[Source Energy Furnace]: The core ability of the Source Energy User is to build a Source Energy Furnace in the body and continuously generate Source Energy by burning spirituality and matter.

The source energy in the furnace can be split, and the split source energy can be used to build new subsidiary source energy furnaces. The power limit of the subsidiary source energy furnace cannot exceed that of the main source energy furnace. The subsidiary source energy furnace is controlled by the main source energy furnace. When the main source energy furnace is extinguished, the subsidiary source energy furnace will no longer be able to absorb spirituality and matter, and will also go out after its own source energy is exhausted.

The current amount of splittable source energy is 0/10. When the source energy in the main source energy furnace increases, the amount of splittable source energy will also increase.

[Source Energy Resonance]: As the number of source energy furnaces increases, the carrier will be strengthened in all aspects.

Affected conditions are: skill strength, main energy furnace strength, main energy furnace carrier strength, number of auxiliary energy furnaces, and auxiliary energy furnace carrier strength.

The higher the intensity, the greater the reinforcement.

After reading the introduction to the two skills of the Source Energy User, Melen showed satisfaction, thinking that it was worth his time and energy.

Moreover, after being strengthened by source energy, Garuru's racial mechanical construct did not change, but the racial level changed from the original "blue" to the current "deep blue".

After becoming a source energy user, you can control multiple mechanical creations to fight, and this is still the early stage of the profession. As the professional level increases, it will not be impossible for one person to form an army in the future.

For human energy users, their positioning in the early and middle stages can only be a commander-like role, which is their own weakness.

Garuru is different. It is a mechanical creation itself. Compared with the energy machines derived from it, the mechanical dog is its real strongest point.

The only pity is that at present, Melen has only completely deciphered the first metal booklet, which is the career path of [Source Energy User] from level one to level three, and even the professional skills he has is only the [Source Energy Resonance] that comes with the job change.

According to Melen's subsequent interpretation of the metal booklet, the second and third books seem to be the professional skills of the source energy user, and the fourth book is related to the legend. As for the following books, the current information is too vague to be confirmed.

From then on, Melen could no longer learn anything more from Professor Moss regarding the secret language of magic patterns.

If you want to do your own research, you probably won't be able to get any more information anytime soon.

However, Melen was not too worried because he received some very good information from Professor Moss. In half a year, the five-yearly academic exchange meeting would be held in Emmelburg.

This academic exchange meeting was not organized by the Kingdom of Kro, but was jointly organized by scholars from the six surrounding human kingdoms with the aim of promoting cultural exchange and knowledge improvement.

Castle Amor is not located in any human kingdom. It is located in the south of the Baiye Kingdom, bordering the Barotan Kingdom. It is an independent force established by a wizard school that advocates knowledge.

This wizarding school called Yuanluo's Eye has always been non-competitive and focused on collecting all kinds of knowledge. In addition, its strength is so great that the surrounding human kingdoms have tacitly accepted its existence.

At that time, Mellen only needs to follow the Princeton team to the scholars exchange meeting, where he can naturally meet linguistic experts from other countries. As long as he learns their knowledge about magic rune secrets, it will definitely greatly advance his progress in deciphering the metal book.

Next, Mellen planned to experiment with his previous idea.

He looked at the robot dog, smiled kindly, and said, "Garuru, to celebrate your successful job change, I'll make an exception and treat you to something delicious today."

Garuru looked at his master with anticipation in his eyes.

Mellen took out the [Final Track] and said, "Here, this is a very powerful extraordinary item. More importantly, it is of great significance. It once saved my life. But who says you are my dog? Here, eat it."

Garuru Electronics' eyes showed a touch of emotion, but there was also some hesitation. In its opinion, although the food in front of it was delicious, it was after all its owner's favorite. Wouldn't it be a bit... to eat it like that?

Melen gently stroked Garuru's mechanical dog head and said, "Okay, eat."

Garuru no longer hesitated and swallowed the [Final Track] in one gulp.

Chapter 175 Farewell, Sorting Out, Goodbye

Mellen looked at Garuru quietly, spiritual energy flowing through his fingertips, ready to add buffs to the mechanical dog at any time.

However, things did not develop in a bad direction. Although this was the first time that Garuru swallowed an extraordinary object, everything went unexpectedly smoothly. Relying on the racial ability of [devouring metal] and the source energy's control over mechanical creations, [the final trajectory] was digested smoothly.

However, what made Melen feel a little regretful was that the power of destiny contained in the side effect trajectory settlement was not absorbed, but was regarded as a harmful part by Garuru and instinctively rejected.

After devouring the [Final Trajectory] through the ability of [Swallowing Metal], the next step is to use [Characteristic Reconstruction] to analyze it. This process not only allows a thorough analysis of the material of the [Final Trajectory], but also allows a clear understanding of its extraordinary structure.

