Slot, Heart of Machine Rune Device...
It can be said that when these two things are placed in front of any rune expert or legendary wizard, there will be no association with strengthening and improving the strength of the mechanical undead.
But in Wei En's view, this very small change is enough to affect the entire world of the undead, and even the mechanical puppet system and mechanical transformation and strengthening system of the Mechanical School will be subverted.
That is--
Wei En took out a palm-sized metal plate that he had prepared in advance, pointed at the dense rune patterns on it, and said: "This is my first rune array card. It is engraved with the words that the Fourth Era Mechanical School likes very much. The rune array used - the Iron Heart Fury Array."
[Iron-Hearted Fury] was the first mechanical puppet blueprint he learned. The Iron-Hearted Fury Array imprinted in it had only two rune effects, Solid Heart and Furious Explosion.
The metal plate he held in his hand was engraved with the Iron Heart Fury Array.
"Array board?" Teresa looked at Wei En in the center of the illusory screen and asked doubtfully: "Director, there is a room in this castle specifically for engraving rune arrays. You seem to be just shrinking the array. Already?"
In her understanding, the size of the rune array does not affect its effect, but the increase in nodes and lines will indeed amplify the power of the array, and there is no other difference.
Without explaining, Wei En casually inserted the rune array card into the groove on the zombie's chest through the bone prison.
? ? ?
Teresa and others watched his movements and looked at each other in confusion.
"What is this doing?"
"Just put it in?"
Krista's eyes widened as she suddenly thought of a possibility, "Director, you, you... no, no, you can't, right?"
At this time, the mechanical heart rune device on the zombie's chest suddenly shot out two dazzling rays of light, one of which was transmitted in reverse direction to the original core of its head, and the other went downwards and penetrated into the groove. No, to be precise, It fell on the card with the Iron Heart Fury Array engraved on it.
Snapped!
Wei En snapped his fingers, turned his head and gestured to the zombie: "Strong Heart."
"Snapped!"
The zombie saw the smile on his face and understood it, and the original core power flowed into the groove in the rune device of the mechanical heart.
During the flash of light, a faint halo enveloped its body.
Escobar's eyes widened: "Fuck..."
Adolph waved his tentacles, expressing his confusion, "What the hell?"
"You, you..." Teresa opened her mouth wide, pointed at the zombie on the screen, and asked in surprise: "Director, have you engraved a new magic circle on it?"
"It's not the engraving, it's the board, it's the board of the rune circle that the director just put in!" Osana suddenly moved closer, her eyes tightly pressed against the black communicator, her expression vaguely excited.
"This..." Osel muttered to himself, "I have only seen rune masters engraving rune arrays on fixed positions, such as steam cars, steam ships, large buildings, etc., but they are not like those produced by the director. This has such a big impact on me..."
"That is to say..."
Before they could continue to say anything, Wei En took over and nodded: "In other words, in addition to the original engraved magic circles and runes, the mechanical part of the mechanical undead can also be equipped with new ones through this area. Rune array to achieve the purpose of enhancement."
"And this is the third arrangement I want to talk about - the research on the rune array board!"
Previously, after realizing that he could not complete the set project goals, he was thinking about how to improve the strength of the mechanical undead.
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a good solution. It wasn't until yesterday evening when Menor contacted him through the black deacon identity card that he suddenly had a sudden idea - he could install an additional rune array device in the machine body. .
In order to increase the combat effectiveness of the mechanical undead, the additional rune array can be made flexible and detachable.
For example, if you encounter an elemental wizard, you can install a forbidden magic circle similar to that used by Huberto. If you encounter an extraordinary person with the characteristics of plague poison, you can choose a poison-immune magic circle or a purification magic circle accordingly.
In this way, you can choose different rune array cards to deal with different environments or enemies, thus making the role of the mechanical undead more extensive.
"I will send you the detailed design drawings of the Mechanical Heart rune device together with the planning plan later. In the following time, you can rest and study the structure of the drawings to see if there are any ways to improve it, or look for Other more suitable rune arrays."
Seeing the surprise and shock on their faces, Wei En also gained confidence in his sudden inspiration.
