Praise of the Light to the Dark Knight

"What... what is this!" the reckless paladin Moiraine yelled straight away—but no one accused her of not being vigilant enough, and her voice was on the contrary. It doesn't matter, that is not the perception ability of magical creations, not to mention that the light spots on the heads of those things change from green to red, which obviously recognizes the intruder, and silence is useless.

"It's a golem," said Atgaya.

"It's some kind of metal creation similar to the operation principle of a golem. I don't know if it's reasonable to classify it as a golem." Yalan said it objectively and comprehensively.

That thing is obviously not a traditional mage handmade golem. A serious golem is a magic servant carved with magic circuits and inscribed runes, and then driven by the spiritual power and magic power of the archmage. The point is that it is made of magic materials. It is necessary to provide the magic power to activate them, without having to output energy for a long time, because their own bodies are the natural source of magic power!The cost is high, but it is very easy to use, once and for all, once it is activated, it can even operate for hundreds of years. Some mercenary groups have planned for a long time, and they have worked so hard to open an ancient ruins to prepare for treasure hunting, but they were killed by the movable golem inside. blood flow.It is the favorite magical creation of mages. Without one or two golems placed in the mage tower, the tower is embarrassed to be called the mage tower.

However, they should all be carved with earth and rock soaked in magic power. Extravagant mages can take out a whole piece of magic spar and make more suitable golems according to the magic power in the spar, such as the succubus that was brutally dismembered before. Statues, that statues are made of some kind of terribly expensive magic spar, mages and mage's entourage, maybe apprentices and the like participate in the carving, sculpture artists even think that some golems made by mages can be included in the ranks of works of art .

But this thing in front of me is made of metal.

Metals are almost not included in the wizard's list of spell-casting materials. Except for magic silver, ordinary metals are magically insulated. More often, it is the target of the mage's spells, such as thunder and lightning hitting the armor of an enemy soldier.

The golem is made of metal. It looks like a set of armor taken off from a burly warrior. It is thick and glows with a cold metal light. Its upper body has fine spring gears and delicate joints. The lower body is not a leg, but a metal platform. You can see the four wheels turning flexibly.

The metal golem's hands were equipped with sharp weapons such as broadswords and hooks, and it was rushing towards it with a bang. Kevin's corpse team was rushed to pieces by this iron guy whose shape and sensitivity were completely inconsistent. The blade cut through the dead body without stopping, like splitting malt.

"Form!" Morira ordered.

The subterranean space is filled with the sound of wheels as the golem rumbles toward it.

The paladin blocks the caster behind, this is the basic formation of the knight mage formation, but the paladins use only a few tricks, they once again use the holy light to form a whole, and Moiraine is still standing at the forefront , the female knight put away her sword, and she replaced it with a spear. Paladins are equipped with two types of weapons as standard, a long sword and a long spear. The sword is suitable for close combat, and the attack distance of the gun is longer. Usually they fight immediately. arms.

Now Moiraine's spear tip was dyed golden by the holy light. She straightened her arms and held the butt of the spear, which increased her attack distance to three meters away. Blessing fell on the paladins, and a holy fire fell on the tip of Moiraine's spear.

stab-

Of course, the holy light has limited damage to non-death metal golems, but the tip of the spear penetrated the golems that rushed forward. The holy fire was not ignited, but turned into the pure magic power that originally composed them, and the magic power rushed directly into the golems. In the placed magic circuit, metal cannot store magic power, so there are obvious lines on the body of the golem, which clearly outlines the magic power circuit and is drawn with a very small amount of magic powder.Crackling, crackling, the golem continued to slide forward against the tip of the spear, but sparks began to emerge from its body, and the crackling sound of the magical turbulence was so painful.

The golem slid forward another half a meter, and before its knife almost touched Moiraine's forehead, it stopped, and the fragile magic circuit was completely burned.

The paladins who were on the verge of a formidable enemy gasped.

"It's scrapped?" Moiraira stared blankly, and withdrew her spear from the golem, "Is this a golem made by apprentices?"

