YM778.TV Chapter 334 - Great Golems
And once Eisen made sure this was the case, he turned around and looked at Brody and Xenia, both of which seemed to be relatively excited.
"So, can I count on you to teach them to move properly?" The old man asked, before the both of them nodded their heads and Eisen looked back at the Golems. "The three of you, listen to the commands of all five of us from now on. Tank, Deedee, follow Brody. Supp, follow Xenia." Eisen told them, and the three Golems swiftly responded by stepping behind either Brody or Xenia, albeit somewhat clunkily as they had to get used to their bodies first, but Evalia wanted to ask about something else.
"Tank, Deedee, and Supp? Are those supposed to be their names?" She asked with a wry smile, and Eisen just nodded and shrugged. "Yeah, why not? Tank already feels pretty nice, Deedee for ’Damage-Dealer’ as in D-D, and Supp as short for Supporter." He explained, and Evalia nodded her head with a sigh.
"I mean, they do feel pretty good to be perfectly honest... Yeah, fine. Oh, and while you were gone, I did come up with two more Golem ideas if you’re interested, but that can wait until later. You used up a lot of materials already, right?" Evalia asked, and Eisen began to move his fingers through his beard with a light smile.
"Oh yes, you can believe that I did... Especially Tank took up a lot of Steel. But in the end, it was worth it. Their Durability, which is equivalent to our HP, is high enough to be equivalent to people at level 250 or higher, even. They have great strength and agility, although their general speed seems to have suffered a little because of the material..." Eisen muttered as he looked through the Golems’ information windows, before scratching his cheek confused.
"There’s something weird, though..." The old man pointed out, and the four other originals looked at him confused. "What do ya mean, ’Weird’? These guys themselves are weird enough already, if you just think about it." Brody pointed out, but Eisen simply continued looking at the information windows with a light frown.
"What’s weird is that each of them have an effect that I don’t recognize. And I don’t just mean that they’re effects I’ve never seen before, because basically all of them are new to me. I just simply can’t see how they got these effects. And just the name is pretty..." The old man whispered quite confused, and Xenia looked at Eisen with just so lightly twitching ears, making him remember what Brody said before.
Eisen still seemed somewhat sceptical toward everything, though. He thought that something was going on, but even then, deep down he had this feeling that it’s all just nonesense. And that feeling seemed somewhat artificial to him in and of itself.
But either way, for now, Eisen wanted to try and ignore it until they had some more direct clues to what was happening, so he just quickly listened to what Xenia seemed to want to ask.
"And what is the effect?" She inquired relatively excitedly, and Eisen just sighed and moved his fingers through his beard.
"
"Then I guess there’s no choice but to ask Sky. Sigurd, can you let him know that we need him for something real quick?" Eisen asked with a smile, and a few seconds later, the Core Guardian appeared in a slight mist.
"Done." It replied, and Eisen turned toward the other side of the giant room that was the current space inside of the Dungeon, before seeing the short blue-haired boy approach them.
And it didn’t take that long for him to arrive either, and Sky then looked up at Eisen while letting his sight drift over to the Golems a few times. "You need me for something?" He asked, and the old man nodded his head immediately.
"Yeah, I do. Do you know what the Great Golems are?" Eisen asked, simply trying to immediately get to the point, and Sky replied with a bright smirk. "Of course I do!" He said, and for a few seconds, Eisen and Sky just looked at each other, waiting for the other person to speak up.
Usually, Sky knew that whenever Eisen asked things like this, he wanted to know something about them and the young Fey-Kin would just immediately move on and start doing so, but he, for some reason, wasn’t doing so now.
"Then could you tell us about them? We don’t know what they are." Eisen explained with a wry smile, but now Sky just began to blink a few times in a row and pulled his head slightly back in confusion as he looked over at the Golems.
"What are you talking about? You made replicas of three of them..." Sky said and slightly pointed at Tank, Deedee, and Supp, and Eisen turned around toward Evalia confused.
"Did you know about them after all?" He asked her, but Evalia just shook her head trying to understand what Sky was saying. But then, Brody held his forehead for a few moments as if in pain before stepping up and looking at Sky.
