Chapter 40 One Waxes and Wanes, the Other Waxes and Wanes

"What kind of temple did you say you came from?" The new angel spoke in a rather aggressive tone.

Su Mei took over the conversation and said: "If you don't want us to go in, just say so, but if another holy war is triggered for this, do you think Michael will pluck the feathers on your wings one by one?" Come down and make it into a feather duster?"

"Do you want to cause trouble?" The angel said harsh words, but his voice sounded unconfident and panicked.

"If you don't want us to go in, then we'll go back." I gestured to turn around, but turned back halfway and said, "Oh, by the way. Don't forget to tell Michael and prepare for the second holy war quickly, but don't Throw another city to us.”

"Rosana, let them in." A relatively high-status angel shouted to the angel at the door of the temple and turned around and walked in.

This angel could no longer stop us, so he turned around and walked into the temple without saying a word. We know that she is very dissatisfied now, and we don't want to argue with her. Moreover, we really need to see Michael, and we don't want to be angry with a lower-level angel like her.

After entering the temple, we were taken to the reception room by another angel. After waiting in the room for a while, Michael came in.

The first time I saw Michael, I was a little surprised. Just now I thought it was Xiao Chun who walked in. Michael actually looked very similar to Xiao Chun, but there were some differences in appearance and age. Xiaochun looks like a little girl who is seventeen or eighteen years old, while Michael looks like a young woman who is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but they look so similar.

"You three are the envoys of the Temple of Chaos and Order?"

I introduced myself first: "I am Ziri, the president of the Frost Rose Alliance."

Michael's eyes changed three times in an instant, but his expression didn't change much. At first glance, it was the hidden master. "Do we have anything to talk about?" She looked at me and added: "My enemy!"

"Of course." I said with a smile: "You didn't lose anything in the last friction, so the two of us are not enemies. In fact, if you really want to calculate it carefully, we should be partners. You know, that fight You started the battle, and I cooperated with you to complete your plan."

"My plan was to eliminate you dark forces. Now it seems that the plan has failed. I don't know why you say you helped me."

I smiled and said, "Everyone is an insider, so there's no need to say these extravagant words, right?"

Rose said: "The goddess lost her divine power, and some people took the opportunity to usurp the throne. But they failed to kill the goddess, and instead let the goddess run away. The pressure of public opinion within the temple was huge, and in order to divert the target, they started a war with the Dark Temple and us. There will be a war with the Dragon Clan. During the war, someone uses his power to send opponents to the front one by one, and then uses the hands of the enemy to eliminate these people one by one."

"Are you threatening me?" Michael's voice was quite cold. I guarantee that as long as I nodded, she would kill the three of us immediately.

"Don't worry, we have no evidence, and we can't threaten anyone with empty words. And those people are no longer here, so even if we bring it up, it's useless."

"Then what do you mean this time?"

I said, "I came here to discuss business with you."

"Business?"

Rose explained: "Our guild is about to go to war with another force."

"What does this have to do with me? Do you want me to send troops to help you fight? Even if I agree, those elders will not agree."

"Who said we want you to send troops? We want you to withdraw our troops."

"Withdraw troops? I didn't send troops to fight you?" Before I could explain, Michael thought of it himself. "Oh! Could it be that the opponent borrowed the 400,000 yuan for the army?"

I nodded and said: "We don't ask for much. Just move these 400,000 troops away and don't participate in this battle."

"Those tokens are the promises of our temple. How can we take them back after they are lent out?" Seeing us looking at her with disbelieving expressions, Michael finally compromised. "Even if I am willing to withdraw my troops, for what reason? The troops have been sent out, how can I receive them?"

"That's your business." I said very loudly: "Whether you delay the time or directly regret it, or find a way to cause the army to have an unexpected delay, in short, just don't let these 400,000 troops participate in the war."

"Why do I have to do this?" Michael looked at us, and her expression reminded me of two people - profiteers.

Since we are here to negotiate, I am not going to beat around the bush. "I said, this is a transaction. I prefer to discuss business with others. A win-win situation is the key to the transaction."

Michael smiled and motioned for me to continue: "I want to hear about a win-win solution?"

"What you have to do in this deal is to keep the 400,000 troops from participating in the war, and I will pull out the last nail for you."

"I want to hear what you mean by pulling out the last nail?"

"At a convenient time, you can find an opportunity to let the Cloud-walking Angel Nero leave the Temple of Light alone and come outside the city. Finally, he can be far away from the city. If you are sure that he will leave, tell us the time and place, and we will make a Surprise, and you'll never have to worry about the last competitor again. What do you think of this solution? Are you satisfied?"

Michael stretched out a hand: "Give me a token."

Rose handed over a beautiful dagger. "Use this."

Michael quickly took the dagger. "The 400,000 troops will never appear on your battlefield. At the right time, someone will come to you with this dagger, and that person will give you the specific time and place."

"It's refreshing." I stood up: "In that case, I won't bother you."

Michael clapped his hands, and an angel came in from outside. "See off guests."

The angel who came in immediately walked up to us and said, "This way please."

