His heart was burning, but his expression remained cold. Raven half-squinted his eyes, looking at the thief as if he were looking at a dead person. "Hmph! There really is a shadow orb, why didn't your teacher take it away yourself?"
"I say! I say! There are many Shadowsteel Golems wandering around the orb! There are at least two groups of eleven. My teacher is only at the beginning of Silver level, and we can't find anyone to deal with those golems."
Made from a metal mined and forged entirely in the Plane of Shadow, the Shadowsteel Golem is a silent yet powerful guardian. Necromancers, lichs, and vampires like to use this planar golem to guard their underground realms.
city, to deal with invaders such as priests or paladins who are unlikely to be contained by undead servants.
Shadowsteel Golems can easily be mistaken for undead, as they have a shadowy appearance and move as silently as a ghost. Unlike other constructs, Shadowsteel Golems are very good at hiding themselves.
Feel free to blend in any blurry shadow.
"Are you kidding me? The Shadowsteel Golem is at least a Silver level. Can your teacher, a Silver Beginner, come back alive?" Raven's expression became fierce.
"No, no, no... It seems that those Shadowsteel Golems haven't replenished their energy for a long time, and most of them have been used up. Their strength is only at the peak of Bronze level."
When the thief said this, Raven somewhat believed it.
"Are there no other monsters?"
"I swear on the name of Mask, the god of thieves. The number may be different, but I really haven't found any other monsters."
Raven's face turned cold: "Are you kidding me? How can I, a little Black Iron-level assassin, take down so many Shadowsteel Golems!?"
The thief glanced at the Strangling Golem, which was waiting at the side without any movement, and said with a grimace, "Sir, please stop joking. You are obviously a master warlock. Let alone other things, you can clean it with just this Strangling Golem."
Drop all the Shadowsteel Golems inside."
Theoretically, a Strangler Golem with a challenge level of 52 can certainly defeat a Shadowsteel Golem with a challenge level of only 44.
In reality, high-level people do not necessarily defeat low-level people. There are too many unexpected situations. Just like now, a bronze-level thief cannot deal with Raven, a black-iron-level assassin. Not to mention the most troublesome thing like the Shadowsteel Golem.
Assassin type golem.
Speaking of which, if this news is true, this shadow orb is worth at least 500,000, or even millions of mainland gold coins. For the assassin profession, its value cannot be measured in money.
However, the thief did not realize that his secret could not save his life.
Five minutes are almost up.
Raven turned to ask the Strangler Golem in Nerathian: "I have asked all the questions I have to ask. Can I personally execute this traitor and get back what he stole?"
The rope that strangled the golem twisted his answer: "Okay."
Raven stabbed the dagger into the thief's chest, and blood spattered all over Raven's face.
"You..." The thief's face was filled with disbelief. His eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it to the end of his life. How could there be an assassin in this world who dared to risk being punished by Cyric and break his oath to kill him?
"Let me tell you a little secret. Cyric will not have the opportunity to verify my oath, because I have never planned to advance to the unique high-level assassin profession under Cyric. One of my biggest wishes in this life is
Beat that bastard Cyric!"
"Asshole...you are actually a blasphemer!"
"blasphemer? No! I will be the slayer of gods! I will only abide by the oaths sworn in my name." Raven replied with a smile: "Besides, I will never let go of anyone who wants my life.
!From the moment you attacked me, I never let you go."
"You... are cruel..." With his eyes bulging, the thief finally breathed his last.
The thief is dead. Unless he is a high-level priest or divine servant who completely surrenders his life and soul to the gods, any believer will have no choice but to fall into the arms of death after death.
The sweet system prompt came again: "Extract the target's soul energy and gain 2100 killing experience points."
Sure enough, even if it's just last-hitting, a bronze-level professional still brings a lot of experience!
Raven was in a happy mood and added the killing experience to the assassin profession, so that he became a level 9 assassin. The level 9 assassin strengthened the sneak attack skill, but in fact the improvement was not high.
What Raven is looking forward to is the arrival of level 10, which is a small leap in the novice stage.
In addition to gaining a lot of killing experience and returning obsidian thorns and other items to their original owners, Raven also gained a good dagger.
Item name: Black Erosion Dragon Fang [+1]
Type: dagger
Weight: 0.5kg
Item level: [Bronze level excellent equipment]
Damage: 2-6 points
Item description: This is a dagger made of black dragon tooth fragments. After being soaked in venom for a long time by the previous owner, it is sharp, highly poisonous, and slightly corrosive.
