Chapter 1074: Chapter 849, Alchemy Puppet Chapter 1074: Chapter 849, Alchemy Puppet Wu Heng also cast his gaze onto the doll.

[Alchemy Puppet (Magical Prop)]

(Description: A creation of a high-level Deceit Puppet Master. Apart from being used as a 'puppeteer's doll,' it also has the function of bearing a soul.)

Magical Prop.

It was made by a profession called the Deceit Puppet Master.

The whole doll is about one meter twenty-three centimeters tall, wearing an ordinary black dress.

With black hair and eyebrows on its head, its facial features are distinct and finely realistic, and the color and texture somewhat resemble the white of ivory.

Its limbs are slender; the joints show metallic materials, and some intricate magic array patterns are visible inside.

The body is a combination of metal and ivory materials, intricately and tightly interconnected.

Wu Heng looked up at Xiao Xiao and said, “Xiao Xiao, this must be the gift from Lilith.”

Glenda and Bella also turned to look.

Xiao Xiao frowned slightly, then said, “Although I'm happy to receive a gift from Lilith, isn't this doll made too realistically? It's a bit scary. I still prefer teddy bears or even a big white goose would do.”

Wu Heng explained, “No, this is a magical prop, prepared by Lilith for your possession.”

With that said, Glenda looked at the doll, then at Xiao Xiao, “Now that you mention it, the doll does look somewhat like Xiao Xiao.”

“Really? Does it look like me?” Xiao Xiao became curious.

Bella also nodded, “It is quite similar, it should have been crafted based on your appearance.”

Xiao Xiao then turned to Wu Heng, “Uncle, how do I possess it?”

“Let me check it out first.” Wu Heng's gaze fell on the few items that the doll was holding in its embrace.

A Skill Book[Decree of Deprivation], an old notebook with notes and experiences of a Necromancer written inside upon flipping it open.

Lastly, a folded piece of paper that has become wrinkled due to humidity.

When the paper was unfolded, it contained an introduction to the doll.

After all, Lilith wasn't sure if he could see the description of the prop, so she still wrote down the uses of the doll clearly.

The content of the introduction explained that the doll is a creation by a Deceit Puppet Master and has the effect of bearing a soul.

Deceit Puppet Masters often use this method to combine a controllable soul with a doll to form an independently acting puppet.

At the same time, such a doll would create memories for the soul it bears.

Once a soul has occupied it, it would be difficult for other souls to use the same doll unless the internal array pattern is redrawn.

Reading this, Wu Heng's eyebrows arched.

This means that once the doll is used, it's bound to the ghost.

Even if it's left there, other ghosts can't use it.

Is this a necessary feature of the magical prop, or did Lilith have it added especially for Xiao Xiao's use?

The following steps detail how to 'complete' the doll.

Similar to the steps for activating a 'Magic Building,' gold solution must be used to connect at a few designated points.

After carefully checking to ensure there's no issue, Wu Heng lifted his head, while the other three ghosts still waited beside him.

Especially Xiao Xiao, with wide eyes full of expectation.

“Uncle, how is it?”

“Got it, the gold solution needs to be applied to several array pattern connection points.” Wu Heng explained.

“Then hurry up and start, Uncle!” Xiao Xiao urged.

“Okay.” Wu Heng activated the [Mansion Skill], and began constructing a forge inside.

Next, he took out a block of gold from the Space Ring and threw it in, quickly forming a solution.

Wu Heng placed the 'doll' aside and then constructed several necessary tools.

“Uncle, be careful, don't damage it.”

Ignoring Xiao Xiao's caution, he began using the tools, adding the gold solution to the designated connection points.

When the last point was completed, a stream of magic light encircled the doll's entire body, and then vanished.

“It's ready, Xiao Xiao, try to possess it.” Wu Heng said with a smile.

“Alrighty!” Xiao Xiao responded and dived straight into the body of the doll.

Crack~!

Crack~Crack!

The doll inside the wooden box suddenly opened its eyes, revealing eyes like black gems.

The body then began to tremble violently, its knees bending as it jolted upright to stand.

Following that, the body started to move stiffly, like the lowest level of Zombies, with jerky and rigid motions.

After walking a few steps, it gradually became more agile.

“Uncle, how is it?”

The doll's mouth opened, and it spoke.

