Dark Shadow Shrine

In Raven's impression, although Karin has learned stealth skills, they are for hunting, not the assassin route: I am doing stealth this time, not suitable for you.

Pursing her lips, Karin didn't refute in the end, but just asked, You must at least tell me the location, and I will meet you if there is a situation.

Orion's daughter has seen blood after all, and with Karin's character, she won't be willing to stay behind after regaining her strength.

After hesitating for a while, Lei Wen still told her: There is a small wooden house 200 meters north along the river on the stone bridge in the east of the town. That is my target. You can hide in the grass downwind of the wooden house. The black erosion order is issued, and this All hotels in the town will be searched soon, we will be in trouble without a free citizen certificate, pack up your things and go straight away.

Free citizenship certificate is the so-called non-criminal certificate. Anyway, as long as you can afford it, even if you are a demon, any city sheriff will issue you this free citizen certificate.

This is a very funny paradox. But the whole continent recognizes this. People feel that if you can afford to issue a certificate, then at least prove that you are not the cheapest thief or gangster.

The two set off and came near the wooden house. Seeing Karin hiding in the grass, Raven sneaked into the wooden house quietly.

As soon as he entered, Raven scolded his mother.

Lei Wen's memory is correct, this is indeed the black eclipse church's escape route.

The situation in front of him deviated from his memory.

Serious deviation!

Originally, he expected that there would be at most two people guarding here. After listening outside the wooden house for a long time, he didn't feel anyone's breath, and he watched by the window for a long time. Broken cabinets, old ropes, so he groped in.

As soon as you come in, you will be recruited.

The moment he stepped into the hall, a pile of ropes on the ground that seemed to have been unused for a long time suddenly moved.

Thick hemp ropes surged, like a large number of snakes in a snake nest winding and stretching and entangled with each other. They circled at high speed to form arms, ankles, calves, and thighs, and instantly entangled into a human-like shape. Standing up, this guy was almost as tall as two Ravens. Its face only had the outline of a human face, and two balls of pure white energy were burning at the position of the eyes.

Lei Wen, who was caught off guard, instantly understood what this thing was—Nimma's strangling golem!

Also known as the Rope Golem, the Strangler Golem disguises itself as a pile of old rope when it's not active, lying in place to ambush intruders. The smallest Strangler Golem in the game also has 450 health points, and its challenge level is as high as 52. That is to say, at least a middle-level Silver rank can beat this thing. You have to use the right method, because this thing is almost physically immune!

Suddenly, thousands of mud horses were running wildly in Lei Wen's heart! Why are you so dark! ? I actually ran into this thing in the novice area!

Definitely can't beat it!

Running away? I have already entered the pit, and within a radius of ten meters is the world of strangling golems. Unless you have more than 100 points of intuitive dodge and escape skills, don't even think about it!

At this critical moment, Raven's mind was spinning, trying to recall everything about the strangling golem:

Ultron World once had a powerful human empire, Nelas, which had a vast territory of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers in its heyday. Within its borders, civilization and knowledge flourished, including the study of magic. Warlocks and technicians began to make progress in the research of constructs, especially the autonomous mechanism golems.

Three centuries later, King Eohir III began funding the Imperial Artisans Guild—an independent body of artisans chosen by the king but not under his control. The goal he set for them was to create a highly adaptable creature—an artifact capable of sentience without imprisoning immortal spirits or elemental beings. Ideally, such a creature would be able to perform tasks autonomously and be able to learn from them.

Iridil, son of Eohir, succeeded his father after his death, before the artificers had finished their work. The constant turmoil in the wilds of the Empire has turned the purpose of work into the service of war. He needs soldiers, not just ideal construct golems.

In order to accomplish this goal, Iridil used the power of the king to order more alchemists and warlocks who study souls to invest in this area of ​​research.

In order to complete the goal as soon as possible, these warlocks did not hesitate to imprint the knowledge about mechanics into their blood and soul. So far, magicians were born as a new branch of warlocks.

Under the guidance of the mechanics, the Imperial Technicians Association quickly completed the first creation furnace, and at the same time the first mass-produced mechanism golem purely for war was created. But Iridil's demands split the association. Some dreamers hope to create constructs that the late old king Elithil imagined. These mechanics left the association with a group of technicians, and at the same time took away the copy of the technology used to create the mechanism golem.

