The moment Thorne stepped into the first floor of the tower.

In the pitch-black space, four scarlet rays of light flickered during the sudden decrease, like four sharp swords, all locked on him.

Feeling the four dazzling red spots on his body, Thorne, whose eyes were slightly drooping, suddenly felt an inexplicable heart palpitations.

It feels like you have just stepped into the dark jungle and been stared at by the evil beast hidden in the dark, as if it will launch a deadly swoosh at you at any time.

"Find the intruder, start the self-defense protection program!"

The cold mechanical alarm sounded one after another, like two pieces of metal rubbing against each other, and reverberated in this dark tower. The unpleasant sound made the scalp numb.

Aware that the light was too dazzling, Thorne subconsciously pulled down the brim of his hat, and then looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

The "dark vision" feature attached to the elf's blood allows him to easily discover hidden enemies.

It turned out to be two clay golems!

Looking at the two constructs about 2.5 meters high, Thorne looked slightly startled.

These are two golems made of clay. The blurred facial features of the two constructive creatures look distorted and weird, like the facial expressions of suffering, and the blood-red dazzling light is coming from their two pupils. shot in.

In addition to allowing clay golems to lock on to their targets, making it easier to attack enemies, this light also has an infrared-like effect, giving them the ability to see in the dark.

Their chests are very broad, their arms are connected to their shoulders by a thick metal joint, the length of their hands can drop down to the knees, and their wrists are also inlaid with metal spiked bracers.

At the end are stubby fingers, and from the ground mace weapon in the hand, it can be found that they should be very flexible to wield.

The two clay golems had no necks, their heads looked broad and flat, and their legs were short and bent, as if they were bent by their heavy bodies.

But the soles of their feet are wide and flat, which obviously allows them to move and maintain their balance.

The two dark-yellow clay golems did not wear other equipment except for a metal block similar to a goggles mounted on their chests and a mace in their hands.

It can be seen from this that the core device of the clay golem must be hidden in a place covered by metal iron blocks. As long as the core device is destroyed, the clay golem will immediately crash into a state of death.

Because the core device of the clay golem is: the soul spar.

This is a kind of spirit from the elemental plane, these tiny sparks of life do not contain any memory, personality, and no history, but a pure drive for initiation and obedience.

When the internal structure and shape of the clay golem are completed, the last procedure, which is the most critical step, is to inlay the soul spar in the core position (chest) of the golem.

It is then activated with the "animate Constructed Life" spell, generating a simple will and making it obey the golem maker's commands.

For this kind of constructive creature clay golem, Thorne was fortunate enough to see it in Winter City, but the clay golem of Winter City looked softer and smoother than the one in front of him.

The two obviously hand-made clay golems in front of them are a bit rough, and they still drop dirt from time to time due to the friction of their limbs.

Although the two clay golems have been added by the makers for a lot of private goods, Thorne found through comparison that they still cannot compare with the clay golems produced in the streamlined factories of Winter City.

Thorne was still slightly surprised at the unexpected appearance of two clay golems in the tower.

Of course, he wasn't surprised by how terrifying the Constructed Golem in front of him was. What really surprised him was that there were still clay golem guards in this tower abandoned by the wizard.

Before leaving, Andrina also briefly explained the cost of constructing a golem to him. Since the main material of a clay golem is clay, the cost is the lowest, and the manufacturing price will cost about 20,000 gold coins.

That is to say, the cost of two clay golems cost at least 40,000 gold coins, and they were randomly discarded by the wizards for nearly a hundred years. Whether the wizards are too extravagant to look down on these things, or for some other reason, no one knows. .

It was this doubt that made Thorne think there must be something odd about this abandoned tower.

However, with the current situation, it is not the time for him to consider these things.

Because just when the two construct golems locked on Thorne, the foreign invader, they walked towards him with heavy steps.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The slow, heavy pace didn't sound so coherent, but made Thorne feel clunky, the rhythm of the walk was rhythm, the broad soles of his feet raised thick dust on the marble floor.

"The weight of these two construction golems is at least half a ton." Based on the cumbersome footsteps, Thorne immediately judged the approximate weight of the golems.

