There was a soft click.
Fang Yu gently closed the back cover of the Walker III - he checked and found that the workmanship of this Walker was quite sophisticated, with all the seams of the casing tightly fitting together. This was not like the work of a small workshop, but more like the work of a small workshop. It is the work of Kingfisher Workshop. It's a pity that the serial number on the production nameplate has been rubbed off, probably to prevent the purchase route from being traced.
We can also see from the details how careful the Dragon Worshipers are in concealing their identities. It is no wonder that these people rarely reveal their identities unless they take the initiative to reveal their identities.
As a young man who grew up in a stable society, it was really difficult for Fang Plover to change his identity and guess the methods of the cultists. The dragon worshipers worshiped the dark dragon crazily, but Nicol Bolas didn't seem to care about them at all. Life and death, is the relationship between the two really as close as imagined?
He also remembered that Nicol Bolas's behavior at Traveler's Rest was completely different from what it was now, and that the incarnation of the Golden Dragon in the illusion was just a shadow of Nicol Bolas left here thirty years ago. Will a giant dragon change so much in ten years?
For a creature like a giant dragon with a life cycle of more than a thousand years, this amount of time is just a blink of an eye.
After closing the back cover, he switched his perspective and looked around through the Clockwork Fairy. The forest was densely covered with ancient trees, and there was silence. The silver moonlight melted into the forest mist, and fell brightly on the tangled roots of the strange trees.
The firelight of Lower City can no longer be seen from this direction.
The surrounding environment is like a scene from a book about gods and monsters, with dead trees showing their teeth and claws, the horrifying night owl chirping, and a cold silver moon in the night sky.
Fang Plover looked around a little cautiously.
The one with the worst infiltration ability in this team is probably him. His profession is not a combat profession, and his level is lower than Hongye.
He could only release the clockwork fairy and fly around him, trying to avoid the enemy one step ahead. However, in the final analysis, the Clockwork Goblin still relies on the operator to identify the target, and it will be a bit embarrassing when he needs to be distracted to do other things.
Fortunately, I was pretty lucky. Although it took a little time to debug the walkers and replace the core crystal, it seems that there are relatively few followers of the Dragon Worship Cult in this direction.
After realizing that no one else was approaching, Fang Plover breathed a sigh of relief.
He carefully retracted into the bushes and looked at the menu of the walker while debugging it. After opening the system panel, the data of the 'Sword Bearer' immediately filled the entire page in front of his eyes:
'Walker Type 355 (Sword Holder) [Quadruped System] - (Equipment Level, D Level)'
'Basic attributes - attack: 32-47 (+16), strength modification +42%; melee hit: 61 (+30), strength modification +51%; balance: 42 (+7), agility modification +17%; Explosive power: 21, output correction +54%'
'Protective attributes - Armor: 8 (shell part), Durability: 110/110, Shield: 0/0, Dodge value: 167/167, Block value: 125/125'
This attribute basically completely crushes Type 1 and Type 2 walkers. Among them, the most intuitive attack power alone is more than 70% higher than that of the 'Sword Plover'.
It is only slightly inferior in agility, because each of the four Walker models is heavier than the last. Among them, the Walker type IV is basically the same size as a human being, and can be regarded as a medium-sized construct.
But even so, the sword wielder is still a dexterous structure. The height of nearly one meter and the total combat weight of only 29 kilograms are enough to illustrate this point.
Its appearance is also slender and agile, which is very different from the first and second type walkers. In addition to the common four-legged structure, its upper body is a humanoid structure that is very different from the first two.
This humanoid construct holds a sword in each hand, so it is called the 'Sword Holder'.
In fact, the two sword-holding hands each have four omnidirectional joints. The amount of operation required to control each hand individually is basically equivalent to the amount of operation required to control a 'Sword Plover'.
Fang Yu looked at this thing and tried to move the glove slightly.
The Walker III structure immediately slid forward silently under his control.
This is the 'stealth action' ability of the sword wielder, similar to the similar abilities of thieves and rangers, but it is slightly weaker and has no growth potential - this is also a common problem with flexible construction.
Fortunately, combat craftsmen do not pursue specialization.
