Chapter 280 - 191: Is This a Golem?

The completely dark golden golem first withstood the Black Dragon’s mouth for a long time, even the brute force of the Black Dragon couldn’t crush it! Then, it persisted within the dragon’s breath for a long time, without suffering any harm from it! In the end, the golem broke the mutated Dragon Knight with bare hands!

It’s not a joke! Those were four Dragon Marks! A Dragon Knight of this caliber could easily cut through pure steel! And the observant ones saw that the golem withstood three slashes head on, but they only left tiny marks on its body!

Being able to leap into the air and break a mutated Dragon Knight with four Dragon Marks, such a powerful force output, ordinary people would just be amazed. But the technicians understood that this implied that golem has an unprecedented power core!

Could it be that the White Dragon Empire have completely mastered the restoration techniques of ancient golems?

One can imagine, once war breaks out, and these sorts of golems appear in swarms, how could the opponents resist?

What can be confirmed now is that the White Dragon Empire does not have these golems in swarms. The technological development of any world is a gradual process, it’s absolutely impossible for there to be a sudden leap that baffles people. The level of golem has already surpassed everyone’s conceptual range of a golem, the White Dragon Empire definitely cannot mass produce them.

"Even in the Era of Giants, I was one of a kind," said the Fine Gold Golem.

"I used to think in the Era of Giants, powerful golems like you were standard issues," said Long Yi.

"Look at my height, in the Era of Giants, was I a play doll for children?" muttered the Fine Gold Golem. If her eyes were visible, Long Yi was sure she would be rolling them at him.

"Your master must have been a famous artisan among the giants," Long Yi stated, inferring such due to her human-like behaviors and expressions which couldn’t just be achieved by skill.

"My master was famous, but he wasn’t an artisan, he was more adept at fighting. On the battlefield, in the bed, that pervert." The golem began to curse her master again.

Scratching his somewhat itchy nose, Long Yi asked in a puzzled tone, "So, what was his purpose in creating you?"

"Of course, it was to protect you," said the Fine Gold Golem.

"You mean to say, even in the distant past, he was already aware of my existence?" Long Yi became even more curious. Were these giants prophets?

"How could that be possible? How could he see the future before it happened?" the golem retorted.

"But...?"

"It’s complicated. I could tell you, but I actually can’t. It’s a paradox of infinite or dead-end loops. Anyway, you’ll know in the future, so stop asking now," the golem stated.

Long Yi nodded, looking at the golem, with an increasingly strange feeling in his heart. He noticed that her tone seemed to be losing its coldness, showing hints of human emotion. Is she really just a golem?

On this, Long Yi should be certain, firstly she doesn’t eat, and secondly, her solid fine gold body is undoubtedly real. At first, when Long Yi’s fist directly hit her chest, the solid fine gold rebound made his fist sore.

There were too many secrets surrounding this golem. Although she benevolently revealed some to Long Yi, the opening of one secret meant the emergence of many more. The secrets Long Yi didn’t know actually increased.

Whatever, Long Yi was not the type to obsess over things. If he didn’t know, then he didn’t know. Anyway, he was sure that this Fine Gold Golem would not harm him.

Even Long Yi himself was uncertain where this confidence originated from.

At the Imperial Palace, the Emperor presided over the celebration banquet in person.

This was a glorious victory, everyone was a hero. The Emperor gave a passionate speech. After a three-minute silence for the fallen, the banquet began. However, the Emperor seemed to be in poor health, he started coughing after the speech. The second and third princes were by his side, especially the third prince, who was incredibly humble. Upon seeing Long Yi, he did not glare as he had in the past, but offered a very calm smile, and nodded to Long Yi as a sign of respect. Naturally, Long Yi couldn’t be outdone in etiquette and returned the knightly salute.

Could it be that the little one has decided to reform and turn over a new leaf?

That’s impossible, right?

Long Yi didn’t believe it. In Long Yi’s mind, a villain remained a villain. Even if they seemed to turn over a new leaf for a while, it was nothing more than a facade. It was not that they changed, they just hadn’t found the right time. Especially, the assassination attempt that still had not reached a conclusion, Long Yi didn’t believe the third prince had nothing to do with it.

The third prince appeared humble, and the girl behind him appeared even more so.

The head of the Butterfly Society, who had previously tried to embarrass Long Yi and Ai Lin, ended up embarrassing herself instead. Now, she obediently stood behind the third prince. She saluted Long Yi at a distance, appearing as if she wasn’t the same person who had insulted Long Yi before.

"No good, her acting skills are still too rough, just look at the fire in her eyes. She needs to portray more sincerity," Long Yi remarked in a low voice to Ai Lin, who was by his side.

Ai Lin simply chuckled, without saying anything. She had long stopped caring about Pella’s antics.
