Artificer Adventure Guide

"V, how does it feel?"

After a long time, Carl installed a volleyball-sized floating cannon on V's body.

It's more like "sticking" to V's body than installing it.

The interface of the floating cannon uses magnetic suction technology to ensure that it will not be thrown out due to violent movement.

When V was reactivated, five floating cannons floated from its body and spread out behind it.

"Master, I have connected the floating cannon and feel good."

"Very good! Then let's try the power! Flame arrow!"

The command was issued, and immediately a flame flew out of the floating cannon.

The scorching flame flow was fast and accurately hit the wall designated by Carl as the target.

"Well! Not bad!"

Looking at the charred marks on the wall, Carl was generally satisfied.

The power of many tricks can become stronger as the level increases. At present, this attack method is "promising in the future."

"If you do something in the yard again, I won't clean it for you!"

Glazing at Carl, Nia chanted a few spells and cleaned up the burnt marks on the wall.

"Haha, sorry, I'm quite excited. Are you interested in going to the Demiplane Labyrinth with me? I need to debug some mechanisms inside, and you can follow me to upgrade."

Some mages and mechanics always ignore the improvement of their own strength because they are obsessed with the accumulation of knowledge.

As a well-known genius of the School of Change, Nia is currently only a level 2 mage.

"Are you sure? I can't even guarantee that I won't be a drag."

Faced with Carl's suggestion, Nia was not very enthusiastic.

She prefers the traditional mage upgrade route - by copying scrolls and making alchemical potions.

"Don't be so disappointing! I can guarantee that your upgrade speed will definitely be as fast as a magic horse, and more activities will also help your body grow. Look at me, I'm so tall now since I adventured in the dungeon!"

Putting a bodybuilder's posture, Carl said with a solemn oath.

The reason why exercise can promote physical growth made Nia eager to try.

"Okay, I'll prepare. When do you plan to go?"

"Then tomorrow! I remember that your school of change seems to be setting up a gold workshop recently? You can take this opportunity to go with me."

"Don't you take Lisanna with you?"

"Uh~, don't take her for now. I can only take care of one person."

...

"Huh~, is the temperature here a bit wrong?"

At the entrance of the teleportation light gate of the No. 2 demiplane, Carl fanned his palms, looking very uncomfortable.

The surrounding air was full of water vapor, coupled with a high temperature of at least 40 degrees, making people wonder whether this was a demiplane or a steamer.

As a last resort, he had to immediately re-install the helmet of the power armor and activate the underwater breathing magic pattern to isolate the high temperature.

Nia on the side was also uncomfortable with the heat, so she took out the battle mage wand, shook it gently and waved it.

The abundant water vapor in the air slowly gathered and formed a water ring around her.

There were a lot of ice floating in the water ring, which made her body temperature drop a little.

"Didn't you see the latest half-plane maze map? The first four half-planes are connected to the four elemental planes, so they will show some of the characteristics of the elemental planes."

Perhaps she felt that the cooling measures just now were not enough. After speaking, Nia took out another bottle of resistance potion and drank it in small sips.

The fiery red magic flashed on her body, and then she completely adapted to the high temperature around her.

"It's been a bit too busy recently, No. 1, where is the nearest secret eye mechanism house?"

In front of the two people, Moore's artificial life servant No. 1 was leisurely. When he heard Carl's words, it immediately raised one leg and pointed to the right.

"V!"

Controlling V to transform into a motorcycle, Carl put No. 1 on the front of the motorcycle, and then took Nia on the motorcycle.

With the operation of the energy core, the tires of the motorcycle turned rapidly, carrying the two forward.

Soon, the group successfully arrived at the mechanism hut of this plane. With the help of V, Carl quickly completed the command modification of the secret eye mechanism.

But just as they were rushing towards the teleportation light gate of the next half plane, an old friend stopped them in front of them.

"Wow! Isn't this a fire lizard!"

Beside the steaming hot spring, the fire lizard holding a spear spoke the language of the fire tribe and stared at Carl and Nia.

Unlike those idiots in the dungeon, many fire snakes gathered around this fire lizard, and it seemed that he was not a master who liked to fight alone.

"Master Carl, these fire lizards and fire snakes should be connected to the half plane and the fire element plane. Don't worry that they will die. Even if you kill them all, they will quickly make up."

