Chapter 392: Dial-up robot, the familiar’s first battle
Prague City, the demon celebration, the central square is decorated with lights.
The machine puppet in the shape of a maid followed the well-dressed nobles and made a "didi beep beep" announcement sound; the horses made of gears pulled the brass carriage "clinking" past, from Alchemical steam from the exhaust vents above the horses' heads distorts the light, making the sunlight falling on the Baroque buildings appear unpredictable.
Dang——
In the center of the square stands an exquisite mechanical self-ringing clock. The pointer on the gear dial rotates to the hour. The skylight directly above the clock base opens, and a golden rooster bounces. Come out, flap your wings and cry.
Yeats looked at the chiming clock. For a moment, he thought he had arrived in the steampunk era, but then he shook his head.
To be precise, the technology tree of this era is a bit strange. Although the steam engine was not invented, some great mechanical creations can still be created with the combination of mechanics, runes and alchemy, such as Airship for cross-border transportation.
The reason why Prague is known as the "City of Golems" is closely related to the strong support of the local elector "Archduke Rudolf" for mysticism and alchemy.
This Grand Duke is an out-and-out golem lover. There are various types of machine golems from small to large in the castle. He also enjoys the joy of piecing together gear parts bit by bit——< br>
Yeats would like to call him Jiao Lao.
While the electors were fighting openly and secretly and the war was raging, Archduke Rudolf stayed behind closed doors and concentrated on assembling the puppets at home. Yeats regarded him as a rare real man.
At this time, a brass chariot pulled by three geared horses came from the direction of the Grand Duke's castle in the distance. Standing on the chariot was a man dressed in black silk embroidered with gold and a black top hat. A middle-aged man with a brown beard, a delicate mechanical pocket watch hanging on his chest.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, took out a single-sided spectacle from his arms and put it on. Only then could he see Yeats clearly and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Seeing the visitor, the knight commander next to Yeats knelt down on one knee in fear and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
Archduke Rudolf nodded majestically, looked at Yeats, and showed a friendly smile.
"The Duke of Honeysuckle has come a long way, please come with me to the castle to have a rest and allow me to host a banquet!"
Yeats did not refuse, and boarded the board with Gray and others The brass carriage prepared by the entourage followed Archduke Rudolf to his castle.
The baroque castle is magnificent, and the maids in the castle are all mechanical dolls, with silver-plated skin and obvious iron plate welding lines. Their movements are rigid and rigid, and Yeats can't help but look away.
"It is very common for puppet masters to use corpses and living people as raw materials. In the past, they were despised like necromancers." Mammon's voice rang directly in Yeats's ears. .
Yeats was alert, looked down at the gold ring on his finger, and said:
"Did you notice anything strange in this castle?"
Mammon is not a demon pet and cannot enter. The demon pet plane, but can enter the ring of Mammon. At this moment, Mammon is communicating with Yeats through the ring.
"Hmm... I don't think there's anything wrong. These puppets are assembled by hand bit by bit with gears, and no living materials are added." Mamen said, "The ancient methods are worthy of praise."
Yeats had also heard the underworld story of a crazy puppet master who turned his own daughter into a puppet, and finally had her neck broken by the out-of-control puppet.
Because golems are associated with many weird legends, they are not accepted by the world, but the science of golems does have merit.
The city of Prague tolerates puppet masters, so that the most powerful puppet masters in the world have gathered here, and relevant regulations have been formulated in order for the profession to continue... At least the puppet masters in Prague City are still very earthly. .
In the living room.
Yeats talked to Archduke Rudolf about the purpose of his visit.
"I see... Since you want to take the alchemy airship, just let me know and I will send someone to make preparations in advance."
"Thank you for your work, Your Majesty."
"It's just a little effort... However, it coincides with the celebration. Why don't you wait until the celebration is over before setting off? It also allows me to do my best as a landlord."
" That's what I have in mind... To be honest with the Duke, I plan to join this trip. I don’t know if it’s possible to celebrate and send my pet beasts to participate in the battle.”
“Haha, this is great! With the participation of the Art God, this celebration will be even more exciting. ! ”
On the occasion of Yeats’ conversation with Archduke Rudolf.
Gray stood behind Yeats's sofa and looked around curiously. She saw various exquisite small dolls placed on the cabinet, only the size of a palm. When Gray came closer, one of the small dolls even began to sing loudly.
Gray was startled, worried that the singing golem would disturb Yeats's conversation, and subconsciously covered the golem with her hands.
Boom!
Gray looked at the head of the golem in her hand, then at Yeats and Archduke Rudolf, who were looking at each other at the same time, and said awkwardly:
"Sorry... I accidentally... Me, I’ll put it back!”
Gray tried to put the golem's head back on, but the terrifying force caused the entire counter to crack with a 'click'!
Yeats' eyelids twitched.
Gray, great arm strength!
