Chapter 628 Runes and Puppet

This is the first time I've ever seen Achilles smile.

This smile and the tone of his conversation seemed to be telling me about an idol he admired and a hero he respected.

Once people have a common topic, they will talk endlessly.

This is true of me, and so is Achilles.

He talked to me a lot and for a long time. When the wine was cold, I asked the boss to heat it up again. When the beef was cold, I asked the boss to cook it again.

We chatted from dusk until late at night, the wine was heated seven or eight times, and the meat was cooked four or five times.

Finally, Achilles fell silent, but his story was not finished.

We were silent for a while, and I asked him, "Why don't you talk anymore?"

Achilles drank all the wine in the cup and said: "I have said enough words today. This is the most I have said since I woke up."

"Isn't this good?" I also took a sip of wine and said, "Talk can relieve the knot in my heart. Some problems may be solved by talking. Besides, the story you told is very interesting. I I happen to be the type of person who loves to listen to stories. You express my mood and at the same time satisfy my desire to listen to stories, killing two birds with one stone."

"I think you focus more on the latter," Achilles said calmly.

"Hehe" I smiled: "You are right, I am better at simply listening to stories than being a listener of your life experiences."

After chatting for a while, it was useless. It was getting very late, the wine was gone, and there was not much beef left. I was tired, and Achilles looked very tired, so we said to each other. Say goodbye, get up and leave.

Achilles headed towards the city lord's palace, while I found an ordinary small hotel to rest at the intersection of the civilian area and the slum area.

Early the next morning, I checked out of the room and left.

I rushed to the adventurer base and started asking Master Hall to draw the ghost drawing talisman on my arm.

After painting for almost a whole day, without even eating lunch, he finally finished. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to me with gratitude: "Now, I have spiritual sustenance again."

"Eh?" I asked in confusion: "What does spiritual sustenance mean? Don't you have anything you can usually do?"

Master Hall sighed and said: "Yes, but it's just for reviewing some official documents from Airui City. Now the city lord of Airui City has begun to evade our rights. Maybe it won't be long before we become real decorations." .”

"Then he will kill you?" I asked a little worried.

"I don't know." Master Hall shook his head, sighed, and said, "I don't think so. At most, they will use an airship to send us back."

"That's good," I said, "if you are killed, Dewey and the Goblin King will be very sad."

"Oh?" Master Hall became interested and said, "Have you met Dewey and David?"

"I've met them," I said, "They are all very good. They seem to be currently working on developing some sort of puppet. It's a pretty powerful thing, but its movements are a bit stiff."

"Haha, it's still a puppet." Master Hall said with a smile: "I have told them a long time ago that things like puppets have limitations. They just refuse to listen and are still developing stubbornly. It's really like them. style of!"

As he spoke, Master Hall suddenly sighed and said: "The two places are separated, and so many years have passed. I really miss these two old guys!"

"Don't you often see Dewey?" I asked.

"Look at the current state of Airy City, is there still a chance to meet in a short time?" He said worriedly: "And, I'm very worried about whether Carter Horton will build Airy City into a city in order to centralize power. A dead city like York and Seoul.”

"Is York City a dead city?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Well," Master Hall said: "If you look at the surface, York Han City is not a dead city. It is still doing business and operating, and the residents in the city are still living. It looks like it is thriving, but in fact, York City is highly centralized and closed-off. It never communicates with other towns. The facilities in the city are very old. Even the weapons and armor are from hundreds of years ago. They have been far away from other towns on this gentle continent. .”

"Oh~ the dead city you are talking about refers to their technological power." I spread my hands and said, "However, isn't the current Zephyr Continent still based on personal strength as the criterion?"

Master Hall smiled: "No, it won't happen anymore. It won't be long before a new force will be added to it, and together with personal strength, it will become a new standard of measurement."

"Are you talking about puppets?" I asked: "Do you think puppets will appear on the historical stage where strength is measured?"

"Isn't it possible?" Master Hall asked.

I curled my lips and said, "I don't know whether it will happen or not, but I have had a fight with the latest type of puppet before, and I tore it into pieces."

"That's because it's not perfect enough yet," Master Hall said.

"So do you have any plans to perfect the puppet?" I asked.

Master Hall smiled and said: "Do you know why we are confident to help you decipher the secret of the runes on your arm?"

I was startled: "Is it related to puppets?"

"Yes, there is, but it doesn't matter much." Master Hall shook his head and said, "It's because of the taboo documents left by our goblin ancestors. There are annotations on some of the runes on your arms. Although not all of them, they can be analyzed. Quite a bit of content.”

"But what does this have to do with puppets?"

"Of course it is related," Master Hall said: "The runes on these forbidden documents are the runes used by our ancestors to make puppets!"

"Eh? Is this the case?"

Looking down at my left arm, I was a little confused and said, "So, is my left arm also the product of a puppet?"

As I said that, I subconsciously pinched my left arm and then my right arm. No, both arms felt the same.

"I'm talking about the runes on the taboo documents left by our ancestors. What does it have to do with your arm? Moreover, I can say with certainty that your arm is a normal arm, not a puppet." Master Hall Said: "So, don't worry about those messy things."

"Oh, I feel relieved when you say that." I nodded and said, "Speaking of which, I was quite looking forward to it. Will a cannon barrel or something suddenly appear on the arm, and then it can fire laser cannons or something like that?" Weapons of high lethality, alas, it turned out to be in vain.”

"What did you say?" Master Hall didn't hear my complaint clearly.

"Nothing." I changed the subject and said, "I said, Master Hall, aren't the puppets you make now as powerful as those made by your ancestors?"