After we walked out of the temple, we all breathed a big sigh of relief. It was unimaginably smooth. Maybe our conditions were too tempting for Michael, and her desire to get rid of this thorn in her side was too strong, so much so that she no longer even had to be wary. But luckily for her, I am a businessman, not a liar, and I will do what I say.

After leaving the temple and returning to Isengard, as a preliminary plan for the war, we need to roughly allocate everyone's tasks. In fact, this time we are not so much passive defense as active attack. Essinger does not need to participate in the war at all. All our people go out to attack those cities with greedy guilds. Anyway, the two sides have been in a state of war since they started fighting with us. We didn't even need to report when we attacked their city, because the two sides were already in a state of war.

Let Hell Eye seize the time to collect the list of all guilds participating in tomorrow's attack and related information, while I ran to the Magic Crystal Power Research Institute to see the progress of the golems.

As soon as he entered the underground laboratory, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside. After seeing me coming in, the researchers on the periphery quickly backed away, leaving only the mummy warlock and the German girl doing the research still arguing.

"Quiet, everyone." I yelled to silence them all. Go between the two people and look at them both. "Why are you arguing again?"

"It's him..." Two people said at the same time, but I didn't hear anything except the first two words.

"Okay, please be quiet. Son of the Night, come and speak."

The child of the night, who was squatting next to him and looked helpless, stood up immediately when he heard me calling him: "That's it." The child of the night pointed at the almost assembled golems on the operating table in front of him. "Pay attention here. This red part."

I stretched my head and looked down, "What's wrong with this thing?"

"The lady here thinks this thing is for controlling the body's balance, and it must be connected to the main line of the head. But Mr. Mummy here thinks it is the coordination control system of the arm, and says it cannot be connected to the main line of the head. otherwise the components will be burned."

"Is that all?" I asked them both.

The two men nodded together.

"Really, this little thing is noisy. Apart from this, have everything else been completed?"

The two nodded together again.

"That's easy. Guards, bring the magic doll over." After the guard brought the magic doll over, I asked the German mm to open the magic doll, and then connect the thing inside according to her opinion. Here is this Then connect it in the way of the mummy warlock. After everything is done, put both golems underground and have them turn on the activation device together.

As soon as the system was connected, the two golems moved at the same time and then stopped. In any case, this is already a big progress, at least the devil started to move for the first time. The two skeleton monsters stood motionless. I waited for a while and saw that neither of them responded before asking, "Why is there no movement?"

"You haven't given an order yet! Without an order, the golems will execute the last order, but in order to remove the damn startup password, their memory crystals have been replaced, so now they have no instructions to execute, so they have to Standing in a daze."

I nodded and walked over to the two golems. "Can you hear me?"

"Yes, Master." The voices of the two puppets were exactly the same. Moreover, their mouths didn't move at all when they spoke. The skull's mouth was just a decoration.

I pointed to the wall in front of me: "Walk there and back at normal speed."

The two demons took the first step in unison. We were all so excited that we finally moved! But after only taking two steps, one of the golems suddenly tilted to one side and crashed over a table, lying on the ground. Another golem walked over without any reaction, then turned around and walked back, then stood back to where it was and waited for the next instruction. The wrestling doll got up from the ground, but took two steps and fell down again. Then it kept falling down and getting up, unable to walk at all.

I turned around and said, "Okay, obviously that thing is responsible for controlling the balance. Hurry up and finish it like this."

It took an hour to complete all the core golems in the laboratory. Some of these golems are original goods brought back from Switzerland, some are assembled from parts found in the temple in Switzerland, and some are imitations made by ourselves.

I stood in front of the golems, and the golem stood in fully expanded mode. This fully expanded mode is a four-legged skull form. Each golem looks like a mechanical skeleton, but unlike ordinary skeletons, they have four legs and four hands, and this mechanical skeleton has a large number of drawbar transmission mechanisms. When they move, these drawbars will The back and forth motion drives joint movement. There are also many magical machines in the skeleton's chest. As long as these machines are running, the puppet will move.

I called out a golem, and then stretched out a hand: "Pay attention to my hands, follow me, and do whatever I do."

"Understood Master."

I started to move my fingers, first one by one, then more and more, and the speed continued to increase. The demon followed me and moved its fingers one by one, and it was as flexible as my hands.

After confirming that the arms were functioning normally, I asked my research assistants to install two pieces of armor from the front and back of the golem to cover the fragile mechanical parts in their chests. Although these components are not immediately paralyzed as soon as they are damaged, they are absolutely necessary to protect, especially the red-striped magic crystal at the core, which is absolutely critical. The magic crystals used as control components are all in the skull golem's head. These things are also very important, so its head is made quite strong.

After installing the breastplate I gave the order to switch to Lite mode. In this mode, the golem will retract its arms and legs and stand like a normal skeleton. In fact, only two of the four legs of these golems are used normally, and the other two are spares.

After the transformation was successful, I let them change the use of their hands and feet back and forth, mainly to see if there would be any mechanical failure during the transformation. After confirming that it was reliable, the order was issued again to switch to the core mode, and these golems immediately transformed again.

