Chapter 186 The Golden Puppet
Lu Ping followed the butler to the right side of the castle, and pressed on a mural in a corridor. The wall trembled slightly, and the stone slabs moved one by one. In the blink of an eye, a doorway and a downward staircase appeared, and the bottom was dark and without light.

The butler led the way with a lantern in front. After walking down the stairs, there was a long corridor with many rooms on both sides. Going forward, the passages lead in all directions. Where is the "one" secret room?It was clearly a whole basement.

Lu Ping couldn't help asking: "How big is it inside?"

The steward said: "It is similar to the ground, maybe even bigger than the buildings on the ground. In fact, I have never been to some secret rooms."

"What, you haven't been there either?"

"Yes, in fact, I am the steward of the previous and subsequent lords. I have lived in this castle for more than ten years, but I never dreamed that there is another floor underground, and there may be more than one floor. After the previous leader came up, please A group of dwarf craftsmen came to repair the castle and discovered the secret passage, and later discovered some secret rooms one after another, and perhaps some secret rooms have not been discovered until now."

Lu Ping was surprised: "What's in the rooms on this floor?"

The housekeeper said: "There used to be a lot of rubbish, skeletons, broken copper and iron, and so on. Later, they were all cleaned out, and now they are all empty, so I didn't tell you."

Lu Ping guessed that it wasn't because the housekeeper forgot or didn't think it was important, so he didn't tell him. It was because he was a newcomer before and didn't have enough conditions to enter here. Now that Harmondale has been saved, and the prestige of the territory has also increased, the trigger condition has been met, so the housekeeper brought him. come here.

While walking forward, Lu Ping's small map also showed the terrain structure here. In addition to a large number of neat passages and rooms, there are also huge and empty halls, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, restaurants, study rooms, laboratories, etc. Quite complete.There are still some irregular passages radiating outside, leading to nowhere, and the occupied area may really be larger than the castle above.

Lu Ping asked: "Who built these secret rooms and what are they used for?"

"The city of Harmondale was originally built by the Griffin Empire to fight against the attacks of the elves. It was probably in 689, right? But it fell into the hands of the elves only three years after it was built, and then it kept changing owners. Until now It has changed owners fourteen times, and no one has ever been able to live here for a long time, alas..."

The butler shook his head and sighed. He, the "senator of the three dynasties", was full of emotion, and then said: "In 1008, the necromancer Terrence Lockewen II occupied the city of Harmondale and killed almost all the people. According to the Tibetan Survivors on the mountain said that they saw many peasants captured to repair the castle and dig secret passages, and these people never came out again. When the castle was recaptured the next year, there was no trace of construction work in the castle. , until the previous owner discovered the secret passage, and found a large number of skeletons inside, perhaps they were the civilian husbands back then."

Lu Pingdao: "So most of the secret rooms were built by the undead, and other lords may have built secret rooms, so there may be secret rooms in the castle that have not been discovered."

"Yes, yes. You see, this entire row is a prison cell with all kinds of instruments of torture. Those who dared to resist the necromancer suffered a lot here before dying miserably. The necromancer trusts the dead more and does not like living."

The place the butler pointed to was two neat rows of stone rooms. There was a huge lock on the solid iron door, and there was only a small window on the door. The inside was pitch black, and Lu Ping was not interested in looking at it.

"I heard that there is a secret passage in the castle that can lead to the outside, is it true?"

"It did exist before, but it has already been blocked and a deadly trap has been installed. If anyone still wants to come in from there, there may be nowhere to find the corpse."

Lu Ping stuck out his tongue in secret, he wanted to find this secret passage, but luckily he couldn't find it.

Walking to the last room of the cell at the end of the passage, the butler held up a lamp and shone inside: "The golden man is inside, do you want to open it?"

"want!"

The butler took out a big key to unlock the door, and gently pushed the door open, as if afraid of waking up the golden puppet inside.Although he handled lightly, the heavy iron door still made a harsh "cracking" sound, which was especially harsh in the basement.

In the center of some narrow cells stood a huge puppet figure, which shone with a golden luster under the dim light. It was suspected to be made of gold, which was quite shocking.

This golden man is more than two meters tall. He wears a battle helmet with two horns on his head, but he has no clothes on his body except a piece of cloth around his waist. His whole body is covered with bulging muscles. His appearance is similar to that of Lu Ping in the ancient mine The Tin Woodman I've seen here is somewhat similar, but stronger and more powerful.

Lu Ping was a little shocked: "Can it... still move?"

The butler said: "I used to patrol the castle. After the old master put it here, he couldn't move. I don't know magic at all, so I don't know how to make him move. Maybe after you rescue the old master, they will tell you The way you make the golden man move."

Lu Ping cursed secretly: Fuck, bring me to see this thing has another purpose, urging me to save the old lord!