Lying on the front of the car, No. 1 provided Carl with information about these monsters in a timely manner.

"That's great. Do you think I would say that? Nia! Action!"

With the sound of mechanical transformation, V changed back to the form of a steel guard, with a pair of mechanical hands opening and closing, looking quite terrifying.

The fire lizard on the opposite side waved its arm, and four or five fire snakes came sprinting over.

"Good job!"

Carl strode forward with a shout, followed closely by V.

Carl stretched out his left hand and made a move, and V followed suit.

But V's arms and palms were larger than Carl's body, and when he stretched out his hands, he was just about to touch the leading fire snake.

At this moment, Carl clenched the hand armor of the power armor.

V synchronized Carl's movements in real time, and then directly captured the fire snake.

Without giving the other party a chance to struggle, Carl controlled V's other arm to catch the lower body of the fire snake, and then exerted force with both arms.

"Bang~"

Like pulling a rubber band, the body of the fire snake was instantly straightened and broke from the middle.

V's arms are already in the category of large creatures in terms of strength and size, plus the strength attribute of nearly 19 points, it is easy to tear a fire snake apart.

The only regret is that it is not flexible enough, and it may be targeted by other adventurers with superb combat skills.

The pros and cons of V flashed through his mind, and Carl activated his psychic power and tried to control V with thoughts instead of physical movements.

"Whoosh~"

The whistling wind sounded, and V's fist cut through the air and slammed into the second fire snake.

The fire snake's body suddenly thrust forward, and something like bones protruded from its back. It looked like it was going to die.

At this moment, a slightly smaller fire snake took advantage of V's attack and attacked Carl.

"Bang!"

A thunderous fist was thrown, and the fire snake was knocked out by a punch.

Nia, who was standing behind, took out the magic missile wand at the right time. The flash dart generated by the wand drew an arc and accurately hit the fire snake that was trying to turn over.

"Carl! I'll deal with this! You guard the front!"

Quickly dividing the work for the two, Nia didn't look like she didn't want to take risks before, and she was excited to deal with the fire snake.

"Waste!" (Fire Tribe language)

Cursing his subordinates, the fire lizard rushed over with a spear.

Several fire snakes surrounded him and supported him. Carl couldn't block them all. He could only try his best to control V's hands to close and form a defense.

But this fire lizard was also very smart.

Seeing that the mechanical arm was about to close, he quickly swung his arm and threw the spear in his hand quickly.

With a "clang", the spear pierced Carl's power armor.

A white mark appeared on the power armor, and then V's mechanical hand clamped the spear.

Behind him, Nia had completed her first kill.

She was immersed in the state of spiritual improvement at this time, and was a little absent-minded.

No. 1 was guarding her side, guarding her against attacks that might come at any time.

"So this is what Carl said about killing monsters to level up. It is indeed different from copying scrolls."

Muttering to herself, Nia quickly woke up from the state of rapid spiritual improvement.

Seeing Carl being beaten by the fire lizard, she immediately recited a spell.

At the front of the battlefield, Carl, who blocked an attack with his defense, regained his strength.

The fluctuation of psychic energy emanated, and Carl relied on the effects of psychic energy and the intelligence headband to fully activate the five floating guns on V.

But before he could release the attack, a deep sense of fatigue emerged from the depths of his soul.

The intelligence attribute improved by equipment is not his own after all, and Carl's soul "pulled muscles".

With strong spirit, Carl reduced the number of activated floating guns to two.

Freezing rays and lightning traction were fired one after another, leaving two marks on the body of the fire lizard.

'Recover! '

Activating his warrior characteristics, Carl extracted the energy hidden in his body to relieve his condition.

At this time, the fire lizard had come close to Carl.

A pair of super-hot big hands grasped the handle of the spear again, intending to pull it out of V's mechanical hand.

Just at this moment, several magic missiles attacked and exploded on the arms of the fire lizard.

Feeling the pain, the fire lizard quickly let go of the hand holding the spear.

‘Good opportunity! ’

Seizing the opportunity, Carl controlled V to take the spear in his own hand, and then stabbed the fire lizard back.

“Puff!”