Yalan's blessing spell was not put away, these paladins looked glorious and majestic, and the golem that was shot and exploded by them looked pitiful.

This newfangled steel golem...weak as a toy?

The paladins looked at each other in blank dismay. Of course they had fought the mage's golem. The weakest heretic mage they wiped out, and the guards in the tower were a hundred times stronger than this thing.

But Yalan said not easily: "You have to consider its cost, its cost is almost comparable to a set of low-quality armor."

Moiraine took a breath.

"This is an insult to magic!" Kevin was full of disgust, "Using crude metal instead of magic spar, without a body soaked in magic power, this thing can not only scare low-level soldiers by rampage, but can it emit magic? It Can it be immune to basic magic attack? And it's so ugly!"

"It doesn't need it." Yalan said, "It has one more advantage over traditional golems that cannot be ignored."

"Really?" Kevin, who was extremely irritable today, still seemed to be watching a clown. His corpse team broke free from under the broken metal, half disabled, and a few of them were still able to move.

Yalan pointed forward, his blessing technique turned the paladins into temporary moving light sources, following the light emanating from the paladins, they saw an underground square in front of them, and then they realized that this room was so It is so tall that it can fit several houses, where red light spreads little by little, and the golems wake up one by one.

"God of Light!" Some of the paladins sighed.

Kevin's face changed, and he immediately understood the advantage Yalan said.

"They're cheap to make, so they can be squandered and turned into an army."

—Did they actually break into an arsenal?

"Get out of the way!" Kevin let out a low voice. The paladins immediately gave way to the Shadow Moon Priest after being taken aback. They took the initiative to suppress the holy light. Beforehand, he threw away the bones and took out a decent staff. The staff looked dignified and gorgeous, not at all like a black mage. The elegant ruby ​​is quietly inlaid here.

boom--

The black mage's spells are not as elegant as a staff. Kevin didn't use any spells or gestures. He released his huge spiritual power purely and directly, and then rushed aimlessly towards the Get out, does the ocean need to plan the path of the spray before the tsunami?Of course not, Kevin released the tide of darkness, and a large amount of magic power radiated from him, and then these tides of magic power washed the thin magic power circuit of the metal golem wave by wave.

Crackling, the entire underground space was filled with the sound of a short circuit, the magic circuit was overloaded, and then caught fire, and some small-scale explosions occurred one after another.

The tide gushed out, then fell back naturally, Kevin took back the released mental power, and the invisible magic power in the air passed the golem's fragile magic power circuit for the second time.

Click, click, the red light trembled and went out everywhere, most of the golems quickly lost their ability to move, and the swords they held fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Look, I said these inferior products are useless." Kevin turned around with a sneer, relaxed and comfortable.

"That's you." This time Moiraine retorted him, "It's us, the high-ranking paladins of the temple, the black-cloaked priests of Shadow Moon, and we are the absolute minority on this continent."

Kevin was stunned, the mage's always proud gaze lowered a little, he saw that the corpses he drove around were incomplete, these corpses had not been refined and had no soul, the strength and responsiveness of the body were still the same as before. .

That is, no different from ordinary people.

If the great priest Helena was present, he would probably say: "Those fools have nothing to do with me."

Kevin did not inherit his teacher's cold-heartedness. He realized——yes, he and his friends are just legends in the eyes of ordinary people. What if a group of ordinary mercenaries entered here?Or even ordinary paladins in the local branch of the Temple of Light?

"The human kingdom should immediately pray to God, thanking them for not granting goblins the ability to magic when they created everything." Kevin twitched the corner of his mouth, realizing his over-inflated self-confidence just now, "If in the conflict between humans and goblins, goblins If we come up with such a creation that combines goblin machinery and magic, human beings will perish."

Exquisite gears and joints, the supposedly heavy dead thing can move freely. Obviously, the mixed-race goblin lady is skilled and not a pure-blood compatriot, and the magic power circuit on it is exactly the same as the demolished succubus statue.