To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to the task of saving the old lord. First, it was too difficult, and he couldn't do it with his current strength; second, he didn't want to save the old lord. Is the lord still an ass?
However, Lu Ping really likes this golden man. From its appearance, it can be seen that its defense and resistance are much higher than that of the Tin Woodman, and the steward also said just now that the puppet is absolutely loyal and absolutely obeys orders. With this golden man in hand, he will have a super strong guard.

Firebird mainly uses long-range magic attacks. If there is a golden man with super protective power as a human shield, it will be a perfect combination. Who will still be his opponent in the future?
"What level is this golden man?"

For NPCs, there is no concept of levels, so the butler doesn't know what to say, so Lu Ping had to put it another way: "How powerful is it, can it beat the guards in the castle?"

The butler laughed and said, "I've never seen it fight with the guards, and no guards have ever dared to provoke it. If you see it, you will run away from it."

Lu Ping is even more "heart-like", this golden man is absolutely powerful, it is very likely to be level 100, maybe even higher, absolutely invincible with him, absolutely cool!But how can the old lord be rescued?

Whether you can save the old lord depends on the situation, but you have to go see them once...

Lu Ping circled the golden man twice, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, but in the end he suppressed the restlessness in his heart. Now he really doesn't have the strength to save the old lord. Anyway, the golden man won't run away here, so it doesn't matter. urgent.

Leng Wa can't let Leng Wa know about these things, otherwise he will definitely fight every day to save the old lord, so he said to the housekeeper: "Don't tell the other generation lords about the secret way and the Jinren, lest they dig it up. very messy."

The housekeeper nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, especially that big-mouthed orc. He ransacked around and broke two vases and knocked down four doors. No matter what, we must not let him know."

Lu Ping was surprised: "What did he open the door for?"

"He said he was looking for treasure, and he tore down all the doors that couldn't be opened. Not only were the doors broken, but the walls were also damaged in several places. If the female elf didn't control him, he would have torn down the entire castle. "

Lu Ping was so angry and funny, I never expected Leng Wa to do so many feats behind his back.

After coming out of the underground secret room, Lu Ping remembered that the treasures rewarded by the system were in the safe deposit box, and he didn't know the attributes, so he hurried to the small bank in the castle.

As soon as he turned the corner, he saw Bing Jiling and An Li walking together, and Bing Jiling said, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"

Lu Ping asked, "What's the matter?"

"Go to the copy of the Snake Temple. They didn't come to the city, so they went directly to meet up there."

"Okay, let me go and see what the treasures rewarded by the system are."

As soon as they heard about going to see the treasure, Bing Jiling and An Li immediately cheered up and followed him.When he arrived at the small bank, Lu Ping opened the safe deposit box, and there was indeed something new in it, which looked like a pair of silver shackles.

[Shackles of War]: Legend has it that a great invincible king cast this pair of shackles and injected powerful magic power to prevent the enemy from escaping from the battlefield, but he also died on the battlefield in the end.Attributes: Keeping this item on the body can reduce the movement speed of both combatants by 30% when retreating or fleeing, and the effective radius is 1000 meters.Quality: Treasure, Equipment Requirements: None.

The three looked at each other, is this treasure the best or garbage?

"So it's not equipment, and it doesn't increase character attributes." An Li was a little disappointed.

"It also affects my own people, what kind of treasure is this?" Bingjiling lost interest.

Lu Ping looked left and right while holding it: "How does it judge retreat and escape? Isn't it okay to retreat strategically?"

An Li said: "Of course it can be determined. When the idea of ​​running away or retreating flashes through your mind, the system knows it and is affected by this treasure. Just like the protection of the opposite sex in the system, violations of active consciousness will be punished. Unintentional touch but nothing..."

Speaking of this, it probably reminded her of many "involuntary" intimate contacts with Lu Ping, and then took the initiative to have intimate contact with Lu Ping in the forum of the Knights of Justice and Glory, her face blushed.

Lu Ping didn't notice her, and was still thinking about the attributes of the shackles of war: "If the speed drops by 30%, you really can't escape if you want to. When the strength is far superior to the enemy, it is definitely powerful! It's a pity that its effect It is passive, and it will take effect directly without equipment in the package, and it cannot be used flexibly according to the actual situation, and if it is not done well, it will really hurt yourself."

An Li blinked her big eyes, with a whimsical look: "If there is a prop or container, it won't work if you put the shackles of war in it, but it will work when you take it out, so that you can carry it on your body and use it at any time."

"Is there such a prop?" Lu Ping and Bingjiling asked at the same time.

"I'll say whatever I want."

"..."

