Chapter 1205 - Exploration (1/2)

Lin Yun let out a relaxed sigh. He stepped forward and directly crushed the still-flickering scarlet eyes of a puppet before starting to inspect these puppets’ components.

Most of the components were nothing special, and Lin Yun was already too familiar with this kind of construction method. During the end of the Magic Era, Heaven Puppets were no different from piles of scrap metal, they were just slightly more complicated toys.

Lin Yun was very familiar with these puppets’ construction methods, he easily recognized the models of the rivets.

That’s why he knew that these peak level 39 puppets shouldn’t be able display such formidable fighting strength. It wasn’t because of their cooperation, but rather because their power was greater than the puppets usually constructed with these methods.

The ten cooperating puppets could already display the power of a Heaven Rank powerhouse, and they were 30% faster than they should have been. This was very abnormal.

Sure enough, Lin Yun didn’t seem surprised after carefully inspecting the puppets’ parts.

The overall construction was very backward, many improvements have been made in the construction of puppets in this era. Many of the designs used in the construction of these puppets had already been abandoned.

According to the designs of these puppets, their fighting strength shouldn’t be as good as the puppets mass produced by Lin Yun. Yet these guys were terrifyingly powerful, they were at least twice as powerful as their designs.

The root of everything was the energy system. These puppets’ energy systems weren’t on the same level as their designs. Their mana was outstanding, but everything else was an era behind!

Lin Yun put away the components. Many of them were unusable since the parts were backward. Only the energy systems were outstanding.

This was an energy system very similar to the one used on the streets and alleys of the Grey Beastmen’s fort, but it was also completely different.

This kind of system didn’t need mana crystals as a source of power, rather, it was using decayed mana to supplement some pure mana crystals, which was enough for the energy system to operate at full power for a few months. The mana would continuously decay before generating great power once again.

The energy produced by rapid decay was even more powerful than mana itself. This wasn’t something an average alchemist could design.

Lin Yun was shocked when he saw this energy system, because this was a technology that would be applied in the future, when Noscent World was developed to its peak and battleships were the best tool to conquer planes. That technology should be developed during that era.

But he hadn’t expected that an era ago, an alchemist designed a small-scale mana source that was a few dozen millennia ahead of its time

Lin Yun didn’t know how many energy systems he had dismantled in those large-scale magic battleships. It’s just that they had already fallen in the desert for countless years and didn’t have any mana, they were empty shells that could only be used for research.

He had wanted to reduce the effect of the energy system and reduce its size to put it into a puppet’s body, but it was a step he had yet to accomplish. The records of Heiss City’s decaying library only showed that as a complete technology for the battleships, there was no mention of the earlier prototypes.

And this mana source’s biggest benefit was that as long as it didn’t burst with full power, the mana source could continue for more than ten millennia, just like these puppets which had been in a silent state and could have continued to remain in that state for a few dozen millennia with their power source intact.

After putting away those energy systems, Lin Yun made a rough assessment. If he remodelled these puppets with these few energy systems, they would be able to display the power of Pseudo Heaven Rank powerhouses. And with the good coordination between their battle systems, their outstanding strength, and perfect cooperation, ten Pseudo Heaven Puppets might be able to kill a Heaven Rank powerhouse.

After putting away a bunch of parts, Lin Yun continued to move forward. After several hundred meters, the path suddenly opened up into a wide world. Mist filled the surroundings and no sun could be seen, yet rays of light sprinkled down.

Ruins of buildings were silently standing on this wasteland. Lush weeds covering the ground emitted a deathly aura as they seemed to have already died. Even the air and the elements felt deathly still.

Seeing the vestiges of these buildings, Lin Yun instantly judged that this wasn’t a ruins of the Nesser Dynasty.

In this wasteland, there were pillars carved with numerous magic beasts and patterns emitting faint radiances. There was also a faint mana connection between every pillar.

And at the base of the pillars, one of the magic beasts had its tail coiled around the pillar as it disappeared underground. This was a Crouching Moonlight Beast. This famous monster could be recognized with a single glance due to its peculiar tail.

The Crouching Moonlight Beast was a rare dual attribute magic beast. It could drill in the earth to use the earth’s power, while also absorbing the power of the Moonlight. During full moons, the power of the Crouching Moonlight Beast could rise by one small level.

And this race followed after the Silvermoon Elves in becoming completely extinct at the end of the 3rd Dynasty. When the Dragons’ throne was overthrown, this kind of magic beast rapidly became extinct because of their peculiar ability.

They were the hunting dogs of the Silvermoon Elves, their pets. Almost every Silvermoon household raised a Crouching Moonlight Beast.

During the Nesser Dynasty, the position of the Crouching Moonlight Beast was very high, they held one of the highest status among magic beasts, similar to Unicorns.

In the Nesser Dynasty, if a Crouching Moonlight Beast accidentally killed a member of a non-Pureblood Elven race, even if it was in the city, it wouldn’t be punished as long as it had a master. The master would only need to pay compensation.

Therefore, it was impossible for a Crouching Moonlight Beast to be carved on a defensive pillar to draw power from the earth during the Nesser Dynasty.

And the puppets he just saw were most popular during the end of the Nesser Dynasty and the start of the 3rd Dynasty.

The Nesser Dynasty being ruled out, this was definitely a ruins from the 3rd Dynasty!

He found a few areas that had been inhabited before, the houses were built with artsy pointed rooftops. The walls were ashen white, but it could be seen that they should have been snow white at the time.
