725 Duplex 1

"What about you, Melenes, do you hear that sound too?" Gordon decided to take the advice a little more in.

Ever since she entered the Upper Seanzu, both when she was in the witch's hut and now after landing in the Floating City, this succubus lady has been extraordinarily quiet, as if she was following Gordon just to quietly watch the scenery. It's a bit unusual.

Succubi is an expert in deception, illusion, and mind control, which is why Gordon remembered to ask Melenes.

However, the succubus didn't have any useful news, just shook his head and said, "I didn't hear anything. Maybe it's because neither my current identity nor my previous identity is popular with the city, so it doesn't bother to pay attention to me. ”

Melenes is now a demon, basically one of those characters who is unlikely to be popular anywhere, and she was a former Sun Elf, a sworn enemy of the Nether Magic Empire, and the floating city certainly wouldn't like her - if the city really had its own likes and dislikes.

However, Gordon didn't find out that the "little guy" who was an artificial intelligence in the floating city had any prejudice against her, so she simply shrugged her shoulders at the succubus's words, thinking that she was a woman who felt meaningless self-pity.

Since nothing has been discovered, Gordon can't stay any longer, and what needs to be done still has to be done. The group continued on their way, through a winding corridor and passageway, until they came to a building with a large circular dome and a golden façade. Despite all these years, the exterior walls of this building are still bright and conspicuous. Fortunately, this is not the main material realm. Otherwise, under the illumination of the sun, its reflection of bright light. It will surely blind people's eyes.

Of course, the Grand Arcanist Hytrus. Osht built such a golden building. It is not because he likes a luxurious and exaggerated artistic style, but because the material used to build the building is not wood or stone in the traditional sense, but metal.

Metal is used to build houses, which are cold in winter and hot in summer, which is both uncomfortable and expensive. If it's not for a special purpose, or it's a pure brain wreck. Otherwise, no one would build a house out of metal.

A Grand Arcanist is certainly not brain-dead.

In fact, after walking closer to the building, Gordon took a closer look and found that the material used for its construction was a special metal called "vanadium", which was used in many fields related to space-like spells.

The little guy introduced everyone like a tour guide, "This is one of the six teleportation stations in the floating city. From here, we can go straight to the heart of the Temple of Truth. Mage, aren't you in a hurry, then use teleportation spells. Obviously faster than walking on two legs. ”

Gordon felt more and more that this Mr. Artificial Intelligence was too caring. Since you can save time and achieve your goals as soon as possible, it is not impossible to use teleportation. And judging from the current condition of this floating city, although the appearance looks a little old and dilapidated. But the core functions were still working - otherwise, it would not have been possible to fire the magic crystal cannon to blast through that energy barrier.

Inside the building, there is a circular field with a downward depression. Directly on the ground in the middle is a large white round crystal, polished to be as smooth as a mirror. Surrounding. Bands of metal engraved with blue inscriptions extend outwards from the crystal, forming an intricate magic array.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Stand on top of the crystal and I'll start setting goals to get you to your destination accurately and quickly. The little guy said up and down, still innocent.

The three Dragonborn guards were the first to walk onto the crystal that was large enough to hold dozens of people standing. The Golden Moon Sword Master glanced at Gordon and then walked up.

Just as Gordon, Ji'er, and Melenes were about to take a step, he suddenly heard a crisp sound, and out of the corner of his eye, he skimmed out of the window and saw several dark shadows passing by, extremely fast, difficult to catch with the naked eye.

And so it was...... Fortunately, the previous worries were not superfluous, otherwise you would have been fooled......" Gordon's heart suddenly tightened, but he was glad for a while. He shouted, "Don't stand on that crystal!" ”

Hearing his words, Ji'er and Melenes also stopped at the same time, and turned sideways to cast inquiring eyes.

The Golden Moon Sword Master and the three Dragonborn Guards obviously did not form a tacit understanding with Gordon, they were stunned for a moment, delayed for a few seconds, and then took a step, ready to step down from the crystal and ask Gordon for an explanation. And this delay is already too late.

At the moment when Gordon reminded him, the "little guy" who had always been innocent and cute like a small animal suddenly made a sharp and vicious voice. It shouted in frustration, and its entire body swelled like an angry pufferfish, turning a striking red.

