The area of the ruins was very large, and the periphery was a mining area. Suhlen found a lot of railroad tracks and mining equipment, but they had all been abandoned. Suhlen and the others did not stay there and continued to move deeper into the ruins.
"What's this?" Suhlen suddenly saw a flash of metal on the ground next to him.
A gray dwarf next to him was very perceptive. He went up the wall and picked up the piece of metal from the rubble. The metal was a fragment of something unknown. Although it was damaged, there was no rust on the surface. The color was somewhat like gold, but the color was a little dim.
"This is arcanite, an alloy made in the era of the Arcane Empire. It can be used to replace adamantine. Of course, its effect is still not as good as adamantine, but its price is very low compared to adamantine, so it was widely used in many places in the Arcane Empire." Hathaway took a look and immediately identified the material of the metal.
"But this is because the ancient Arcanists were rich. Now this arcanite is traded at the Wizard Fair for 500 Kinnar per pound."
The piece of arcanite found by Suhlen was the size of a fist and weighed about two pounds. "We just came in and we already have such a harvest. It seems that this secret realm is going to be rich."
After passing through the ruins, everything around them was quickly displayed in front of them. This was a very large plaza. Behind the plaza was a dilapidated Adept Tower. The tower had been broken, and only a dozen meters high was left. The upper part was completely destroyed, and the square was full of broken walls.
There were still some passages near the plaza, and there were many buildings in the surroundings. However, most of these buildings had already collapsed, and only a few of them were still relatively intact. These relatively intact buildings were not simple. Unsurprisingly, there were traces of Arcane Spells here.
"Intruders detected!"
"Intruders detected!"
"Reserve energy activated! Defensive Magic-Powered Guards activated … "
A cold mechanical voice sounded.
Suddenly, a dull sound came from the wall in front of them, and then several tall shadows appeared. There were not many of them, only six of them, but their aura was quite amazing. The whole ground trembled slightly.
"What … What are these?" Several gray dwarves looked at the golems that came out and swallowed unconsciously.
"These are Puppet Golems from the era of the Arcane Empire!" Suhlen explained.
"Be careful, these guys aren't easy to deal with!"
Suhlen was very surprised by the technology of the Arcane Kingdom. After thousands of years, the Golem Puppets passed down from the era of the Arcane Kingdom could still move.
"Target locked!"
"Execute the attack order!"
After the golems locked onto Suhlen and the others, they picked up their weapons and charged at them. These golems were different from the steel golems they had seen in the ruins of the secret realm. They were yellowish-green in color and looked like they were made of bronze.
The six steel golems rushed up, and the dwarven defenders immediately raised their shields and rushed over.
"Clang!"
There was an ear-piercing sound of metal clashing, and the dwarf warrior's axe hit the leg of the steel golem and bounced off. Not a single mark was left on the golem's body.
"Be careful, attack their joints!"
Suhlen's figure flashed and rushed up. The Purple Dragon Halberd drew an arc and instantly hit the chest of a Puppet Golem. The chest of the Puppet Golem was directly pierced, and at the same time, a powerful force of thunder and lightning broke out in an instant, destroying the runic array in the Puppet Golem. The eyes of the three-meter-tall Puppet Golem flickered a few times and then dimmed.
A gray dwarf rushed up, but before he could attack, he was kicked out by the Puppet Golem. Fortunately, the dwarves were all wearing heavy armor. Although they looked a little embarrassed, in fact, their lives were not in danger. Although these steel golems were strong, they were naturally not enough to face Suhlen, a legendary strongman. After a while, the three Puppet Golems stopped moving.
Although it seemed easy for Suhlen to deal with these Puppet Golems, in fact, if ordinary adventurers encountered these Golems, they would be in big trouble. The alloy steel craftsmanship of the era of the Arcane Kingdom could not be damaged by ordinary weapons. In many cases, even if the weapons were scrapped, they might not be able to destroy the Golems.
If one had to find an adjective to summarize it, it would be to use cold weapons to dismantle a tank. Golems were very resistant to spells and could ignore most of the negative states. To deal with them, in addition to blocking them, they could only break them down.
"Stone to Mud!"
Hathaway's hand flashed, and then she gently pointed. The foot of another Puppet Golem that was attacking suddenly softened, and the originally hard rock turned into a muddy swamp. In a breath, the Puppet Golem sank into the swamp. Although the Puppet Golems were powerful, they had no place to borrow strength in the swamp and could only slowly descend.
