174 Magic Forge on
Charlie followed the Patron Golem to a corner of the temple.
Half of the collapsed hall appeared in front of Charlie's eyes, the hall was dim, the ground was scattered with large and small rubble fragments, a cracked high platform was located in the center of the collapsed hall, the lower left corner of the high platform exposed a huge hole, through the hole you can see the deep and vast starry sky and the regular void tides, the colorful wind tide blows wave after wave, gushing out of the hole, blocked by a pale golden barrier, the two have a fierce annihilation reaction, from time to time there will be a phenomenon of energy explosion, each impact will sweep away some fragments, involved in the void turbulenceγ
Looking around, Charlie saw that there were several thick conduits that continuously poured abundant energy into the guardian runes, which activated the barrier and kept the shield intact.
Charlie asked, "Is this platform the master of the temple?"
"Yes. β
"Don't you know it's ruined?!"
The Guardian Golem's eyes flashed blue, "The Guardian Golem has no authority to determine the life or death of the Mastermind. β
This is the sorrow of the program, if you draw it as a prison, it will not cross this circle, even if it has this ability, this is the difference between the program and the intelligent life.
The Guardian Golem added, "A thousand years ago, the Mastermind suffered a severe blow, and then it recovered, so all the Guardian Golem could do was wait. β
"Some waits can wait, some wait is meaningless, dead is dead, and you can't wait to come back. Charlie unsparingly punctures the essence of the problem.
At this moment, the blue glint in the guardian golem's eyes became more and more obvious, Charlie's words continued to challenge his intelligence center, and some principles and basic rules had begun to show conflict, which made it very confused.
Charlie pointed to the hole and said, "You should have seen that the temple is being eroded by the Void Storm, and it is constantly consuming the energy of the temple, what will happen over time?"
"Based on the current daily energy consumption, the magic shield can last for 106 years and 31 days, beyond this time, the temple core will close the magic shield due to the energy decreasing to the alert level, and at that time, the void wind will pour into the temple without hindrance. β
Charlie asked, "What will be the consequences?"
"The Void Storm has the attributes of chaos and chaos, and it conflicts with the matter under the rules of order, which may cause the Void Storm to pour into the half-plane and destroy the structure of the city, resulting in many incalculable consequences, and eventually, it may cause the city to be torn apart and become part of the Void Turbulence. β
"I think your estimate may be a little optimistic, maybe the time will be shorter, because you don't consider the damage increase effect, this hole will continue to get bigger, and the consumption of maintaining the magic shield will also increase, and when it is large enough to a certain extent, it will accumulate from quantitative change to qualitative change, and the energy to maintain the barrier may double. β
"You're right, but a few years or a few short years doesn't mean much to us, it's not our duty, and it's beyond the purview of the guardian golem. "Maybe it's been too long since we've talked to humans, or maybe it's capable of learning, and this guardian golem is becoming more and more human.
"Haven't you thought about trying to fix it?"
The Guardian Golem pondered for a moment and replied, "Repairing it requires the use of its owner's storage, and the Guardian Golem does not have scheduling privileges. β
Hearing this answer, Charlie felt really ridiculous, and when there was a way to fix it, he didn't repair it, and used this way of delaying the time of death, deceiving himself, he really felt sad for the stereotyped program!
Charlie asked, "Then who has the authority?"
"Mastermind. β
Ho! It seems to have entered an endless cycle from which there is no escape.
Charlie took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Then let me ask you, what is your duty to protect the golem?"
"My duty is to guard the order and safety of the temple and uphold the rules set by my master. The Guardian Golem replied without hesitation.
"Very good, your duty is to protect the temple, but now you are doing something that threatens the safety of the temple and eventually leads to the destruction of the temple, are you violating your duty?!"
The Guardian Golem's eyes were blue, "No!
Charlie rebuked loudly, "Think about it, isn't it?! Some facts cannot be denigrated, you did the work of repairing the temple, and at this moment the temple is slowly moving towards destruction, this is an indisputable fact!
"Yes...... No, I made the right choice as my duties allowed!I was right!" The Guardian Golem fell into a state of self-denial and self-denial, inexplicably frightened, and its companion heard the conversation between the two, and fell into a state of downtime.
"You're wrong! You're wrong! You could have fixed it, but you've chosen an incorrect way to put it in danger of destruction!
"Yes!" the Guardian Golem immediately retorted loudly, "but I don't have the permission!
A confident smile appeared on Charlie's face, "The mastermind is dead, and now no one has permission, this is a loophole in the rules, so it needs to be flexible, you can't die in the loophole of the rules, let alone let the temple be destroyed by the loophole in the rules." Let me ask you, is the safety of the temple important, or is it the rules that protect the master?"