"You all have to die, and the greedy and careerists who dare to touch this floating city must die!"

With the screams of the "little guy", the teleportation array suddenly activated, and the Golden Moon Sword Master and the three dragonborn guards who didn't have time to leave immediately disappeared into the white light.

"Hapless Antolians......"

Faced with this situation, Gordon can only be so comforted.

At the same time, the door of the building suddenly opened, and twelve humanoid golems more than three meters tall rushed in with sonorous metal steps, and the blades in their hands pointed directly at the three humans in the middle. The dark shadows that Gordon had just seen outside the window, and the noise he had heard, were all made by these golems.

"What's going on?" Although Miss Ji'er pulled out her weapon reflexively, she still didn't figure out the situation.

"To put it simply, it was the little thing that originally seemed harmless to humans and animals, enthusiastically led us into the Floating City, revealed its hidden true colors, and wanted to kill us." As if she had anticipated this, Melenes calmly pulled out her long whip.

Gordon didn't know when the succubus had discovered something wrong with the Floating City's artificial intelligence. As early as when he met this "little guy", he felt that something was wrong.

There is no other reason, it's just that this "little guy" is too likable. To know as an artificial intelligence in a floating city. What is needed is strong management skills, and even the ability to make many people live in the floating city. The authority of creature awe in the service of the Grand Arcanist. Shaping the image and personality of artificial intelligence into a cute pet is absolutely contrary to the actual needs.

Of course. The image irrationality only makes Gordon feel slightly strange. What further deepened his suspicions was that this "little guy" was the manager of Floating City, and he actually had an attitude of answering all questions, asking questions, and knowing everything to outsiders like Gordon. Not even Faritan, who had taken it out of the Floating City without permission and imprisoned it in a wooden box for a considerable amount of time, did not hold the slightest resentment.

This kind of "living Lei Feng" who only seeks dedication and does not ask for returns, although it cannot be said that it does not exist in this world. But if its identity is an artificial intelligence in a floating city, then it is very doubtful.

You know, as an artificial intelligence in the Floating City, in its owner, Hytrus. When Osht was alive, his only and highest function was to assist his master in managing the Floating City. If the owner dies, it shouldn't be like Santa Claus, remembering to give the floating city to outsiders.

Although Gordon was suspicious of the "little guy's" motives, he did provide a lot of true and reliable information. It gave him a deeper understanding of the Floating City. And in the end, he also helped Gordon and his party to board this floating city.

But now it seems that it is just a scented bait that it uses to catch big fish.

Fortunately, Gordon's fish was more alert, and quietly pecked off the bait and swallowed it alone. And there was no bite to bite the deadly fishhook.

Just as the Golem army that suddenly appeared surrounded the three of Gordon and was about to attack, Gordon also took out the spell scroll that he had been holding in his hand for a long time. The magical parchment turned to ashes. In an instant, it was molded into dozens of silver drop-shaped balls of light, and then flew towards the "little guy".

The "little guy" didn't expect Gordon to react so quickly and alertly. And the counterattack came so quickly, even before their own attack.

As the artificial intelligence of this floating city. The reason why it wants Gordon to come to the Floating City has its own purpose. Now that the goal has been achieved, it is necessary to find a way to subdue these humans. The little guy knew that these human beings were very strong, and with the ability of his own elite body, he couldn't defeat the other party at all. Fortunately, in the Floating City, it is the master of Yiqiē, able to control all the defenses that are still functioning.

The six teleportation stations in the Floating City are the most important transportation hubs in the entire Floating City. At the beginning, Heterass. When Osht designed and built them, these stations were well guarded. So the "little guy" deliberately brought Gordon and his party here, expecting to catch the other party.

The four people led by the Golden Moon Sword Master did not have time to escape from the trap set by the "little guy" and were teleported to the remote area of the Floating City. They could not pose a threat to the "little one", but the accident that got out of its plan still happened.

The "little guy" didn't expect that his previous deliberately weak disguise had already been discovered by Gordon, and in the face of the spell counterattack that the mage had already prepared, it didn't have time to dodge at all, and was directly hit by several magic missiles.

