Two days later.
Duke's experimental workshop.
Creak!
The door was pulled open from the outside, and Dak'er, with her hair styled into a bun and an Ionian-style hairpin, walked in.
As soon as she entered, she heard a horrifying scream.
"Ah!!!"
"Father, stop it!"
"It's going to break, it's going to break!"
Dak'er was startled by the screams the moment she entered the door.
Looking forward, she saw Vali, whose Hextech Engine had been dismantled, hanging from an iron hook by Duke.
Duke was meticulously removing Vali's armor plates one by one, neatly placing them aside.
Vali, with only half his body remaining after the dismantling, continued to wail.
Arrogance squatted in the corner, occasionally glancing at the dismembered Vali, clutching a book in his hand, as if he were a thief.
"Shut up! It's just a simple upgrade, what are you howling about?!"
Duke, wearing Edith's sunglasses, held a wrench and was slowly dismantling Vali's chest plate.
"Duke?"
Dak'er tentatively spoke, Duke stopped his movements and slapped Vali on the head: "Take a break first, we'll continue later!"
"Why are you here?"
Duke, putting his tools back into the toolbox, picked up a towel from the side, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked Dak'er: "Shouldn't you be preparing for the upcoming sea voyage?"
"Jayce Talis and their experiments are over; the experiment from the east side of Piltover to the west side was a perfect success, and we plan to invest."
"Oh, really?"
Duke stroked his chin, a teasing look in his eyes: "They must have used the communicator on the day of the trial!"
"That's right, everyone was startled; a real-time communicator that can transmit sound and images in real-time holds immense significance."
"Tch, just a derivative product!"
Duke was completely indifferent to it; even though the communicator could change many things currently, as a mere derivative creation, Duke had no interest in it whatsoever.
Duke picked up an armor plate, examined it in his hand, and then took out the Sorcerer Supreme's Rune Handbook, carefully studying the rune combinations for dispelling evil and repelling undead.
"You don't seem to care at all!"
"The current communicators still have many flaws; they are unfinished products."
"Their essence is to convert sound and images into energy by changing the geometric shape of the flow control device, and transmit them to the other end, but that's all it does."
"No dedicated communication channel, not portable, troublesome to operate, simply a useless item!"
"Can you improve it?"
"Yes, but only when I have time!"
Duke put down the armor plate in his hand; he was planning an upgrade for Vali's armor, carving rune sets with lethal effects against dark creatures and undead on the front, and then plating them with a layer of edman metal.
There was still a lot of edman metal left after making the Mantis Blade; even enough to fully plate Vali's entire body with a significant amount remaining.
"So what are you busy with now?"
Dak'er came to the workbench and curiously examined the four Octopus Mechanical Arms placed on it.
The main body of the mechanical arm, like a spine, was layered and progressive, capable of exerting strong force and freely extending and retracting.
The center of the three mechanical claws was inlaid with transparent crystal lenses, and inside, the halo emitted by the Hextech Gem could be seen.
However, these four mechanical arms were not a single entity; each one had an interface at its end, and looking at Vali's external armor ports, Dak'er understood where these things were to be installed.
"Octopus Mechanical Arm, capable of lifting ten tons of heavy objects, with a Hextech Gem laser weapon at the top, capable of firing extremely powerful lasers to cause damage!"
Duke noticed Dak'er's expression and straightforwardly went to her side to introduce his weapon.
"This thing was originally designed to be directly implanted into the human body for use, but I disassembled it and modified it into Vali's external armament."
"It's very strong. Can it be mass-produced?"
"It can be, but the cost is a bit high, and the user needs to undergo human body modification surgery!"
"The Ferros Family has never feared sacrifice!"
"Got it, got it. When I return from Bilgewater, you find me a batch of guinea pigs, and I'll help you produce a batch."
