411 Screen (1/2)

The workshop looked completely empty aside from a few puppets by the entrance, but they weren't operational. The group walked deeper inside, but didn't find anything special.

'But what's that fierce mana fluctuation…'

Lin Yun's gaze inadvertently fell onto an inconspicuous corner where a puppet was laying flat on its back. From where he stood, that puppet didn't seem special at first glance, it looked no different from the puppets at the entrance. But Lin Yun could see that this puppet had many sword gashes on its body, as well as lingering mana fluctuations.

Those few puppets flanking the doorway had defective parts, or no mana sources, but the one in the corner was different, it looked as if it had gone through a very arduous battle and looked quite worn out.

Lin Yun walked next to that alchemy puppet and crouched down. He carefully studied the puppet in front of him and with his insight, he was able to glean that this puppet was old, very old. Lin Yun then proceeded to do a thorough check of the puppet's body and found out that the mana source's mana circuits had been forcefully severed a long time ago.

He then followed along those circuits and found out that the mana source compartment was empty, it had clearly been removed by someone a long time ago.

Lin Yun shook his head. Just as he got up, he felt faint, almost undetectable mana fluctuation. It came from the empty place for mana source. Lin Yun's expression suddenly changed, his body stiffened as he motionlessly looked at the puppet. He clearly felt a remnant mana fluctuation left by the mana source, and it was unfathomably powerful.

'The mana source that supported the puppet was definitely a level 40 mana crystal… At the very least…'

Lin Yun wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, this was definitely a Heaven Rank Puppet. Had the mana source not been snatched by someone, they might have ended up dead today.

The reason behind the siege of a thousand puppets was easy to guess now, it was definitely the doing of this puppet, it altered the programs of the puppets in the workshop. After that Heaven Rank Puppet lost its mana source, those puppets kept operating based on their program and besieged anyone who approached the workshop.

After examining the parts of the Heaven Rank Puppet, Lin Yun discovered with joy that most of the components were intact. Only a small part had suffered various amount of damage.

Lin Yun suddenly thought of the Heaven Rank Puppet he got from Vaughn's laboratory. If Lin Yun used the parts of the Heaven Rank Puppet before him to fix his own Heaven Rank Puppet, then he would need only a high level mana crystal as a mana source.

As for those few components he needed to replace, Lin Yun wasn't too worried. In any case, he would inevitably take a trip to the Puppet Plane in the future and take some components back.

Once he completely restored that Heaven Rank Puppet, even if its strength wouldn't reach as high as Heaven Rank, it would be able to easily handle level 37 or 38.

If he could find everything he needed in the Puppet Plane, Lin Yun was certain that he could make the puppet reach Star Sage Jouyi's level.

What kind of concept was that...

That was the peak of the Archmage realm, an existence that could grasp a wisp of Extraordinary power.

In Noscent's history, no more than twenty Heaven Rank Puppets appeared. It would already be quite decent if Lin Yun could make that puppet's strength approach Heaven Rank.

Lin Yun didn't remain idle, he casually disassembled the components. The speed at which he was disassembling would make Artisans gasp in amazement. The light dismantling noises kept going for a dozen minutes as each and every precious part was taken apart. William, Delson, and the others didn't pay attention to his movements, they were actually looking around the huge workshop.

Lin Yun tore apart the core part, and when he was about to tear apart the mechanical system, the Heaven Rank Puppet that had been laying down on its back suddenly moved.

That's right, it really moved.

Lin Yun jumped up, startled.

'What's this…'

He then remembered that the mana source of that Heaven Puppet was gone and no matter how strange it was, it couldn't threaten him. Moreover, he had dismantled over half of the parts already.

After going through the end of the Magic Era, Lin Yun knew that whether it was magic ships or puppets, once they lost their mana source, they were no different from piles of scrap metal.

But… The Heaven Rank Puppet's eyes suddenly shone. Lin Yun saw this scene and seemed to recall something as he turned towards the wall behind him.

”This is…”

Lin Yun was stunned when he saw that screen. It was a screen recording Charles the Emperor leading numerous human powerhouses to break the Throne of Life.

That was an unprecedented battle.

Chromatic Dragons and pure-blooded Elves were jointly protecting the Throne of Life and launched all sorts of powerful attacks towards Charles' group. At that time, many humans fell to those attacks.

'The Merlin Family Ancestor! It's really the ancestor of the Merlin Family…'
