Artificer Adventure Guide

With Carl's mecha leading the way, everyone quickly arrived outside the base.

At this time, V was controlling six engineering constructs to reinforce the base shell.

The previous earth slope had disappeared, replaced by a three-cement octagonal star bastion made of soil, lime, sand and cooked glutinous rice porridge mixed and compacted in a certain proportion.

On the wall, there was a force field crossbow that Carl had left in the base before. Any non-friendly character approaching would be covered by firepower from several directions.

When Hope and the others saw that their originally normal base had become like this, their first reaction was actually "Did I take the wrong road?" However, seeing Carl enter from the entrance without hesitation, they also pretended not to care and followed him in.

"Welcome back, Master. During the time you and other members were away, the base suffered a devastating blow. I activated the ultimate response plan you left behind."

In the hall of the bastion, Carl took off the mecha's uniform, and V slowly floated in front of him and reported the situation to him.

This step is unnecessary for Carl, because when Carl just arrived at the entrance of the passage, the spiritual connection between the two had transmitted V's experience during this period to Carl.

The reason why I have to say it again is actually for Bane and the others to hear.

"It's done very well! I'll upgrade your body in two days! And give you a group of Moon Spirit Marrow Construct Maids!"

As a mechanic who has accepted his own B physique, Carl not only learned the relevant knowledge of mechanics when he was studying in the academy.

There are a lot of auxiliary knowledge about mechanics, such as firepower coverage, the bonus of bastions to thermal weapons, and construction. He also wrote down all the knowledge through the Dream World plug-in.

In order to prevent emergencies, Carl also specially formulated different response plans.

And V's so-called ultimate response plan is actually to install all the weapons that can be installed after the bastion is built.

This detailed response strategy is full of Carl's blood and tears.

"So, our base was attacked by mutant zombies? I think our base is quite hidden."

Recalling the appearance of the base that looked like a dirt slope, Hope couldn't figure out why these zombies noticed it.

But "hidden" was actually just what Hope thought.

Carl and his team didn't hide it when they went in and out, so how could the other large adventure groups in the underground ruins not know?

And the replica of Kowloon Walled City actually wanted to sneak in when Carl and his team went out to explore, but their mediocre stealth skills were directly discovered by V equipped with heat sensors.

The mutant zombies that attacked the base might have been transformed from the people in Kowloon Walled City.

"Don't worry about it, V, arrange some rooms for these people, there may be a tough battle next."

Carl didn't know who the highest-level professional was in Storm Bay, but this matter has not been resolved until now, which means that the enemy's methods are better than those of the Storm Bay officials.

More importantly, the druids of the Son of Winter have legendary warriors behind them, and it is hard to say how many ordinary pirates in the Storm Council can beat them.

The legendary pirates who once galloped across the sea have long been brought into the camp of the Dragon Mark Family by the Storm Dragon Mark Family through marriage.

The current Storm Council is just formed by some of the remaining big pirates.

But long-term enjoyment has consumed their original ambitions. In terms of blood, they may not be as brave as the group of pirates that Carl met when he just returned to the main plane.

It is better to rely on yourself than to expect them to show courage.

"That, senior, we don't have much money on us now, and the travel expenses..."

With a blushing face, the priest girl whispered to Carl about the issue of remuneration in a somewhat embarrassed voice.

"What you said is right. My girlfriend took the initiative to invite you to rest. How can I ask for your money? Stay here first and return to the town after you have rested."

Waving his hand, Carl smiled and refused the priest girl's money.

"Then we will prepare lunch for you later. We know a lot about cooking."

Perhaps because of her family education, the priest girl was eager to repay others for their free help.

Seeing her like this, Carl had to nod and agree.

Afterwards, V led the youth adventure team to allocate rooms.

Because the space inside the base has been expanded, V's newly built guest rooms have also been expanded and increased a lot.

There are 16 members in the youth adventure team, eight boys and eight girls, and one room for each person is more than enough.

While everyone was preparing meals, Carl took the elevator to the second floor of the base.

Similar to the upper floor, the base on the lower floor has also been remodeled.

The space is larger and more machines can be placed.

At this time, the production line is constantly producing magic compressors that can compress air to produce solid nitrogen.

This is not prepared for Carl's mecha, but a facility to strengthen the defense of the base.

