Chapter 303 Arcana Arm and Soul Realm
The roars emitted by the fiery red and huge humanoid machinery gradually subsided.
Follow.
The cockpit protective cover located in the center slowly rises.
A tiny figure ejected from it—
That was a short, flat-chested girl wearing a metal helmet.
Bobo's figure drew a melodious parabola in mid-air.
Before a sharp fall.
A small umbrella suddenly flew out from behind her. The small umbrella swayed and slowed down her speed.
After a while.
Long blue flames also appeared under Bobo's 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 must use the first three sentences to praise a lady when you meet her.”
She came to Matthew, tiptoeing proudly.
Matthew smiled:
"very beautiful."
“Very shocking.”
“Well, the legs are also very long.”
Bobo immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this:
“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 ladies—BUMP!”
“Remember this word, in Bobo language, it means the best!”
BUMP?
Matthew repeated it.
Bobo immediately turned back to him 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..."
Let go of the tough lines and wild and unrestrained aesthetics of the humanoid machinery.
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!”
Thinking of this.
Matthew couldn't help but ask:
“Have you found that copy of “Machines, Fire Dragons and Titans”?”
Bobo shook his head:
"No."
“However, the vice-president of the Huo Sisterhood 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 Palace of Wisdom 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!"
Bobo put his hands on his hips, his face full of pride.
Matthew also showed an expression of honor:
“She does look great.”
“But then again, you are now the chief artificer of World War?”
Bobo waved his hand:
“This is not worth mentioning.”
"Because there was an accident before 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 that these represent excitement and joy respectively.
“…In short, the Lady can perfectly adapt to most combat scenarios in the sky and on land.”
“In the hands of a suitable pilot, a dragon is to her what a wild boar is to a human armed to the teeth!”
Bobo summed it up this way.
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.
Only for a moment.
Goosebumps were rising all over his body.
Matthew noticed.
This mecha is spiritual.
His spiritual level is higher than most units in the cemetery, only a little worse than the soldiers!
“The artificer'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 for a slight bulge on the belly and on both arms near the shoulders.
Those are three dragon heads.
According to Bobo, the lady can freely switch into seven fire dragon forms with different emphasis.
In the form of a fire dragon.
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's 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 wouldn't these legs be a bit too long in human form?”
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.
An expression of sudden realization appeared in an instant.
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 chatted:
“Today is the day for the first public test of Lady, and it is also the day for the World War to practice on the Yunshang Plateau.”
“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..."
Drills?
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.
Soon 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 dumbly:
“You won't tell them when you look back that the evil enemy is me, right?”
Bobo smiled.
She did not answer Matthew's question directly, but patted her belly with both hands through the 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!”
Two people 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 is not here.
He had to go to the kitchen to tinker with something himself -
Heat some milk, fry some sausages, and make some mushroom noodles.
Although Matthew doesn't cook often, his cooking skills are actually pretty 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.
On the table were only the plates that had been licked clean.
“Is the food in World Warfare bad?”
Matthew asked curiously.
Bobo thought for a while:
“Machinists don't pay attention to good 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.
They consume energy in a different way than we do.
The situation with Cyberosaurs is similar. Although gnomes can eat, they still eat stones directly in most cases. "
“Sometimes after being with them for a long time, 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 herself does not seem to realize this yet.
After a full meal.
Bobo's condition is obviously much better.
Looking less reserved than before:
“By the way, where is that funny uncle?”
“He should be near your house too, right?”
Matthew thought for a while.
Bobo should refer to Rhaegar.
So he corrected him seriously:
“Rhaegar is the lord of Rolling Stone, and he is about to become the king of Rolling Stone Kingdom.”
“I admit that he is quite funny sometimes, but I'd better not use the term “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 his hand and made a polite gesture of prohibition:
“Just call him Rhaegar.”
Leaving the kitchen, Matthew took Bobo for a stroll in the cemetery.
After eating and drinking.
The artificer's desire for new things cannot 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 resisted injecting mana into these things.
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 was trying 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 basement level.
The two of them looked back.
But these two figures still came down the stairs with snow-white bodies on their bodies.
These two people are a man and a woman. The man has a broken arm and the woman is indifferent. They are Lumiere and Laila who have returned from the rain forest.
“Matthew, what happened in the cemetery? We just encountered 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 firmer.
“It's all settled.”
"No one blames me. The families of those dead soldiers told me that they were mentally prepared 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 am still the king of the rainforest.”
“I will fulfill my promise to them all.”
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 of pressure from Gai Lan.
Now she is freed from Galan and becomes Matthew's disciple, which is equivalent to truly gaining freedom.
The mental state is naturally different.
Matthew can feel it.
Laila's strength has improved a lot compared to before!
Think about it carefully, as the other party's extraterritorial sect, Matthew has not given Laila any abilities.
This is obviously a bit derelict.
“Go back and find a useful ability for her to give first.”
“Spells are actually okay. After all, her melee strength is already very good. With some ability-based spells, she can have a surprising effect.”
While Matthew and Laila were talking.
