Chapter 104 Space Jade
"Da—Da—Da—"
Blood dripped down the sunken bridge of his nose onto the wooden board.
The wolf head badge was slowly pulled away, its sharp edges hooking into the flesh and blood.
Arwen stood up, picked up a corner of his cloak with his left hand, wiped the wolf head badge on his right hand clean, and put it into the inner lining.
With Sevia dead, all the main culprits who attacked Kaer Mohammed were now dead.
The mist seeped into the car through the gaps in the curtains, and Alwin's body twisted and disappeared.
【Illusory Mist Invisibility】.
Step out of the carriage.
Under the cover of night, a thick fog enveloped the scene, and screams and the frantic sound of horses' hooves echoed continuously, creating an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
The twenty Grafiacan knights guarding the Marquis's carriage had all fallen to the ground, lifeless.
He was responsible for killing many of them.
Otherwise, the golem controlled by Atamon's resentment wouldn't have been able to get here so easily.
After all, not every golem is made by a witcher.
Arwen surveyed the surroundings, and thanks to the effects of the [Cat] potion, he could clearly see several crimson figures rapidly moving through the Grafiakan camp.
The remaining Grafiacan knights huddled together, barely managing to withstand the golem's attacks.
As for the knights' squires, they were not so lucky.
Each attack was accompanied by screams and carnage.
Dismembered bodies mixed with blood were scattered everywhere.
After witnessing their companions fall one by one, the fear of death overwhelmed their defenses, and they scattered like headless flies, becoming victims of the golem.
Despite the chaotic scene, Alwin remained calm, as if he had expected it all along.
After learning about the relationship between Atamon and Seville from Holt, he was already on guard.
Before the plan began, Lady Frey kept a close eye on the Knights of the Marquis of Shangxing.
He and Holt lay in wait on the only route from the royal domain to Ravenhill.
Thanks to the Witcher's powerful tracking ability, the two successfully found the route taken by the Knights of Grafiakan.
It was a knightly order of about eight hundred men.
This number is extraordinary in the world; it's enough to conquer most independent city-states.
But it differs from the knightly order I had imagined.
Those who can truly be called knights are those who walk at the front of the procession, are equipped with warhorses and fine standard plate armor.
A maximum of two hundred people.
The others were foot knight squires, composed of well-trained spearmen or crossbowmen.
It actually contains a lot of water.
However, if the entire order were composed of the previous two hundred men, consisting of eighty genuine knights, they would be considered a major force in the entire Kingdom of Cordwin.
After a slight internal monologue, Alwin still discovered something interesting behind the Knights of Grafiakan.
It is a team of eighty people.
Their plate armor was only slightly inferior to that of the cavalry, and their steps were extremely stiff, leaving deep footprints in the mud with every step.
Deathly energy swirled around them, so dense that each one was comparable to a demon spirit.
Even though they were a hundred meters apart, the wolf head badges on their chests still vibrated violently.
Golems created from human soldiers.
With this discovery, Alwin slightly modified his plans.
Atamon, as the dean of the magic academy, has a very arrogant personality.
Aside from visiting Seville, he devoted himself to research all day.
Over the years, he has only taken on a few students as his assistants.
This information came from Ms. Frey.
But the presence of another wizard always brings an additional risk.
So Arwin sent the disabled Holt to Adkalay, the royal domain, which was also the capital of Cordwin.
His presence at the Royal Court successfully diverted some of Atamon's attention, prompting him to send his assistant to follow up.
Artamon, relying on the Witcher Golem and his greed for Alzur's legacy, came alone.
Next, taking advantage of the foggy weather and the magic-blocking gold, they ambushed Atamon.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Arwen used [Phantom Mist Invisibility] to sneak behind the Knights of Grafiacan.
He wants to remove the mental restraints on these golems, release their resentment, and create chaos.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived, the golems went berserk due to the resentment of Atamon's death.
Alwin raised his right hand, turned his palm over, and a ring appeared in his hand.
The ring is made of bronze and set with pale silver chalcedony.
Upon closer inspection, the ring contained extremely concentrated magic power, solidified like a silver-white gemstone.
Around this silver magic, countless tiny magic threads were wrapped around it, extending outwards like a spider web.
The ultimate goal of these threads is to target those rampaging golems.
Sure enough, the ring had the ability to control golems.
He noticed something amiss during his battle with Atamon.
Besides the staff in his right hand, the ring on his left hand was also constantly emitting magic.
Both magical items share the same function: manipulating golems.
The lurking Vesemir also discovered this.
After severing Atamon's left hand, he very naturally kicked the severed arm into the mist.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Alwin decisively followed in the fog and pocketed the severed arm.
But this effect wasn't what he was most looking forward to.
With his eyes slightly lowered, he focused his mental energy on the silver chalcedony on the bronze ring.
This substance was described in the book "Common Low-Level Magic of the Four Elements" that Tissaya gave him.
Magic is constantly flowing in the world, but only the magic in a few magical minerals is solidified.
This includes the silver chalcedony, also known as space jade.
Once crafted into a magical item, it serves as a storage container and is extremely rare.
Even renowned wizards rarely possess such treasures.
However, once wizards learn the portal technique, the usefulness of this spatial chalcedony diminishes considerably.
After all, which wizard doesn't have their own magic tower?
Only a golem master like Atamon, who needs to quickly release his golems anytime and anywhere, would have this need.
With his mental energy absorbed into it, the amplification from [Dual Soul] and [Cerberus Mutant] successfully erased Atamon's mental imprint.
Several parchment books, a silver box, and a spare set of purple wizard robes floated in the void.
My mind swept over the cover of the parchment book.
"Experimental Records", "Arzur Magic Research", "Witcher Body Structure", "Automatic Control Practice Records of Human Golems".
With a thought, the ring shimmered with silver light.
The book "Practical Record of Automated Control of Human Body Statue" is now in my hands.
Alwin didn't look closely; he didn't have much time left.
Fortunately, Atamon is a very rigorous academic person and prepared the table of contents for this book.
Fingers traced afterimages on the thick parchment, turning to the page on controlling the golem.
It consists of only a few lines, concise and to the point.
You can use your mental energy to send a signal through the magic threads in the ring.
Arwen extended his mental energy toward the nearest golem.
"call!"
With a whooshing sound, a golem burst out of the mist and came to Arwen's side.
The breastplate bearing the coat of arms of Grafiacan was covered in bloodstains, with twitching blood clots remaining.
After giving the order, the golem entered the carriage and punched Sevia in the face, splattering blood all over the carriage.
Then use the space to collect the corpse of the golem that died on the ground.
Anyone who came would only see that Sevia was killed by the golem with a single punch.
It's really useful.
Alvin retrieved the "Practical Record of Automated Control of Human Golems," gripped the ring tightly in his right hand, and sighed inwardly.
At the same time, his ears twitched, and he heard a faint roar.
"Shieldbearers! Hold the line!"
Alwin looked in that direction, his cat-like eyes silent.
Atamon, you've given me such a generous gift; now, let your golem add fuel to the fire.
