Chapter 163: Performance of Ex Machina
Chapter 163: Performance of Ex Machina
Let's ask them one by one. First, let's start with Machina Armament.
"The Machina Armament skill is required to equip the armament that we, Ex Machina, can handle"
Oh! There are special weapons! I don't think Ix has a weapon.
"Which reminds me, Ix has no weapon, is there any weapon you can handle?"
"If I use Analysis, I can handle everything, but I cannot use martial arts used by humans"
Arya. So she can't use martial arts? But it's great that she can handle all weapons. I can never use a bow, spear, or axe. I've never even used a staff before I started the game... but I was worried about it.
"What does it mean to use Analysis?"
"The Analysis skill allows you to analyze your opponent and reflect it back to yourself if necessary"
"You mean you can analyze the enemy's movements and reflect them back to yourself?"
"That's right"
That's great. In other words, if she can analyze my mentor's battle, can she imitate him? Well, I don't think the old man would allow it.
"Then, what is detection?"
"Detection is a skill that comes standard with our ears. It allows us to understand the position, number and strength of the enemy. However, with my current ears, the range of detection is limited"
"How much range?"
"From here to the town gate"
That sounds like a lot, doesn't it? But considering the vastness of the field, I'm not so sure. However, this detection skill...I didn't care about denying the existence value of Koihi and the others. Well, I can't keep using Ix all the time and I'll still need them.
And now for the next one.
"Is the Conversion skill for wearing clothes?"
"No. Originally it was a skill to replace body parts and equip clothes"
"Replace body parts? What do you mean?"
"For example, the ears we talked about earlier, if I replace them with better ears, the effect will increase"
Ah, that's what...the difference with the Machina Armament is whether it's a weapon or not.
"But how did you get dressed?"
"I analyzed Master's image and equipped it with Conversion"
Can she do that? When Setia hears it, she trembles and speaks.
"In other words, are you a Takuto-sama dress-up doll!?"
"Setia...I feel like you need to keep silent. The story derails"
Don't say anything strange. Good grief...
"Can you analyze my image and do that?"
"It is possible, since Master and I are already connected through the Link Skill"
I feel like I'm being casually told something scary.
"...Sounds obscene"
"Eh!?"
Setia! Don't say obscene! Don't be surprised, Ion!
"What is the nature of this link skill?"
"It's originally a skill for registering a master. And it's also essential for recharging magic power"
"What's magic recharge?"
"It is a skill that recharges us Ex Machina with magic power. We Ex Machina move by magic power. When we run out of magic power, we go into sleep mode"
Yes. I somehow understood the story. In other words, the link skill is a skill that connects a tube to pour magic power into Ex Machina and the magic recharge is a skill that returns the poured magic power to itself.
"The magic power that is poured also changes my attributes"
Oh. That's great! So she can change her attribute depending on the opponent? That's awesome!
"However, in order to recharge the magic power of a different attribute, the recharged magic power must be reduced to zero"
In other words, you can't mix and match. That's not an option.
"To recharge again, I will use this capsule. If I had a special part for it, I wouldn't need it, but for now, I have to use this capsule"
"Ah. So this capsule is necessary"
"Yes. It is necessary because it can recharge and repair me. In addition, it is equipped with a magic power battery, so I can extract my magic power and if I charge it beforehand, I can recharge at my will"
Oh. This capsule was a super useful item. I have to take good care of it, but I don't want to leave it here all the time.
"Shall I put this capsule in Ix's room on the second floor?"
"Is there a problem here?"
"Maybe not, but it might get touched by a lot of people"
"I agree to move"
Ah, she doesn't like it, does she?
So I set up the capsule in Ix's room on the second floor. Then we went back downstairs and resumed our conversation.
"Do you know where Ix's weapons and parts are?"
"They're in the mothership"
Mothership...no way.
"If we attack the entrance to the mothership, will anything appear?"
"A defense unit will appear to eliminate the enemy"
I knew it. I'm not sure if that floating island is the mothership of the Ex Machina, but I need to get to that floating island, but I don't know how to get there.
I don't see anything like that in the list of contribution points. If that's the case, then I'm not sure if it's the war merit points. I looked at the list and found it. It's an item called the Old Island transfer stone. From the name, I guess it's an item to transfer to that island.
The required points are 10,000 pt, which is surprisingly large...but that island had plenty of ingredients such as apples, oranges and pond smelt, as well as strong monsters. Plus, it's the mothership of Ex Machina. It's worth getting.
Since I'm going to go out of my way, I'm going to go ahead and look at the war merit points and there are a lot of weapons and such. The most expensive is the Astaroth Blade at 100,000 pt. I'm not sure if it's an Astaroth drop item or not. You mean I have to defeat her? Without relying on the Robot? I can't do that.
There are many other strong weapons like curse-named weapons or poison weapons. Many of them are related to Astaroth, after all. And there are no Robot weapons. It's a shame.
Then there are skill scrolls. Skills that I've never seen before are still expensive. Weight reduction looks interesting. Maybe it's something that reduces the weight of weapons and armor. It's a very important skill for people like me who don't have enough strength to use the new weapons.
There was also a reward for us summoners. That's the skill orb. It seems that skill scrolls are for players and skill orbs are for summoners.
"Hee. So summoned beasts can get any skill they want. That's interesting"
I said to myself.
""""Eh!?""""
Lily and the others are super responsive. Ix is unresponsive. I wonder if this can't be helped.
