Chapter 1757 New Clues
Joan paced slowly around the magic pool. After a long time of thinking, he decided to seize one of the most obvious doubts as a breakthrough for in-depth investigation.
After making up his mind, Joan stepped onto the teleportation array and returned to the lobby on the sixth floor with the magic beam of light rising from the ground. Before the iron golem that had just got rid of the paralysis reacted, he trotted all the way out of the hall.
Qiao An took the "wind-moving ladder" down to the fifth floor with ease, and then went down to the library hall on the fourth floor along the metal spiral ladder, and took the "wind-moving ladder" again to return to the third floor of the castle.
Stepping out of the stairwell, Joan looked at the fog-shrouded corridor in front of him, and waved out twelve "peeping magic eyes", ordering them to look for the flap trap that Casio unfortunately fell into.
Not long after, a glass magic eye found the sinister raised floor in the middle of the corridor.
The corners of Joan's lips rose slightly, and he walked straight over. The remote control "Mage's Poisonous High Five" triggered the trap, and a ten-foot-square, seemingly flat floor suddenly opened up, opening the black hole of the well.
Joan remote-controlled the magic hand to press the flap to keep the wellhead open, and at the same time switched the view to a glass magic eye near the wellhead.
Looking down from the wellhead, the bottom of the trap is empty and unobstructed.
However, Joan knew that this was an illusion created by illusion. The seemingly solid bottom of the well was just an illusion, and there was a deeper trap hidden underneath.
Joan waved a "dispel" to suppress the "illusion wall" temporarily, and the "bottom of the well" visible to the naked eye disappeared quietly, and about 20 feet below, in a corner of the real bottom of the well, curled up a group of pale figures.
Joan saw the figure at the bottom of the well through the magic glass eye, and there was an unexpected sneer on the corner of his lips.
"Wax Golem, are you going to climb up by yourself, or shall I drag you out?"
The young mage shouted coldly at the mouth of the well.
The white shadow at the bottom of the pit trembled, and under Joan's gaze, he stood up helplessly, his hands and feet sticking to the well wall, climbing up like a flexible spider.
Joan noticed that where the wax golem crawled, it left some reflective marks, like melted sticky wax.
Not long after, the wax golem crawled out of the well, with a panicked expression on its waxy face, not daring to meet Joan's gaze.
"Why are you hiding at the bottom of the pit?" Joan asked bluntly.
"Of course I don't want to be discovered by you." The wax golem answered with a bow.
"We met here about two years ago, do you remember me?" Joan changed the subject.
"Of course I remember, after all, since then, no outsider has broken in." The wax golem recalled the past with lingering fear, "There was a poet with you at that time, I pushed him into the pit, locked him up, pretended to be Be like him."
"Not only did you pretend to be Casio, but you also tried to use the disguise to gain my trust and take the opportunity to assassinate me. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to see through your disguise in time and cast a spell to knock you down. Do you remember these things? "
"Of course I remember, master mage, it is precisely because I know how powerful you are that I dare not offend you again." The wax golem said in a low voice.
"Really?"
Qiao An stared at the wax golem vigilantly, inspired a "power of myth", covered the spell-casting gesture with the sleeve of the cloak, and combined with "spell silent spell" and "arcane transformation", blessed "discern lies".
"You are a golem created by the master of the castle. Your mission is to guard this corridor and kill foreign intruders like me. Could you disobey the master's order and choose to avoid the battle?"
The wax golem hesitated for a moment, and replied cautiously: "Master, you must know that I am different from those mindless golems downstairs. I am a high-level golem who can think. The master did order me to guard this corridor, but his old man It also gives me more freedom to take the most sensible countermeasures according to the specific situation, instead of being like those golems who have no independent thinking ability, no matter what kind of enemy they face, they will only rigidly execute a set of fixed procedures."
"Dear mage, from the moment you walked into the reception hall on the second floor of the castle and clashed with two stone golems, I was startled by the sound of fighting downstairs, so I sneaked over to check what happened .”
"During the time that followed, I witnessed you turn into a six-armed giant and go on a rampage. First you beat two stone golems, and then crushed four clay golems. To be honest, I was so scared that I felt hot all over and almost Melt!"
"Compared to stone golems and clay golems, my advantage is that my brain is more flexible. Frontal combat is not my strong point!"
"I'm a little clever, but of course I can't compare to your great wisdom, master mage. I can't find a chance to plot against you, and I can't beat you in a direct confrontation. What else do you think I can do?"
"Under this situation, my only choice is to find a secret place to hide, so as not to cause trouble to you, and to save myself from suffering."
"I did do that, but unfortunately I underestimated your vigilance and caution, and I was eventually caught out by you." The wax golem lamented.
Joan confirmed that it did not lie, but did not let down its vigilance, and asked calmly, "How much do you know about the history of this castle?"
"Unfortunately, master mage, I was the last one to be created among all the golems. My master created me with the main purpose of experimenting with a newly acquired spell. He didn't intend to design me to be so powerful at the beginning. The material is cheap spermaceti wax, and the combat power is also dispensable, and after the completion of the project, I was left in this corridor and ignored, and I was not allowed to go out, how could I understand the things in the castle?"
The words of the wax golem revealed resentment towards its creator.
"At least you should know why all the residents in the castle disappeared without leaving any trace." Joan continued to ask.
"When I was created, only Lord Wavrunil was left in this castle. As for his relatives and friends, it seems that they all went to participate in the war against the dragons. Only the old mage stayed alone in the castle. here."
The wax golem rolled its eyes carved from black crystal, as if trying to remember the past.
"Master Wavrunil once said that in order to fight against the ferocious dragons, giants need more powerful strategic weapons. If breakthroughs cannot be made in weapon research and development, the giants may lose this war for world hegemony."
"Master Wavrunil lived in seclusion in Yunzhong City just to develop such a super weapon that could change the direction of war. Unfortunately, his old man failed to fulfill this wish until his death. After his death, the castle was also abandoned. .”
The wax golem grinned wryly, and said quietly:
"This is not a bad thing for me. Without the restraint of the master, I don't have to stay in this stuffy corridor all day. I can go out for a walk occasionally, enjoy the green grass and flowers in the manor, and try to be like a real Men—not golems—live like that.”
