"If this were a game, I'd level up right now - killing an Aether Golem would have been a lot of XP! I guess I could go straight to level ninety-nine. Qian Jing ate the Legion bread, drank the Legion juice, and talked endlessly. He sat side by side with Huga on a protruding platform in the tower, enjoying a rare moment of peace – like a true free man.

"I don't understand it, but it seems to be funny. Is it very powerful to be able to play games on your planet?" "For the sake of safety, Huga only has legion bread to eat, and the monotonous and boring taste makes him frown, so the head who loses in the guess has to take on the "heavy responsibility" of eating bread, and the other can talk to his heart's content: "Earth, if there is a chance, I will definitely ......"

It must have been said before the words were spoken, so Qian Jing hurriedly stopped: "Don't say it any further." In our culture, such random wishes can bring bad luck. Wishes can be kept in the heart, as long as you work hard to achieve them, there is no need to let others know. ”

"Is your planet like this? The will of the world does not even care about making wishes? It's a strange place. Hu Ga didn't quite believe this, but considering that Qian Jing was also a magician—or a powerful magician who could make himself smaller—he decided to be more careful. "What are we going to do next? Wait here, or go to the control tower and watch the excitement?"

"Let's go to the Control Tower. Qian Jing thought for a while and said, "I feel that although listening to Liu Ming and their meaning, it seems that they don't need our help, but I think they will still be very happy to see us." Besides, if they manage to take the Control Tower, they will be able to travel to the Fortress at any time. Wouldn't it be dangerous for the two of us to sit outside?"

"As long as we don't leave the ground or the tower, we're safe—but the control tower is definitely safer than here. Hu Ga squinted his eyes and looked around: "Hmm...... We came from that direction just now, and we went around in circles with the Aether Golem, so that tower should be the Control Tower!"

Looking in the direction of Hu Ka's finger, behind the violently curved horizon, Qian Jing saw an exposed spire. Although the distance is not close, fortunately, the outer surface of the half-dimensional castle is not guarded, so it only takes some effort to walk over, and there will be no bloodshed and sacrifice.

"Oh, that completely cylindrical tower over there without any decoration should be the prison tower where we are being held, right? You see, there seems to be a fire underneath, and there must be a fight. Hopefully that aether golem over there will be dealt with too, that thing is just too annoying. After Qian Jing finished eating and drinking, he suddenly thought of something: "Hu Ga, what is this tower under our butt for?"

Hu Ga was stunned for a moment, and then the two heads went up and down, and began to look carefully.

"Little man, we might be starting to get lucky. The two-headed ogre's eyes gleamed with excitement, and his two large hands kept rubbing together. "Little man, can you still use the magic of digging holes through the wall again? There must be treasures in this tower!"

Huga guessed the tower's function by analyzing its protective magic, and judged that it was a treasure trove. Qian Jing couldn't read so many magic runes, but he saw a door that could be opened outward. The outer environment of the half-dimensional castle is relatively harsh, and there is a vast void to provide protection in the outer layer, so there is no need to work on the outer surface in normal times. Qian Jing and Hu Ga have been sitting on the platform for a while, and they haven't seen a third person appear. A few solitary magic towers, with only a few windows at best, and beneath their feet, the only door found so far that opened outward.

The gap in the door frame outlines the size of the entrance, and the width may not say much, but the height of more than ten meters is obviously not designed for magicians. Hu Ga immediately thought of the Golem, and it was likely to be a behemoth like the Guardian Golem. "Guards like the Aether Golem who can move on their own are not very large," Hu Ga explained, "The taller and more complex the Golem, the more it requires real intelligence to control. Some of the advanced models of the Ant Golem require a driver, while the more powerful Eagle requires two or more pilots - but we can handle one as well. ”

"Can you deal with the Guardian Golem?"

"If surrender is a solution, then we can deal with it. Hu Ga waved his hand and slapped the Qian Jing, "What do you think? The success of guarding the Golem is to extinguish the possibility of personal resistance against them. You'll have to have at least one army, and a very strong army, to defeat the Guardian Golem. Wish it wasn't behind the door......"

