"I was about to report this when both stopped."
Wang: "Very good, at least I don't have to fire the scorching rays myself. Li Guang, you guys stay outside and guard the cave entrance at any time."
"clear."
After putting away the sound stone, Wang took a deep breath and said, "Well, let's take a look at the remains of this Cyclops Empire. What exactly is it?"
Chapter 177 "Elizabeth is a bottle of fine wine"
After Wang finished speaking, he was about to walk towards the equipment in the ruins, but suddenly turned back and stretched out his hand to Marika.
Marika asked confusedly, "What's wrong?"
Wang: "Give her to me."
Although Marika still didn't understand, she handed Elizabeth in her arms to the king.
The king did not carry her in a princess hug. Instead, he let her lean on his shoulders while standing, and put his arm around her waist to prevent her from sliding down.
He just kept this posture.
Flint commented sharply: "You look like you are tasting wine. What do you think? Elizabeth is a good wine?"
Wang: “Then we must first look at how to define good wine…”
Xiao Bai: "I can't stand it! How about I beat him up and make him wise up!"
Marika smiled and said, "No, no, this kind of thing is of course for us drow elves to do~"
Nini interrupted the conversation seriously: "Have you forgotten that his wet nurse is not only the devil archduke, but also a succubus? And the devil recruits lord-level people like the archduke, and the succubus may also be a lord-level person, such as the succubus queen."
Wang: "It's okay. Kulanoti was mainly responsible for breastfeeding me and didn't participate much in my education."
Silence fell, and for a moment the only sound in the room was Elizabeth's soft snoring.
The dwarf's roar broke the silence: "That's the Succubus Queen! She's only half a level lower than Caris Newman!"
Wang: "Hmm? Maybe it's because my uncle asked her to wear a robe and hide her wings and tail when she takes me with her, so I often forget that she is a succubus."
Flint: "Can your uncle ask the Succubus Queen to do such a thing? This..."
Wang: "They chat and laugh with many creatures of this level. After all, they are planeswalkers."
Marika said thoughtfully: "In this case, it is normal that he can resist the might of the lich. The succubus queen is charming in nature. Even if she wears a robe to hide her wings and tail, mortals can't move in front of her. They will only become obedient puppets.
"Then the king maintained his normal will under such circumstances and also... replenished his nutrition. I can only say that it is abnormal that the princess's charm to humans can work on him. When Her Highness wakes up, I will tell her this and she will definitely be overjoyed."
Wang: "When she wakes up, can you ask her to use her as a pillow for me? I think it will be very sweet to sleep with her in my arms. How about before she wakes up..."
Marika: "No! You can talk to her about this yourself. If she agrees, I won't care."
Xiaobai: "I bet she won't agree. Dabai is also a stubborn person. She just wants to have true love. If either of these two had a quick mind, Dabai's belly would be at least this big now."
Xiaobai gestured on himself.
Wang: "Yes, I have already suggested to her that since we both want to do that, let's experience my enchantment spells..."
Marika snatched her princess back: "Go away! You should find a golem to 'improve your understanding of enchantment spells' in the future!"
Wang scratched his head.
Xiao Bai: "Maybe he really can do it."
Wang: "No, I don't have that kind of thought about the golem now."
Flint: "As long as you have an idea, it's fine? You're really not picky!"
The king shrugged, picked up the Cyclops Energy Nuclear Staff that had just been put down, and walked towards the two-man-tall golem that had stopped moving.
Because the only two light sources now were one in his hand and one floating with him, the team members subconsciously followed him and stayed within the range of light.
After carefully examining the words on the golem, Wang said, "This is the machine soul of the entire floating island."
Flint: "What? There are still organic souls on the entire island?"
Xiaobai: "What is machine soul?"
Wang: "When you build a golem, it must have a certain degree of intelligence. For example, if you build a defensive golem, it must know when to stand up and attack the enemy, and what the enemy is. This requires the use of machine souls.
"Generally, the machine soul is attached to a small magic gem. When manufacturing, larger and better quality gems are used, and the machine soul can be made more complex. So there should be a very large gem inside this golem."
Flint: "If you find a craftsman who is good at making golems, you can even wash out the machine soul in the gem and re-compile the machine soul."
Wang: "Never mind that for now. If we want to restart the floating island, we have to dig out this machine soul first. Barbarian!"
Flint: "Stop hitting me!"
King: "No need this time. You can lend him the flail. The Barbarian should be able to smash the motionless Golem."
"That's fine." The dwarf took off the flail and handed it to the barbarian.
The barbarian swung the flail and smashed it hard on the golem. The first hit only caused some scratches on the golem's skin.
Flint: "This thing is much tougher than those medium-sized one-eyed golems."
