Lin Yun didn't care about these matters after leaving the Gilded Rose. People like Layford simply didn't have the energy to care about them. Moreover, there was no need.
The Gilded Rose had opened in the Odin Kingdom, and it was in the most flourishing area of Neverwinter City, where the Starry Sky College was located. They had opened eighteen shops in a row, and with the benefits of being tied to the Gilded Rose's warship, Lin Yun wasn't without foundation in the Odin Kingdom. Anyone could step on him.
After obtaining the materials, Lin Yun couldn't wait any longer, because he already had enough conditions to make the patched puppet recover to the Heaven Rank. Yes, recover to the Heaven Rank, the patched puppet itself was a Heaven Rank Puppet.
It's just that the patched puppet's components had been damaged and its energy system had been damaged. Moreover, it had been silent for a long time and had decayed over time. Because of this, its strength had fallen below the Heaven Rank and many of its systems couldn't display their original abilities.
He had previously followed Gandaph to the Puppet Plane and obtained two complete Heaven Puppets. Moreover, there were many important internal components that could be exchanged for patched puppets with a bit of modification. Moreover, he had prepared the best of the precious materials, the best of the same kind.
He could absolutely guarantee that the patched puppet would recover to the Heaven Rank and greatly increase its strength. But most importantly, what Lin Yun fancied wasn't the patched puppet's fighting power, but the other things it contained.
When he obtained this patched puppet, its words almost scared Lin Yun to death. The patched puppet definitely had a secret that Lin Yun urgently wanted to know. Lin Yun felt a bit horrified as he recalled the words "Is there anyone alive?"
The most important clue to the truth behind Noscent's apocalypse might lie in the patched puppet's body.
How could Lin Yun not be anxious now that he had the conditions?
After returning to the laboratory, Lin Yun set up three layers of defenses and thoroughly sealed the area before entering the Demiplane.
The Demiplane's development was flourishing with each passing day. The increase caused by the truth runes had more or less stabilized, and the mana consumption kept decreasing. The surface of the mana lake had also started recovering, but it was still less than a tenth of its peak state.
But this 10% of Mana Water could completely replenish Lin Yun's mana over ten thousand times!
The fearsomeness of the Natural Demiplane was now on full display. With Lin Yun's mana consumption speed, the Natural Demiplane would split and multiply once again. The Mana Vines were already tearing at Lin Yun's mana, ensuring that he would never run out of mana.
After entering the Demiplane, Lin Yun went to check on Reina and Xiuban. The two of them had already fallen asleep. Xiuban was wrapped in a blood-red cocoon that was continuously throbbing like a heart. Several kinds of Draconic auras were continuously emitting from it, and there was even the aura of a God flowing at the top.
Once Xiuban woke up and broke out of the cocoon, he would thoroughly fuse with the power of those bloodlines and truly become a Heaven Rank powerhouse.
On the other side, Reina was staying in the northernmost part of the Demiplane, in the depths of the sea that had already turned into an ice field. The temperature there was the coldest part of the Demiplane. Reina had returned to her original form and no longer looked like an ordinary Frost Dragon. Her figure looked even more graceful and powerful, and her aura was completely different. She would also advance to the Heaven Rank when she woke up.
Lin Yun observed for a bit and saw that the two Ancestor Souls were obediently taking care of the Three-Eyed Wolf, and the small wolf was growing at a rapid pace. It was already a few times bigger than it was at the start.
Thinking of the Three-Eyed Wolf's ability, Lin Yun felt that it was about time to take the small wolf out. Moreover, it wouldn't be long before the small wolf was needed to carry out his next plan.
After walking around, Lin Yun entered the huge alchemy laboratory in the Demiplane. This was Lin Yun's personal alchemy laboratory. It was also personally built by Lin Yun. It was the most perfect alchemy laboratory that far surpassed the limits of what the alchemists of this era could build. It had many functions and many alchemy tools that didn't exist in this era. Lin Yun had spent a lot of effort to barely make them.
After entering the alchemy laboratory, Lin Yun immediately took out the bodies of the two Heaven Puppets. Oh, it was all the components of the two Heaven Puppets.
The materials he had obtained from Faleau were also taken out. The first step was to first process all the materials and form them into materials that could be used directly. The subsequent processing would depend on the situation. Different effects and the same materials might require different processing methods.
He took out all the components that could be used for the patched puppet and modified them first. Although they could be used directly, they would need to be modified if they wanted a perfect fit.
The modification speed was very fast. In less than three hours, all the usable components had been modified. Only the components that needed to be manufactured were left.
Using the mysteries he had obtained from studying the truth runes, Lin Yun's way of thinking had changed and his manufacturing speed had increased by several times. After a day, all the components had been manufactured and only the patched puppet's equipment was left.
