Chapter 22 It Might Not Be The Case For You! (2/2)
The puppets on the continent were divided into two types, animate and inanimate puppets.
An animate puppet required a puppet master to form a contract with an intelligent living being and establish a spiritual connection before transforming the living being into the puppet master’s own puppet.
No matter what living being it was, once it transformed into a puppet, everything related to it would be bound to the puppet master, and it would die if the puppet master died.
But, it isn’t completely a bad thing to become an animate puppet. Another great distinguishing feature of animate puppets was growth. Animate puppets were able to receive benefits when a puppet master became stronger, and at the same time, they were able to rely on the method of improving a puppet to improve themselves.
All in all, it was the utilization of freedom in exchange for the chance to become stronger.
But, most living beings were unwilling to become puppets, so, the number of animate puppets were very few when compared to inanimate puppets.
Inanimate puppets were comparatively simpler, and when inanimate puppets were mentioned, then Puppetsmiths had to be mentioned. Simply speaking, inanimate puppets were tools constructed by Puppetsmiths, and the quality of the puppet varied according to the ability of its creator.
Moreover, when compared to animate puppets, even though inanimate puppets lack flexibility and the ability to act on their own, inanimate puppets were much easier to control and repair. Moreover, inanimate puppets had an exceedingly attractive property.
Inheritance!
The death of a puppet master would cause an animate puppet to perish but an inanimate puppet wouldn’t. So, there were numerous clans on the continent that had one or two inanimate puppets that were passed down from generation to generation, and these puppets were usually extremely strong!
“I don’t know as well. Huskie seems to be innately capable of being immune to harmful effects, or it might be because he’s too stupid and the heavens gave him some compensation.” As soon as Bai Xiaofei finished speaking, Huskie instantly barked at him with displeasure.
“Alright, alright, alright! You aren’t stupid, you’re the most intelligent. You’re the most intelligent husky in the entire world, alright?”
Huskie instantly barked happily when faced with Bai Xiaofei’s consolation that was extremely forced.
Mo Ka and the others couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat when they saw this.
Sure enough, what Big Brother Fei said is correct….
“Right, do any of you know where’s the place to bathe?” Bai Xiaofei was stunned for a moment as he suddenly recalled this critical problem, and them Mo Ka and the others were stunned as well.
I… really don’t know…
“I don’t know where the baths are, but I saw a river outside the academy during the test today….” Wu Chi paused for a moment, and then he lit up their final beacon of hope. “But, the Infinite Mountain Range is outside the academy…. If we go there….”
Mo Kai hesitated to speak yet the expression on his face had already explained everything. Unlike in the day where there were members of the academy in charge of safety, the Infinite Mountain Range was extremely dangerous at night….
“If we don’t go, then we’ll be stinking like this forever. Are you sure that our Head Teacher will be able to tolerate us tomorrow?” Mo Ka’s expression instantly turned pale as soon as Bai Xiaofei finished speaking.
Even though he’d merely met Xue Ying once, her insane character had already entered deep into his heart. Not to mention such a strong smell, she might even kick all four of them out if they smelt a little strange.
“Big Brother Fei, it actually isn’t so dangerous outside, right?” The consolation that came from Bai Xiaofei had already become Mo Ka’s final hope, but unfortunately, he placed his hope at the wrong place.
“The three of us will surely be fine, but your physical ability is so bad, so it might not be the case for you.”