Then he tightened the Demon Slayer Sword in his hand, preparing for the attack of the Constructed Golem.

Constructed golems are immune to damage from almost all non-magical weapons, but the quality of the longsword in Thorne's hands is not comparable to that of ordinary magic weapons.

And it also comes with high fire damage, and it is easy to break the armor of the two constructs in front of you.

Just when Thorne had smelled the clay smell unique to the body of the clay golem, and was about to shoot.

Andrina just stepped into the tower, her eyes twinkled with a faint golden light, she first glanced at the two constructing golems that appeared, and then raised her head slightly to glance at the crystal embedded in the ceiling, her eyes floating slightly, Apparently a little surprised.

"It turned out to be a clay golem." Andrina sighed in surprise, then pondered a little, and immediately walked to Thorne's side to stop him: "Don't do it, let's come out first."

Thorne was stunned when he heard the words. Although he didn't quite understand what the sorceress meant, he didn't ask, but chose to do it immediately.

Because he understands that although the other party's occupation is a warlock and an advanced dragon warlock, and casting spells relies on blood, Andrina also has a wealth of mysterious knowledge.

Let him come out at this critical moment, there must be other purposes or ideas.

So Thorne and Andrina immediately withdrew from the tower.

Due to Thorne's sudden disappearance, the targets of the two clay golems also disappeared. They were hesitating in place, and the red light in their pupils flickered like a warning light, as if they were in a short-circuit state.

In this way, the short-circuit state of the two clay golems continued for a while, and then dragged their heavy steps and turned back to the place they were originally guarding.

And after they returned, the standing position completely coincided with the footprints left before, showing that even if they were not controlled by their masters, they would meticulously complete the last command.

In the end, the two clay golems disappeared with the red light in their pupils and fell directly into a standby state.

After walking out of the tower, Thorne briefly adapted to the bright morning light, and then looked at Andrina beside him and guessed, "Don't you plan to keep these two clay golems for your own use?"

If the other party really has a way to control the two clay golems, Thorne will definitely try his best to cooperate.

Although the clay golem is cumbersome and slow, it also has its own advantages.

As Challenge Level 9 Constructed Golems, they have powerful destructive power and defense capabilities that are immune to various damages. They are the most suitable for defense or attack.

"That's right." Andrina nodded slightly, then looked up at the top of the tower and said softly:

"Most makers of constructing golems will make a special amulet or other item at the same time when making a golem, so as to easily control the golem's every move, even if the maker of the golem disappears or dies, as long as The person who got this control device can also control the golem with ease."

"Then do you know where the controls of the two clay golems are?" Thorne asked, knowing what the other meant.

"I don't know." Andrina shook her head slightly, then glanced at Thorne and continued: "That's why I stopped you from taking action, just to find the control device of the golem, or you won't be able to use it if you break it. "

"But you saw it just now. As soon as we step into the tower, the two clay golems will immediately detect the presence of the intruder." Thorne glanced at the interior of the dark tower and said to her:

"Obviously the first floor of the tower is constantly covered by the wizards with detection spells that cover all directions. With the ability of the two of us, it is impossible to sneak past unless we find a device to detect spells and put it destroy it."

"Yes, but there is one thing I am curious about." After listening to Thorne's analysis, Andrina nodded, but did not answer his question, but looked at him with interest, and said with a smile: "You As a ranger, you must know too much about magic."

After she finished speaking, she walked a few more steps and pondered: "I came out of Winter City with you until now, and I found that you are very familiar with many spells that the caster will prepare."

"That's because I have the "Spell Recognition" skill. When I checked the spell information in the library of Winter City, I also read some knowledge about magic. "

Thorne didn't quite understand what the other party meant, but he still replied truthfully: "Although not very sophisticated, I still know a little about the simple structure and formation of magic."

"Spell recognition" is a skill that must be mastered to deal with the attack of the caster. Thorne is naturally very clear about this, otherwise he would not waste time learning this skill.

When a low-level spellcaster casts a spell, it may be due to the jerky action, and it will be cast according to the casting action and spell in a step-by-step manner.

This kind of rookie, the low-level "Spell Recognition" skill can easily judge the spell that the opponent is about to cast, and then deal with it early.