The energy system had been replaced with the heart energy and the mana reactor of the previous level 43 Heaven Puppet had been remodeled. A large amount of new designs had been added, and the mana generated by this mana reactor definitely far exceeded the patched puppet's needs. This also meant that the patched puppet's burst of mana would become very powerful. Moreover, this newly designed mana reactor was enough for the patched puppet to use until it reached Level 45 without needing to be replaced.
In addition to the ability runes he had previously obtained, he also used the ability rune transplant method to transplant a first-rate Lightning Speed Rune, an Elemental Strengthening Rune, and a Defense Strengthening Rune into the patched puppet.
Unfortunately, with Lin Yun's current ability, transplanting three ability runes was his limit. Otherwise, with the patched puppet's bearing capacity, he would be able to transplant five ability runes.
After all, even among the Heaven Puppets of the Cybertan Race, only some first-rate Puppet Monarchs could have two ability runes.
Even puppets that could transplant on their own had never been able to transplant two ability runes on their own.
After carrying the Lightning Speed Rune, the puppet's mechanical system was modified to make the puppet more suited for melee combat. As for its weapon, it was the laser sword Lin Yun had researched. It relied on a huge burst of mana to compress and condense into a laser with terrifying cutting ability. It could be put away when it wasn't used and didn't take up any space. As long as it was used, an ordinary Heaven Mage's Fusion Shield would be torn apart in an instant with the help of the Lightning Speed Rune.
As for the Elemental Strengthening Rune, it corresponded to a new weapon. It had two Firebolts and two Frost Bolts, as well as a Radiant Bolt weapon system.
Finally, the Defense Strengthening Rune could fuse with the puppet's outer shell that Lin Yun had made with the new material. All attacks would be distributed to every part of the puppet's body, which would undoubtedly strengthen the puppet's defensive abilities.
But after designing it, Lin Yun frowned. This Heaven Puppet was a humanoid puppet commonly seen in Noscent, but it wasn't that common in the Puppet Plane. In terms of fighting ability, humanoid puppets couldn't compare to other puppets.
It couldn't compare to spider-shaped puppets in terms of agility and speed, it couldn't compare to insect-shaped puppets in terms of defensive ability, and it couldn't compare to some special forms in terms of offensive ability. This was an innate flaw. The only good thing was that humanoid puppets were more balanced. They didn't have any areas that were particularly strong, nor did they have any areas that were particularly weak.
But puppets only needed one area to be particularly strong to affect the outcome of a battle.
The patched puppet's energy system was very powerful, and its weapon system was also very powerful, but its defensive abilities were somewhat weak. Even if it had been transplanted with an ability rune, it was still a lot weaker than other aspects.
The puppet's weapon system, even if it was casting, was still the strongest in close combat. After all, ray weapons were powerful, but the farther away they were, the lower the efficiency would be. In a battle between Heaven Rank powerhouses, it would be very difficult to hit a Heaven Rank powerhouse if they were more than a hundred meters away.
In order to close the distance, it would need powerful defensive abilities.
After making a few designs, Lin Yun was still unsatisfied. But suddenly, Lin Yun froze and took out the box with that black substance sealed within it.
Looking at the box, Lin Yun suddenly had an idea. Although that black substance had the ability to continuously devour mana and wasn't picky about what it ate, Lin Yun suddenly remembered that Gandaph had found it in a Heaven Puppet's body.
If that black substance couldn't be restrained and kept devouring mana, it might completely devour the puppet's mana. Even if there was a mana reactor to continuously generate mana, it might not necessarily be able to do so. Or would it be better to say that when the devouring ability wasn't enough, it would only occupy a part of the puppet's energy?
'Why not add that black substance to the puppet's body and design a new system framework to add a new system to the puppet, the devouring system!'
The puppet would have a defensive rune, and any attack on any part of its body would be dispersed to every corner of its body. That way, even a fatal attack would be dispersed into many parts, allowing it to endure it.
But if it was a large-scale spell attack, the spell itself would be able to cover the puppet's body and weaken the effect of the defensive rune.
But if a new devouring system was created, all the spells the puppet received would be dispersed and guided into that black substance. The puppet's defensive abilities would be a lot stronger.
In addition, the black substance's mana devouring ability could be used to attack. In melee combat, it could continuously devour the enemy's mana. Not only could it weaken the enemy, but it could also put a terrifying psychological pressure on the enemy. Any mage would be terrified to see their mana being devoured.
With this idea in mind, Lin Yun immediately started designing. He first emptied out a small area in the puppet's body and then used obsidian mixed with a few kinds of mana repelling materials to create an outer shell before putting the black substance inside. Then, through a design, he connected a dozen channels to the core of the devouring system.
These channels were linked to the surface of the puppet's body and would only open when the puppet was under a spell attack or when it was attacking an enemy in close combat.