Weapon characteristics: [Poison], after this weapon penetrates the opponent's body and touches the blood, it will force the opponent to make a poison saving throw. If the test fails, it will cause 5-8 points of damage to the opponent every 5 minutes, and the poison will continue.
half an hour.
This dagger is actually just okay, slightly worse than Pure White Frost Dance, but Raven plans to use this dagger as an over-equipment, and instead gives Pure White Frost Dance to Karin.
A poisoned dagger makes no distinction between friend and foe. Once, an unlucky guy was cut by his own poisonous dagger. He couldn't find the corresponding antidote for a while, and ended up being poisoned to death. This thing is also a professional with high poison immunity.
Assassins use it as well.
In addition, I also received a piece of leather armor. This is a breastplate made from scraps of dragon skin from a wyvern. It only provides +4 armor value, but it is light enough and is better than nothing. It is better than this piece of defense on my body.
Weak burlap clothes.
Raven directly put on the wyvern breastplate.
Just as Raven was putting away the dagger, he was shocked to find that the Strangler Golem had stood in front of him at some point.
What's going on!?
Raven was shocked and confused. He quickly reviewed the process of his conversation with the golem. He shouldn't have made any mistakes.
An accident beyond Raven's imagination happened.
The strangling golem used a rope to twist out this paragraph: "Shengyi failed another mission. The golem that failed the mission has no value in existence, but Shengyi hopes that you can give me another chance."
Give me another chance!?
Raven's heart beat wildly, and he knew it was the excitement of ecstasy.
The system's prompt sound also objectively proved Raven's guess.
"Strangled Golem Rope 1 is confused because it lost its master. It wants to recognize you as its master. You can choose to refuse. Strangler Golem Rope 1 will become a permanent neutral monster after half an hour and fulfill the guarding mission given to him by the previous owner.
, until the soul flame is extinguished or destroyed."
"You can also choose to accept it. Shengyi will conduct a composite test on your bloodline and knowledge. After passing the test, you will become the master of Shengyi. If the test fails, it will be regarded as deceiving Shengyi and you will be punished by Shengyi.
Endless pursuit."
Raven, who has accepted countless missions in the game, has never been so entangled as he is now. He understands the system prompts, but he is not sure.
Raven is absolutely proficient in golem knowledge.
What puts him in trouble is his bloodline. Most of the medium and high-level golems circulating on the continent of Ultron today are the masterpieces of the artificers of the extinct Nerath Empire.
As the richest, handsomest and most important warlock among the eleven basic professions, warlocks are pitifully rare today. After all, most warlocks have disappeared in the long river of time. Players who were able to successfully become warlocks in the game were also very rare.
It is enshrined as a national treasure by major guilds.
Raven opened the attributes panel and once again stared at the question mark behind his half-elf race.
He sighed.
This is definitely a serial gamble.
First, he had to bet on whether he had the blood of a warlock. If not, he would be immediately hunted down by the Strangler Golem.
Second, if you really have the blood of a warlock, then you have to bet on whether you are a machine warlock. If you are not a machine warlock, it would be a big loss to accept the Strangler Golem. For example, if you are a dragonborn warlock, you rely on the dragon family.
Bloodline, if you suddenly accept a structural golem, it will occupy your summons quota. Although the strangler golem can still be upgraded to the gold level, once you step into the legend, it will become a tasteless thing.
.
Finally, even if you really have the bloodline of an artificer, you still can't confirm whether your bloodline is thin. If your bloodline is thin, and you rashly accept a silver-level golem when you are at the black iron level, it will cause a devastating blow to your already thin bloodline.
It is very likely that it will directly cause you to be unable to use the warlock as a secondary job or part-time job for the rest of your life.
In short, the risk is too great.
Of course, behind high risks are high returns.
A Silver-level Strangler Golem can safely pass through the most dangerous novice stage. When you reach the Silver level, your life-saving methods will definitely be several times more than what you have now.
This... what should we do?
Raven's head was pounding. After careful consideration, he decided to refuse. Unlike activating the shadow energy, which was something he had to do, killing the golem was not a necessity for him. Taking such a big risk in exchange for a golem that could not advance to legend,
It's really not cost-effective.
Raven imitated the machine warlock in Nerath language and said: "We are most particular about equal exchange. I have not yet awakened my bloodline. Accepting you now will have a significant impact on my bloodline. So my answer is 'No'
'."
After saying that, Raven walked out of the house without looking back.
He didn't dare to look back, he was afraid that if he couldn't resist the temptation, he would really agree.
