Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3914

Chapter 3914

Angel logged off and just walked out of the illusion hut when he heard the sound of heavy footsteps on the ground, accompanied by a whistling wind.

He looked in the direction of the sound, only to see the warehouse door opened. Among the many crystal puppets carrying goods, a figure quickly rushed out.

The light from outside the door shone on him, casting a golden silhouette against the light.

He was a burly man with a long-handled hammer on his back that was taller than him. He was taking two steps at a time and running quickly towards the direction of the illusion hut.

After a moment, with a burst of hearty laughter, the man stopped in front of Angel.

"I just logged off and you got the news?"

Angel raised his eyebrows and looked at the man in front of him. He was Naples, the temporary agent of this embryo factory.

Napoli chuckled twice and pointed at a crystal puppet with a missing leg in a corner not far away: "I'll ask it to help keep an eye on this side. If there's any movement at the door, send a message to me."

To avoid any misunderstanding from Ingres, Napoli quickly added: "It was only this time that they followed me... because the situation was urgent. I didn't let them follow me at other times."

As Napoli spoke, he walked to the crystal puppet and threw a piece of condensed crystal to it.

The crystal puppet immediately took the condensed crystal, opened the power source in its chest, and placed the condensed crystal inside.

Feeling the energy of the crystal, the corners of the crystal puppet's mouth curved into a crescent shape. At the same time, its lifeless eyes revealed a flattering look.

He put his hands together in perfect condition and kept bowing to Napoli, all he did was say "Thank you for the reward, big brother".

"You guy, all you do every day is chew on condensed crystals and pray." Napoli kicked the crystal puppet unhappily, but it was obvious that he didn't use much force, it just made its body tilt.

If he really used more force, this small crystal puppet could be kicked apart by him.

"Okay, go away, don't worship anymore, it's over for today."

Napoli waved it aside unhappily.

However, this crystal puppet was missing a leg and could only slide forward on one leg. It walked slowly, and after only a few steps, it sat down in another corner of the warehouse.

This was a completely different situation from the other crystal puppets around that were working diligently to transport the embryos.

"What's going on..."

Angel looked at the crystal puppet curiously. He had some impression of this crystal puppet with missing legs. He only remembered that it was always in the corner every time he came.

Angel thought it was a scrapped crystal puppet and ignored it.

I didn't expect it could still move?

Moreover, its facial expression just now was quite lively... at least, much more lively than the other crystal puppets around it.

"Sir, are you talking about ninety-five?"

"Does this crystal puppet without legs have a name?" Angel was stunned.

Napoli scratched the back of his head. "It's not really a name, it's just what I call it... Sir, you know that the crystal puppets here are all crystal-shell mechanical soldiers developed by the Crystal Eye Clan and Piruxiu, and now they are used as transport soldiers here."

"When these crystal puppets were delivered, they were painted in colorful colors with their numbers on them."

"However, their paint only lasted for two or three days before slowly fading. I bet that it must have been a dishonest merchant in Piruxiu who used low-quality paint. Fortunately, only the paint faded, and there was nothing wrong with their bodies..."

As Napoli was talking, he also complained about Piruxiu's character, and then continued: "This guy originally had a four-digit number, but when I saw it, the number on it had faded to only two digits, which is... 95."

“So, I just kept calling it Jiuwu.”

Angel: "It looks different from other crystal puppets. And you seem to be very particular about it?"

"It is indeed somewhat different from other crystal puppets..." Seeing that Angel was interested, Napoli briefly described its situation.

At first, Jiuwu was actually no different from other crystal puppets, at least Napoli didn't see the difference. But later, when Jiuwu was carrying goods, he fell from the bubble to the ground and broke one of his legs.

Normally, Napoli would "deal with" a broken crystal puppet directly. But just as he asked the other puppets to drag Jiuwu away, Jiuwu bowed to him with a flattering look in his eyes.

Crystal puppets have a certain ability to understand, and in a sense, it can be said that they possess the most basic intelligence.

