Chapter 768: The Golem in Use (Part I)
With the sound, an almost transparent magic door appeared on the wall of the office.
A crisp laugh came from within, and Charles looked moved, got up from his chair and walked into the world behind the Magic Gate.
It was a workshop room, with rows of magical incandescent lamps emitting a bright glow from the ceiling, a little dazzling, and under the light, there were a dozen tall black steel monsters like mechas.
The steel monsters had already been assembled, and Charles walked over and casually glanced at the four or five meter-tall humanoid mecha, the entire metal machine was so integrated that there were no obvious welding gaps in sight.
Half a month ago, the Golem lacked a circuit core, simply put, a small starting furnace, but now seeing the appearance of the Golem in the workshop, Charles knew that the little goddess had overcome the technical problems of the ancient Imasca.
Throw a scout at one of the golems:
γLarge Shadow Steel Golemγ(Lord)

β¦β¦β
Hiss.
Perfectly restored?
In my memory, the Shadow Steel Golem that I once encountered in the ruins of Mystrono matched the data map in front of me in terms of level, attributes, and health. Charles couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, he was just worrying about what to use to stabilize the order of the rock collar, but he didn't expect that at this time, the Shadow Steel Golem would complete the installation!
"Leila!"
Finding the little goddess who was working on the last golem, Charles couldn't help but ask, "Are these golems ready to use?" β
"Of course." He was not answered by the Phantom Goddess, but by Pico Sperm Lulu, who sat on the table and dangled her feet. The fairy dressed as a little witch grinned, "It was Leila who told me to inform you, wait a few minutes, and you will be able to bring these 12 Shadow Steel Golems back to the Rock Collar......"
Receiving the exact reply, Sheldon looked excited.
12 Shadowsteel Golems!
At this time, the rock collar is almost equivalent to a group of powerful heroic professionals, and it is also a conscientious, sleepless kind that can patrol the territory tirelessly 24 hours a day or even throughout the year. With these highly intelligent golems, Charles can already foresee that the security value of 65 [qualified] points on the territory panel will slowly increase in the next period of time.
β¦β¦
Rock Collar, Temple District.
The sound of heavy footsteps in unison emanated from the depths of the temple, and the aboriginal apprentices and clergy were talking.
"Follow meβ"
The new Master Templar hurriedly gathered a group of Templars and rushed to the backyard, and Bloomer and Helen rushed over, but the next scene made everyone look shocked.
The black golems, four or five meters tall, were arranged in two columns walking side by side, with six golems on each side, and the pace and distance between their walks seemed to have been carefully calculated without the slightest deviation.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
The golem's ruby-encrusted eyes clearly possessed a wide range of vision, and the discerning clergy around them were able to detect a series of covert scanning lasers projecting on them without pause.
"Your Excellency the Priestess!"
Two rows of golems marched down the hallway, and Charles walked leisurely behind, the apprentices and clergy he met along the way bowing to him with stunned expressions.
"Priestess Charles, ...... these golems?" Bloomer and Helen approached and walked behind the golem with Charles.
It was Bloomer who asked the question. He stared at the high-level golems full of sci-fi aura in front of him, and frowned slightly: "It's not ordinary materials that cast them, right?" I smelled a very strong smell of evil...... This aura seems to come from the shadow plane. β
"Of course, these are Shadowsteel Golems!" The charr wasn't going to hide it.
"Shadowsteel Golem!"
Bloomer seemed to know this kind of golem, after all, it was the priest of Ogmar, and it was no less knowledgeable than those studious mages. The administrator of the temple was immediately surprised: "Isn't this golem technology that originated from the ancient Imasca Empire long gone?" β
Charles only smiled at this.
"It's lost."
"But Layla has eaten up the skills of the wizard of Imasca on a captured Shadowsteel Golem."
"Leila?" Hearing the name of the god, Bloomer and Helen, who had followed him, were stunned.
"It turned out to be Miss Phantom." Bloomer had no more doubts now. It is not surprising that a deity has a thorough understanding of ancient technology. If the gods are willing to study and learn, then the high-ranking legendary mages will also be overshadowed.
"What are you going to do with these Shadowsteel Golems?" Helen asked, pursing her lips.
"Law and order."
Charles glanced at the Inquisitor he had appointed, and his heart moved.
The Rock Collar City Hall was established, but many of the governorships of key departments were vacant. For example, the Ministry of Public Security, his current entourage, the heroic berserker Sarin, also holds this position.
However, according to Charles, Saleen should be a military general in charge of the Knights, not an official of the town hall.
The military and the political should be separated.
In the past, there was no one available in the Rock Realm, but now that he has obtained a batch of powerful Shadowsteel Golems, Saleen does not have to take on the position of sheriff at the same time, and can be freed up to concentrate on building the Knights directly under him. After all, the Knights are also very busy, and when Charles and Yuffie issue the order to expand their army, it is even more unlikely that Salin will have the time to supervise the security of the city.