However, he found that it was a bit difficult for him to control this thing. The complexity of this thing could be said to be beyond any flexible structure he had ever manipulated before - even including Sylvide's fairy doll Mei Mei.
Of course, this is not to say that the goblin does not live up to its name.
It's just that although the requirements for computing power of the goblin construction are higher than those of ordinary flexible construction, it is not to the extent that it ignores the level.
In Aitaria, a natural rule is - the higher the demand level for a flexible structure, the more complex its manipulation will naturally be. The goblin construct is a very special type of construct, which itself has no level. The complexity of its manipulation depends on the 'number of targets' and 'target level' it is linked to in battle.
This is like saying that the computing power required to link the Clockwork Goblin through the Goblin Construct is naturally much lower than the computing power required to link the Annihilator.
At that time, Fang Yu was only assisting Hongye through Mei Mei, and he only controlled the Annihilator's flame ray unit, which involved quite a bit of trickery.
Moreover, the reason why fairy construction is out of reach for ordinary people is because fairy gems are not sensitive to the chooser system, so the computing power attribute provided by the chooser system is often very ineffective when controlling fairy construction.
In the case where the attributes themselves are equal to none, the selector is required to have extremely strong personal ability to control this type of flexible construction. This is naturally difficult for ordinary selectors to reach the sky, but for a freak like Fang Plover who has been swimming around for six months without a system——
In reality, there isn't much difference.
But the Walker Type III is different. Its basic level is a bit too high for him (normally it is level 10/the minimum computing power requirement is 155, and the Clockwork Fairy is 45), and the basic level is too high. Level often means real computing power requirements——
In Aitaria, when the computing power attribute of the chosen combat craftsman is not enough to control a flexible structure, there are usually only two choices.
First, use plug-ins and equipment to reduce demands or improve one's own abilities, just like what Fang Piao saw Wu Di and Liu Liyue do at Traveler's Rest.
But these equipment are usually very rare and expensive. If the chosen combat craftsman does not have the financial strength, then he can only rely on himself.
This is the origin of the second possibility - to compensate for the system's computing power gap through its own calculation and manipulation capabilities.
For the selectors, it is often said that at the fourth or fifth level, the computing power that can compensate for about 10% of the system is already above the level.
Therefore, a Chosen Combat Craftsman who can dual control two clockwork elves (25 computing power) at this level can often be considered an excellent level.
Those who are more outrageous can even use their own operations and calculations to replace more than 30% of the system's computing power. At this level, they can barely achieve three controls. They are basically geniuses in major guilds. A level for future rising stars.
Fang Yu had calculated his own level, and he didn't know if he had made a mistake, because with all his strength, if he controlled the clockwork fairy, he could barely achieve more than five controls - that is, he could make up for 100% through his own manipulation. sixty computing power.
However, different flexible structures have different difficulty in compensating computing power. Generally speaking, the more complex the structure, the lower the compensation ratio. Of course, it is also related to the proficiency - like when he first controlled the 'Sword Plover', the compensation The proportion is only a little over 30%.
And this 'Sword Holder' is even lower.
Only 26 percent.
In fact, the remaining computing power also requires (62) points, which is higher than his own computing power attribute. But fortunately he still has Miss Tata.
With the blessing of the fairy structure, the computing power can be increased by another 30% to a level of around 70 points. In this way, after one addition and one subtraction, there are still more than ten points of computing power left, so when he takes action with all his strength, Falling down can also force this three-position walker to move.
However, generally speaking, a certain margin must be left when controlling flexible construction, because both the overload state and the use of skills require additional computing power. This margin of about ten points is equivalent to a Walker III. , that is, in a state of being better than, barely able to move.
Fang Yu scratched his head. This was because the level was too low. He couldn't help but sigh - for him now, upgrading is indeed the first priority.
He only glanced at the most important basic attributes and survival attributes, and then closed the page.
As for the core attributes, what is ultimately needed is the output power and cooling system. However, the crystal originally used by the Walker III is above D level. In fact, the α crystal reduces the ability of the 'sword wielder', so Nothing to see either.
On the contrary, Fang Yu felt that his need for β crystal was becoming more and more urgent.
After the experiment was completed, he whispered in his heart: "Miss Tata?"
