Chapter 371 Bee Swarm Puppet, Breaking Through the Load of Imagination

On the booth, the old man was holding a cane, and with the support of the working puppet, he faced the puppet masters on the high platform.

"Ahem, my Excellency, Ned Zelik, there must be some people in the audience who know me, this old man."

After the old man finished speaking, warm applause came from the high platform.

"Mr. Ned, I am your idol... Bah, no, you are my idol!"

A puppet master dressed as a student blushed and shouted excitedly, which immediately aroused laughter from the puppet masters around him.

The old man chuckled and said: "Thank you for this young gentleman's love for me. I am honored to be recognized by the Magic Doll Royal Family and serve as the host of this exhibition. Let me introduce it to you first."

"Sitting in front of me are the ten golem masters who are serving as judges this time. They are Harley Sutton, the dean of the Royal Golem Academy, Marlene Holler, the instructor of the Third Golem Academy, and Yue, the manager of the Golem Alchemy Workshop. Nas Shaq, the dwarf master of the Dark Kingdom, Eugene Hretz..."

"The ten masters come from all over southern Xinjiang. They have different races, different countries, and their expertise in the field of magic dolls is also different. But they are gathered here now for the future of magic doll technology."

"The judges will evaluate the future development direction of the puppet based on the latest research on the puppet technology in recent years, and plan the development for the next year."

“Development is always full of opportunities, and I think you don’t want to miss them.”

After the old man finished speaking, the airship was filled with excitement, and the citizens cheered loudly in anticipation.

"Okay, okay..."

Ned stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"I guess everyone can't wait, so I won't waste any more nonsense. Let me start now."

On the high platform, Trina looked sideways at Mattie.

"Mattie, let them set off the fireworks."

The girl nodded, closed her eyes, and began to mentally contact the golems scattered throughout the city.

When the lively atmosphere reached its peak, fireworks and salutes suddenly exploded into the sky.

"boom!!!"

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Flashing smoke filled the sky over the entire city, and salutes of golden flowers fell on the streets. Amidst the excitement, the first exhibit was lifted onto the stage with the help of the golem.

Several middle-aged puppet masters followed behind, with nervous expressions on their faces.

Although they were excited to be the first team to exhibit their works, they were more nervous and restrained at the booth, which was open to the citizens of the city and many puppet masters.

"Hello everyone, we are the research and development team from the Imperial Demon Puppet Academy. Our main focus is on war puppets..."

The leading man stuttered and couldn't speak clearly, but no one laughed at the scene.

Because they all know that the future of the Magic Puppet Kingdom, and even the future of southern Xinjiang and the entire continent will be in the hands of these young puppet masters.

Perhaps in the future, they will take over the teacher's responsibility and become a generation of puppet masters, and then they will be more calm than they are now.

Just when the scene was about to fall into a quiet atmosphere, a shout suddenly rang out from the high platform.

"come on!"

The sudden shout couldn't help but make all the puppet masters present raise their eyebrows. When they saw that the voice was coming from a little girl, they all smiled knowingly and applauded the booth.

On the high platform, Chu Ming saw the same thing and looked over. When he saw that it was Luticia who made the sound, he smiled helplessly.

Trina looked at Luticia and chuckled: "Is this the memory shadow that has been following you?"

Chu Ming nodded, "Actually, I'm not sure what they are even now. Ana and Luticia were so vivid that I once forgot that they were phantoms."

"A figure from the Kingdom of God tens of thousands of years ago..."

Trina raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "It's indeed interesting."

After looking at the girl for a while, she returned her gaze to the booth.

After Luticia's interruption, the puppet master's nervousness on the stage obviously eased a lot. When introducing the puppets, he became very talkative, his eyebrows raised, and he became confident.

"If I remember correctly, the golem team you funded should be number 34."

Lindsey said softly: "The little guy named Mia is so lucky."

Chu Ming chuckled and said: "The demon puppet they developed is quite interesting. Senior sister, you can look forward to it."

Trina and Lindsey smiled lightly. When they came into contact with the memory network, they thought of its true use. It was just how Mia and the others would implement it that was what they were most curious about.

"Then I'll look forward to it."

…

Time passed slowly, the first one, the second one, the third one...the demon team appeared one after another.

Apart from the lively noise, there was nothing special about the scene.

Knights in the city are heavily guarded, riding flying golems to patrol the entire city according to pre-planned routes.

The Griffin Knight and the Iron Eagle Knight were patrolling at high altitudes, and there were countless legends hidden in the dark. There were legendary golems that followed the puppeteers from all over the world, and there were also many legends cultivated by the royal family...even those far away. The Fengyang Legion of the Violet Principality also intervened.