After this step is completed, Garuru will completely inherit the power of [Final Track], and even with the ability of [Source Energy User], he can continuously optimize it and increase its power.

As for now...

At Mellen's signal, Garuru jumped to the open space next to it. There was a mechanical deformation on both shoulders, and two gun muzzles appeared, and then bullets were fired continuously.

Mellen observed for a moment and nodded slightly. The bullets fired by Garuru were comparable to those of a conventional high-powered revolver. It did not use conventional gunpowder, but its own energy source, and consumed only its own mass.

After the extraordinary part of [Final Trajectory] is analyzed, extraordinary abilities such as automatic aiming, penetrating explosion, and extraordinary bullets can also be used.

However, based on Garuru's current abilities, an ordinary first-level warrior would probably be defeated upon contact, which is also the advantage of the extraordinary gunman.

The next step is to let Garuru create an auxiliary source energy furnace, and then equip it with enough mechanical puppets, so that the mechanical dog can be truly complete.

At Professor Moss's home.

After Mellen and Professor Moss had a hearty breakfast, Professor Moss got up and wanted to go to the study with Mellen for daily teaching.

At this time, Mellen said: "Professor Moss, please wait a moment."

Professor Moss looked puzzled at first, then seemed to realize something and sat back down.

Mellen stood up and bowed slightly to Professor Moss, then said, "Professor Moss, thank you for your guidance during this period."

Professor Moss just waved his hand without saying anything polite.

Melen continued, "I think the study of the magic rune secret language will come to an end for now."

Professor Moss said with emotion, "Indeed, with your rate of progress, I don't have much to teach you anymore. From now on, it's more like we'll be conducting joint research rather than teaching you."

Mellen shook his head and said seriously, "You're too modest, Professor Moss. Studying a complex language requires considerable knowledge accumulation. I'm far from qualified."

Professor Moss nodded and said no more.

Mellen continued, "I hope to join the Princeton team at the scholar exchange meeting in half a year and set off for Fort Elmore together."

Professor Moss said, "Okay, then you can join the team as my assistant."

In fact, Professor Moss's original intention when he told Mellen about the academic exchange meeting was to let Mellen join the Princeton team.

After all, the journey to Castle Amor is long and requires crossing other borders. Even if they have strong guards in Princeton, there is no guarantee that they will not encounter any danger along the way.

With this star-picking king by my side, the road ahead will basically be smooth.

After the two sides agreed on a specific time, Melen said with a smile: "Thank you again for your dedicated guidance during this period. With that, I will take my leave."

After saying that, he nodded slightly to Professor Moss, then took a step forward and disappeared in the colorful light.

It was a while after Mellen left that Professor Moss came to his senses. When he thought about his experiences over the past two months, he felt as if he were in a dream.

Standing on a high mountain in the distance, Mellen looked back at the city of Princeton, where a faint humanistic atmosphere was rising, smiled slightly, and walked away.

Beside him, several dogs were jumping and playing happily, looking carefree.

The next step is to go to Golden Island to uncover the message from the mysterious father.

Along the way, Mellen was not in a hurry to travel, but was sorting out the information of several dogs.

For now, Spike's growth path is very clear. Although he doesn't have the world-destroying power of Xiao Honglian, nor the godsend of opportunity of Xiao Liuli, he is taking one step at a time. The cooperation between the Fighting Dog and the Branded Knight is the most stable path.

Moreover, because of his childhood experiences, Spike always shows his mature and steady side. Although this makes Melen feel a little distressed, it is also because of this that he is the dog that Melen trusts the most.

The Little Red Lotus is indeed strong, but its current state is far from its true complete form. Only when it unfolds the [Source of Blood] and successfully devours an entire world can it use this as nourishment and become a true blood-septic demon.

Also because of her childhood experiences, Xiao Honglian is extremely insecure and extremely dependent on her master Mellen. She wants to be with Mellen almost all the time. This makes Xiao Honglian not have much desire to improve her own strength. The reason she has the strength she has now is basically to respond to Mellen's expectations.

Xiao Honglian's current strength is already strong enough, and it would be redundant for her to switch to a supernatural profession. Therefore, unless she encounters an extremely suitable supernatural profession, Melen does not plan to let the little guy change his profession.

Garuru seems to have a good growth direction. The source energy user has considerable potential and is very compatible with the mechanical dog. As long as he continues to grow along this route, the future will be promising.

Moreover, based on Garuru's own racial talents and the professional abilities of the Source User, Melen has thought of many cool operations. As to whether they will work, it remains to be further verified.

As for the last little Liuli, this little fox given by God is still in its childhood. Melen plans to wait until its racial strength reaches the first level and awakens more racial talents and skills before conducting targeted training.

