Chapter 0014: Whether It's a Puppet or Whatever... Please do not continue using it after the expiration date

Luo Xiaotian inserted the diamond-shaped key that he had put away before into the groove just right, and twisted it slightly.

"Huh, can't you open it?"

Unexpectedly, the key, which was still very good before, lost its effect.

"What should I do? Do you want to try to force open this door? I have a hunch that the contents must be valuable. ”

"Master Karl, I suggest you don't do that. Not to mention whether an ancient magician's room can be opened by force, even if it does, I am afraid that the defensive traps that are still running will hurt us. Since everything is working so well here, I don't think these defensive traps will fail. ”

Albert, who had been silent all the way, finally raised his objection when Marx was about to make a strong attack.

"Hmm... Then, as you suggest, let's go over the room and go on. ”

The spiral staircase on the outside resembles a vine wrapped around the tree, slowly guiding people downward.

"The room on this floor still can't be opened! It's already three floors!"

Marx shook his fist in annoyance.

"I think as long as I can get out, I can go back and deal with the rest slowly. At least I think the Wizards Guild you mentioned earlier would be interested in such a ruin. ”

"Of course the Wizards' Guild will be interested, but if it were to be handed over to them, it would be nothing for us. Nina: Is your family interested in this ancient relic of magic, now is the time to rely on the strength of the family. ”

"I'll go back and ask, I'm not sure what they think, my dad doesn't seem very interested in that. ”

"Anyway... Let's keep going down and find a way to get out first!"

"Why do I feel farther and farther away from getting out?..."

Luo Xiaotian pretended not to hear Nina's whispered muttering, and took the candle to the next floor.

"There's no lock on this floor!"

The room on the next floor is different from the previous one, except that it has an ordinary door with no diamond-shaped keyhole on it, and it opens with a light push.

"Warning! There is an invasion of living organisms, threat level five, it is recommended to release the rock golems... Error, Unable to establish connection with the rock golem, try to establish a connection with the steel golem... Error, Unable to establish connection...... Tried to establish a connection with the dirt golem, the connection has been successfully established!"

"What's that!?"

"We're going to hurry, we can't deal with even the lowliest-level dirt golems!"

Marx urged Luo Xiaotian anxiously, and Luo Xiaotian glanced at the room that had just been opened, and there was nothing in it.

"Well, let's hurry up then!"

The further down you go, the longer it seems to take, that is to say the further down you go, the larger the area of each floor, which is like a tower.

"Wait a minute, listen! It's coming up from below!"

The sound of heavy footsteps came from downstairs, and there was no choice, Luo Xiaotian opened the door on this floor and led everyone to find a new way out, or find a place to hide.

As expected, the floor was divided into several rooms, and when one of the doors opened, it appeared to be an assembly shop for some kind of device, strewn with metal components that had been rusted so hard to see the outline.

"Looks like they're coming in, coming at us!"

Luo Xiaotian put his ear to the floor, although slowly, the sound of movement was indeed slowly approaching this side.

"Why so fast!?"

Marx seemed a little nervous, constantly fiddling with his neckline, as if it was too tight for him to breathe.

"I'm afraid it has something to do with the sound from before. ”

"It must be a Taling... This is a magic tower, I finally remember, why does this place feel so familiar, this is the most commonly used magic tower structure by ancient magicians, if it weren't for it buried in the ground and only the top layer exposed, I would definitely find it!"

"Compared to these, how are the dirt golems going to deal with them?"

“... Destroy its core with great power or magic... But I don't think that's something we can do, even if it's a dirt puppet. ”

“... Anyway, let's block the door first!

The heavy stone platform could not be pushed even by everyone's efforts, and it seemed that it had been firmly bonded to the floor by the effect of time.

Thankfully, there were metal shelves for the items, heavy enough and sturdy enough to block the entire door along with the corroded metal frames.

"Boom!"

As soon as the work was done, the door was slammed from the outside in, revealing a gap in the door that had been tightly sealed, revealing a gap where the yellow-colored mud golem could be seen outside.

"No! I can't stop it if it goes on like this!"

"Master Karl, let's stop it, you hurry up and find out if there is any other way!"

Albert took the remaining two mercenaries, three of whom leaned against the door and the metal frame behind it. Except for Albert, one of the remaining mercenaries was a former scout, and the other was holding an unwielding spear in his hand, which had been thrown aside by him.

Marx searched the room with the remaining five or six people, and perhaps this was the last chance.

"Found it, but it's also locked..."

