Dark Shadow Shrine

His heart was hot, but his expression remained cold. Lei Wen squinted his eyes halfway, looking at the thief's expression as if he were looking at a dead person. Hmph! There really is a Shadow Orb, did your teacher take it away?

I said! I said! There are many shadow steel golems wandering around the orb! At least two groups of eleven. My teacher is only at the beginning of the silver level, and we can't find anyone to deal with those golems.

Shadowsteel golems are silent but powerful guardians of a metal mined and forged entirely on the Plane of Shadow. Necromancers, liches, and vampires like to use these planar golems to guard their dungeons against intruders like priests or paladins who are unlikely to be held back by undead minions.

A shadowsteel golem can easily be mistaken for an undead creature, due to their shadowy appearance and quiet movement like a ghost. Unlike other constructs, Shadowsteel Golems are very good at hiding themselves, free to blend in with any vague shadows.

Are you kidding me? The Shadowsteel Golem is at least silver-level. Can your teacher come back alive with a silver-level novice? Lei Wen's expression became fierce.

No, no, no... Those shadow steel golems seem to have not replenished their energy for a long time, and most of them have been crippled. Their strength is only at the peak of the Bronze rank.

When the thief said this, Lei Wen believed it a little bit.

There are no other monsters?

I swear in the name of Mask, the god of thieves, the number may vary, but I really didn't find any other monsters.

Lei Wen's face turned cold: Are you kidding me? How can I, a little assassin of the Black Iron Order, handle so many Shadowsteel Golems!?

The thief glanced at the Strangled Golem, which was standing still, and said with a bitter face, My lord, stop joking. You are obviously a master warlock, let alone anything else, you can clean it up with this Strangled Golem. Drop all the Shadowsteel Golems inside.

In theory, a Strangler Golem with a challenge level of 52 can certainly handle a Shadowsteel Golem with a challenge level of only 44.

In the real situation, it is not at all that the high-level must beat the low-level. There are too many unexpected situations, just like now, a Bronze-rank thief can't deal with Lei Wen, an assassin of the Black Iron rank. Not to mention the shadow steel golem, the most troublesome assassin golem.

Speaking of which, if this news is true, this shadow orb is worth at least 500,000, or even millions of mainland gold coins. For the assassin profession, its value cannot be measured by money.

However, the thief did not realize that his secret could not save his life.

Five minutes is almost up.

Raven turned his head and asked the Strangled Golem in Nelas language: I have finished all my questions. Can I execute this traitor with my own hands and get back what he stole?

The rope that strangled the golem twisted out his answer: Yes.

Lei Wen pierced the thief's chest with a dagger, and the splashed blood sprayed Lei Wen's face.

You... The thief's face was full of disbelief. His eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it to the end of his life. How could there be an assassin in this world who dared to risk Cyric's divine punishment and break his oath to kill him.

Let me tell you a little secret, Cyric will not have the opportunity to verify my oath, because I have never planned to advance to the unique high-level assassin profession under Cyric's command. One of my greatest wishes in this life is to Hang that bastard Cyric!

Bastard...you are a blasphemer!

A blasphemer? No! I will be a godslayer! I will only abide by the oath made in my name. Raven smiled and replied: Besides, I never spare anyone who wants my life ! From the moment you attacked me, I never let you go.

You... ruthless... Bao protruded his eyeballs, the thief finally died.

Thief is dead. Unless he is a high-ranking priest or servant who completely entrusts his life and soul to the gods, any believer can only fall into the arms of the god of death after death.

The pleasant system notification sound came again: Drain the target's soul energy and gain 2100 killing experience points.

Sure enough, even if it's just a make-up, the Bronze-rank professional still brings a lot of experience!

Raven was in a good mood, and added killing experience to the assassin class, so that he became a level 9 assassin. Level 9 assassins strengthen sneak attack skills, but the improvement is actually not that high.

What Lei Wen is looking forward to is the arrival of level 10, which is a small leap in the novice stage.

In addition to gaining a lot of killing experience, obsidian thorns and other things returned to their original owners, Lei Wen also gained a good dagger.

Item name: Black Corroded Dragon Tooth【+1】

Type: Dagger

Weight: 0.5 kg

Item Level: [Excellent Bronze Rank Equipment]

Damage: 2-6 points

Item Description: This is a dagger made from fragments of black dragon teeth. It has been soaked in the venom of the former owner for a long time. It is sharp and highly poisonous, as well as slightly corrosive.