Originally, I wanted to study the subject of mechanical undead, just to solve Sharapova's physical problems and further improve her strength.
Later, after obtaining the identity of "Controller of Death" through the undead transformation spell, he had a bigger plot against the mechanical undead.
Up to now, the research on the project is more than halfway progressed, and the future of the mechanical undead is clearer, and with the blessing of the rune array board...
I believe that when the future project is completed, the power of the legendary mechanical undead will definitely surprise everyone.
Especially for those ghost wizards who are good at transforming the undead and the wizards of the mechanical school, I hope they can withstand the impact from the new father of the mechanical undead!
After a long silence, Teresa took a step forward, pulled Osana behind her, looked at Wayne in the center of the illusory screen and bowed: "Thanks to the director for his trust, this improvement is enough to record us in the history of the Ghost School. .”
"Or," Escobar's expression changed, "The director is qualified to leave a message on the inheritance handbook and be remembered by all wizards."
"Wizard's Codex?"
Several other wizards became excited when they thought of that possibility. If that were the case, then they, the researchers at the Wynn Research Institute, would also be mentioned together.
"Okay, let's not talk about other things for now. You guys have a good rest first." Seeing that their expressions were getting more and more excited, Wei En had to interrupt their thoughts again.
"I understand, Director!"
"Thank you, Mr. Director!"
"..."
"Do you have any other questions?"
Compared with what they thought about being remembered by the wizard, leaving a message in the wizard's notebook, etc., Wei En had a bigger and deeper plot.
These days, in addition to improving his strength and doing research experiments related to the project, he spent the rest of his time making a sandbox with a simple map of the four continents and the Cordo Sea.
On it, he not only marked the organizations and forces of each continent, but also calculated the people in the Kordo Sea who could take action against the Twilight Sect.
According to his speculation, given the vastness of the Kordo Sea, even if some wizards from the four wizarding schools of Ghost, Spirit Mystery, Shadow and Blood Spirit, together with the Eternal Life Society and the Black Pearl, could only occupy at most one-fifth of the territory in a short period of time. One sea area.
Oh, and here we have to include the Manatee tribe that Menor just notified, they will also take action against the Twilight Sect people in the Cordo Sea.
Based on this calculation, excluding those forbidden seas and some sea areas that few people pass through, the Twilight Sect can reclaim at least one-third of the sea area of "Garmendia's Dream".
Therefore, after discussing with Menor, Wei En decided to add another fire and let the wizards of the Mechanical School join in the encirclement and suppression of the Twilight Sect.
And the board with the rune array pattern engraved on it was the gift he prepared for the Mechanical School - compared to the mechanical undead, the rune array board improved the Mechanical School even more!
Not only those wizards who choose mechanical transformation and strengthening, but also the numerous mechanical puppets that the Mechanical School desires more.
If they don't agree with this, then he can only choose to expose the existence of Type Zero and choose to use the "Cornerstone (Death)" rune in exchange.
However, Wei En did not want to provide the method of creating mechanical life unless it was absolutely necessary, especially he did not want the wizards of the Mechanical School to know about it.
Because that would greatly enhance the strength of the Mechanical School!
Everything is to give a big gift to the Twilight Sect - I hope the "Lord of Real Slaughter" McAllister will like this gift!
"Yes!" Teresa looked at the others, "Director, can I submit that phased research report to Dean Josue today?"
Wei En was stunned, "Aren't you going to take a rest? There's no need to be in such a hurry about the report, right?"
"That's right," Teresa raised her gold-rimmed glasses, "You've been focusing on research these days, and there's something I didn't report to you."
"whats the matter?"
"Do you still remember what I mentioned to you before, about the Shadow School coming for academic exchanges and wizard competitions? Yesterday they arrived at the Ice Castle Research Center."
Wayne nodded, "Remember, what next?"
"This morning, during the academic exchange, they produced a research report and said that if we can produce an equivalent research report, we will win."
Teresa looked a little unhappy, "At noon, Dean Josue said that what they came up with was research on the fusion of wizards' original characteristics, and the technology was very mature. We don't have a corresponding research report here for the time being... …”
"Huh? Fusion of original characteristics?" Wei En's heart suddenly moved, "What does it look like?"
