I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 796 - 494 Storm Crystal Puppet

Chen Lun saw this and quickly walked over.

Even Carmen stopped studying, coming up behind the teacher, both of them looking towards the large tome on the table.

On the opened page, in the top left corner with dark green ink, beautiful handwriting read "Annals: Tresor Family Royal Member List," yet under the entry for "Crown Prince," it was filled with nothing but empty space.

The blank space was not limited to that page. Madame Fleurette turned several more pages, all blank, without a single trace of records.

"I wrote this myself; it can’t be without relevant records..."

Madame Fleurette murmured to herself.

She furrowed her eyebrows, sinking into thought.

Chen Lun and Carmen watched on, seemingly also realizing the seriousness of the matter. Even Madame Fleurette’s memory had become blurred, and the information she personally recorded had disappeared into thin air. Such power was extremely mysterious.

A moment later.

Madame Fleurette turned her head to ask Carmen:

"Do you remember anything?"

Carmen had also heard the conversation between the two and clearly understood what the teacher was asking. His old face stiffened, and he hesitantly said:

"I’m sorry, teacher, I don’t remember very clearly..."

Madame Fleurette nodded, as if confirming a suspicion, then turned to look at Chen Lun, her voice grave:

"In my memory, the Sun Royal Family should have produced many crown princes, but this memory is very vague. I cannot be one hundred percent certain... This power to manipulate cognition and twist reality, it belongs exclusively to the Constellation, and I even suspect it is the work of some Constellation Angel."

Upon hearing Madame Fleurette’s explanation, Chen Lun’s doubts grew even stronger.

Because he remembered something Princess Anna had once said.

"Proud Sun" Arno was banished by the Sun King, who used his mighty power to erase the traces of Arno’s existence so that he was gradually forgotten... The reason why some people still remember him, Chen Lun guessed, was likely because Arno himself was of Angel Rank, and such power could not fully affect him.

If the former Sun Royal Family had indeed produced many many crown princes, then, with such power, it would be mostly possible to make the entire world forget.

After all, those crown princes were likely mere mortals.

’But what is the purpose of the Sun King doing this? And how did he manage to... Could it be that he has an S-grade Mysterious Object from the Constellation series? Even with an S-grade, it’s doubtful it could do this...’

Chen Lun’s brows were tightly knitted, unable to make sense of it.

At that moment, Madame Fleurette closed the large tome and put it back on the shelf. She sighed softly, her interest waning as she said to Chen Lun:

"Jack, I advise you not to delve any deeper into this matter. Whether you believe it or not, I can tell you very clearly, the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes for you... Perhaps the day you see the whole truth will also likely be the day of your downfall."

Madame Fleurette’s words were straightforward, and Chen Lun could hear the sincere advice in them.

This was already the second time someone in a high position had advised him not to investigate further, following the Silver Dragon Witch, Your Majesty. They clearly sensed the terrifying danger and sensibly restrained their own curiosity in a timely manner, no longer pursuing the so-called truth behind it all.

Chen Lun nodded. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"Thank you for your advice, Madame Fleurette. I think I won’t go looking for trouble."

"That’s right, only the wise live long..."

Madame Fleurette smiled with a chuckle, picking up a Dragon Sharpstone and examining it, commenting while looking:

"You know, even ordinary Saints have lifespans of over ten thousand years. That’s the biggest difference between the Mythical and mortals. So, don’t die so easily, as I may only have a few friends that include you for communication over the potentially long future."

’Friends, huh...’

A smile appeared on Chen Lun’s face.

It seemed that after his ascension to a high position, Madame Fleurette treated him with equal footing, which might be a form of respect.

Crack!

Madame Fleurette gently squeezed the small Dragon Sharpstone in her hand, and the surface of the Black Crystal instantly cracked, releasing a flash of red lightning. It then bounced electric arcs off the surface of her fingers, hissing softly.

She raised an eyebrow, feeling the strength of the arc for a moment, and said:

"This stone contains power pathways of both the Moon and intrigue. Such wild red lightning can not only destroy biological tissues, obliterate vitality but also harm the soul, destroying Spirituality... A very rare energy crystal. Jack, do you have more?"

Chen Lun looked contemplative and pondered.

"Bring them out quickly, don’t hold back. I am willing to barter with you!"

Madame Fleurette rolled her eyes.

Chen Lun immediately nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, I think I still have some."

He then swiftly took out seven or eight fist-sized pieces of Dragon Sharpstone from the Blood Poem Ring and passed them over.

Madame Fleurette grabbed them, treating his word "the last piece" as if it meant nothing, but she didn’t bother to call him out on it. Instead, she settled back at her research desk, busily tinkering with interest.

"Such quality energy crystals, if brought to Byron Kingdom or some hidden Magic Academy, would serve as the highest currency."

Madame Fleurette laughed.

"I plan to design a new inscription circuit based on this crystal and use it as an Energy Core to carve out a new Messenger..."

"Energy Core?"

Chen Lun was somewhat puzzled.