With such a dragnet set up, it is difficult to imagine how Victor will take over the entire scene and achieve his goals.

"Have Victor and the others given up?"

Chu Ming frowned slightly and looked up at the mechanical pendulum clock on the booth. It was already afternoon.

Lindsey took a sip of tea and said calmly: "If he really wanted to give up, he should have given up a few years ago."

"Today is the opening day of the puppet exhibition. It is the most heavily guarded day in the puppet city, and it is also the most chaotic and easiest time to succeed. I believe he will not miss such a good opportunity."

Chu Ming looked up at the sky. The iron eagle flew across the sky in the blue wind. He temporarily hid his doubts in his heart.

"Forget it, it's almost Mia and Roman's turn."

He put his attention back to the booth.

After a morning of review, 20 puppet works scored in the good range of 7 to 8 points, 5 puppet works were rated as excellent, and even two puppet works reached an amazing score of more than 9 points.

According to Trina, the quality of this year's exhibition is better than in previous years. Various new puppet technologies are gradually experiencing explosive growth, and there are many works with great potential.

After waiting for a while, some people came on stage, and some people left the stage one after another. After the judges finished their comments, Ned Zerick was supported by the puppet and walked to the front again.

The old man looked at the speech in his hand, paused, and said in surprise: "It's really rare. The puppet team that will enter next is from the Burning Guild in the Knight District. They will bring us the latest memory puppet technology."

"Knight Guild?"

"Is it the legendary Knight Puppet Master?"

"It's really rare."

The people on the high platform talked a lot. They looked curious and couldn't imagine how the knights and the puppet exhibition were related.

In the Knight District, the knights of the three major guilds who were watching the sky mirror were also stunned.

"Burning Guild? Isn't this the guild where the leader of the Blood Alliance is?"

"It's really strange that the Burning Guild actually has such a powerful puppet master who can appear on the puppet exhibition."

Not to mention ordinary knights, even the presidents of the three major guilds were at a loss when they saw this scene.

Grayson Santos, the president of the Blood Wolf Guild, murmured, "What is Lord Ryan trying to do..."

"No... No, now is not the time to dwell on this."

The man was indeed the head of the three major guilds, a person who maintained order in the entire Knight Street District, and he woke up in an instant.

"Brothers, get up quickly and follow me out."

A knight asked in confusion, "President, what are we going out for?"

Grayson patted the knight's head, "You are stupid, this is the puppet team supported by the leader of the Blood Alliance, of course we have to strongly support it, and it would be best if Lord Ryan could see it."

"Come on, follow me out to parade and cheer for them."

"Oh, then do we need to notify the other two guilds?"

The man sighed, "Ronnie and the others are not easy to deal with, maybe they have already gone out, and we still need to remind them."

The knight's face tightened, "Then let's go quickly, President."

A few minutes later, the knights of the three major guilds in the Knight Street District spontaneously walked out of the guild, raised the Blood Alliance flag, and walked on the street, shouting.

"The Burning Guild is mighty!"

"The Knights are mighty!"

The citizens who were still watching the mirror on the street were surprised to see many knights passing through the street, and they all made way.

On the magic airship, Mattie's eyes flickered, and she reported to the three people: "Miss, the guild knights in the Knight District are parading. Do you want to stop them?"

Trina was slightly stunned, "What do they want to do?"

"I heard that they are cheering for the puppet team from the guild."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Chu Ming showed a helpless expression. He remembered that he didn't seem to have arranged a parade.

The smile on Trina's face became more and more intense, "Let them go. If there is any accident on the street, these knights can also provide help at the critical moment."

"But then I will ask my junior brother to command."

Chu Ming nodded and said: "Grayson Santos and the others really don't seem to have any intention of threatening the security in the city, and I am sure they are not evil god believers."

"If something really happens, I will order all the knights to help."

While the two were chatting, Roman on the booth had already started to talk about the new puppet technology.

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen."

Roman saluted calmly and elegantly.

"The new generation of puppet technology brought by our team is called memory network, which can realize the consciousness connection between puppeteers and puppets..."

After the man spoke fluently for a few minutes, he finally stopped and looked at everyone.

"Consciousness connection? Hasn't it been around for a long time?"

"It's really strange."

The puppeteers on the high platform started to discuss.

Roman's face remained unchanged, "Under the leadership of Ms. Mia, the memory network technology developed by our team has lower latency, more realistic consciousness connection experience, and lower mental workload..."

"Please let Ms. Mia explain the specific technical data and applications to us."

With the help of the puppets, several metal boxes were lifted up.

