Chapter 190: The Feasibility of the Puppet Army
After sailing at full speed for a day and a night.
The speed of Sound of Dawn finally returned to normal.
Fortunately, the concentration of magic power here is extremely high. Even if we sail at full speed for a day and a night, we can still absorb the surrounding magic power for replenishment.
Alka and the others don't need to worry about it.
Running at full speed for a day and a night is the limit that the Sound of Dawn can reach without causing any damage to itself.
It should be safe enough here.
The scenery on the blue ocean remains unchanged, but fortunately everyone on the boat has already gotten used to it.
They were even prepared to not encounter a single island.
If Alka had not discovered the dream bubbles of terrestrial creatures in his dream before, they might not have encountered any islands at all.
This should be the case based on their previous sailing route.
And Alka arrived at his manufacturing hall early.
At this time, he was communicating with Juanlu.
"If it is feasible, can we make a deformable rack that can be used for grilling as well as for pots?"
Hearing Juanlu's request, Alka nodded without thinking: "This request is quite simple, no problem."
"This stone has the ability to automatically absorb magic power. If I repair the surrounding spells, the automatically absorbed magic power should be able to keep it burning for most of the day."
"Then let's add a device that can adjust the fire power. It would be best if it is portable enough so that I can carry the stove with me at all times." Juanlu thought for a while and continued.
Alka thought about it and agreed with his idea. It was possible to make it. For him, such a production was not difficult, even very easy.
Juanlu left the manufacturing hall only after the conversation was almost over.
Alka looked at the stone in front of him.
I never thought that the first magic item I made would be a portable stove that I could carry with me.
Speaking of which, since Alka has the Precision Hand and the corresponding manufacturing technology plus some of the engraver's knowledge.
He has been studying the problem of Lucelia's body, and even modified the soul doll to create a puppet body.
If I think about it, it seems that I originally embarked on the career path of caster and engraver in order to create the earliest soul.
Fortunately, during the time spent making the puppet body, Alka's skills and craftsmanship were almost honed to a good level.
As a result, when he turned around and started making other magic items, it didn't seem difficult, but instead felt unusually easy.
Not long after Juanlu left, Alca was drawing a blueprint.
Jason just ran down, wearing the gloves that were given to him yesterday.
"Arka, here I come."
As he said this, he took off his gloves and handed them to Alka.
Alka stopped what he was doing and took the gloves. He had done some brief research yesterday and had a rough idea in his mind.
After thinking for a while, he said, "With my current skills and the spells we have, I can provide you with four options. Think about it and decide which one to choose."
The four types are:
A module capable of firing ice bombs, created with the [Cold] spell that Julia learned as the core.
A module capable of firing fire bombs was created based on the [Cross of Righteous Fire] spell that Alka first knew.
Using the previously acquired [Stealth] spell that allows a person to conceal their body as the core, a module was created that would make the fired magic bullets difficult to be detected.
With the [Armor Breaking] spell engraved on the bullet obtained from Bobby as the core, a module was created that can make the fired magic bullet have penetrating power.
"This is the module I can make now, and I can guarantee that there will be no problems. According to the configuration of this glove, there are probably only two options."
Hear the choice given by Alka.
Jason dragged out a bench next to him and sat on it, frowning as he thought.
After thinking for a long time, he stared at Alka.
Asked: "Can I have them all?"
Hearing this, Alka looked at him with dead eyes: "What do you think?"
"Okay..." Jason fell into deep thought again.
The main reason was that the four options Alka provided were so useful that he really didn't know which two to choose.
Each one is too tempting, and if you think about it casually, you can find countless matching scenes for each magic bullet.
But this is natural.
If the produced modules are useless, Alka will not think about it and come up with a solution.
Of course, only when the idea is useful and practical can a corresponding solution be given.
Looking at Jason's conflicted expression.
Alka thought for a moment and said, "How about I give you a plan."
This was a method that Alka had thought of before.
"What plan?" Jason looked up and asked.
"Choose the ice and fire modules. The spells used in these two modules are both relatively powerful and difficult. They are difficult to depict. The production modules will fit perfectly in the gloves."
"The remaining two spells are both relatively low-level and very easy to engrave. You can choose to use these two spells to make bullets and still make them have the effect of magic bullets.
I can teach you how to make it. Anyway, there is enough time now. Maybe you can make some useful ammunition for yourself by then ."
"How about it?"
After explaining his plan, Alka looked at Jason and asked.
Hearing Alka's words, Jason clenched his fist and hammered his palm without much thought.
"Okay, no problem, I'll do as you say."
"Anyway, you said before that I have to learn how to make the ammunition I want."