Marx pushed open a pile of miscellaneous objects for unknown use and found the metal door of the back door.

"Don't worry about the lock, just smash it open!"

Luo Xiaotian took the iron-chisel-like metal rod that looked handy and inserted it into the gap on the side of the door.

"Bang!"

Here, Luo Xiaotian hadn't been able to pry open the door with a metal rod, and there was already danger in the rear. The power of the mud golem is indeed not something that just three ordinary humans can resist, even if it adds a heavy metal to no avail.

The three mercenaries were shaken away by the tremendous force and fell to the ground, letting out a snort of pain.

Albert wasn't a knight, he wasn't even a knight's squire, otherwise, he might have been able to do a certain thing, instead of being as fragmented as a rag.

The Marx family was a new aristocracy, and the barons did not attract enough knights to join, and the only official knight was responsible for protecting Marx's father, Wesley Marx, and Albert's mercenary squad was more of a daily vigilance.

This is what Luo Xiaotian asked Marx on the way here.

"Ahh!!h

Lily, who was too panicked, subconsciously used the fireball technique, and hundreds of practices had already made her very proficient.

With a "boom", a red fireball exploded on the dirt golem's body, leaving only a faint scorched black mark.

"I can use magic!

For some reason, everyone was no longer affected by the effects of the Forbidden Demon Realm, so they used their magic to attack the clay golems.

"Attack the golem's legs with ice archery! Attack anywhere else doesn't help! Know that these are zero-ring magic!"

The three mercenaries who got up picked up their weapons, except for the scout with daggers who could not attack the dirt golem, the spear and long knife could only leave shallow traces on the dirt golem, due to the slow movement of the mud golem, the long weapon played a good role, and it was impossible to attack the core of the mud golem if it continued like this.

On the other hand, Marx's proposal worked, as the ice arrows froze the joints of the legs and the soles of the feet on the ground of the earth golems. Although it doesn't last long, it still slows down the dirt golems.

Finally, Luo Xiaotian broke a metal rod and pried open the locked door.

It's a blessing that the expected defensive trap didn't appear.

"Come in, everybody!"

Shouting to the others, Luo Xiaotian entered the room first, followed by Nina.

"This room ?..."

Whether it was the four walls, the ceiling and the floor, they were all covered by a dense magic array, and the silver lines reflected a flickering brilliance under the light of the candle in Luo Xiaotian's hand.

Unfortunately, there is no exit to the rest of the place, and it seems to be a dead place.

"Ronald, the magic I'll use later has a chance to freeze the entire dirt golem completely, you and Nina cover me!"

"What magic?"

"Oh, I'm talking to you about this! Get ready, the dirt golem is coming!"

When everyone entered the room full of magic arrays, they were sealed in the middle of the Weng, and the despair instantly crushed everyone, and some people sat on the ground as if they had given up.

"Give me ten seconds, Nina!

The mermaid princess Helen whispered to Luo Xiaotian and Nina.

Suddenly, the dirt golem stopped.

"Well, it's finally out of control. ”

A somewhat hoarse voice came out of the mouth of the clay puppet, and this feeling of no tone reminded Luo Xiaotian of the robots he had seen in the movies of the previous life.

"Wait a minute, Helen, it seems that there is no danger!"

"Hmph..."

With a muffled snort, the spell caster stopped, and Helen's spirit seemed to dissipate a lot immediately.

"Hello, I think I'm supposed to be the last dirt golem in this magic tower! I'm sorry if I attacked you before, it's not under my control, by the way, you can call me Neil, before that, all clay golems were called Neil. ”

"You... Can you talk?!"

"Of course I can speak, I have been able to speak since 5,000 years ago, but unfortunately the other puppets will only do the same job mechanically, until finally I am the only one left. ”

"What do you mean when you say you're no longer in control?"

Luo Xiaotian asked instead of Marx.

"That's Taling, it's more powerful than me, and under his control, I'm going to attack you back, even if he's just a real puppet who works exactly as his master set it to be. ”

"What about the owner of this magic tower?"

"Master, the master is long gone, we don't know where he went, he created this place, left us in this magic tower and disappeared, Tallinn according to his settings, year after year, day after day to maintain the magic array and equipment here, including the outside, unfortunately, nothing can withstand the invasion of time. Okay, the rest of the questions, you have been to the core of the magic tower will naturally understand, the tower spirit is also there, as long as the tower spirit is closed, this tower will no longer be in danger, then, I will wait here, this room can ensure that I am no longer controlled by the tower spirit. ”
