What does the "Coal Golem" look like?

When he arrived at the Grand Arena, Roland Fang had a glimpse of the true face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Today's first set of duels has begun, and the next one will be the turn of "Shining Gold" and "Union Power", and the teams of both sides will gather in the players' rest area in advance, and after meeting, of course, they will inevitably look at each other and speculate on each other's strength.

Roland greeted Shabalin and pointed to the two behemoths behind him: "Can I get closer?" ”

Shabalin nodded briskly: "Okay, not only can you see, but you can also touch, my big Ivan and Big Peter are very well-behaved, but you have to be careful, both of them are sealed with fire elemental essence in their bodies, and their body temperature is very high, don't burn your hands." ”

"The Coal Golem is called 'Big Ivan'? What an interesting name...... "Roland approached the two large golems standing side by side, and looked closely, to the left was an iron golem, tall and burly, full of oppression, cast from more than 5,000 pounds of steel; On the right is a golem made of coal, similar in size to the Iron Golem, with shiny dark skin.

Coal is a fossil of an ancient plant, and it is reasonable to say that its texture is relatively crunchy, and its strength is not suitable for making golems, but after being magically treated, Big Ivan's body retains the characteristics of coal while greatly increasing its hardness, and is as strong as granite.

Golems are the epitome of alchemy and elementalism, and according to the tradition of the world of Vares, people are accustomed to calling the technique of making golems "constructology".

Constructing a Golem requires a large amount of materials, such as steel, rock, clay, ice, flesh, and ...... And, of course, coal, in fact, any material you can imagine can be used to make a golem.

Shaping the body of the golem is only the first step in the whole project, and the main application up to this point is alchemy, to get a large model, to make it move, and to put a soul into the body of the model.

What creature's soul is adopted to give life to the golem? From the Age of Dragons to the Arcane Age, many spellcasters have studied this subject, and almost every kind of creature has tried it. For example, the evil mage once collected the souls of children and put them in the golem, while the good mage tried to seal the demon's soul into the golem. Finally, after repeated experiments, it was concluded that the spirits of elemental creatures were the most suitable for making golems because of their emotional stability, good obedience, relative inexpensiveness, and the fact that the makers did not have to bear moral hazards.

In order to obtain the spirits of elemental creatures, it is necessary to open the passages to the four inner planes of water, fire, earth, and wind, summoning, deceiving, and even directly using violent means to hunt various elemental creatures and imprison them in the body of the golem, and this series of technologies must involve the elemental doctrine.

Merely putting an elemental spirit into the body of the model is not a true "constructed creature". The material of the model and the elemental spirit are as incompatible as oil and water, and in order to activate them and become real lifeforms, they must also apply high-level magic such as commanding, magical, finite prayer, and transforming everything.

With Shabalin's current casting level, it is impossible to cast all of the above high-level spells alone. Fortunately, the development of the construction doctrine has made great progress today, and there is no need to be limited to the caster level of the creator himself, and if you can't perform spells yourself, you can hire high-level spellcasters to serve, or buy the corresponding spell scrolls.

In a word, in this fantasy world of the era of the magical industrial revolution, the close combination of magic and capital has become omnipotent! As long as you're willing to pay, you'll be able to buy high-quality spell services.

The manufacture of golems is not like two eras ago, it is just that mages spend months or even years in their own towers in the form of handicraft workshops, and now there are factories for mass production of golems in the interior of the empire and major principalities and marquises, and provide accessory services.

For example, the two golems created in Shabalin, coal and iron are produced in local mines, and the raw materials are directly turned into the shape of the golems with the 5-ring transformation spell "Devil's Axe", and the elemental spirit is directly captured from the fire elemental plane with the 8-ring spell scroll "High Otherworldly Oath". As for the other accessories, most of them were ordered in Baiou Harbor - he sent an order here, paid a deposit, and within a week, the supplier sent him the corresponding accessories and instructions using the "item transfer technique", and assembled them according to the instructions himself.

"Shabalin, these two golems are not cheap, you spent a lot of money, right?" Roland asked, knocking sideways.

"Not counting the labor cost I paid personally, the Iron Golem alone cost 80,000 gold coins, and the Coal Golem, if it is slightly cheaper, also costs 50,000 gold coins." Shabalin looked at "Big Ivan" and "Big Peter" with warmth in his eyes, as if a father was watching over his son.

Roland bowed slightly, and quickly mentally calculated. The Iron Golem's cost is in line with his expectations, and its approximate combat power can be guessed from the money spent, and its challenge level is around 13 if measured by in-game data.

There's no information about the Coal Golem in the game book, but that's not a bother's for him. Shabalin said that the cost of Big Ivan is 50,000 gold coins, which is about the same as the "Stone Golem", according to the principle of "you get what you pay for", the combat power of the Coal Golem should be on par with the Stone Golem, and the comprehensive challenge level is about 11. With this information, he could further deduce a strategy against the two golems.

While he was pondering, Shabalin sighed, "Although I have spent all my savings for these two big guys, it is worth it, all young mages have two similar dreams: the first is to have their own studio, which is often called the Mage Tower; The second is to have your own Golem Assistant! ”

Roland could fully understand his feelings, and couldn't help but smile: "You mages are all otaku attributes, you stay in the tower all day with the golem, and you can't find a girlfriend when you get old." ”

"Huh? What does otaku mean? ”

"It's a nerd who stays in his own small circle all day, delves into his favorite topics, and doesn't ask about the world."

"Haha! Most mages are a bit ...... The otaku meant, but I am an exception, and the worker brothers in Kitland can testify for me. ”

"And the workers' sisters and the women comrades, right?" Roland looked at him with a smirk.

Shabalin blushed and waved his hand: "I'm not good at dealing with women. ”

"You see, I still can't get rid of the habit of being an otaku."

Roland smiled and walked over to the two golems, reaching out and patting their broad chests, the body of the iron golem "Big Peter" was warm, but the coal golem "Big Ivan" was a little hot.

Roland heard a slight crackling sound in Big Ivan's belly, as if the fire elemental was smoldering inside him.

"This guy is made of coal, which can continuously provide fuel for the fire element, and the gas produced is accumulated in the body, and the pressure must be very large." Roland secretly calculated, "Considering that this guy's name is 'Big Ivan', maybe he will really blow himself up...... Be careful when you get to the arena. ”

The shape of the two golems is also very distinctive.

Big Peter wears a huge hard hat and looks like a steelworker.

Big Ivan looked like a miner in long boots that went down the mine, a hard hat on his head, and a miner's lamp.

"You made the Golem look like a worker to promote the image of the union?" Roland saw through Shabahin's plans at a glance.

Shabalin nodded frankly, "Big Peter represents the steelworkers, and Big Ivan looks like a miner, and together they are the symbols of our Kitland Coal and Iron Union, and the worker brothers can resonate from them." ”

Roland smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You kid is really good at playing!" (To be continued.) )
