Chapter 1207 - Laibo (1/2)

A three-story building could be seen inside the area protected by the arrays. The construction style was clearly that of the early stage of the 3rd Dynasty, and it was well preserved. There were several damaged puppets inside, but apart from a few salvageable components, they weren’t very useful.

After walking inside the building, he saw many arrays that had lost their magic power. Most things couldn’t stand the decay of time and would collapse with a single touch before shattering into dust.

He found a scribbled diary which belonged to a captain of this ruins in charge of many matters.

But most of the things written on the diary were worthless things such as ‘today I saw that female mage ten kilometers away, I’ll show off the mission assigned by the powerful eastern mage group.’

Most of the diary has already been damaged and Lin Yun only found one valuable piece of information, a map of the ruins.

In order to prevent the ruins’ inhabitants from accidently intruding in some forbidden areas and end up killed by the puppets, captain-level people had a map of this ruins and they supervised people and puppets as they both had a strict range of movement.

Lin Yun then walked to the 3rd floor of the building and rapidly discovered a peculiar area. There was an opening in a corner of a wall and inside was a wooden box made out of Black-patterned Iron Tree.

The wooden box fit perfectly within this gap, if one didn’t know about it ahead of time, they definitely wouldn’t find it even if they used mana to search. Black-patterned Iron Tree had formidable magic resistance and anything put inside the Black-patterned Iron Tree box wouldn’t be discovered by magic. Moreover, mages trusted their magic the most.

Lin Yun opened the box and found a fist-sized crystal ball in which floated an island-like mirage. He poured a wisp of mana into the crystal ball and his mind power focused on a certain part of the island. The scene rapidly changed and turned into a three-dimensional figure.

A narrow passage appeared out of nowhere and linked to the island. This was the passage Lin Yun had taken earlier.

As he poured more mana, the scene kept transforming and many names appeared. Most of the places were marked with red names, which meant dangerous areas that couldn’t be crossed. The owner of the crystal ball only controlled the surroundings of this building.

This place originally was a place where many replacement parts for puppets were produced. There were some places that produced more important parts, but these places were all marked with red letters.

After attentively observing the map, Lin Yun swept a glance and most of the places marked in red were under the protection of intact arrays. By adjusting his line of sight, it seemed that his line of sight was overlooking the entire ruins.

And when he adjusted the crystal ball to the eastern side of the ruins, he saw a huge array and noticed that there was nothing apart from that array, he couldn’t see a building inside.

He would at least see a layer of fog in the other areas, even if it was blurry, he could still make out the inside. But he couldn’t on the easternmost side, it was even indicated in blood red letters that it was forbidden to peep or get close.

After irresolutely mumbling, Lin Yun put away the crystal ball and went over. He came here looking for the Reedpush Plate, and from looking at the map, if he was right, the Reedpush Plate should be in the easternmost area.

The Reedpush Plate must be where the owner of the ruins resided. He had to go there, but he first had to go to other places.

One of the areas was referenced as the puppet energy system production area, and another was referenced as the battle system production area.

According to the map, these two areas were the biggest and the buildings were the highest, even higher than the weapon system area.

Lin Yun was suddenly taken aback. He shrunk the map and checked the overall layout. He had felt that this layout was very familiar and he only remembered after checking the entire layout of the ruins.

The huge puppet base in the Natural Demiplane was set up like that. It’s just that the base was an underground base, but that was a negligible detail.

Now that he thought about it, it was really the case. That ruins was a huge puppet base emphasizing on the energy system on the easternmost side, while the westernmost side was the assembly location. When he entered this base, he had entered from the westernmost side.

Moreover, every part and every system was separated in its own area, there couldn’t be interference between them, this was exactly the same as the puppet base.

This wasn’t something all puppeteers did, everyone had their own style. Now that he recalled that, the more Lin Yun thought about it, the more he felt the huge connection between the puppet base and the ruins.

That kind of fierce sword puppet was even higher level than the sword puppets of the base, while the casting puppets were more or less the same.

Lin Yun frowned and suddenly wondered how it could be related to the puppet base of the Raging Flame Plane…

He followed the map and took the safe path, but he still encountered some awakened puppets After completely dismantling them, and comparing the components to the ones he had picked up before, he was surprised to find out that most of the components came from an assembly line. Almost every single part seemed to have been following a model and were carbon copies.

These clearly were components that came out of an assembly line, and assembled into puppets. They were purely prepared for a puppet army.

As he thought of the puppets of the puppet base, he felt that the puppets’ weak points were very similar.

It’s just that this ruins’ puppets had formidable battle systems, or it was better to say that the more puppets were gathered, the stronger their battle system.

Lin Yun tried to decipher it, but he discovered that these puppets’ battle system was strange. After deciphering it, most of it was actually normal, it was a very ordinary battle system, but a portion couldn’t be cracked for the time being.

The cracked content was meaningless stuff, but Lin Yun didn’t believe that there would be meaningless runes in the battle system.