He suddenly thought of the thirteen faces he had seen in the original world before. They should be a case of fusion of original characteristics, right?
If he could know the implementation process of that research report, wouldn't he be able to deduce the reason for the appearance of the giant trees and strange aberrations in the original world?
This is better than waiting passively!
"The other party did not announce the specific content of the report. They only said that they would give us three days. After three days, Tutor Boras and the tutor from the other school will compare the value of the two research reports."
"Three days later..."
Wayne thought for a few seconds and made a decision, "I agree. Submit the phased research report, um... plus the research on the rune array board and the mechanical heart rune device."
If the research on the fusion of original characteristics is really successful, then the value of a single mechanical undead transformation plan is not enough, and only further improvement plans can be added.
"As long as you agree, I'll talk to the dean right now."
"Um."
Wei En nodded. Seeing that nothing was missing, he immediately closed the communicator channel and prepared to pack up and meet Ronan and the others outside.
It had been nearly a month since he last landed on Darkman Island, and he hadn't set foot on land for a while. He just took advantage of this opportunity to repair the ship and go out for a walk.
Looking at Teresa and others after the illusory screen closed, they cheered completely.
"We... are so lucky!"
"I feel more and more that it was a very stupid act for Senior Benoy to be fired from the institute due to his previous objection to the director."
"Hahaha, let's not mention him first, I can't help but want to see such a scene..."
Teresa also had a smile on her face. Although she was physically and mentally exhausted at this time, she was still very happy with the progress of the institute's project.
"Okay, I will arrange the celebration after a few days of rest. Next, we will prepare according to the instructions of the director. Krista, Osana, please cooperate with me and try to deliver the stage research report tonight. Abbot Josue."
Osana nodded, "Senior sister, let me sort out the previous experimental records."
"Then I will be responsible for organizing the experimental records on Mechanical Undead No. 1." Krista clenched her fists.
"Okay, I will be responsible for the rest of the summary and overview, as well as the mechanical heart rune device, um... Senior Escobar, I will leave this part to you."
"no problem."
After arranging the research report, Teresa breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the remaining two people, and said thoughtfully: "Adolph and Senior Auxerre, your task is not easy either. After you have a good rest, we will start Can I prepare the information for the rune array?"
"Of course," Adolphe shook his twisted tentacles, and his scarlet eyes widened a little, "I don't need to rest."
"Me too." Osel glanced at him and agreed.
"It's better to rest as much as possible."
Teresa reminded her but didn't pay much attention.
Of these two wizards, one is a deformed wizard who combines pollution characteristics, and the other is a plague wizard who has been transformed by plague poisons all year round. Compared with wizards of other systems, their physical strength is much higher.
Even the wizards of the occult system cannot match them in terms of combat durability without choosing blood spirit enhancement and mechanical transformation.
"Okay, everyone, after researching the subject so far, I believe that no one among us will doubt Director Wei En's ability anymore, let alone regret joining Research Institute No. 66. Therefore..."
At this point, Teresa paused and glanced around, "I hope you can be like me and devote more to this institute. At the same time, during the break, don't do anything to discredit the director's face. "
“Senior Teresa, don’t worry!”
"Senior, don't worry, I understand..."
…
…
within the theater space.
After Wei En sent the planning plan and some experimental records back to the institute through the blue and white box, he simply packed it up and left the studio.
"Wayne, lunch is ready." Sharapova was waiting at the door of the studio as always, saying respectfully like a maid.
"Um."
Wayne nodded and came to sit down at the dining table, looking at the busy Pafula and the white-haired girl who was studying honestly, "I will stay outside for a few days in the next few days, do you want to come with me? "
"Tina, okay." The white-haired girl was the first to raise her hand in response, and the parchment she had read several times flew away.
"Me," after Miss Zombie sat down, her intact pale eyes moved to Wei En, and she hesitated before saying, "I'll stay."
Even though so much time has passed, she still cares about the parts of her body that have been mechanically modified. She is familiar with people in the theater space. Fortunately, outside...
