From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 167 I wish you an early year!

Triss felt the chaotic energy in her body and nodded.

"Okay, the battle ended quickly, we rested for an hour. Then we went to explore the magic ruins under the Temple Island." Lann explained to Triss, "There is a secret laboratory, there are many magic notes and magic spells items, and if I recall correctly, a cat-pie witcher possessed by a demon."

…………

In the vast night, a crow with royal blue eyes fluttered around the Temple Island.

The dark night is its best protective color. It soars wantonly on the rock walls around the Temple Island, as if it has some purpose, deliberately shuttles through the cracks in some rocks.

Suddenly, it found something, and quickly flapped its wings to raise its body, all the way up, and soon returned to a beautiful red-haired female sorceress.

Triss opened her palm, and the crow kept flapping its wings and hovered in the air. Suddenly, the feathers and flesh all over its body overflowed like light dust, turned into chaotic energy and disappeared in the air, leaving only a crystal skull without the support of its floating power. Fall into the palm of Triss.

This is the crystal bird skull that Triss sold to Lann. It was only used as a low-level phantom seeing device in Lann's hands before, but Lann no longer needs this thing after becoming a demon hunter.

So after establishing a good friendship with Triss, the skull returned to Triss.After all, this kind of magic item can only be used to its fullest effect in the hands of a warlock.

Triss stared at the hole in the eye socket of the crystal bird's skull for a long time, and said to Lan, "I found the place you described."

The entrance to the laboratory was not under the water, but behind a mountain covered by a huge rock peak. Following a narrow passage filled with moss, weeds and broken corpses, the two quickly found the cave.

A huge and regular wall appeared in front of the two of them, and the artificial traces could be clearly felt, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding primitive rock walls.

And Lan knew that this wall was more than just "artificial". At this moment, the griffin badge on his neck was shaking slowly.

Triss didn't even need to close her eyes to feel the vague chaotic energy in the surrounding air: "This wall is an illusion, and there is a hole behind it. This is really a secret laboratory!"

Lane asked, "Can you dispel this illusion?"

Triss shook her head: "I don't know who the warlock who arranged this illusion is, but his level is higher than mine. I need some special props to help me see through illusions."

If it is in the game, the player already has special props to dispel this illusion at this moment, but now...

"Since it is chaotic energy, it is still a magic method after all-do you think this is okay?"

Triss heard the words and looked at Lann's palm, where the most direct and efficient anti-magic method appeared: [Demon-blocking Gold Bomb].

The sorceress took two steps back and made a "please" gesture to Lann.

Pull the tab, and the green dust all over the sky explodes with a bang.

Immediately afterwards, on the wall where the demon gold dust was removed, bright spots appeared suddenly, which looked like burnt white paper, and these spots quickly spread, eroding the entire rock wall.

The damp, cold and cold air that has not seen light all year round blows from behind the rock wall along with a gust of wind, and a deep and dark cave appears in front of the two of them.

"The magic gold is indeed a good thing."

Lane sighed.

Then he raised his hand and hit [Alder Sign] to blow away the remaining metal dust in the air, preventing them from hurting Triss.

Entering the cave, Lan looked around.There are jagged rocks on the rock wall, dense stalactites hanging upside down on the cave roof, and cold plants such as blood moss and wall grass can be seen everywhere.

From time to time in the deep darkness, there was a sound of "woo-woo". It might be the wind, and it seemed that there were indescribable horrors hidden in the darkness.

Lan raised his head and drank the second bottle of [Cat] potion tonight. It had been a while since Prince Toad was subdued, and the effect of the potion had already passed.

Making a silent gesture towards Triss, the two of them entered lightly and slowly, but within 5 minutes, the narrow tunnel at the entrance came to an end.

What immediately appeared in front of me was a spacious, flat, empty flat land.

There are obvious traces of human construction here, and there are several man-made ornate stone pillars looming not far away. The floor is covered with worn marble slabs, and there is a brazier for lighting at some distance.

Of course, these are not the point.

Lann pulled Triss over and pointed to the fountain in the center of the square towards her. A huge figure stood in the darkness beside the fountain.

"It's a golem!" Triss lowered her excited voice.

The overall shape of the behemoth is human-like, with well-defined and thorny thick limbs.However, the head seemed to be integrated with the neck and chest cavity, leaving only a hideous bulge.

As combat units created by warlocks, their creators may think that they don't need a head, just having hands and feet is enough.

At the moment it is still in a dormant state, like a small mountain standing in the darkness, but the two people who know the goods know that there is an earth-shattering power in that silent body.