"Of course, do you think this thing is like metallic ores, which can be smelted and forged into weapons and armor? Despite its small size, shattering it to cause electric arcs to splatter will only make your fingers tingle slightly, but as long as it’s amplified by the inscription circuit and its energy decay is reduced, its power can be increased by more than tenfold!"

"So this is the correct way to use it..."

Chen Lun was momentarily startled.

"Hmm?"

Lady Fleurette cast a doubtful glance at him.

But Chen Lun coughed abruptly and pulled a colossal item out of his Blood Poem Ring, landing it on the floor with a thud.

"Tell me honestly, how much more of this Crystal Stone do you have?"

Lady Fleurette sighed, her gaze helplessly falling on the three-meter-tall golem in front of her, its body covered in Black Crystal.

"Hmm, not much left, almost all of it was used to cast this golem," Chen Lun said offhandedly.

However, Lady Fleurette rolled her eyes again; she really would be a fool if she believed Jack’s lies. Yet, she had an estimate now, knowing Jack probably still had some extra Black Crystal on hand.

"This must be some sort of sub-body created by Mysterious Objects. Although it seems decent, it’s a case of using something precious for a trivial purpose... No, more like missing the forest for the trees and wasting heavenly gifts."

Lady Fleurette glanced over the Black Crystal golem and casually commented.

"Using the Energy Core as a shell, with metal alloy as a skeleton?"

She shook her head as if she was looking at a child’s creation.

Timely, Chen Lun took out the [B-grade Mysterious Object - Hope Workshop] and explained the crafting process and conditions to Lady Fleurette. He had also picked up on something; the Black Crystal golem was a very flawed product. If he could get guidance from Lady Fleurette, perhaps he could create an even more powerful golem.

"So these energy crystals are called ’Dragon Sharpstone’... But I’ve never heard of them before, how fascinating."

Lady Fleurette toyed with the Black Crystal, saying to Chen Lun:

"Actually, you just need to use a small amount of Dragon Sharpstone as the Energy Core, and replace the metal alloy with ’Storm Crystal Stone’ as the body’s outer shell, and you could create a creation ten times more powerful than this puppet."

Chen Lun’s eyes lit up, and he asked aloud:

"Storm Crystal Stone?"

"That’s the type of crystal found on the bodies of sculpted Messengers. Its strength and toughness far exceed that of worldly steel, making it quite suitable as the material for a creation’s torso... However, this ore is also rare, currently only found under the crater of Mount Augusta, and this place is my territory..."

Lady Fleurette took out a cigarette. The quick-handed Archmage Carmen swiftly rubbed his fingers together, creating a small flame to light her cigarette.

The lady sat down on the lab bench with a plump rear, exhaled a puff of smoke, and crossed her long, beautiful legs with an enigmatic smile as she looked at Chen Lun, waiting for his reply.

Chen Lun quickly understood and tactfully said:

"You mentioned an exchange of goods earlier, but I feel that some Dragon Sharpstone should rightfully be presented to Archmage Fleurette."

As he spoke, he pointed directly at the Black Crystal golem.

"Consider it tuition, a gift for you."

"What an interesting young man."

Lady Fleurette chuckled lightly, leaving Carmen staring blankly.

She gestured nonchalantly, and numerous teal crystals clinked to the floor, piling up in front of Chen Lun.

"I won’t take advantage of you; these are for you... If it’s not enough, let me know."

"Thank you for your generosity, Lady Fleurette."

Chen Lun smiled as he stored the Storm Crystal Stones into the Blood Poem Ring, leaving only a small amount to be directly inserted into the [B-grade Mysterious Object - Hope Workshop]. Following Lady Fleurette’s advice, he only added a fist-sized piece of Dragon Sharpstone, followed by a little bit of metal alloy.

With the dark gold cube writhing, modules continuously assembled until finally swelling into a glowing hatch.

Pop—

A two-meter-tall, sturdy puppet encrusted with teal crystals walked out. Its face was featureless, smooth, with a red glow flickering at its chest.

Chen Lun eagerly scouted it, then broke into a smile.

This new type of Storm Crystal Puppet was just as Lady Fleurette said; its attribute panel far surpassed that of the Black Crystal golem, not only including its original functions but also, in melee, it was comparable to Flesh Sequence Seven.

Perhaps its healing capabilities were far inferior, but its defensive power was exceptionally strong. In short, its overall strength was completely on par with a Mid Sequence Transcendent.

’The only drawback is that it takes up ten times the [Hope Workshop] golem cap compared to the Black Crystal golem... which means, with my current Physical Strength cap of 9600, I can only create nine at most.’

Chen Lun thought to himself with some regret.

But overall, he was quite satisfied. He didn’t have to create all Storm Crystal Puppets; five would suffice, leaving the "quotas" to make forty-six Black Crystal golems as originally planned.

Such an army of golems would undoubtedly be a formidable force!

Chen Lun fiddled with the Storm Crystal Puppet in front of him, his heart brimming with anticipation.