But this was the first time Naples had seen someone as emotionally agile as Jiuwu.

Therefore, Naples did not let anyone get rid of Jiuwu, but just threw it in the warehouse and asked it to help supervise the work.

Every time Jiuwu sees Napoli, he will bow, and then Napoli will throw a condensed crystal to it.

Condensed crystal is an energy source for it, which can be understood as the "source of life". After it obtains the condensed crystal, it worships it even more earnestly.

"That's the way it is." Napoli shrugged. "I guess it has undergone some kind of mutation and gained enlightened intelligence?"

This situation is not uncommon in Naples.

Many spiritual materials will occasionally show abnormal activity.

Even Naples' own "living fire technique" can make some flames become spiritual.

Besides, there were a lot of things going on in Naples, so he was too lazy to care about such a small matter. He just left Jiuwu here for fun.

"If you are interested in Jiuwu, just take him away."

In a sense, the ownership of the embryo factory belongs to Angel, so if he wants to take a crystal puppet away, he doesn't need to report it at all.

Angel shook his head: "I'm not interested, I just think..."

"What do you think?" Naples didn't hear clearly what Ingres said next.

Angel: "I just feel that it's a little unfair to the other hardworking crystal puppets to see it lying there and being lazy."

Napoli: “…Ah?”

Angel: "I mean, why not just attach the legs to it?"

Napoli: "Piluccio is in charge of repairing this part. But they don't seem to be too concerned about sending someone to repair Jiuwu's leg..."

"Then let me help it repair one of its legs before they send someone over."

After Ingres finished speaking, before Naples could come to his senses, he walked up to Jiuwu and snapped his fingers lightly.

"Sir, if you want to repair its leg, I have a broken leg, I need..." Napoli chased forward and was about to say something, but he found that Jiuwu's missing leg had... appeared?!

It only took less than a second? It's already fixed?

Napoli looked at Jiuwu's legs in confusion, then looked at Ingres.

How is this done?

Not to mention Naples, Jiuwu himself was confused. It was just sitting on the side, how could someone suddenly approach it and give it an angelic smile...

Then it heard the angel's whisper:

"Try to stand up. If there's no problem, then start working." Angel smiled and said, "It's not good to be lazy."

Jiuwu: “…” It was mistaken. It was not an angel’s smile at all. It was the devil’s hideous grin!

Angel clapped his hands and turned to look at Napoli who was still confused: "Let's go, you came online to see me because of something, right?"

Napoli nodded dully: "Master De's side..."

Angel made an "understood" gesture and said, "Let's go, you lead the way."

Naples walked to the front in confusion. He hesitated and looked back, only to see Jiuwu already wandering there.

In other words, that foot... is really useful.

How is this done?

Although Naples had witnessed Angel's high efficiency in refining the "chip manufacturing machine" before, wasn't it too exaggerated that it could be completed in one second?

Naples himself was a craftsman, and he could never imagine creating a thigh in just one second.

This is already a miracle, right?!

Napoli led the way in confusion, and even walked for almost half a minute before realizing that he had taken the wrong road: "Wrong way, go this way."

Only after Naples found the correct direction did he come to his senses.

He looked at Angel with a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to ask something but didn't know whether he should ask.

Angel looked at Napoli's constipated face and felt uncomfortable. He said directly: "Ask whatever you want to ask... You want to ask, how did that leg do that?"

Napoli nodded, then looked at Angel with a hint of expectation: "Sir, you must have made it in advance, right?"

Angel: “What do you think?”

Napoli looked a little uncomfortable: "I think it should have been refined in advance."

If it was really achieved at that moment, Napoli would feel that he had been living a completely shitty life all these years.

He could accept Ingres's genius, but if his genius reached such a level, he would feel that his life was meaningless.

Angel: "It's not prepared in advance."

Hearing this answer, Napoli looked miserable.

"But that doesn't count as alchemy."

Hearing that it was not alchemy, Napoli felt like he was alive again, and looked at Angel with bright eyes.

Angel took several steps back.

