Even the actual controller of the auction house doesn't know about this place.

Long before he became one of the shareholders of the auction house and chose this as his daily travel destination, he had already sent people to secretly build a passage leading to another location next to this secret passage!

That is a place that can only be opened by his breath and magic!

Leonard almost bumped into the secret door and stumbled to the cold and dirty ground.

This is a remote intersection of the vast sewer system of King Karl City, and the stench of sewage is overwhelming.

This is the only place that even sewer adventurers who like to hunt for treasures will not visit.

Without any pause, he rolled and crawled towards an inconspicuous, dirt-covered metal base in the corner.

The base was half embedded in the stone wall, and the dim Bellucci falcon family crest was etched on it.

"Stop them! Activate! Guardians!"

He roared, and pressed his fat fingers hard on the gem inlay of Hawkeye. At the same time, he took out a purple-black token engraved with runes from his arms and crushed it!

Buzz——!

A harsh sound of metal friction was heard and the ground shook violently!

The inconspicuous metal base suddenly cracked, and accompanied by the gushing of steam and the screaming of the magic core, a huge monster rose from the ground!

This is a three-meter-tall metal golem, cast entirely from some dark alloy, with complex magic circuits embedded in its joints, and its eyes are two balls of burning, emotionless, dark green soul fire.

Its heavy body almost filled the narrow passage, and its thick metal arms ended in a huge chain hammer that gleamed with cold light.

The legendary energy fluctuations spread out like a physical shock wave, causing the sewage at the top of the sewer to drip like rain.

[Guardian Golem of the Bellucci Family (Degraded Activation State)]

Type: Construct

Rank: Legendary- (Energy Core matching rate is less than 65%, some functions are missing)

Status: Forced Activation (Guardian Command: Kill Marked Target - Monica Bellucci)

Leonard hid behind the shadow of the golem's huge body, his face still showing fear, but he forced out a twisted smile full of malice.

He pointed at Monica and screamed, "Kill her! Tear apart this traitor and scourge of this family! The glory of Bellucci does not need to be tarnished by a useless appraiser like you!"

"You're just like your father, only able to hold onto useless knowledge! On this continent, there's only power! Only by becoming a truly powerful force can your family become even stronger!

"You are worms who can only fiddle with rings and book pages. You deserve to be eliminated and enslaved!"

The golem's dark green eyes instantly locked onto Monica, and the huge chain hammer slammed down with a shriek that tore through the air, carrying a force that was enough to shatter the city walls!

The terrifying pressure is enough to make ordinary high-level professionals lose their minds.

However, there was no fear in Monica's eyes, only an icicle-like calmness.

She didn't even choose to dodge the blow that was enough to smash her into pieces. Instead, she faced the destructive wind pressure and advanced instead of retreating!

"Identification: Deconstruction Core."

She spat out cold words and lightly touched the [Ring of Truth (IX)] between her left fingers with her fingertips.

Buzz!

An invisible ripple that seemed to be able to penetrate all illusions spread out from the ring, instantly sweeping across the falling giant hammer and the huge body of the golem.

The violently falling chain hammer seemed to fall into an invisible quagmire the moment it touched the ripples. Its speed suddenly slowed down, and there was a hint of uncoordinated lag in the violent magic power!

It's this flaw of less than 0.1 second!

Monica's figure was like a disembodied ghost, sliding along the edge of the huge hammer at the critical moment!

As the daughter of the former head of the family, she should have been the first in line of succession.

How could Monica not recognize the golem in front of her!

This is a legendary golem that can only be driven by the order of the patriarch. Even true legendary masters would not dare to test the power of a legendary golem in its prime!

Her target was the core driving matrix on the golem's chest that was madly absorbing the earth's magic power and emitting a dazzling light!

"Suppress!"

[Ring of Truth] The ancient inscription on the surface, "Truth has nothing to do with strength, ignorance is also luck" suddenly lights up!

A deep and vast suction force, as if originating from the origin of the world's rules, suddenly erupted!

The violently running core drive matrix froze instantly!

The countless complex magic patterns that constitute the magic transmission path seem to be smoothed, folded, and gathered lightly by an invisible slender hand!

The huge legendary golem was like a giant beast with its spine pulled out. Its ongoing attack came to an abrupt halt, and its dazzling energy light quickly dimmed.

The huge metal body emitted a harsh metallic groan and an explosion of energy overload, and finally fell to the ground with a loud bang, completely losing all power, as if it had turned into a pile of heavy, cold, lifeless scrap metal.

Before its dark green eyes completely went out, a trace of confusion and confusion seemed to pass through them.

The whole process is as fast as lightning!

A legendary construct, even a degraded one, was forcibly "shut down" and suppressed in an instant by an appraiser using the power of knowledge!

Monica's face turned slightly pale. Forcibly suppressing the golem core, which was far beyond her own level, was a huge burden on both the ring and her. The wound on her waist began to bleed again due to the violent fluctuations of magic power.

But her hand holding the dagger remained as steady as a rock.

"No... Impossible!" The hideous smile on Leonard's face froze completely, turning into unbelievable horror.

He set up a golem outside the family despite opposition from family members, and took great pains to lure Monica here and forcibly activate his trump card, but it was shattered by Monica in one encounter?

This was beyond his entire understanding of the appraiser's abilities!

Even his brother, Monica's father, seems unable to do this!

Aren’t appraisers only capable of appraising useless items and props?

Fear instantly gripped his heart.

"Waste? Worm?" Monica's voice was colder than the sewage in the sewer. She approached Leonard, who was lying limp on the ground, step by step. "Father pursued the truth, but you, a venomous snake, replaced his medicine and he died on the altar.

"So you mean by power, using Bellucci's reputation and blood to fill the filthy purse strings of the Karl royal family? Trading with orcs and selling the lives of human frontline soldiers?

"Your power means being a dog for the royal family? Wagging your tail for the orcs?"

"What do you know!" Leonard screamed hysterically, floundering on the ground in embarrassment. "Without the royal family's support, Bellucci would have fallen long ago! I have the resources! I've given Shadow Guard unprecedented resources! I'm the one who led the family to glory..."

He looked at the cold expression on Monica's face. His frightened expression suddenly disappeared, and a smug smile appeared on his face: "My dear niece, you don't think you have already won!"