Alka seemed to have said this before. After all, he thought of this when he saw Jason's gun.
More bullets are like his cards, which can be used in more scenarios and deal with sufficiently dangerous scenarios.
"Okay, that's decided."
It’s not that the spells of ice and fire cannot be engraved on bullets, but the time and energy spent are not matched by the resulting product.
The main thing is that these two spells are of the more advanced types, and the other spells that can replace these two spells are all spells used in daily life.
It was too low-level, resulting in a gap in the middle.
To make these two types of advanced composition into modules, you only need to spend time making them once.
Anyway, modules are not consumables, so the effort you spend is proportional to what you gain.
"Are those the ones left over from when you made the body for Lucilia?"
Jason pointed to the large basket of discarded puppets behind Alka. This was his first time in the manufacturing hall.
Normally, only Alka, Lucilia, and Xiadeti come here.
Xia Deti would come, mainly to make interesting costumes with Lucelia.
After all, Lucelia's body is small now, so the difficulty of making clothes is greatly reduced.
Hearing Jason's words, Alka turned his head to look and nodded.
"Yes, they are all previous trial works. They are useless now."
"Are they all useless? I remember you spent a lot of materials when making these puppets."
You have to know that almost all of Alka’s extra wealth was invested in this.
What Jason didn't know was that in addition to Alka's, even Lucelia's wealth was invested in it.
Because Xia Daiti had a good relationship with Lucillia, he also gave a lot of funds.
The cost of these materials alone amounted to several hundred gold sails, which was definitely a huge sum of money.
Fortunately, they finally got the desired product, which was even better than they expected.
"It's useless, but it's not a loss to get what I wanted in the end. It's just a necessary expense."
Hearing Alka's words, Jason nodded: "It would be nice if it could be reused. What a shame."
Jason nodded with a slight regret, left his gloves on the table, said hello to Alka, and returned to the deck above.
Alka looked at the pile of discarded puppets.
"Reuse it..."
He muttered to himself, then refocused on the work at hand and began to draw the blueprint carefully.
…
Two days later, Alka was still in the manufacturing hall.
Of course, he did not neglect food and sleep. He ate and drank as usual.
However, apart from meditation and vigilance, he basically spends his time in the manufacturing hall.
He picked up the magic bullet launching glove, picked up a piece of blue crystal about the size of the little finger nail with tweezers, and slowly stuffed it in from a corner that had been disassembled.
The glove holding the tweezers shows precise hands. Wearing it can ensure that there will be no problems when doing this kind of extremely precise work.
The blue crystal was still slowly emitting cold mist, and as the tweezers were loosened, it remained firmly in the palm of the hand.
Seeing that there was no problem, Alka wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve.
Then he picked up another red crystal and stuffed it into the gap on the other side.
This red crystal emits heat, and the alternation between hot and cold is really unbearable.
But it was still put in intact.
After repairing the two holes in the gloves, Alka looked at the brand new gloves.
After all, Alka also made some simple changes to its appearance.
At this time, the gloves turned into a milky white color of holy light, with a faint gold edge and red and blue stripes on them, which converged all the way to the gem in the center.
The original wrist part was cut off, and the crystals on it were separated and placed on both sides of the central gem.
The crystal on the back of the hand is wrapped in a translucent metal shell, which can protect the crystal while better gathering the surrounding magic power and reducing the burden on magic power when using it.
Looking at the work in his hands, Alka nodded with satisfaction.
Rubbed his fingers together.
A blue bird appeared and flew out of the door toward the deck.
After a while, hurried footsteps were heard.
Jason ran in impatiently.
His eyes lit up as he looked at the glove in Alka's hand.
This color combination was exactly what he wanted, so he walked over and took it from Alka's hand.
"Did you modify him?"
"Yes, there are a lot of ancient technologies on it, which have long been updated and replaced with a more concise structure."
"Thank you, it looks much better now than before."
Jason said as he put the strap on his hand.
Seeing Jason couldn't let it go, Alka picked up the metal cylinder device from his feet and handed it to him.
"This is Juanlu's portable fire. Take it up to him and call Lucilia down."
Jason looked at the metal device that was almost the size of a human head, nodded, and hugged it in his arms.
Then he ran up, he couldn't wait to try out the functions of his new gloves.
It would be best if I could show off to Pororo.
Alka's voice came from behind again: "By the way, remember to come and learn how to carve ammunition from 2:00 to 4:00 pm starting tomorrow."
"no problem."
After watching Jason leave, Alka propped up his chin and looked at the puppet in the basket next to him.
"Who knows... maybe it's possible."
He muttered to himself, then stared at the puppet in a daze.
After a long while, Alka turned around when he felt a touch on his ear.
