Chapter 298: 'Puppet Girl' (Finale)
The maid pushed down her glasses without panic, "What the hell is this puppet that can still move without an energy core?"
In her eyes, after the puppet reactivated, the whole body lit up with various light paths representing 'elemental activism', but the position of the heart was empty, and it was pitch black.
She had studied just now, this puppet moves in a similar way to humans, the heart is an extremely important organ, just like a 'legendary warrior', without a brain they can still rely on the body's instinctive activities, if the strength is enough, it can also make the brain reborn, but it will be stupid for a while, but if there is no heart, they will really die.
The muscle structure of the dragon is only suitable for the dragon, if the human body carries the muscle structure of the dragon, it will only make the body look awkward, and even after intense exercise, the bones in the body can be shattered.
The skin is man-made, not a proliferating 'human skin', and it feels similar to human skin to the touch, but it is actually a metal.
However, the muscles of the dolls are real muscles, and it is really hard to imagine what those arcanists think, could it be because they haven't unlocked the 'metal muscle' technology?
It's hard for the maid to imagine that the arcanist who has unlocked this 'active metal skin' technology can't create 'metal muscles'?
Even if she can't make 'metal muscles', isn't this doll still a golem in essence? No matter how delicately made, she is still a golem, and it is not enough to use the technology to make golems to activate the metal?
Putting this aside for now, it was difficult for the maid to understand how a golem without an energy core could move.
As the puppet was reactivated, the colorful bloom of the 'elemental activation' was about to blind the maid's eyes, so she had to take off her glasses, and the runes and magic circles that had been activated together disappeared from her eyes.
The maid is not stupid enough to look at other 'people' with these glasses, and even if the glasses don't break, her eyes will be blinded by the 'light'.
After taking off her glasses, the maid looked at Ziegler and asked, "Where did you find this puppet?"
Only by taking off her glasses can the maid look at the 'people' squarely, and there are two legendary dragons, a god, who look at them with those glasses, unless the maid is trying to blind herself.
"Where did I just go...... Oh yes, the dead Arcanists!"
Like the maid, Ziegler was only slightly startled and then relaxed, no longer worrying about the doll, he was able to bring her out of the ruins, naturally there was a way to deal with her.
Ziegler clapped his hands, "I suspect they all died after the fall of the Floating City, because I found several laboratories in the ruins, although it has been a long time ago, I can still see the luxury of those laboratories in the first place! Those arcanists died around the puppet, no more than a hundred feet, I suspect that they wanted to take the puppet away after they were resurrected, but I don't know what went wrong, the puppet actually killed them, and it was when they were not prepared." โ
The puppet girl turned her head sideways and looked at the maid, her eyes hollow, as if she had no focus.
"Do you know where my heart is?"
And the maid just glanced at her, pointed casually, and pointed at Ziegler, "He knows where your heart is, you sleep first, and when you wake up, he can put your heart in front of you." โ
โ...... I know. โ
With that, the puppet girl closed her eyes and fell back into hibernation.
The black dragon and the goddess of wealth were stunned for a moment, but they were still on guard just now, and the problem was solved so easily?
But unlike the two dragons and one god with dull eyes, the maid frowned and scolded in a low voice: "What a mess! How did those Arcanists do it, not only is it so easy to activate, but it is also so easy to sleep!"
I don't know what the Arcanists were working on in the first place, or why they created this puppet, but their original goal was certainly not what it is nowโactivation only required stimulating her soul while the puppet was sleeping, and dormancy only required a word.
After all, this doll is a 'half-finished product', or even a 'failure', but if the arcanists really did take the doll with him, as the red dragon had guessed, then what was the value of the doll, and why was the doll activated?
If you just want to take this doll, why is this doll activated?
โ...... How do you know?" Ziegler asked, surprised.
He didn't say anything, how did she know how to put the puppet into 'hibernation'?
The maid pinched her eyebrows with some headaches, there were too many things that she had just observed, and the side effects of forced memory made her a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.
"First of all, your curiosity is too strong, and secondly, you deduce that the Arcanist was killed by this puppet only if the puppet was able to move, either the puppet was still active when you saw the puppet, or you activated the puppet, otherwise you have no reason to think that the 'heartless' puppet killed the arcanists. When you took this doll out just now, she was in a dormant state, and no matter which possibility it was, you must have mastered the way to make her sleep, so you can guess from this. The maid glanced at Ziegler, "I'm not stupid!"
The Black Dragon and the Goddess of Fortune fell silent at the same time, and even after listening to the maid's explanation, they didn't know how to deduce the method of putting the puppet into hibernation.
Bang Bang Bang!
Ziegler couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaim: "You're amazing! By the way, you did guess it, it's the second possibility - this doll doesn't have a heart, but my curiosity inspired me, I tried to activate her, but I didn't expect it to be activated!"
"Is that ......?"
The maid let out a breath of turbidity, "Since this is the case, then it can be preliminarily concluded - this doll actually has a 'heart', before she was ready to be taken away, she was in an activated state, but I don't know what went wrong, her heart disappeared, and those arcanists were also killed by her one by one, just now when it was activated, the 'soul' was the basis of her operation as an organism, although there was no heart, but the 'soul' could still support her operation, that is, she may have devoured some 'souls'." โ
"Wait!" Huo Ran, the goddess of wealth, stood up, her eyes full of shock, "You just said that 'soul is the basis of her body's operation', which means that not only just now, but even when this red dragon activated her before, she also relied on 'soul' to be able to operate?"
The maid bowed, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have said, 'She may have devoured some souls'." This doll doesn't have any energy as support, and it can't be moved in theory, because after she was activated by me just now, the energy in her body can't be integrated because of the lack of 'heart', and it can't form a 'circulation', let alone a 'field', and the lack of this puppet's heart is a key!"
At this time, Cervantes also realized that something was wrong, raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "In other words, someone took the heart of this doll and put her into hibernation?
They were all smart people, and they didn't ask, 'Why is it so sure that this puppet killed the arcanists?', because they all knew that with Ziegler's personality and the 'rigor' necessary to be a mage, he must have fought the puppet girl once, otherwise he wouldn't have been so sure that the arcanists were killed by this puppet.
What really surprised them was that in addition to the 'puppet' and the 'arcanist', there were still people alive, and took away the puppet girl's heart, and let her go into hibernation, otherwise more than 800 years have passed, and if the puppet girl does not enter hibernation, the soul of the 'devoured' would have been consumed long ago, and Ziegler and Serena would not have been successfully activated respectively.
As for the puppet girl, she went into sleep on her own...... This may not be impossible, but it is not very likely, otherwise she would not be so easily 'activated' and 'go into hibernation'.
There seems to be some conspiracy behind this......
"Take her away, I don't have what you want here. โ
The maid sighed and put her glasses away, "I know what you want to do, but I don't have a method to make a miniature magic furnace or an elemental furnace here, nor do I have a gem with immense energy. But I can give you a piece of advice, dragons have pretty good hearts, especially yours, and if you put your heart on this puppet, maybe something interesting will happen?"
As she spoke, the maid looked at Ziegler with a smile, and her eyes made the red dragon shiver.
โ...... Okay, I'll give it a try. โ
Standing in front of this woman, it always felt like he was being seen through, and Ziegler didn't like it......
He's going to stay away from here!
The farther away the better!