However, those high-level spellcaster professions are much more skilled. When they cast spells, they usually use a simple zero-level juggling action, and they can often create a powerful spell with three or more levels.

At this time, high-level "Spell Recognition" skills can play a key role.

Having mastered the high-level "Spell Recognition" skill, you can judge the opponent's spellcasting not only through actions and spells, but also by perceiving the surrounding magical fluctuations and condensed invisible force fields.

However, what makes him a little helpless is that the "Spell Recognition" skill is not a ranger's own skill. If he wants to improve through skill points, he needs to consume twice as many points, which is too wasteful, which means that he can only use this skill temporarily. To rely on their own learning to improve.

"No wonder that's the case." Andrina glanced at Thorne unexpectedly, showing a sudden look.

Then he thought about it and said, "I have a lot of knowledge about magic here, you can look it up if you have time."

"Thank you for your kindness." Thorne nodded to her, and then refused: "But it's enough for now. Let's talk about it when there is time."

"So, can you tell me what to do with the two clay golems?" Thorne felt that the topic of the two was a little far off, so he turned back to the original topic and asked her.

"I found the detection magic device when I went in just now, but it will take a certain amount of time to destroy it." Andrina's expression became serious, and she said:

"So you have to hold the two clay golems for a while, and you can't destroy them yet, or you won't be able to use them. After all, I still don't know much about constructing creatures."

"No problem, let's go." Thorne's sword was sheathed, and he didn't care much.

With the tortoise crawling of the clay golem, he didn't think they could touch the edge of his clothes.

"Then you have to be careful." Andrina patted Thorne on the shoulder, and an almost invisible protective force field directly enveloped his body.

"Find the intruder, start the self-defense protection program!"

When Thorne stepped into the first floor of the tower again, the cold mechanical alarm sounded again.

Immediately afterwards, the red glow radiating from the pupils of the clay golem locked him in an instant.

"Come in." Seeing that the hatred of the clay golem had been completely stopped by him, he immediately said to Andrina who was standing at the door.

Dealing with constructs is actually very simple, because they cannot think and act independently. Although they can perfectly understand commands, it is difficult to understand any other language expressions, and they cannot accept any verbal explanation and deception.

The two clay golems appear to have been fed a simple program to attack the intruder.

As long as the intruder is detected by the detect spell, they will receive the command and activate the program without hesitation to attack.

If the detection spell device is destroyed, they remain as motionless as a dead object even if you walk up to it.

Hearing the words, Andrina didn't delay, she walked in quickly, and went straight to a small crystal inlaid on the ceiling with aura of magic.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The clay golem flashed red in its pupils, and slowly approached Thorne with heavy and clumsy steps.

Seeing this, Thorne immediately directed the clay golem to a place farther from Andrina's casting distance.

At this time, a wisp of lubricating viscous liquid appeared on the wide soles of one of the clay golems.

Immediately afterwards, the red light in the pupil flickered, and a rapid impact burst out in an instant, and the huge body turned into a black shadow and slammed into Thorne fiercely.

"boom!"

Thorne, who had no time to react, was directly hit by the body of the clay golem, the clay splashed, and the powerful impact smashed the protective force field around Thorne's body directly, turning it into a little bit of light and dissipating.

Thorne, who fell to the ground, ignored the shock and doubts, and got up immediately. At the same time, he looked solemnly at the other clay golem.

Obviously, the sudden explosion of the clay golem was something he didn't expect at all, and it should belong to some kind of special supernatural ability.

The only thing that made him fortunate was that Andrina had blessed him with a protective force field, and the injury was not very serious, otherwise he would be seriously injured if he didn't die from this attack.

Sure enough, under Thorne's secret gaze, another clay golem burst out with a very fast impact and rushed towards him.

Sniffing the familiar smell of clay, Thorne, who had suffered a loss, naturally would not make the same mistake again.

When the red light flashed in the golem's pupils, he had already stood up and flashed past this clay golem, which could only strike in a straight line, with agile steps.

Immediately after dodging the attack, Thorne started circling the fairly spacious space with two silly-looking clay golems.

Because he understood that only when the clay golems kept chasing and escaping in a twisted detour, the straight-line eruption of the two golems would not work.
