Chapter 35: Ruins, Iron Golem, and a Flash of Memory

As always, Lisa was wearing the standard emerald green slim ranger uniform, with a small whip and short dagger at her waist and a short bow on her back.

Olenna put on armor for the first time in a long time, but it was not really armor, but at most a breastplate and a sword guard, and the rest was just tight cloth.

As a dueling swordsman who uses a swift sword, agility is the first priority.

As for Ellie, she just put on a witch hat and held a magic wand in her hand.

The most exaggerated one is Rand, who wields two-handed large shields. That’s it.

Although Rand did not think that the large shield made of steel and wood could block the attack of the steel golem that was as tall as a two-story building, over the past period of time, the large shield, like a turtle shell, has become Rand's habit.

Under the leadership of Lisa, the ruins were soon reached.

Seeing it with his own eyes, Rand finally confirmed that this was the location of the first event of the Deep Moon game.

A ruin full of traps and treasures.

However, the prerequisite for all this is to kill the iron golem at the entrance of the ruins.

Ellie took out the treasure map excitedly. The treasure map described in detail the surrounding environment and conditions of the ruins. After comparing it back and forth, she confirmed that this was the location.

All of a sudden, all the worries in her heart disappeared. She was still worried that Rand had deceived her, or that this was not the place described in the treasure map.

I feel that all the hardships I have endured during this period are worth it.

It’s really sad to think about it.

All that's left to do now is to take down the Iron Golem and activate Rand's ingeniously creative plan!

In fact, Ellie really wanted to show Rand's genius plan to her sister, or recruit Rand as her sister's staff, but unfortunately it seems unlikely now.

It seems that Rand has made up his mind to develop a base, and she even feels that Rand wants to recruit her and Olenna.

But just collaboration is nice too.

When she got close enough, Ellie activated the mechanical gem on the pendant.

The iron golem that had been patrolling the wilderness without sleep or rest suddenly stopped.

The glowing energy core suddenly dimmed, and the Iron Golem fell to the ground due to the loss of energy support.

Lisa bent her bow and drew her arrow, which was made of an unknown substance and shot accurately into the gap in the armor of the huge iron golem.

"It doesn't seem to work." Lisa said, "This is a top alchemical product from the last era. If we can't find a suitable method, maybe only dragon breath can forcibly destroy it."

Rand stared at the fallen iron golem and fell into deep thought. He wondered if the thermal expansion and contraction method would work, or if he couldn't kill it, he could just dig a hole and bury it.

But now it all depends on Ellie, who said before that she has a way to deal with the Iron Golem.

Ellie said softly, "The outer skin of the Iron Golem is not made of steel, but some kind of alchemical metal. I have mastered the formula of the alchemical potion that can dissolve this alchemical metal."

Rand suddenly felt uneasy. A sentence like this would probably lead to a series of material-collecting tasks like in a game.

As expected, Ellie said, "But there is still one material missing."

"Very rare?" Rand, who was walking at the front of the team, looked back when he heard Ellie's words.

"It's OK." Ellie explained shyly, "In fact, there is only one kind that is really missing. Originally, it required blood essence, but now this kind of ore is almost impossible to find. Fortunately, it can now be replaced by the ruby ​​orb of the God of Struggle."

After about five breaths, the Iron Golem gradually began to restart.

But at this time, Rand and his group had already hidden far away.

Lisa's golden eyes watched the activated Iron Golem from afar. There was no sign of it running wild, and it continued to patrol along its original route.

When he looked away, he heard Rand ask, "Is it a rose-red bead that's about the same size as an eyeball and glows at night?"

Ellie was not surprised by Rand's question. She nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that you have also encountered that kind of monster. We have also collected intelligence about the God of Struggle before, and they do have traces of activities in the nearby area."

After saying that, Ellie looked at Rand with hope: "Did you keep it? The bead."

Rand shook his head. "That's a pagan tool! I gave it to the Mother Goddess."

Ellie's excitement suddenly turned into disappointment: "It seems that we have to find a way to hunt down the followers of the God of Struggle."

But there is no need to rush. Everything has not started yet, and it will take time to wait for the White King's reply. In this era, most information transmission depends on manpower.

The communication method between Ellie and the White King was better, but they only used magic carrier pigeons, and it still took time to deliver the message.

And Rand was not ready yet. The hideout was arranging people to build houses and taverns as soon as possible.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If the White King is really willing to personally help promote the event as Ellie said, then the flow of adventurers may be much higher than originally expected.

In order to avoid missing out on the money he could have earned, Rand planned to personally supervise the construction when he returned.

As for Ellie's problem, Rand was not worried. With a clear target instead of just a name, and knowing the place of origin, the problem of the potion could be easily solved.

Rand knew that there was a hidden den of the God of Struggle in the Crescent Territory. He learned this information from the Mother Goddess when he submitted the Ruby Orb to her last time to make Blessing 2 permanent.

But since eliminating the Baron was a higher priority, he kept putting it off.

Now is the perfect time to start preparing to launch the pagan destruction plan! But he doesn't know where the hidden God of Struggle sect's hideout is. They don't seem to need to eat or trade, and they stay in the hideout all the time, so he can't find any clues at all.

But it's okay! At this time, all you need to do is ask the almighty Lisa for help.

"You need my help to find the hideout of the God of Struggle, right?" Lisa blinked, then said playfully, "This is a very difficult task!"

Rand rolled his eyes, knowing that this girl was going to make trouble again.

But there was no other way. Now I had to ask for help, so I could only compromise and say, "I'm willing to do anything, please help me!"

Lysa blinked again. Although she felt that Rand's words were not meant literally, she didn't say anything more since he was so understanding. She prepared to go back and rest before setting off.

She hadn't had enough of the experience of being a chair, but she still wanted to know if Rand had any new ideas for torture.

"So do you have any new ideas?" asked Lisa.

These words were as scary as a wife adding wolfberries to the cup after marriage, but Rand was not afraid at this moment!

As a person with a modern soul and rich theoretical experience, how could I lose to someone in the game in terms of gameplay!

Absolutely not!