It was Lucelia who was sitting on the table, swinging her legs and looking at him with a grin.
"Don't you make any noise when you walk?" Alka couldn't help but complain .
"Hehe, this is what I learned in the past few days. Isn't it amazing? It matches my small body."
Sensing the lingering aura of stealth around Lucilia, Alka couldn't help but ask, "You're not going to be an assassin again, are you?"
Alka remembered that Lucilia had said some time ago that she wanted to wear armor and be a warrior.
"No! I want to be a stealth fighter."
Seeing Lucelia's proud expression, Alka remained silent.
"Is it the kind of stealth that... kills everyone you see?"
…
Lucilia stared at Alka with wide eyes, and there was inexplicable excitement in her eyes.
"Yes, is it still possible to sneak like this?"
It's like a new door has opened.
Seeing Lucilia like this, Alka couldn't help but hold his forehead.
It seemed like I had given Lucelia some incredible inspiration.
He quickly said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. I asked you to come down for something serious."
After hearing Alka get back to business, Lucilia came back to her senses and nodded.
He looked like he was all ears.
"We have tested it before, right? Only your current body can reach the triple helix. Other bodies can only be fixed to the double helix, and it will take at least 1 to 2 days to pull it up."
Lucilia nodded: "Yes, if there is a high-energy object, it can speed up the process."
When Lucilia became the Toucher before, even if she changed her body, she could still make the new body a Toucher.
Then she leaves the body, and the energy of the body drops back to its normal state.
But when Lucilia was upgraded to triple spiral because of the treasure, it became impossible.
The rest of the bodies cannot reach this level. When they first control the treasure, the energy it provides is the most.
This results in Lucelia's current puppet body being the strongest one, and it has been transformed by treasures.
It was no longer the first one Alka had made.
Now this puppet body can grow as Lucelia's strength increases, just like a real body.
Alka cannot make such a body, but at least this body is based on the one made by Alka.
Similarly, if Lucelia possessed her soul into other puppet bodies.
The other puppet bodies cannot achieve this effect because the flags are not strengthened.
It seems that only the first time will the enhancement be carried out.
However, due to the strength of the soul and the limitations of the puppet itself.
After 1 to 2 days, the puppet's strength can be increased to the maximum double helix. If there are high-energy items to provide energy, this process will be faster.
But that's all. When Lucillia's soul leaves these bodies, the magical power within these bodies will dissipate into the air at an extremely fast speed.
The circuits condensed in the body will also degenerate and disappear.
Unless Alka can make a more powerful puppet.
"You know the main function of this treasure, right?"
Lucilia nodded: "I know."
“There are 73 additional spots that can be given to other Touchers who are enlightened by this treasure. These Touchers will be able to improve according to my strength.
60 team members, 12 team leaders and 1 deputy team leader. "
However, all of these have a prerequisite, that is, the person who touches this treasure is enlightened.
"Then is there a possibility that this treasure can enlighten you who uses the Flesh and Blood Spell, and can also enlighten other puppets who use the Flesh and Blood Spell."
Hearing Alka's words, Lucilia frowned and looked at him and said, "Are you planning to use puppets to replace these members? Let the treasure play its role?"
"Yes. " That's what Alka thought.
If they want this treasure to work, they have to cultivate the Toucher themselves, which is very troublesome and they don't have the conditions for it now.
And Alka doesn't like a group of obedient "slaves".
Hearing this, Lucilia began to think.
"I don't know if it's possible, but the requirements to become a Toucher are quite demanding. I can become a Toucher because I have a highly adaptable flesh and blood puppet body, plus a normal soul."
"But the other puppets don't have souls."
Yes, that's the difficulty with this idea, the other puppets have no souls.
How can one become a toucher?
Alka said: "The treasures were probably suppressed in the Home Sea. After leaving the Home Sea, this suppression disappeared and they all improved a little."
For example, Dreamcatcher, and Mirror, which is less suppressed but still improved.
Is it possible that the Bloody Flag, which was rejected and rejected by the Church of Our Lady, was also subjected to greater suppression?
That's why Alka wondered if there was any possibility of success.
"In other words, can you forcibly control this treasure, make it less demanding on the person who touches it, and force the puppet to be enlightened, so as to achieve the effect we want."
Hearing this, Lucilia thought about it, and the bloody team flag emerged.
He frowned at the flag.
"I might be able to give it a try."
"Then I will find a way to add soul-like mechanisms to these puppets to increase the chances of deception and achieve the effect we want."
The two then exchanged some details and began their own efforts.
If the goal is achieved.
Then they would have enough extra strength to make up for the shortage of members in the treasure hunting team.
