Master Of None

Chapter 677: 767. Metal Bones

Walker gave in to Midnightsʼ pushing. He wasnʼt sure why she was reacting so strongly. He thought that it might have been the fact that she just wanted to help Gil faster. But then he heard the rushing of dwarves and the chaos.

”Grey requested folded steel. Folded!”

”Cut those wires and braid them you fool!”

”You think steel vines is strong enough? Use giants hair!”

The calls for materials while dwarves worked was constant. Su and Walker came in to a much more chaotic scene than they had before. Midnight had pushed them directly in to the ones making parts and preparing materials for Grey. ”Brother, They are all receiving orders from Greyʼs work shop.” Onyx started asking around and easily found out what was happening.

”Then I guess we are going to Greyʼs work shop so we can see whatʼs going on.” Walker was sure there was more than he thought but also remembered that he was making a dragon style shedding golem.

”Leader, they just brought some metal plates that look like scales. I believe Grey recruited many to join him in creating the golem for us.” Su was very shocked to see how well the dwarves were working together. They may have been arguing and shouting but they were also making a tremendous amount of progress.

Walker was also trying to make sense of this. He was actively watching two dwarves fight over what tool to use for whatever task they had. Yet, they were still working at the same time on another thing. It was a multitasking skill that seemed to be pushing their progress through the roof.

After dodging through many moving parts and dwarves the group finally made it back to the same work shop Grey had been in. However, the room had been cleared out and there were tools on the walls set up for an easy grab. The middle of the room had a slightly raised pedestal and wires on the ceiling holding up parts.

Grey was moving around attaching parts together while using a tool with fire elemental mana crystals attached.

The parts he was putting together were metal bones. Metal bones in the shape of a dragonʼs. ”Youʼre here early. I thought that elder said you were out. Whatever, these are the bones of the golem I am making. They will hold the gears and then eventually withstand the weight of the layers of scales.

I was thinking of putting some of the fire elemental crystals in the throat so that it cloud breath fire p[rop[erly.” Grey was talking without looking at them. They had no idea how he had known they were there.

Midnight was the most interested in the skeleton of metal bones. She had seen some of the books Walker showed her and it had interested her a lot. She had not known that there were books that told just about dragons and humans and other monstersʼ anatomy.

She had also been intrigued by some of the different breeds of dragons in the world and had made a silent promise to herself to meet as many as possible in her life.

”I also want to make sure that there are retractable spikes for the tail and that the claws can be retracted as well. I used that on a lion golem a few years ago and it was very useful for avoiding damage to the floors.” Grey was more speaking out loud than anything. However, as Walker looked at the walls he found an entire spot of blueprints.

”These are all so amazing. I didnʼt know you had to make a completely different design just for the joints between the legs and the body.” Walker was feeling that he had truly underestimated how little he knew about golem building.

”I need them for everything. I need to see and have it perfectly put together. If even one gear is slightly out of place the entire thing could size up or worse, break in to pieces.

You look like you donʼt think that can happen, but I swear, I have seen golems topple over and turn in to a pile of useless parts because something wasnʼt the right size or shape.” Grey had paused for a moment to give Walker a confident look before grabbing another tool and fixing some small gears to a few places on the metal bones.

”You were all able to make this much faster than I expected. It is a great testament to how skilled dwarves are.” Su had come to this conclusion and few times but felt it was best to say it out loud.

”That may be. I had to yell a little to get everyone in gear. But show a dwarf a good blue print idea, and you will have them rushing to help and say they were part of the next break through. A dragon golem will do that.” Grey had not admitted that a dragon golem had not been made in many years due to the past failures. However, this time they had a younger dragon modeling for them.

They could see the ways the dragon would naturally move. This allowed them to get the golem to move more fluidly as well.

”So instead of having just you and maybe your apprentices, you have managed to get the entire high forge in on this golem. Is that really alright? I know you said it would be for us...but now that seems selfish.” Walker had already made the assumption that the dwarves would be unhappy if they saw the golem left with others.

”Ha! No, they want it wherever it will be shown off the most. With a hero who could pull it out of spatial magic and show it off to every kingdom? They loved that part. Why do you think we have so many merchants that come here? Just for materials?

No, we love the attention what we make gets.” Grey stood there hands on his hip absolutely beaming.
