hear you..."
Bobo's face darkened.
But soon the two of them were happily studying the functions of the magic guild.
But after just a few minutes.
The person with sore balls becomes the guild elf Xixi.
She privately messaged Matthew frantically:
"Why are there so many coal and metal blocks in the warehouse?"
"Who put the little bomb?"
"There are so many rainforest biological specimens and bloody meat..."
"Can you tell them not to stuff everything into the guild warehouse?"
"It's very tiring for me to clean alone..."
At the end, he sent a pitiful expression.
Matthew was helpless.
no way.
Who made the warehouse the only special function that the guild can provide to ordinary members?
Shared Mage Hand is also the most frequently used spell every day.
You can imagine.
As the number of union members increases in the future, more mages will need to be hired.
Otherwise it will definitely not be enough.
Matthew found an opportunity to open up the Moonwood Forest to Bobo and Lumiere, and told them to come out when they were done playing.
He also entrusted Bobo with the construction of communication network.
The latter patted his chest on the spot and said he could study it.
Matthew then left the woodland with peace of mind.
…
The next period of time.
Matthew's main focus is still planting trees.
With the help of druids, the efficiency of tree planting has indeed been greatly improved.
The druids actually don't approve of Matthew's drastic move to advance forest coverage.
in other seasons.
This kind of artificial reforestation may even be regarded as a violation of the will of nature.
But spring is different.
Spring is the season of resurrection of all things. During this period, planting trees or reproducing trees, no matter how radical the idea, the druids will support it with both hands and feet.
The druids of the Earth Society were good at planting trees. After passing the running-in period with the coolie zombies, every day thereafter, the oak forest and pine forest expanded towards the northeast at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If you look at it from the sky.
Now the Scar of the Dead in Rolling Stone Town has become a shallow scar surrounded by protective umbrellas and forests.
Matthew made an estimate.
Currently, 500 trees can be planted in one day, and the total target of 3,500 trees can be completed within a week of hard work!
And 500 trees a day is not the limit for Matthew and the druids.
This is the limit for collecting seeds and spawning saplings.
And during this period.
Matthew also clearly figured out how to measure others’ assistance in completing the task of planting trees——
Matthew himself planted the most trees with his own hands.
Then other druids will also be considered followers of Matthew.
Of course the tree they planted will also be counted on Matthew!
"If they can join my magic guild, which is the former Moonlight Society, then they don't even need to meet the condition of "I plant the most trees" to enjoy the +1+1 effect of planting trees..."
Matthew thought secretly.
It's a pity that although the Earth Society has encountered some difficulties, these druids have the idea of following Matthew for a while, but it is still impossible for them to change their sect now.
The meaning of the two great druids.
It is nothing more than setting up a branch of the Earth Society here in Matthew.
Matthew is not opposed to this.
He has always been open-minded.
The arrival of these druids can also give some stimulation to units such as centaurs and children of the forest.
Let them work more attentively.
It's certainly a good thing for Matthew.
Plant trees during the day.
Matthew spent his evenings studying the Necronomicon.
He took the time to go to the Great Library and obtained the complete method of making the Necronomicon.
The thing itself is not complicated.
After two or three days of research, Matthew had a rough idea.
However, when he tried to make a lower-level "Roster", he encountered one failure after another.
Fortunately, Matthew discovered and corrected two errors in technique in time based on the tips from his experience.
quickly.
One day later, he got two roll-call books that were hot out of the oven!
Each of these two rolls can be used to individually control 600 undead.
Matthew immediately incorporated the Fire Burner and the Extreme Cold Archer into two rolls, respectively, to relieve the pressure on the number of summons in the cemetery.
after that.
Matthew then began to try to make the Necronomicon.
As a higher-level magic weapon, the Necronomicon is of course much more difficult to make than the roll call.
But Matthew has the experience provided by Hux, and there are answers to most of the problems encountered along the way.
Therefore, the production process of the Necronomicon was smoother than the roll call.
After consuming a godhead fragment.
Matthew successfully obtained a thick magic book!
…
"Hint: You successfully created a Necronomicon!
Necronomicon: Even a layman who obtains this book can become a great necromancer.
-
Spell page (blank) (can hold up to 10 necromancy spells, legendary spells occupy 4 pages) -
Summoning page (blank) (can sign contracts with up to 6888 undead) -
Special effects page (negative energy hut/fear aura)
Negative energy hut: The undead who signed a contract with the Book of the Dead will open a safe hut on their own in the gap of the negative energy plane. You can usually place the undead in the hut and summon them out when needed.
.
Fear Aura: The undead who signed a contract with the Necronomicon will have a fear aura effect;
At the moment when the undead are summoned, the power of the fear halo is three times its usual strength.
…
Since you have accumulated enough elements in related fields (building a spell guild and making the Necronomicon), you have successfully entered the field of "enchantment"!
In return for getting involved in the field, you will gain one of the following three abilities -
-
Mana flow vision (your naked eyes become more sensitive to the ether, you can clearly see the direction of the flow of mana in a collection and the amount of convergence, you can more easily perceive the border between the etheric plane and the main material world)
place)-
Midas Touch (your fingers have the ability to "turn stone into gold", the enchantment effect is entry-level and lasts for 24 hours)
-
Mana Infusion (You can, like an artificer, directly inject your own mana into the objects around you in a simpler and cruder way!)"
…
Matthew read it over.
All three abilities are very average.
"The Midas Touch" was the first to rule it out. It's not really the Midas touch, otherwise Matthew would really want to try it!
"Mana Flow Vision" is also pretty useless.
Matthew has balanced perception and can even observe the flow of ether from an elemental level, which is several times more detailed than the flow of mana.
