Mystic Dominator

No wonder the power of 'Rage' didn't notice the strangeness here...

Looking at the scene in front of him.

This was the first thing Ronald realized.

At this moment, all the puppets were moving in the birch forest, and none of the living people were seen.

Moreover, these puppets are of a specially treated type.

Under the treatment of special craftsmanship, the magic power of this kind of puppet is all restricted in a small range, and it is difficult to detect signs of their activities if one does not observe them closely.

But other than that, there are more scary things.

The puppet in the birch forest held not the muskets that Ronald had seen before, but tools such as long saws, axes, and carving knives.

On the premise of maintaining a certain density of trees, these magical creations work here in an orderly manner. The felled trees are taken away by other puppets the moment they fall to the ground, and then face the end of being divided and processed by tools.

As for the processing result...

Very simple, all are standard puppet bodies.

The puppets created by spells are working here without sleep. Although there is no guarantee of work accuracy, a lot of wood will face the end of being scrapped directly.

But with Puppet's tireless and continuous work, there are still a lot of outputs.

"what is this?"

"Magic version of a von Neumann machine?"

Flying in a simple circle, Ronald only felt his brows twitch wildly, and couldn't help but start complaining.

The potential for this puppeteering spell is simply too great.

If I had to give an example, it was the kind of self-replicating robot in science fiction. The only difference was that the puppets needed Lumir to transform them with spells.

"Von Neumann machine?"

"What it is?"

Just as Ronald was thinking about these things, Aliya on the side spoke. When she heard Ronald's complaints, she thought it was a complaint, so she simply asked a question.

This is not something that needs to be kept secret.

So Ronald directly explained:

"For the von Neumann machine, you can understand it as a kind of self-discipline action, and at the same time can produce a robot with the same structure as yourself. At present, it is just a..."

When explaining the von Neumann machine, Ronald tried to use words that people in the steam age could understand. And Aliya is worthy of being an existence on the upper level of the mysterious side, and soon understood what Ronald meant.

But after comprehending the elements of von Neumann, Alia became silent instead.

She didn't even look at the moving puppets on the ground, but stared at Ronald quite seriously.

"..."

"Give me this original code holder, and spread the knowledge of technological attributes?"

"Are you going to betray the mysterious side?"

"puff--"

Hearing this, Ronald almost lost his flight and fell.

How should I describe it...

After the discussion at the [Scroll Research Society], Alia's ability to adapt to the new environment was surprisingly strong. This is what happened, she can think of this kind of thing from Ronald's words!

With the idea of ​​clearing up the misunderstanding, he naturally said to Aliya:

"I didn't mean that myself, I just explained the meaning of this word."

"..."

Aliya still thought seriously for a few seconds before continuing to speak:

"Ronald, although the former Lord Adler chose not to care about worldly affairs. But as his only direct descendant, your status is very special. I don't mind hearing it, you should pay more attention in the future."

With the support of the power of 'Rage', Ronald could clearly feel Alicia's emotions. When the girl said these words, the feeling in her heart was a kind reminder, not a warning like a threat.

In response to Aliya's kindness, Ronald nodded seriously:

"Thanks for the reminder, I will remember this."

"..."

The conversation didn't end with Ronald's thanks.

After saying these two sentences, Aliya's expression relaxed instead, and while she began to control her magic power to cast spells, she took the time to ask Ronald:

"But having said that, Ronald, what do you think of the future of this world? Do you support the current caster class, or do you want to try the future that no one can tell, called science?"

Aliya asked easily, but Ronald didn't want to perfuse the question.

He would think of Alia's attitude just now, so he expressed his true thoughts in a firm tone:

"I'm more bullish on science."

"Although spells are useful, they also cause too many problems for the entire human society. I don't like them very much because of their own characteristics."

"What you said sounds like an ordinary person who can't cast spells would say it." Alia tilted her head and looked at Ronald with a smile in her eyes, "But I don't know what you think. Just hate it."

"Spells are too harmful, so it's better to disappear!"

The voice fell to the ground, and the magical power that Aliya had accumulated for a while manifested in the air.

A gleaming golden long sword with gems of various colors inlaid on its surface floated in the air in front of Alia.

Next, is the simplest and direct destruction.

After the sword is summoned, it does not need Alia's control, nor does it need follow-up magical support. Like a living creature with its own thoughts, it immediately pierced the air and rushed to the ground.

swipe swipe——

The sharp blade flashed across the dark birch forest.

Where the sword passed, no puppet could continue to stand on the ground. Their fate was either to have their heads cut off directly by the sword, or to be cut in half in the middle of the body more thoroughly.

Some of the puppets reacted and resisted.

But in the face of Aliya's spell, all this is a futile struggle.

No matter what kind of object is slashed by the puppet, the result is that it is directly split in two by the flying sword. It is just a delusion to prevent the sword from attacking.

Almost as fast as Ronald looked away.

The sword quickly slaughtered all the nearby puppets, and then went deep into the forest to continue cleaning up other puppets.

While staring at her own spell creation, Aliya smiled at Ronald:

"How about it, isn't it convenient?"

Ronald nodded in praise:

"It's really convenient. Among the spells I've seen, it's very rare to be able to accomplish goals with such self-discipline."

Facing Ronald's praise, Alia changed the topic.

"But convenience is convenience, but my spells don't have this effect in terms of detection and search, what about you, Ronald?"

Ronald saw Aliya's intentions.

"Leave the search work to me."

Smiling and shrugging his shoulders, he also began to chant spells and cast spells to search for the secrets hidden under the wreckage of this place:

"His name is Styx,

The black water flowed down to the foot of the dark and steep cliff..."
