The workshop looked empty, and there were only a few puppets that had lost their functions at the entrance. There was nothing special about the workshop as he walked further in.
'But, what's with that intense mana fluctuation …'
Lin Yun's gaze inadvertently fell on an unremarkable puppet lying in an inconspicuous corner. From a distance, that puppet didn't seem special, it was similar to the puppets at the entrance. But Lin Yun could clearly see that the puppet was riddled with scars. There were many sword scars on its body, and there were still residual mana fluctuations.
The puppets at the entrance all had damaged components or didn't have a mana source, but the one lying in the corner was very special. It looked as if it had gone through a difficult battle and was very shabby.
Lin Yun walked to that puppet by himself and crouched down to carefully size it up. He suddenly discovered that this puppet seemed to have existed for a very long time. With Lin Yun's eyesight, he could naturally notice this. Then, Lin Yun examined the puppet's body and found out that the mana circuit connecting it to the mana source had already been forcibly severed. He then familiarly found the location of the mana source.
It was empty, it was clear that the mana source had already been taken away by someone.
Lin Yun shook his head. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly felt an imperceptible mana fluctuation coming from the location of the mana source. In a flash, Lin Yun's expression greatly changed. His body stiffened as he motionlessly looked at the puppet. He could clearly feel the residual mana fluctuations coming from the mana source. It was unfathomably powerful.
"The mana source supporting the puppet's operation is definitely a Level 40 mana crystal …" Lin Yun muttered to himself.
Lin Yun wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. This was definitely a Heaven Puppet. If the mana source hadn't been taken away, then they would have most likely been buried here.
The reason they were besieged by a thousand puppets when they entered the workshop was naturally explained. This was definitely the doing of that puppet. It had changed the program of the puppets in the workshop, and after the Heaven Puppet lost its mana source, those puppets still operated according to the changed program. They were besieged as soon as they approached the workshop.
After examining the Heaven Puppet's components, Lin Yun was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the components were intact, only a small portion had suffered varying degrees of damage.
Lin Yun suddenly recalled the Heaven Puppet he had taken out of Vaughn's laboratory. Lin Yun had always been thinking about that Heaven Puppet. If he dismantled the components of this Heaven Puppet and installed them in his own Heaven Puppet, then he could get a high level mana crystal as a mana source.
As for the missing components, Lin Yun hadn't been worried. In any case, he would inevitably take a trip to the Puppet Plane in the future, so taking some components back wasn't a big problem.
Although the Heaven Puppet's strength wouldn't reach the Heaven Rank after being completely repaired, it would be able to easily deal with level 37 and 38 powerhouses.
If he could smoothly find that thing in the Puppet Plane, Lin Yun was certain that he could make that puppet's strength reach Star Sage Joy's level.
What kind of concept was Joy's level?
That was almost at the peak of the Archmage realm, an existence that had touched upon a wisp of Extraordinary Power.
Throughout Noscent's history, only twenty Heaven Puppets had appeared. It was already very good that Lin Yun could make that puppet's strength approach the Heaven Rank.
Lin Yun wasn't idle, he dismantled the components with ease. The speed at which he dismantled the Heaven Puppet could make any Artisan gasp in amazement. Light sounds kept echoing for a dozen minutes as he dismantled one precious component after another. William, Merlin, Delson, and the others didn't notice his movements as they were fumbling around the huge workshop.
Another core component was dismantled, and just as he was about to dismantle the mechanical system, the Heaven Puppet's body suddenly moved.
Indeed, it moved.
Lin Yun was startled.
'What's going on …'
He then remembered that the Heaven Puppet's mana source was gone, so no matter how strange it was, it couldn't pose a threat to him. Moreover, he had dismantled most of the components of the puppet's body.
After experiencing the end of the magic era, he clearly knew that magic battleships and puppets were nothing more than a pile of scrap metal without the support of mana.
The eyes of the Heaven Puppet suddenly shone. Seeing this, Lin Yun seemed to recall something and turned to look at the opposite wall.
"This is …"
Seeing that scene, Lin Yun was stunned. The recording clearly showed the scene of Charles the Emperor leading the human powerhouses to break the Throne of Life.
This was an unprecedented battle …
The Pentashade Dragons and the pure-blooded elves protected the Throne of Life together as they launched a torrential counterattack against Charles the Emperor and the others. For a time, many of Charles the Emperor's human experts actually died under the fierce attacks.
