Chapter 40 Doll Girl
"Who are you?"
Looking at the machine girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked, while the machine girl waved her hand.
"Ah, please don''t be nervous. Although I look like a doll, I am actually a human whose soul has been sealed here by an evil wizard! Can you help me find my original body together?"
…………”
What kind of inexplicable development is this?
Facing the request of the robot girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai felt a little confused, but he nodded.
"no problem."
? No matter what, at least I can finally meet someone here who I can communicate with, and just listen to what she wants to say.
?In this way, a strange robot girl joined Duanmuhuai and Ojisi''s team.
She introduced herself as Mia. She was originally a human being, but an evil wizard cast a spell that sealed her soul in a doll. And this sky city is the castle of the evil wizard. He put himself and others here as a display. In fact, the other dolls on the table were also victims of the wizard, but their souls had fallen into a deep sleep and could not be awakened...
“I really, really thank you, sir, and miss.”
Following behind the two of them, Mia looked grateful.
"This body is very stiff and it is really difficult to move. And the most disturbing thing is that the clothes have cute lace edges... If it wasn''t the body of a doll now, I would have burst into tears. It''s better now, If I am with you two, I feel that I will be able to regain my original body!”
"Well……"
?Hearing what Mia said, Duanmu Huai looked confused. To be honest, he always felt that this direction was weird. Sky City? Evil wizard? Doll? magic? No... Miss, this has nothing to do with magic. From the time I came to Sky City to now, all I have seen are technological creations.
Including Mia''s body. Although her appearance is similar to Ojis, Duanmuhuai can be sure that if Mia is smashed, there will definitely be various dense steel structures and cables inside - this is different from Ojis. Dolls like Keith are completely different.
??You want to say that your consciousness is transmitted into the body of a robot by some kind of device, but it makes more sense!
Or maybe the consciousness of this Miss Mia comes from an indigenous person? If this is the case, it is not surprising that she would have this idea. After all, technological means such as consciousness transmission are indeed similar to magic in the eyes of these low-civilized natives.
Forget it, you’ll find out when you go there.
Although they had doubts about Mia''s words, at least under her guidance, the two of them had their next goals. So Duanmuhuai and Ojisi also followed Mia''s guidance and continued to move towards the "evil wizard''s residence".
Of course, they encountered more enemies.
“Roar————!!”
Duanmu Huai held the war hammer and rushed forward, colliding heavily with a burly machine guard. Its appearance was similar to the previous [Magic Steel Lion], but this time the robot''s head was not a lion, but The look of a tiger.
【Tiger of Steel】
【LV30】
Compared with [Magic Steel Lion], [Steel Tiger] has a higher level, but its attack power is not as strong as [Magic Steel Lion], but its defense power is very outstanding. It was still too low for Duanmu Huai to destroy an enemy of this level by himself, but fortunately, relying on the summoned puppets and cooperating with Ojis who was skimming the formation next to him, Duanmu Huai was able to kill the [Steel of Steel] in front of him. Tiger], taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent''s claws to be swung in the air, Duanmu Huai roared angrily, and the war hammer in his hand hit the core behind [Steel Tiger] directly, knocking it to the ground, and then swung the hammer out again, directly Smash it to rags.
?Until the last tiger robot fell to the ground, Duanmu Huai took a breath, and then summoned the [Repair Opportunity Skull] to start repairing the power armor. Just a few [Steel Tigers] reduced the durability of his power armor to less than 20%. If he did it again, the power armor would be broken into pieces.
What makes Duanmuhuai even more depressed is that there is no experience value for killing monsters in Soul Fragments. The same was true for the two soul fragments he had experienced before, Ogis''s doll house and the scholar''s haunted mansion. There are no experience points for killing monsters and no experience points for completing tasks. You will only get soul cards.
??This setting in the game is to prevent players from brushing up their levels. After all, just like the previous Haunted Mansion, players can start over again and again as long as the task is not completed. Therefore, it is also possible that some players deliberately take advantage of this feature, repeatedly grinding soul fragments as copies, and deliberately do not complete tasks to upgrade monsters. Therefore, in the game, there is no way for players to gain experience by killing monsters in Soul Fragments, and there is no experience for completing tasks - only soul cards will be given.
?But... the BOSS level in this place won''t exceed level 40.