Because the self-created "Missile Storm" spell was to be copied into a scroll, it required the use of special alchemy materials to make zuò ink, so Gordon never copied this kind of scroll. However, for this trip to the Floating City, especially in order to burst out with the greatest attack power in a sudden situation, he deliberately used the spell casting technique to copy a few missile storm scrolls by consuming a lot of experience points.

Now, this spell scroll is a fatal blow to the "little guy" who suddenly turns his face.

The fragile bodies of the elite creatures simply could not withstand the attacks of Gordon's refined and sophisticated spells. In the explosion of silver light, the body of the "little guy" was shattered, turning into dots of light and dust, floating in the room.

Gordon knew that this "little guy", who was the artificial intelligence of the Floating City, would not die even if his body was destroyed by himself. In a sense, it is one with the city, and unless the floating city is destroyed, or the center of artificial intelligence in the city is destroyed, it is immortal.

However, Gordon's preemptive counterattack at least unexpectedly disrupted the opponent's plan, and those golems who were under the control of the "little guy" and were preparing to besiege Gordon suddenly seemed to be disconnected. It is in a state of stagnation.

"Let's go!" Gordon let out a low snort, then cast a crowd acceleration.

"Where to go? This kind of thing happened. I'm afraid that every plant and tree in this city has become our enemy, and there is no safe place to go. The succubus said as he licked his lips.

All right. Gordon admits that Melenes has a point. However, this succubus lady said such things in a sweet and charming tone, and she also put on an expression that did not care about herself, which also made him not know what to do.

Melenes aside, Miss Ji'er is going to be much more reliable, following Gordon's side and breaking out.

The enemy Gordon faced was a Golem Guard of the Floating City that he had seen many times before. There is nothing unusual about the design of these metal loyal guards, neither the invasive designs of the Black Titans before Gordon, nor the extraordinary high-power weapons. They are just general-purpose golems made in the shape of a human being. The weapon was also just two giant blades attached to the arm.

However, since these golems are the work of a Grand Arcanist, they must also have their own uniqueness. The best thing about these golem guards is that the materials used in the original production are good and the craftsmanship is perfect, so the final product is also excellent. There are no bells and whistles required for abilities and traits, and the strength, speed, and strike resistance of crushing ordinary golems alone are enough to deal with most enemies.

Gordon was guarded by more than a dozen golem guards, and in the midst of the blade forest, the danger was comparable to facing the bloody jaw of a legendary dragon.

He knew what made these golems. It is a star composite metal mixed with a variety of rare materials, including mythril and adamantite, and has strong protection against both physical and magical attacks. Therefore, Gordon did not use the Shaping Spell to attack these Golem Guards, nor did he choose other petty tactics. Instead, he made a big move.

The power and control core of the golem comes from the elemental souls imprisoned in its body, and the key to its activity is still the flow of energy in the body. So deal with these large pieces of metal that don't go in oil and salt. The best way to do this is the Grey Frost, the mysterious gem held by Gordon.

I saw a flash of white light in Gordon's palm. The cold breath spread out like a spiral.

The sheer low temperature may have no effect on the Golem Guards, but behind the appearance of low temperatures. But it is the "absolutely freezing" power of the Mystery Jewel.

Ice flowers are flying, and the cold wind is howling. In this huge metal trap set by the "little guy", a storm suddenly blows that seems to come from the north.

The golem guards raised their blades embedded in their arms, and as they quickly contracted the encirclement, they rushed towards the three Gordons in the middle, but frost gradually condensed on their shiny shells, and the decorative patterns that had been carefully carved by the Empire's craftsmen were gradually obscured by a patch of white in the cold snap. Not only was the exterior frozen, but more importantly, the imprisoned and enslaved elemental souls inside the golem guards also lost contact with the metal shell that was both a body and a cage.

These golem guards gradually stood still in the cold wind of ice and snow as if they had lost their inner puppets.

"Hehe, people know that no matter what situation they encounter, you can save the day." Melenes twisted her waist to Gordon's side, and gently imprinted her fiery lips on Gordon's cheeks, which were slightly cold from the sudden drop in temperature.

Gordon didn't feel too happy about this fragrant treatment, but glared at Melenes helplessly: "I said, you were so calm just now, just because I was able to resolve the crisis?" ”

The succubus smiled and said nothing, but Miss Ji'er, who witnessed the intimacy between the two, seemed to be a little calm.