If they had enough energy, they could use energy to get out of here. Unfortunately, after thousands of years, it was a miracle that these Golems could be activated, let alone have enough energy. Then Hathaway flashed a few more spells, and the remaining two Golems were all trapped.
The three Puppet Golems kept struggling in the swamp, but it was to no avail. After a while, these Golems should have run out of energy and were completely motionless.
"These Golems were brought back when we left. Many of the Steel Golems from the era of the Arcane Empire were lost in craftsmanship. I want to try and see if I can find the answer from them." Hathaway said after dealing with a few Golems.
"Well, when we go back, we'll fish them out." Suhlen nodded and said.
"Let's go. Let's see what's in this ruin!" Suhlen was still in a good mood after dealing with these Golems.
Suhlen had already felt that the ruins were shrouded in a strange energy. He didn't know what it was that the ancient arcanists had built, but it was still effective until now.
After entering the houses that were relatively well-preserved, they didn't find anything valuable. After thousands of years, very few things could be preserved in good condition. There were a few pieces of armor that seemed to be well-preserved, but when they were picked up, they were rusted beyond recognition. A gentle poke would leave a hole.
After coming out of these houses, Suhlen walked to the wizard tower next to him. In fact, he didn't have much hope. The wizard tower was even more damaged, and there were even fewer valuable things.
Walking into the broken wizard tower, Suhlen saw a large number of strange bottles and jars. The things inside had been completely decayed, and their original appearance could not be seen. He pushed open the small door next to him, and there was a laboratory behind the small door.
In the middle of the room, there was a test bench with a lot of books on the shelves next to it. There were also a lot of materials under it. Although these materials looked intact, they instantly turned into a cloud of dust with a gentle touch.
Some strange organs were sealed in some crystal vessels next to it. He didn't know what kind of creature they belonged to. These things had also completely lost their effectiveness due to the loss of magic power.
Although many things here were completely damaged, Suhlen still found some experiment logs. These experiment logs should be more important information, and they were recorded in a specially processed notebook.
"Arcane Calendar 1025, 12th of September, I found a special mineral in the underground mineral base in the north. When I first saw this mineral, I noticed that it was different. I swear, this is a brand new metal, and it also has other energy."
"Arcane calendar 1025, October 3rd, I extracted three kilograms of metal from a ton of ore. This is a silver-white metal. Although I don't know the characteristics of this metal, I think I'm going to be rich this time. Next year on the Arcane Voice, I'll be on the cover!"
.....
There was a missing part in the middle, as if it was erased by some force.
"Arcane calendar 1026, May 8th, my discovery really surprised the people of the Nine Ring Council. They recognized my discovery, but they were unwilling to continue the research. They also warned that this metal is very dangerous. Sh * t, these people are jealous of my research success and want me to give up. Then they will get the fruits of my labor. I will never let them succeed."
"Arcane calendar 1026, October 13th, this is really a great metal. It can accelerate the mutation of species. A ferocious bear can actually overturn a ground dragon after mutation. This is really a great discovery. If we use it to cultivate our warriors, we will easily gain a lot of combat power. "
"Year 1027 of the Arcana Calendar, 2nd of March, my first experiment failed. Although Bain's body had strengthened a lot, there were problems with his mind. He became manic and irritable, and his body after the mutation was not as perfect as I thought it would be. Well, I admit that it is very imperfect. "
"Arcane calendar 1027, April 7th, the experiment failed again. Bain's body also has problems. His body began to age rapidly and even deformed."
"Arcane calendar 1027, May 2nd, the Nine Ring Tower sent people to investigate. Fortunately, I was prepared in advance. They did not find out about my research. This group of stubborn old people should have been in their coffins long ago."
"Arcane calendar 1027, August 6th, why is this? I experimented on insects. Those insects successfully broke through the limit and became bigger and stronger, but why did it fail on humans?"
"Year 1027 of the Arcana Calendar, December 23rd. I'm a genius. I've succeeded. I've succeeded in making a slave strong. It won't be long before my experiment will make those people's jaws drop."
"Year 1028 of the Arcana Calendar, February 4th. My experiment seems to have succeeded. That slave has started to change. Today was really dangerous. There was actually a slave who wanted to escape. I killed that slave and made him into a specimen to scare the other slaves."
