Chapter 182: Construction Guardian

Rhodes did not agree to the girl's request in the end. Although the other party was indeed very sincere, Rhodes just felt something was wrong, especially from the "wonderful premonition" that gave him a very familiarity. If it could be said to be an illusion once or twice, almost every time the girl had to make any movements and expressions, Rhodes could predict what the other party wanted to do in advance. This feeling was obviously too weird for Rhodes. In fact, this was also normal, for those who were very familiar with each other,

For example, good friends, relatives, and lovers can detect their next thoughts from the other person's expression or movement. This is normal, because they have been together for a long time, so they have such a tacit understanding. However, Rhode has never tried to have this feeling in strangers, which makes him extremely uncomfortable. So to be on the safe side, Rhode finally refused the girl's request, and then turned around and quickly pulled Anne away, without even giving them any more opportunities and time.

"What a strange person."

It was not until the two of them disappeared at the end of the dim passage that the girl spoke again, and the smile on her face did not change at all, as if the rejection was not her at all.

"What do you think he is worried about? Teacher Armond?"

"I can't see it."

The old man shook his head, his face as deep as water, and his expression calmly looked around.

"Maybe he is worried about something, or maybe he is feeling troublesome."

"I don't think so."

The girl chuckled and shook her head, stretched out a finger to press her chin, and narrowed her eyes slightly. After a while, she suddenly spoke.

"He knows me very well."

"Dian... Miss?"

The old man was a little surprised when he heard the girl's words. He opened his eyes wide and wanted to say something, but at this moment, the girl waved her hand and signaled him not to say anything.

"I can see that he is indeed very familiar with me, and I have the same feeling when talking to him before. Although I have heard his story from many people, it is the first time I have met him. But his reaction always makes me feel that he seems to be my old friend... It's amazing, isn't it? I've never encountered such a thing before... I think I'm really right this time..."

Speaking of this, the girl pondered for a moment.

"What do you think? Teacher Armond?"

"I want me to say that the feeling this young man gives me is a little different from what I hear."

Hearing the girl's inquiry, the old man restrained his expression and replied with a slightly serious expression.

"Before I saw him, I thought this young man should be a very confident, but a bit arrogant guy... But now it seems that maybe he has not shown such a side in front of us, maybe he thinks there is no need to show such side in front of us... But I agree with your opinion, Miss, I don't think they are taking risks, otherwise they can't be so anxious. And for ordinary adventurers, they are not very willing to refuse our small request, not to mention that according to the information we have, this young man is not like that kind of person."

"So I don't understand why he turned us down."

Finally, the old man spread his hands, frowned and spoke.

The girl smiled and said nothing. After a moment, she suddenly spoke.

"Teacher Armond, have you heard of the colorful stone?"

"this…………"

"It is a very beautiful gem. When viewed from different angles under the sun, you will find that it emits completely different colors. The same stone will change due to the different angles and lights. This is the most wonderful place. I feel more and more that this is an interesting person. He has a lot of mystery... Well, this really excites me."

Speaking of this, the girl couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick her lips. The old man who saw this scene sighed helplessly, and then he shook his head.

"So Miss, what are you going to do?"

"Although quiet appreciation is also a kind of etiquette, I would rather master it myself, because only in this way can I fully appreciate its brilliance."

Speaking of this, the girl raised her eyebrows, her mouth slightly raised, and a hint of unquestionable smile appeared.

With this action, behind the girl, the outline of six light wings suddenly flashed through the empty air. The light they brought flashed through the hall, but it made the originally dirty and gloomy space much brighter and sacred.

"I heard that there are many interesting things here. Teacher Armond, can you show it to me?"

Faced with the girl's request, the old man shook his head helplessly. Based on his understanding of his students, he knew very well that this was a girl's old problem again, because the most common saying she said was that only the glory that could still bloom under the pressure of darkness is the most dazzling beauty.

So he didn't say anything else, but shook his head, then raised the plain wooden stick in his hand.

In just a moment, the wooden stick that looked extremely simple retreated from its appearance, and it was pitch black and shining, with golden silk wrapped around it, and the staff dotted with gems emitted dazzling magical glory. Then, the old man whispered a few words, and then he placed the staff on the ground.

