"Which two?" Rhett didn't react for a while, but when he saw the fear on Arthus' face, his expression suddenly changed. "Let's go … Let's go, we'll come back when Mafa Merlin is free …"
It didn't take long for Rhett and Arthus to leave.
In fact, Lin Yun really had something important to do at this time. His energy was focused on that beating heart and he didn't even know that Rhett and Arthus had come.
That heart belonged to the Hydra he had met during the day.
Not long ago, he had a bold idea, and that was to implant the Hydra's heart into the Heaven Puppet. It had to be said that even he was startled by this idea, it was simply crazy.
Yes, it was indeed crazy.
Even the mages of the peak of the Magic Era would be startled by this idea, because no one had ever tried it before.
But a Hydra's heart was truly a good thing.
In Noscent, there was a legend that had been passed down since ancient times. It was said that a Hydra's heart had boundless mana and could make a person infinitely powerful and immortal.
Naturally, Lin Yun didn't believe that it was true, it was only a legend.
He had actually heard of someone eating a Hydra's heart in history. There were definitely benefits, but it wasn't as exaggerated as the legend. One thing was certain, a Hydra was different from other magic beasts, their power was concentrated in their heart, not their mana crystal.
What Lin Yun wanted to do was replace the Heaven Puppet's mechanical system with that heart. If he succeeded, he would obtain incomparable benefits. The Heaven Puppet would inherit the Hydra's power and innate spells.
That would push the Heaven Puppet's strength to a whole new level!
Although he clearly understood that this method was crazy and very risky, he couldn't help wanting to give it a try after having that idea.
He might not have had this kind of idea before.
But now, he had bestowed life to the Doom Staff and his alchemy had already reached the Artisan realm. He felt that he was already qualified to experiment with the Heaven Puppet.
In fact, not long after he became an Artisan, his alchemy had undergone a qualitative change and he suddenly discovered that the Heaven Puppet wasn't as simple as he had imagined. From his perspective as an Artisan, this wasn't an ordinary Heaven Puppet.
What was certain was that this Heaven Puppet wasn't ordinary. At its peak, it was at least a 5th Rank Heaven Puppet, a High Rank Heaven Puppet.
This was truly inconceivable …
After discovering this, Lin Yun had many conjectures. This Heaven Puppet seemed to have played a very important role in the civil war in the Four Seasons Canyon. It even made Lin Yun suspect that this Heaven Puppet had already broken through the limits of puppets.
That puppet from the hands of the Dark Sage had most likely reached the peak of puppeteering. In all of Noscent's history, that Heaven Rank Puppet might be the most powerful one!
Thus, Lin Yun was especially attentive to the matter of repairing the Heaven Puppet. In fact, even if there were no other factors, he would still be like this. After all, this puppet was hiding clues to a huge secret waiting for him to uncover.
Moreover, if not for the important information leaked by this Heaven Puppet, Lin Yun might not have paid attention to the end of the Wailing River, let alone know about the clues to Ancient God Constance.
This time, he had a crazy idea. He planned to replace the mechanical system with the Hydra's heart. After calming down, he realized how difficult this matter would be.
No one had ever tried this in the field of puppeteering.
This was bound to be very difficult.
Although he was already an Artisan, he only felt that he was qualified to try it, he didn't feel that he had enough ability to succeed.
Whether he would succeed or not was hard to say.
Perhaps only existences standing at the peak of alchemy would dare to say that they would succeed.
After all, Lin Yun came from 30,000 years in the future and controlled knowledge that transcended this era. Moreover, he was an Artisan, but even so, he wasn't too sure.
That was really too difficult.
It could definitely be said to be a huge project. The process was extremely complicated and required extremely precise skills. With his Artisan level, he could barely pass in this aspect.
Moreover, the amount of data was extremely huge. It was simply an astronomical figure. Any Artisan would feel numb when faced with such a huge amount of calculations.
No one had ever tried this before. It could be said that everything was blank and full of unknowns. One careless mistake could result in failure. In the end, this heart that he had obtained with great difficulty might be destroyed. This would be a huge loss to any mage, and very few people could bear it.
But Lin Yun felt that he had to give it a try. After all, this kind of challenge could greatly improve his alchemy. During the process, he might gain a lot of new insights, and if he succeeded, it would bring him countless benefits. The strength of the Heaven Puppet would rise to a whole new level. A conservative estimate would be that it would reach level 39, and the most important part was that the Heaven Puppet was a Martial and Magic Dual Cultivator.