The spine structure of the skull golem's neck suddenly began to bend forward, and then its head looked down at the ground. Then the mechanical skeleton in the cervical vertebrae began to shrink, and the skull's head tightened on the chest, with no space visible at all, as if the face was placed in the chest.

The height of these skeleton golems is about 190 centimeters. Even if half of the head is retracted into the chest, it is still 180 centimeters. But immediately they began to change again, starting with the arms. They fold all four hands close to the sides of the body, and then the legs begin to fold from the knee joints, and then the entire body flips up and sticks to the sides of the body like the arms. In this way, the skeleton golem turns itself into a very small ball, and a larger suitcase can be put down.

After reaching the core mode, we need help to assemble the external parts. The golem's arms and legs are retracted and cannot move at all. Two assistants pushed over a set of lower limb parts, which included two feet, two legs and hip parts. Although these things look rough, they are much stronger and stronger than the skeleton state.

After placing the two feet, the two assistants connected the two legs and fixed them, and then connected the hips and the two legs together. Only then did I realize that these parts were already 150 centimeters high. What if I could put them on top?

After the lower limbs were connected, the assistants connected a bowl-shaped part to the hip, and then installed movable joints. Then someone brought half of the abdominal part. This abdominal part is hollow in the middle and only has an outer ring. Connect this part to the movable joint below, and then reveal a hollow in the middle. The other two assistants picked up the skeleton golem in core mode and 'inserted' it into the hole. This hole was good enough to trap the skeleton golem.

After the core was installed, someone brought the chest parts of the upper body and put them on. The chest parts are hollow like the abdominal parts. After being installed, the core was stuck and the position of the upper and lower bodies was fixed.

Next is the shoulders. This part is said to be the most complicated because there are too many joints. These shoulders are known as the most troublesome part of the golem. Two strong robotic arms were lifted over, one on the left and one on the right, connected to both sides of the shoulders, and then fixed.

The hands of the golem are not installed for the time being. The mechanical arm only reaches the wrist position. Whether to install a flexible hand, a hammer or a tomahawk or a sword directly on the front needs to be replaced at any time according to the actual combat situation. Anyway, it is a movable connection. , it takes less than 1 minute to change.

After the arm is healed, it's time to move on to the head. In fact, the skull golem's head is the control part. The one installed now is just an observation device equipped with opal and night pupil. This is why the golem still fights without its head, because this head is not real at all. Control parts.

This nearly human-like head has a smooth head. The devil has no hair, not even ears or nose. It looks a little awkward, but this does not affect its combat effectiveness.

After being fully installed, this guy is already 230 centimeters tall. His thick limbs look very powerful, and in fact they are indeed very powerful. Now this guy looks like the kind of human muscle display with the skin removed from the medical books. It looks so explosive no matter how you look at it, and there are no extra parts at all, and the surface is quite smooth. The metallic luster makes these guys look like hills, obviously giving people a very solid sense of trust.

After finishing these things, I ordered the puppet: "Move your limbs."

"Understood Master."

The demon moved obediently, and then performed various actions according to my orders. Now the joint mobility and agility of this golem are obviously lower than that of the skeleton form, but the strength has definitely increased a lot.

I looked at the Mummy Warlock: "You're just going to let it go into battle like this?"

Before the warlock could speak, the German sister said first: "This is just the main body of the golem. Since they are humanoid, they can wear armor." After saying that, she immediately asked her assistant to get the armor.

The armor was brought over on a cart. It looked like the thing was not light, and the cart creaked under the weight. When the armor was placed in front of him, he was shocked. This set of armor is entirely made of four centimeters thick graphite steel, and its hardness can be imagined. With the defensive power of this thing, any player will like it, but even if this thing is given to others, no one would dare to wear it. Because wearing this armor that weighs one and a half tons, there is no one to fight at all. Wearing it, let alone fighting, makes it difficult to stand up. Even if you stand up, you can't use weapons because you can't lift your hands at all!

Although this armor is too heavy, its defense is very high, and the characteristic of golems is their strength. People in this armor cannot wear them, but they can run around wearing this thing easily. After putting on the armor, I found a robot to put it on them, and a row of black giant warriors appeared.

The black armor is inlaid with a large number of gems, which can improve the armor's defense and help the magic puppet improve its magic defense. At the same time, the exaggerated designs of these gems and armor make these golems look very majestic.

"Yes! Not bad, very good, very good!" I turned around and said to the researchers: "Thank you for your hard work. I am very satisfied with these puppets. Take 10 of them to Steel City immediately and tell them to make them quickly. The more, the better." "

The German girl said: "With our production capacity in Steel City, we can make these things very quickly. The main problem is the number of red-striped magic crystals. Our current red-striped magic crystals can at most move 0 demons." Get up. No matter how much you build, it's all in vain, you can't move it at all."

"Can't you use the White Magic Crystal?"

"Such a large volume of white magic crystal can drive the puppet to move for at most a few minutes. Don't you think it's too fast?"

"What if we use large crystal stones?"

"The problem is that the demon doll is only so big, and there are still a bunch of parts in its belly. How do you fit a large piece of magic crystal into it?"

"No matter how many there are, let them rush to work on 0 units first. It's better than nothing, right? By the way, what level of combat effectiveness can this thing reach?"
