Chapter 1218 - Heaven Grade Array (1/2)

Chapter 1218 Heaven Grade Array

Bill George was eccentric, he only trusted puppets and was apparently very wary of humans. Especially in the ruins, during the future excavations of ruins of various sizes, they hadn’t discovered traces of humans or other races’ lifeforms, only traces of puppets had been found.

Since he came here, Lin Yun had found a lot of human traces. Thus, even if he knew that this ruins was similar to the puppet base of the Raging Flame Plane to some degree, he hadn’t linked it to Bill George’s ruins.

It was because Bill George’s personality was too distinct, he never trusted humans. He was always accompanied by a large number of puppets. He always relied on puppets to deal with everything. If he had some conflict, he would lead a puppet army.

This was also the reason why Bill George was equivalent to an entire force by himself. No one knew exactly how many puppets Bill George possessed and how powerful they were, but every time there was a war, endless puppets would flood the other side, submerging them in a skill-less puppet waves tactic.

But it had to be said that this kind of tactic was sometimes very effective. The puppets were fearless of death like Undeads. They would also unhesitantly slash at their opponents’ heads when they were pierced. Aside from undead armies, no other army could keep their morale at an all-time high.

This was the main reason why undeads were so frightening, they had endless numbers, were fearless and unafraid of death, and only knew how to keep going forward to slaughter. This would scare any living lifeform.

Now that he found two more damaged notes, Lin Yun could be certain that even if this ruins wasn’t personally managed by Bill George, it was directly related to Bill George.

Because some of the scattered clues clearly stated that these people were all Bill George’s descendants, and they were all descendants proficient in alchemy.

They were here to help complete a task that puppets couldn’t complete and which was related to Heaven Puppets’ ability runes.

Lin Yun instantly understood when he read that part.

After advancing to the Heaven Rank, the puppets that gained wisdom could awaken a special ability.

And that special ability was the ability rune. It could greatly increase a puppet’s fighting strength or strengthen an ability.

But the mages had yet to find the method to transplant the ability rune by the time Noscent was destroyed. Either the effect of the transplant would be greatly reduced, or they were lucky and subdued a Heaven Puppet that was about to transplant its ability rune.

The ability rune could be transplanted in the Puppet Plane, but it only happened between puppets, there was some kind of law power involved helping them with the transplant.

But this was only limited to transplanting other puppets’ ability runes on their bodies. Puppets that could help other puppets transplant an ability rune were rare. Only three had been recorded, and these three were terrifying powerhouses of the Puppet Plane, the pillars of the Cybertan race, very old existences that could be traced back to the Era of Gods.

Clearly, human powerhouses didn’t conquer the Puppet Plane so there was no way to have these puppets act and help with the transplant of ability runes.

And the Heaven Puppets of this place clearly didn’t gain their ability runes from defeating other puppets or had them transplanted via law power. The transplant had been done through alchemy.

This meant that Bill George mastered the way to transplant ability runes, and puppets clearly didn’t participate in the research and tests. This could only be done with human help. He might have had no other choice and reluctantly picked some of his descendants to participate in the research.

But he divided that ruins into various-sized chunks, each of which was meticulously isolated. This kind of distrustful behavior was in line with Bill George’s personality.

Lin Yun rapidly inferred the purpose of these ruins, but that made him even more puzzled. The name Bill represented a legend, even during the peak of the Magic Era. The period he lived at had remained a mystery, only indistinct information had remained.

There was no such thing as a start or an end. That guy was a complete mystery, but his mastery of puppeteering was terrifying and some of his techniques were ahead of his era.

Like the puppets here. Other techniques might not be worth mentioning, but the battle systems and mechanical systems were far beyond the current era.

Furthermore, the technique to transplant puppets’ ability rune wouldn’t appear even within a few dozen millennia.

Lin Yun frowned. He found some clues, but nothing of value. Bill George had been too careful, the people working here didn’t leave behind any valuable technique, only some meaningless diaries.

The reason why the ruins was abandoned wasn’t even recorded.

They moved on, moving toward the east this time. In that direction were arrays that exceeded the True Spirit Grade, but they weren’t too powerful, they were just troublesome.

Lin Yun had always been researching the Intrepid’s Heaven Grade array. Although that kind of three-dimensional ship-styled array was at the Heaven Grade, it was absolutely a first-rate Heaven Grade array. So far, Lin Yun had only deciphered a very small portion.

But that very small portion was enough for Lin Yun to advance by leaps and bounds in the field of array. Now, he could decipher a True Spirit Grade array with a single glance, and if he spent a bit of time, he had the confidence of deciphering Low Heaven Grade arrays.

By following the map’s directions, they bypassed a large number of arrays and soon arrived at the easternmost part of the ruins. When they arrived before the array, it looked like they were at the end of the ruins, in front of a cliff. The dense fog spreading before them was like an endless void and it made people fearful with a single glance.

Lin Yun looked at this fog, and based on what he could see on the map, his Magic Array started revolving. But his Magic Array appeared powerless and couldn’t completely infer the situation.

As he frowned, Lin Yun summoned the Spell Wheel and started using the power of the Spell Wheel to infer the situation.

The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was most proficient when used for inferring, while the Magic Array was most proficient in endless calculations and data analysis. But the Magic Array was only a Magic Conducting Rune, it couldn’t compare to the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel which was crafted based on the Magic Array.

He would usually use the Magic Array to deal with any problem he encountered as it was just more convenient. And the strength of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel laid outside of battle. It’s just that Lin Yun almost never used the Spell Wheel for its inferring ability.

But now, it looked like Lin Yun had looked down on this array.

The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel rapidly revolved and countless pieces of data and runes burst out, revolving around the Spell Wheel, while data flooded his eyes. After a dozen minutes, Lin Yun rubbed his eyes and the data that had been flowing in his eyes suddenly dissipated.

“Sir Mafa, how is it? Is it very troublesome?”

Laibo couldn’t help himself and asked when he saw that Lin Yun had paused his inferring. Lin Yun had helped them so much before, but they only had to help him break an array. This made Laibo feel very apologetic. Seeing that it was very challenging and that he might not have a chance to help out worried him.

Lin Yun shook his head.

“It’s fine, it’s only slightly troublesome. This array was completely sealed when the previous owner left this place. We can’t go in unless we forcibly open the array.

“Wait a bit, I need to go and probe.”