In any case, Iridil was farsighted in his preparations for war. The Nerath Empire soon found itself caught in a massive war against the humanoids and demons of the Savage Lands. The King allows the nobles to be excused from fighting for the Empire, as long as they can afford to create Warlords to take their place.

The treasury of the Nerath Empire supported the construction of more construct soldiers. Across the Imperium, even renegade warlocks and artificers use their forges of creation to create golems to win the war.

Undoubtedly, golems, who have no fear of death or injury, play an important role in the confrontation. Relying on them, the Nerath Empire won the victory. But after the death of the king, his heir, and several of its most influential leaders, the empire quickly crumbled into a vortex of factional feuds and territorial disputes. The Forge of Creation is sometimes used by minor nobles for very amateurish purposes. The remaining golems were drafted into new armies, enslaved, or left to fend for themselves.

After a few decades, regional wars subsided as trade dwindled and local aristocracy consolidated. The Nerath Empire eventually split into many independent nations separated by a long strip of wilderness. Even so, there are still a lot of golems left, although the most intelligent group of golems have almost been lost in the battle.

Thousands of years have passed, and the Nerath Empire has ceased to exist. Somewhere in the world, a small number of creation furnaces are still working and constantly producing new golems. The descendants of the Imperial Technician Association are still using the old titles to produce new mechanism golems and sell them to the army, nobles and other forces that can afford the price through black market merchants.

Defensive mechanism golems are the most common. These golems that can only accept simple commands are more disgusting than a roadblocking dragon when used in the right place.

If this is a mass-produced golem that only accepts death, Raven is dead. If it is a highly intelligent version of the golem, then there may be a chance of survival.

do not care!

Give it a go! If not, die!

Seeing that the golem was about to attack, Lei Wen yelled from his memory in the Neras language common to the long-extinct ancient Neras Empire: Asomidu, Toronka! roughly meaning Don't shoot! Your own people!. Moreover, in order to bluff the Strangler Golem, Raven also added the superior modal particles unique to artificers in his speech.

The strangling golem really stopped, and the energy clusters in the eyes flickered.

Suddenly, a length of rope on its body was twisted and connected into a string of Nelas words, to the effect: Who are you? I can't sense the authority to pass through you?

Ding! The system prompt sounded.

You launched a skill show! At this moment, you are possessed by the actor, and depending on your performance, you will get death or a chance.

You activated the skill Bluff! You sent a non-magical cue to the Strangler Golem, masquerading as the Black Eclipse alignment.

Because you have the specialty skill [Persuader], the opponent's suspicion of you is reduced by 20%.

After resolutely launching his skills, Raven continued to use the Neras language to radiate lotus flowers: I am Raven, the special envoy sent by the great and supreme Black Dragon King Lucian Dazakar. Because of the treachery of the Goddess of Wealth, Wojin, to us The Black Eclipse Sacred Cult launched a despicable sneak attack. Our believers were massacred and our priests were threatened with life, so I was sent to the Black Dragon Secret Road to meet the chief priest, Mr. Fakalin. Due to the emergency, I did not bring the token for a while .”

Raven said everything he remembered about the black eclipse. If there is no accident, the names of the black dragon and the priest should match.

After finishing speaking here, a prompt came from the system over there.

Strangling Golem Rope One believed your words. Thanks to your knowledge and perfect Nelas language, you successfully deceived an opponent whose strength was far superior to yours. Your performance skills have been greatly improved, and the current skill level is 45 .Your Bluff skill has been greatly improved and is now at skill level 33.

As soon as the reminder came out, Lei Wen's little heart that was about to fly out also shrank back, and the cold sweat on his back just now was so thick that it could rain.

The gigantic head of the Golem of Strangler nodded, and the long rope was twisted into a text: Understood, you are indeed a special envoy sent by the master. I will add a pass for you. I will also accept it before an hourglass. After receiving the notice from Lord Ludi, he brought Lord Fakalin and his entourage into the tunnel, and you can choose to wait for him here or enter the tunnel to meet him.

This is a dilemma. The Strangler Golem has considerable wisdom. If Raven ambush the Black Eclipse Church and his party in the tunnel as originally planned, he will not be able to come out from here. If you come out with a dagger stained with the blood of the black eclipse priest, you will definitely be attacked by the strangling golem. Leaving from the entrance of the city of gold, he might encounter a mercenary group chasing and killing the priest, which meant danger and trouble.

If he didn't go in, then Raven wouldn't be sure to ambush a group of crazy enemies trying to escape in the open terrain.

what to do?
