But what was the meaning of the Dark Sage's words?
'Is there anyone still alive?
The Dark Sage is too meddlesome. You have already been dead for over ten thousand years, yet you still care about other people's lives? How could you care so much? '
'Moreover, this sentence was a bit senseless. He didn't even ask who was still alive before asking if there was anyone still alive. Who the hell knew who he was asking about?
"Is there anyone still alive?" The Heaven Puppet had already repeated this sentence for the umpteenth time.
"Are you done yet?" Lin Yun cursed in a low voice. He planned to cut off the mana supply, but just as he was about to reach out, he suddenly stiffened.
'Is there anyone still alive … Is there anyone still alive?'
Lin Yun's face suddenly paled.
"Merlin … Merlin …" Solomon had been watching from the side for a long time, but when he saw Lin Yun stiffening, his face suddenly turned deathly pale. He anxiously shouted a few times, but he didn't get a response from Lin Yun. Thus, he promptly raised his voice, "Merlin, what's wrong?"
"Eh, nothing …" Lin Yun was roused by Solomon's voice and subconsciously shook his head. But he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and when he touched it, he found out that it was already soaked in cold sweat.
At this time, Lin Yun suddenly realized that there was still someone alive. This question wasn't because the Dark Sage was asking too much, nor was it because the Dark Sage was asking without rhyme or reason. It was just that the timing wasn't right.
If this sentence had been asked 30,000 years in the future …
Gales, raging flames, sand, meteorites, the destroyed Noscent, the desperate Heiss City, everything he had deliberately forgotten once again appeared in front of Lin Yun's eyes. Lin Yun subconsciously shook his head, wanting to throw it all to the back of his mind, but he found that he couldn't do it.
"Shut up!" Lin Yun roughly cut off the mana supply, and the Heaven Rank Puppet that had been repeating the same sentence suddenly stopped, as if it had been strangled by its neck, and it could no longer make a sound.
But that sentence kept reverberating in Lin Yun's mind …
Was there anyone alive? Was there anyone alive?
Would anyone still be alive in Noscent after 30,000 years?
"Merlin …" Saruman looked at Lin Yun strangely. "Your situation doesn't seem too good …"
"Nothing, I just remembered something."
"Oh right, what's going on with that puppet? Why is it asking the same question over and over again? It even asks if anyone is alive or not, does it have anything to do with it?"
"The one who wants to ask this question should be the creator …"
"There must be something wrong with the creator. What does it have to do with him whether or not anyone is alive …"
"Haha …" Hearing Saruman's complaints, Lin Yun temporarily cast aside the shadow in his heart and started thinking about how to bring this Heaven Rank Puppet back.
This was a Heaven Rank Puppet, and just the Ember Magic Iron used to craft its skeleton could be said to be priceless. A small piece of it could be traded for a dozen spirit mana crystals on the market, and the entire skeleton would be worth over a hundred spirit mana crystals. This was definitely the biggest fortune Lin Yun had obtained after entering Vaughn's laboratory. Not to mention, there was also that half of the Heaven Grade Array.
Although only half of it remained, it was still a Heaven Grade Array. Its research value was simply immeasurable.
Not to mention that Lin Yun couldn't repair it now, but that didn't mean that Lin Yun wouldn't be able to repair it in the future. Lin Yun might also become a Saint Alchemist and reconstruct the seven arrays. At that time, he would be like the Ruler of the Night, with a Heaven Rank powerhouse as his bodyguard.
But how would he bring it back …
Lin Yun's Spatial Ring had been obtained from the Bone Plane's High Mage. It was only at the Inheritance Rank and could be used to store all kinds of ores, books, and components. But storing a Heaven Rank Puppet was a bit ridiculous.
What kind of concept was a Heaven Rank Puppet?
It was a genuine Extraordinary existence. Even if only half of the seven Heaven Grade Arrays remained, it definitely wasn't something an Inheritance Magic Tool could bear. Even if only a small amount of power leaked, it would be enough to burst an Inheritance Rank Spatial Ring!
"Do I have to carry it back?" Lin Yun felt a headache. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. Such a huge fortune was there, yet he was having a headache over how to bring it back.
