Regarding Greem’s gratefulness, Mary expressed her disdain.
Mary lightly snorted, then the remaining pool of blood entwined her body fully, transforming into an exquisite red dress.
Greem called back his Demon Alligator and decided to rush back to Adept Tower but Mary, who had just recovered suddenly turned her head and stared at a random direction with her emerald green eyes.
“Wait, what is that thing?”
Greem was startled for a moment. He followed Mary’s line of sight and his glance moved over. He saw a yellowish green rock with a circumference of 1 meter, placed right in the center of camp.
Ugh… a rock?
Greem’s eyes scanned the surrounding area. Aside from the small and shattered ones that scattered across the entire camp, there wasn’t any large rocks that could be found. But now, a large rock suddenly appeared beside the only broken tent in this camp. It was rather strange and and abrupt.
Mary and Greem exchanged glances, and understood each other’s thought with just a look.
They have to make this Snorlax fall under their control!
This was a goblin who once served a Second Grade Adept! Any magical knowledge or special information dug out from its mouth would be enough to bring great benefits to both of them. As for the secret treasure of the Adept mentioned by Snorlax, they simply forgot about it and never bothered again to ask any further.
They weren’t idiots! Could a frightening Second Grade Adept really tell a mere goblin about the whereabouts of their treasure? This was a joke to an intelligent and experienced mighty Adept! Maybe this Snorlax had taken those magical experiment wastes the Adept casually threw away as treasure!
With his mind filled with endless speculations, Greem held Mary in a princess carry and climbed up to the Demon Alligator, also bringing along the goblin whose name was Snorlax. They, once again, submerged into the ground.
…
Within the broken-down tunnel.
Three figures of varying heights could be seen squatting in front of the remains of the Rock Snake, silently examining what’s left of it in front of their eyes. The broken core that had lost all its light and Elementium was now held in Pseudo-Adept Philip’s hand, as he gave it a thorough observation.
“How is it? Did you find anything?” The short Pseudo-Adept, Hegel, yawned and asked impatiently, “You have spent the last half an hour just looking at it, just tell me what’s so unusual about it?”
“This is an Elementium core taken from a Pseudo-Adept level Earth Giant!” After pondering for a long time, Philip finally voiced out his findings with a deep voice.
“Garbage! Anyone can tell that easily. If that’s the only thing you can tell, why do we still need you, an expert in Earth element, to give us your insights about this thing.” Hegel rudely said.
Meanwhile, Langdon was standing quietly on the side. His eyes were filled with a frosty glow. It’s obvious he still hadn’t gotten rid of the anger caused by letting his enemies escape.
“There’s a total of fourteen special rune arrays engraved on it, most of them are magical arrays used to absorb and store Earth element energy, while the rest have the purpose of Elementium Grant Life, Elementium Summoning, Mind Control Imprint System, and Elementium Tempering. Through a unique method, all these independent arrays are interconnected, transforming into a brand new three-dimensional magical array! This is the reason why this Rock Snake possessed such an incredible strength, able to trap a Pseudo-Adept which enabled their escape.”
Hearing the mocking words of the guy, Hegel was lit with the flames of anger.
“Damn it, can you really blame me? You told me to stop an Advanced Apprentice and a Beginner Apprentice from leaving this place, but you never told me that guy owned a large beast like this! Hey Philip, with your amazing magical knowledge, do you know any Beginner Apprentice who can control a Pseudo-Adept level Golem? Do you think this is logical?”
“Hmph. He’s an Intermediate Apprentice now!”
“Alright, alright! Even if he’s an Intermediate Apprentice, don’t you think this situation is rather abnormal?”
“This is nothing abnormal. If he can find a master Alchemist, drew out enough power from the core and utilized it, the amount of Spirit he will need in order to control it would be greatly reduced. It isn’t something unbelievable for a Beginner Apprentice to control a Pseudo-Adept level Golem. It’s just that with his Spirit, it’s very difficult to fully unleash the combat strength of the Golem!”
After listening to the conversation of the two, Langdon finally spoke.
“If these Golems were crafted by that Greem himself?”
Philip was stunned for a brief moment, but shook his head before saying, “Then he must be a genius alchemist of this generation! If not, then I can’t think of any other method that can utilize an Elementium core up to such an incredible level.”
“As for the answer, we will know the next time we meet him again. No matter what, he still has to come back to the Underground World. And at that time, we’ll know all the answers we want after capturing him.” Hegel said with a carefree manner, “Oh right, Langdon. Since I followed you for this mission, Mine No. Seven that I was supposed to guard had been robbed by those bastards from the surface. I’m afraid you will have to recompense for the losses! Also, if we are questioned by master Adept Puner, I hope you can calm down his anger!”
Upon hearing what Hegel said, the handsome face of Langdon had twisted once again.
The temperature of the cave dropped down by a few degrees!