Equipment Requirements: None

Equipment effect: sharpness characteristic, +1 sharpness, +2 armor penetration.

Weapon characteristics: [very poisonous], after this weapon penetrates into the opponent's body and touches the blood, it will force the opponent to make a poison immunity test, if it fails the check, it will cause 5-8 points of damage every 5 minutes to the opponent, and the toxicity lasts half an hour.

This dagger is actually okay, slightly worse than Pure Rime Dance, but Raven intends to use this dagger as an over-equipment and give Pure Rime Dance to Karin instead.

Poisoned daggers make no distinction between friend and foe. There was once an unlucky ghost who was cut by his own poisonous dagger, and couldn't find the corresponding antidote for a while, so he died of poison. It is better for professional assassins with high poison immunity to use this thing.

In addition, a piece of leather armor was harvested. This is a breastplate made of the leftovers of Wyvern's skin. It only provides +4 armor value, but it is light enough, which is better than nothing.

Lei Wen put on the Wyvern breastplate directly.

Just as Lei Wen put away the dagger, he was stunned to find that the Strangler Golem stood in front of him at some point.

what happened! ?

Raven was puzzled, he quickly reviewed the process of talking with the golem, he should have made no mistakes.

An accident beyond Raven's imagination happened.

The strangled golem twisted the rope to say something like this: Xiang Yi failed the mission again and again. A golem that failed the mission has no value in existence, but Sheng Yi hopes that Your Excellency will give me another chance.

Give it another chance! ?

Raven's heart beat wildly, and he knew that it was the joy of ecstasy.

The system's prompt also objectively proved Lei Wen's guess.

Strangling Golem Rope One is lost because it lost its owner. It wants to recognize you as its master. You can choose to refuse, and Strangling Golem Rope One will become a permanent neutral monster after half an hour, fulfilling the guard task given to him by the previous owner , until the soul flame is extinguished or destroyed.

You can also choose to accept. Sheng Yi will conduct a compound test on your bloodline and knowledge. After passing the test, you will become the master of Sheng Yi. If you fail the test, it will be regarded as a deception to Sheng Yi, and you will be killed by Sheng Yi. endless pursuit.

Raven, who has accepted countless tasks in the game, has never been so entangled like now. He understood all the system's prompts, but he was not sure.

Golem lore Raven is absolutely proficient.

What troubled him was his pedigree. Most of the medium and high-level golems circulating on the Ultron Continent today are the masterpieces of the extinct Nelas Empire artificers.

Among the eleven basic professions, warlocks, who are the richest and handsomest and also the most pedigreed, are pitifully rare today. After all, most warlocks have perished in the long river of time. There were very few players who successfully became warlocks in the game back then, and they were worshiped as national treasures by the major guilds.

Raven opened the attribute panel, and once again stared at the question mark behind his half-elf race.

He sighed.

This is definitely a serial gamble.

First of all, he has to bet on whether he has the blood of a warlock. If not, he will be immediately hunted down by the strangling golem.

Second, if you really have the blood of a warlock, then you have to bet on whether you are a warlock. If you are not an artificer, it would be too bad to accept the strangling golem. For example, if you are a dragon-born warlock and rely on the blood of the dragon, if you suddenly accept a construct golem, it will take up your quota of summons. Although the strangling golem can still be upgraded to the golden rank, but once he steps into the legend, it will become a chicken rib among chicken ribs.

In the end, even if he really has the blood of an artificer, he can't confirm whether the blood is thin or not. If the bloodline is thin, rashly accepting a silver-level golem at the black iron level will cause a devastating blow to the already thin bloodline, and it may directly cause him to be unable to use Warlock as a deputy or part-time job for the rest of his life.

In short, the risks are too great.

Of course, behind the high risk is the high return.

A silver-rank strangling golem can safely pass through the most dangerous novice period. When you reach the silver rank, your life-saving means will definitely be several times more than what you have now.

This... what should I do?

Raven's head was getting bigger, after much consideration, he decided to refuse. Unlike activating shadow energy, which must be done, strangling golems is not a must for him. It is really not worthwhile to take such a big risk in exchange for a golem that cannot be advanced to legend.

Raven imitated the tone of a warlock in Neras and said: We are most concerned about equivalent exchange. I haven't awakened my bloodline yet. Accepting you now will have a major impact on my bloodline. So my answer is 'no '.

After speaking, Lei Wen walked out of the house without turning his head.

He didn't dare to look back, he was afraid that if he couldn't stand the temptation, he would really agree.
