Chapter 0183 Magical Puppet
Near morning
The light gradually became brighter, but Jaina, who was sitting slumped on the back of the Dilophosaurus, had a depressed look on her face.
The discomfort caused by clearing the magic element has been relieved a little, and the pale face has gained some color.
Little Sylvie in her arms had already dozed off, but Gianna was not even half sleepy.
She is very depressed...
Because of Reese's hesitation...
I thought that saving him, coupled with my righteous speech, would make the Duke of Reese surrender voluntarily...
But he hesitated...
Reise is not Jie Yin, he is more bloody than Jie Yin, and unlike Jie Yin, he only ends up with King Lipu. He has hope for both Jaina and the country.
So after roughly understanding his character, Jaina chose to help him.
She dispatched Pedro and saved Riser and 20,000 Rakiru's infantry. For such a big favor, she believed that Riser knew how to repay it.
But he hesitated...
If you can't completely conquer and return to your heart 100%, then you would rather not conquer it yet!
It is Jaina's rule to prefer to be more cautious than indiscriminate. A subordinate who cannot be fully controlled is not what she needs.
"Still, I need some heat!"
Jaina sighed secretly in her heart.
To conquer Ruise, she still needs an opportunity, but if she is just a little short of it, it will be a matter of course...
…
"By the way... Sean, don't you have anything to say about the demon puppet?"
After thinking for a long time, without any clue, the bored Jaina finally looked at Sean, who was seriously exercising his mental power on the dragon's spine.
In the banquet hall, Sean easily controlled and subdued two great warrior-level demon puppets. And that unbelievable method made Jaina think about it.
"Puppet?"
After being awakened by Gianna, Sean frowned slightly. Ever since he signed the contract with the goddess of destiny, this sloppy and blood-hating man seemed to have become a different person. His hard work and diligence made Gianna secretly speechless.
Fortunately, the existence of the soul contract made him not wary of Jaina at all.
"The magic puppet, also called the magic puppet, is a war machine driven by magic and is made of rare materials with excellent magic conductivity!"
Sean explained seriously.
But Gianna just gave him a blank look.
"Idiot! I didn't ask you what a demon puppet is!
What is your relationship with Golem?
How did you capture those two demon puppets so easily?"
"Uh... Your Highness, you ask this?"
Sean shrugged, but then he revealed a mysterious smile...
"The demon puppet is not a product of our time. This kind of war machine appeared thousands of years ago.
The White Night Empire's history of manufacturing demon puppets is only a short forty years, but their technology is far from comparable to other countries on the continent.
Because they have the smartest magician on the continent - Sean Warsa!"
Sean's serious tone made Jaina suddenly stunned.
Thinking about the meaning of those words, she looked a little unbelievable...
"You...can create a demon puppet?"
She looked at Sean in surprise, her eyes widened.
"No, no, no, it's not that simple to make!" Sean shook his head and suddenly became excited.
"Although I am not the inventor of the magic puppet, I am its discoverer!
It was me who recovered and designed the first demon puppet!"
He straightened his expression and explained quickly.
"Legend has it that the Magic Puppet was designed by the demon god Oak, and was manufactured and controlled by the demons. It is a real killing machine. It has no hesitation about emotions. Once it receives an order, it will be fully implemented."
"There are records of demon puppets in many documents and ancient historical materials. However, they are only one-sided descriptions and there is no actual manufacturing method."
When I was in the White Night Empire, adventurers from the empire excavated the remains of the demon puppet from the ancient ruins.
And I teamed up with several magician-level puppet masters to study the wreckage for several months.
Magical element transmission, control arrays, driving spells, these are all what I discovered from the wreckage.
Although he successfully restored the demon puppet in the end, his strength was somewhat unsatisfactory.
Because there are so few documents and restored data, and there are only a few remains of the demon puppets in the ruins, even with my efforts, the only ones that can be mass-produced in the end are those at the level of great magicians and great warriors..."
Sean was very excited when he said it, but Gianna was dumbfounded...
"It was you who discovered and restored the method of making demon puppets!
Then can you also..."
She looked at Sean excitedly, with little stars in her eyes...
"Um... I'm afraid, I'm going to disappoint His Highness..."
He understood why Gianna was so happy and what she was thinking, but Sean shook his head gently.
"We...can't create a demon puppet.
Or you can say...
We cannot afford to build or raise demon puppets..."
He curled his lips and explained angrily.
"Demon puppets cannot compete with humans of the same level. I believe His Highness already knows this.
Because the original design intention of the demon puppet was just to replace the soldiers of the demon clan...
The single attack method, slow reaction speed compared to human warriors, all determine that they are just regular troops of the demon clan, soldiers who win by numbers..."
"For the soldiers on the Ork continent now, the demon puppet is undoubtedly very powerful, but its shortcomings and limitations are also very obvious.
The first is the expensive manufacturing cost.
On the Ork continent today, the only country that can produce demon puppets is the White Night Empire, but this is not just a technical limitation.
Expensive magic materials and magician-level manufacturers are what many small countries on the Ork continent long for but cannot reach."
"With materials worth 20,000 gold coins, plus three magician-level puppet masters, it takes a month to build one, and this is already the limit..."
Sean smiled bitterly and sighed leisurely.
“And there’s energy!
A dedicated magician is needed to supply the energy of the demon puppet, but this is not worth the gain...
Sacrifice a magister to support a magic puppet with the level of a magister. This idiot's behavior is obviously very unreasonable.
So magic crystals are a good choice, but magic crystals that are equivalent to gold are not something small countries can afford."
He spoke again, but Jaina's face had darkened...
“The most important thing is transportation and carrying.
Demon puppets exist for war, but unlike conventional troops, each demon puppet, which weighs nearly five hundred kilograms, cannot travel long distances to the battlefield by itself like normal soldiers.
The consumption of magic crystals for hundreds of kilometers has added extra costs to the war, and it is very huge.
Even when the demon puppet is not moving, it will still consume mana. This is a design flaw that I haven't had time to solve yet.
However, compared to all-weather mobility, this has reduced a lot of consumption, so using dedicated horse trucks for transportation will reduce the consumption of magic crystals.
But this increases the manpower burden, and the mobility of the demon puppet is greatly reduced...
These are not qualified soldiers needed for war.
So His Highness wants to create a demon puppet..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