Fortunately, this is an extremely small probability event!

All the humans present (including the elves) felt fortunate, counting the years of history in the Diana Continent, and the spellcasters who cooperated with the goblins... Most of the goblins are the test subjects of the spellcasters rather than partners, so this metal magic It seems that they didn't rush to kill on the battlefield.

"Can I assume..." Etgayello felt a little broken, he touched the hot metal, and said, "The Annihilation sect we are about to face has already begun to use this kind of thing on a large scale. Is it? This can be called a plaything, right?"

The faces of the priests are equally ugly. If the Annihilation Sect suddenly goes to a country to make waves on a whim, and then pulls out these things on the battlefield...

"Remove, completely dismantle them!" Kevin said decisively, "Removing one is one!"

The paladins violently waved their spears. Most of the golems were intact but the magic circuit was faulty. They unceremoniously began to destroy these immobile statues to prevent them from being replaced by new magic circuits from being activated by the caster.

Looking at this amazingly destructive Paladin squad, Etjaye asked Yalan with interest: "Aren't you going to take one or two away? Oslant's military mages will soon be able to master the technology to make them. "

"No." Yalan answered simply and neatly.

The captains of the magic legion in Oslant once arranged a schedule, and went to the temple every day to see the high priest in turn, hoping to spread healing magic to the magic legion, and even hoped to set up combatants such as chaplains, Yalan, Yalan's teacher, and all the high priests above without any exception, categorically no.

"Once handed over, there is no guarantee that these powers will be used elsewhere." Yalan said.

"But you can't control it." Atgaya said, "In places you can't control, there are more and more warriors who master basic healing magic but have no lofty beliefs. Military mages make magic weapons for war. Sooner or later, they will be able to Inventing this kind of cheap metal golem, it is better to let them accept the favor of the Holy Temple."

Yalan laughed: "There are always places in the world where the light doesn't shine."

Where the future world will go is beyond anyone's control. Even as a leader of a faith with believers all over the land, he can only lead, not control.

"On the positive side, maybe one day ordinary people can enjoy the benefits of magic and machinery?" Yalan smiled and patted Et Gaya on the shoulder, "Let's go, you see Kevin's face is already terrifying Hurry up and blow up the whole city with the forbidden curse that distinguishes between friend and foe!"

The tunnel is curved, and there are some novel traps that are deadly to ordinary people from time to time. The paladins play an excellent role as human shields. The holy light has passed through a clean area. Now it is almost certain that this is an arsenal of the Annihilation Sect, which was destroyed. There are nearly a hundred golems in the army, which is already a small army.

If they can pull out a nail and use a top powerhouse like Asius to contain the legendary power represented by the Temple and Shadow Moon, then these cheap golems can completely make up for the sect's shortage of manpower, and attack the city to deal with ordinary people. Human kingdom army.

Ambition is no small feat!

There began to be clear fluctuations in the magic power in the air. They did not spread, but hovered at the end of the tunnel. Those magic powers were solidified and compacted, and were strictly controlled—that must represent a precision-operated magic circle—

Boom—Break into the door in the classic Shadowmoon style, and Kevin sends out a huge dark blade, directly blasting a hole in the wall for adults to pass through, without excessive force causing it to collapse.

What catches the eye are two eye-catching magic circles, with gorgeous patterns, and the flowing radiance is a fiery red, like the brightest one or two ignitions when burning charcoal. The edge of the fire is carbon black with the same high temperature but no brilliance. Only by burning with strength can those few pure fires be shot out - two magic circles, one is upright and the other is upside down, the upside down one is a large piece of ashes, the charcoal left after burning, and the upside down one is getting more and more Vigorous, barely visible black.

Energy circulates in the two connected magic circles.

There is a person on each of them, and one of them has begun to wither, and its limbs have also turned into the same color as burnt charcoal.

"Too bad...we are late." Yalan looked serious, "We guessed right, he is about to be awakened by the blood of the same race he was forced to accept..."
