Chapter 111: Golem
The flickering candles flickered on and off, and in the light of those rays were rows of neatly arranged magical books and documents, a treasure trove of knowledge. No scholar or anyone interested in magic www.biquge.info would miss such a good opportunity, for whom it was a gift from the gods.
Gillens kept his head down and wrote tirelessly on parchment, which was his job. Some people think that he is no longer familiar with magic, and the reason for this is because Gillens has not been in combat for a long time. But for Uma, this statement is obviously very stupid. He knew in his heart that for those who were willing to speak ill of Gillens behind their backs, Mr. Gillens would be able to turn them into steaming barbecue with just a snap of his fingers.
It all has a lot to do with Gilens' personality, most people think of him as just a little old man who never laughs. And in some things he was too harsh, which led to his bad image in the minds of the magic apprentices. But mature people will understand that this kind of thing can never be seen only on the surface, and Gillence has always quietly cared for the apprentices in his heart, even if they don't know it.
Uma stood beside Gilens, his expression a little nervous, and he looked at the closed door from time to time, as if he was waiting for something. It could be a visitor, an important piece of news, or just some magic apprentice coming to suffer from Gilens' reprimand.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and it sounded very chaotic and unrhythmic, which seemed to prove that the person was very nervous. Uma immediately stepped forward and opened the door, and Maffeo's nervous face came into view.
"Good luck. Uma said softly.
"I will. Maffeo nodded.
Maffeo walked into the room, and Uma prepared to leave. He knew that the next master of this room would be Mr. Gilens, and he would never allow anyone to disturb his conversation. But this time it was different, and Gillens stopped Uma, "No, Uma, you don't have to go out, just stand next to me, okay?"
Uma was a little surprised, but that didn't stop him from following Gilens' orders, and he gently closed the door and returned to the place where he had been standing, which made him look like Gilens' bodyguard.
"You can sit down and have a hot cup of tea, Mr. Fry. Girlens said in a tone of obvious disgust, it was naturally because of Maffeo's ghost hand, and it was unbelievable to be able to communicate with someone with a ghost hand in such a peaceful way.
Uma brought a cup of hot tea to Maffeo, who gently thanked him.
"An apprentice told me that he could hear the tremors of the stone giants in his dreams. Gillens whispered.
"You know it's out of fear. Maffeo plucked up the courage to say the first words.
"Yes, I know. So that's why I'm looking for you. Gillens put down the quill pen in his hand, picked up the hot coffee beside him, and took a sip. "So let's start from the beginning, you're the first to reach Golem's territory, right?"
Maffeo nodded, "No, and Marcos and Freya. To be honest, I was shocked to see those guys, and anyone would be shocked to see that huge body. ”
"So, you met those Golems and fought?"
"Yes, after the battle we found that we couldn't cut those golems with our swords, and that was a very difficult thing. Maffeo's face was a little ugly.
"And you and your companions fled like rats?" said Gilens, a little sarcastically.
Maffeo stood up suddenly, because of the anger that suddenly surged from within. "If you called me here to taunt us, then please forgive me for my rudeness, I can't continue to talk to you. ”
Uma nervously muttered in a voice that only she could hear, "Damn it, are you crazy?"
Unmoved by Maffeo's anger, Gilens looked at Maffeo with a slight disdain. "Mr. Fry, your straightforward personality will eventually drag you into the endless abyss, so I hope you can calm down, I don't like rude guys. ”
Maffeo remembered Marcos' many admonitions to him, but in the end he tried to calm himself down, and he did it anyway. "I'm sorry. Maffeo sat back on the bench.
"The road to the upper level is completely blocked, and you also met that giant golden stone giant Platani, right?"
"That's right. ”
"When you got back to the West Coast, you asked Dean Sharan about Golem?"
"Yes, it was April 10th, the third day after the discovery of Golem's territory. ”
......
Maffeo, Marcos, and Freya lingered at the gate of the Academy of Magic for a long time, waiting for about half an hour. The golems with their strong defenses made them helpless for a moment, their swords could not shake their huge bodies, and bullets could not penetrate their bodies.
Finally, the three of them waited for the person they wanted to see - Sharan. She walked down the stairs of the academy gate with a reserved attitude and came to the three of them. "What do you want me to do?"
"I know you're busy, so I apologize. Marcos said.
"It's okay, Mr. Cheney. If I can do it, I'd be happy to help you. Sharan replied with a smile.
Marcos nodded, then cut to the chase. "On the one hundred and twentieth floor, we found a huge monster made of stones, and at the end of the road to the upper level, there was a huge creature made of gold blocking the way. We tried to defeat it, but found it difficult for our weapons to deal effective damage to it. ”
Sharan put away her smile, and the expression on her face became a little grim. "It's a magical lifeform created by a puppeteer, and we usually call them Golem. During the reign of Bakar, they were mainly responsible for transporting materials and guarding the castle in the sky. The intelligence of those stone giants is negligible, because whether it is a hundred years or a thousand years, they will only obey the orders of their masters, what do you think is the last order they accept?"
"Destroy all invaders. Marcos replied directly.
Sharan nodded, "That's right, so what do you think they use to drive their massive bodies?" she smiled again.
This Marcos couldn't answer for a while, and he didn't know much about such things as magical lifeforms. Freya pondered for a moment before speaking, "I think it should be something similar to a power source." ”
"That's the answer, congratulations, Miss Steele. Sharan looked at Freya with some appreciation.
Maffeo was surprised, "God, Freya, why are we bothering Dean Sharan since you know?"
Freya hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, it's just that Dean Shalan gave me some hints." In the Celestial Realm, any mechanical activation requires a power source, and I wonder if Golem will have the same principles as those machines. ”
"That sounds ridiculous. Maffeo said, spreading his hands. "But, you guessed it, it's amazing. ”
"Well, I think I'm just lucky. Freya shook her head.
Sharan continued, "There's another way, and that's to kill the puppeteers who control the Golems, which will cause the Golems to become a spirit state in which you can easily defeat it. But I don't think that's going to work for that Golem, there's only so much I can do to help you. Of course, this is just the reason for Shalan's modesty, in fact, this information has allowed everyone to discuss the countermeasures against Golem. After thanking them, the three of them watched as Sharan walked into the academy and left the academy gate.
