Artificer Adventure Guide

"Don't be too upset just yet. Maybe after you memorize the knowledge, your understanding speed will go up."

After bringing some food to Lisanna, Karl tried to comfort her.

But Lisanna, who had suffered a loss, obviously didn't quite believe what Karl said.

"Don't talk about this now. If we talk again, Lisanna will cry. By the way, do you know anything about Jin Quan? When school was over today, a parent of a student came over and wanted to participate in the School of Change. who provide funding.

He claimed to be a member of the Golden Power Society and wore several golden rings on his hand. "

After touching Lisanna's hair, Nia took the initiative to change the topic.

"The Golden Power Club? Hmm~, you'd better not have anything to do with them."

Hearing Karl's half-hidden and half-revealed words, Nia sat up straight and continued to ask: "What happened to them?"

His expression twisted, and Karl introduced the Golden Power Club in more objective terms.

“In general, this is a group of people who have risen through emerging technologies, but although they are keen on charity, they will also do things that harm the country or the people behind the scenes.

The first few members of the Parliament of the Kingdom of Breland are said to be members of the Golden Power Society. "

Rather than calling the organization the "Golden Power Society," Karl prefers to call these people "capital."

And based on some of the conversations he and Morgban had while working overtime, Karl felt that the reason why the tower owner paid so much attention to the phantom device was because members of the Golden Power Society were trying to control the public opinion of ordinary people in Aundair.

Although in a world with supernatural powers, the power of the people at the bottom is limited, as long as ordinary people still need to do ordinary jobs, ordinary people still have the value of existence.

"So, it's not a good thing for them to come to fund the School of Change?"

Taking a sip of the fragrant broth, Nia's brows slowly knitted together.

"Then I don't know, but these people are very good at making money. Maybe they found some way to make money in the rules of the game."

Shrugging, Karl stopped delving further into the topic.

After eating, Karl began to make intelligence headbands for Lisanna and other rangers.

But this time he made an ordinary intelligence headband. After all, rangers don't need to wear power armor.

The increase in intelligence attributes increased Karl's speed a lot. Before evening, he had finished making an intelligence headband and handed it to Lisanna.

…

Half a month later, Carl made an intelligence headband for all the exchange student rangers.

And he himself has learned the basic knowledge about constructs, and is ready to try to make one to act as a helper.

Of course, before that, he had to upgrade the appearance of Nia's "Heavy Bunny".

"Zila——"

In the production workshop of the Tower of Strange Mechanics, Karl operated a lathe and was processing a piece of metal material.

The game experience in his previous life became a source of inspiration for him as his artificer skills gradually improved. At this time, Carl was trying to turn the motorcycle into a modified form of the Heavy Rabbit.

In terms of design drawings, Karl has debugged them many times in the dream world, so he is now quite proficient in making them.

Although the Iron Guard is also a type of construct, it is actually more mechanical. Except for the parts that are the core of intelligence and energy, the rest are machines.

Although traditional constructs look like large machines, their cores are real magic. What transmits power to them is a muscle-like clockwork structure etched with magic patterns and embedded with runes. Their shells are constant. Ritual magic to bring them to life.

Although the two are both constructs, they are moving towards each other from both sides of technology and magic.

This is why Karl was able to help Nia design the reloaded bunny before, but now he still has to learn about constructs.

With the sparks of welding, a prototype machine was gradually perfected. Seeing that the main part of the machine body was completed, Karl took out a gem from his backpack.

Holding the gem with both hands, azure magic burst out from Karl's palms.

Complex spell-infused magic patterns appeared on the gemstone, and magic power surrounded it, as if it would turn from reality to reality at any time.

But Karl did not let it change into its actual form. Instead, he opened the Iron Guard's breastplate and placed the gem in the Iron Guard's chest.

When the gem is perfectly embedded in the bayonet, magic flows out from here.

The magic patterns etched on the body of the steel guard lit up one after another, the breastplate refitted, and the eyes on the head lit up with a faint yellow light.

"Greetings, Master!"

Moving his body, the steel guard slowly floated up from the ground.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Walking quickly in front of him, Karl grabbed the Iron Guard's waist and turned it back and forth to check.

This Iron Guard is just like the original Heavy Rabbit. It is an intelligent robot with only the upper body. Carl uses an electromagnetic levitation device to make it float.

When fighting, it will float behind Carl, just like the spirit behind him.

"It feels good, Master, but the weapon device is missing important parts, and the motorcycle form is missing wheels..."

With the radiance of magic power in his eyes from time to time, the Iron Guard answered the questions he detected truthfully.

"It's okay. These two things haven't been made yet. Come on, try this first."

As he spoke, Karl took out two "cannon barrels" from his backpack.

This is a "barrel" with a freezing ray function. Its only function is to fire freezing rays.

If you have to find a difference between it and the freezing rays released by ordinary spellcasters, it is that the spells it fires are relatively rough.

However, no matter how rough it is, the damage is still the same.

He aimed the two barrels at the buckles on his body, and the Iron Guard was connected to the barrels with two "clicks".

The magic pattern inside the barrel lit up, and as long as Carl had a thought, they would fire freezing rays.

He sent a command to the Iron Guard with his mind, and the suspended Iron Guard began to deform instantly.

After a sound of mechanism changes, a motorcycle without wheels appeared in front of Carl.

The electromagnetic suspension device was still in effect, so the motorcycle-shaped Iron Guard was still floating in the air.

"Very good! The effect is good, um~ What name should I give you?

Heavy-duty bunny? No, that's just the model of your shell.

By the way! You have to help me handle various tasks in the future, um! I'll call you V!"

It is said that in Night City, as long as you meet someone and say, "Are you the famous V?" there will be a big enemy who will do all the dirty work for you.

Carl felt that his artificial life servants should also have such a service spirit for him.

"I received the master's name, V is happy to serve you."

The car lights flashed, and V's voice did not have any emotional fluctuations.

Another command was sent to V's core, and V changed into the steel guard form again, and then floated behind Carl.

"The next step is to make a hardcover version of your body, V, help me."

"Okay, master."
