Infuse the construct with an erased soul?

This is not a secret, and the mages of the association never hide it. People on the mainland who are a little more well-informed know a little bit about this. It is even rumored that the alchemical beast of the floating city of 'Al-Safir' used the remnant soul of a fallen god.

In addition, Barrett also knew that the war golems he loved very much were usually infused with elemental spirits born in various elemental planes. Because spirits are more loyal and pure, they will obey the orders of their makers completely. Although it only has a relatively basic intelligence, it can easily meet the needs of fighting and killing.

However, these were not the things that Barrett wanted to know when he came to the 'Heart of the Cogears', and he didn't talk to the Demon Tomb Wanderer in depth on this topic, but grabbed the 'meat ball' from his shoulder and placed it on the counter in front of him, juxtaposing it with the miniature insect constructs.

"Have you ever seen anything like this?" Barrett asked, pointing to the meat ball. That's what he really wants to know.

"It's a peculiar little thing, and I paid attention to it when you first walked in the door. The Mozun Wanderer moved its cube closer to the ball of flesh, the monocle of its eyes stretched and focused.

When Kreess kept the orb for Barrett for a short time, and heard him talk about some of the qualities of the Flesh Golem, he was very curious about the existence of this thing, and he also raised some doubts of his own.

The young mage told Barrett that he had never heard of this type of golem before, and that from what he knew and described in the relevant sources, it was impossible for the flesh golems that existed in ancient times to change form at will by eating them. Even with the current Guild's golem-making technology, it is impossible to create this type of golem.

However, the little mage later rejects his own point of view, saying that since the establishment of the Magic Empire, the art of making golems has been focused on warfare, and other aspects have basically been ignored.

During this period, there may have been a genius maker in the construction of the body, who did not like the Empire's golem-making style, so through his own research, using special magical materials and alchemy methods, he created this strange little thing.

But in any case, the little mage thinks that the essence of this thing should not be flesh and blood. For it, flesh is just a special energy that maintains form and action.

Eventually, the Mage told Barrett that if he really wanted to know what this fleshy little creature was, he could ask the 'Furbinn of the Gear Heart', who was an authority on construct-making because it could be one of them in its own right.

And so, here comes our barbarian adventurer.

It's not that Barrett doesn't trust Meatball, it's that his knowledge of Meatball comes almost entirely from the introduction of that tiresome voice over the Arena of Diss. The voice said that this thing was a flesh golem, and Barrett naturally thought so, what if this thing wasn't?

"I wonder if it's a construct or not. Barrett asked, "Or something else?"

"Of course, this little thing is constructed, there's no doubt about that. "It's ...... with it," the shopkeeper pointed to the metal grasshopper next to him, "...... with it," the Wanderer of the Mound, pointing to the motionless statue of humanoid armor in the doorway, "and it......" Fulbin's right hand finally pointed upwards, "and there is no difference in their essence." ”

"But there's something special about it. Barrett voiced the little mage's doubts.

"Well, what about it...... "Fulbiann put his left hand under his lips and muttered for a moment, "can you show me the nature of this little thing first?" ”

"Essence?"

"It's something like this. The shopkeeper tapped the metal grasshopper on its back, and the little insect obediently rolled over and turned its belly up. The metal carapace of the insect's abdomen opened layer by layer, revealing a ray of light embedded in the miniature disc circle.

Barrett was relieved, he looked at the balls of meat that were squatting on the counter and motionless, and nodded at it.

Then, the strange-looking hamster fell straight down like a lifeless corpse. Its chest and abdomen also opened like a constructive insect, and a strange ball of flesh with a mouth and four tentacles crawled out of it little by little.

"So you're such a little guy. The Mound's Wanderer approached again. The monocle on his eyes was almost attached to the body of the meat ball, "Let's look at it in more detail." The observer pulled out another blue crystal, encircled by a metal ring, and slowly leaned it towards the ball.

The crystal emitted a soft, faint light, and the light illuminated the body of the meat ball, causing a layer of extremely cumbersome, complex, and dense strange patterns like magic circles to appear on its surface.

"Wow, look, what a clever design!" Fulbinn sighed as he looked at the patterns, "The maker of this thing must be a genius better than me." "After the Demon Tomb Wanderer finished praising it, he suddenly frowned again, wait, why is this happening here?"

Yes, frowning, Barrett didn't think he was mistaken, the piece of metal between the other party's eyes did crumble together, forming several folded protrusions. How did this guy do it?

But now is not the time to think about that. "What's wrong?" Barrett asked, a little anxious.

"Perhaps!" said the shopkeeper to himself, continuing his intently studying. After a while, it slowly raised its head and looked at Barrett with a little seriousness, "Do you know the promotion of the devil?"

Why do you ask this?" The brute nodded.

"Do you know what the devil's promotion is?" asked Fulben again.

"Just a little bit about it. The brute said. Although his two fellow devils often talked about it, he really didn't know what kind of process it was, but he heard that it seemed dangerous, "I think it should be similar to the promotion of a mage." ”

"Uh, that's it. The Demon Tomb Wanderer was stunned, "I think there is an essential difference between the two. ”

"Does that have anything to do with what we talked about earlier?" Barrett looked at the patterned balls of meat. Does this thing really have anything to do with the devil?

"Yes. However, what I'm going to say next is not necessarily correct, it's just a guess on my part. After reminding Barrryt, Fulben continued, "Before we can say one of these speculations, we need to know a little about the Devil's promotion process. In the process, the demon's original body will gradually disintegrate and disintegrate, turning into a puddle of flesh and blood, and the fluid sac in the body will be activated by the power of hell to give birth to a primordial larva. ”

"This primordial larva will devour the flesh and blood of its original body, transforming into a new demon. And one of my guesses has something to do with this larva. The Wanderer of the Mound's mound lightly touched the ball of flesh, "I suspect that this thing was transformed from a primordial larva. Its creator interrupted the promotion process of a demon, intercepted the larva that had not yet become a devil, and turned it into its current form through the action of alchemy circles and improved golem-making techniques. ”

"The role of this little guy is equivalent to the life spark extracted from the elemental plane, the elemental spirit, or the soul whose memory has been erased. Because of the peculiarities of the larva itself, it doesn't need the maker to prepare a shell for it. It can shape a new body for itself at any time through flesh and blood. ”
