When Otto's mysterious bodyguard took off his cloak and revealed his true face, the onlookers around the ring couldn't help but exclaim in unison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In front of them was a nine-foot-tall construction giant, with an all-metal skeleton that showed a cold temperament, and a complex mechanical component of many gears and bearings that was driven by magic to make a slight noise like a clock.

The vital parts of this monster's body are equipped with alloy armor with higher strength than steel, but the overall look still looks thin and capable, the surface of the slender limbs exposes countless "muscle fibers" made of steel wires, a pair of iron fists inlaid with pure gold spikes are calm and powerful, the humanoid face is covered with grid-like armor, and through the metal gap, you can see a single eye that flashes the yellow aura of the School of Change, staring coldly at the human youth opposite.

Roland was also observing the grim-looking construction giant.

Is this an Iron Golem?

No, the Iron Golem was much more bloated and sluggish.

In Roland's view, this guy's appearance has a sci-fi aesthetic that transcends the times, and he can't help but think of the images he saw in science fiction movies before the time travel, such as the original "Terminator" who lost his humanoid disguise, and the robocops in cyberpunk works.

That's right, it's not like a golem, it's more like a robot.

System Hint: Discover the Special Construct "Shield Defender"!

"So this is the 'Shield Guardian'," Roland smiled, "The legendary 'Mobile Loyal Dog' can be regarded as alive today, come on." As he spoke, he hooked his finger at the "shield defender", and without drawing his sword, he played with it with his bare hands.

"Can that Mr. Roland defeat the Shieldguard?" The half-sheep waitress held the wooden tray and looked at the ring with nervous eyes. In her eyes, the handsome human youth was already tall and strong, but compared to the mechanical giant opposite, he was like a weak child, and she couldn't help but worry about Roland.

Otto chuckled and played with his glass: "That's an interesting question, of course that little brother can defeat the Shieldguard, after all, he is a powerful Electorate, the question is whether the Shieldkeeper can test his true strength, Indira, what do you think?" ”

"I've seen enough." Indira stared at Roland, her pretty eyebrows furrowed, and strode to the ring.

"What are you going to do?" Otto asked.

"It's better to stay close to the ring, lest your shield defender be dismantled before you can see that kid's tricks clearly."

"It's not funny."

"Hehe, if you don't believe it, just look at it."

Indira had a hunch: the shield defender is admittedly strong, but it is difficult to take advantage of Roland, and I am afraid that he will not even be able to force the other party to use his sword.

It turns out that women's instincts are always very effective, but what even Indira didn't expect was that before she could get to the ring, the duel would already be decided.

The moment the referee announced the start of the match, the magic runes on the chest of the shield defender lit up with golden light, and the fire elemental spirit that formed the core of its life received the battle command from its master Otto with telepathy, and strode towards Roland, reaching out with a large steel hand to grab the opponent's fragile neck, and the sharp gold nails tore through the air, making a heart-palpitating roar.

Roland took a step forward and raised his palm to meet the shield defender's grasp.

On weekdays, Lyudmila always has to pull him as a sparring partner when practicing martial arts skills, Roland is not good at fist and foot kung fu, but as the so-called practice makes perfect, he has been thrown around as a sandbag by the giant girl all year round, and over time he has also honed a quite superb empty-handed fighting skills, according to Lyudmila's evaluation: has been her six or seven points of true biography. Even if it can't compare to a real martial arts master, it is still more than enough to deal with a shield guardian without wisdom.

Bang! The two hands collided in the air, the iron glove "bloody smile" collapsed out of the spark, Roland's legs bowed slightly to withstand the pressure, and his heart was calm: this wave is stable!

The results of the wrestling proved that the strength attribute of the shield defender was about 24, which was as much as 6 points worse than him, and even taking into account the size advantage of the shield defender, it could not make up for the huge gap in strength and fighting skills. With a whip kick on the outside of the shield defender's calf, the iron giant immediately lost his weight and fell into the ring, smashing the ground and shaking.

Roland smiled slightly, and stood in the middle of the ring waiting for the shield guard to get up and see what tricks it had.

The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar, most of them were puzzled by how vulnerable the shield defender was, suspecting that it was just a big toy with a false appearance, otherwise how could it be kicked down by Roland at will.

Indira paused and raised her brow, a flash of surprise in her eyes. She is not one of those wastewoods who only watch the excitement, and knows that the "Shield Defender" is by no means as easy to deal with as people think, and the reason why she was kicked down by Roland can only mean that she has met an overly powerful opponent.

The "Shield Defender" slowly stood up with his hands on the ground, and the intense magical aura spewed out through the cracks in his face armor, and his gaze became more and more intense, like an enraged bull, ready to launch a ferocious counterattack.

Roland stared at the shield defender, not looking at it, but locking on to the flickering V script on the other's chest. The "Shield Defender" is a thoughtless construct, even if it is dismantled, it will not be angry, its combat routines mainly rely on pre-formulated response plans, which is very similar to writing a machine program, if it encounters a situation that is not within the plan, such as the situation at the moment, it relies more on the master's telepathic remote control, and the magic runes that constantly flicker on the chest are proof of its emergency communication with Otto.

"Shielddefender can't win against me in a simple competition of strength and martial arts, so how will Otto manipulate his big toy next?"

Roland's mind raced, awakening the details of the shield defender's setting in the depths of his memory.

Suddenly, an orange aura rose from the shield defender's feet, and in an instant, the iron giant vanished from Roland's eyes.

Spelling School Magic Aura, Any Door?!

The "Pupil of Fate" helped Roland catch the signs of the opponent's spell in time, and he also knew that the greatest advantage of the shield defender from other constructs was that it could cast spells.

Of course, this does not mean that the shield guardian itself has the ability to cast spells or innate spells, it is just a container for storing spells, like a blank scroll, which can be temporarily stored in the caster's hand for a spell or quasi-spell, and the shield defender has the right to use this spell.

The shield guard is the bodyguard of the plane merchant Otto, so it is conceivable that most of the "arbitrary doors" in its body are deposited by Otto, which is not surprising, what really makes Roland a little passive is the environmental factor.