Helen Seltell is a candidate in reserve.
If it was placed in the past, Helen's half-hero strength was a little insufficient, and it was difficult for him to be qualified for the position of sheriff of the city hall, but now that there is a Shadow Steel Golem to supplement her combat power, Helen's personal strength seems insignificant.
What is the Inquisition?
When it comes to Helen's advanced profession, we have to talk about the characteristics of this profession.
First of all, the Inquisitor can use the [Detect Evil]'s spell-like abilities anytime and anywhere, which is similar to the Paladin, and evil will not hide in her eyes.
Then there are the professional abilities of immunity to charm, debunking illusions, debunking disguises, immunity to coercion, immunity to soul detachment, discerning lies, and knowing truth.
"[Identifying Lies]: Every day 3/3, starting from lv9, the Inquisitor will be able to obtain a spell-like ability similar to 'Insight into Lies'."
"[Knowing the Truth]: Starting from lv10, as long as you come into contact with a creature that lies to you, the Inquisitor can force it to tell the truth, and the affected creature must pass a will test, otherwise it will be affected by the effect of mental coercion."
Just by looking at professional ability, you can know what the profession of inquisitors is, and appointing them as magistrates of the city is just right, even the evil people who are good at lying and acting cannot blind them.
In addition, after the Inquisitor takes office, he will automatically master the spell of the [Judgment Domain].
List of spells from the first to the ninth ring of the Realm of Judgment: Detect Chaos, Realm of Honesty, Detect Thoughts, Detect Lies, True Knowledge, Command, Words, Walls of Order, and Imprisonment.
This area can be said to further strengthen the professional character of the judge.
They may not be strong in combat, but they are indispensable for temples and territories, and they are born police professions, and it would be a waste of talent not to leave them in the positions they should have.
"Helen, come here."
So, at the door of the Temple of Knowledge, Charles hooked his hand to get his newly appointed Inquisitor closer, and then used the token of the gods to contact the Phantom Goddess who was cultivating in the realm of God, "Lyra, give control of 8 of these Shadow Steel Golems to this cleric beside me. β
As the words fell, Helen Sertaire, who was standing beside him, had a blank eye for a second or two, and when the female priest's eyes regained clarity, her gaze at the Shadowsteel Golem completely changed, revealing an indescribable excitement of joy.
ββ¦β¦ IβI've made a spiritual connection with the Golem! "Helen was unbelievable.
She, the noble lady of the ruling family of Procamp, has not been in contact with golems, from clay golems to iron golems, Helen has been in contact with a lot since she was a child, but in her opinion, no matter what golems, they are not self-aware, they will only follow the orders given by the maker, and the tactics and combat methods used are also very rigid, and there are fixed command procedures.
However, now that she has partial control of the eight Shadowsteel Golems, Helen realizes how superficial her previous knowledge is.
"Controller, command."
"Please give a directive, I will act strictly according to the instruction, you can change the instruction at any time."
At this moment, a cold mechanical voice sounded in Helen's mind.
Touching the Shadow Steel Golem's control panel along the mind control line, Helen discovers all sorts of incredible features.
There are three modes of defense, patrol and offense.
Within each mode, there are subdivisions of integration, formation, and tactical design options.
Helen pursed her lips and first chose the [Patrol] mode, and then broke up the 8 Shadow Steel Golems under her control, and divided them into two groups, so that each team could design formations and tactics.
Skipping the formation directly, the 2 golems don't pay attention to the formation, and the tactics are very complicated.
For example, when scanning and discovering dangerous targets in patrol mode, do you charge directly to take the lead, or do you blend in the shadows and hide first? Shadowsteel Golems can disappear into shadowed areas under any non-daylight lighting effect, which is simply similar to the sight of the Shadow Thief to hide, not to mention that they are forged from metal, and in terms of concealment, they are living high-level wanderers.
This is also the property given to the Golem by the special material [Shadow Steel] from the Shadow Plane.
Helen quickly immersed herself in the tactical design, and when she had completed the tactical instructions of the four Shadowsteel Golem teams in high spirits, the Goddess realized that Charles had long since left.
Bloomer stood by and saw that she was out of her contemplative state, and handed over a letter of appointment with the lord's seal.
"Miss Helen, your lord thinks highly of you." Bloomer looked deeply at the Goddess Officer, "You are about to become the Sheriff of the Rock Realm, taking over the security duties of Lord Saleen. β
"I hope you don't live up to your lord's expectations. As for the temple, you're still the chief magistrate, so you'll have to work hard to juggle both the temple and the territory. β
"Leave it to me!" Helen took the letter of appointment steadily, and her pretty and delicate face was written with confidence.
Now in control of eight Shadow Steel Golems, Helen is fully confident that she will fight against many evildoers below the legendary level at the same time! (To be continued.) )
