Wang: "Thank you very much! Let's continue talking about the hallucinogen. If we destroy the cult, you will definitely get the formula of the hallucinogen. With such a huge profit, it doesn't mean it's inappropriate at all, right?
"In order to fight against the cult, we need to improve our strength. After all, the cult has a long history of foundation, with an army and high-level mages. Any mage that comes out is a seventh-ring mage, and there must be eight or nine rings.
"In order to fight against these, we urgently need to improve our strength. As you just said, the thing that can quickly improve our strength is good equipment. To be honest, we can easily conquer the floating city of the Cyclops Empire mainly because of the five-headed flail in the dwarf's hand.
"You, the Pelican Gang, should have weapons of similar quality to support the gang, right?"
Hasher squinted his eyes and looked at Wang. The foreman next to him couldn't hold back any longer: "Are you really the salvation team? You don't sound like a good person when you speak like that!"
Xiao Bai: "I think so too. But his method is effective. It was very effective when suppressing the cult branch."
Flint: "It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat."
Nini: "The only problem is that we can't allow paladins to join the team."
Flint: "Why do we need a paladin to join the team? I know most of the spells that the paladins can use. Of course, I can't use holy healing or redemption, which are abilities unique to paladins..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise came.
Everyone looked out the window together.
Xiao Bai muttered, "Isn't the Holy Knight coming?"
At this time, the door opened and a worker rushed in in panic: "Grandma! The golem we ordered in warehouse No. 3 suddenly moved."
Xiao Bai showed a disappointed expression for a moment: "What? It's not the Holy Knight who came. I want to see how the Holy Knight kills Da Congming."
What the hell are you thinking about!
The king looked at Hasher: "Golem?"
Hasher: "We are also strengthening our armaments. After all, if the issue of hallucinogens continues to develop, a war with the cult is inevitable. But it seems that someone has tampered with our golem. Can you trouble the rescue team to take a look?"
Wang: "This has nothing to do with saving the world, right?"
Hasher: "You want our Pelican Gang's treasure, don't you? Then we have to owe you a big favor. Although dealing with the golem is just a small matter, small favors accumulated will become big favors."
Wang: "I refuse. We are causing trouble for the cult, so you can handle it yourselves."
Hasher's mouth opened into an O shape.
Flint: "You'll get used to it. Our captain's thinking circuit is different from that of ordinary people."
Nini: "If you want him to take care of this matter, you should tell him that there is a puzzle on the golem."
Marika: "Or this golem is a relic of the Cyclops Empire."
Wang: “Is it?”
Hashir: “No, it’s not.”
Wang: "Goodbye then, we're going to find Odolf."
Hashir: "But do you know where the cult is? The situation in the shantytowns is very complicated."
Wang thought for a moment and turned back: "Will you tell us?"
Hasher: "Deal with the golem, and then I'll send a guide to take you to find Odolf."
Wang: “Okay.”
Chapter 190: First Encounter with the “New” Dwarf Mechanic
The rescue team that received the mission came out of the large warehouse where Hasher was, and saw a square steel golem lifting a dock worker.
Before the king could give the order, the golem's arm smashed down directly. The dock worker didn't even have time to scream, and his body was bent into a sharp angle - a normal human body can easily bend forward to this angle, but this is the problem.
The dock worker is bent backwards at this angle, with his buttocks sandwiched between his legs and upper body.
The humans present all frowned, the sight of a broken spine caused phantom pain.
Throwing away the broken dock worker, the three-meter-tall robot turned to the newly emerged rescue team and said in a gong-like voice: "High-threat target found!"
This gong is not a metaphor, but a simple description of the fact, because the robot speaks like the sound of the gong strung together into words.
Flint was shocked. "It is indeed the dwarf's golem. After so many years, they have not modified the golem's sound-generating mechanism. It still uses the reed vibration to make sound."
Xiaobai: "The reed vibrates and makes a sound? What does that mean?"
Flint: "Have you ever seen an alarm clock that needs to be wound up?"
Xiaobai: "What is that—squeak!"
Xiaobai's words were interrupted by the saw blade fired by the dwarf golem, which went straight to Xiaobai's waist. Fortunately, the druid changed quickly and turned into a sparrow to avoid it.
The saw blade hit the warehouse on the other side directly and was embedded between two bricks of the warehouse wall.
The golem continued to fire, its saw blades heading straight for every member of the Savior Team.
Marika grabbed Elizabeth and pressed her to the ground, and she dodged the saw blade by lowering her head. The tail of her gray ponytail was cut off, and it spread out without the rubber band.
Nini did a backflip and dodged the saw blade aimed at her waist with the agility of a circus acrobat.
Wang activated the mirror technique at some point and the saw blade passed through one of the seven mirror images, making the illusion disappear immediately.
The barbarian was quick-witted and quick-handed. He clapped his hands to stop the saw blade that was rushing towards him, and then because of the high temperature caused by the friction between the rapidly rotating saw blade and his palm, he threw the saw blade aside.
Flint was the only one of them to be hit by the saw blade, which flew past his head and cut off the feathers that decorated his armor hat.
