Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

Two days later, the guest cabin room.

The facilities in the room are simple, with only a bed and a card table.

Chu Ming sat in front of the card table, holding a book in his hand, resting his chin on his arm, looking thoughtfully at the mist covering the sky and the sun outside the window. As the airship moved, he could only see black trees receding like trees. film.

The magic airship has left the Kingdom of Clinton and entered the foggy area of ​​the Kingdom of Mani.

As Roman said, the scenery on the upper deck of the airship's ninth floor is excellent, which can relieve the crew's claustrophobic mood.

Just after entering the foggy area, in order to prevent accidents, Bernardo had ordered the crew not to go to the deck at will, and they were only allowed to watch the scenery outside the airship in the exhibition hall on the ninth floor.

During these two days, Chu Ming was not idle, and whenever he had time, he would discuss with Roman the topic of puppet making.

At the beginning, Roman was able to answer many doubts for Chu Ming. Later, he found that Chu Ming's learning efficiency was very efficient. Generally, he would not ask the questions he had asked a second time, and he was making steady progress every day.

Up to now, Chu Ming has reduced the frequency of asking about making puppets. Roman even suggested that he try to get in touch with puppets. After all, theory is theory and practice is practice. He only uses his mouth instead of his hands. Theory is like a castle in the air, illusory .

"Boom, boom, boom..."

There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and Chu Ming immediately realized that there was a work puppet knocking on the door, and only this kind of work puppet that strictly followed the logical pattern could knock out the rhythm that made obsessive-compulsive disorder extremely comfortable. feel.

When he came to the door and opened it, as he expected, there was a tall working puppet with the brilliance of the magic circle standing outside. At this time, it was holding a wooden box, stiffly stood still.

The puppet didn't speak. After seeing the guests coming out, it walked into the room on its own, put down the wooden box, turned and left the room.

"This should be the old puppet that Roman wants to practice for me."

After closing the door, Chu Ming sat cross-legged on the ground, opened the wooden box, and took out a slumped little puppet. Under the box, scattered parts and tools were piled up.

Chu Ming put his hands under the puppet's armpit, propped it up, and observed it carefully.

"This should be a mechanical puppet."

According to the logic core, power core and transmission structure, golems can be divided into magic circle golems, mechanical golems and memory golems.

Among them, the body structure of the magic circle golem is the simplest. Its body is driven by magic power, and the power is transmitted through the magic circle carved on the body. The most complex part of the body is the magic circle carved on the body of the magic doll and the joint patterns connecting the limbs. The ball has certain requirements for the puppeteer's magic circle practice level.

The structure of the mechanical puppet can be regarded as the most complicated among the three types of puppet. Its body is composed of various gears, connecting rods, transmission shafts, hydraulic devices, magic mechanical devices... It requires the puppeteer to have extremely With a rich reserve of mechanical knowledge, goblins are the best in the field of mechanical puppets.

Strictly speaking, if the appearance of the magic airship is ignored, it can also be included in the ranks of mechanical puppets.

Goblins can use the knowledge of puppets to make such giants, and it is natural to make all kinds of puppets and behemoths.

Like the epic mithril monster that Chu Ming met a long time ago, it can be easily produced with the level of goblin puppet master.

But the metamorphosis of the Mithril Giant Beast does not lie in its body structure, but in its puppet body made entirely of Mithril.

Due to its excellent magic guiding performance, Mithril is extremely rare even in the modern age of magic. If the wasteful behavior of using a large amount of Mithril to cast an epic golem is seen by a modern golem master, he will be so angry that he vomits several liters of blood.

The huge amount of mithril did bring the terrifying blow of the mithril behemoth capable of destroying a small town, far exceeding the explosive power of an epic star, but if these mithril can be given to any puppet master, they can Several legendary puppets have been created.

"The mithril beast should still be in the hands of the vampires, but I guess it has been broken down into materials and bought. After all, the value of the materials themselves is much higher than the value of this demon doll."

Chu Ming shook his head and returned his attention to the demon doll in his hand.

In fact, the type of golem he wanted to learn to make was not a magic golem or a mechanical golem, but a memory golem.

In the cognition of puppeteers, magic circle puppet and mechanical puppet are called first-generation puppet, while memory puppet is the latest second-generation puppet.

