In the next few days, Lin Yun never left the living quarters, and he finally finished the design for the remaining part.
As for the Crimson Flame Essence, it had been smelted a few days ago and had already been transported to the camp. Now, Lin Yun had to make the components.
Because he had already thought of the design in advance, it saved him a lot of trouble and effort. But even so, it still took a lot of Lin Yun's time.
But Lin Yun, who was busy making the components, didn't know that the Watson Family had made another move. It all started three days ago.
After Arthus fled in a sorry state, Rhett still didn't dare to believe that there was a Dragon in the Merlin Family's camp, so he cautiously approached the Merlin Family's camp. He didn't dare to get too close at first, but he slowly relaxed his vigilance. After a few days of observation, he concluded that there was no Dragon in the camp.
After confirming this, Rhett hurriedly looked for Arthus.
"Sir Arthus, last time might have been an accident. The Frost Dragon you mentioned didn't exist in the Merlin Family's camp. I've been observing for three days, there's no way I'm wrong …" Rhett looked at Arthus with a smile. "Maybe that Dragon was just passing by …"
"Really?" Arthus didn't dare to believe it. He had already been traumatized by that terrifying Dragon.
In fact, after thinking about it for the past few days, he had some doubts in his heart.
The appearance of the Frost Dragon was truly strange.
There had been no warning at all.
And more importantly, how could such a powerful Frost Dragon be willing to stay with the Merlin Family?
Perhaps it could only be explained as passing by …
"Then, Sir Arthus, should we probe it again?"
"I'm afraid it's not possible now …" Arthus awkwardly looked at Rhett and softly shook his head. He didn't want to rashly probe it, it was too dangerous. If the Frost Dragon appeared again, he might not be able to return alive.
After thinking about it, Arthus looked at Rhett with a serious expression and bitterly smiled. "Sir Rhett, you might not know, but after being seriously injured by the Frost Dragon, my strength has yet to recover and I can't use the power of my Demonic Form. I should be able to recover in about ten days …"
Although the damage to his strength would definitely affect him, it was definitely not as serious as he said.
He really didn't dare to act rashly now …
He could only delay the matter of probing the Merlin Family's camp until he confirmed that the Frost Dragon really didn't exist.
"Alright, rest well …" Rhett had a regretful expression. He could naturally tell that Arthus' words were just excuses, but he knew that he couldn't do anything about it, he couldn't force Arthus.
"Alright …"
After saying goodbye to Rhett, Arthus didn't return to his living quarters. Instead, he left the Watson Family's camp and rushed towards the Merlin Family's camp. He stopped two kilometers away from the camp and hid in a secluded corner, secretly observing the entire camp.
In the next few days, a few resource collection teams entered and left the camp, and the Planar Legion also trained on time every day. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, but as the Commander, Lin Yun never showed his face.
Because Lin Yun was busy with the alchemy puppet.
Under his instructions, Lahn Merlin had already transported that batch of Crimson Flame Gold Essence to the camp, and within five days, Lin Yun had finished crafting three components.
"Now, only the assembly is left …"
After testing the 3rd component a few times and confirming that there were no problems, Lin Yun took a deep breath and put the exquisite component back on the refining table.
Lin Yun couldn't help bitterly smiling as he looked at the three thumb-sized components neatly arranged on the refining table. From the design to the completion of the components, Lin Yun had spent close to twenty days. He had even made a few careless mistakes during the crafting process, leading to some deviations. In the end, he could only abandon these three thumb-sized components, which cost him two fist-sized pieces of Crimson Flame Gold Essence.
Two fist-sized pieces of Crimson Flame Gold Essence could compare to a Star Gem.
But …
In Lin Yun's eyes, it was worth it.
Even though they were only three small components, the effects that they could bring out were enormous.
Moreover, this was probably the limit of his alchemy skills.
After all, this was a Heaven Rank Puppet.
It could be said that every component, every array, every mana circuit of the Heaven Rank Puppet came from the hands of a Saint Alchemist. Lin Yun being able to craft components suitable for a Heaven Rank Puppet at the Artisan realm was already something worth boasting about.
If it had been any other Artisan, they might not have even had the courage to try and would have directly given up.
The domain of the Saint Alchemist realm was practically blank to an Artisan.
And the reason Lin Yun was able to reach this step was thanks to his accumulation of alchemy knowledge, as well as his twenty years of living at the end of the magic era. He had repeatedly dismantled alchemy puppets, so he was very familiar with every structure and principle.
