"Puppets!" Solomon's expression suddenly turned bitter.
Solomon had originally thought that the Frost Ray was most likely a trap and had been thinking about how to break it. But with just a glance, Solomon knew that this was a lot more troublesome than a trap.
Frost Ray was a 6th Tier Spell …
The two puppets enchanted with 6th Tier Spells weren't much worse than a 9th Rank High Mage's.
'Worthy of a Heaven Mage's work …'
At this time, Solomon couldn't help inwardly admiring them. Only these existences that had stepped into the Extraordinary Realm could casually enchant a 6th Tier Spell on two puppets, not taking it seriously.
After all, enchantments came at the cost of runes. A 6th Tier Spell like Frost Ray required several hundred runes. Apart from Lin Yun, who had several tens of thousands of runes, only existences that had stepped into the Extraordinary realm would invest so much in two puppets.
"And it's a Spell Breaker model …" The worst part was that Lin Yun was in charge of explaining it to him.
"…" Hearing this, Solomon started sweating. 'Damn, enchanted Frost Ray isn't enough, it's actually a Spell Breaker model?'
Spell Breaker Puppets were true mages killer. Their magic resistance was so high that it made one's hair stand on end. Low Tier Spells were like tickles to them. Moreover, their enchanted spells would inevitably have Mana Burn. That spell was very disgusting. Once hit, the caster's mana would instantly burn, making any mage feel as if they were better off dead than alive.
At this time, Solomon didn't dare to act blindly without thinking.
Two puppets enchanted with 6th Tier Spells, and they were the most disgusting Spell Breaker models. This already exceeded the scope of Solomon's abilities. With Solomon's current strength as a 9th Rank High Mage, he could handle one of these puppets, but if he had to face two at the same time, Solomon felt that his chances wouldn't surpass 30% at most.
"Merlin, I'm afraid we're in trouble this time …" Saruman's face was like a bitter gourd.
"Yes, it is a bit troublesome …" Lin Yun nodded in agreement. This was a bit troublesome. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have given that spatial ring to William and Faleau in the Bone Plane.
At that time, he had thought that they would be leading a group of mages to fight in the Bone Plane and needed this Spatial Magic Tool to store Soul Essences. But he hadn't expected that he would come to Oddrock City to participate in the Magic Hand's gathering and enter a Demiplane, let alone encounter such a powerful puppet.
What to do …
He couldn't bring these two puppets back!
Could it be that he had to tear it down? What a waste …
At this time, Lin Yun's face was like a bitter gourd …
"This is Rudolph's library …" Solomon had one foot outside the door, but he didn't dare to step in, because he knew that if he did, the two puppets would immediately attack. But Solomon was also reluctant to give up. Just like he said, this was Rudolph's library, the knowledge inside was enough to raise the magic standards of the Sage Tower to a whole new level!
"Merlin, do you think we should risk it? You see, one of these two puppets, one for you, one for me, no, no, you don't need to take too much risk, as long as you can stall one of them, I'll come back to support you once I deal with the other one. How about it? "
Solomon said a lot in one breath, but Lin Yun was stunned when he heard it. "What do you mean fight it out? Are you talking about these two puppets? "
"Yes, yes, yes, these two puppets. I know that letting a 5th Rank Great Mage like you face puppets of this level is a bit difficult for you, but just do me a favor. It won't take long, as long as you can help me stall for twenty minutes … Twenty minutes, hey … Wait, what are you doing!"
Solomon didn't have time to finish his words when his eyes suddenly widened.
Because he suddenly saw the young Great Mage he had been trying to convince giving him a strange smile before directly entering the library.
"What the hell!" Solomon immediately cursed out loud …
'That's right, I really want Merlin to make a move, but there's no need to make a move so quickly, right? 'That's a puppet enchanted with at least a 6th Tier Spell, and it's the most disgusting Spell Breaker model. If you rush in without any preparation, what if something happens to you?
'No good, no good, I have to immediately think of a way to support Merlin …
'Forget it, I can't think too much about it. If I'm unprepared, then so be it …'
Solomon chanted a few incantations and cast a few Low Tier Spells on himself. He then activated his Runic Shield and rushed into the library.
"Hmm?"
Then, that 9th Rank High Mage froze, his expression changing from sluggish to doubtful, from doubtful to alarmed. At that moment, Solomon felt as if he was looking at a mouse shaking hands with a cat, almost having a heart attack.
The two puppets had already fallen to the ground, and the young Great Mage was using one of his feet to step on one of the puppets, doing his best to dismantle its components.
Moreover, he was being picky as he said, "Fuck, this is too heavy, I can't bring it back …"
"Merlin … Merlin?" Saruman looked at this strange scene as if he had really seen a ghost. His face was frighteningly pale, and even when he spoke, his voice sounded a little stuttering …
"Eh, what's wrong?"
