Invincible Chapter 581
In Karazhan, the arcane guards, including the curator, have a deconstructed shape, which is very similar to the arcane puppets used by Quel'Thalas.
It's hard to say who copied who. After all, the origin of magic technology in the world of Azeroth is the Titans. Sargeras is one of the gods. When the technology is at the low end, it is often more versatile. The Titans Basically, they are multi-functional, and Sargeras's magic attainments are not low.
But to Kane, no matter whether it is made by elves or these puppets here, they are not eye-catching, whether it is style or structure.
He prefers the T series of Future Warriors, which are precise, mass-produced, not bad in function, full of order and industrial beauty.
However, the insect swarm system he established in this world is supernatural, the industrial population is insufficient, and it is not easy to train qualified industrial personnel, so it depends on magic.
As a result, robots like the T850 can only be manufactured in laboratories at present, and the cost of mass production is too high, and the price/performance ratio is unacceptable to him.
In this context, if he had to use puppets, he would prefer flesh and blood puppets transformed from soulless corpses, such as those copper puppets from ogres. If there is still a need for quantity, he thinks that the bone and wood golems used by witches in the abyss world are not bad.
Speaking of this, it seems that the Drusts headed by Gorak Tul are experts in manipulating bones and wood. The willow golems they manufacture are complete in model, and there are hounds, which are cool and practical...
"Could it be that there is really a wonderful connection between the two worlds?"
Thinking of this, Kane couldn't help feeling a little spark in his heart. He thought that maybe after the natural disaster invasion was settled, it would be a good choice to go to Drustvar in Kul Tiras to dig the graves of the dark druids.
At this time, the curator had already fought against Veragosa and the others.
Medivh volunteered to try to control the puppet.
There are not many things in Karazhan that can bring him warm memories, and the curator is one of them. He didn't want the curator to be smashed to pieces.
So Veragosa and the others exerted their strength, using the power of magic, to slow down the curator, and then Medivh tried to control it.
Unfortunately it didn't turn out well.
The intelligent program of this giant puppet was already extremely chaotic, the generator said something like "the exhibition hall is only open to guests." At the same time, it struggled desperately, and remained indifferent to Medivh's attempt to control it.
Kane narrowed his eyes,
Then he shot suddenly, and the dazzling beam shot out from his left hand, with an irresistible posture, pierced the huge crystal on the curator's waist forcefully.
The curator's chest and crotch are connected by this suspended crystal. Although it is not an energy core, it is also an important energy hub.
Originally it was the kind of seemingly thin, but actually protected by an invisible energy force field, with extremely strong defensive power, but when encountering the "God's Left Hand" or "Unreasonable Little Finger", this kind of protection is useless.
As soon as this beautiful pink-purple energy crystal shattered, the curator's energy cycle immediately collapsed, and he couldn't make trouble anymore, a large amount of energy gushed out from his chest, and soon he uttered: "The curator can't... ...continue to operate".
The dragons rushed to deal with the aftermath, and Kane comforted Medivh: "Compared to changing an arcane crystal, I think how to build a reliable artificial intelligence is more complicated."
Medivh wasn't ashamed either, and said frankly, "I'm not good at this."
Kane said: "I have the Construct Revitalization Technique here, which is bundled with master recognition, wisdom optimization magic and tamper-proof technology, and can be given to you. However, this set of techniques requires auxiliary materials, and the entire completion is a bit expensive. If you just want a qualified guard, it’s not worth it.”
Naturally, Medivh didn't go for the guards, but for his feelings. So he owed this favor again.
Kane is not afraid of losing money, Medivh is not yet there, and Aegwynn is still there.
Aegwynn is quite an old sister with a personality. She doesn't like oil and salt, but she is more partial to her son. When she visits the tomb of Sargeras in the future, she will have to deal with it. Medivh is a good breakthrough.
Ronin, Kael'thas and the others were naturally envious. Although Kane said it simply, each item was a high-value selling point in their eyes. They can fully imagine how powerful and practical a puppet built in that way is.
It's a pity that they can't exchange any high-value technology or things with Kane. The equipment on their bodies and the weapons in their hands are basically given to them, and they are embarrassed to ask for more.
However, a concept has been deeply rooted in this, that is, Prince Galin Trollbane has a lot of good things, and he is also very generous, and he can try to buy them if he has the opportunity.
After the curator, there is still a ticket for arcane aberrations and siphons in the exhibition hall to clean up, which gave Kane and others time to visit.
Kane is not particularly interested in those sculptures with a heavy history, but likes exquisite small objects. He always unconsciously compares them with those exquisite national treasures and cultural relics in his hometown, so as to have fun, and at the same time It is also a memory of the homeland.
The secondary incarnation doesn't have much memory about the original world, which makes Kane lose even this fun at the moment, so it has become an ordinary arty, through appreciation, to deepen the understanding of the culture of various intelligent races in this world.
In this regard, Medivh is not the same as him. He was educated in the orthodox aristocratic style when he was young. He is not like him. He has gone astray since he was a child. With a strong utilitarian taste, he is not the same as an intellectual polymath.
After wandering around in the exhibition hall for nearly an hour, Long Ren came to report that the cleaning work here was completely completed.
"I want to tell everyone a piece of good news. The cost of our expedition has been recovered from various incomes. After the expedition is over, everyone will have a beautiful little gift."
Regarding Kane's announcement, Jaina couldn't laugh or cry, and Kael'thas said in his heart: "This prince is good everywhere, but he is a bit vulgar. How can he be so philistine?"
What Kael'thas didn't know was that thinking about it now was like slapping himself in the face, because the exquisite little gift Kane prepared for everyone is for anyone who is willing to do something big and make himself famous in the history books. Can't refuse.
