Nothing is impossible in the world of magic. This argument has long been proven by the magic emperors with their own achievements. Reading other people's memories or even souls is not an incredible thing, but there is a limit.
Although the Golem King is one of the top magicians on the "earth" today, and he is not only proficient in the subject of magic puppets, but it does not mean that he is omnipotent. If you want to read the memory of a little ogre who has the warrior-level shaman-god-favored class, the blood of ancient giants, and the protection of mysterious magical powers from another world, you must be at least a seventh-level illusion master or an eighth-level magician. Only the Necromancer is possible, and this requires the cooperation of the little ogre.
Being able to use secret methods to determine that Gronn was not lying, that he had indeed seen artificial souls with his own eyes, was already the limit of the Golem King. However, this was enough, enough to make him completely forget about "kidnapping" Gronn here. original purpose.
"Tell me! Where did you see the artificial soul? In what form did she exist? Gaseous? Liquid? Solid? Or pure magic? Does she have her own independent thoughts? Is she stable? Can she communicate and interact normally? ? What is the degree of completion..."
Gronn was not confused by the series of professional questions bombarded by the Golem King, but answered in a logical manner: "The artificial soul I saw does not exist in the several forms you mentioned. She relies on a On top of a powerful magic item, there is something similar to a weapon spirit or a sword soul, but it is completely different in nature. She can think independently, interact with others, and some abilities are far superior to ordinary people. As for whether there are flaws. , how complete it is... because I haven’t been in contact with her for a long time, so I don’t know.”
Every time Goron answered a question, the magic light rune on his head kept flashing and deforming, but the color never changed, which seemed to always prove that what Goron said was true.
The Golem King became more and more excited as he listened, but soon realized that Gronn had not answered his most important question—where is the magical soul now? No matter how detailed Goron answered other questions, it only kept arousing the curiosity of the Golem King. Only by seeing the artificial soul with his own eyes could he be able to conduct reverse analysis and research, and then create his own artificial soul, allowing his golem-making technology to truly reach the realm of gods.
When the Golem King noticed Goron's cunning and playful eyes, he knew that the fake beauty who had been cursed to change from male to female was not careless, but deliberately did not say anything, waiting to bargain with him. His magic can tell whether Goron is lying, but it cannot control whether he speaks or not.
"Say your request. I'm not interested in bargaining with you. Just tell me your bottom line!" The Golem King took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He didn't hate Gron. The more Gron looked like a rare commodity, the more he could prove the authenticity of the intelligence.
Goron continued to remain silent, but this time it was not about negotiation skills, but that he really couldn't think of the most reasonable request for a while. It's not that Goron started blackmailing the Golem King without thinking about the conditions, but he really didn't expect that something he accidentally knew would have such a strong temptation for the Golem King. If he only followed the original plan and asked for an exchange Regarding the information about the Anubis Army, it feels like a huge loss.
Although the Golem King looks young, he is after all an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years. He has also encountered a bottleneck in the magic academic world and turned his attention to politics and power. He saw through Goron's hesitation at a glance. . If he is patient enough, he can naturally maximize the income from this transaction. However, after learning that artificial souls really exist and are not out of reach, everything he owned before, the magnificent magic tower, and the out-of-print magic manuscripts , legendary magic props, charming concubines... everything seems to have become insignificant like a passing cloud.
Seeing Goron's hesitation, the Golem King snorted coldly and said: "Forget it, I can probably guess what you want. Those smelly kobolds have nothing to do with me, and neither do I." I have investigated them and even captured a few and dissected them. Do you want to know what the results are? Forget it, I won’t waste my time with you. Let me tell you the truth. According to my research, those things are definitely human beings.”
"Humans!" Goron exclaimed: "They are not fantasy beasts or orcs, but they are actually humans? How is this possible?"
The Golem King's face suddenly changed: "Are you doubting the results of my research? Forget it, I don't have time to talk to you. According to my research, those kobolds are human beings who have been eroded by dark magic and the breath of death. If my judgment is correct, it only takes a moment and a very small amount of magic power for a human to transform into a kobold, so if you want to create such a large army of kobolds, you only need a small amount of magic power. All it takes is a human village and a few intermediate magicians. I have to admit that although it has no artistic sense, that kind of thing is perfect for killing and destroying. "
"What about the cursed humans? Is there any possibility of recovery?" Hearing the curse again, Goron couldn't help but think of himself. Although there is no inconvenience after transforming into a female body, thinking about the burden on his body Such a big curse will make you feel uncomfortable all over.
