Chapter 238

3 "This, since there are only two halves of the body, my conclusion can only be a guess," Lu Lin said, "First of all, this thing must have been put in by humans."

wu "After all, it is not easy to dismantle the core area of ​​the magic puppet, and you have to take out the things inside first, and then put this thing in, so it is impossible for wild creatures to lay eggs inside."

"As for why this creature was put in, I have two guesses."

"First, once this kind of creature grows up, it can have the ability to control magic puppets."

"This guess is based on analysis of the tissue in the organism."

"The tissues in this creature possess a special energy, the effect is similar to magic power, and the gaps in its carapace can allow body fluids to pass in and out."

"In other words, after this thing hatches, it is not impossible to control the magic puppet through the energy in the body and this special body fluid."

"As for the second guess, someone may be using this method to secretly transport the eggs of this creature."

"If that's the case, then whether this creature can control the magic puppet or not, it barely makes sense."

"But the problem is also obvious. Although a magic puppet is not expensive, if it is used to transport just one egg, the efficiency is really low."

“So, I was wondering, maybe it’s a little bit of both.”

Hearing Lu Lin's words, Xiulins frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "I said, this thing is actually quite dangerous, right?"

"It's quite dangerous," Lu Lin nodded. "You have to know that Li Mi's first sword attack not only failed to kill it, but actually seemed to have absorbed the energy of the attack, making it grow bigger. It's still better to use the sword directly. It was cut in half, but according to subsequent experiments, its resistance to physical attacks is actually quite poor, and an ordinary knife can cut its shell. "

"That may be because this one has just finished hatching," Xiulinsi said, "It may even be that it has not finished its incubation yet. Shirt (４∨四咷成hatched, forced to break the shell, that's why it's so fragile."

"No, I think it is possible that its own physical resistance is so weak," Lu Lin shook his head and said, "Don't forget, it is placed in the Magic Puppet Center."

Hearing this, Xiulinsi immediately raised her eyebrows. ⒐

Yes, this thing is placed in the center of the magic puppet. Even if its outer skin is weak, if it can control the magic puppet, then the outer shell of the magic puppet will become its most powerful armor. 4

If in this case, it can still absorb energy attacks from the outside, it may still not pose a threat to top swordsmen like Rumi, but to any magic profession or warriors whose strength is not as strong as the master, it will May pose a threat. ⒏

"If there are too many of these things, they should not be underestimated..." Xiulinsi murmured. 2

"Yes, it's even enough to form an army, but it's still the most troublesome kind of army," Lu Lin said. "Do you think it might be the work of the Great Gash Cult?"⑷

"It's not like that," Xiulinsi shook her head, "This is originally the territory of the Great Gash Cult. They don't need to dump such a dangerous and possibly uncontrollable thing. Moreover, the way this thing is designed is actually very similar to that of a specially designed thing. To deal with them."

"How do you say this?" Lu Lin asked. mix

"Most of the people in the Great Gash Cult are warriors, but their fighting style is particularly dependent on the release of magic power," Xiulinsi said. "They use precious gems as magic power amplifiers and storage devices to use magic power during battles. Extending weapons and attacks to increase attack range and power is their main feature. When used specifically, it looks like this.

Xiulinsi said, casually picking up a knife and raising it into the air. black

Then, a red blade of light stretched out from the blade. The knife, which was once only a few centimeters wide and more than ten centimeters long, had now expanded into a machete nearly ten centimeters wide and sixty or seventy centimeters long.

"Damn, he's so handsome," Lu Lin exclaimed, "No wonder they like the dagger so much. It turns out it's used as a 'knife handle'."

"By the way, those who use scimitars are their long-range hands," Xiulinsi said. "Although they are warriors, their attacks are composed of magic power. Now you understand why I said this thing is like a specialized weapon." It’s designed to deal with them.”

"They have a certain amount of physical resistance and can absorb magic attacks. You are right, professional counterpart." Lu Lin frowned, "Is there someone who wants to deal with them? Do they have any enemies?"

"Enemies? No," Xiulinsi shook her head, "They may be the most slick force in the entire continent, but there are many people who are jealous of their business. What should I say, do you want to interfere in this matter? "

"This thing is probably related to the dungeon we are going to. I still want to check it out if I can," Lu Lin said. "And if there is a chance to sell this group of people a favor, I think At that time, A Diao should If I can make a good meal with it, well...it seems that I have to go to the market again."

The origin of this thing㈨∑← Zero Temple⊥〃捌~→四㈡ Jiu0 Dance Search$_Search: Since it is the guy who sells things in the market, before Luo Di comes back, this is the only one in Lu Lin’s hand The clue is that it depends on luck whether a stall owner who looks like a free mercenary can encounter him a second time.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin immediately took Li Mi out of the door and headed straight for the market.