The sharp spear pierced the fire lizard’s body, but the piercing attack was the slightest injury to the elemental life.

If the spear had not been accompanied by a little magic, this attack would not cause any harm to the fire lizard.

But…

Who said that you can’t kill people without a spear head?.JPG

With the brilliance of psychic energy in his eyes, Carl activated V’s Thunder Fist.

“Buzz——”

The ultrasonic vibration was transmitted along the spear, and the fire lizard, who was grabbing the spear with both hands and trying to take back his weapon, suddenly had a “flower” all over his body.

The fire elemental power that constituted his body was just “shaken”, which greatly damaged his body structure, and a large amount of fire elements flowed out of his body.

If it were a mortal, this would probably shake his brain.

"Damn human!"

With a wail, the fire lizard retreated in embarrassment.

But how could Carl let him go at this time?

Taking a step, Carl no longer forced himself to control V with his mind and returned to the previous synchronization mode.

Reaching out and grabbing the fire lizard's arm, Carl swung his arm vigorously, performing a scene of the Hulk smashing Loki.

While making a mess, he did not forget to continue to activate the effect of the Thunder Fighting Fist.

After a few smashes, the mechanical hand was suddenly empty.

The fire lizard actually dissipated directly in mid-air.

The few fire snakes that were about to help were stunned for a moment, and then quickly jumped into the hot spring next to them.

The hot body left a "hissing" white mist on the water surface. Indistinctly, Carl saw the treasure chest in the hot spring pool.

"Huh~, the battle is over, hurry to the next mechanism house to repair, I feel my brain is a little bit exhausted."

Shaking his head, Carl controlled V to turn back into a motorcycle, and the group quickly headed for the teleportation light gate.

As they passed through the light gate, the surrounding environment instantly changed from scorching hot to normal.

The hut where the secret eye mechanism was stored stood on a cliff not far away.

Carl did not hide his figure, and drove the motorcycle directly to the side of the hut.

No. 1 quickly opened the authority, and Carl took Nia and V into it.

After writing the program into the secret eye mechanism, Carl took off his power armor directly and fell asleep on the floor.

...

"Carl? Carl! Wake up!"

I don't know how long it took, Carl woke up from his sleep.

This time he didn't enter the dream world, and his mind was still a little groggy after waking up.

He slightly mobilized his spiritual energy, but Carl's soul was like an over-exercised muscle, full of a sense of weakness.

The fluctuation of spiritual energy rose slightly, and then it was silenced.

"Your soul is exhausted because you forcefully drive the device, but you don't have to worry. This is also the way for spellcasters to exercise the strength of their souls. Just get used to it."

Seeing that Carl finally woke up from his coma, Nia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She served Carl with a bowl of broth. While helping Carl sit up, she explained to him his current state.

Just like exercising muscles, the soul will also gain "exercise effects" under high-intensity use.

Most spellcasters with innate intellectual deficiencies rely on this method to continuously strengthen their soul strength, thereby improving their intelligence attributes bit by bit.

"It's all my fault for being anxious and getting a little carried away!"

Taking the broth, Carl drank a bowl of it.

The rich soup was a little sticky. Carl looked down and found that one of the raw materials for cooking the soup was the fire snake meat he hunted in the dungeon.

"It's a pity that you can find this thing. I almost forgot where they were."

Struggling to get up, Carl took out his pocket watch to check the time and found that it was already afternoon.

"How long do you plan to finish the remaining demiplanes? In fact, we can slow down a little."

After saying that, Nia also served herself a bowl, and then ate the soup with bread.

The entire demiplane maze is roughly distributed in concentric circles. The closer to the center, the smaller the demiplane number.

Every time he enters the front demiplane, Carl has to go through the previous route again.

So in order to solve the problem once and for all, he originally planned to fight for a long time this time.

But he didn't expect that his soul would be "overworked" after encountering a strong enemy.

"I wanted to finish it before the renovation of your alchemy workshop of the Transmutation School is completed, but according to the current situation, it may take longer."

Sighing, Carl rubbed his brow.

"It doesn't matter. I have almost done the next few experiments by myself. The class is just to follow the teacher's ideas and do them again.

By the way, my mage level has been upgraded to level 3. Next, I want to officially work as a part-time mechanic. Carl, you can rest assured."
