Chapter 5: The Battle of the Golems

Battle of the Golems.

This is a legendary event in the early days of the Sage Havoc, caused by an unknown group of adventurers who went deep into a ruin near the Gobi Desert. There are a large number of ancient ruins in the material plane, and there is no problem in exploring the ruins. But I don't know why this relic is so well preserved. After the group of adventurers entered, the internal defense mechanism was triggered, causing a large number of golems buried underground to activate, attacking any nearby creatures for some reason.

Sauron doesn't have many memories of the battle of the golems.

Because he hadn't personally participated in the Battle of the Golems, he was barely fighting the Gnolls at the professional level at that time, and only the top adventurers were able to join it, and it was only a relatively peripheral battle. Sauron remembered that more than 600 people had died, and one of the diamond golems had finally been killed, the highest-level creature killed by adventurers in the early days of the Sage Havoc.

The Battle of the Golems took place in the next area.

The exact location of Sauron is not very clear, but he knows that it is the outskirts of the original Arcane Empire, which means that this underground ruins are not formed by the fall of the floating city, but an ordinary city that was buried directly due to the disaster.

A legendary Juggernaut emerged from this battle.

Sauron vaguely remembered that the legendary sword master did not seem to be from the south, but a cultivator from the eastern realm.

Juggernaut and Warrior Monk share a lot of similarities.

There are far fewer spellcasters in the Eastern Country than on the mainland, but there are not many other professions at all, and the number of advanced sword saints that are relatively rare on the mainland side will also increase significantly. Even the Sword Saints who practiced in the southern region would choose to travel to the Eastern Country after basically reaching a certain level.

- "Advanced teleportation!" ”

With a spell aura. The figure of Sauron appeared in the city known as the Pearl of the Desert.

The caster's advantage on the road is still much stronger than that of other professions, not to mention that Sauron's spell casting ability has been greatly improved now, and the wizard's class level and the arcane's class level have opened a back door for him because of a certain goddess, although it does not give him additional abilities like the 'archmage' advancement, but it has been able to calculate spell slots according to the total class level of 15.

In simple terms.

It's that Sauron now has an extra 8-ring spell slot on his basic class ability.

But.

His total spell slot is naturally more than a little bit, and if it weren't for his own ability, it wouldn't be enough to master legendary-level spells. The legendary spell slot that Sauron has now can also come in handy.

"Goddess of Magic's Favor [Innate Ability]: As a spellcaster, you are one of the most fortunate ones, and the Goddess of Magic's Favor has opened a door for you inside the web, making it easier for you to use the power of the web. You have mastered the magic net far beyond the other spellcasters, and the mysteries of the inner magic net are also open to you. +1 to all spell slots, which automatically grants Mana Mastery, Spell Penetration, and Arcane Proficiency Specialty Abilities. ”

Sauron has a lot of special expertise on him.

These include the blessings of the goddess of doom and the blessings of the goddess of the sea, but both of these blessings are only of a very low level of ability.

The goddess of magic bestows far beyond the blessings of these two gods, and Sauron possesses some of the abilities of the Chosen One. +1 for all spell slots is just one of the powerful abilities, and the three additional specialties of mana mastery, spell penetration, and arcane mastery are the real power, which is equivalent to increasing Sauron's spellcasting effect by more than 50% out of thin air.

Mana mastery strengthens the caster's ability to control spells.

Spell penetration increases the lethality and effect of all spells in the caster.

Arcane mastery directly increases the speed of spell casting, and increases mastery of any spell. Under normal circumstances, Arcane proficiency is a very difficult specialty to master.

………………

Unlike the last time he visited, Sauron easily noticed that the desert city was now much in ruins.

The terrible weather changes in the Death Desert have severely affected the eastern trade routes, and there are basically no caravans coming and going, so naturally there are not many floating populations. The streets look a bit empty. More than 30 percent of the shops are closed, and even the patrolling guards are a little listless.

Sauron didn't stop here. Once he had determined his direction, he hurried towards the spot where the Battle of the Golems had begun.

What exactly to do with the Battle of the Golems is a question.

One is to wait for the time to arrive and see what happens after the Golem War breaks out, and the other is to fix the problem before the Golem War breaks out.

One of the difficulties of the latter is that Sauron only knows the general direction and does not know the specific location.

There are many ancient ruins in the desert area.

The core territory of the Arcane Empire is this desert, which has become barren, and although Sauron has a map given by the paladins, he still lacks enough information.

………………

"Master!"

"Is this what we're looking for?"

In the yellow sand. The group gradually approached the sand dunes in front of them, which was a barren Gobi area, to the west was the territory of the orcs, and to the south they could reach the junction of humans and elves. Because of the influence of energy radiation, this land has not been suitable for plant growth for thousands of years. You can only occasionally see some vegetation that is very tenacious.

"It should be around here."

The man at the front of the line stopped, his outfit distinctly characteristic of the Oriental, but on the outside it looked like a Northlander.

Tall, burly, with white skin and enlarged pores.

The members of this team seem to be from all over the world, and although they are dressed in similar heels to the Orientals, several of them are Northlanders, and one or two look like ronins from the Eastern Coast.

The one who spoke was a veiled Oriental woman, dressed as a dancing girl, and although she was wearing a cloak on the outside, she could still tell her occupation. Beside her was a very tall woman, with delicate skin unique to the Oriental race, black hair, long legs, delicate face, slender and tough, wearing fist gloves on the palms, hair tied up with a ribbon, and some special gadgets on the leggings.

Warrior Monk.

Or an advanced boxing master.

Because of the gap in civilization, it is very rare to see female warrior monks in the south, and it can even be said that there are almost none, but there are still some such people in the eastern countries, although the number is still very rare.

The practice of warrior monks is not very suitable for women.

"It's around here."

The man who led the team stopped and said slowly: "The thing that Dongfang Emperor Ji wants should be here, if you can find it, maybe there is a way to kill that ancient evil thing." ”

"Now that many of the seals are starting to loosen, the Abbey can't afford to waste too much energy on that."