To be honest, it was very hard for Lin Yun to give up when faced with such a temptation.
Soon after, Lin Yun put the Hydra Heart on the side and fished out a thick stack of paper from his pocket. The quill in his hand rustled as formulas were repeatedly combined. A large amount of data was spread out on the paper. Lin Yun, who was already an Artisan, couldn't help frowning.
Nothing could be done about it, the data involved in implanting the Hydra Heart could only be described as astronomical. It could make any Artisan feel numb.
The calculations were still ongoing.
Under the dusky night, Lin Yun kept writing on the paper with the help of the light emitted by the Light spell. Only rustling sounds could be heard in the silent environment.
Over two hours had already passed.
During this time, Lin Yun didn't stop and kept making precise calculations. Sheets of paper filled with magic runes were scattered all over the place. This was the result of over two hours of work.
"Phew …"
Only when his wrist felt sore did he put down the quill in his hand and wipe the sweat off his forehead. But at that time, he discovered a black mist beside him and three strange faces floating in the air. Lin Yun frowned. He had been so focused on his calculations that he didn't even notice when Anderfa came out.
"Merlin, what are you trying to do …" Enderfa's three strange faces were filled with seriousness as he looked at the scattered pieces of paper on the ground in bewilderment, saying something incomprehensible.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Lin Yun's doubtful expression, Enderfa almost jumped up in anger and angrily roared, "Don't think I don't know!"
"What do you know …" Lin Yun rolled his eyes. He was truly baffled. He then noticed that Anderfa's expression was a bit strange.
Anderfa remained silent for a few minutes as he stared at Lin Yun, his voice sounding a bit powerless. "Merlin, this kind of taboo alchemy isn't a joke. It was already proven in the middle of the 3rd Dynasty that touching this taboo would lead to endless disasters …"
Just as he finished speaking, Lin Yun froze and looked at Enderfa in a daze. "Middle of the 3rd Dynasty … Pikeman …"
'Right …'
'How could I have overlooked the Pikeman …'
At this time, Anderfa's voice echoed. "You know about the Pikeman, which means that you aren't unfamiliar with that period of history. I think you should also understand the consequences of that kind of taboo alchemy …"
"Alright, Anderfa, I understand what you are saying …" Lin Yun glanced at Anderfa, his voice filled with helplessness. "If there is nothing else, I'll continue …"
"You … You are crazy!" Anderfa held his breath. Indeed, he had clearly heard the young mage say that he wanted to continue.
'This … This is crazy!'
"Haha …" Lin Yun chuckled and inwardly shook his head. He didn't pay attention to Anderfa and instead focused on those scattered pieces of paper. His frown gradually relaxed and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
To be more precise, it was Enderfa's words that had given him a reminder.
He recalled a part of the 3rd Dynasty's history that had been covered in dust.
That happened in the middle of the 3rd Dynasty. At that time, the 3rd Dynasty was at its peak and had completely broken away from the Chromatic Dragons and the Pureblood Elves.
Speaking of this, one person had to be mentioned …
His name was Pikeman, and he was one of the few Artisans of that period. He had been dealing with puppets his entire life and his achievements in the field of puppeteering could be said to have surpassed any Artisan.
It was precisely because of this that Pikeman stood at the peak of that era. His name resounded in every corner of Noscent and was revered by countless mages. He was almost worshipped as a god.
In his later years, Pikeman accepted the invitation of the 3rd Dynasty's royal family and became the Court's Chief Alchemist. Ten years quickly passed, and with the support of a huge amount of manpower and financial resources, Pikeman would announce new research results every once in a while or make some improvements in the field of puppeteering.
However, in the next few years, a strange thing happened …
Pikeman seemed to have disappeared without a trace. He didn't show his face for a few years and didn't announce any new research results. This was truly strange at the time.
This time, Pikeman remained silent for eight years.
In the end, he returned to the court and announced the results of his eight years of research to the court alchemists, claiming that it was a major breakthrough in the field of puppeteering.
He proposed an idea to try to implant the limbs or organs of magic beasts into puppets. That way, the puppets would obtain the characteristics of those magic beasts and become even more powerful.