Looking at Archduke Rudolf again, the corners of his mouth kept twitching, and he forced a smile:
“Just put it... there.”
"I'll help you put it back!"
Boom!
Archduke Rudolf looked at the demon doll's head that rolled down at his feet, his eyelids twitched wildly, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"I really don't need to trouble you!!"
Finally .
Yeats led the dejected Gray out of the castle and said calmly:
"The gold coins and mental damage compensation to the Grand Duke will be deducted from your salary, Gray."
"I'm sorry. ...I know..." Gray came back to her senses and looked at Yeats in surprise, "Eh? I still have a salary? I forgot about it!"
Yeats looked at the sky, thinking wildly.
Originally I was supposed to pay you for being a guard, but since we are an old married couple, we won’t pay you!
Yeats could understand the regret that Jiao Lao's figure was destroyed, so as an apology, Yeats also taught the musical puppets in the Grand Duke's castle a song "Dream Wedding".
Archduke Rudolf’s son is preparing for his wedding recently. The music for the wedding has not yet been decided. Now that he has received the gift from the God of Art, he is overjoyed and expresses his gratitude to Yeats repeatedly.
“Which of the golems in this castle you like, you can pick one and take it away!” Archduke Rudolf waved his hand generously.
Yeats thought for a moment and chose the puppet whose head was accidentally hit by Gray.
"This..." Archduke Rudolf felt that he had taken advantage, so he proactively proposed to upgrade the golem, "Let me modify it for you!"
The modified golem is about the size of a halfling and has many functions such as singing, playing, serving tea and water, and defending and fighting. Because it looks like the dial-up robot in "Hearthstone", Yeats used the "dial-up robot" Name "her".
The dialing robot was included in the Ring of Mammon by Yeats.
As the most powerful storage item on the entire continent, the Ring of Mammon can even hold living creatures.
Yeats's consciousness examined the inside of the ring and saw the black cat jumping up and down around the dialing robot, as if he was treating the puppet as a cat climbing frame.
Mamen muttered: "What is this? A magic doll? Play with it..."
Dial-up robot: "Dudududu... is on standby, please do not touch."
Mammon: "The golems of this era also have the function of making sounds! It's interesting, I will study it further!"
< br>Yeats rubbed his chin.
When we get the airship prototype, it will be enough for Mammon to tinker and stop for a while!
*
Prague City, the triennial Golem Celebration, welcomes the most anticipated event.
Among the contestants participating in this celebration, there were even three masters of the Sixth Ring. The grandeur of it had attracted the attention of the surrounding lords, who sent envoys to visit.
These three masters correspond to Golemology, Golemology and Beast Taming respectively.
The first two masters are renowned top experts in the city of Prague, and the last master participating in the celebration is said to be the famous Duke Honeysuckle, who has attracted more and more attention from the world.
Ford, the master of golem studies, mainly researches on combat golems. The golems are made of six-ring 'dragon suspension silk' and are extremely tough. Even if the head and body are separated, they can still rely on the intangible The dragon's hanging thread quickly recovered. Golem Master Belthas Stoneheart, a dwarf craftsman of the Stoneheart tribe, is a deviant and does not like forging but loves golems. He serves as the main person in charge of the epic project "Forbidden Stone Colossus" in Prague City. The golem also uses forbidden magic stone as its raw material, but its size is doubled.
The battle between masters is no longer something that those with high levels can interfere with.
Archduke Rudolf thought about it for a while and thought that instead of letting laymen waste the time of several masters, it would be better to directly hold a "Battle of Three Kings" and let the three masters compete on the same stage.
So, Archduke Rudolf formulated new rules, requiring the three masters Yeats, Ford, and Belsus Stoneheart to appear on the stage at the same time and fight each other. The last one left in the ring would win the final. victory!
Yeats had no problem with this rule.
Anyway, if Mammon fights, he can win even with his eyes closed!
Rather than worrying about victory or defeat, it is better to take this opportunity to pay attention to the magic displayed by Mammon... Even if you encounter her true form in the future, you will be able to take more initiative!
On the day of the celebration.
Prague City, the central square, gathered dignitaries and audiences of all ethnic groups.
A barrier that could withstand a master-level attack rose out of thin air and enveloped the huge circular platform.
Outside the circular platform, Archduke Rudolf sat on a high platform. Before the game started, he was concentrating on putting together the parts on the table.
There is a large airship hovering high in the sky, its bottom decorated with special fluorescent orbs. This new type of scroll, which adds special plant powder to the "Dancing Light" scroll, can make the light ball show different colors and is highly praised in festival celebrations.
6◇9◇书◇Bar
A sight rarely seen on weekdays further stimulated the enthusiasm at the scene, and the cheers were like a wave.
In a VIP box, he was chewing melon seeds between his teeth, looking up at the large airship in the sky, and said suspiciously:
"We are going to Paris on that thing? Is it really not going to fall?"