Now, let the little fox enjoy a happy childhood.

On the road.

Melen stopped in a barren mountain, then waved his hand slightly, and three mechanical puppets of different specifications appeared in front of him. These three mechanical puppets were not in human form, but in wolf form.

If you look closely, you'll find that they are somewhat similar to Garuru.

This is a simple model that Pinocchio imitated during this period based on the steel puppets he obtained in the secret space by reverse analyzing their technology.

Although it is a simple model, it basically meets Mellen's expectations.

These three mechanical puppet wolves correspond to the first, second and third levels of strength respectively, but now they are lifeless and have no power at all.

Garuru excitedly came directly to the strongest third-order mechanical puppet wolf, and then placed the built auxiliary source energy furnace into the energy slot reserved on its chest.

The light of the attached source energy furnace lit up, and green electric light began to move and flicker on the mechanical puppet wolf, which was a sign of activation.

The mechanical puppet wolf's electronic eyes lit up, and a sense of oppression spread out faintly. It took a step forward, and then... fell to the ground.

After the light of the attached energy furnace was completely extinguished, Mellen shook his head slightly.

He only got the career path of the Source Energy User, but he was completely clueless about other career-related matters, so naturally he and Garuru needed to conduct tests from the beginning.

Just like now, although it is known that with Garuru's current strength, the auxiliary energy furnace it creates will most likely not be able to activate mechanical creations that are higher than its own level, but it won't hurt to try.

Now it has only confirmed this original conjecture.

Garuru was somewhat unwilling. In fact, it wanted to directly control the ten third-level mechanical puppet wolves.

Next, Garuru, unwilling to give up, placed the auxiliary energy furnace into the body of the second-level mechanical puppet wolf. Although it took a few more steps than the third-level mechanical puppet wolf, it still failed to activate in the end.

Garuru was a little dejected, and resigned himself to activating the first-level mechanical puppet wolf. This time there was no accident. As the green electric light moved across the first-level mechanical puppet wolf, its electronic eyes also emitted a lively light.

At the beginning, the first-level mechanical puppet wolf's movements were a bit clumsy, but after just a few minutes, it became agile and free, just like a real wolf.

After a simple test, Mellen was able to confirm that after being strengthened by the attached source energy furnace, the physical fitness of this mechanical puppet wolf had reached the first-level limit in all aspects. At the same time, it possessed intelligence that was not inferior to that of a wolf beast, and obeyed Garuru's orders.

Melen could even see the dog's attribute brilliance above his head...

【Name】：Mechanical Puppet Wolf

【Category】：Mechanical Creation

【Grade】: Tier

[Skills]: Energy Furnace (Attachment), Energy Resonance, Steel Claws (Energy Activation), Mechanical Transformation (Main Inherited)

……

……

[Source Energy Furnace (Subsidiary)]: Made from the subsidiary source energy split from the main source energy furnace, it is completely restricted by the main source energy furnace, and its power limit cannot exceed the power limit of the main source energy furnace.

[Steel Teeth and Claws (Source Energy Activated)]: After being activated by source energy, the claws are greatly strengthened, their sharpness and hardness are greatly increased, and they have a certain armor-piercing effect.

[Mechanical Transformation (Main Inheritance)]: Inheriting some of the abilities of the main energy furnace carrier, it can cause the mechanical body to undergo partial morphological changes.

The attributes of this mechanical puppet wolf are quite good. Perhaps because it is a subsidiary of Garuru, it has no race and is just a simple mechanical creation, so naturally there is no such thing as evolution.

But it doesn't matter. Mechanical creations can be continuously improved in strength through transformation, and the enhancement of source energy can be said to be immediate.

Next, we need to recruit a maximum of ten Garurus mechanical puppet wolves according to the current configuration.

When ten giant mechanical wolves nearly two meters tall appeared in front of him, the feeling of cyber technology suddenly came to him.

At the same time, multiple mechanical puppet wolves also activated the skill [Source Energy Resonance].

After a simple test, Melen also came up with a basic data...

When three mechanical puppet wolves activated [Source Energy Resonance], their average strength increased by about 5%, but when the number reached ten, the average strength increase was only 10%.

As the number of resonances increases, although the overall strength increases, the growth rate of individual strength will continue to decrease.

In addition, when Garuru joins the resonance, no matter how many mechanical creations are currently resonating, their strength can be increased by an additional 1% on this basis.

Moreover, this is just the basics. You should know that Garuru's current mastery of the skill [Source Energy Resonance] is only 1%. If it is increased to 100%, the increase should become quite exaggerated.

The mechanical transformation ability inherited by the mechanical puppet wolf from Garuru has also been tested, and it can only be said to be a youth-degraded version.
