Communication in this world is like a net. You can always get what you want by going around in circles.
After seeing how Feim could easily get the list of material transportation, Victor couldn't help but once again sigh at the greatness of "money".
Feim was not stationed in this "island club" city with a duke. As a supply force, even if he was alone, he had to keep fighting on the move in the outside world.
Only this time, he seemed to have met an unexpected visitor.
……
Among the complex mountains of Cornwall, a tall figure with an orange side ponytail and wearing an orange windbreaker can be seen stepping onto this land through the occasional swaying gaps.
She casually stepped on the brake, raised her head and shook her hair, took off her glasses and put them in the pocket of her windbreaker, and when her long legs stepped on the ground, the roaring motorcycle slowly stalled.
"Collective action and the like are not suitable for me, old men." Aozaki Touko took a deep breath, and the bloody smell in the air made her frown slightly - at the same time, a slightly old voice sounded in her ears again.
"As the explorers ordered by Lord Inolai, we will do our best to provide you with the necessary support."
"But at the same time, we need you to use the puppet to get deeper as quickly as possible and find out the extent of the alliance between Lord Yi and the magician, and whether they have already infiltrated Cornwall."
At this time, although Aozaki Touko has not yet gone so crazy as to create a forbidden clone that can perfectly transfer the soul, just like in the Far East, she can easily create a golden wolf doll. She is already a talented puppeteer with a considerable level, capable of creating a puppet that is comparable to the original body, and even connecting consciousness to the puppet.
However, it is true that the dolls she makes now are still a little imperfect...
For example, in the Far East, even if the Aozaki Aoko was made almost exactly like the other person, the joints could not avoid having the characteristics of a doll.
But none of this matters.
At present, she does not need to delve into things like external beauty and one-to-one reproduction.
Rather, the troubles that her perfect talent will bring about and the impending sealing designation have not yet been resolved!
"Scarlet."
Aozaki Touko tapped her chin lightly, looking at the approaching dusk. The entire ground was already beginning to glow red with the setting sun. She began to adjust the puppet while muttering to herself.
“This is my best work…”
"If it's really you... please don't let me down."
……
Feim's city can move while hiding in the abyss.
Although Victor still doesn't know what the damn abyss is, considering that this guy likes to use shadows to form an avatar as his own image, Victor guessed that it is probably related to shadows.
And when he dived into the abyss again to look for the Magic Association's new supply routes based on intelligence, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the terrain that was like a narrow strip of sky in the canyon, as well as the scattered magicians.
What an obvious bait! This crudely designed scheme is quite boring at first glance.
It was only then that he saw one of the figures with exposed joints.
"Huh? A puppet?!"
"Huh? What is that."
At the same time, the puppet controlled by Aozaki Touko instantly sensed the other party's presence -
She looked up suddenly and saw a huge shadow coming towards her!
"spread!!"
Boom!
Aozaki Touko dodged the attack of the shadow by rolling sideways, and the huge fortress fist smashed down on the magic array that had just been built next to her, causing a violent explosion!
Boom!
There was nothing else. Just from the shadow that was like ripples on the mirror, this arm full of luxurious spell-body that looked as irresistible as a Titan, Aozaki Touko felt a huge sense of oppression.
In the distance, Aozaki Touko, who was still multitasking and contacting the Magic Association at the same time, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly and immediately brought her attention back to the puppet.
Suddenly he said, "It seems that you have to reimburse me for the cost of the doll."
"What? Did you encounter any enemies?"
"Ah, this is a bit... not good." Aozaki Touko moved the doll's wrist and looked up at the huge arm.
Under the light of dusk, shadow ripples continued to spread, gradually revealing the huge fortress bit by bit, making the entire canyon seem shaky.
This guy... this is...
She cracked her lips and licked her lower lip seductively: "Hey, old man, I can provide you with some information right now."
"what?"
"My puppet is reimbursed?"
"...Aozaki Touko!!"
"Tsk." After hearing this, Aozaki Touko raised her face arrogantly and looked at the other party: "Looks like I won the jackpot?"
"That's right." Hearing this, Feim laughed cheerfully and said softly, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am one of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles, the puppet master Van Feim."
"Puppet master..." When Aozaki Touko's real body heard this, he suddenly smiled and took off the headset from his ear, crushed it and said, "Let me ask you a question."
"Oh?"
"Is your so-called magician called Victor?"
Feim was slightly stunned by Aozaki Touko's straightforward question, and then he laughed and said, "Oh? Interesting, it seems that I have found a good prey."
"Do you want to know? Then... just stay alive first!"
Boom, boom, the fortress made a huge sonic boom, causing Aozaki Orange to sigh softly:
"Tsk."
……
"Hmm? Puppet Master? You even know my name?"
Not long after, Victor, who was following the developments of the battlefield in Cornwall, finally received the first message from Fim.
He was slightly stunned, and the unruly and arrogant look of Aozaki Touko suddenly appeared in his mind.
Aozaki Orange?
? No, why are you here on the battlefield?
Okay, okay, first it's Liz Bailey, Kenneth, Kotomine Kirei, and then it's you... Are you guys, this group of acquaintances with names, seriously ill? !
Or is it that you become famous characters just because you like to be at the front?
Losing to me once is not enough, right? You want to try a second time?!
Recalling Aozaki Touko's slightly crazy fighting style and Ferm's almost zero fighting skills, Victor scratched his head and looked at Altluki worriedly, "Which castle did Ferm use this time?"
