This news seemed to have grown wings as it spread throughout Noscent. Everyone felt that Pikeman's idea was a bit crazy.
But the voices of opposition were almost negligible.
Because in that era, Pikeman represented supreme authority in the field of puppeteering. Any alchemist specializing in puppeteering could only look up to Pikeman.
Not long after this idea was put forward, the 3rd Dynasty's royal family gave Pikeman a huge amount of support. They dispatched countless troops and palace alchemists to sweep through one mountain range after another, capturing countless magic beasts and transporting them to the imperial capital for Pikeman's alchemy experiments.
For a full three years, the 3rd Dynasty had consumed countless manpower and financial resources, and at that time, Pikeman's alchemy experiment had already reached its end. After repeated attempts, he finally succeeded in implanting the magic beast's organs into the puppet. Just as he had said three years ago, the modified puppet would be incomparably powerful.
Although the consumption was somewhat frightening, the benefits brought to the 3rd Dynasty by this research were indescribable. It could push the 3rd Dynasty's military to a whole new level.
Not long after, that group of palace alchemists grasped Pikeman's modification method. With a single order, all the puppets of the empire were transported to the imperial capital. They spent close to a year to implant the magic beast organs into the puppets, increasing their power by a few levels.
This was originally a good thing …
But, in the following days, puppets would often go out of control and injure people. At first, not many people paid attention to it, as they only thought that the puppets had gone out of control. But as time passed, more and more puppets went out of control.
It was like a swarm of locusts rapidly spreading. Puppets in many cities revolted and completely broke away from human control, recklessly launching attacks. In a short three months, one city after another fell, casting a shadow over the entire empire. Countless troops were dispatched to suppress those puppets, but they were still unable to stabilize the situation.
At that time, some people realized that it might have been because of Pikeman's majestic modification wave that caused the puppets to go out of control and brought a crisis to the empire.
But it was useless to realize this, it had already happened.
After an entire ten years, the flourishing 3rd Dynasty fell from the clouds. The number of troops sharply decreased, and they managed to eliminate those puppets one by one.
The third dynasty had suffered a great blow from this storm …
After that, Pikeman never appeared again …
Some people guessed that Pikeman knew that he had caused a huge disaster and that staying in the palace would only lead to his death. Not long after the puppet rebellion, he fled Noscent and entered the endless planes. Some people felt that Pikeman hadn't been able to escape and had already been secretly executed by the royal family.
In any case, the topic of the puppet rebellion became taboo, including Pikeman's name. No one dared to mention it again.
And the 3rd Dynasty's royal family deliberately erased this part of history, to the point that Pikeman's name was forever covered in dust. The alchemists of the later generations simply didn't know that an Artisan named Pikeman had existed.
But, a few dozen millennia later, during the peak of the Magic Era, a group of crazy mages dug up one grave after another and finally found that dusty history in the grave of a descendant of the 3rd Dynasty's royal family. And the name Pikeman once again resounded in Noscent.
In that unknown part of history, countless puppets were remodeled and implanted with magic beast organs, making them extremely powerful. They then rebelled and captured one city after another.
As this part of history surfaced, all of Noscent's mages were shocked. The appearance of this part of history also solved one of the mysteries. Why did the flourishing 3rd Dynasty decline overnight and never recover until its destruction?
Countless alchemists crazily searched for the results of Pikeman's research. It had a fatal attraction to them, and after a few years of searching, they finally found some clues.
To be more precise, it was ruins. The owner of the ruins was an alchemist from the same era as Pikeman, and he was also an Artisan. After the puppet rebellion of the 3rd Dynasty, he had preserved Pikeman's remodeling plan. But unfortunately, after several dozen millennia, the crystal recording the information was already somewhat damaged. That group of alchemists didn't obtain the complete remodeling plan.
But …
Even if it was incomplete, it was enough to make those alchemists crazy, because at that time, puppeteering had already been developed to its pinnacle. It would be very difficult to make a breakthrough for decades, or even centuries. In the end, a group of alchemists researched the incomplete remodeling plan for a few years and came to the conclusion that this kind of thinking might really be able to make a major breakthrough in the field of puppeteering.
