Demon Sage

“Monsk? didn’t expect to see you here.”

It was Milo Mengsk, who had met at the Anomaly Bureau job fair before, who greeted Donald. brawny man mechanic.

“I joined the investigation team after leaving the job fair, and I never had the chance to meet again. I heard from Miss Quick that you encountered a lot of difficulties in your first mission, undying creature. But there is an existence that is difficult to deal with… Oh, I almost forgot to introduce, this is the black-faced store manager Fern Walker, a skilled mechanic.”

Monsk’s She seemed to be in a good mood, and after saying hello, she took the initiative to help Donald introduce the store manager.

“Donald, I just asked, Mr. Mengsk seems to be going to the Illusory Island too. He is on the same boat that goes to sea the day after tomorrow. He is on the same trip as you.”

Stephanie suddenly said at this time that she and Mengsk had just met. At that time, he and Donald were both named people, so they would naturally attract attention.

Both are newcomers to Anomaly Bureau, and the two chatted for a while.

“Really? Then I’ll have a good drink later.”

Donald was a little surprised to hear the news. He was able to go to the Apparition with someone he knew The island could not have been better, at least with a source of intelligence.

But it’s not the time to chat, it’s not good to waste people’s time standing in front of the counter and talking about other things in front of the store manager. Besides, this is also the internal information of the Anomaly Bureau, and it can’t be left to outsiders. Discuss without cover.

The purchase of the mechanical mask didn’t take too much time. Stephanie had already helped Donald choose a few better styles in advance. Donald didn’t have much choice about the shape of the mask. Two masks with black skeletons engraved on the outside, one big and one small.

The big one is to be worn by yourself, and the small one is for Lilo, maybe she will use it in the future.

I tried the size of the mask, and I wanted to ask about some functions on the mask. Mengsk next to me said that he could help explain it later, so this step was omitted.

Pay the checkout and complete the transaction neatly.

Fern Walker, who received the money, turned around and went directly into the back room. This man looked like a boring bottle gourd and didn’t say a few words from beginning to end.

“Mr. Walker has always been a person who focuses on craftsmanship and is not very good at socializing. His silence just now is not against you. In fact, he does this to everyone, including me.”

Perhaps worried about Donald’s misunderstanding, Mengsk took the initiative to explain to him when he left.

“You come here often?”

Listening to Mengsk’s tone, he should have something to do with Fern Walker.

“Yes, I usually come here to make mechanical masks in my spare time outside of working hours. It’s a very interesting job. Don’t look at these masks. The mechanical structure is quite elegant, it is a delicate work, it can exercise a mechanical concentration, and Mr. Walker is indeed a genius in mechanical aspects, some of his ideas and works always make people’s eyes shine.”

When it comes to mechanical content, Mengsk seems very talkative, and Donald can also hear from his words that he has a lot of respect for Fern Walker.

It’s not an exaggeration to be a fan of the other party to some extent.

“I was impressed by the two mechanical puppets I saw at the door of his shop. Can they move?”

What is the level of Fern Walker’s mechanical manufacturing? Of course, Donald, a layman, is not qualified to judge, but he is very interested in those two mechanical puppets.

“Of course, not only are they active, they are also the guards of the black-faced store, all you see is its image in a dormant state, and when the store closes at night, Mr. Walker will open them, At that time, any intruders will be attacked by them… I can tell you in private that the manufacturing technology of the two mechanical puppets is no worse than the mechanical puppets developed on Whale Island. ”

Mengsk this remark made Donald subconsciously raise his eyebrows, and glanced at Stephanie next to him, the latter’s expression was a little surprised, similar to Donald’s expression now.

If what Mengsk said is true, then Fern Walker is indeed entitled to the title of genius. You must know that Whale Island is the technology center of the entire Demingham, and the latest airship technology is It was researched in the laboratory on Whale Island.

In the development of mechanical puppets, Fern Walker alone is worth so many mechanic on Whale Island?

“I take the liberty to ask, since Mr. Walker is so powerful, why doesn’t the government recruit him?”

Stephanie is exactly what Donald wants to ask now, It’s just that because of his personal identity, asking directly shows that he doesn’t respect Vern Walker, and if he doesn’t handle it well, it might even arouse Mengsk’s disgust.

He also expects to know some news about the Disillusioned Island from Mengsk’s mouth, but he can’t offend people so casually.