"An ordinary farmer, even a woman, the elderly, or a child, will immediately turn into a monster with superior combat power as long as he is cursed. Do you think there will be no need to pay for this? That is a half-dead creature that is cursed. Human beings are equivalent to dead. All their lives are exchanged for a limited time of strength. Of course, after the curse is lifted, only a pile of bones will be left, maybe not even the bones will be left. I suspect that the mastermind behind this matter may not have perfected it yet. With this kind of magic, it is not impossible to demonize all humans in the entire city or even the entire country.”
Goron was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked: "Do you think this matter has anything to do with the legacy of the Magic Emperor?"
"Magic Emperor? That's right! Why didn't I think of that! How could that old guy Trumps suddenly have that kind of breakthrough? He encountered the same research bottleneck as me and couldn't break through for decades. No matter how smart he is, he How could he do what I can't do even if he is under me? He must have obtained the Magic Emperor's inheritance accidentally, right! This is the only reasonable explanation..."
When self-confidence and hope were restored at the same time, Lord Golem King's face burst out with the brilliance of youth and vitality. This was not the illusion of youth he created with magic, but the real light of hope. At the same time, Gron seemed to have gotten the answer to the question he was looking for. The Great Magister Trumpus was one of the seven holy magisters. He was famous for dark magic and was also the king of the Desert Xue. The mentor of the Sith.
At this moment, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the room, and the Golem King's expression suddenly changed. He stretched out his hand, and a crystal ball the size of a human head flew into his hand. The Golem King stared at the crystal ball, his expression His expression became worse and worse.
Although Goron can't see what's in the crystal ball, he has his own way. The second magical power of the different world suddenly activated, and Goron's sight passed through the many walls and magic barriers, and he saw the scene outside the magic tower at a glance.
A steel giant wearing heavy gold armor and blue-black cast iron skin stands on the earth. It holds a shield in one hand and a blue thunder in the other hand, which is constantly bombarding the hemispherical magic barrier in front of it. .
What is worth marveling at is the size of this steel giant. It is many times taller than the Cyclops elders that Goron saw in the Tower of Babel, and is almost comparable to the ancestor Gru that Goron saw in the ancestral fantasy. you. That thunder was not generated out of thin air, but the steel giant reached out and grabbed it directly from the thick black clouds.
"Titan in the sky!" Goron exclaimed. For this legendary colossus, which is even known as the most powerful super weapon in the Blade Tower Continent, the Seven Towers Alliance that is hostile to the empire can always stand firm under the threat of Dragon Rider Commander Retusus. Gronn has long been familiar with the hymn that has been sung by the bards for many years. The pressure I felt when I saw this steel giant with my own eyes was even comparable to the "curator" in the Ark of Life, but this is not surprising. Like the curator, the Cloud Titan Colossus itself is a creation of the Magic Emperor. The ultimate mass-produced war weapon created to fight against the gods of heaven. This colossus escaped the cleanup after the war between the gods in the heavens because it was unfinished. Tens of thousands of years later, it was seen again in the hands of seven contemporary magic geniuses. Although it could not reproduce the full power of the ancient war period, it was still a masterpiece of the world. The most powerful weapon of war, bar none.
As early as when he came to this country of magicians, Goron had thought about whether he would have the opportunity to see this colossus, but he did not expect that this opportunity would come so quickly and suddenly, and he would still see this colossus. It should be the colossus of the patron saint of the Seven Towers Alliance attacking the Golem King, one of the seven holy magisters.
That's right, the magic barrier that the Cloud Titan is constantly bombarding is the protective magic circle of the Golem King's magic tower city.
"What on earth is going on? Isn't it true that the Cloud Titan can only be driven by the cooperation of the seven holy magisters?" This time it was the cat girl Fatima who exclaimed. Although she did not have a crystal ball or Goron's She has clairvoyance, but she knows everything happening outside through a simpler and more direct method, that is, through the window. Looking out from the window, the huge steel statue that blocks the sky and the sun is bombarding the magic tower in an orderly manner. The light emitted from the top creates a magical barrier. (~^~)
