Chapter 262 Scarecrow Weta

"Ha! I knew that there must be a scarecrow here!" Ma Yun clapped her hands and laughed.

Gao Fei also looked at Jiang Feng and smiled.

All three had read The Wizard of Oz in the original books, and of course understood what the Scarecrow meant to Dorothy Gale's adventures.

"Mr. Dwarf, call the Scarecrow, we need his help," Goofy said.

"Hmm...sorry, there are two small troubles about Weta the Scarecrow."

The dwarf rubbed his red rosacea nose, his face showing embarrassment.

"In the first place, our friend Vita, clever as he was, by some misfortune, had become unsure of his wit, and was always lamenting that his head was stuffed with straw, and that he lacked real wisdom, because of this This kind of inferiority complex, even if he thinks of a good idea, he may not have the courage to say it."

"I sympathize with Weta's mentality, and I will try to encourage him to cheer up. What's the next trouble?" Goofy asked the dwarf.

"Just this morning, when Vita was assisting Old John to drive away the trappers, unfortunately, he was seriously injured, and the wooden pole supporting his body was broken. If you want him to help, you must first try to repair his spine so that he can stand again. stand up."

With that, the dwarf turned and pointed to a big tree by the edge of the field.

Gao Fei looked over, and sure enough, he saw a scarecrow sitting with his back against a big tree, with slightly funny facial features drawn on the head sewn in coarse cloth pockets, and his upper body was limp and crooked to one side, looking very pitiful.

"Xiaoyun, it's your turn." Jiang Feng said in a low voice.

"Hey! Repairing broken constructs, this is an artificer's forte, look at me!"

Ma Yun went under the tree, straightened the broken wooden bracket of the scarecrow, and performed a "repair technique" to restore the bracket to its original state.

System prompt: Successfully repair the Scarecrow Vita, and get 100 experience points as rewards!
The restored scarecrow stood up and bowed deeply to Ma Yun, and the mouth painted on his face spoke out.

"Ms. Mage, thank you very much for your help. My name is Vita. May I help you?"

"Great, Vita! We need you to find the monster hiding in the cornfield!"

"Okay, Ms. Mage, I will follow your orders until my bones are bitten off again by man-catch grass."

Vita's voice sounded a little melancholy.

"By the way, this guy is not an ordinary construct, right?" Jiang Feng asked Gao Fei in a low voice, "We have seen constructs before, such as the 'activated armor' in the East Witch's Castle, but they are not as eloquent as Vita."

Gao Fei also had the same question, so he opened the astrolabe to check the data of Scarecrow Vita.

"No wonder Weta can talk, it turns out to be an Enlightenment Construct." Gao Fei suddenly said.

The so-called "enlightenment construct" refers to a constructed creature that has been magically opened to free consciousness and thinking ability. Its intelligence level is much higher than that of ordinary constructed creatures. It can accumulate knowledge and experience through learning. You can get a super job.

Weta is a very rare "enlightenment construct", but unfortunately his foundation is too poor.

The "activated scarecrow" is almost the cheapest and most fragile construct in the world. It is usually placed in the forest and fields, walking around with a broom to drive away birds that peck at fruits and grains. Used to frighten wild beasts, but powerless against large supernatural plants like 'man trappers'.

A high level of intelligence cannot directly enhance Vita's combat effectiveness.

Theoretically speaking, a smart activated scarecrow like him would not be foolishly searching for the man-hunting grass, but could always use his brains and come up with some strategies to defeat the enemy.

However, the embarrassing thing is that Weta has been cursed for some reason, and has disadvantages in all checks related to intelligence, which makes his intelligence attribute of up to 18 points useless.

Affected by the curse, even if they can come up with some clever tricks, they may not have the courage to say it out. In the end, they will silently obey the master's unskilled instructions like other ordinary constructs without brains.

For example, this morning, Old John forced Vita to go deep into the wheat field to explore the way and help him search for trapping weeds.

Weta knew very well that doing so would be tantamount to suicide, but he suspected that his worries were superfluous. He didn't dare to question Old John's actions face to face, and chose to accept it. As a result, Old John lost his life, and Weta himself was almost scrapped.

"Weta, I found that you seem to be under some kind of curse, so it's not convenient for Fang to reveal it. Why?" Gao Fei tried to inquire.

"Sir, to tell you the truth, the question you raised has deeply hurt the scar in my heart."

Vita sighed, and went on reminiscing about the past.

"Many years ago, I was a smart and happy scarecrow. The bad thing was that I was so smart that I became complacent and always showed off my wit in front of people. Whenever I participated in a quiz or quick calculation competition, others could only do it." Compete for No.2."

"In this way, my reputation grew and spread throughout Mengqijin Township. People came to me from far away, poured out their troubles to me, and hoped to use my wisdom to solve problems."

"As for me, intoxicated by the aura of a wise man, I always rack my brains to help others make up their minds, thinking how amazing I am!"

"As time passed, my reputation reached the ears of Ivanola, the witch of the East, and things turned bad!"

"That insidious and jealous old witch, wearing a pair of magical silver shoes on her feet, flew to the farm where I worked in a strong wind, and said that she wanted to see with her own eyes whether I was really as smart as the legend said. "

Speaking of which, Weta took a deep look at the pair of silver high heels on Dorothy Gale's feet, wanted to say something, but held back.

"What happened later?" Ma Yun asked curiously.