"What’re the names of the Great Golems Eisen replicated exactly?" He asked, and Sky looked up at the Demon-Orc with a confused frown. "Well, the names of the Great-Golems are kind of weird, but they did change the way we speak about party members now a good bit... Erm, the big guy is called ’Tank’. The one with the staff should be ’Supp’, short for ’Supporter’. And the one with the crossbow there is ’Deedee’... That’s simply how you pronounce the first two letters of the ’Damage Dealer’ role..." Sky explained, and Eisen’s mind immediately began to rush around the place, although it seemed to be forced to calm down soon after.
And then, the old man noticed that the Red Notification in the corner of his eye moved further into his sight, and he was now able to read another word, ’To’, so what Eisen could read then was ’To Grardour’, although he still didn’t know what was going on exactly.
But what he did know was that he just had to pretend as if nothing was wrong. "Haha, what a coincidence. I called them that as well. But yeah, we didn’t know exactly what they were, so we wanted to make sure we got everything right." The old man said with a wink, trying to go with the first lie that came into his head, and Sky slowly nodded his head with a frown.
"Right... Erm, but why didn’t you make ’Croco’ and ’Ranger’? Well, I guess Supp can use other magic other than Support Magic as well, and Deedee has the crossbow to use on range as well, but those two should still be on a different level..." Sky pointed out, and Eisen swiftly turned over toward Evalia.
"Those two other designs you made, what did they look like and what could they do?" Eisen asked her, and Evalia just smiled at him, seemingly having lost to the ’Ecstatic State’.
"Hmm, one of them was a child-like Witch with mainly Crowd-Control Abilities, and the other one was an Archer with a Bow the size of its Body." She explained, and Sky nodded his head immediately.
"That’s Croco and Ranger, alright. Well, I guess if you have them planned anyway, do you have any idea when you’re making them? The stories about them were some of my favorites, but I can’t find many books about them that can be used with my Inkheart Magic..." The Fey-Kin boy said, and Eisen just replied with a bright smile and crossed arms.
"Well, it’s going to take a little longer for all of the special materials to be finished for the rest of the items I want to make, so until those are done I’ll go ahead and just work on them if you like them that much." Eisen answered, and Sky began to grin brightly.
"Cool! Oh, and actually, there’s a story about them going to the ’God Islands’ as far as I remember... There’s a lot of stories about that, actually, about a lot of different people and magical creatures doing so... But nobody really ever knew what the God-Islands were until you came along and told us about the island group in detail. They might be there somewhere still! Golems don’t age, after all, and that was apparently the chronologically last story about them as well." Sky pointed out, and Eisen immediately lifted his eyebrows as he remembered a few details all of a sudden.
He was already told before that there was an island with Golems within the group before, and one of the Gods that Eisen saw during the ’Meeting’ during the Prime-Industries tour looked to be a Golem as well, at least judging from the fact that it had something like a core in the center of its chest and was made of rock, but Eisen didn’t want to assume anything...
"Is there a God of Golems?" The old man asked, and Sky slowly nodded his head.
"Mhm, there is. He’s a lesser god, though, and his name is literally ’Golem’. He was the first Golem that came into existence, so the whole type of construct has been named after him." He expkained, so Eisen crossed his arms with a smirk on his face. "Alright, then I’ve got a pretty good idea of where we’re going after conquering the central Island." The old man said with a smirk and then turned to the others again.
"We’ll be headed to the island of the God of Golems afterward." The old man explained to them, speaking as if there was no further discussion about it, and there really wasn’t, and the only one that had something against it seemed to be Brody.
"What, why do we have to fight those guys, it ain’t fun if your enemy doesn’t bleed!" He exclaimed, and Eisen replied with a deep sigh, trying to ignore what the Demon-Orc actually just said.
"Most Golems are naturally slow, so especially someone like you should be able to fight against them easily. They die once their core is destroyed, and they apparently give hefty experience. And I personally don’t think the Golems on the Island of a God, no matter if he’s a lesser god or not, will be made of just mud or sand. And they won’t be made of decayable materials either, at least not of flesh. So, what other materials could there be on the island?" Eisen asked with a smirk, and Xenia slowly began to respond.
"Most likely rock, ore or processed metals, or crystals..." She explained, and the old man nodded his head immediately.
"Exactly. Just what we need to create houses that won’t disappear by not having mana fed to them." He said with a grin, and then slightly shrugged, "And finding a few Historic Golems that myths are written about is a great bonus, don’t you think?"
