Flint: “Yeah.”
Wang: "I thought it was a steam engine! It turns out it's something similar to a golem?"
The golem is driven by magic, which is indeed similar to the iron colossus driven by divine power that the dwarves in front of them have built.
Just when Wang wanted to continue studying the dwarf machinery, the members of the Pelican Gang who had just hidden surrounded him.
The leader of the gang shouted, "Wow! It must be the Savior Team. They beat the arrogant dwarf iron man to his knees. They might be going to take him back to the floating city to be his slaves!"
Chapter 191: The Cult's Feint to the East and Attack to the West
When Wang heard what the Pelican Gang said, he turned his head to look at the dwarf machine and shook his head, saying, "I guess we can't rely on slaves, but they are good as collections. When we build the lord's house - no, the castle, we will naturally need some collections to decorate it.
"My uncle liked to seal the souls of the demons he killed in gems and exhibit them in the collection room together with busts made of the upper bodies of the demons. When I was a child, I especially liked to go to his exhibition room to see the secondary sexual characteristics of the succubus inside.
"Later, Kulanoti scolded me, saying that I was clearly raised on her milk, but I was still interested in the secondary sexual characteristics of ordinary succubi. I said, 'I forgot, why don't you refresh my memory?' After that, I was beaten."
Elizabeth: "Your uncle didn't react? Oh, I see, it was your uncle who did it?"
Wang: "It was Kulanoti, and then my uncle came and said while smoking his pipe: 'Kulanoti, we have been friends for so many years, I won't say anything too harsh, but remember, I have your real name.'
“The reason why I mention the real name here is because a demon usually needs to be killed twice before it dies. The first time, its body is destroyed, but its soul will return to the abyss, and it will be bred by the abyss again not long after.
"So we have to restrain this soul before it returns to the abyss, and for this we need to know the demon's true name. After restraining the demon, we can use the method we use to deal with the soul to crush its soul, and the demon will die completely.
"This is the first time I know that my uncle actually knows the real name of the Succubus Queen."
Flint: "Maybe your uncle once went on business with Kulanoti."
Wang: "This is my teacher's standard of love."
"Oh really? Sorry about that mistake," the dwarf apologized insincerely.
At this time Marika said, "When Rosalie was here before, she was always responsible for bringing the topic back to the topic. Now that she is on the floating island, I think I am the only one who can take on this responsibility. So is there any clue about this dwarf machine?"
Flint said angrily, "It's a dwarf machine! Only dwarves would think that something three meters tall is a gigantic 'Giant'. We dwarves would only call something at least ten meters tall a Giant God!"
Wang: "What giant god? Did anyone say this thing is called a giant god?"
Flint pointed at the crotch of the kneeling dwarf robot and said, "It's written here! It's normal that you tall people can't see it. This is written by the dwarfs who are shorter than us for themselves to read."
The king climbed down and looked at the iron crotch of the machine. Sure enough, he saw the words "Chainsaw Giant" written in dwarf language.
Xiao Bai also lay on the ground and took a look: "I don't understand. What are these tadpoles writing?"
Wang: "Chainsaw Titan."
Xiaobai: "What's the name of this funny machine?"
Wang said seriously, "Yes, this funny machine is called this. The Pelican Gang bought this thing to increase the port's defense and deal with the conflict with the cult. But... can this thing really increase defense?"
Xiaobai: "At least it's okay to kill the dock workers. As for us... we are the salvation team, aren't we?"
Wang: “Hmm… is that really the case?”
Elizabeth suddenly said, "Ha, King, you have been staying in the Mage Tower all your life, so it's normal that you have never seen the cunning of humans. I have seen it countless times. This must be the person who made the purchase and embezzled money!"
Flint immediately said, "No, this thing is very expensive, much more expensive than an ordinary iron golem."
Elizabeth blushed, but she refused to admit defeat: "That means there is a transfer of benefits! Do you think only cheap things can be used to enrich oneself? Expensive things can also be manipulated, and because they are expensive, they are more hidden! King, why don't you say anything?"
Wang stroked his chin and said, "That's not the point. The point is what the man who tampered with the dwarf giant wants? Doesn't he know that this will at most cause some casualties to the dock workers?"
Suddenly, he was startled: "Oh no! This is a bait! We and the dock gang have been deceived! Go back to Hasher!"
**
When they were near Hashir's office, Xiaobai, who was under Wang's crotch, shouted, "Smell of blood! The old lady was attacked!"
As she spoke, she slammed the brakes and stopped in front of the office of the former dock master.
Wang had to grab the hair on her head to ensure that he would not fall.
Xiao Bai kicked the door open and saw old lady Hasher standing in the middle of the office, breathing heavily with the help of a cane. The bodies of eight assassins were lying around them.
Wang: "Uh...are you okay?"
Hashir: "Humph, the cult members thought I was over seventy and couldn't kill anymore. Back then, I was the number one killer nicknamed Coffee Bean!"
Wang: "No, the nickname Coffee Bean doesn't seem impressive at all. It sounds funny when you say it in this tone."
Xiaobai: "What are coffee beans? Are they delicious?"
Wang: "A kind of drink. Because we found almost the same thing in multiple planes, and the way to drink it is basically the same, we in the Mage Tower believe that this is something that a planeswalker secretly brought to all planes and promoted.
"There are actually quite a lot of things like this. Another famous crop is potatoes. They exist in all planes, but they have different names."