"Mia, you tell me."

Roman handed the initiative to Mia, who was extremely nervous behind him.

The girl nodded tremblingly, and her palms were sweating with nervousness.

"Hello everyone, I am a student from the Third Puppet Academy...Mia Serrano, and also the main leader of the guild team. Thank you Mr. Ryan for your support, which has allowed me to get to where I am now."

After the girl introduced herself, whispers rang out on the podium.

"Student? You're really young."

"You're so young, but you're the leader of the team. You're amazing."

"And which boss is Ryan? He is so generous."

"Haha, I wonder what means Mia used to get to the top."

"Indeed, if a big boss could sponsor me, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

Mia is too young after all. No matter her experience or other aspects, people can't see anything special about her. They also don't believe that Chu Ming chose to sponsor Mia just to obtain technology.

And it's a special combination of knights and puppeteers.

Although there were mostly praises at the scene, there were also many criticisms and malice.

The discussion came like a tide, which made Mia, who had no experience in dealing with it, freeze in place in an instant, her mind was blank, and she was so scared that she couldn't speak.

The old man Ned sitting next to him frowned and was about to speak to defend him, but he didn't expect a faint female voice to come from the high platform.

"Silence!"

The woman's voice was not loud, but it seemed to have some kind of magic, which made all the puppeteers present quiet down and look up at the deck above.

"It's Her Royal Highness."

"Shh, stop making noise."

"Huh? Why is there a man next to Her Royal Highness?"

Just when everyone was confused, Mia on the stage shouted in surprise.

"Mr. Ryan."

Chu Ming met everyone's gaze, smiled slightly, and waved at her.

"Hiss, is he that Mr. Ryan?"

Some of the puppeteers present changed their faces. The man who could follow Her Royal Highness around was not someone they could criticize. Everyone booed immediately, and the whole venue fell silent for a while.

"It's Lord Ryan!"

The knights wandering on the street saw Chu Ming appear next to Trina and Lindsey, their faces were happy, and they waved flags more vigorously.

Trina didn't explain anything, just said: "Go on."

Krono, who was sitting on the high platform, looked up and winked at Chu Ming. He immediately stood up, raised his hands and shouted: "Roman, I'm your fan!"

"Mia, I'm your fan too!"

"Come on."

As Krono finished speaking, the puppeteers on the scene couldn't help laughing, and the stagnant atmosphere became active again.

Old man Ned bowed slightly to Trina and the others, and then sat down again.

On the booth, Mia took a deep breath, as if she was encouraged, and her inner tension was relieved a lot.

She calmed down, and with the help of Roman and others, she opened the metal box under her feet, revealing the densely packed, black, insect-like puppets inside.

"What is this?"

"Insects?"

The puppeteers all showed puzzled expressions on their faces, and only a few senior puppeteers and puppet masters realized anything.

Mia said in a deep voice: "The memory network can realize the connection between the puppeteer and the puppet's consciousness, take over the entire body of the puppet, and thus realize the control of the puppet like controlling a clone."

"But this is only one of the characteristics of the memory network. Compared with the traditional consciousness connection, the memory network has a lower mental burden on the puppeteer."

"Just like me now..."

Mia waved her hand, and the metal box flickered with a faint light. A "buzzing" sounded, and ten steel puppets that looked like bees flew out with the brilliance of magic.

"Control ten puppets at once?!"

Everyone showed a surprised expression on their faces.

"It's really amazing. With my epic mental power, it's no problem to control an epic puppet, but it's very difficult to control two ordinary puppets at the same time."

"As the number of puppets controlled increases, the mental power requirements will also increase exponentially. I guess only legendary mental power can meet the requirements of controlling two puppets at the same time. I really don't know how they solved it."

The puppet masters in the front row nodded, "This technology is really good."

All of a sudden, everyone looked at Mia with a different look, and they all applauded.

The dean of the Royal Puppet Academy commented: "It is an innovative technology. I give it to you..."

"Please wait a moment, old man."

Mia stopped the old man. She looked relaxed and said: "Controlling ten puppets is not the upper limit of this technology."

"As long as the level of the puppets is low enough, you can control the entire bee colony at once like I am now."

She waved her hand again, and this time, several metal boxes emitted a dazzling brilliance.

An annoying "buzzing" sound sounded, and dense black shadows instantly flew out of the box, gathering into a stream and flying in the air.

"Imagine if I have epic puppets in my hands, what should you do with them."

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was noisy.

"What?!"

"How is this possible?!"

"I checked with my mental power, there must be 437 black bee puppets in it!"

The faces of countless puppet masters changed drastically, and they stood up from their seats.
