Mage System In A Martial World - Chapter 13 Golems
“Haaa….Haa…” Adam fell down to the ground painting, his robe and face were dirty from the explosion of the bear head, blood and brain fragments were all over him.
“Holy shit…” He was somewhat panicking right now, he just had a fight where he was so close to death, his emotions were very agitated.
Suddenly, calmness enveloped him and all the panic and fear faded away immediately, he also slowly stopped panting. His emotions were completely stable again. He stood up.
for visiting.
“Well, thanks I guess, system.” Adam knew very well the reason for this was the system, and he had mixed feelings about it. He stared at the headless bear corpse.
‘This guy is too big to carry… Well, let’s just get the core and some parts.’ He pulled out the cheap knife out of his magic bag. As he got closer, he realized a problem.
“This knife is too small…” The cheap knife was very small compared to the big bear, who knows how long it would take to find the core or cut some parts out. Adam suddenly had an idea.
He put the knife back into the magic bag and got closer to the bear. He held out his hand like holding something in it, and suddenly, a big light blue knife slowly materialized! He was planning to use Universal Mana Form.
He shoved the knife in the bear abdomen, it was able to cut the skin with no problems. Adam knew with his experience of fighting Spirit Beasts, that once they died, their skin would turn soft. According to the system, this was because the beasts were using the Qi of their core to harden their own skin, something that they cannot do once they died.
He found the core and put it into the magic bag, he also cut some parts that could be used like the bear claws, and some of its fur. It’s too bad that its head exploded, or else he could take an eye or two. He also filled a lot of glass vials with the bear blood, it was the blood of a beast equivalent of a middle-ranked Martial Apprentice, after all, its grade was way higher than the blood he had.
Adam walked back to the inn, greeted the owner, and laid down on his bed. He pulled the bear core out of his magic bag.
He took a closer look at the core, and it was a bit different than the ones he had seen until now. Cores of Spirit Beasts he found until now were dark-red, this one was also red but it was a lighter red than the other cores. The difference wasn’t big though. He sold it to the system and looked at his points.
550 points! It was more than he had expected since the bear was pretty strong, so he got enough points to buy the thing he wanted and even a little more. He won 300 points from hunting Spirit Beasts a lot the past three days, so the bear was worth 200 points.
“I can finally buy this…” He stared at the item he wanted to buy very much, he actually didn’t expect to get enough money for it today.
Earth Golem Crafting(Low)
-400 Points.
It was a scroll just like the other times, and Adam got all the knowledge implanted into his head. It was knowledge about how to make a low-level golem made of earth, the golem had low intellect and just some slight resistance to physical and magical attacks.
Adam was curious about golems, so he made questions about them to the system. What he learned surprised him.
According to the system, there is a big variety of golems, gigantic golems made of magic resisting metal, golems made of liquid with almost invulnerability to physical attacks, golems made of wind or fire, and even automatons who looked exactly like humans!
The system said automatons are the most popular among high-level mages because they had the intellect and appearance similar to a human being, had customizable strength and never disobeyed orders.
“Won’t the automatons rebel if they as intelligent as human beings?” Adam was curious about this point.
“No, automatons are incapable of disobeying orders, nor they want to. They are similar to robots to robots in the host’s old world, and they cannot go against what they are programmed to.”
“Can someone make an automaton that acts exactly like a human being, without any programmation?”
“Yes, some oddball mages who craft golems do that. They craft an automaton as close as possible to a human being and consider them as their kid. The greatest example of this in history is…” What the system said next left Adam amazed.
There was once a mage that was given the title of Golem King, he revolutionized the whole golem industry. At his time, golems weren’t that developed, the most you could find would be a big golem made of metal and that was it.
He abandoned advancing to a new realm and getting stronger, and completely focused on his love, making golems, only stopping to eat or sleep. He was the one responsible for such a big variety of golems, and he was the first one in history to make an automaton. Heck, his whole palace was a golem capable of moving and attacking!
He died long ago, but his golems and palace remained there, roaming the world. Countless mages tried to invade it, only to be repelled by his golems. His golems weren’t programmed to do that, and they could just walk away to the outside world, but even then, they guarded their father palace with unwavering loyalty!
He did not leave any blood-related descendants, only his “daughter”, an automaton who was no different than a human on the outside, even capable of feeling emotions. She was the one who now commanded her father’s palace.
Adam went to sleep after that, like a kid who needed to hear stories to sleep. He imagined himself in his dreams as a mighty mage, commanding a huge army of golems while flying in the air.