Lu Ping really loves and hates this treasure. Imagine using it to hunt down and kill monsters that like to run away, or bring it with you when you are sure to win. Whether you are fighting alone or in an army, it is powerful and can make the enemy depressed. but if he suddenly encountered a powerful enemy, he would be doomed, unless he lost this treasure.

Anyway, I don't need it for the time being, so I'll put it in the safe deposit box first.

There is a "Yuan Shen Pill" in the box, which was opened from the box rewarded by Archibald after winning the election for the acting lord of Harmondale. Eating it by riding a pet can stimulate the potential to learn new skills. As an adult, Lu Ping was afraid that eating it would affect the skills he learned normally, so he refrained from giving it food, and now he can eat it.

Lu Ping released the Fire Bird, and then took out the Primordial Spirit Pill: "Xiao Hong, eat this."

Firebird stared at the beads in his hand curiously, turned his head around: "What is this? Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious. This is a great tonic. Eating it can greatly improve your abilities!"

Firebird showed a look of vigilance and suspicion, and shrank his head back: "My ability is strong enough, and I don't need to take medicine. Don't you know that medicine is three-point poison? If it is poison, I don't want a cup." tool?"

Lu Ping, Bingjiling, and An Li were all surprised. This guy can talk too much, right?Lu Ping frowned and said, "Where did you learn such a mess?"

"Or is it not what you often say?"

The three of them were in a cold sweat. If this continues, it will be even better than the players.

Lu Ping said: "Eat it quickly, will I still cheat you? I am reluctant to eat what is left for you!"

Firebird reluctantly took two steps forward, tilted his head and looked at it for a few more times, then reluctantly took it in one mouthful and swallowed it.There was a flash of red light on its body, the heat wave was overwhelming, and then it returned to normal. It slammed its mouth: "Well, although the taste is not very good, the effect is still a little bit."

The system prompts that the pet has learned a new skill. Lu Ping hurriedly opened the pet panel to check, and sure enough, there was an extra skill.

[Elemental Barrier]: This magic can generate a protective shield to protect the pet and its owner, and absorb part of fire, water, earth and air magic damage.

It turned out to be a protective magic. Lu Pingwei was a little disappointed. Originally, he hoped that Firebird could learn a super single-target attack skill.Previously, they were all high-level NPCs in Fortress Liwen. He didn't dare to release the Firebird to fight, so he didn't know how effective its group attack magic "Fenyun" was.

An Li and Bingjiling asked eagerly, "What skills have you learned?"

Lu Ping explained the effect of the skill, because the pet's skill description was very vague, so he didn't know the amount of damage absorbed, the duration and cooling time of the magic.

Lu Ping asked: "What is the specific effect of your magic, how much mana is needed to use it once, and how much damage can it absorb?"

Firebird didn't seem to understand what he was talking about, but he looked triumphant: "Anyway, it's very powerful, very powerful!"

"..." Meeting such a bird, the three of them could only be speechless.

An Li said: "This magic can act on both the owner and the pet at the same time. It is much stronger than ordinary pet skills, and it is a high-level beast, so the effect will definitely not be bad."

Bingjiling said: "Try it and you will know, it happens that we are going to the dungeon."

Lu Ping took out something from the package and gave it to Ice Cream: "I almost forgot to give it to you, this thing is just right for you."

"Angel Feather Arrow! Treasure?!"

Bing Jiling and An Li both screamed, and An Li went on to say: "It seems that there is a man named Jujiro Izuku in the Musashi Guild who also has such an arrow. Could it be that he shot it?"

"One night ten times? What a powerful name..." Lu Ping muttered, "I don't know what one night ten times or one night eight times, but it is indeed the murder of the Musashi guild."

Bing Jiling was surprised and delighted, and couldn't put it down: "It's great, I'm short of good arrows, and they will come back automatically. I will save money for buying arrows in the future, haha..."

An Li was a little jealous: "You won't be so poor that you can't even afford arrows, you can try it and see how it works."

Bingjiling immediately took out his bow, put on the angel feather arrow, his left hand was as steady as Mount Tai, his right hand was like holding a baby, and he opened the bow like a full moon. He shot towards the branch seven or eighty meters away without much aim.

With a sound of "咻", a white light shot away, and a twig snapped in response. Before it fell to the ground, the angel feather arrow had already appeared in Bingjiling's hand.

So fast!The speed of shooting is fast, and the speed of returning is also fast. It is true that you don't need to bring arrows in the future.Ordinary arrows are of course cheap, but arrows with attributes and extra damage are very expensive, and it is even more impossible to buy arrows with air magic damage +50 and 3% ignore the target.

Bingjiling naturally beamed with joy: "That's great, thank you, thank you!"

Lu Ping smiled and said, "Don't thank me, Tingxue actually picked it up."

"Ah, then I have to thank her well when she comes back!"