Looking at the wreckage of the [Steel Tiger] in front of him, Duanmu Huai frowned. From the [Magic Steel Lion] just now, to the [Mechanical Soldier], and then to the [Steel Tiger]. Most of the monsters in this soul fragment map are between level 20 and level 30. If these robots were made by the "wizard" Mia mentioned, then his level is likely to be around level 40. Of course, this is not certain. Just like the scholar in the haunted mansion, his level is not even level 10, and in the general technological world, individual strength levels are actually not high. At least for now, the monsters Duanmuhuai encounters in the Sky City are basically technological creations. If this is the case, then there is also the possibility that the individual "Wizard" level is not high.
?Of course, in this setting, the opponent will usually build a powerful robot. However, if his own strength is low, Duanmuhuai can use a puppet to assassinate it and bypass the BOSS battle to win.
In short, I hope it’s not too dangerous.
? Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai glanced at Ogis beside him. Although Ogis could fight against enemies around level 70, he did not want Ogis to take risks. Duanmu Huai currently has no cards in his hand that can be used to retrieve graves. Dolls can proliferate indefinitely, and ghosts can be transformed through dolls. Fortunately, it won''t hurt if they are eliminated.
??But if Ogis goes into the cemetery, it will be difficult to fish her out.
?According to the design of soul cards, after a servant enters the graveyard, it can only be awakened again through a card with [Call of the Dead]. After using magic cards and spell cards and entering the graveyard, if you want to use them again, you need to consume X1000 experience points to reset them back to your hand.
At present, Duanmuhuai does not have the [Call of the Dead] card in his hand, so he must proceed with caution.
? Duanmu Huai has made up his mind. If the last BOSS here is really too difficult at the moment, then he will give up the strategy for the time being, go to other places to improve his strength, and then come back to finish it.
??You can''t let Ogis die here.
After defeating the attack of the Machine Legion again, the group finally arrived in front of the palace of Sky City. At this moment, Mia suddenly raised her hand and pointed forward.
“Ah, there it is! That evil wizard!”
Hearing Mia''s words, Duanmuhuai and Ojisi both raised their heads and looked in the direction of Mia''s finger. On the balcony on the second floor of the palace, a figure in a robe was standing there, looking coldly. stared at them.
“I didn’t expect that you actually found a helper, Mia.”
“Evil wizard, give me my body back quickly!”
"Haha, stupid idiot, your body has become my collection a long time ago. I was originally very merciful and wanted to let you live in the form of a doll, but now it seems... I have to teach you a lesson. "
…………???”
?Listening to the conversation between the wizard and Mia, Duanmuhuai frowned slightly. He always felt that something was not quite right. Logically speaking, the situation in this soul fragment is now very clear. A wizard... no matter who he is, in short, he extracted the soul of a girl named Mia from the body and injected it into the robot''s body. Mia then asks for help, hoping someone can defeat the wizard and get her body back.
It seems that the whole content is correct, but... Duanmuhuai always feels that it doesn''t make sense.
Comparing the regrets of the previous puppet master and the contradictory emotions of the scholar, Mia''s feelings do not seem to be intense enough to fix a sky city here and become soul fragments.
Especially since the monsters in this sky city are not low-level and very strong... Is this a fragmented world that a soul like Mia, who is sealed in a robot body, can create?
Is there any hidden secret in it?
?While Duanmuhuai was thinking, he saw the cloaked man also raising his hands.
“Awake, my guards, and destroy these foolish intruders!”
“Dong…dong…dong…!!”
Following the man''s call, the door of the palace in front of him slowly opened. Then, one after another, large robots almost as big as Duanmu Huai walked out. Not only that, there were also floating robots above their heads. Some weird mechanical creations that don''t look like humans at all - they have prismatic or circular cores surrounded by a circle of iron rings, like wonderful works of art suspended in the air.
【Large Mechanical Soldier】【Ancient Creation】【Analyzed Creation】【Mysterious Creation】
“Coming!”
Looking at the Steel Corps in front of him, Duanmu Huai was shocked and hurriedly collected his thoughts. Then he also hurriedly activated the soul card again. Soon, an army of puppets appeared in front of Duanmu Huai, corresponding to the Steel Corps opposite.
“Attack!!”
With the cloaked man roaring, the next moment, the battle between steel and the puppet began.
