The arrival of Fugidia not only startled Noland Lee and Philia.
The two Death Notice Guild Wizards stationed on the rooftop of the abandoned building also detected Fugidia’s presence.
But before they could perform “Death Flight” to escape, two streaks of Black
Lightning shot out from the swarm of bats that Fugidia had transformed into. The Black Lightning spanned almost a thousand kilometers in an instant, landing next to the Death Notice Guild Wizards.
The strength of the Third-Ring Wizards was really not to be underestimated, such extensive casting range, such precision in spell control. The two streaks of Black Lightning exploded right next to the feet of the Death Notice Guild Wizards, kicking up two patches of stone chips. The threat in the lightning was obvious, but neither hurt the Death Notice Guild Wizards in the slightest.
The two Death Notice Guild Wizards stiffened, only feeling that within the quickly approaching swarm of bats, a pair of icy eyes were fiercely watching them.
They knew that there was no chance of them escaping, so all they could do was to grit their teeth, stand in place, and wait for the other party to arrive.
“Ray Lee, do you think Fugidia is chasing after us or following the Observers of the Death Notice Guild?”
The magic car was hidden on the sand dunes 10 kilometers away from the abandoned building, its body concealed behind a boulder. Only the front driver’s seat and front hood were exposed.
Philia, holding a telescope, looked far in the direction of the abandoned building. She saw the embarrassing state of the Death Notice Guild Wizards almost being struck by the black lightning.
“Fugidia should be following the Observers of the Death Notice Guild.” Noland Lee responded.
Philia adjusted the focus of her telescope, observing every move of the Death Notice Guild Wizards and Fugidia. She said helplessly:
“It’s a pity that I haven’t mastered the Eavesdropping Art, otherwise I would have been able to know what they are saying.”
“I have a solution, Philia.”
Noland Lee reached into his backpack. From the Folding Space attached to his backpack, he pulled out a palm-sized Mechanical Spider.
“Is this…an Alchemical Construct?” Philia blinked at the petite Mechanical Spider, asking:
“Did you make this yourself?”
“Yes, indeed. I received some advanced alchemy knowledge from Fars Scott. I referred to the alchemical blueprints in the books, and after much effort, I managed to make this little thing.”
As Noland was speaking, he was pouring Soul Energy into the energy storage device inside the Mechanical Spider.
“Are you planning to use it to eavesdrop on their conversation?” Philia tilted her head, puzzled:
“But we are at least 10 kilometers away from the abandoned building, won’t your ‘Perceptual Link’ with the Alchemical Construct be cut off? And where are the gloves you use to control the Alchemical Construct?”
Facing a barrage of questions from Philia, Noland calmly smiled:
“Can you keep a secret for me? This is related to my Experience Task. The
Professor sent me to Union City not just to see if there’s a way to bypass the Death Notice Guild and study the Undead Cult, but also to test a new and novel magic the Professor invented.”
“Oh, I see.” Philia obediently closed her mouth, no longer probing into the matter. Instead, she watched Noland’s operations with curious eyes.
Seeing that the title ‘Sleeping Monument Master’ kept Philia quiet, Noland felt relieved.
Hehe.
It seemed for wizards who respect the Ulnas Ring Law, just mentioning the name of the Professor was enough to explain many things.
The Mechanical Spider in Noland’s hand was only the size of a palm, mini and petite, much smaller than the Mechanical Spiders produced by the Alchemy Academy.
But don’t underestimate this little thing, it combines all of Noland’s research progress from the past half a month.
Noland named it the Heart Control Spider.
‘Mind Beacon’ + ‘Mind Control’, these two spells formed the control system of the Heart Control Spider.
‘Mind Beacon’ made the Heart Control Spider, which lacks a mind, the target of Mental Magic.
‘Mind Control’ allows Noland to directly control the Heart Control Spider, and thus issue commands to the transmission device, energy device, auxiliary system, and firepower system inside the Heart Control Spider.
The design inspiration for the mechanical structure of the transmission device came from Fars Scott’s Mechanical Spider. Noland had to spend a few thousand Energy Points to get the blueprint of the alchemical parts inside that Mechanical Spider.
The energy device used an alchemy array that converted Soul Energy into elemental energy, and a built-in energy storage device that could store up to 10 points of Soul Energy.
The auxiliary system included ‘Swift Runes’ to speed up the Heart Control Spider’s movement, ‘Distant Vision Runes’ to magnify distant images, ‘Eavesdropping Runes’ for directional collection of sound information, etc.
The firepower system was much simpler.
In fact, he didn’t expect the Heart Control Spider, just half the size of a palm, to provide much firepower.
Noland only installed an ‘Acid Burst Rune’ in this small thing and didn’t install any other alchemical runes. As soon as Noland issues the self-destruct command, the Heart Control Spider will explode in a splatter of acid, destroying all things inside itself while attacking the enemy.
Above, is the crystallization of Noland’s wisdom in recent times.
For such an alchemical construct that is controlled by mental magic, Noland gave it a very nice name:
‘Mechanos’.
The implication was a mechanical creature created with Mental Magic as the control system, Soul Energy as the basic source of power, alchemical parts to build the transmission structure, and alchemical arrays to realize basic functions.
Look, this is the wonderful result of different extraordinary fields blending together..