Just imagine, a burly man staring at you with eyes that twinkle like stars. How incongruous would that feel...

After he felt he had retreated to a safe distance, Angel said, "That was just an illusion."

"So it's an illusion..." Napoli suddenly realized, but he was stunned again. Could an illusion be so powerful? He had just seen Jiuwu stand up, and he could even see the crystal gears on his knees running.

Facing Napoli's doubts, Angel said seriously: "Although it is an illusion, the internal structure is definitely that of a leg."

"Since the structure is complete, it can naturally function normally."

Napoli: "But that's an illusion?!"

"What illusion can do is beyond your imagination." Angel ended the argument with these words.

But Napoli still felt full of doubts. If it was an illusion, wouldn't it be enough to just use illusion to simulate the shape of the legs?

But Angel said that he used illusion to simulate every structure of the leg, including parts, gears, chains, crystal pumps... every structure was simulated.

If an illusion can simulate such details, is it still an illusion?

Are you using illusion to create alchemy? !

Naples felt confused and complaining.

Angel was not a dog butler, and he didn't know what Napoli was complaining about in his heart, but if he heard it, he would probably be surprised.

Because Napoli's complaints really came true.

He was indeed using illusion to create alchemy.

To be precise, he used... fantasy alchemy.

This was his own alchemy, combining nightmares and some mysterious concrete things, and then slowly exploring and gradually finding a way to do it.

Ingres personally feels that we are still a long way from achieving true fantasy alchemy.

Just like Jiuwu's leg, it looked usable at first glance, and there wouldn't be any major problems. But Angel knew very well that the leg was made of nightmare and could only last for half a year.

Half a year later, if Jiuwu can find the Nightmare Stone, he will be able to replenish the consumption and allow it to continue to exist.

If he can't find the Nightmare Stone and doesn't come to Angel to replenish his Nightmare Power, then this leg will disappear completely.

This is still a long way from the "fantasy alchemy" that Angell envisioned. Angell's idea is that the finished product of fantasy alchemy can exist forever like other alchemical props.

But now, the leg will still dissipate over time and has no special supernatural effects. It is more like an "illusion" rather than a "work of alchemy."

Therefore, Angel personally feels that this is not true fantasy alchemy, but is more like illusion.

But in fact, if this matter were known to outsiders——

Using illusion to create a structure similar to an alchemical tool, it not only exerted the alchemical effect, but also lasted for half a year. This was a big earthquake in any alchemical circle.

You know, illusion is an almost "no-cost" business!

Now, Naples has been affected by this great earthquake. Of course, it is not the first to be affected.

The last person affected was Laplace.

When Angel made an illusion doll for Gabriel that could be used in reality, Laplace saw it on the spot. It was completed in an instant, and the internal structure was even more exquisite than Jiuwu's legs.

At that time, Laplace saw how special Ingres' alchemy was.

Even though Laplace was not from the alchemy circle, she knew that once Angel perfected this kind of fantasy alchemy, the shock it would cause would be unimaginable.

Compared to the great earthquake in the hearts of Laplace and Naples, Ingres himself was actually not aware of it.

In other words, he realized that "utopian alchemy" was very magical, but he did not feel that he had started to rush down the path of utopian alchemy.

This can be seen from the fact that he classified Jiuwu's legs as "illusion".

In fact, Angel's understanding was not wrong, because according to his own plan, neither Jiuwu's legs nor the illusion doll he had made for Gabriel had reached the level of imaginary creation.

However, even if he has not yet reached the level of fantasy alchemy, his ability has already surpassed the "illusion" itself.

This is something that all other illusion wizards, even true illusion wizards who are proficient in "transforming truth into falsehood", cannot do.

Napoli looked at Ingres, opened his mouth as if to say something, but finally closed it.

Before this, he actually admired Ingres very much. Now, it was more than just admiration, it was more of respect... He even felt like he was looking up to a mountain when facing Ingres.

The last person who gave him a similar feeling was Algaron, Lord De.