"Don't make a wish!" Qian Jing hurriedly said: "Huga, do you see the opening direction of this platform and the door, does it look like the exit of the golem? If the fighting on the prison side spreads outside, the mage will most likely use the Golem. So, we'll have to go in and have a look, if only we could destroy it beforehand. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, are you waiting for me to make a hole in this solid magic wall with my hands?" Hu Ga covered his forehead at the same time and said: "Villain, you handled it better this time, I don't want to be smaller anymore!"

The result is more precise and rigorous calculations, safer designs, and more careful exploration. Qian Jing walked over first, making sure that the Mind Shaping Ink didn't jump out to correct the body shape mistake this time, so he let the two-headed ogre crawl over.

Behind the walls is a huge hangar, and some kind of spatial magic creates a larger effect on the inside than on the outside. Qian Jing had already seen this kind of magic technique at the scene of the Ultimate Magic Contest to be Sai Xing, and he was no longer surprised. The only thing that attracted him now was the two-story two-story golem that was about three stories tall and was perched on a stand.

"Guardian Golem!" Hu Ga snorted: "One for each person, let's divide it!"

Stealing a book is stealing, but stealing an enemy is definitely not stealing. The Guardian Golem has the earthy yellow of the earth and the solid gray of the rock, and its broad shoulders and strong limbs are full of explosive power. Beneath its sleek and flat crystal shell, the Aether Golem-like magical energy system is larger and more versatile, and the two red eyes on its flat head are more advanced elemental ray emitters, and that's only a fraction of its combat capabilities.

In addition to the two tall Guardian Golems, there are a dozen other golems in the hangar, but with the best in sight, who cares about the others?" Villains, these magicians are very rich, and if they pull their hands out of the magic ritual, these golems will be enough to sabotage all of our escape attempts. ”

"No need to find any more reasons," Qian Jing wiped his saliva: "Just tell me how to drive this golem!"

The two-headed ogre claims to be only eight years old, but he also says that he has worked in many places. His experience at the Teleportation Institute taught him how to build standard portals, and his time at the Golem Academy taught him how to disassemble and drive a Golem. Qian Jing began to wonder if the year on the Ogre Planet was much longer than that on Earth, or if Hu Ga would suddenly learn the corresponding skills from "a certain research institute in the past" according to the needs of the scene.

The Guardian Golem is a very classic of the single-player golems, and has been praised in many magical civilizations in the world. The standard frame structure and modular design allow it to adapt to the needs of different customers and work stably in various environments. And its remote control module allows the physically weak magician to manipulate the product from a safer distance.

"Gotta dismantle the remote control!" Huga climbed up the back of the Guardian Golem along the stand, his fingers gently moving along the center of the golem. "Here!" he pressed down hard, and a gentle electric current activated the Guardian Golem's hidden mechanism.

"It's the external button that opens the cockpit, and it's on the right side of the center of the back, and you can feel a depression that you can press down. If an enemy touches the turn button, you have five seconds to give the cancellation command in the cockpit. Hu Ga seized all the time to popularize the knowledge of the golem to Qian Jing: "Always remember that no one wants to fight the golem, and everyone is trying their best to kill you inside the golem." So, you have to let the Golem protect you, not you. ”

Qian Jing nodded, of course he wouldn't use his body to protect the golem, wouldn't it be stupid to look for that? According to Hu Ga's instructions, he quickly found the button, opened the cockpit canopy, and then took out the metal ball covered with magic runes inside—that is, the remote control module.

"One Guardian Golem is equivalent to two hundred Destiny Coins, not counting the cost of the time you have to wait after ordering. This thing is worth a lot of money if you sell it, don't break it!" Hu Ga came to Qian Jing's side and first told him where his hands, feet, and body should be placed, "The limbs and body are mainly to assist in the balance of the body and prevent you from rolling around in it." Manipulating a golem requires elemental communication, much like manipulating spells. Thankfully, you're a magician, and your friends on Earth have no hope of manipulating this thing. Remember, get into meditation. You're manipulating an extended elemental limb, not an iron lump. The Guardian Golem is a larger mirror of the water elemental, and that's a good thing to keep in mind. ”

"So, where are the Golem's weapon systems?" Qian Jing has ever driven a bumper car, and he has never driven a car, but he has always had the desire to drive a large humanoid robot, and has "trained" on computer games. "I see that the Guardian Golem on the fortress star can fly high, jump far, and drill into the ground, how should I do this?"