It's plain, without a trace of dust.

But when the light flashed, the figures of the two had completely disappeared.

Rhodes slowed down.

He turned around in confusion and glanced behind him. Just now, his heart suddenly beat, as if he had sensed something, but his heart did not beating faster and faster, which meant that it should not be a danger. On the contrary, his heartbeat began to gradually become stable—as if something he had been expecting had finally come.

What kind of mess is this?

Rhode shook his head. Since he met those two people, he felt a little treacherous and didn't know why. But now he no longer thought about such a problem. After running for such a long time, both him and Anne were a little tired. Rhode began to slowly decrease his physical strength (after all, there was no such thing in the game). Although Anne had no physical strength problems, she couldn't keep up with this long-term rhythm. So before she was about to arrive at her destination, Rhode had decided to take a break and then solve the next problem in a complete state.

And at this moment, a few low and roaring sounds came from his ears.

Hearing this voice, Rhode stopped without hesitation, then he quickly made a gesture and ordered Anne to stop. Then he pulled out his sword and looked around with a gloomy face.

Seeing Rhode's gesture, Anne also stopped quickly. She picked up the shield and protected Rhode's back, while looking around.

This is a relatively wide space, and the cold and dark walls look no different from before. The only difference is that the deeper you go, you will find that there are some things like metal pipes embedded in the wall. The pipes are more than one meter wide. Anne once knocked curiously, and it seemed empty and nothing inside. And here it is the same. Two thick metal pipes embedded in the walls around them. Four black, deep, spider web exits are scattered in four corners. When you look at them, it looks quite like a pipe of groundwater. However, Rhode did not relax his vigilance. He thought, stared at the black hole in front of him and posed a sword force.

And at this moment, accompanied by a low sound, four brass-colored balls suddenly rolled out of the pipe, and they fell heavily to the ground, colliding with the hard bluestone slabs, making a loud sound.

"Notice!"

Rhode raised his sword, his expression becoming more serious. He stared at the metal ball with caution and carefulness, and while whispering to Anne.

"Remember what I told you before, don't fight against this thing, it's very powerful. Pay attention to protecting yourself, attacking its head, and be careful of the lower part of it. Do you understand?"

"Yes, leader."

Hearing Rhode's warning, Anne nodded, and at this moment, the four balls that rolled out of the pipe suddenly changed a new thing. They rolled and then suddenly bounced up.

"Wow!"

Seeing this scene in front of him, even Anne couldn't help but scream in surprise.

Because at this moment, the upper half of the metal sphere suddenly "divided", and then a human figure made of metal frame appeared from it. It stretched out its hands, the sharp blade on it shone, and the dark eye hole was leaping with magical brilliance. The body built from the metal bracket looked thin and a little weak, but the complex magic runes above obviously had different opinions on this.

They are the guardians of this ruin.

"Warning, unidentified intruders were detected and asked to leave, otherwise they will be completely eliminated."

"Warning, this is the central core area and no entry is allowed without permission."

The balls of the lower body of the metal structure moved slowly, leading them forward, surrounding Rhode and Anne, and repeated a warning that was stable and without any threat. However, no one thought this was a joke. After all, no one would feel good if anyone was surrounded by four lifeless objects like this.

But for Rhodes, he has more important goals.

Faced with the protection of the four construction guardians, he was not nervous. The average strength of the four construction guardians was level 15, and he was level 18 now. One-on-one was very easy, and one-on-four was not troublesome. However, he was not concerned about these things. On the contrary, Rhodes turned his attention to the red gems embedded in the center of the construction guardian's body and emitting dim light.

If you can get all four artificial soul gems, it means that the elves under your hands can evolve four times.

This is the best trophy for Rhodes. Compared to these, all the other trophys in the ruins are slags.

"Be careful, don't hit the gems in the middle of their bodies."

After taking a deep breath, Rhode did not forget to remind Anne of this - if the girl hit her and smashed one, then Rhode would really be in tears.

And at this moment, the construction guardian finally launched an attack on them.
