When the light faded, Luo Ling found herself in a room that was even more spacious than the entrance hall. This room was not only large but also very high, with the ceiling at least ten stories above the ground. It felt like being in a large commercial plaza.
However, what made her feel nervous was the golems of various shapes in the room. These golems were different from the humanoid golems at the door that contained dwarf souls. They looked strange and varied. Some looked like beasts like lions and tigers, some looked like insects like spiders and mantises, and some had strange limbs that didn't look like any animals, but rather like industrial robots.
The golems showed no reaction to her arrival, and each of them stayed quietly on their bases.
However, what was even more shocking was that Adan and others in front of her had disappeared, leaving only Morey and Ola by her side.
"What's going on? Brother! Where are you?" Ola screamed in panic. After seeing the golem, she suddenly drew out her sword, turned around and saw that only Luo Ling and Morey were behind her. She asked anxiously, "Ms. Luo Ling, what's going on?"
"Don't panic." Although she was as surprised as the other person, Luo Ling's voice was very steady. "This may just be another test set by your ancestors."
"Test? Why, why are you testing us? There are so many golems, but there are only three of us. How can we possibly defeat them?" She glanced at the golems uneasily, and finally her eyes fell on Luo Ling again.
"Don't worry, didn't you notice that they didn't move?" Luo Ling consoled, "Didn't your ancestors particularly like to test you, their descendants? From the beginning, you needed to inherit fighting spirit to activate the gate, to the questions that required magic and mathematics, to the test of facing the attack of the golem when you enter the gate, so it is very likely that this is just the next level."
"But what is this test? And why do we have to be separated?" Aura asked.
"I do have a guess about the test." Morey said, looking at the golems around him, "I've read some information about golems. Golems can actually be divided into two categories. One is the autonomous golems we encountered outside. These golems are controlled by a soul and will fight according to the orders given in advance without human command. However, although they don't need to be controlled, the combat power they can burst out can only reach a high level at most.
But the other kind of golem is different. They have no consciousness of their own and can only fight through the control of the golem master. They are called controlled golems. Although this kind of golem is difficult to operate, the power and consciousness of the powerful golem master are not comparable to the soul of the autonomous golem. Moreover, the golem master is also a powerful magician. He can use his magic to enhance the power of the golem. Therefore, the power of these controlled golems is far greater than that of the autonomous golems, and their combat power can even reach the level of Grandmaster and Saint. "
"Ah, yes, His Majesty Rick, the last emperor of the empire, was a holy golem master." Aura said, "He controlled a holy-level golem named 'Electric Wing Silver Dragon'. Could it be that these are all operational golems, and our ancestors want to test our talents?"
"Yes, come and see this manticore." Morey walked to a golem first. This golem looked like a mighty lion, but it had wings and a barbed tail. It was slightly bent, as if it was about to pounce and bite. It was made of dark red metal, and was covered with dense light purple runes. It was much more delicate than the humanoid golem outside. In front of its base, there was a small platform with a bracelet on it, also made of red and light purple.
"This bracelet must be the thing that controls the golem." Luo Ling said.
Morey nodded, put the bracelet on his wrist, and then input a stream of mental power into it.
The runes on the Scorpion-tailed Lion Golem lit up one after another, and the golem's originally empty eyes emitted an orange-red light.
"It's such a strange feeling. I share the golem's vision and I see myself." Morey closed his eyes to eliminate the interference of his own vision.
"So that's how it is. When you put on the bracelet, you'll feel like you have a new body and you'll naturally learn how to control it." Morey said well, but the golem seemed to be drunk, and its limbs began to move randomly. It danced on the stage like a yangko dance, which was indescribably funny. The beast king-like aura just now disappeared without a trace. The next moment, it raised the two legs on the same side, suddenly lost balance and fell off the platform.
"this… "
"It's okay. It's only the first time. Remember the old saying from my hometown? Practice makes perfect." Luo Ling patted Morey's shoulder and ignored the red cloud on his face.
"Since we guess this is a test, it's best for everyone to try to control a golem." Luo Ling said to Aura.
"But I'm not a magician, can I do that?"
"How do you know if you don't try?"
—————————
Not long after, Aura selected a silver wolf golem. When she put on the bracelet and began to try to control the golem, the golem's movements were much more coordinated than Morey's. The silver wolf jumped off the base, took a few steps, and then started running. After sprinting for more than ten meters, the silver wolf opened its mouth and spewed out an ice bullet.
But after doing this, Ola held his head and cried out in pain: "Ah, what's going on? My head hurts like it's about to split open."
"Ms. Aura, stop controlling this silver wolf. The headache you feel may be due to your lack of mental strength." Morey also stopped the manticore and said, "Although my mental strength is much stronger than yours, I also feel very tired after controlling this manticore."
Ola took off the bracelet, and sure enough, the headache was relieved a lot.
"I really can't do it." She said frustratedly.
"It seems that controlling these golems requires at least two qualities, one is strong mental strength, and the other is intuitive control of the body. The two of us can't do it, so now it depends on Miss Luo Ling."
Luo Ling hadn't picked out the golem she liked yet.
She walked past each golem, carefully observing their forms.
She felt that the golems here could be divided into at least three levels based on the complexity of their forms and the number of runes on their bodies. Aura's silver wolf was obviously the lowest level, Morey's manticore was in the second level, and the big bird in front of her was the highest level.
This bird looks very much like the legendary blue phoenix, and its body is somewhat like a peacock, with a slender neck, a sharp beak, broad wings, and several long tail wings.
The bird looked up at the sky, as if it was looking forward to flying again. Its posture was noble and elegant, but its body made of layers of blue-green metal also gave people a great sense of oppression.
The magic runes on its body are light blue, extremely fine and complex, and each character is only a quarter of the size of the one on the manticore, but the magic power contained in it is even greater, so the various magical effects hidden in it are at least ten times that of the manticore. The whole golem looks particularly vivid.
Luo Ling put the green bracelet in front of the golem on her hand, closed her eyes and pondered for a long time. When she opened her eyes, a dazzling blue light burst out from the blue phoenix, then it suddenly spread its wings and flew into the air.
