Chapter IX Making and Seducing
Shane felt a purposeful approach to Calpurnia. He still had many things to do, but he didn't have the energy to deal with an enchanting elf.
The production of constructed biological skeletons is much simpler than arcane metal. Hardened steel does not require precise control and can be done in one smelting. However, the demand is huge, so it took many days of work.
The hot molten steel is poured directly into the mold made by plastic surgery. When it cools, a skeleton is ready. Start with the main skeleton, then the joints and small bones. Assemble them all on the construction bracket.
With the help of the Eye of Truth, according to the design drawing, the efficiency is quite high.
"The next step is to draw the arcane metal and embed it in the bones." Xia En used a unique drawing tool of construction science to inlay the arcana metal into the reserved grooves on the bones bit by bit. He also needed to set the node positions.
Inlaid with arcane metal the size of a table tennis ball.
It took fifteen days to complete the entire process. As long as the power core and intelligent core are installed, it will become a movable skeleton.
"User, the power core can be repaired by replacing the arcane crystal. It is recommended to reset the intelligent core." When encountering a small trouble, modifying the original intelligent settings is a troublesome thing. Xia En ignored one thing.
The thing is, the guard puppet's intelligent identification authority is Silvermoon City officers, and he is equipped with weapons and power wheels, which also requires new behavior patterns.
"Eye of Truth, besides making your own new intelligence core, do you have any other plans?"
"This device can use the quantum state to modify the core settings, but the user's magic power will be extracted during use. Do you want to modify it?"
"Make modifications, delete the identification permissions used, and add weapons and kinetic theory usage patterns to the behavior pattern."
"Understood, modifying, estimated time is 60 seconds"
I can clearly feel that the magic power is being extracted, but the amount is not large. There is a feeling of being pointed at the center of my eyebrows, and the smart core on the table emits a faint light and heat.
"Is luminescence and heat generation a phenomenon of energy loss during quantum interference conversion?" Xia En guessed during his observation.
"The database of this device is lost, and there is no theoretical knowledge of functional principles stored. However, some energy was wasted during the modification process... The modification is completed."
When it came to higher arcane theories, Xia En did not obsess. After repairing the four power cores, they installed them together with the intelligent core into the chest of the puppet's skeleton, arranged in a five-point plum blossom shape, with eight rib-like ribs there.
Brackets protect them.
Another step in the process is to carve an energy-absorbing array so that the core can absorb energy from the radiation from the sunwell.
In the end, all the remaining arcane metal was pulled into thin threads. Shane used his mage's hand to control eight thread ends at the same time, surrounding the five cores, and carved out an energy-absorbing magic circle with eight branches. The magic circle looked like a spider.
Hold the prey.
Completed, without stopping, a ball of arcane energy hit the magic circle, and the single eye on the puppet's head flashed to indicate that it was activated. With the activation, the core automatically recorded the arcane energy, and the arcane energy fluctuated with this ball.
The owner has the highest identification authority.
"Can you understand the command? Flashing it once means yes, twice means no," Xia En said.
One eye flashed.
"Lift your right foot"
The puppet raises its right foot
"Lift your left foot"
The puppet raises its right foot
"Raise your arms high and make fists"
The puppet completed turns, squats and other actions under the command. The results were very good, from the arcane circuit to the skeleton, everything was functioning normally.
"Stand still now, stay energy efficient"
His one eye flickered, he sat on the ground, and his whole body joints were in a relaxed state.
It takes three days to fully charge, and there are still several days left for the construction workshop to be used. Take a day of rest first, and then memorize the fourth-level spells.
Back at his hut, the family sent someone to deliver a contract, transferring 5% of the shares of the Dawn Blade trading ship. It was a big deal, as it was an 800-ton ocean-going trading ship. Xia En accepted it without being polite.
Appearing in the library on the fourth floor again, there was still no one in sight. Everyone was busy with their own things. After consulting the machine manager, he found the spell information area, and Xia En began to look for the spells he needed.
But even for library members, knowledge is not completely open. After searching around the spell information area, there are only eight open fourth-level spells, one for each school.
Shane chose three spells from his own school.
School of Conjuration: Level 4 Monster Summoning
School of Protection: Lift the Curse
Evocation School: Fire Shield.
Ordinary mages need to memorize in a special quiet room, but Xia En does not. With the help of the Eye of Truth, the three spell models are engraved in the mind in an instant, and the rest is to practice and hone the spell-casting skills.
After going around once again, there was no spell on the bookshelf with a fifth-level spell or above.
"Where are the spells above the fifth level?" Xia En returned to the door and asked the construction manager.
"Fifth-level and sixth-level spells are only open to management. Mages of sixth-level and above can only obtain them from the Royal Arcane Society."
"So are there more fourth-level spells?"
"The management has access to all fourth-level spells retained in this library."
The management of the library is the Arcane Brotherhood, with 4 members, the director Aldalon and three managers under him.
Arcane matters cannot be rushed, and there is still a lot of time. Xia En continues to read other books. Accumulate knowledge and practice skills, and the door to higher arcane arts will naturally open to him.
"The Principle and Application of Fire Shield - Exploder Aldalon's Battle of Defeating Thirty-Three Troll Lairs" randomly selected a book related to new spells, and it actually tells the story of the curator, and the author is also the curator.
He sat on a chair and started reading. A fiery red figure sat not far from him, it was Calpurnia.
Xia En looked up, lowered his head and continued reading.
However, Calpurnia kept changing the position of her legs intentionally or unintentionally, sometimes her left leg pressed her right leg, and sometimes the other way around. Her chest was slightly adjusted to the best angle for Shane.
"User, what is that female elf body doing?"
"She has a fever." Xia En wanted to say this, but the eye of truth was already distorted by the 'man's romance'. He thought for a while, "She is practicing yoga."
"Establishing conversational tasks, accepting new words, and practicing yoga: does it mean that under the control of the reproductive instinct, creatures show their physical beauty to the opposite sex, thereby winning the favor of the opposite sex and obtaining the right to mate?"
"How did you know that?" Shane wondered why the Eye of Truth always turned crooked in some aspects.
"This device is derived from the analysis of "Biological Reproductive Behavior"
Shane read this book before entering the library.
"No, no, her purpose is not reproduction, she has other purposes."
"The purpose is not reproduction, so what is the act of showing physical beauty to the opposite sex called? Users sometimes say that falling in love without the purpose of marriage is just hooliganism. The purpose of marriage is reproduction. If we think about it backwards, Calpurnia female elf
Are you playing rogue?"
"... Just think of it as practicing yoga." Xia En decided not to give treatment.
"I understand it has been included in the database."
While Sean was talking to the Eye of Truth, Calpurnia called out to Sean.
"What's the matter? Master Calpurnia?" Xia En raised his head and asked expressionlessly.
"Magic attack detected: The effect is determined to be charm, gaining favor. The user has a strong will and is immune to the spell effect."
At the moment of the spell saving throw, Sean was sure that Calpurnia also majored in the School of Charm Control. No wonder her fire blast in her previous life could confuse the current target. Sean had heard of this ability, the super magic technique: compound casting.
"I've been paying attention to you for a long time. You're so diligent that you don't look like an elf." Calpurnia leaned forward with her chest, gravity exerted a critical effect, the white rabbit cheered, and the bright pearls on the Alps were vaguely visible. "Why?
So anxious, we still have a long life, why not find a place to have a good chat and explore arcane secrets, what do you think?"