"The ancestor of the Merlin Family! It really is the ancestor of the Merlin Family … "
Lin Yun recognized the crest of a middle-aged man standing behind Charles the Emperor. That was actually the crest of the Merlin Family. Lin Yun had seen that crest not long ago in the Heaven Enlightening Plane, it was the one his cousin, William Merlin, had obtained.
Lin Yun looked at that crest with shock. The Merlin Family really wasn't as simple as it seemed. If that person was really the ancestor of the Merlin Family, wouldn't that mean that the Merlin Family's history could be traced back to the end of the Nesser Dynasty?
He then discovered that it wasn't just the Chromatic Dragons, Pureblood Elves, and Humans that were participating in this battle. There were also a few Heaven Puppets standing behind Charles the Emperor, and one of them looked somewhat familiar. It seemed to be the one standing next to him.
'This isn't right …'
Lin Yun had many doubts. Although he had only watched the battle for a few seconds, he could see that Charles the Emperor's side had lost many powerhouses and was already at a disadvantage. At this time, let alone breaking the Throne of Life, it would be difficult for them to escape from the siege of the Chromatic Dragons and Elves.
But in Noscent's history, wasn't it Charles the Emperor who broke the Throne of Life and established the 3rd Dynasty?
There was a huge discrepancy between what he knew and what he knew.
At this time, the entire scene suddenly darkened. Lin Yun saw an indescribable black palm extending out of nowhere and covering the entire sky. Those Chromatic Dragons and Elves looked as if they had seen a ghost when they saw that black palm, they were extremely afraid of its existence.
That black palm heavily covered everything, and Lin Yun saw an unforgettable scene. Countless Chromatic Dragons and Elves couldn't resist at all and were instantly annihilated.
The scene reflected on the wall abruptly stopped there.
But the scene of that black palm covering everything was still lingering in Lin Yun's mind. His current mood couldn't be described as shock.
'What kind of power is that?'
Powerful existences like Chromatic Dragons and Elves were killed, and it wasn't just one, but a whole group.
'Does that kind of power really exist in this world?'
That kind of terrifying power simply exceeded the scope of his imagination.
After looking at it for a while, the Heaven Puppet didn't move and was calmly lying in the corner. Lin Yun frowned. That Heaven Puppet had existed for a very long time and had participated in the battle to break the Throne of Life. What puzzled him was how that puppet could appear in the Gaugass King's magic tower.
Moreover, it looked like it had experienced a bitter battle, causing many of its components to be damaged and its mana source to be stolen.
Lin Yun shook his head and didn't think too much about it. He squatted down and wholeheartedly focused on dismantling its components. After about twenty minutes, all the valuable components of the Heaven Puppet had been dismantled.
After doing that, Lin Yun slowly got up and looked around. He found out that Delson and the others were all busy.
This huge alchemy workshop had already been confirmed to be safe. Although one or two damaged puppets would occasionally appear, any one of the ten of them could easily deal with them. Thus, after entering the workshop, they scattered to look for the entrance to the next floor.
Lin Yun released a few Mage Eyes and carefully controlled them while walking around, apparently looking for something in the alchemy workshop.
After a few minutes, Lin Yun found the place he was looking for. It was a very small room, and a dozen puppets that had lost their function were piled up in front of the door. The floor was also covered in a thick layer of dust.
In this group, only Lin Yun knew that an alchemy workshop of this scale usually had a control room, and he was currently in the control room of the entire alchemy workshop.
The control room had long since been ruined beyond recognition, but there were still some traces of the control array.
Lin Yun stood in the narrow control room and couldn't help shaking his head. He had been looking for the control room to see if there were any clues, but it now looked like he had been overthinking it.
At this time, he turned and walked towards the door of the control room. He didn't pay attention to his feet and seemed to have kicked something. He looked down and saw a fist-sized pitch-black thing.
'What is this?'
Lin Yun frowned. The control room was the core of the entire alchemy workshop, so junk shouldn't have been put in there. But that thing on the ground didn't have anything special about it. Based on its shape, it seemed to be a fragment of something.
After a pause, he reached out to pick it up. However, the moment his hand touched the black object, his entire body froze, and he stood there motionlessly …
That thing was too strange …