'It looks like I have to find a way to get a high-grade Spatial Equipment after returning …'
'Carrying it back is definitely something I said out of anger …'
Although Embers Magic Iron wasn't known for its weight, such a large skeleton, along with the various other parts, would definitely weigh more than a grown man. Carrying it all the way back to Thousand Sails City would take quite a while …
'Oh right, there's a way …' Just as Lin Yun was feeling a headache, he suddenly noticed all kinds of components scattered on the ground.
'Right, it doesn't matter if I can't repair it, I can reassemble it myself.
Wouldn't it be fine if I just reassemble a puppet? '
In any case, this Heaven Rank Puppet was already damaged beyond recognition. He could add a few mechanical arms to it and reconstruct the control center and mechanical system. When the time came, he could connect it to the mana source and it would be a completely new puppet. Although it would be far inferior to a Heaven Rank Puppet in terms of power and function, so what? He didn't want a Heaven Rank Puppet, he only wanted it to return to Thousand Sails City in one piece.
That's right, this was the best method at the moment.
Had it been any other time, Lin Yun might have been worried about spare parts, but this was an abandoned warehouse dedicated to piling up scrapped puppets. These miscellaneous spare parts were enough to assemble ten puppets. He only needed to move a bit.
Then, Lin Yun got busy.
Lin Yun was quite experienced in the assembly of puppets. It only took a few minutes for Lin Yun to use the components he had on hand to add two mechanical arms. The puppet still maintained its humanoid shape. Next up was the array.
Normally, Lin Yun should have redrawn the array and constructed a new control center.
But when Lin Yun saw the remaining half of the Heaven Grade Array, an idea appeared in his mind.
'This half of the Heaven Grade Array has many connections that are still intact, why can't I use these connections?
This would be a lot more convenient than reconstructing the control center. '
Thus, Lin Yun changed his previous plan and started researching the half of the Heaven Grade Array, researching how to use those preserved connections. At the same time, his hands didn't stop as he drew one array after another. He then used these connections to connect with the half of the Heaven Grade Array and a complete control center gradually appeared.
In the end, it was still that level 20 mana crystal.
The level 20 mana crystal was embedded in the mana source, and following Lin Yun's control rune, a completely new puppet smoothly started operating.
"But there is no path in front of me, no future, no hope …"
But …
That alchemy puppet, which had just started operating, suddenly spat out a sentence.
"Eh?" Lin Yun was startled.
"Sa … High Mage Solomon, did you hear that?"
"I heard it. What do you mean there is no path in front of me, pretending to be mysterious …"
"Eh …" Lin Yun couldn't be as calm as Solomon, because Lin Yun knew who the true creator of this puppet was. That was the greatest puppeteer since ancient times, Charles the Emperor's teacher, the gravedigger of the Silver Era, the Dark Sage Igor. Even if this kind of person was pretending to be mysterious, people would have no choice but to pay attention to him.
Moreover, this sentence made Lin Yun realize that the Dark Sage's words weren't just "Is there anyone alive?" or "There is no path in front of me". The Dark Sage might have left behind a lot of words, but because the Heaven Rank Puppet had been seriously damaged, he could only hear the first sentence at first. Later, he accidentally used the connection of the array and heard the second sentence.
But what was more?
What did the Dark Sage want to say?
Lin Yun couldn't figure it out.
Lin Yun could only faintly feel that the Dark Sage wanted to say something very important.
Unfortunately, now wasn't the time to study this. After thinking about it, Lin Yun cut off the mana supply once again and then cut off half of the Heaven Rank Array's connection. He spent about ten minutes reconstructing the control center and the mechanical system to ensure that the new puppet was no longer related to the previous Heaven Rank Puppet.
After doing that, Lin Yun restarted the puppet.
Sure enough, the puppet didn't say anything this time, there was no path in front of him.
It only obediently followed Lin Yun's control runes and followed behind Lin Yun and Solomon. They walked along the Magic Iron Forge and soon met up with Fran and Suyass.
When he saw the two of them, Fran clearly looked a bit more confident, and his gaze was no longer evasive. Lin Yun knew that this was because of the Crystal Scales.
After obtaining the Crystal Scales, Fran was confident that he had the power to crush the two of them. The huge psychological advantage made him seem like a completely different person.
'You won't be able to smile in a bit …' Lin Yun pretended not to see it, but he inwardly muttered, 'Fran is too naive in the end. He dares to sign any contract and doesn't even go out and ask around to see how evil the Crystal Scales are.'
