Chapter 429: The Scourge of War Behemoth Research Institute
When he actually met Master Trofim himself, Roland realized that the other party was completely different from the image he expected. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Originally, he thought that the alchemist who served the cultists of the evil gods was a spooky old monster, or a shriveled hunchback, with an Einstein-esque hairstyle and a John Nash-esque anomaly like the Frankenstein he had often seen in science fiction movies before the time travel.
However, in fact, Master Trofim was a dashing-looking, personable man.
This demonic old man with 10 mage levels and a level 5 alchemist did not deliberately use spells to hide his age, his long silver hair was carefully combed and tied into a ponytail, and the years left traces on his face, looking at his angular face through shallow wrinkles, anyone must admit that this person must have been a beautiful man with a tough temperament when he was young. The well-cut woolen woolen trench coat-style robe sets off the long and strong figure, and the waist is straight like a javelin when the hands are held, and there is a kind of wind radiating from Yue Zhiyuan, which makes people feel respect.
"This old man is so handsome!" Roland held up the "Invisible Magic Ball" wand and squatted under the window edge of the "War Scourge Behemoth Research Institute" and whispered, "Christopher's little white face is far worse than him, Elsa really has no vision." ā
"Where's the handsome?" Andrea was also in the invisible orb, leaning against Roland and peeking into the window, the corners of her lips curled up disdainfully, "You don't need to look at it a second time to know that this old guy is treacherous and vicious in his heart, but on the surface, he also pretends to be a gentlemanly person, which can confuse those young people who lack experience, especially little girls...... Well, this is very similar to you, no wonder you think he is handsome, it turns out that he smells like you! ā
Roland glanced at her unhappily, "Don't hurt me, you're panicking, aren't you?" ā
Andrea blinked delicately, leaning limply, a pair of mischievous little hands creeping into his armpits, trying to tickle and make him laugh.
It was very exciting for her to play pranks in this extremely dangerous environment, but Roland couldn't stand it, so he simply pulled her into his arms and clamped her arms so that she had no room to make trouble.
Andrea snorted lowly, but she didn't struggle, and looked curiously into the window with her hands on the windowsill.
The hall on the first floor of the institute is very wide, like an indoor stadium, with a huge cage welded into a large cage with arm-thick steel bars in the center of the hall, the gap between the fences is only one foot wide, and each fence also has a constant "force field wall", which is extremely heavily guarded.
In the iron cage was a huge beast that was more than thirty feet tall at the shoulder, forty feet from head to tail, weighed twenty tons at least, and the pair of fangs that resembled scimitars alone were fifteen feet long! What's even more shocking is that this giant beast is covered with thick steel armor, each piece of armor is more than two inches thick, and the surface is engraved with complex and strange spell patterns, and even the head is wrapped in a steel helmet, revealing only a huge mouth, a thick and slender nose, two fangs and a pair of scarlet manic eyes, giving people a strong visual impact.
"This guy is the so-called 'war scourge beast'? It's a steel chariot! Andrea couldn't help but exclaim under her breath.
Roland also felt the same way, if this thing was brought to the earth before the crossing, the hard tank might not be left behind. Scouting the giant beast through the "Pupil of Fate", he whispered in Andrea's ear, "To be precise, the full name of this monster is 'Evolved Mammoth Steel Half-Golem'. ā
The long list of obscure words stunned Andrea, "Tell me slowly, what the hell is this?" ā
Roland sighed helplessly, "You always know mammoth, right?" ā
"Nonsense! Of course I know that mammoths are mammoths, the tallest and strongest beasts on the Lucia Plateau, better than Losmons as pack beasts, but unfortunately most of them are short-tempered and difficult to domesticate. ā
"Then the evolution of the mammoth is not difficult to understand, it is a particularly strong and ferocious breed among the mammoths, the strength is greater than that of ordinary mammoths, and of course the combat effectiveness is stronger, the next key word is 'half golem', have you heard of it?"
"I know a golem very well, but a half-golem is not so clear, it seems to be a kind of existence between a living creature and a constructor?" Andrea asked.
Roland nodded and explained, "The Half-Golem is actually an accidental product, originating from the technology of reshaping severed limbs invented by people in order to save lives. ā
Generally speaking, there is no better way to reconnect a severed limb than with the help of the 7-ring magic technique "Regeneration". However, only high-level priests above level 13 can perform this magic art, and the price is still very high, and it is obviously not suitable for promotion. In order to make it easier to reconnect the severed limbs and help those with lowly status and mutilated limbs, some good arcane spellcasters apply the knowledge they have learned about golems to the living. In the beginning, this practice gave many people hope for recovery, but gradually, the technology was subject to a constraint that affected the final result: many people who received this special treatment and regained their limbs could not bear the pain of transformation, and eventually changed their temperament and became evil beings. These evil life manifestations are exploring the limits of their power, becoming a special existence between creatures and golems, that is, half-golems.
Compared to ordinary golems that are not intelligent or self-conscious, the Half-Golem is more like a living person, capable of thinking for itself, and will even completely retain all the skills, expertise, spells, and professional abilities that they had acquired before undergoing the transformation surgery; However, compared to ordinary people, the Half-Golem is so different, and the special image on the limbs is secondary, and the main thing is that they have the characteristics of the golem-like constructed creatures: they are immune to most spell effects, affecting the mind, toxins, hypnosis, paralysis, shock, disease, instant death, etc., heavy hits, bruises, attribute damage, attribute drain, energy drain, or bleeding effects cannot affect them.
Correspondingly, since the Half-Golems are no longer pure creatures, they are completely destroyed when they are killed, and cannot be regenerated or resurrected.
Finally, Roland added: "According to the different limbs transplanted, the half-golem is divided into different types, such as the flesh and blood half-golem, the clay half-golem, and the rock half-golem. ā
"Peel off the skin and graft the steel shell......" Andrea's scalp tingled as she listened, "It's cruel." ā
"It is indeed cruel, so as we see now, the beast of war in the iron cage seems restless and hysterical, and suffers from severe pain all the time, and even the most tame animal cannot help but go berserk, not to mention that it is not a good-tempered animal itself, and if the cage is opened, I doubt that Trofim and his assistants will be able to control this mad beast......"
