The Black Serpent Golem ran for a while and rolled into a bush. It then stuck half of its head out to look behind it, and only relaxed when it was sure that there were no pursuers behind it. Its clay face actually showed a human-like expression, and it even patted its chest.
Unfortunately, it was too early for it to be happy. Just when it thought that it was out of danger, it heard a voice that scared it out of its wits. "Hey, it's you guys playing tricks behind the scenes again."
The golem jumped out of the thicket like a frightened rabbit. Its first reaction was to run, but when it lifted its feet, it couldn't move them. When it looked down, it found that its lower body had been frozen into a block of ice.
"Sorry, I didn't want to use this trick, but you don't seem to like chatting," said the golem.
A look of horror appeared on the golem's face. When did this ice magic cast by Lin Li? It couldn't feel it at all. Although it was only a golem and couldn't feel the cold like humans, it was still very sensitive to magic fluctuations. However, it didn't notice anything unusual until its feet were frozen.
It was the first time the golem had encountered such a situation. It was obviously panicking. It only remembered to turn around to look at the attacker when it fell to the ground.
In the end, it caught a glimpse of the eye-catching golden staff at a glance.
The golem's heart sank. It remembered who this guy was. He was one of the twenty participants in the game by the lake that night. His performance in the game wasn't that eye-catching, but the golem remembered what the fox masked man said about him and wisely gave up on the spell it was secretly brewing.
Luo Bu raised his eyebrows. "Hmm? Looks like you're much smarter than I thought. That's good. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to communicate with you normally. "
The Black Serpent Golem immediately stopped struggling upon hearing that. It lay on the ground with its mouth wide open with a blank expression on its face.
Archmage didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Isn't it too late to play dumb now?"
The Black Serpent Golem rolled its eyes and was about to continue acting shamelessly, but the next moment, it heard the guy opposite it say calmly, "It seems that you haven't realized your current situation. If you still refuse to cooperate, I'll have no choice but to send you to the Magic Association. Tsk, tsk. An intelligent golem is likely to have the secret of life hidden in it. I don't think any mage can resist this temptation. When that time comes, many people will definitely want to study you. So, what do you think will happen to you?"
The Black Serpent's expression changed drastically as he trembled. He hurriedly pointed at his mouth and spat out a fist-sized clump of soil.
Luo Bu picked up the lump of soil and glanced at it. "Sound transmission magic device? Hmm, if it's complete, it should be made up of two parts. One part is used to make sounds, and the other part is used to pass messages. That part seems to be in your master's hands, so that day at the lake, you guys relied on this magic device to play tricks? "
The Black Serpent Golem nodded, then pointed at its chest and right hand, revealing a pleading expression.
Only then did Archmage notice that there was a long scar on its chest that extended from its neck to its belly button. Its right arm seemed to be made of a different material from its body. It looked like it was added later.
Luo Bu frowned. "Have you ever been captured by anyone before? Because of them, you lost your ability to speak, and your chest was cut open, and one of your arms was cut off?"
The golem made a sobbing gesture. Unfortunately, its biological structure made it impossible for tears to flow out of its eyes.
If it were Lolo standing here right now, she would have let it go after hearing its tragic experience. Unfortunately, the person it met tonight was the future supreme magus, Your Honor.
Rob waited until it was almost done crying. "I don't care if you're lying or not. Since you know what will happen to you if you're caught, you should cooperate with me if you don't want to be cut open again for research. My request is actually very simple. As long as you bring me to your master, not only will I let you go, but I'll also help you keep your secret."
After a pause, Your Honor, the future supreme magus, added, "Don't worry. I mean no harm to your master. I just have a few questions to ask him."
The golem seemed to have realized that sympathy would not work on Rhode, so it put away the pitiful expression on its face and fell into silence. Archmage was not in a hurry. He stood by the side and waited for its choice.
If it were an ordinary golem, it would not have the option to betray its master because it would only execute its master's orders mechanically. It did not have any thoughts and had no fear of death. Threats and temptations would not work on it.
However, the golem in front of him was different.
It had considerable intelligence, which gave it the right to think independently and become a unique life form. At the same time, it also gave it the possibility of betrayal. Under the threat of death and being captured for research, it was possible for it to do things that were not in the interests of its master.
However, this was not an easy choice for it. The golem had a conflicted expression on its face. After a long internal struggle, it finally chose to listen to someone's suggestion. It nodded and agreed to bring him to its master.
Luo Bu perked up. The situation this time was different from that night by the lake. He did not know what method the other party had used to monitor everyone in the game, so it would have been useless even if he had caught the golem that night. The other party could have easily left before the golem turned on him.
However, tonight was a completely different situation. Archmage did not think that the monitoring method could be used continuously, and the monitoring range could not cover the entire campus. In other words, there was a great possibility that the golem did not know what happened here.
It was obvious that he despised Lolo. He subconsciously did not think that the golem would encounter any danger tonight, so he did not prepare as many backup plans as he did the other day.
So, Archmage knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come. Tonight, he deliberately acted indifferent to Lolo's abnormal state. In addition to letting Gezi go to bed early, he also wanted to numb his opponent. After Fatso's roommate fell asleep, Rob began the operation tonight.
Recently, the future supreme magus Your Honor was not in a good mood. Ever since he entered Siames, Rob could clearly feel that he was being led by the nose, but he could not do anything about it.
The future supreme magus Your Honor could not remember how long it had been since he felt this passive.
Apart from the years when he was at the Royal College of Magic and Magic, that old fox, Demain, had brought him this kind of pressure. This was the first time he had experienced this kind of feeling from someone else. The feeling of knowing that someone was right next to you but could not catch him no matter how hard you tried was terrible.