The power source of the memory puppet comes from magic and memory. Everything in the body is driven by memory. It can perfectly inherit his memory power and is the best choice for creating a clone.

The reason why the memory puppet and the other two types of puppet can form a generational difference is not in the physical structure, but in the logical core.

In essence, magic circle golems and mechanical golems rely on the logic of the magic circle pattern to receive orders and make judgments. The golems have strong procedural and purposeful nature. They are strict and will only follow the instructions of the golem master. Predetermined actions are logically followed.

The memory puppet relies on the memory in the memory crystal to receive commands and make judgments. Compared with the logic circle, the lines are more free and closer to human thinking. As long as the memory is there, the puppet can easily solve it, so Under normal circumstances, people cannot see the difference between a memory puppet and a normal person.

But the memory puppet also has its flaws. It also has the blind spots of knowledge that people have, and it will be more serious. Once it touches the blind spots of knowledge, in severe cases, the memory puppet will even crash into a crash.

A memory puppet is equivalent to a person who will never change. It cannot learn independently like a human being. After touching the blind spot of knowledge, it will become extremely dull.

"But if we can combine the alchemy of doll life..."

I have to admit that the inventor of the puppet life alchemy is really a genius. He was able to activate the memory and logic of the puppet and create a real puppet life.

Just like the maid Mattie, she is just a memory puppet, but after undergoing the alchemy of puppet life, she gained life.

Chu Ming's pursuit is memory puppet and puppet life alchemy. Only the combination of the two can meet his requirements for clones, and the clones created are more likely to be recognized by the ancient tree of time.

"The memory puppet itself has no requirements for the structure of the body. The structure of the magic circle puppet or the mechanical puppet is fine. Anyway, from the moment the memory is activated, the memory will take over the transmission device in the body and condense the memory. Flesh."

Chu Ming removed the metal cover on the back of the head of the demon in his hand, revealing the densely packed logic array module inside.

His eyes swept over, and with his sharp eyes, he instantly found several bad spots that were burned due to overload.

However, this puppet’s problems are not limited to these, there are also problems such as wear and tear of the metal plate, and cracking of the logic array. It is hard to imagine what this mechanical puppet has experienced before it burns out the logic array and loses all parts of its body. ...

Fortunately, it is protected by a metal shell, the area of ​​the logic circle is not exposed, and the aging is not very serious.

"Mattie's body should have been a magic circle golem at the beginning. After receiving the life alchemy of the doll, it transformed into a memory body. The production method of the magic circle golem is similar to that of the elemental body. It seems that I am going to We need to focus on the learning and production of magic circle golems.”

"As for this mechanical puppet, let's use it as a practice hand. The difficulty of repair is just right for my current level."

After holding the golem and observing it for a while, he raised his head and glanced at the fog outside the window.

"This foggy area is so large, I don't know when I can go out, so I just use the repair puppet to pass the time."

"It's just that the fog won't appear inexplicably. I hope nothing bad will happen."

Chu Ming picked up the knife-tip pen used to disassemble the puppet, and started the repair work.

……

In the endless fog, a huge monster shining with the brilliance of the magic circle walked through it, making a loud roar that shattered the peace in the fog.

Chu Ming raised his head and looked out of the window. The fog swept past the streamlined ship and flowed quickly. There was no change from a few days ago.

The difficulty of crossing the foggy area is beyond everyone's imagination. They sailed for eight days and are still wandering in the fog.

"This fog is really weird."

Sighing, Chu Ming looked down at the already formed mechanical puppet in his hand. He took out the mithril plate of the logical magic circle maintained in the magic guiding liquid, wiped it dry, and installed it back in the back of the puppet's head.

Then he opened the empty chamber in the middle of the puppet's body, and placed a pure spiritual crystal that shone with faint fluorescence.

After installing the metal back cover, he laid the puppet flat on the ground.

"Hopefully the repair can be successful this time."

Chu Ming activated the logic circle and fixed his eyes on the puppet lying quietly on the ground.

This is already the fourth time he has completed the restoration, but the previous three times all ended in activation failure.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that it would be so difficult just to repair it.

For this reason, he also asked Roman for advice several times.

The short mechanical puppet like a skinny monkey lay quietly on the ground. After a few seconds, nothing happened.