Lan silently took out the [Construct Bio-Oil] sword oil from the [Inventory], attached a hazy halo to the rune of the Sword of the Lake Maiden, and then pinched the seal with his hands to let Kunn go up.

This is not a joke anymore, if you punch this guy, the armor on your body will probably be deformed and scrapped, and it will be remade.

In the end, Lann took out the [Thunder] potion that could strengthen muscles, and drank it on his back.

Suddenly, he felt a tingling sensation all over his body, followed by a steady stream of force being squeezed out from every muscle fiber and nerve.

His dark golden lion pupils are now darker in color, and the black blood vessels on his face are bulging, making him hideous and terrifying.

The golem has excellent magic resistance and has no will of its own, so the [Igni Sign] and [Alder Sign] have very limited attack power against it, and the [Axie Sign] is completely ineffective. Now Lan What En can rely on is the sword in his hand.

However, the witcher's countermeasures are stretched, but the sorceress is not necessarily.

"Golems are driven by magic power, but there is also the power of lightning in their bodies to provide energy. Wait for me to use lightning to destroy its internal energy system, and then you go up, and you will get twice the result with half the effort."

Lan nodded in agreement with Triss's plan, and lowered his body, like a lion gathering strength to hunt.

At the same time, the sound of chanting incantations quickly and awkwardly came from behind Lan En.

The chaotic energy in the air suddenly became thicker, and there were crackling static sounds from time to time.

The golem in the darkness sensed all this, and strips of fluorescent ribbons suddenly lit up on its unpretentious body, densely engraved with jerky and profound magic runes.

The golem is like a robot that can automatically sense. At this moment, it is activated because of Triss's magic.

"Aolong..." As if countless rocks were rolling and breaking in the mountains, a dull sound came from the huge body. Every step of the golem could trigger a tremor on the ground, and as it gradually woke up , the footsteps also began to become dense and rapid.

Golem charge!

Lan En faced the huge creature directly, and the feeling of oppression was as if a city wall whose foundation had been shattered fell towards him, and he couldn't see anything else as far as he could see.

Lan took a deep breath, and he didn't move, because the spell of the sorceress behind him had just stopped.

Accompanied by the last incantation that sounded like a scream, the trembling tail sound and the "Zi Zi" sound of lightning merged into one, and a thunderbolt as thick as an arm flashed from Triss's hand, spanning in an instant. The battlefield fell on the golem's body.

The golem's thick body crushed the lightning without hindrance, and there was not even a trace of burnt marks on the surface.

But then you can see fine arcs jumping on the surface of its body, and the runes on the outside of the golem's skin also start to flicker like a short circuit.

Lan picked up Triss and rushed aside.

Behind him, the huge golem suddenly became uncoordinated with its hands and feet, and quickly stepped on the ground, its body rolled out in mid-air, and directly hit the rock wall with a bang.

A large number of stalactites fell down like raindrops, and the splash of gravel and smoke could be as high as a person.

This golem is actually embedded in the rock wall like this, and it can't be pulled out for a while!
Triss jumped out of Lan's arms and patted the witcher on the back: "Go!"

The purple magic circle soared into the sky, and the light of the [Yarden Sign] shone on the golem. Although the effect was small, it made things worse for the golem, which was already short-circuited in energy supply.

Effortlessly dodging the fist that looked like a stop-motion animation, the majestic hammer hit the ground to create cracks, but it couldn't hurt Lann at all.

The rune long sword shone brightly, and Lan raised his hands above his head and began to charge for a short time.

In this case, there is no need to use the sword dance, but some more powerful sword moves are needed.

[anger erupts]!
"I'll give you... an early New Year's greetings!"

The arc light of the rune long sword drew a trajectory like a half moon in midair, illuminating the dark secret room for a brief moment.

The slashing of the Sword of the Lake Lady at this moment can no longer be described as "sharp". The thin sword body easily tore apart the armor made of rock and clay on the surface of the golem like a broken piece of wood.

At this moment, half of the golem's body is embedded in the rock wall. Although it is inconvenient to move, it will not be slaughtered by the neck, and begins to struggle violently.

Lan put his left palm on the enemy's leg without the slightest hesitation, [Alder's Sign · Explosion]!
With a bang, the powerful wind pressure and thought force impacted on the monster's legs. Although it failed to shake the opponent's armor, the shock wave still made the opponent's body embedded in the rock wall lose its balance again.

Afterwards, Lann held up the rune sword again.