It could only be said that this was the domain he was proficient in.
Soon, the exhausted Lin Yun entered a meditative state. After about five hours, he slowly opened his eyes and the spatial pocket on his right flashed with a silver light as the Heaven Rank Puppet rushed out. Lin Yun skillfully cut off the mana source and the Heaven Rank Puppet stopped operating, standing there motionlessly.
"Mechanical system …" Lin Yun had a solemn expression as he frowned. He groped around the Heaven Rank Puppet's body and quickly found the mechanical system.
To be more precise, the three components he crafted belonged to the mechanical system category.
In fact, in the Merlin Family Manor, Lin Yun had already discovered that among the core systems of the Heaven Rank Puppet, the mechanical system was the most seriously damaged. It was also because of this that the Heaven Rank Puppet's performance was greatly weakened and it was still stuck at level 35.
If there was a problem with the mechanical system of a puppet, no matter how powerful its combat system was, it would be useless. In some sense, the importance of the mechanical system was even greater than the combat system. It was as important as the Mana Whirlpool within a mage's body, and the mana source was equivalent to the mana within the Mana Whirlpool. After going through a series of operations of the mechanical system, the mana could be supplied to the Heaven Rank Puppet.
Before Lin Yun became an Artisan, he had even thought about replacing the Heaven Rank Puppet with a rare magic material from the Abyss, Lava Crystal. But after carefully thinking about it, he gave up on that idea, because this Heaven Rank Puppet came from the greatest alchemist in history, the Dark Sage. Even a first-rate mechanical system made of Lava Crystal would have a hard time moving this Heaven Rank Puppet.
But after Lin Yun became an Artisan, these problems were easily solved. The three components he crafted could be used to increase the mechanical system's performance by at least three ranks. Although it wouldn't be as powerful as when it was in perfect condition, it would be more or less restored.
He was even somewhat looking forward to it.
He was looking forward to the strength of the Heaven Rank Puppet reaching a completely new height.
At that time, the Heaven Rank Puppet wouldn't be frozen by him and would be able to display a great effect.
"Hmm? What is this … "
Just as Lin Yun finished disassembling the mechanical system, rows of precise components appeared in his line of sight, and in a corner, he found a fingernail-sized piece of metal. He softly used his fingers to pick it up.
In the entire mechanical system, that piece of metal was clearly superfluous and didn't have any use. But under Lin Yun's careful observation, he noticed that the piece of metal was covered in strange patterns.
'What's going on …'
Lin Yun was filled with doubts. 'What is this superfluous piece of metal doing in the mechanical system? It's completely meaningless … '
But when he thought of how this Heaven Rank Puppet came from the hands of the Dark Sage, Lin Yun became even more doubtful. 'Could it be that I can't understand the Dark Sage's intentions with my alchemy knowledge?
But that's not right … '
With Lin Yun's insight as an Artisan, he could naturally see that this piece of metal had only gone through simple alchemy processing. The fluctuations emitted from it were very weak and didn't seem like a component that could display a huge effect.
'Maybe the patterns on that piece of metal are the breakthrough point …'
Lin Yun then put aside the matter of assembling the component and focused on studying that thin piece of metal. At first, Lin Yun used alchemy reagents to analyze it, wanting to see if it was some special Gold Essence. But Lin Yun soon gave up on that idea. He repeatedly used a dozen kinds of reagents, but the conclusion he got was the same. That piece of metal was only ordinary Gold Essence.
This made Lin Yun feel conflicted once again.
Ordinary Gold Essence might be considered a pretty good magic metal for ordinary mages, but after reaching the Master Alchemist realm or even the Artisan realm, whether it was crafting Magic Tools or puppets, they wouldn't use ordinary Gold Essence because the capacity of that magic metal couldn't satisfy them. If they wanted to craft powerful items, they had to use special Gold Essence, just like the Crimson Flame Gold Essence that Lin Yun had obtained.
But, Crimson Flame Gold Essence was already considered a top-notch special Gold Essence.
As for the Carnage that Lin Yun crafted, it was a special case. Although he used ordinary Gold Essence, he used technology that didn't belong to this era to make Carnage reach the peak of Spiritual Detection.
What puzzled Lin Yun was that a piece of metal made of ordinary Gold Essence would appear in the mechanical system.