Wang: "No wonder it just said this is the ultimate means of defense."
After that, the barbarian hit it a dozen times, but it only turned the scratches on the skin into cracks.
The king was shocked.
"Stop!" He called out to the barbarian who was about to continue, and moved closer to the crack to observe it carefully. "Among all the flail heads, only the one with strong acid has a more obvious effect. This thing is afraid of strong acid."
As he said this, he took a step back and took out a dart from the spell material bag. After a few gestures and spells, he threw the dart at the golem.
The dart turned into an arrow condensed from green strong acid the moment it was thrown. It hit the golem and scatters with a pop, and then green smoke comes out of the golem shell around the hit point.
Wang: "It seems to be working, it just needs a little more! Nini! Use the acid splash in your trick with me!"
Nini has been learning magic from Wang for a while. Although she cannot cast first-level spells yet, she can perform tricks like acid splashing.
So the two mages threw small acid balls condensed by the acid splash trick at the golem one after another.
Soon the golem's entire chest was smoking.
Nini suddenly said, "There's no end to it if we throw it down like this. How about you let me borrow the power of the Cyclops' nuclear scepter to make a big splash of acid?"
Wang: "But then you will be in a coma for three days like Elizabeth."
Nini: "I am an elf. I have never experienced what sleep is since I was born. Isn't it a good opportunity to experience it now?"
Wang: "Alright! Let's get started!"
As he said this, he put his arm around Nini's waist.
"The other hand on the staff!" he said.
Nini had seen Elizabeth do it several times, so she followed suit and placed her left hand on the glowing energy core.
Wang: "Cast the spell!"
Nini shouted a spell and waved her hand forward. A huge ball of acid formed in the air and slowly floated towards the golem.
Before the acid ball hit the golem, Nini's head tilted and fell on the king.
Just now, Elizabeth had used the second ring's scorching rays and had managed to kiss the king on the cheek, but Nini had fainted after just using a magic trick.
Wang stared at the ball of acid until it hit the golem and exploded, then he turned to check on Nini.
The elf slept peacefully, without even snoring, and his breathing was very light.
Wang pinched her ears subconsciously, but there was no response - usually, if he blew into the tip of her ear, Nini would jump up from her chair.
It seemed that she really fell asleep.
The king glanced at Marika, who was already holding Elizabeth.
Marika: "Okay, put her down, I'll take care of her. Really, we shouldn't have a perfect team in the future, just recruit some more tools to work with you to cast magic."
Wang put Nini on the ground and replied, "It's not impossible."
He turned to the golem.
The effect of the huge acid ball just now was not as good as expected. It only dissolved a shallow layer of stone on the surface of the golem in such a short period of time.
Gotrek asked, "Smash it?"
Wang: "No, wait until all the acid is used up before smashing it. Let's take a look at his stuff first."
As he spoke, he raised the energy core in his hand and walked towards the base of the golem - the golem ran out of energy just as it stepped off the base.
There is a crystal ball on the pedestal.
Wang stared at the crystal ball for a few seconds and said, "Flint, come and see if this crystal ball is the machine spirit?"
Flint came over to take a look and immediately said, "No, I think this crystal ball is some kind of display device."
Wang heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, fortunately, if this is the machine soul, then Nini would have fallen asleep in vain."
The king then checked the things around him, and after reading a passage written by the Cyclops, he called out to the barbarian: "Gotrek, come here and pull this handle-like thing upwards."
Gotrek came over, took the handle—
Wang: "This is designed based on the strength of the Cyclops. I don't think it's that easy—"
The barbarian shouted "Hi" and the handle was pulled directly to the highest gear position.
Barbarian: "It's pretty easy to pull."
Wang was about to answer when the entire pedestal began to move.
It began to spin, like a screw pulling itself out of its hole.
When the base stops rotating, a straight passage appears, allowing you to travel directly from one end of the base to the other.
In the middle of the passage, there was something that was very familiar to the rescue team.
Flint: "Another empty Cyclops Core! If we put this one in, will the floating island start again?"
Wang: "Then the machine soul that identified us as rebellious slaves will mobilize all its forces to attack us again? No, we can't do that before dismantling the machine soul. But we can take away this null energy core first."
As he spoke, Wang handed the staff in his hand to Xiaobai, then he reached into the base and took out the energy core.
He walked out of the base with the energy core in his hand, and after studying it for a while, he asserted, "It is of the same order of magnitude as our energy core. If we put our energy core in it, we should be able to restore most of the functions of the floating city, including suppressing the slaves with two eyes."
Flint reminded him, "Remember, there are two fire-breathing statues on the surface. Don't think everything is fine just because we have solved this thing in front of us."
