Chapter 1309: Fatal Invitation

They were all adept at what they did, and they simply lacked direction. Pinocchio, for example, would be one of the best Artisans even thousands of years later in terms of theoretical research. His progress was only slow because he had been on the wrong track. He spent 99% of his time on wrong ideas. Now that Lin Yun had given him the right idea to work on, the other party would accomplish something very soon.

Leaving the Raging Flame Plane, Lin Yun entered the puppet plane. He arrived at the safest place that the Starry Sky College had found earlier. Around him were tall mountains that were puppet graveyards. The mountains were piled up on the parts of abandoned puppets. Those parts were all from low-level alchemy puppets, and were made of magic iron or similar materials.

“That’s very strange. I’ve investigated with the Gilded Rose’s connections. It seems that the three family leaders made the decision out of the blue. The people in their family who tried to stop them have been locked up…”

Faleau worriedly reported the problem to Lin Yun.