My gosh!

It can even talk.

Wu Heng and the other two ghosts also showed expressions of surprise.

“Pretty good, do you feel anything?” Wu Heng asked in return.

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment, “I feel pretty good, it's just that the reactions of this body seem a bit slow.”

“You'll get used to it after a while,” Wu Heng said.

“Mhm, mhm, awesome, I have my own body now,” Xiao Xiao said happily.

The other two ghosts, with envy on their faces, floated in mid-air, constantly looking on.

Then, Xiao Xiao added, “Uncle, can I use the radio to talk to Sister Lilith?”

“Sure, make sure to thank her properly.”

“Okay, I'm heading to the radio,” Xiao Xiao cheered, and ran straight out the door.

Thump thump thump~!

“Master, it seems a little girl ran into the radio room,” Mini's voice came through.

Wu Heng opened the door and saw Mini and Robey, and by the door of the radio room, several skeletons armed with weapons were standing by on alert.

“That's Xiao Xiao, she got a magical prop that lets her use a doll as a body,” Wu Heng explained.

The house maids knew about the two ghosts.

One was Xiao Xiao, whose presence as a little ghost had been known for a long time, who also conveyed the message to Mini during the last attack on Kerim.

The second known ghost was Bella, who they had never formally met, but her existence was learned through the story “Tavern Maid Bella” in the newspapers.

“Oh, I see,” Mini said with a look of surprise in her eyes, but she complied.

With a wave of her hand, the skeletons grouped around the door all returned to their posts.

“Later, call the Skeleton Tailor over to make a couple of outfits for Xiao Xiao.”

“Okay,” Mini glanced at the radio then said, “Xiao Xiao ran so fast just now, I didn't get a clear look at what she looked like.”

“She's using the radio now, you can have a look when she comes out.”

“Sure, master. From now on, we'll take Xiao Xiao with us to play shuttlecock,” suggested Robey.

“Okay.”

Mini and Robey smiled and then went back downstairs.

Inside the radio room.

Xiao Xiao reached out and tapped the Skeleton Investigator beside her, “You get up first, I need to talk.”

The Skeleton Investigator moved aside, and Xiao Xiao flicked on the radio switch and picked up the microphone, excitedly shouting: “Hello! Sister Lilith, what are you doing?”

Soon, Lilith's voice came from the other side, “Xiao Xiao?”

“Yep, I got a gift, thank you, sister,” Xiao Xiao said very sweetly.

Lilith raised her eyebrows on the side.

She thought to herself, finally, she didn't have to listen to being affectionately called sister in Wu Heng's voice.

She had even gotten somewhat used to being addressed that way.

Then, with a laugh in her voice, “Glad you like it, next time I have a chance, I'll buy you other dolls of different heights and body shapes, after all, you'll eventually grow up.”

“You're the best, sister,” Xiao Xiao said coquettishly.

In the study.

As soon as Wu Heng came back, he saw Glenda and Bella, with their eyes wide open looking at him.

In their eyes, there was some expectation.

Wu Heng said with a smile, “Don't worry, when I reach Level 20, I'll find a way to get these kinds of dolls for you both. Our family has money, this isn't a problem.”

Directly ordering different dolls could easily lead people to speculate about the number of ghosts Wu Heng has.

Now, with The Holy Court being contentious, it wasn't the time to order dolls.

As for ordering two other dolls through Lilith, to tell the truth, he didn't want the other party to know either.

Exposing too many secrets wasn't a good thing.

Glenda showed a smile, “You're thinking right, and, anyway, we're not in a hurry.”

Bella added, “Just as well, we'd like to think about what sort of style we want.”

“What's there to think about, just a regular style would do,” Wu Heng said.

“Since we've got the chance, of course, we want a change,” Glenda said.

Following suit, Bella said, “I want to make my legs look longer.”

Man, they've even considered this.

Using it like a beauty filter, huh.

“Whatever you guys want, just don't make it too weird when the time comes,” Wu Heng reminded them.

The two ghosts nodded, floating aside and continued discussing the doll matters.

It was evident that Xiao Xiao's doll body was quite attractive to them too.

It certainly added some interesting things to the life of the ghosts.

Seeing the ghosts busy with their own matters.

Wu Heng sat down at the desk, and took out another Skill Book and notes.