"I, I, I..."
When Pafula heard this, she didn't even care about the ingredients she was preparing. She ran over with a knife and stared at Wei En with a longing look on her face.
She had been "imprisoned" in this theater for almost a month, and even with her piety, she was about to start complaining that the Great Dawn had forgotten her.
"Wizard Wayne, can you take me with you?"
"Sorry," Wei En looked at her bright eyes, shook his head and said, "I didn't ask you."
"I haven't been out for a long time, and here..."
Pafula clenched her fists. If she hadn't been worried that one punch would indirectly kill hundreds of Dawn believers, she would have really wanted to punch the evil wizard a few times.
But she was really bored to death.
It was okay to have Claire around before, and we could still chat from time to time. We could also stay there for a while while delivering food to the training area, and try to guide the poor guards on the path of faith in the dawn.
But after she is gone, she can only face Tina and Sawa...
Of these two people, one was a cold-tempered and dangerous girl, and the other was an undead creature that didn't even need to eat. There was nothing to talk about with her.
"impossible."
Wei En calmly ate the delicious fish fillets on his plate, as if he didn't hear her words.
Unless he was crazy, he would choose to take the candidate saint of Dawn Church out for a stroll.
Not to mention whether this would expose his position, Pafula's identity alone was destined to cause riots among the Dawn Church believers on the island.
Pavla looked at Tina and Sawa next to her, and felt discouraged. These two people were very close to the evil wizard, and it was impossible for them to speak for her.
"Then, can I make a small request?"
"As long as it's not taking you out or doing anything that will attract the attention of Dawn Church, it's fine."
Pafula sat at the dining table, leaned a little closer, clasped her hands together and said, "Then please, can you help me bring some reading materials in from outside?"
"Readings?" Wei En was stunned and looked at her in surprise, "What do you mean by readings? It can't be the teachings of Dawn Church, right?"
"No, no, it's just like..."
The expression on Pafla's face was tangled, and she couldn't be said to be the kind-hearted Delia or the evil wizard. She said with a sigh: "You know the kind between the knight and the princess, right?"
Knights and Princesses, reading?
"Are you talking about the kind of knight who seduces noble ladies?"
There was a strange flash in the depths of Wei En's eyes, as if he was meeting this blond girl who had obtained some of the power of good authority for the first time.
She actually likes to watch "the princess is kidnapped by the evil dragon, and the knight goes through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to rescue"?
"Big, probably similar..." Pavla felt guilty for a while, and almost lowered her head to the hanging clock, "I, I can't do anything here..."
"Okay, I agree."
Although Wei En did not understand the thoughts of this kind and powerful candidate saint, this did not prevent him from agreeing to her request.
How about buying more, like the evil wizard imprisoning the saint, and then... something like that?
Gee, I hope she will like this type of legendary story!
"real?"
"certainly."
"Thank you so much!" Pafula stood up happily, returned to the kitchen utensils, and happily prepared lunch for the guards.
As long as there are things to see, it doesn't matter how long you stay here.
Hum, after Lady Celestia rescues her and leaves, she can get rid of the control of the evil wizard.
When Wei En saw her like this, he couldn't help but shook his head, hoping that this was not a sequelae of being imprisoned for too long.
Otherwise, if the Judgment Saint sees her like this, she will probably swear to hunt him down to the end.
Not long after, Wayne finished his lunch and finally told Sharapova and Zero to watch the theater, then left the theater space with Little White Hair and returned to the Leonard.
"Captain, we're docking soon."
While Ronan controlled the rudder, he asked Helvin and the others to lower the sails and lower the anchor, and docked steadily at the port of Alexei Island.
"Um."
Wei En took Tina's hand and came to the bow of the ship, looking at the city-state not far away.
Covered by spiritual perception, he could detect that the tall city wall was guarded by a rune array, and he could not sense the situation inside from the outside.
But he had a general understanding of the basic situation of the island.
The area is the size of two Castor city-states. Two-thirds of the area is the city-state located in the center of the island. The rest of the area belongs to the port and shops near the sea. It is not as bloody as I have seen on Duckman Island before. chapel.
