Wizard's Tower, inside the laboratory. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On a large workbench, a clay body about 2.5 meters tall is placed in it, and the body of the golem can be made separately, and Stephen has not yet completed the final assembly process. During the Thorsilver Age, the early golems used by wizards had strange shapes, but after the Arcane Empire, due to the rise of bionics, the appearance of the golems was uniformly planned, and the overall appearance was closer to that of humans. However, it is not that the wizards of the past did not want to make it more elaborate, but because the previous technology could not simulate human activities to improve the efficiency of the golem's work, it was a special operation structure in many places.

The rise of runic crafts increased the efficiency and flexibility of golems, and it was only after this period that golems became more human-like in appearance.

The 2.5-meter-tall clay golem weighs 750 pounds, its face is square, it has no neck, a broad and majestic chest, thick arms attached to the shoulders that hang down to the knees, short, thick but flexible fingers, legs that are only one-third the length of the body, and the soles of the feet are wide and flat.

"Almost. ”

Stephen finished the rune line on his leg, and with a wave of his hand, the silver carving knife suspended in mid-air automatically fell back into the toolbox.

After completing the first step of the upgrade, the Alchemy Hand is very efficient, and within fifteen meters, objects weighing no more than 20 pounds can be easily controlled by Stephen's mind, and the flexibility is comparable to his own hands.

To his left was some crushed gem powder, and after assembling the clay golem's limbs onto his torso, Stephen picked up a makeshift oak wand and tapped it around the workbench, and then a faint glow visible to the naked eye appeared and stretched along the workbench in a brilliant color.

This is the [Leyline Node].

Stephen uses the mana supply channel grafted by large circles to provide a steady transmission of mana energy, while allowing him to cast some high-level spells temporarily.

Click!

He tapped his wand on the clay golem's chest, which opened to reveal a cumbersome rune vein with a groove in the center that Stephen placed the soul spar in and closed itself. Generally speaking, the soul core of a golem is on the chest, and the brain is just a rune sensory receiver.

- "Activate and construct life!"

A trace of elemental magic melted into Stephen's body along the staff, and the sound of a subdued spell chanting sounded, a spell with a relatively high degree of difficulty, even he could not skip the process of chanting the incantation.

Earth, water, wind and fire.

The elemental magic from the leyline node surged down Stephen to the clay golem in front of him, and its body was changing under the mysterious force, and a vitality that was completely different from flesh and blood life was injected into the clay shell. This is a power from the elemental plane, and the original inspiration for the golem was derived from the form of elemental life.

The entire casting process lasted five minutes.

Even Stephen couldn't help but feel a little tired, this spell normally requires 11 wizard levels, and now he has only recovered the power of a level 7 wizard, and he must use the power of leylines to cast activation spells.

"Master!"

As Stephen spat out the last syllable of the incantation, the clay golem in front of him suddenly shook, and then the huge and burly body sat up, weighing nearly 750 pounds and making a dull sound. Stephen reduced its actual combat abilities during crafting and improved its language and comprehension skills, which allowed the Clay Golem to accept more complex commands.

"Whew!" Stephen put down his staff and pointed to the box next to him, and ordered, "Move this over there, and clean the room with a broom." ”

The Clay Golem moved and replied in a deep voice, "Okay. Master. ”

It was a little bulky, but it quickly got used to it.

There is a fragment of the memory of life left in the soul crystal, and after the pure extraction is activated, it is a natural artificial intelligence, and different levels of soul cores can be made according to the quality of the soul crystal, and the corresponding soul core can understand more complex commands.

Golem golems have no mind of their own.

Their soul core is only a remnant of simple intelligence, and they can do relatively easy to understand work.

The 'self-aware' construct is the Taling, the starting strength is the legendary level, they are the managers of the Wizard Tower, and the more advanced is the 'Taling Commander', and their powerful abilities act as the brain core of the operation of the floating city.

Soon.

The Clay Golem finished its work, and it returned to Stephen and went into standby.

A complete clay golem needed to keep track of the daily work, but Stephen only glanced up and down before muttering, "Sleep." Enter standby mode. ”

"Yes. Master. The clay golem shook slightly, and then stood motionless as a sculpture.

Stephen nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Start." Recharge yourself. ”

The clay golem came to life in an instant, and said in a deep voice, "Okay." Master. ”

Then, he saw the clay golem come to the leyline node, press his palm on it, and the inside of the palm parted to reveal a silver-white rune circuit, and then a stream of leyline demonic energy poured into its body.

A good finished product.

Stephen was in a good mood, clapping his palms to put the clay golem to sleep again, and then walked towards the mine. "It's time to speed up the mining process. ”

Clay Golems possess a strength close to that of a juvenile red dragon, and they are highly efficient laborers, directly carrying heavy loads of less than a ton, and they are equivalent to hundreds of humans in the mining process. Clay golems do not need to rest, do not eat, are not afraid of danger, and can be used as long as there is enough energy supply and daily maintenance. Depending on the intensity of the work in the mine, a clay golem is enough for major maintenance at most once a year, and although the intensive work will reduce their lifespan, it is still fine for more than ten years of normal use.

"The Clay Golem has already made one. ”

Stephen looked at the busy silver mine and frowned, "The next step is to build the elemental pool." Without a steady supply of energy, the golem is just a decoration. ”

The progress of mining by the indigenous people is slow.

It may take several years for shallow minerals to be mined, let alone explore and exploit deep vein resources.

Stephen needed a stable mining back-up team to ensure that he could mine and refine other rare minerals in the future at short notice. The initial plan is to craft 15 Clay Golems, 1 Guardian Steel Golem, a small Functional Elemental Pool, and a Small Elemental Refining Furnace.

Although it is only a golem puppet of the logistics department, it is no problem to face a regular army of 3,000 people after the completion of the antigen inhabitants.

Stephen's safety is also enough to be guaranteed.

The only drawback is that in this way, all the soul crystals in his hand are used up, and Stephen's hoarded gem resources are also exhausted, and then he will only have steel, silver, and gold in his hands.

Gems in the aboriginal world are very expensive, a medium-quality ruby starts at more than 100 gold coins, and a diamond of average size and quality can easily cost more than 500 gold coins.

Preferably diamond-rich mining areas!

Unfortunately, there are no such places in the north at the moment, but there are some in the south.

The silver ore in the mine had already been mined and hoarded, and once Mithril had been distilled in part, Stephen would be able to make a small floating ring, and his wizard's tower would be able to rise. A flying wizard tower is a small mobile stronghold, making it easy for Stephen to research and explore the world.