Flint: "Damn it! It's really a dwarf's creation. It deliberately aimed too high when it aimed at us dwarves!"
Wang: “Is there such a saying?”
"Of course, the dwarves will play tricks on us--"
The dwarf's "Golem" fired a new saw blade, this time an extra-large saw blade with a radius of one and a half meters, which was about to cut off the waists of all the members of the rescue team.
Nini raised her hand and shot an arrow, breaking the rope on the winch that was hanging the wood high up.
The crash of falling wood knocked the large saw blade to the ground.
The dwarf's iron man shouted: "Long-range attack means lost! Long-range attack means lost! Switch to melee mode!"
The next moment, four mechanical arms extended from the big iron man's body. Together with the original two arms, there were a total of six arms holding six thick iron rods.
Wang: "That weapon looks like the mace from the Eastern Continent, which is a large iron rod used to hit people."
Flint: "A blunt weapon... then my proud armor won't be of much use."
The dwarf's homemade armor with recall function is extremely good at defending against bladed weapons, but blunt weapons can be said to be specifically targeted against armor.
Wang: "Don't be afraid, your five-headed flail is also a blunt weapon."
"Wait a minute! Why did you mention the flail at this time? Why are you moving towards me, barbarian?"
Wang: "Barbarian! Same as last time!"
The barbarian shouted: "Okay!"
The dwarf yelled, "No!"
The barbarian grabbed the dwarf and was about to start swinging him, but the iron bars in the six hands of the dwarf iron giant began to glow at the same time.
It was a bright red light.
A fallen leaf floated in from somewhere and immediately caught fire when it touched the glowing stick.
The three-meter-tall giant wielding six heat energy maces rushed towards the rescue team!
The team members immediately scattered and hid. Elizabeth, who had the least combat experience and the dumbest body, panicked and was about to be roasted by the heat rod. At the critical moment, she was taken away by Marika.
Only Wang was left standing calmly in front of the golem.
Xiaobai turned into a griffin and was about to catch him, but he spoke up, “Don’t worry.
"The last time I saw a golem using a thermal weapon of the same level, it used a portable blue furnace as its power source. I don't believe the dwarves in this plane have the same technology."
The golem approached wielding six glow sticks, but Xiao Bai ignored what the King said and simply grabbed his shoulders and lifted him into the air.
The king continued in mid-air, "The last time I saw the golem powered by a blue furnace, it could only support one such thermal weapon. The dwarves got four of them. There must be something fishy going on."
As soon as he finished speaking, thick smoke gushed out of the joints of the Iron Giant's body, and then the six hands holding the blunt sticks all dropped down, and the sticks also poked into the ground.
At first, the heat from the sticks could melt the sand on the ground in an instant, but soon the brightness of the six sticks dropped sharply.
The king patted the griffin's claws that were holding his shoulders and said, "Let me go. I want to see what tricks the dwarves have come up with."
The griffin opened its claws and threw the king down from the second floor.
After landing, Wang staggered and half-knelt on the ground, accidentally posing in a rather handsome manner.
He stood up, rubbing his knees that were hurt from the fall, and walked towards the kneeling iron man. He carefully observed the thermal energy mace in the iron man's hand. After a moment, he laughed: "This mace is covered with a layer of fluorescent material on the surface. All we see is fluorescence."
Then he directly touched the main body of the mace.
Elizabeth exclaimed, "Be careful, it's hot!"
Wang: "Don't worry, this thing can only go up to 70 degrees. Ouch! Correct, it can still go up to 100 degrees."
Flint asked in confusion, "How do you light leaves at over a hundred degrees?"
The king did not answer, but went to check the residue left by the burning leaves.
"Flint, come and see! What kind of leaves are these? They are specially made into props! The saw blades fired by this robot and the brute force that broke the worker's spine are all real. The rest are just props for performances."
Flint went forward to check the remnants of the leaves and said, "It's true... Carlisle Newman. These dwarfs are always making trouble!"
Elizabeth: "But... it did stop because it ran out of energy, right? That means there must be a place where a lot of energy is being consumed."
Flint shook his head: "No, Princess, you don't know the nature of the dwarf's device. As long as the dwarf's creation runs for a certain period of time, there will definitely be problems.
"The reliability of airships is high because the dwarves have been making them for hundreds of years, and their reliability has been improved over and over again.
"Most importantly, the dwarves generally think that airships are old stuff and are unwilling to use their innovative talents on airships. This makes airships more reliable."
After Flint finished speaking, the Iron Giant made a loud noise, and then the armor plate on his chest fell off, and a ball with a diameter of one meter rolled out of the Iron Man's chest.
Wang raised his foot and stepped on the ball.
Flint: "I advise you to take your feet off. This thing is about to turn on."
Before Wang could reply, a stream of steam gushed out from the "equator" of the iron ball and opened upwards. Wang was about to fall to the side, but Nini quickly supported him.
Flint explained: "This ball is usually the control center prepared by the dwarves for mechanical devices. They have received the blessing of Carlis Newman, so they can use something called the Carlis Newman Steam Core to drive their devices."
Wang frowned as he looked at the thing with the holy emblem of Carlis Newman sticking out of the sphere: "Is this thing powered by divine power?"