Or, there are some secrets in that city-state... He still needs to explore further.
"Captain, dock the Leonard here for now. After we communicate with the repair shop, they will arrange for someone to transport the ship into the dock." After the ship stopped, Ronan came over and said, said.
"Yeah." Wayne nodded, "Do you know anything about this place?"
"I've been here several times before, so I know the conditions inside fairly well,"
Ronan motioned for others to quickly clean up the cabin and deck, and introduced: "Alexei Island is a trading island protected by the Black Pearl. Most of the people coming and going are merchant ships or pirate ships from various extraordinary families."
"There are several captains of the Black Pearl taking turns on the island, and the rules in that Alexei city-state will also be adjusted as their personnel change."
"Oh?" Wei En raised his eyebrows, "You mean, after the captains who serve as the governors of the city-state are changed, the laws and regulations in the city-state will be changed accordingly?"
"Yes," Ronan nodded, "This is what it means when applied to the city-states on the mainland."
"This is interesting... tell me, what's the difference?"
After the pirates packed up the things on the ship, Wei En jumped off the Leonard with Tina in his arms, and Ronan also waved for the people behind to follow.
"'One-Eyed' Eldorad Walls is a gunner of the Black Pearl. He has a rough personality. When he is on duty, he will randomly select people from different pirate groups to enter the arena for life-or-death battles."
While walking out of the port, Ronan continued to introduce: "But he is drunk most of the time, so there are not many opportunities like this."
"Flanda Carneiro, 'Pretty Hands', was originally the ship's doctor of the Black Pearl. Later, she made a mistake and was sent here by Jack's first mate. If it were her turn to serve as the governor of the city-state, she would kind of hard."
"oh?"
Wei En's face showed some interest. The one-eyed one was already very interesting. What would happen to this beautiful hand?
"It is rumored that she likes handsome men very much, so..." Ronan glanced at Wei En and laughed softly: "Just like the captain, if she finds out, she will invite you to dinner."
"Then what?"
"Then those who had dined with her volunteered to stay on the island and become companions in the palace she built."
Wayne: "..."
Partner, isn't this a lover?
"Is there anything else?"
"The last one is the 'Slayer' Honatan Kirkland. Compared with the previous two, Honatan likes those who cause trouble on the island very much. If he catches them, he will torture them to death."
"It sounds like they are all well-behaved 'duty people'." Wei En commented.
"..." Ronan didn't know how he could tell that these people abided by the rules, but he still reminded: "In addition to these points of attention, private fighting, church preaching, and anything that harms other people is prohibited on this island. .”
"Gone?"
"Gone!"
"I understand, let's go." Wei En looked at the pirates following behind him and gestured: "Let them go and play independently. They don't have to follow them all the time. Just let me know if anything happens."
"clear."
Ronan waved to Helvin and the others to go play separately, while he continued to lead Wen to the city-state to find repair shops that could repair large ships.
"Great, we can finally go play. See you in three days!"
"Only three days? Five days. In five days, you come to this tavern to find me again."
"Assholes, stay out of trouble!"
"Got it, boatswain!"
Boatswain Helvin laughed and cursed a few times, then he also found a tavern, waved the gold pound he had prepared earlier, and entered the room with an enthusiastic girl at the door...
Wei En, who sensed all this, secretly pouted, these bastards are so rude, they are so direct!
The captain hasn't found a place to stay temporarily yet!
"Another large pirate ship has arrived on the island. Hurry over there. If it's too late, other taverns will take it in!"
"Quickly..."
"Hey? Have you seen that one?"
"who?"
"That one next to the triangular eye seems to be the deformed wizard who robbed the 'Cowardly Purple Flower Family' before! It is said that he even rejected the Black Pearl's invitation!"
"It's him. It seems that I heard the 'One-Eyed' man on the island talking about it before. I didn't expect him to come here. Now I have fun watching it."
"Ha ha……"
oh?
His mental perception brought back the comments of passing sailors or pirates around him, and Wei En's face changed slightly.
It seems like the next days on the island will be interesting?
