039, Dream Adventure (2)
The arsenal covers an extremely large area, and the position of Talos hanging in the air and the eyes of the high-level bloodline knights cannot be seen.
Countless metals, adamantites, and ores in the arcane furnace where the energy reacts violently are being smelted and forged in an orderly manner, and under the influence of magic and alchemy circles, they have become the most basic raw materials for the manufacture of constructs.
Fire Spirits—with round lizard-like heads and large feet, covered in red scales and fiery red magical lines—use their innate resistance to fire to remove the forged steel from the furnace with their bare hands and proceed to the next procedure.
Based on Talos's experience in the field of magic, it was immediately clear that this was a typical Nine-Ring Council-style construct-style arsenal.
The so-called Nine Rings Council style refers to the efficient assembly operation, except for the key enchantment processes such as inscription of magic runes, activation, and enlightenment, which must be participated in by the mage himself, and the other links are responsible for the spirit creatures, golems and other constructs summoned by the mages, freeing up the energy of the mage and devoting it to the laboratory and spell research that cannot be used by the mage.
As a result, it is rare to see a living person in a standard Nine-Rings Council-style arsenal or alchemy factory, and if there is, it is in special positions that require the mage to be checked by themselves, and most of them are filled by relatively cheap labor such as a magic apprentice or a first-order mage, as Talos sees now.
Just as Talos was about to wander the vast arsenal in search of the voice that had summoned him here, a fire spirit spotted him.
The other Fire Spirits, Golems, and Structures in the Arsenal then set their sights on Talos and attacked as soon as possible.
A cloud of flame appeared in the fire spirit's claw-like hand, and it was hurled at Talos with a brush, and the golems swarmed around him in all directions.
"This dream actually has a defense mechanism? ”
Talos was surprised, but he didn't panic, it was just a dream.
As soon as his mind moved, a huge hexagonal frost shield appeared out of thin air, and a ball of flame fell on it, splattering out, scattering into countless sparks, like thousands of fireworks exploding in the flamelight, very beautiful.
However, the golem made of rock does not have the ability to fly, and can only use the heavy sword in his hand to launch a throwing attack on Talos with the same size, model, and rules.
Boom!
Click!
Strange screams and neat footsteps came from a distance at the same time, and when Talos looked at it, he saw countless gargoyles and iron knights.
The Gargoyle is a classic dripping beast made of obsidian, with the Iron Knight wearing a helmet, armor, and holding a two-handed broadsword, exactly like what Talos encountered on the outskirts of Birlingham that day.
"Bruce!?"
The familiar gargoyles and Iron Knights, as well as the construct-based arsenal closely linked to the enchanted faction, all helped Talos come to an incredible conclusion, that the person who had called his name in his dream was actually Bruce Finch, the second prince of the Golden Empire of Sarafurs!
Thinking of this, Talos reined in his spirit and tried to fantasize about a spell faction's high-level spell, the group immobilization!
The invisible force field spread, and the gargoyles flying towards Talos rained down on the ground, leaving the fire spirits, golems, and iron knights all frozen in place, unable to move.
"Strange, how could it be Bruce's dream, did he also come to Caspihai?"
Talos originally fantasized about the legendary spell Meteorite, but he was afraid that his dream would be shattered like the frogman's, so he hurriedly switched to a group immobilization technique that did not have any destructive power, and he also wanted to explore the dream of this fateful enemy to see if he could get useful information.
"Ulala—"
Suddenly, a shrill and loud alarm sounded in the arsenal.
"Stop!"
Like turning the frogman** object into a python, Talos tried to modify the dream.
However, a strange and familiar force stopped him.
"How powerful is Bruce Dream's defenses?"
Talos couldn't help but be a little surprised, although this was the second dream he had entered, he had gradually become aware of the means and abilities of dreaming, and this should not have happened as his soul fire holder.
The alarm continued, and an earthquake-like roar was heard in the distance, and even the whole earth trembled.
Seconds later, a giant construct monster and thousands of Iron Knights appeared in Talos' sight.
It is said to be a construct, because it is indeed a demon faction spell activation enlightenment, and the whole body is completely composed of various mechanical metals, giving people the first impression of being powerful, fierce, and an incomparable sense of power.
It is said to be a monster because its shape is a dodecahedron, which is extremely large, at least more than 100 feet high.
Except for a mechanical head directly above and a spherical propulsion device on the bottom face, the other ten faces have a large cannon barrel sticking out of it, pointing at Talos, flashing with blue-white magical energy.
- In fact, even the nose of that mechanical head is a tank-like barrel.
"Destroy the invaders! Destroy the invaders!"
The electronic sound of machinery echoed through the arsenal, and an army of golems from elsewhere attacked at the same time.
Airplanes!
With a buzzing sound, a full ten cannon barrels were charged in an instant, and a series of flashing beams of intense light that were enough to blind ordinary people's eyes temporarily enveloped Talos.
Tick!
A little raindrop appeared out of thin air, followed by a second, a third, and in a short moment, countless raindrops lined up in a ball centered on Talos, forming a protective film.
Water Elemental Faction Spell, Liquid Shield!
The Black Sea Intrepid has eighteen constructed lifeforms activated by the magic crystal cannon, and the damage caused by each bombardment is not weaker than other third-order elemental spells, so in the face of similar construct-body monsters, Talos did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly used fourth-order spells to protect himself, and decided not to entangle anymore - the strength of the defense mechanism of his dream realm is beyond imagination - and he fully fantasized about the legendary spell that he had just abandoned, the meteorite spell.
With a burst of spiritual emptiness, a deafening roar was heard in the sky.
Rumble!
Meteorites, dust, fire, shockwaves, mushroom clouds......
Everything in front of him was wiped out by the meteorite technique, and the most powerful construct-body monster was disintegrated into the most primitive particles the moment the meteorite fell.
Just as Talos was ready to shatter his dream and was automatically ejected, a very huge will surged from all directions, and the invisible force field wrapped the shock wave that was releasing huge energy and the sputter generated by the meteorite impact, kneaded it, and finally formed a ball.
A large, invisible hand squeezed lightly, bang, and was punctured like a balloon.
Then, a huge face appeared over the ruins, with long blond hair and emerald eyes, none other than the Bruce that Talos was all too familiar with.
"Talos Nepton!"
Bruce looked at him with a smile on his face, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