The same question is different from Stephanie’s mouth. Even if it sounds somewhat awkward, at least it won’t make Mengsk feel despised.

“It’s very simple, the concept is different. I have been working in the store of black face for two years, and I also understand some of Mr. Walker’s concepts. What he pursues is the purest machinery, as long as The finished product created by him has absolutely no extras.”

Speaking of this, Mengsk’s face was filled with obvious regret, lightly sighed continued,

“And the mechanics on Whale Island pursue the ultimate efficiency, and they don’t pay much attention to them. As long as they can improve the mechanical efficiency, such as inscriptions, alchemy arrays, they will try it.”

“It doesn’t seem to be a problem to do this.”

Donald looked towards Mengsk strangely. Is it wrong for mechanical creations to pursue efficiency?

“I have the same thoughts as you, so when I go to sea the day after tomorrow, I will be responsible for the maintenance of several mechanical puppets and the first observation work that is put into actual combat… Maybe this is what I am talking about. The difference between Mr. Walker, a pure heart that will spare no effort to pursue the ultimate mechanical creation…”

“When you go to sea the day after tomorrow, you are responsible for the mechanical puppet? The government’s Is the mechanical puppet ready to use?”

Seeing that Mengsk seemed to be trying to get to the point of a bull’s horn, Donald hurriedly changed the subject and hoped to bring him back.

“I don’t know the specific situation, but my guess is that it will be tried within this year. This time going to sea is a practical test. I am just a member of the mechanical team, responsible for the logistics work. , to put it bluntly, he is watching the person who records some data.”

It’s not that Mengsk’s level is low, but his status limits his performance, and these mechanical puppets are also from Whale Island. Confidential, naturally impossible to let a rookie investigator from the Anomaly Bureau control.

The four of them chatted and walked into a cafe on the side of the road. Donald said before that he wanted a drink, but the nearest nightclub is a few blocks away, even more how he has something to do tonight To do it, maybe there will be mistakes or omissions after a few glasses of wine, so I just use coffee instead of wine.

“Why should I choose Mirage Island? Shouldn’t I choose some more secure places for the first test? I’ve read the briefing, and Mirage Island shouldn’t be a safe place, right?”

p>

Taking a sip of coffee, Donald continued the conversation.

“Because the climate of this island is very changeable, it is sunny one second, the next second may be covered with dark clouds, and the rain will inexplicably turn into ice and snow soon after falling. The climatic environment allows us to evaluate the capabilities of the mechanical golems under various weather conditions in the shortest time, which cannot be achieved in Demingham or other islands.”

Even if it is a logistics staff, it is more or less a staff member. Mengsk has learned much more detailed information than Donald.

“Sunny days become rainy days, I can understand, now this season, snow?”

Stephanie almost wrote the word doubt on her face.

“haha ~ that’s what’s so special about Phantom Island, like the environment we are in, the elements tend to be balanced most of the time, but the elements on this island are extremely chaotic, some people think it’s caused by Due to the influence of certain plants or unique terrain on the island, there is often a sudden surge in the content of a certain element, which causes changes in the environment, and the entire Phantom Island is not only such a special place, my team Someone has been to Changeling Island, and he told me that the real worry on Changeling Island is not the weather, but a special kind of beast – the changeling slime!”

Mengsk said This, Donald and Stephanie’s attention has been focused on him.

“What is a ghost slime?”

Donald first heard about this exotic beast, and its name is repeated with the island, which should be representative An alien beast.

“A beast that can become anything, as long as it looks at something for a certain period of time, it can imitate and change in a short time, and it is exactly the same as the being imitated, even if it imitates. What’s more is people, and what’s even more frustrating is that this alien beast has a very strong offensive, every tree you walk, every stone you cross may be made of them, which is the most important thing for the previous batches to land on the island. The people in this area have suffered enough… In fact, it is still dangerous now, and they may be attacked if they are not careful.”

The island discovered at the beginning of the year has not been explored for nearly a year. It is not unreasonable to complete its exploration completely, and the illusion slime is definitely one of the biggest obstacles.

Although the Potion Masters have developed some sprays that can make the changeling slime appear, many times you simply don’t know what the changeling slime changes, do you spray it all the way?

How much is enough for such a huge island?

“Well, it’s a little troublesome…”

Donald frowned, but he was a little excited.

He was wondering if his Spirit Vision abilities could have unexpected effects here.