Bobo noticed Lumière's empty sleeves:
“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's dead.”
“Is that so?”
Bobo's face looked thoughtful. 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 in that battle, Lumière lost his right hand.”
“I would like 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 about to recommend a solution to you, but I'm afraid you are resistant to robotic arms.”
Lumière 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 expectation.
But he was still a little nervous and asked:
“Approximately how much will it cost?”
Bobo thought for a while:
“Tens of thousands is enough.”
Lumiere frowned subconsciously.
Matthew waved his hand:
"Money is not a problem. There is a war dividend that has not been paid to you before. It is more than enough to buy a mechanical arm."
Lumière gave Matthew a deep look.
He seemed to want to say something, but finally held back.
"money is not a problem."
Matthew emphasized:
“Safety is the first priority, followed by quality and power.”
Bobo slapped his chest and said:
“The arcane arm of this solution 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 discard 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, and if the compatibility is high, it may even be 25 points! With this module, you can easily lift any weapon or heavy object with your arcane arms..."
"I remember there is another 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 eject 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 content 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.”
Lumiere thought for a while and said:
“But I don't need the self-destruction 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 has lost its soul!”
Lumiere hesitated and said:
“But what if it suddenly explodes while I'm sleeping?”
Bobo thought for a while:
“Can you sleep less and thereby reduce 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.”
Speaking, he handed over the pen and paper.
Bobo took the quill and immediately started drawing on the blank papyrus.
She explained the details of the arcane arm in detail as she spoke.
quickly.
Her drawings filled up a piece of paper.
Matthew hurriedly fetched the second one.
During this process.
Matthew realized that Bobo had great drawing skills.
Her freehand drawings are extremely precise and very close to proportion.
I don't know if this is an artificer's ability.
It is still Bobo's unique talent.
quickly.
Drawings showing various cross-sections of the robotic arm appeared in front of Mathieu and Lumière.
Bobo asked while drawing:
“What weapons do you usually like to use?”
Lumière replied:
“With bare hands.”
“Occasionally use a blow dart.”
Bobo shook his head:
“The blow dart is 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 boot 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 she turned to look at Lumiere:
“Then you can definitely become a Titan Technician!”
Lumière was completely stunned:
“What is a Titan?”
“What is a technician?”
Matthew looked on and wanted to laugh.
It can only be said that his way of thinking is unconstrained and unconstrained.
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 seems to be aware of this.
She calculated quickly on the last piece of paper.
“I should be able to get the 120,000 gold coins.”
“Comes with three warranty periods for important accessories and five replacements for general small accessories.”
Bobo handed the piece of paper to Matthew.
Matthew nodded repeatedly after reading it.
Bobo is really loyal.
The labor fee is not confiscated at all.
The price given is completely the cost price.
She might even make a small loss!
“One hundred and thirty thousand.”
Matthew quoted his price.
Bobo didn't negotiate the price at all and just nodded readily.
Lumiere breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a hint of expectation in his eyes, as if he was already looking forward to the life after regaining his arm.
However, at this time.
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 were gleaming, looking full of prayer:
“Are you really not going to add a self-destruct function?”
Lumiere sighed and asked:
“If I refuse.”
“Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Bobo immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice:
“If you reject me, I won't be able to sleep today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!”
Matthew 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 prevent arms 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.”
ˆ 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 after confirming, right?”
"Don't worry, I will try 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, but it's probably equivalent to a legendary level evocation spell, right?”
Lumière nodded vigorously:
“That's it!”
Matthew looked at Lumiere with some surprise.
Seeing that the latter's eyes were firm.
He said nothing more.
However, at this time.
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 I saw Bobo being honest and clasping his hands behind his back.
There was a look of embarrassment on his face.
“Is it too late to regret now?”
Lumiere asked Mathieu after realizing what had happened.
Matthew patted his shoulder sympathetically, and then waved everyone away.
Night falls.
Tonight Rhaegar will hold the official dinner of the Mudong Festival in the town.
Because the participants were all ordinary dignitaries of the future Rolling Stone Kingdom, Matthew did not participate.
Populo and Lumière went over to join in the fun.
Peggy's hide-and-seek contest is still going on.
There was a dead silence in the cemetery.
Except for the fact that Qiuka, who was responsible for finding people, bubbled up in Matthew's field of vision from time to time.
The rest of the participating units all hid.
Matthew took this opportunity to recruit the ghost Ali who did not participate in the competition.
In a workshop with a closed door.
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 profession.
For any soul body, the Ghost Archon is an irresistible temptation.
What's more, Ali knew Matthew quite well.
I know that the latter's character will never deceive me.
"good."
Ali answered 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..."
While speaking.
Matthew picked up the silver knife on the table.
He stroked towards Ali lightly.
With the help of a spiritual weapon.
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 time.
A familiar feeling came over him.
His vision went dark.
Then the surrounding scenes were changing rapidly—
The next second.
Matthew then noticed that the surrounding scene had turned pitch black.
It seemed 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, this coffin board can't hold me down anymore!”
Matthew glanced at the data column.
“Tips: 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..."