At this moment, the major forces that had been waiting outside for a long time also became excited.

They had been waiting for Lu Lin for almost a day, and finally they waited for Lu Lin to show up.

Moreover, compared with the masked appearance at the banquet, Lu Lin now looked much easier to talk to. Even if there were people from the Great Gash Cult watching him, they did not intend to give up trying, and began to arrange people to follow Lu Lin and find ways to create "chance encounters".

Lu Lin, who had no idea that he had been surrounded, came to the market as quickly as possible and found the location where the mercenary had set up a stall.

Unfortunately, the stall had been replaced by a small stall where an old man in the city sold antiques. He was holding a jar that he didn't know was a big deal and priced it at tens of thousands.

Lu Lin frowned immediately, and when he was about to start searching the surrounding shops with this as the center of the circle, he suddenly heard a clang behind him.

Turning around, he found that the person he was looking for was posing like a frightened monkey, with an old axe lying at his feet, a cloth bag in his arms, and looking at Lu Lin with horror.

Seeing Lu Lin looking over, his expression also changed, revealing an expression that he didn't know whether he was crying or laughing, and he stammered: "Well, that... Brothers, let's make a deal, I, the things I sell here, can, can't be returned... returned."

Chapter 391 What? You didn't turn off the automatic pickup, right?

The representatives of the Chamber of Commerce in the city were a little confused.

They finally waited for Lu Lin to come out, and just when they were about to arrange a "chance encounter", Lu Lin stayed outside for a while, and then turned around and ran back to his own dragon.

And he didn't run back alone, he also took away a free mercenary of unknown origin from the market.

For a while, all the chambers of commerce began to investigate the information of this mercenary, wanting to know what kind of guy would be taken away by Lu Lin. 2

At this moment, the mercenary warrior didn't know that he had become a big star. Instead, he sat on the sofa in the reception room with fear and panic. 9

"Don't be so nervous. I said, I'm not looking for you to return the goods," Lu Lin looked at him with a wry smile. ㈣

He now figured out why this guy looked like that when he sold him the magic puppet. Zero

The core of this magic puppet was replaced with the egg of that strange creature, so it is obviously impossible to start this magic puppet in the normal way. si

This guy probably didn't know the specific situation of this magic puppet. He just thought it was broken and sold it as a defective product, so he was particularly afraid that Lu Lin would come to him for a refund. 彡

After all, for a mercenary of his level, twenty silver coins can be his income for half a month's work. He is reluctant to return it to Lu Lin. Wu

Lu Lin naturally saw what he was thinking, so he took out a gold coin and placed it on the table. 6

"See this gold coin?" Lu Lin said, "Just answer my questions and it will be yours." IV

Hearing this, the nervous mercenary suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at the gold coin, then looked at Lu Lin, and asked: "What, what's the problem?"

"About this magic puppet," Lu Lin said, "Can you tell me where you got it from?"

"Ah?" The mercenary blinked, "Well... Aren't you returning it, but want to buy it?"

"That's none of your business," Lu Lin knocked the table with the gold coin, "Don't you want the gold coin?"

"No, this..." The mercenary scratched his head, "Well, if I say I picked it up outside, do you believe it?"

"Picked it up?" Lu Lin frowned slightly, "Where did you pick it up?"

"Just..." The mercenary hesitated, "Just, I was walking outside, and then, I picked it up..."

Seeing the mercenary stuttering, Lu Lin frowned immediately.

His intuition told him that something was wrong. Maybe this guy was a problem.

So he immediately changed his attitude, and began to use both kindness and force to coerce and induce. Lu Lin even began to plan that if this guy still didn't tell the truth, he would torture him.

Fortunately, this mercenary didn't have the backbone to hold on to that step.

He did have some problems, but not the kind of problems Lu Lin thought.

But what he called "picking up" was actually stealing.

⑨ Before this guy came back to set up a stall, he actually followed a monster hunting team to pick up leaks. He carried a bag and did nothing else, just waiting for others to hunt, and then went to the battlefield to look for things to see if he could get something.

④ Generally, for a more powerful hunting team, the team has limited space for transporting goods, and there will always be some things that cannot be taken away. Sousuo: ㈨0≮∪⒋⊥∑魃→〉④2wine neighbor⑤

⑧This brother followed others with his earth dragon, waiting to pick up what others left behind.

②Although it was picking up scraps, after all, he was the only one acting alone, and he didn't have to fight. After picking up a lot of scraps, he could set up a stall for a month, so he could make a living.

④His messy materials and some equipment were the monsters killed by the expedition team on the way and the leftovers of some vagrant gangs. He picked them up and sold them as goods.

③The only exception was this magic puppet.

③ He got this magic puppet when he happened to meet a caravan unloading goods outside the city on his way back.

０ It was almost dark at that time. When he saw others unloading goods, he suddenly had an idea in his mind. He pretended to rest beside and waited to see if there was any leaks to pick up after work at night.