"Humph!" A sour feeling surged in the eldest lady's heart. Although she had known that the mage in front of her was a villain who was hooking up with girls everywhere, she still felt as if her chest was stuffed with something when she really witnessed him making out with other women.

In order to be out of sight and out of mind, Miss Ji'er decided to take the first step and leave the pair of "dog men and women" behind.

With the power of the Mystic Jewel Grey Frost, Gordon easily rendered the hordes of tricky golem guards besieging him ineffective. Now he was able to calmly leave the place that had been chosen by the "little guy" as an ambush point. However, within three days, he would no longer be able to use the power of the Arcane Gem, so if he encountered danger again in a short period of time, Gordon would have to find another way.

But when Gordon and Melenes reached the portal of the teleporter, something unexpected happened again.

The metal gate, which was half a meter thick, suddenly slipped down, completely separating Ji'er, who had already walked outside the teleportation station, and Gordon and Melenis, who were still at the door.

Immediately afterward, the walls, ceiling, and floor of the teleportation station changed dramatically. The whole building is like a metal monster that suddenly comes to life, trying to devour Gordon and Meleneth. Robotic arms of different sizes have emerged from various hidden places. These arms hold many weapons, which can be used for a series of butcher tasks such as disemboweling, belly and bone deboning, and even some mechanical arms are equipped with small magic crystal cannons, which can fire simple and primitive, but very deadly arcane energy, and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Gordon had thought that the "little guy" had lured them to this teleportation station in order to summon the frozen Golem Guards. Now it seems that not only the golems, but also the teleportation station itself is a defensive weapon.

He didn't expect that after being bombarded by his own missile storm, the "little guy" would recover so quickly. Gordon didn't have the luxury of killing the other party, because he couldn't do it on his own. But after killing that AI avatar, at least the opponent will face a recovery period and will not be able to cause trouble to themselves.

Who knew that this recovery period was so short, less than ten minutes.

It's a pity that Gordon has used the power of the Arcane Gem, and now there is no convenient and simple way to get out of the crisis.

"Mage, don't try to escape, don't want to escape! Do you know why I brought you to the Floating City? Because I want your body, I want your body! ”

Suddenly, a creepy voice came to mind in the teleporter. Listening to the accent is similar to the "little guy" who likes to sell cuteness before, but the love contained in the words is very uncomfortable.

Whether it's a big man with a strong chest saying something like "I want your body" to Gordon, or an artificial intelligence in a floating city saying something like that, it doesn't make people happy. In addition to the furious in his heart, Gordon began to prepare spells while dodging the front and back attacks of various weapons that suddenly appeared in the room.

Now I don't have time to think of other ways, the simplest and most direct way is to blast this perverted metal cage open, so as to escape.

Gordon summoned his Eternal Orb and prepared to use the power of the Celestial Fire to make a hole in the wall with twenty times the power of the spell. Even buildings made of special metal materials could not withstand such a high-powered bombardment.

And after losing the body of the spirit creature, the "little guy" whose consciousness has been integrated with the entire floating city obviously does not expect to be able to defeat Gordon with the weapons on various mechanical arms. These weapons look like Kappa, but the sub-artifact queen robe on Gordon alone is able to withstand most of the attacks.

But there are always many forces in this world that Gordon can hardly resist now.

Just as Gordon was about to cast a spell with a maximum amplification of twenty times, the crystal embedded in the ground as a teleportation device behind him suddenly shone again. And this time, the white light that rushed straight to the ceiling also produced a great attraction, just like the last time the succubus queen created the spatial vortex that made him involuntarily come to the abyss.

"Gordon, we should ......" This time, even Miss Succubus couldn't keep her composure. She felt as if an invisible hand was pulling her from behind, and her body was about to soar into the air.

Gordon also felt the huge pull that seemed irresistible. His body lost its balance, and the spells that were about to be completed were forced to be canceled. He couldn't release it outward, he could only feed back the arcane energy in his body and spread around his body, if it weren't for his body being far stronger than ordinary spellcasters, I am afraid that he would immediately spit blood from his mouth. (To be continued......)