"Meditate as deeply as you can, and you'll naturally know. The Guardian Golem was designed with this in mind, and if you can give you clear enough instructions, it will find a way to make it happen. It's like riding a wolf, you don't need to know how the wolf's bones and muscles move. After Hu Ga's body became smaller, he easily squeezed into the cockpit. He waved his hand at Qian Jing: "Don't look at me, hurry up and get used to it." Oh yes, we're going to have to tear down all the other golems in this warehouse in a moment, so we can't leave the magicians with the possibility to use them. ”

Oh yes, of course. Qian Jing entered the "own" guardian golem and adjusted his body's posture with the help of the fluorescence inside. The humanoid golem is designed for humanoid creatures, and the space inside is also considered in this regard. Even a two-headed ogre like Hu Ga can be stuffed into the cockpit, and Qian Jing's body shape is not much different from that of a fortress star, so it's even more of a problem in this regard.

There's no steering wheel, no gas throttle, no hand stops, no display, no buttons, but there is a chair. Qian Jing squeezed into the chair, and it felt like an astronaut getting into a rocket launch bay. He adjusted his breathing, lay his head back gently, and placed his hands and feet slightly apart into the soft leather grooves. "Meditate, then call on the elements, just like casting a water-locking spell!"

A chill rose from his seat, enveloping Qian Jing's body and limbs, and then gradually warmed up, eventually becoming exactly the same as his body temperature. At this point, the cockpit doors begin to close, and the fluorescence in the cabin gradually fades. With the help of the last ray of light coming in from outside, Qian Jing found that he was wrapped in a film of water and fixed to the seat.

"Water elemental?" Qian Jing felt it carefully, and found that this layer of water film was no different from the water locking spell. On the one hand, it acts as a seatbelt-like fixation, and on the other hand, it is also a transitional medium between the driver and the golem. Qian Jing did not have the slightest talent in the realm of other elements other than the water element, so only water appeared from the golem cockpit.

"The water was fine, it was wet at most when I went out. The other magicians of the fortress star won't be sprinkled with sand in this, right?" Qian Jing blinked: "It's pitch black here, how do you look outside?"

It is not difficult to make a water element harness, but it is not so easy to make a sensory connection. Hu Ga didn't tell Qian Jing the tricks in detail, mainly because he always had an illusion: he could use magic to create a magical wall-piercing enchantment, which showed that Qian Jing had already mastered the basic elemental communication skills, and talking too much nagging would be annoying.

Qian Jing opened and closed his eyes several times, but it was still dark in his vision, and there was a closed silence in his ears, only the sound of his own breathing and the faint sound of water echoing inside. "There's some kind of cold metal in front of me, not a monitor, so it's certainly not with eyes here. Hurga said that everything is related to meditation, so I should open my eyes and feel the elements around me. So, I should ask the Golem to provide me with some sort of elemental echo radar?"

Magic, which is the use of thoughts to affect the surrounding matter, is a higher stage of "seeing the world from a different perspective". Qian Jing no longer struggles with what to "see", but focuses on "feeling" the situation around him. Gradually, he received a blurry image of the golem in his mind, as if looking around through frosted glass.

Meditation, concentration, and constant adjustment of communication with the elements around you, the vague sensation gradually becomes clear, and the barrier of ground glass quickly weakens. The water element passes through the Golem, presenting an environmental map composed of the four elements for the Qian Mirror. Black earth, transparent air, red fire and blue water, or black, red, and blue, are fused in different proportions to reveal the elemental composition of all the surrounding matter.

Qian Jing looked at "himself", the golem he was driving was pure blue, and the water element was absolutely dominant. Turning his head to look around, Hu Ga's golem was shrouded in a pale white aura of qi element, and the special effects were much more advanced.

Hey, I just finished turning my head?!After Qian Jing reacted, he began to try to move his hands and feet. Surprisingly, it seemed much easier than looking around, and the blue Guardian Golem was very nimble enough to break free from the shackles of the stand and stand in the open space of the warehouse.

Huga's golem was just starting to warm up at this time.
