Rob recalled a time when he went hunting in the forest with his grandfather. His grandfather used to be Ryan's most outstanding hunter. He told little Rob, who was observing a herd of elk with bated breath, that when you're about to catch your prey, don't be careless and don't lose your vigilance. Don't forget that in this forest, you're both the hunter and the prey. An outstanding hunter can not only ensure the harvest of each hunt, but more importantly, protect your own safety.
Therefore, every time grandpa went hunting, he would bring some self-made gadgets and place them not far behind him. These gadgets didn't have any offensive power, and their only function was to make a loud noise when an animal stepped on them.
However, many in the same profession couldn't understand grandpa's way of doing things. Reality also proved that most of the time, these gadgets were just false alarms. For example, if a hare was accidentally stepped on, the loud noise would scare away the prey within reach. However, the few alarms saved grandpa's life, and grandpa became the hunter who encountered the least danger.
Rob knew that the function of this secret room was similar to grandpa's gadgets. Once someone investigated Siamus's secret, they would discover this place as they delved deeper into the investigation. When this place was exposed, the owner of the house would receive an alarm. Therefore, the existence of this place was like an additional safety warning.
The Archmage sighed. He knew that it would be difficult for him to gain anything tonight, but the good news was that the Black Se golem was still in his hands. Although the other party would definitely be alerted after this incident, even if the crafty golem didn't play any tricks and obediently cooperated with him, he still wouldn't be able to capture its owner.
Your Honor, the future supreme magus, could only hope that the other party left in a hurry and missed some important clues. Unfortunately, with the usual cautiousness of the golem's owner, this was almost impossible.
In addition, Luo Bu was actually a little strange. Ever since he entered the building, the Black Serpent Golem he had left outside had been very quiet, and the positioning marker hadn't moved at all. No matter how he looked at it, this silence was a little unusual.
There was no way that the golem didn't know the true purpose of this secret room. There was only a non-offensive magic array here, which posed no threat to the Archmage at all. In other words, the Black Se golem could only trap him for a moment at most.
Simply stalling for time was meaningless because the Black Se golem had no chance of escaping. Not only was it frozen, it was also marked with a magic marker. When Rob left this place, it wouldn't meet a good end.
And from the brief contact between Archmage and the golem, the Black Se golem didn't seem like a loyal servant who would disregard his own safety to inform his master.
It took Rob less than seven minutes to break the magic array until he walked out of the secret room. Compared to the one he encountered by the lake, the magic array in the secret room was far more complex and exquisite. The entire magic array only covered that secret room. Moreover, with his previous experience, Rob could only break it faster.
When he walked out of the secret room and looked back, the fireplace, bookcase, rattan chair, and the old man reading books had all disappeared. All that was left was a childish ghost face scrawled on the wall, as if mocking the visitor for wasting his time. Archmage took a deep breath. He had to admit that the golem had an extraordinary talent in taunting and attracting hatred.
The feeling of looking at the answer right before his eyes only to find a blank piece of paper was terrible. Rob soon realized that the worst was yet to come.
When he walked out of the house, he found that the Black Se golem had escaped!
Or to be more accurate, a part of the golem's body had escaped. The frozen body was still on the ground, but the Black Serpent Golem's head was nowhere to be seen.
Rob took one look and knew that he had been fooled by the cunning golem again. Although golems had many human features, they were actually very different from humans.
They didn't have human internal organs. Instead, they had all kinds of spare parts and no pain nerves, which allowed them to perform bravely on the battlefield. Even if they lost an arm or a leg, they could still continue to fight. The body was more like a tool or a weapon to them.
However, the golem didn't have a weak point. The only weak point of their body was their core. Once the core was destroyed, it was equivalent to the destruction of the golem.
Strictly speaking, the golem's core was also a magic device. It provided kinetic energy for the golem's body and could carry out some simple commands. It was similar to the human heart and brain. As long as the core was not damaged, it wouldn't matter even if the other parts were severely damaged. This was the biggest difference between golems and humans.
When the Black Se golem pretended to be pitiful in front of Archmage, it deliberately showed the long scar on its chest, which made Rob mistakenly think that its core was in its chest. In fact, its core was in its head.
Therefore, Rob's freezing of its body didn't work at all. The golem's head had sneaked away when Archmage was trapped in the secret chamber. Rob's magic mark was also planted on its body, but it didn't work either.
Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, would never have dreamed that one day he would be suppressed by a golem. The opportunity that he had seized with great difficulty disappeared in a flash. Looking at the frozen headless golem on the ground, Archmage's expression couldn't be more interesting.
However, Rob didn't feel discouraged because of this. At this moment, Archmage felt that he had met his match.
After escaping from the Royal College of Magic and Magic, Rob's life had been quite leisurely. He didn't encounter too much trouble along the way. Apart from the battle with the Orc Butcher, he basically didn't use his full strength. This was also related to his opponents being too weak. As time went by, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor also became a lot more lazy.
However, his original plan was to go back to Ryan to do some small business, so Rob didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this kind of life. Until he met Lolo. Archmage originally thought that what happened to the girl's parents was only a grudge between nobles. Later, with the emergence of the Heresy Court and the Saint Roland Academy of Magic, things began to become complicated.
The prophecy that the two fairies gave him before they parted that night, Rob didn't read too much into it, but he wouldn't completely ignore it either. After all, the fairies were famous for their prophecies. It was extremely difficult to pick up any water from the river of fate.
Unfortunately, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor couldn't get much information from the prophecy. Apart from knowing that what happened to the Bretton Family wasn't simple, the last half of the prophecy was "beware of the Underworld Tree". According to the fairies' words, a mysterious existence in the Saint Roland Academy of Magic was likely to be on a different path from them.
