Chapter 266: The North Has the Divine Gear, the South Has the Undead Army

Seaside cave.

After Nana woke up, she looked between Link and Vance. Finally, she looked at Link and opened her arms. “Clothes gone,” she said. “Nana wants clothes.”

Link was Nana’s highest authority, and she would go to him whenever she needed something. Link quickly took out the feminine leather armor he had prepared beforehand. Nana was actually ungendered, but her outer appearance was feminine to fool the enemies. It wasn’t good to let her run around naked.

Unexpectedly, Nana shook her head. “War kilt. I want war kilt.”

Link didn’t understand why a magic puppet would care about clothes.

Thinking for a bit, Vance said, “I got it. In battle, clothing greatly affects movement. The magic puppet’s combat experience has gotten used to the variable of the war kilt. That’s why it would make this choice instinctively.”

However, a war kilt wasn’t the best for movement. Link put the leather on Nana. “We wear this now.”

This was the command from the highest authority, so Nana accepted it. What was interesting though was that she let Link put it on her without moving but she kept pouting, seemingly unhappy.

“You’ll get used to it.” Link knew this was programmed, but Nana was too mesmerizing. Seeing her like this, he comforted her reflexively.

The armor was blue too. It looked like leather, but it was actually a special type of metal. It was resilient and had high magic resistance. It had a high buffering capacity toward attacks from the outer world and was the first layer of defense for Nana’s body.

After putting on the armor, Link helped Nana put on boots and gloves. He hung two swords on the weapon hook at her waist, and then he stepped back. “Okay,” he said. “Get up and take a few steps.”

Nana nimbly jumped from the enchantment podium. She landed on the ground and walked around.

She was now 5’5″, and her curves were perfect. Wearing the dark blue and finely made leather armor with two magnificent weapons, she looked like a handsome warrior.

At the side, Vance commented, “Her movements are smooth. There isn’t any sign of stiffness. Her eyes are coordinated too, and her skin looks no different than humans. From the outside, she basically looks like a regular person.

Link was satisfied as well. Turning toward Vance, he said, “I’ll take her back to Scorched Ridge. My Mage Tower should be done now. I’ll find time to make the Flesh Magic Puppet for you. Give me a sketch image of what you want the outside to look like.”

“I’m flattered.” Vance chuckled and thought for a moment. He pointed his wand in the air, and an image appeared. It was an average-looking man. “This is what I looked like in life. Just use it.”

Link studied it and nodded. “Got it.” Without wasting any more time, he waved at Nana. “Let’s go.”

“Yes, Master.” Nana followed behind Link, steps in sync with his.

But just as Link reached the cave entrance, an unexpected voice rang out. “Lord, so you’re hiding here! I had such a hard time looking for you!”

Link was shocked. Vance immediately got into a defensive position, ready to fight whoever was outside. Link stopped him with a wave. “Let’s test Nana’s abilities.”

He could tell who it was from the voice, but he wanted to test Nana. Retreating, he said to Nana, “Send the guy outside to the ground but don’t hurt him.”

“Yes, Master.”

With a clang, Nana grasped a short sword and activated. There was a boom, and she disappeared from Link. It was the speed and decisive actions he was familiar with.

Half a second later, there was a shocked cry outside. “Hey, who is this? No, what is this…!”

Mid-sentence, there were clangs of weapons, and after three seconds, there was a muffled thud. “Impossible!” the man wailed outside. “What is this? Let go! Let go of me! Ah!”

Link walked out at this time. He saw Nana dressed in her dark blue leather on the beach, her hair pulled in a ponytail (buffering the damage to the magic puppet’s heart), with a foot on Skinorse’s chest.

Her legs were long and curvy, looking even better in the leather pants. However, these slender legs had terrifying strength. Under her foot, Skinorse struggled in vain. He was immobile as if he had been nailed to the beach.

Seeing Link, he smiled wryly. “It’s just a Lich, not a big deal. You won’t kill me, right?”

“Nana, let him go.” Nana stepped back and pouted with her red lips. “Master,” she said, “This opponent is as weak as a chicken.”

Skinorse was speechless. He clutched his chest, heartbroken.

Link was speechless too. He had designed this language set for Nana so she could communicate. These instigative phrases were used to destroy the opponent’s confidence. He didn’t expect Nana to use it now in such perfect context, completely destroying Skinorse’s self-esteem.

Face pale, Skinorse looked cautiously at Nana as if scared she would do something. Nana glared and pursed her lips. She jutted her chin out in disdain. “Weakling, are you fearing me, the queen?”

Her voice was crisp and lovely. She was looking down on him but still seemed playful. Skinorse clutched his chest again. He looked mesmerized, and he sighed in regret. “If only she’ wasn’t a magic puppet!”

Link laughed. “Her name is Nana. As you can see, she’s a magic puppet. She saved my life in the North.”

“Nana? That’s a good name. Her appearance has gone to waste. I was almost won over by her.” With that, Skinorse walked around Nana to Link’s side. He peered at Link suspiciously. “Why are you with a Lich? To be honest, the majority of these undying things aren’t good news.”

This interested Link. In the game, Skinorse had traveled the world and had vast knowledge. He was very open and would never judge someone too quickly. Now, based on his words, Link realized that his personality was the same as in the game.

He laughed. “You yourself said ‘majority.’ There’s also a minority.”

“Fine, that Lich does seem different.” Skinorse glanced at Vance, who had exited the cave, and tipped his hat.