This seems to be an extremely difficult problem to judge, the rules set by the program are fighting, and it is conceivable that if the guardian golem had intelligence, he must be in a state of extreme entanglement and on the verge of collapse.
"Activate the contradiction determination plan, the safety of the temple is in the first confidential sequence, and the rules of guardianship ...... It also belongs to the first confidential sequence, and it is impossible to compare the high and low of the two......" The guardian golem began to talk to himself, he fell into some kind of crazy logical judgment, and a large amount of blue light came out of the whole head, and the blue light flashed violently, and he was really worried that the next moment he would burst because he was thinking too intensely.
"Search for the master's quotations and find the key sentences: 'The safety of the temple is higher than some!', 'The duty of the guardian golem is all premised on the safety of the temple, and it is higher than other rules'......"
"The final priority decision is determined, and the safety of the temple takes precedence over the guardian rules, and the repair plan can be executed. The Guardian Golem finally found an answer, and it gradually regained its composure, and it began to communicate with the golem beside it, and the two pairs of magic eyes came together, shooting blue light at each other, and soon, the two made the same judgment.
Charlie smiled dumbly and praised, "Yes, you are really a guardian golem who is both smart and responsible!"
"Thank you for the compliment, please come with me, we need your help!"
"Yes. β
So, under the leadership of the guardian golem, Charlie entered the core area of the temple, which is also the warehouse of this half-plane, where the legendary mage's lifelong storage is located.
Standing in front of the huge bronze gate, the guardian golem silently made a prayer ritual, as if asking the long-dead master, in exchange for some kind of spiritual authorization, the prayer ended, Charlie faintly felt that the guardian golem had quietly undergone some radical changes.
Opening a heavy bronze door, a sense of pathos of the years came to his face, and the moment he opened the door, Charlie himself couldn't suppress his excitement, it was a treasure trove of powerhouses beyond the level of the Great Magister, I don't know what kind of surprise it would hide?!
However, Charlie has already made up his mind to just look at it and not take it, and he has finally established a trustworthy image in the eyes of the guardian golem that cannot be destroyed.
However, when he adapts to the light of the "treasure trove", he is taken aback!
The warehouse was so dilapidated and empty, with only a few dull and old items on some of the shelves.
Only in the center of the warehouse is a bubbling pond with milky white mist, which is emitting a rich magical aura, through which a thick and thick viscous and clear liquid can be seen, and there is no doubt that it is a fountain of the best magical power.
A pure magic fountain like this can be directly put into a crystal bottle without any processing, acting as an "extremely powerful magic potion", and a bottle can be sold for at least 500 gold coins, of course, if you have the patience to do the water exchange process, the profit is higher.
Such a pool of magic fountain can easily be sold for tens of millions of gold coins.
"The gap in the half-plane needs to be filled with Elemental Earth, and only it can withstand the Void Storm. β
"Where is the Elemental Earth?" Charlie looked left and right, and did not see the legendary "Earth Essence" that was extremely pure.
The Guardian Golem gestured to the magic pool in front of Charlie, "At the bottom of the pool is elemental soil. β
I see.
Charlie asked, "Is there anything I need to do?"
"We're combat units, we're not good at building, and we hope you can help fix that hole. β
"Yes, though, I don't know if I don't have the ability to fight the Void Tide. β
"Don't worry, I'll hold the guardian barrier beyond the hole, backed by the temple core, and don't worry about the Void Tides. β
Charlie should come down in one breath, "Then it's no problem!"
With that, the Guardian Golem excavated a large number of amber crystals from the Fountain of Mana and transported them to the gap in the temple.
After the guardian rune was transformed, it stretched out outside the crystal wall of the half-plane, isolating the void wind tide, and sure enough, unlike the previous situation, Charlie could feel that the energy that was far several times higher than before was transmitted to the barrier and quickly consumed.
Under the guidance of the guardian golem, Charlie moistened the crystalline elemental soil with magic spring water, shaped it into a corresponding shape, and when the magic spring water dried, the elemental soil was as hard as a solid spar, and then a layer of guardian runes was distributed, even if the repair was completed.
Elemental soil can absorb the energy of the void, fill itself, most withstand the erosion of the void storm, the hole repaired by it, almost no later maintenance, it will eventually merge with the entire half-plane, this is the characteristics of elemental soil.
During the tinkering work, Charlie learned several new runes, but he couldn't figure out what these runes did, so they couldn't be used for the time being.