Although the zombies created by the green rain can evolve and seem to retain memories of their time as living beings, they have no special resistance to damage such as acid, fire, ice, lightning, thunder, and light.

Although solid nitrogen is not a magical damage, the freezing caused by ultra-low temperature also has a strong inhibitory effect on zombies.

If it is paired with force field crossbows and weapons that can emit hypersonic waves, it will be a massacre.

Summoning the mecha back to the second floor of the base, Carl kept his promise and began to replace V's body to make it stronger.

At the same time, he also released all the moon spirit fluid stored in the base and transformed its construct.

About two hours later, Hope informed Carl that dinner was ready.

Carl reluctantly put down the tools in his hands and returned to the upper area to eat.

The priest girl did not lie. There are indeed some of them with good cooking skills.

"Hmm~, this dragon salmon is delicious! It tastes almost the same as the chef in our cafeteria."

Dragon salmon is a specialty of Andair. The cafeteria of Akanix, especially the cafeteria of the Tower of Wonders, has this dish all year round.

Carl's mother sometimes makes it, but her cooking skills for this dish are indeed not as good as the chef in the cafeteria.

"Eh? I, this is the recipe of Andair's royal court dish!"

Hearing Carl's praise, the girl who made the dragon salmon seemed to be insulted, her eyes widened, as if Carl's words were very unscrupulous.

The status of the dragon salmon dish in the Andair folks is like the spicy pepper and dried tofu in the Northeast restaurant, but even the nobles will use this dish as an appetizer.

So the upper and lower limits of this dish can measure the level of an Andair chef.

"Oh! No wonder the canteen chef speaks so arrogantly, it turns out that he used to work in the Andair Royal Palace! Hey! I said that there must be something between our tower master and Queen Andair! The royal chef must be someone who is very trusted to be competent."

Hearing that the recipe turned out to be from the court, Carl immediately nodded in understanding.

Afterwards, he gossiped with Hope beside him about the story that the owner of the strange machine tower and Queen Andair had to tell.

These gossips were actually more outrageous among the nobles of Aundair, but the queen and March never came out to explain, and they always interacted intimately by coincidence whenever the heat died down.

Even if someone told Carl now that they even had a child, Carl would definitely believe it.

Because he had been to March's tower master's room.

On the table of the tower master's desk, there was a photo of a girl who looked similar to Queen Aundair, but more youthful and beautiful.

Combined with the fact that the queen's husband had died thirty years ago and the queen had no children, Carl had reason to believe that the rumors outside were true.

"Wait, what do you mean by this... are you a student of Akanix?"

Hearing the title of tower master, the girl who made the dragon salmon was stunned.

Although there are some mage towers on Khorvaire, the only one related to Queen Aundair is the tower master of Akanix's Wonder Tower.

As soon as this was said, the originally quiet dining table suddenly became noisy.

Even the priest girl couldn't help but listen to the film.

"Haha, didn't I say it before? I'm Carl Iris, a sixth-year student of the Arcanix Tower of Wonders."

He introduced himself to everyone in a more formal way, and then Carl got to know the origins of these people as he wished.

"Hello, senior, we are sophomores of the Affiliated College of the Kolanburg Library, and I'm Joanna Joestar."

'J-JOJO? '

Just as Carl looked at Joanna in surprise because of the name, the remaining boys also introduced their names.

This was very different from Carl's initial guess, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be more normal.

The reputation of Mograve University is a bit bad because of smuggling cultural relics and other reasons.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but after learning that Carl is a student of Arcanix, the eyes of the boys and girls looked at him more eagerly.

Soon, everyone finished their meal and returned to their respective rooms to rest.

And Carl continued to create the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid Construct on the second floor of the base.

It is a delicate job to make the Moon Spirit Marrow, as a symbiont, change according to the commands instilled into it by psychic energy, but fortunately, it can be corrected after making mistakes.

Around dusk, Carl finally made the first Moon Spirit Marrow Construct Maid.

The appearance of the construct was based on the twin dancers in Carl's previous life game "Atomic Heart".

Even the attack mode was set by Carl in a similar way.

With the first finished product, the rest of the work was much simpler.

When the lights were turned off and the base was about to go to bed, Carl had already used psychic energy to replicate 24 identical Moon Spirit Constructs.

After adding the function of number recognition to its spirit, Carl activated the construct and went back to his room to sleep.