There are seven cities in Feim. Except for one that was demolished by Brad with the Ghost Legion, the remaining six now have their own characteristics and varying strengths.
But in general, the trend is that the more you build, the more expensive it is, and the bigger it is.
Among them, the strongest is naturally the final throne, which is what Victor had seen before. It is a super fortress comparable to a city, covering dozens of square kilometers.
The most flexible ones are the city of four-legged monsters as tall as the legendary Titans.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be what the other party used.
But this city, to be honest...
Victor couldn't help but ask, "He won't be overturned, right?"
125. Feim: Why should I bear the grudge between you and Victor? (Additional update)
In the broken canyon, countless broken rocks flew everywhere. Under the tremor, the huge shadow appeared in the night like a mountain giant, and it once again waved its mighty iron fist!
Aozaki Touko retracted her hand and narrowed her eyes coldly. At this moment, her hair that was tied up behind her doll had completely fallen apart. "Is all you can do about it is hide behind these rags?"
Although the opponent's huge puppet lacked delicacy, she seemed to have a greater advantage in agility and magical power.
But the opponent had been hiding behind the puppet, watching coldly, and she had no way to do anything for a while, and was instead made a little embarrassed - as one of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles, the supreme puppeteer, the opponent's current puppet, in Victor's words, is a Gundam.
Especially at the expense of its own agility and dexterity, its strength and the magic equipment it can equip have been greatly increased.
The defensiveness has also reached the MAX level.
The research on fine puppets by Aozaki Touko is about how to restore the magic circuits and characteristics of the magician himself on a one-to-one basis, so as to customize and create puppets that perfectly suit himself.
This made her very distressed - even though she had used various magic tricks to blast this puppet no less than a dozen times.
With the help of magic power that was used to repair and enhance the beast from time to time while hiding behind the puppet, the beast did not suffer any damage at all. This made Orange, who had a bad temper, a little irritated.
"If we really talk about hiding behind the puppet, I shouldn't be able to beat you." Hearing this, Feim still smiled and said while hiding in the puppet: "After all, I still put my body in the puppet as the furnace core, and you..."
The two of them took completely different paths. Feim took the giant puppet to the extreme and used the puppet as the main means of combat. As a fortress-type puppet, the puppet itself is much more powerful than the puppeteer, so the puppeteer's main role is to serve as the furnace core. The power of the puppet can be maximized when it is nearby or directly inside the fortress.
But Orange is different. In her eyes, the puppet is more like a carrier. She does not pursue the strength of the puppet itself, but rather pursues adaptability. The real strength comes from magic.
The advantage of this method is that remote control of the puppet will not cause too much impact.
Of course, it's not that Aozaki Touko is incapable of quickly utilizing the surrounding soil and the materials she brings with her to quickly deploy a position and create garbage dolls for combat.
But Aozaki Touko, who has always been committed to the concept of refinement and high-end, has long disdained to make low-end junk dolls. Compared to those things, she would rather use magic to blow the opponent to pieces.
But come to think of it, the pressure from the other party wasn't that great?
Aozaki Touko thought to herself that although it still seemed that she could not win the fight, whether it was against Victor from the past or the other legendary ancestors.
The opponent's sense of oppression mainly comes from the puppet.
Hmm... Not even as good as the ancestor who was defeated by the Golden Wolf in the Magic Eye Train...
Thinking of this, she felt relieved and began to think calmly.
The giant fist fell, and she dodged again quickly, quickly drawing a rune in the air.
Oh? Rune magic?
Seeing this, Feim was slightly stunned, but he immediately recognized the source of this thing - he, who had even heard of the ancient secrets and the great mysteries, was playing ancient magic in front of him?
Isn't this asking for death? !
Feim smiled, raised his foot and stepped on it.
The mere Rune magic couldn't even break his defense.
However, in the face of his disdain and attack, Aozaki Touko quickly drew runes one after another in the air.
This made Feim think more highly of him.
Different from basic magic, in ancient magic such as runes, each rune represents the most basic effect. For example, a single rune may represent an explosion, and through combination, runes can produce different effects.
Therefore, the number of runes that can be mastered is a very important and basic indicator in rune magic.
And what about mastering runes?
It’s also very difficult!
It is like using magic to copy a masterpiece of a top painter. Not only can there not be the slightest mistake, but each rune represents a completely different style of the painter. It can be said that a mediocre rune magician may not be able to master more than two runes in his entire life.
Not to mention the original.
However, Aozaki Touko now has mastered twenty-four basic runes and three primordial runes.
So, how terrifying is Aozaki Touko when she performs her rune magic... Feim, who was disdainful at first, soon found out.
His attack was once again dodged by the opponent, and the place where he stepped was already covered with dense blue runes.
This is not the end. After dodging, Aozaki Touko did not hesitate at all. She bounced back and rushed towards the core position of the puppet!
Only the puppeteer knows the puppeteer best!
Gundam, right?
I know exactly where your cockpit is!
Aozaki Touko climbed up quickly while engraving runes, and at this time, Feim finally realized something. Magic cannons emerged from the puppet's body, and ropes burning with magic also rushed over at a rapid speed.
He successfully blocked Aozaki Touko and even smashed one of her arms with his sharp blow.
However, Aozaki Touko gave him a sinister smile and raised her middle finger at him jokingly.
“Along”
In an instant, endless blue runes accompanied by her voice suddenly emitted a faint glow.
The magical fluctuations gathered quickly, causing Feim to almost subconsciously activate the defense project.