⑤ As a result, he waited until night, and he really got the chance.

After the other party unloaded the goods, there was a period of gathering and eating. No one was watching the goods, so he sneaked over and moved a magic puppet placed at the outermost.

Then the reason why he was so anxious when selling this magic puppet to Lu Lin was not because he knew that there was something wrong with the puppet, but because it was stolen goods, so he was in a hurry to sell it, fearing that the owner would find trouble with him if he found it.

: Later, the reason why he panicked when Lu Lin came to him was simply because he was guilty.

Lu Lin was speechless.

However, he at least provided a valuable clue.

Because the caravan that he stole the magic puppets from was now parking its large earth dragon on the grassland outside the city, just like Lu Lin and others. It was now diagonally opposite Lu Lin and others.

As for where the goods they unloaded went, he didn't know, at least they were gone now.

As for whether he saw other magic puppets when he went to steal the magic puppets before.

According to him, there should be a few more similar ones. Anyway, he saw so many, and he didn't know whether there were more that were not unloaded.

After getting this information, Lu Lin let the mercenary go.

Looking at his cheerful little steps when he left, he was obviously very happy about the fact that he got a gold coin inexplicably.

But he was happy, but Lu Lin was in a complicated mood.

"Several puppets..." Xiulinsi frowned, "There are not many, but I don't know if he saw all of them."

"The most important thing is the origin of this group of people and the origin and destination of these puppets," Lu Lin said, "Can you tell the origin of the earth dragon?"

"I can't tell. There are no flags, no obvious signs, and even the architectural style is the most ordinary. The earth dragon itself is nothing special," Xiulinsi said, "If you must say, you can see that it has walked in a sandy environment."

"Does it mean that they came from the desert?" Lu Lin asked.

"Not necessarily. There are several trade routes that pass through desertified areas. To be honest, this is not a useful clue," Xiulinsi shook her head.

"Well... Can we only look for clues from people?" Lu Lin folded his arms, "A rash contact may alert the enemy. It seems that we have to keep an eye on it and wait for Luo Di to come back."

"Lu Di?" Xiulinsi asked in confusion, "Who?"

The corner of Lu Lin's mouth twitched.

Just when Lu Lin was thinking whether he should waste time introducing Xiu Linsi to him again, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Yo, it sounds like someone is looking for me."

Lu Lin was stunned, turned his head and found that Luo Di had come back with the ferret without knowing when, and was leaning against the wall at one side.

At this moment, he was holding three white round eggs in his hand, playing a game of throwing and catching.

Chapter 392 Hello, Mr. Luo Men, let me inform you that your house may explode

"Did you find these three eggs from the caravan in Oasis City?" Lu Lin looked at Luo Di in surprise.

"To be precise, they were found in the goods that were robbed from the caravans," Luodi said, "The caravan was destroyed by the bandits, and all the goods were robbed."

"Are these three also installed in the core of the magic puppet?" Lu Lin asked.

"'Also'?" Luodi blinked, then turned his gaze to the "disemboweled" magic puppet on the side, frowning slightly, "Huh? You have it here too? Where did you find it?"

"I was just about to tell you about this," Lu Lin poured Luodi a cup of tea, and then told Luodi about the recent events.

After listening, Luodi went out directly, saying that he wanted to take a look at the opposite ground dragon.

As a result, he did come back in a short while, but the news he brought back surprised several people.

The Oasis City caravan they were busy looking for was actually parked opposite them.

Yes, this ground dragon came from Oasis City, and the things about the location of Oasis City found from the bandits before were also on this ground dragon.

"If you look at it this way," Lu Lin looked at the three white eggs locked in a crystal jar not far away, "the appearance of these things is not a coincidence, but what exactly is this thing? Is it something in the dungeon we are going to?"

"Yes, that thing," Luo Di nodded, "The first few floors of the dungeon are all this thing, there are adults and eggs, the adults are big and small, the largest can be as big as a cow, can absorb any type of magic attack, have strong resistance to high temperature and can also absorb heat energy, but have no defense against pure physical attacks."

ba"This is similar to what I guessed," Lu Lin said, "Then what about stuffing its eggs into the magic puppet?"

5"I haven't encountered this before," Luo Di shook his head, "but..."

7Lu Di said, using illusions to reproduce the scene when he encountered the moving magic puppet.

This scene is exactly the same as Lu Lin's previous guess. This insect can really control the magic puppet.

６ The main body can absorb magic attacks and use puppets to supplement physical defense. If there are enough puppets, it can even subvert a city like Fufuerde with just these puppets.

３ Then the question is, who did this?

4 Since the caravans all came from the oasis city, could it be that someone in the oasis city wanted to use this thing to cause trouble in the surrounding area?

jiusi Then who is the target?