The previous preparations wasted a little time. There were other people who could be seen in the Clockwork Goblin's field of vision before, but now everyone should have entered the area of Hostings Cathedral before him, and they have long disappeared. trace.
"Here I am, Mr. Knight."
Meimei knelt down quietly on the ground according to the habit of the fairy lady, put her small hands on her skirt, and after listening to Fang Plover's words, she tilted her head and looked at him.
Fang Yu reached out and said, "Ready to take action."
Miss Goblin stood up holding his big hand and asked in a clear voice: "Are you ready?"
Fang Plover nodded.
The latter flew up gently and then landed on his shoulder.
Fang Yu then withdrew the sword-wielding man into the information space, then judged the direction through the clockwork goblins on the periphery, and carefully reached out from the bushes.
If he hadn't missed something, there should be no one within a few hundred meters of him. The faint light of torches in the distant mist seemed to indicate this.
But what he was worried about was the secret whistle of the Dragon Worship Cult.
During such an operation, as long as the manpower shortage is not severe, the Chosen Guild of Aitalia will usually place one or two layers of hidden sentries on the periphery.
The Chosen One learned this skill from the aborigines, so it can be seen that the Dragon Worship Cult will almost certainly arrange secret sentries.
Although he has a clockwork fairy, the problem with the clockwork fairy is that he needs to see it to confirm whether it exists. At best, this thing can only allow him to see further, but it may not necessarily allow him to see clearly.
To put it bluntly, he has no investigative skills.
And not only that, there might be a risk of being exposed. In that case, he would have no choice but to abandon his pawn to save his commander. For a combat craftsman to act alone, retracting the Clockwork Elf to lure the enemy to his side is one of the most unwise choices.
Based on this, he imagined several possibilities in advance, and then made several corresponding plans.
But what Fang Yu didn't expect was that before any of his plans could be put into use, the situation was already a little beyond his expectation——
The avenue outside the hazelnut forest had no cover nearby, so Fang Plover never dared to get close to it.
He kept walking along the bushes on one side of the road, but before he had gone far, a crisp gunshot came from the woods.
The sound of the gunshot scared Fang Plover and almost jumped up.
If he hadn't heard the sound of Sylvide's magic gun before, which was completely different from the sound of this gunshot, he almost thought that the noble lady was up to something again.
However, when he looked in that direction, he found that the direction of the gunfire was obviously not the direction where the Dragon Worshipers were. He couldn't help but be stunned, and then thought of another possibility.
Now in this illusion, the gunfighter recruiter he has seen the most is undoubtedly the recruiter of the Dragon Fire Guild.
And that direction seems to be the direction where Haggerston Cemetery is located.
But what makes Fang Yu a little strange is, who asked the people from the Dragon Fire Guild to fire? Sylvester, Parker, and Hongye were all in front of him. In theory, it was impossible to encounter anyone from the Dragon Fire Guild. Fang Plover felt a sudden change in his heart when he thought of this, and quickly sent a message to Tianlan and Jita.
Fortunately, news came quickly from there. The two little girls said that they were well hidden and safe, so he didn't need to worry.
However, the two of them mentioned that Miss Attila's condition was getting worse and worse, and there was a lot of worry in their words.
Although Fang Yu was also worried about the elf girl, at least nothing happened to Jita and Tianlan for now, which made him relieved. At the same time, I became more and more curious - was the person who shot over there really someone from the Dragon Fire Guild? Who were they attacking?
Several possibilities flashed through his mind, including the straggler Dict and the man wearing the mask.
But when he looked back, he saw an incredible scene.
He saw that in that direction in the forest, intensive gunshots rang out again, and tracer bullets drew several golden lines of fire. The firelight not only illuminates the shooter, but also the target of their attack.
As he expected, the attacking party was someone from the Dragon Fire Guild. Not only did he see the eldest sister, he also saw Twenty, but this time it was not these two people who were commanding.
It was another young man he had never seen before.
But these were not enough to surprise him. What really surprised him was the person the Dragon Fire Guild was attacking.
Although it was just a sudden appearance, Fang Yu still saw the face of the panicked girl clearly.
That's Shizu.
But why is she here?
…