Hasher laughed: "Watching you discuss the issue is like watching two little grandchildren. If there is nothing else, I really want to listen to you talk. But unfortunately, the cult attacked us and attacked me.
"Their tactics are simple but straightforward, the tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west is really a classic.
"The Pelican Gang and the Order are already at war. The first thing to do when the war breaks out is of course to purge the rebels in the Pelican Gang."
The king frowned: "We must first stabilize the country before fighting against foreign enemies?"
"I don't understand your fancy words, but we put it more directly: in a life-and-death situation, the most hateful person is of course the traitor who stabs you in the back." The old lady said and tried to go back to her desk, but her waist made a loud noise.
The old lady staggered, and Wang quickly supported her: "What's wrong with you?"
The old lady said: "I sprained my waist... I haven't done such strenuous activities for a long time. I can't help but accept my age!"
Marika had already checked the eight assassins, so she said, "These eight assassins are not simple. Judging from the calluses and scars on their bodies, they are all veterans. They are not comparable to the rookies we encountered in the upstream branch."
As she spoke, she looked at the king and said, "If this old lady attacks us, we may face the biggest crisis since we set out on this journey—well, considering that we killed a nine-ring lich, it should be the second biggest crisis."
"What do you say to a poor old man who has sprained his back?" the old lady said, "Young man, help me back to my chair. My chair has a massage function. You will feel better if you sit on it."
Wang nodded and helped the old lady back to her chair.
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief: "We are saved. Where were we just talking about?"
Wang: "Deal with the betrayer first."
"Yes, come on, arrest all the people who purchased this golem and those who escorted it throughout the journey. Some of them must have been infiltrated by the cult. Focus on finding out who is addicted to hallucinogens!"
After the subordinates took the order and left, the old lady looked up at the king and said, "Don't you want the location of the sect's headquarters? I'll give it to you right now."
Wang: "It suddenly occurred to me that if we go find the cult now, we will play the same role as the mechanical golem. Mrs. Hashir, you have a very good plan."
“Hahahaha,” Hasher laughed, “You finally reacted? But there’s no use reacting because you will definitely cause trouble for the cult. In fact, when I knew you were coming, I was planning to involve you in a war with the cult.”
At this time, Marika suddenly said, "I found something interesting, look!"
Wang looked at what Marika was showing and recognized it immediately: "A meatball that turns into a monster? Then why didn't this guy turn into a monster? Even if he was the number one killer at the dock back then, it would be difficult to deal with that monster, right?"
After all, not everyone has the martial arts skills of Master Li Guang's penetrating power that can restrain the monsters of the cult.
Marika: "I don't know. And this thing is placed in a hidden bag that is difficult to access. Judging from the location, the enemy has no intention of using it."
Flint: "It's normal to underestimate the enemy."
Wang: "There is another possibility, Marika, throw that thing away!"
Marika immediately threw the things on the ground and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Wang: "There is another possibility. This thing can work without being put into the mouth. Think about the outer soldiers of the cult we encountered at the Cyclops ruins. Quite a few of them did not swallow the pills."
Marika added: "Not only did they not swallow the meatballs, they were also fooled by you and surrendered, and then they transformed anyway with their hands and feet tied -"
Marika stopped watching because at that moment a black cat came out from the corner and thought the ball on the ground was its new toy, so it immediately rushed over and started playing with it.
The next moment, the black cat's body swelled up!
King: "Here it comes! The cult's unique weapon, Elizabeth, seals the throat!"
Elizabeth yelled, "The cat's throat—just hit the neck?"
At this moment, the expanding big cat suddenly swiped its claws forward. Although Marika dodged immediately, her shoulder was still touched.
A column of blood spurted out immediately.
Flint immediately prayed, and a healing light fell on Marika.
Elizabeth yelled, "Scorching ray!"
The light went straight to the monster's throat, but was blocked by thick hair. While the hair was carbonized, the monster continued to expand, with no sign of its trachea being burned.
Elizabeth: "It's so furry!"
King: "Don't be afraid, it's just a monster, shorty, your flail!"
The dwarf had finished treating the drow and rushed forward brandishing flails. Five flails hit the monster at the same time!
The monster screamed, its wounds caught fire and electric light flowed all over its body.
Wang Ye drew out the Pathfinder. This two-handed sword emitted a blazing flame as it struck the monster's tumor. The smell of burnt flesh and blood penetrated into Wang's nostrils, causing him to cough violently.
He coughed and swung his sword, trying to get rid of the monsters that were about to fill the room.
The next moment, a second monster appeared and expanded rapidly, followed by a third one -
The eight monsters filled the entire office at once.
Several members of the Pelican Gang who rushed in to rescue were directly squeezed against the wall. They let out painful, heart-wrenching screams, and then the screams stopped abruptly and turned into futile hisses, because their sternums were crushed and the contents of the chest cavity went into the throat.
The rescue team was divided into two groups at this time.
Wang, Xiaobai and Grandma Hashir were behind the desk, but they were forced backwards by the desk and are now against the window glass.
The rest of the people were in the northeast corner, next to the warehouse.
Wang: "Xiaobai, break the window and let's go through it!"
Xiaobai: "Oh! But what about Dabai and the others?"
The king turned his head and could not see the situation of Elizabeth and the others at all.
Wang: "Elizabeth, are you all right?"
Elizabeth's voice came over: "We lost our chance to escape through the door and are now squeezed into a corner!"
Wang: "Barbarian, break the wall!"
Barbarian: “I can’t use it!”
Flint added: "The space is too small! Find a solution quickly!"