Therefore, he can only choose "Mana Infusion".
This ability is a necessary condition for becoming an artificer, but Matthew has no intention of becoming an artificer, so it is useless.
But things soon took a turn for the better.
…
"Tip: You have gained the ability "Mana Infusion"!
Your new ability resonates with the realm of the undead. Under the agitation of the realm of the undead, it will gain the following additional effects—
Mana Infusion & Undead: You can infuse your own mana into your undead body. In the process, the opponent has a very low probability of exploding (note: explosion does not mean death, most undead can still recover after exploding)
).
The infused undead may gain random abilities or attribute improvements.
Each undead has a different total number of infusions.
It depends on the strength of its soul fire.
Each time you infuse, there is a low chance of slightly improving your concentration.
Current objects that can be poured——
-
Paige (999 times)-
Eurolin(847 times)-
Philoleus (541 times)
..."
…
Matthew looked at this ability with a complicated expression.
With the blessing of the realm of the undead, mana infusion becomes less useless.
But it seems a little hurtful?
But this thing seems to be able to replace the effect of the sea elf meditation method.
Focusing on this attribute is so critical.
He has no reason to refuse any channel that can improve concentration!
"It seems that I will need to buy more mana supplements in the future. I can give them some when I have nothing to do. It's a win-win situation."
"I'm just a little tired."
Matthew thought secretly in his heart.
In addition to the abilities gained in the enchantment field, the smooth production of the Necronomicon also greatly alleviated the pressure faced by Matthew in terms of the number of summons.
He plans to make two or three copies for now.
The remaining fragments of the godhead are used for backup. After all, this stuff is a key material for many magic props involving space.
This is the drawing of the Yi Xingzhou boat that Alexander gave to Matthew.
That night.
Negative energy beacons attract a new group of guests to Matthew's cemetery.
The leader of this group of undead creatures is an elite "Gab Monster".
"The Gabber" is a rather rare undead unit.
They usually have only upper and lower lips, teeth, and a constantly undulating tongue.
They speak Common and are very noisy, chattering most of the time.
No one likes to live next door to a gabber monster.
Because their voices are enough to interfere with the soul fire of the undead, and even affect the lifespan of ordinary undead.
But after Matthew communicated with the elite rap monster named "The Silent One"...
Or decided to provide them with a shelter in the cemetery.
It was a crypt located at the corner of the second floor, and no one usually went there.
Matthew plans to install a layer of soundproofing around the crypt.
The Gabber Monster is an undead creature with a very high sense of territory.
Like the mud monsters, they will not leave their territory easily.
If they can live in peace without disturbing others.
Death Fear Cemetery can still accommodate them.
Don't look at the chatter monster, it seems useless.
This thing may be a more extreme killer of mages and psykers than ghosts!
The sound produced by the Rapper has the effect of breaking concentration.
This is especially true for elite rap monsters.
They can keep repeating a melody or some very magical chants in your ears.
Less than half a minute.
These sounds can leave a deep impression on your brain.
And when you are chanting spells.
As you recite it, you can't help but recite the melody of the rap monster.
Even the silent spells are useless!
They are the natural enemies of all spellcasters.
Those encountered will usually be driven out and killed.
Or keep it in captivity like Matthew and keep it for him to use later.
After arranging a residence for the chattering monster.
Bobo found Matthew and proposed a communication network solution:
"We can build a base station on the moon. If we don't have money, we can directly lease the wave bands and stations of Death on the Moon."
"At that time, we can use moonlight as the medium to transmit signals to the entire plane - the disadvantage is that the signal is weak during the day, but the signal is strong at night."
"I have researched it. The guild's collection stone can be used as the main receiver, and the member badges can also absorb moonlight very well. The guild is located in the demiplane of the Moonlight Goddess, so it can naturally establish a two-way circuit with the moon..."
"Although this solution is not perfect, it also has many advantages. First of all, it is very cheap..."
Hear this.
Matthew made his decision without hesitation:
"Just use this plan."
Bobo showed a little surprise:
"I haven't mentioned the other advantages yet."
Matthew shrugged:
“Cheap is the biggest advantage.”
"And I believe in your vision and ability."
"With the supervision of the chief artificer of Lunar Sorrow, there must be no problem with our communication network!"
"I only have one question now -"
"When can construction begin?"
Bobo patted his chest:
"Now you can!"
"I'm going to talk to Ms. Holkins right now!"
Matthew thought for a while and said:
"Tomorrow, noon or afternoon."
"I will go with you."
For the Southern Division Division, the person currently in charge of contacting Lunar Warfare is Vivian, who is also the temporary supervisor of the lunar project.
Matthew planned to talk to her in person.
But before heading to the moon.
He has other things to do.
…
Early next morning.
West of Grand Rapids, Golden Scissors Tailor Shop.
As soon as Matthew came to the door, he saw a girl dressed as a rich girl and said to the counter with a disappointed look on her face:
"Isn't Mr. Farian here today too?"
Tailor shop.
A relatively handsome young man replied politely:
"Yes, Miss Gavin, the teacher has been out on business recently."
"If you have a need for custom-made garments, it may be next month, or even the month after that."
The girl named Gavin turned around and left in disappointment.
Before leaving.
She also glanced at Matthew.
There was a hint of surprise and curiosity in her eyes, but she was very reserved and didn't say anything.
Matthew didn't pay attention to this wealthy daughter.
All his attention was focused on the young man with a smile on his face.
As soon as the two met.
The latter bent down very respectfully, with his body and the ground almost forming an angle of ninety degrees:
"Hello, sir, Mr. Farian is out for something. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Matthew raised his eyelids.
He could feel a huge force surging crazily within his body.