That way, the black substance wouldn't devour the puppet's own mana, it would only devour the enemy's mana or the mana of the spells it suffered.
After a day, the design, manufacturing, and assembly were all completed. The patched puppet's appearance had greatly changed, from inside to outside. It looked as if it was covered in a layer of mercury, and that layer of silver was continuously roaming. This was caused by the power of the defensive rune.
Its body looked more like a melee puppet. Its key parts were relatively thick, but its body was slender, which was conducive to burst speed.
Moreover, the weapon system was completely hidden. Unless it was used, it would be impossible to detect the puppet's weapon system in advance.
Lin Yun stood in front of the puppet and looked at his masterpiece. He took a deep breath and restarted the puppet.
After a second, the puppet's dark crystal eyes suddenly emitted a crimson radiance and mana surged, almost bursting out of its body. The three ability runes simultaneously activated to calm the berserk mana. These three ability runes consumed a large amount of mana. Without these three ability runes, the patched puppet simply wouldn't be able to withstand such a powerful mana reactor.
The puppet looked at Lin Yun, its crimson crystal eyes flickering with light. It then knelt on one knee and placed its right hand on its chest, just like a Knight paying an audience with a monarch.
"Respected Master, Pabiete obeys your will. Wherever your blade points, it is an enemy."
A calm voice came out of Pabiete's tightly shut mouth. He then calmly knelt on one knee like a statue.
Pleasant surprise flashed in Lin Yun's eyes and he sighed in relief. Since this puppet remembered its name, it meant that its wisdom had already recovered. It was no longer an ice- cold lump of iron that would only listen to orders. Similarly, its memory should have already recovered, and many things should have been restored.
"Pabiete, get up. Do you still remember your past?"
Lin Yun took the initiative to ask about Pabiete's past, but Pabiete seemed to be at a loss after standing up, as if he didn't know what Lin Yun was asking about.
"Pabiete, I'm asking about what happened before you reawakened your wisdom. How much do you remember?"
Pabiete's tone was still emotionless as he answered in a monotonous manner.
"Respected Master, your most loyal Knight, I only remember that you granted me life and allowed me to open my eyes to see this world. From the first time I opened my eyes and saw you, Pabiete remembers everything."
Lin Yun frowned.
"I'm talking about the past. Do you still remember the Dark Sage? Do you still remember the disaster? "
Pabiete shook his head.
"Respected Master, Pabiete doesn't understand what you are saying."
Lin Yun was thoroughly disappointed. Although Pabiete regained his wisdom, he didn't seem to remember anything. He only remembered what happened after Lin Yun made him recover his mana. This shouldn't be possible, or it could be said that it was impossible.
Since he had remembered his own name, how could he have forgotten everything that had happened in the past? He had not even heard of the Dark Sage.
After opening the back of Pabiete's head and seeing Pabiete's memory system, Lin Yun instantly understood.
The unimportant things had been replaced, especially the mana reactor. Only the memory system hadn't been touched by Lin Yun. In order to ensure that the memory system wouldn't be damaged, Pabiete's head was always the strongest defense, especially around the memory system.
The puppet's memories were stored there, but the awakened wisdom of a puppet was like a miracle of life. It didn't seem to change much, but the slight change gave birth to the flames of life. That was the source of the puppet's life, or rather, the source of its wisdom.
Under normal circumstances, the power of a Heaven Puppet's memory system was linked to all other systems, and there would be completely different changes. Awakening wisdom and not awakening wisdom were completely different. This was also the reason why Lin Yun couldn't understand the contents of Pabiete's memory system. Because only after awakening wisdom could the memory system be called Pabiete's memory system.
And if it hadn't awakened wisdom, the memory system would only be the patched puppet's memory system. This was a huge difference.
But now that he saw the appearance of the memory system, Lin Yun frowned. Almost 90% of the memory system had recovered. In other words, Pabiete's memories hadn't been lost, but they were sealed by a strange power.
Runes that kept changing shapes invaded more than ninety percent of the memory system. The memories stored in these places were all sealed.
Lin Yun roused his Magic Array to break those runic seals, but he found out that the Magic Array's speed couldn't keep up with the speed of the runes' transformation. The time it took for the runes to flicker wasn't enough to capture the entire rune's information.
Even if he used the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, it was still the same. Several thousand runes flew out of the memory system, but every rune would transform once every second. After combining together, the seal's transformations were endless.
Lin Yun was thoroughly stunned. This kind of sealing method was too familiar. It didn't look like there was much skill involved, but in fact, there wasn't much skill involved in each transformation. Lin Yun could guarantee that with his current skill, he would be able to crack it within three minutes at most.
But there were too many combinations, to the point that they couldn't be calculated. This was the most common sealing method used in some crucial areas during Noscent's peak.