Power, and it is a power that can be obtained without paying too expensive a price.
That's right, that's what a gift is, and no one can have too much of this kind of gift.
At the end of the exhibition hall is the Guardian's library.
To everyone, the library is neither new nor rare, but with the prefix 'Guardian', it immediately becomes so high that even someone with a rich family like Kael'thas would look up to it.
After Medivh was assassinated, Khadgar often went to Dalaran from here to read books. Kael'thas still remembers the complicated emotions he was envious of and had to pretend to be calm in order to be decent.
But today, the Guardian Library looks different. Passing through the porch with pillars, the first thing everyone sees is a bonfire made of books.
Kael'thas was furious at the time, and even his voice became shrill and sharp: "Who is this? Who did such a bastard thing?"
Others were also outraged.
After all, all the mages who came here this time, knowledge is power, and for them, the understanding is particularly profound, and one of the most unseen things is to destroy knowledge.
Bharati wanted to jump over to put out the fire, which meant, how much could be saved.
But Kane stopped her with his hand, and said, "This operation of burning books is too strange. When we got here, we burned half of them. I'm afraid it's a trap."
Hearing what Kane said, Balati immediately became sober.
At that time, I was a little embarrassed, after all, the dragon people have been walking in front of them to clear the way.
The dragon people could see the problem and didn't take action easily, but she rushed forward in a hurry, which seemed a little brainless and lacking in wisdom.
Kane not only woke up Bharati, but everyone else realized that there was probably something wrong here.
Kane turned his head and said to Veragosa: "You come."
Veragosa nodded, raised her hands high, murmured something, and then suddenly pressed her hands down. Following her movement, a large black-purple energy poured down from the nothingness of the air like a cloud of silt. Immediately afterwards, the pile of burning books was completely enveloped by this black and purple energy.
After that, this pile of energy seemed to be alive, and was pulled away by Veragosa.
Looking at the bottom, where there used to be a pile of books, there is a pile of squirming black greasy substances, like countless worms cruising back and forth in the asphalt. Under the reflection of the light, it is watery and greasy, very core.
The well-informed Medivh said: "It's magic residue!"
Jaina and Bharati were both fearful and curious. They had only seen a small amount of magic residue in Dalaran's teaching class before, and their activity was far inferior to what it is now.
Magic residue is something that mages hate and fear. It can affect the magic power of mages, destroying ten or even decades of practice (energyization), and even become a disordered body, and can no longer use magic. .
From Kane's point of view, the so-called magic power residue is actually the part of the original magic power that cannot be absorbed and used by creatures.
He always likes to compare raw magic power to crude oil, and combed and purified magic power to various grades of gasoline and diesel. Then it is not too much to say that the magic residue is asphalt.
Obviously, this is a trap aimed at the spellcasters. When the spellcasters are infected with this kind of thing, it is like ink dripping on straw paper, and it will immediately seep and faint, and there is no cure.
Of course, thinking about kraft paper with an oil film like Kane, as long as the oil film side is exposed, it can be used as a raincoat without any problem, and I am not very afraid of this kind of penetration.
And the method of Villagosa just now can be regarded as an alternative method of fighting poison with poison, the power of the void also has the ability to devour magic power. Eating the magic power that maintains the illusion, the structure of the illusion spell collapses, revealing the true essence.
Luo Ning asked Kane: "Your Highness, is it the Void Spirit you said did this?"
Luo Ning has a good memory, and is good at memorizing key points and connecting them with reality. Kane mentioned it when he just introduced it briefly, and he remembered it now. Sure enough, being able to run to the battle waves of the ancient times is always something extraordinary, and it is not purely a coincidence.
"Perhaps. From our point of view, Void Spirit can be roughly divided into two factions, which can be simply called the Hawk faction and the Dove faction. The Dove faction can make progress, as long as it has as much strength as it, You can interact with them, and even receive some entrusted missions. The hawks basically have the same virtue as the Burning Legion, specifically the cunning and insidious system similar to Nathrezim, and the willingness to engage in assassination and secret fights, rather than swaying Fighting with chariots and horses."
Jaina asked, "What do ethereals look like? Are they similar to us?"
"Humanoid form, but they are energy bodies similar to ghosts. In order to facilitate their activities in the material world, they often use special instruments, so from the outside, they seem to be loosely wrapped in bandages, but they are easy to identify. "
When Kane and the others were talking, the dragon people had already begun to clean up the Guardian Library, and the fish-level monsters here were more dangerous, or they tended to be more disgusting.
For example, the Ichthyosaur Mana Hunter, which looks like a siphon, is a distorted monster that can be called the nemesis of spellcasters. It can devour energy in the first place, thereby destroying the structure of spells and disintegrating spells. Many mages talk about the magic immunity attribute of discoloration.
Of course, in Kane's view, there is no such thing as magic immunity, and if the energy exceeds the limit, it will still be exhausted.
It's just that it's not worthwhile to use the method of strangling to death to deal with a large number of mana predators like a school of fish, so I say that this thing is more disgusting.
Then there's the Chaos Perceiver on top of the Arcane Aberration.
If the arcane aberration is to eat too much arcane energy and become fat, the chaos perceiver is to eat too much chaos and become fat.
This kind of fat man radiates chaotic power all the time, like a moving nuclear radiation source. This kind of chaotic power also has the effect of interfering with spells, causing it to collapse and disintegrate. In addition, there are corrosive effects similar to nuclear radiation and contamination, and the caster cannot be touched.
Kane half-jokingly said: "So the primitive staffs often look like spears, and the early mages also put some energy into martial arts and combat skills. In addition to strengthening the body, there are also practical needs." ()
