Chapter XXVI: The Bronze Golem
Walking through the shadowed streets, they came to a towering black church with eerie blood-colored spider motifs carved into its walls.
"Why are there so many churches in this ghostly place?" Lin looked up.
"Because it used to be a gathering place for believers. Alice gripped the scimitar at her waist.
"It's a pity that there are no more true believers here, only a bunch of unbelievers. Hardy said coldly.
"Come in. The swarthy elf pushed open the church door.
The inside of the church was extremely cold, and the walls were hung with cold blue lampstands, and the scarlet light spread out, like a blood-colored slaughterhouse.
A tall, pale elf half-knelt in front of a bronze golem, her short gray hair standing up like spikes, and a sense of solemnity kept emanating.
The bronze golem has a spider-like face, but a humanoid body.
"May you live forever in darkness, my lord. The gray-haired elf turned slowly.
In the shadows, two dark purple rays suddenly lit up, and the gray-haired elf's eyes showed a magnificent purple color, and there was a strange soul absorbing power coming.
"Welcome here, outsider, I am a believer in the Spider Goddess, Adolf. ”
"Adolf?" Lin Chong narrowed his eyes slightly, the aura on this Adolf's body was extremely strange, as if there were two intertwined souls hidden in his body.
"What did you call us for?" Hardy said coldly.
"Do you know the day of the eclipse?" said Adolf.
"On the day of the lunar eclipse?" Lin asked seriously.
"Every ten years, the Blue Moon in the Realm of Chaos turns bloody, which we call the Day of the Lunar Eclipse, and on this day, part of the closed battlefield of gods and demons will be opened. Alice said solemnly.
"Yes, there are many fragments of ancient artifacts and stumps of gods and demons in the battlefield of gods and demons, and if you are lucky, you may even be able to obtain extremely rare magic materials. Adolf said.
"It's extremely dangerous inside, though, because the magic elements are even more chaotic than here, and the magic usage rate will be reduced to one in the thirties. Alice continued.
"In other words, you want to invite us to the Gods and Demons Battlefield?" Hardy said coldly.
"That's right. Adolf laughed.
"How do you know that we will promise you?" Lin Zhong laughed, but he was already moved, because the witchcraft on his body was completely unaffected.
If he got inside, he could kill all over the world and get what he needed.
"Hehe, I don't think any magician can refuse the water of life. Adolf snapped his fingers, and a drop of water as bright as a diamond floated in the air.
A strong life force came from above, and a look of greed flashed in both Hardy and Alice's eyes.
"Where did you get that?" Hardy's voice snapped.
"Ten years ago, I was the only one who knew where the Water of Life was, but it was dangerous, and I needed some help. Adolf laughed.
"Water of Life?" Lin Chong squinted slightly.
This thing is a scarce resource for prolonging life, and every time the strength of a mage increases, it will increase a long lifespan, but if it can't be broken, it means death.
The eaux-de-vie can help some mages prolong their lives and prevent death before a breakthrough.
"I promise you, Lin Chong, what about you?" Hardy asked.
"I don't have any problems either. Lin Zhong laughed, maybe in that place, he could find some items about wizards, because there seemed to be many wizards in this world.
"But before I do that, I need to test your strength. Adolf suddenly smiled slightly, and a dark purple light welled up on his body.
Woohoo!
When Hardy and the others were surprised, the dark purple spider silk flew in the direction of Lin Zhong like lightning, and a layer of blood-colored electricity could be faintly seen floating on it.
"Strength?" Lin Chong's laughter suddenly rang out, and a pitch-black flame burst out from his right hand, like a black python pounced on the dark purple spider silk.
In just an instant, the dark purple spider silk turned into nothingness, and Lin Chong's body was slightly empty, and the huge and incomparably large atmosphere rolled in the church, as if a storm had been generated.
Adolf's eyes changed slightly, and he saw a dark purple spider the size of a car appear on his back.
But in the next second, the green liquid spread out in all directions, and the dark purple spider on his back instantly shattered, and a thick palm pressed against his back.
"Is it okay?"
Lin Chong's voice sounded behind Adolf, and a pitch-black demonic fire burned on his right hand, like a fierce beast that chose people to devour.
"That's it. Adolf's eyes narrowed, and a huge silver blade suddenly appeared on Lin Chong's neck.
"I didn't expect you to have this ability. Lin Zhong laughed, and a jet-black fire suddenly ignited on his neck, turning the silver blade into flying ashes.
"You're good. Adolf said lightly, but a hint of horror flashed in his eyes.
Hardy and Alice also looked surprised.
"Do I still need to test my strength?" asked Hada.
"No need, Hardy, the fire magister of the Rothil family, how could I not know him. Adolf smiled, and the aura on his body suddenly dissipated.
"I'll see you in half a month. Hardy said coldly.
"I'm looking forward to that god and demon battlefield. Lin Zhong smiled and followed Hardy's footsteps, while Alice followed behind the two in some surprise.
Get out of the church.
Lin Chong and the others were led by the swarthy elves to a nearby inn, which also seemed to have been converted from a church, and the marble pillars were full of treacherous stone carvings.
Lin Zhong walked into his hut and found that there was only a simple small bed inside, and on the wall was a gray oil painting, which appeared to be an elven priest.
"It's really damp. Lin Zhong touched the somewhat sticky bed, and the air was full of musty smell.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door, Lin Zhong got up and opened the wooden door, only to see an elf girl in shabby clothes standing at the door: "Do you need special services?"
"Service?" Lin Chong squinted, the elf girl looked extremely delicate, her eyes and hair were pale pink, and her figure seemed to be good.
"Yes, it only takes a thousand fars, and that's fine. The elf girl snorted, looking a little flustered.
"Come in. Lin Zhong opened the door and motioned for the elf girl to come in.
"Sir, you can call me Kelly. Kelly walked in with her head down and walked towards the bed.
"Kelly, your name is good, and your acting skills are good. Lin Zhong suddenly pressed his back against the wooden door, showing a playful smile.
"What are you talking about, sir?" said Kelly, her face a little pale.
"What do you think? You think this trick will fool me? I'm not like the idiots who think with their lower bodies. Lin Chong smiled coldly.