But there was another crucial factor …
How to prevent the puppets from going out of control after the remodeling …
Naturally, this wasn't a big problem during the peak of the magic civilization. While researching the incomplete remodeling plan, that group of alchemists had already discovered the problem and made some improvements in that area. They were completely confident that the puppets wouldn't go out of control after the remodeling.
But after a few decades, those alchemists knew that they were wrong.
They had truly underestimated Pikeman's wisdom.
They originally thought that the remodeling plan being incomplete wasn't a big deal. Many alchemists would be able to restore the remodeling plan after studying it for a while, but unfortunately, they were unable to do so after decades of research.
At this time, no matter how helpless they were, they could only give up on this research. After all, there was no point in researching it.
And this matter became one of the greatest regrets of Noscent's alchemists.
They were certain that if they could restore the complete remodeling plan, or if it wasn't incomplete, the field of puppeteering would inevitably undergo a major reform and reach a whole new level.
"Damnit, truly damnit …" Anderfa looked as if he had seen a ghost. After cursing a few times, he stared at Lin Yun and said, "Merlin, I have to say, you are truly a lunatic …"
To be honest, he truly couldn't understand the young mage's actions.
After all, that puppet had been a genuine Heaven Rank Puppet before it was damaged. It had come from the hands of the greatest puppet alchemist since ancient times, the Dark Sage.
Even if it was damaged now, with the young mage's growth speed, it wouldn't take long for the puppet's power to reach a terrifying level, infinitely close to the Heaven Rank. It might even be able to step into the Heaven Rank once again.
But …
Not long ago, he had discovered from the large amount of formulas and data that the young mage actually wanted to implant the Hydra's heart into the puppet and replace the original mechanical system.
This was too crazy …
After perfectly fusing with the heart, the puppet would inherit the Hydra's power and innate spells, and its strength would reach a whole new level.
But did the young mage think about the consequences of doing so?
There was no doubt that the puppet would go out of control just like it did a few millennia ago.
But what truly infuriated Anderfa was that the young mage clearly knew the consequences, yet he still didn't plan on giving up and kept going.
'Crazy … He's really crazy this time!'
Lin Yun 'gaze moved away from the papers and fell on Anderfa. He stared at Anderfa for a long time before breaking the silence. "Give me the concrete remodeling plan of Pikeman's research …"
"You … I don't understand what you are talking about!"
"You definitely know …"
"How could I know! If you want to get the remodeling plan, you should look for Pikeman … "
"Haha …"
Lin Yun let out a hollow laugh. He didn't say much, but he was still smiling as he looked at Anderfa.
"Alright, this matter ends here …" Anderfa felt somewhat uncomfortable after being stared at by Lin Yun for over ten minutes. After saying that, he turned into a black smoke and prepared to return to the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel.
"Fuck …"
But the young mage stopped him, causing Anderfa to become flustered and exasperated. "Damn, I'll tell you the truth, Merlin! If I tell you the remodeling plan, I won't be helping you, I'll be harming you! Do you know that or not?!"
This time, the smile on Lin Yun 'face deepened and he sighed in relief. "You really do know …"
In fact, before getting an answer, Lin Yun hadn't dared to be sure.
Anderfa could determine that he wanted to implant the Hydra Heart into the Heaven Puppet through the formula and data on the paper, and he also mentioned the matter that happened in the middle of the 3rd Dynasty. But just based on this, he didn't dare to be sure whether Anderfa knew about the remodeling plan researched by Pikeman or not.
But now, everything was clear. Anderfa really did know …
"Damn …" A deep curse echoed, followed by Anderfa 'silence. His three faces were gloomy, clearly dissatisfied with Lin Yun.
Just like that, Anderfa couldn't return to the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and could only stay in a deadlock with Lin Yun.
Soon, half an hour passed …
At this time, Anderfa finally couldn't help laughing. He laughed for a few minutes before stopping. "Merlin, as you wish …"
After saying that, a black mist surged and numerous magic runes condensed in the void. After doing that, Anderfa entered the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, but he wasn't stopped by Lin Yun this time. Anderfa's sneer echoed from the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. "You'll definitely regret it!"
Lin Yun didn't have time to pay attention to Anderfa. He looked at the magic runes in the void and smiled. He kept writing with his quill on a piece of paper.