"You, you, you … How did you do it?"
"I turned off their mechanical systems."
"…" Solomon almost spat out blood. 'Isn't the existence of an alchemist a bit too unbalanced? "When I faced two alchemy puppets, my brain almost exploded, but I still couldn't come up with an idea. In the end, I had to close my eyes and muster up the courage to rush in. In the end, I ended up in the hands of an alchemist. With two clicks, I shut down their mechanical systems!
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to take a look?" Lin Yun wiped the sweat off his forehead as he casually asked Solomon.
"Right, right, right, I'll go take a look first …" Solomon recovered from his daze after being reminded by Lin Yun. At this time, he couldn't care less about how their mechanical systems had been turned off. He hurriedly ran to the rows of bookshelves and started picking his spoils of war.
After reminding Solomon, Lin Yun kept busy.
To Lin Yun, the magic books in the library didn't have much meaning. Even if he needed them, he could borrow them from Solomon and copy them later.
What was truly important were the two puppets on the ground.
The skeletons made of Runic Magic Iron definitely couldn't be taken away …
This was a huge loss. Runic Magic Iron was a very rare magic metal, and the entire Andalusia Kingdom's annual production wasn't enough to make ten puppets. This was also one of the reasons why Spell Breaker puppets were so rare. Among the major forces of the Andalusia Kingdom, the ones with Spell Breaker puppets usually had a plane that produced Runic Magic Iron.
Fortunately, the mechanical systems could still be dismantled …
This mechanical system was worth learning from. Lin Yun planned to take it back and have someone in the alchemy workshop imitate it to see if it could be used on a mining puppet.
A few arrays could be dismantled, but the problem was that these arrays were useless to Lin Yun. They all increased magic resistance, and as long as he had enough materials, Lin Yun could draw a few dozen of them at any time.
All that was left were four mechanical arms.
These four mechanical arms each had a Frost Ray enchanted on them. As long as there was enough mana, they could form a crossfire defense system. It would be perfect for the camp in the Bone Plane.
"Merlin … Merlin, come take a look, take a look at what I found …" Just as Lin Yun finished dismantling the second puppet, Solomon suddenly shouted.
"What did you find?"
"Take a look …"
Solomon handed over a black book, and the first thing that entered Lin Yun's eyes was the golden words – Mana Vine Breeding –.
"Mana Vine, Merlin, Mana Vine …" Solomon stared at that black book, his old face twitching from smiling.
"Yes, Mana Vine …" Lin Yun casually flipped through a few pages. This black book was indeed explaining how to breed Mana Vines. It looked like Rudolph really attached great importance to this Demiplane. Even before the four elements had stabilized, he had already started collecting knowledge on Mana Vines.
Mana Vines were a very mysterious plant. Before they became extinct, almost every mage wanted to cultivate some of them. This was because Mana Vines could automatically absorb mana from the void. The harsher the environment of the void, the more mana it could absorb.
Moreover, after they absorbed the mana in the void, they would automatically transform and purify it. Eventually, they would form a mana pool under the Mana Vines and store all the mana there.
This alone determined that the value of the Mana Vines was simply immeasurable. Think about it, if there were a few Mana Vines in a tower that absorbed mana from the void day and night, then transformed and purified it into a mana pool, it would simply be an inexhaustible mana source.
Unfortunately, the environment for Mana Vines to grow was very harsh, harsh to the point that it was almost impossible for them to survive in Noscent. No Mana Vines had appeared in Noscent over a millennium ago.
But from this, it could be seen that Rudolph's Demiplane was most likely a naturally formed Demiplane.
Because only in a naturally formed Demiplane would Mana Vines have a chance to survive.
But it looked like Rudolph hadn't found the Mana Vine Seed, or else this Demiplane wouldn't be in this half-dead state. Just the Mana Vine's steady supply of mana would allow this Demiplane to no longer rely on the Ash Tower. The array outside simply didn't need to exist.
Naturally, Rudolph's inability to find the Mana Vine Seed didn't mean that Lin Yun couldn't either.
In fact, Lin Yun clearly remembered that there was a Mana Vine Seed in the plane the Dusk Fire could open. When Noscent's mana was exhausted, a few Heaven Mages joined hands to charge into that plane and snatch that Mana Vine Seed. Unfortunately, that seed didn't survive in Noscent.
"Lend it to me for a copy later."
"Okay." Solomon straightforwardly agreed. Although a magic book like – Mana Vine Breeding – was precious, it didn't have much significance to the Sage Tower. At most, it could be used as a reference to the breeding method and see if it could breed other magic plants.
"Eh, what is this …" After returning – Mana Vine Breeding – to Solomon, Lin Yun was about to continue dismantling the two puppets when a red book on the bookshelf attracted Lin Yun's attention.
That was – Elemental Spirit Capture Essentials …