Chu Ming's face was calm. Just when he thought that the restoration would end in failure again, there was a strange noise from the mechanical puppet, and the crystal pupils lighted up white light slightly.

"Success?"

A few seconds later, the puppet moved, and it supported its body to get up from the ground.

Because Chu Ming has maintained the power shaft, gears and other mechanical parts, cleaned up the rust and oil stains, and brushed with new lubricating oil, the puppet moved smoothly, and it stood up without any pause.

The puppet raised its head to look at Chu Ming, its eyes flickered, its legs jumped up suddenly, and it waved its fists. It looked like a boxer who was proficient in fighting and was ready to attack Chu Ming at any time.

"This guy couldn't have been smashed by a goblin practicing boxing."

Chu Ming secretly said, feeling very comfortable.

Eight days ago, this guy was still a piece of scrap iron, and he successfully repaired a piece of scrap iron with his own hands. It is hard to tell others about the sense of accomplishment.

"It's time to tell Roman the good news. By the way, let him teach the making of magic circle puppet."

Chu Ming stretched out his right hand, ignored the thin monkey puppet's punching, forcibly turned it off, put it back into the wooden box at the beginning, and prepared to go to Roman.

But before he could leave the room, a warning announcement came from the sound wave array on the wall.

"Crewmen, please pay attention. There is a legendary battle ahead, and the third-level combat readiness is activated. Please return the crew in charge of each cabin to the predetermined position quickly."

"During the flight, the airship may experience turbulence. For the safety of you and the cabin, please stay in the room and do not walk around in the corridor."

"..."

Chu Ming frowned when he heard the broadcast sound coming from his ears.

He quickly came to the window and looked out for a few times. Apart from the fact that the fog was flowing faster than before, he found no other abnormalities.

"In the end what happened?"

"Is it related to 'memory'?"

Chu Ming didn't listen to the announcement and stayed in the room. He planned to go to the exhibition hall in front of the ship on the ninth floor to see what happened.

The door opened, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw the three Cronos rushing back to the room.

In the past few days, Chu Ming was obsessed with restoring the puppet, and did not go out with them for activities.

After seeing the three of Crono come back, he froze for a moment and quickly asked, "What happened?"

Kronor walked up to Chu Ming and said uncertainly, "I heard that a dark tide appeared in the mist. It seems that someone is fighting against the tide."

"Things should not be as serious as we thought."

Chu Ming thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Let's go to the exhibition hall to see the situation."

Mirissa showed hesitation on her face, "Brother Ren, didn't the broadcast tell us not to leave the room?"

Chu Ming said with a smile: "The purpose of not letting the passengers leave the room is to protect the safety of the passengers."

"But the four of us are all epic, unless the magic airship is attacked, we are all safe."

"And both Krono and I have experienced the dark tide, and we are very familiar with dark monsters, so maybe we can help."

Help was just Chu Ming's words. He couldn't solve things that even the magic airship couldn't handle. His purpose was just to explore the situation in the fog.

"Let's go."

Chu Ming took the three of them to the exhibition hall. When he passed by the work golem that advised passengers to return to their rooms, he informed Roman of his intention to go to the exhibition hall through the golem. The man quickly agreed, but only told them to pay attention to safety.

"Roman promised so readily, it seems that things should not be as serious as we imagined."

After turning several times in the corridor, after 5 minutes, they finally arrived at the spacious and bright exhibition hall with green potted plants.

Chu Ming looked forward, and behind a group of sofas and seats, a huge glass landscape window with the pattern of magic circle came into his eyes.

Under the scenic window, many goblins looked out on their toes.

He continued to look forward, through the window, and saw the fog outside and the black tide surging under the fog. Along with it, there was the roaring sound of dark monsters running and roaring...

And in the raging darkness, a thick golden light pierced through the dark fog and hit the huge black shadow deep in the fog.

"Boom!"

The shock wave stirred up the fog, and the fog rushed towards the magic airship like a tide, blocking the view of the scenic window.

Chu Ming walked in front of the scenic window, suddenly his mind was aroused, as if he sensed a familiar breath.

He looked closely into the depths of the mist, and a thunderbolt appeared, tearing through the darkness.

"The secret of Yun Lei?!"

Chu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he saw something incredible.