"It is unlikely to fall, but the empire is very uneasy recently, and a bunch of air pirates have appeared. , specifically picking out the rich people on the airship..." A sharp edge flashed in Hilud's eyes. , "They'd better not let us meet."
Gray said with a smile: "How could such a coincidence happen! Yeats can't go anywhere without accidents!"
Hilud and Drill Tooth fell into silence immediately, and glanced at Gray at the same time.
Faced with this silent gaze, Gray said angrily:
"Okay...Yeats is indeed easily involved in weird things..."
Tian Ya thought: "Maybe this is the guy who was punished by fate, even if there is a silver sword at his side. , you will always suffer misfortune!”
However, there is always fun to be had by following Yeats, which is also an important reason why I am willing to follow him!
On the circular platform covered by the barrier.
Yeats looked at Ford and Belsus Stoneheart, who were standing on the left and right in front of him, and they also looked at each other warily.
Puppet Master Ford felt heavy.
I am considered a disciple of Archduke Rudolf, and my main purpose of participating in this celebration is to prove my worth to the Archduke.
When encountering Belthas Stoneheart, the winning rate is about 50%, but Duke Honeysuckle shows up halfway, which greatly disrupts Ford's plan.
Anyone who encounters this famous mainland chosen one in a duel will feel deeply troubled!
"When you meet the Chosen One, you can't give up easily. At least you have to put him in a hard fight." Ford secretly thought, "Only in this way can Lord Rudolph be recognized by me!"
On the other side, the stocky dwarf wiped his nose, looked at Yeats with his eyes, and said secretly:
"I am the only one who has the forbidden magic stone golem, and no one else has my craftsmanship. , maybe you can trick that kid! Hehe, if you become famous in one battle, you can buy more golem materials!"
Bang!
With the firing of a brass flintlock pistol in the hands of Archduke Rudolf, the battle officially began.
Buzz——
Ford's storage ring flashed with light, and a jet-black armor appeared from it.
The arms and legs of the jet-black armor are sharp knives, and the joints are connected with tough silk threads. The obsidian inlaid under the helmet emits a deep cold light.
"Your steel sword golem looks much shinier than before."
The dwarf grinned and yelled: "Look at me! Forbidden Demon Stone Statue, go and try it. The quality of the two of them!”
Space fluctuations surged, and a huge summoning circle appeared on the circular field. A three-meter-high demon statue slowly rose in the center of the circle, made of forbidden magic stone. Exudes a marble-like luster.
boom!
The forbidden demon stone statue was the first to attack, hitting the steel sword golem with a powerful and heavy punch.
Sa!
In an instant, the figure of the Steel Sword Golem has disappeared. The heavy fist of the Forbidden Demon Stone statue blasted out a huge pit in its original position. The bottom of the pit is full of cracks!
“Mammon, I leave it to you.”
A spiritual light flew out of the gold ring and landed on the platform. The black cat wearing gold jewelry immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Compared with the Forbidden Demon Stone Statue and the Steel Knife Golem, this Demonic Pet is unremarkable and almost devoid of any threat.
However, this demon pet was commanded by Duke Honeysuckle, and the two masters present did not dare to underestimate the enemy!
“Who will win?”
Doujiang turned his head and looked at Gray and Herod who were watching:
"A powerful golem versus a harmless kitten?"
Hilud's eyes were complicated.
Mammon... Harmless to humans and animals?
On the ring, the dwarf's Belthas Stoneheart had a rough temper and said in a loud voice:
"Forbidden Demon Stone Statue, smash that cat to me!"
< br>
Mammon's figure was nimble and she could dodge easily. The Forbidden Demon Stone Statue couldn't find its exact position for a while. It looked around and hesitated.
Ford is cunning and has always asked the Steel Sword Golem to watch from the outside of the battlefield.
“Stop playing, Mammon.”
Yeats sent a message: “When we get to Paris Gia, we have to go to your temple to see if we can get some help from your temple. Get some pocket money from the merit box!”
Mammon rolled her eyes.
Paris Ghia is extremely tolerant, and indeed a businessman built a Mammon temple called "Miracle Gold Coin" in Paris...
But that's not the reason for you to take money from my temple. !
What's going on with this guy... He's even greedier than me!
Mamen was depressed and muttered:
"Okay, I understand, let's fight quickly."
Yeats inspected Ford and Belsus Stoneheart, nodded and said:
"I have to catch the airship later, you guys can get on together."
The dwarf was stunned, and then became furious. , said angrily: "It's enough for me to deal with you alone!"
Ford hurriedly sent a message and said: "No, let's join forces to deal with that guy first, and it won't be too late for us to decide the outcome!"
"Why do you listen to him so much! If he asks you to go together, you can go together." "Sir?" the dwarf said angrily, "I want to fight alone!"
Ford: "..."
I think you shouldn't be called Stone Heart, you should be called Tietou!
