Chapter 228 Activated Armor

The identification results are not complete. Only when Dorothy's wizard level reaches the synchronization requirement, the magic power corresponding to the silver shoes will be revealed.

However, everyone has read the original work of "The Wizard of Oz" when they were young. It is not difficult to guess that the magic awakened after the silver shoes complete the final synchronization is either flying or teleporting. In short, it can make the heroine realize her wish to go home.

Gao Fei remembered that Ma Yun's mechanic has a unique professional ability, which can analyze magic items, extract the corresponding spell configuration from them, and transcribe it to the spell book, just like copying a spell scroll.

Ma Yun has not yet obtained a spell book for copying magic, but out of curiosity, Gao Fei still suggested that she try to analyze the "foot oil" attached to the silver shoes.

Ma Yun tried it according to his instructions, but the result was regrettable.

"Brother Fei, the system prompts 'Analysis failed'! It also says that I can only analyze 0-ring magic now. The configuration of 'lubricating the soles of feet' is beyond my knowledge. I have to upgrade to at least level 3 before I can analyze this 1-ring magic."

"In other words, your wizard can perform a few rings of magic at most, and then analyze all the enchantment processes that are not higher than this number of rings from the magic guide or construct?"

"That's what I understand too!"

"Okay, put on the magic shoes first, and then search other rooms in the castle. The second key plot prop, the old witch's magic book, should be nearby."

Ma Yun put on the silver shoes and was surprised to find that the magic shoes would automatically adjust the size. They were a bit big when they were first put on, but they fit well after walking a few steps.

She explored the castle and saw a wall made of thick wooden boards not far away. There was a crack in the wall, and she could barely squeeze through sideways. Opposite was the study of the old witch Ivanora.

Through the hole in the roof, a ray of sunlight shone down.

Ma Yun looked out and soon noticed a majestic full-body armored man holding a sword in both hands against the wall, which looked like a common decoration in a castle of Western nobles.

There was a desk next to the plate armor.

The lamp originally placed on the table had been knocked over by the accident just now, and the lamp oil spilled on the table, burning some books. Sparks could be vaguely seen in the embers of parchment.

A thick book with a leather cover fell on the floor near the desk and survived the fire. It emitted a slight magical aura in the dim light. It was the plot prop that Dorothy was looking for.

"Brother Fei, Sister Feng, I saw the magic book!" Ma Yun was excited but did not relax her vigilance, "But I think this task is not that simple. There may be a trap nearby!"

"Xiao Yun, you guessed right. Did you notice the plate armor next to the desk? I just used the star disk to detect it. It is an "active armor". If you get within 20 meters of it, the alert function of the active armor will be activated, and the sword will be drawn to chase you!"

Jiang Feng warned in a deep voice.

"No wonder! I've always felt that the armor is weird, it's not a good thing! I'll try to lure it away, and then take the opportunity to run over and take the magic book."

Ma Yun took two steps back, kept a safe distance from the "living armor", picked up an ink bottle on the spot, and threw it over.

Pop!

The ink bottle hit the plate armor and immediately shattered. The splashed ink slowly flowed along the smooth silver armor, and the plate armor still stood quietly by the wall, without any reaction or damage.

"What the hell! It doesn't move at all, is it really alive?"

Ma Yun looked at the plate armor and talked to himself in confusion.

Gao Fei frowned, opened the star disk, and checked the details of this "living armor".

……

Constructs do not have a Constitution attribute, but when calculating their hit points, the value of "Reduced Armor" can be equivalent to the Constitution modifier.

According to the investigation results, the "living armor" is a lowest-level constructed creature, without the ability to think independently, and can only perform the alert mission according to the program preset by the owner.

In addition, the perception radius of the "living armor" is only 20 meters (60 feet). Even if it is hit by an attack from outside this distance, it cannot counterattack.

Unfortunately, Ma Yun's mechanic has no other weapons to use except the scissors in her hand, and has not learned any long-range attack spells.

If she just stands at a distance and throws stones, with her pitiful 8 points of strength attribute, she can hardly penetrate the defense of the living armor, which is equivalent to a waste of effort.

Rush up and stab with scissors?

It is purely suicidal.

Gao Fei turned his eyes and looked at the pair of shiny silver high heels on the feet of the young mage, and thought of a good idea.

"Richest man, the magic shoes on your feet can cast 'foot grease' once a day, which will double your movement speed to 60 feet per round within 10 minutes."

"The animated armor is bulky and only moves 25 feet per round. It will definitely not catch up with you who have 'foot grease'. You can use your speed to lure it to a place far away from the desk, and then run back to pick up the magic book."

"This method is good, but the room is very narrow and the floor is full of debris. Be extra careful when luring the enemy." Jiang Feng warned.

"Okay, I'll try it!"

Ma Yun knocked her heels, and the pair of silver high heels under her feet immediately emerged with magical auras, turning on "foot grease".

The girl walked towards the desk with light steps.

As soon as she entered the warning range, the animated armor immediately turned her head and looked at her. Behind the iron mask, two balls of ghost-like light appeared.

Then, the armor drew its sword, took heavy steps with clanging sounds, and approached the girl directly.

Ma Yun held her breath, hid behind the bookshelf, and only half of her face was exposed to observe the position of the animated armor.

When it approached, she immediately turned her head and ran to the other side of the room diagonally.

After two circles back and forth, she lured the animated armor to the door.

Ma Yun tried to push the door, and it creaked open.

Outside the door was a dim corridor, empty and without a human figure, and at the end of the corridor was a staircase leading to the lower level of the castle.
