The Potential of a Golem (2)

By the way, Tester brought a considerable amount of clay back while I was asleep.

However, it wasnt able to return after getting itself stuck in the hole it was digging, stopping its movements. It seemed to have ran out of mana.

The golem wouldnt resume moving until magical power was poured into it. Normally, it could move for about one hour according to the knowledge from [Create Golem].

How long was it moving outside the dungeon?

Mmm, about an hour. Though the monster golem would have been able to move longer than that.

I wonder what other information there was for [Create Golem]? Taking out to information to remember, there was one that said [When embedding a magic stone, it will continue longer].

However, there wasnt the vital information that said what a [Magic Stone] was at all.

Rokuko, whats a magic stone?

Eh? A magic stone is, umm, its a stone packed full of mana. Though you can often get them from monsters ah, come to think of it although monster golems have magic stones, the golem Kehma made doesnt have one?

It doesnt

In other words, its like a battery for a golem. Although theres no problem since mana fills the dungeon, it looks like it cant move much outside since it doesnt have a magic stone.

Fortunately, Tester was quickly retrieved by Meat. The hole the golem couldnt get out of was about thirty centimeters. Even a child could do it. There was no choice but to drag it out. It was a lump of clay about the size of a basketball, so it must have been heavy Yep, isnt this dog eared girl strong?

Tester began to move once it entered the dungeons domain. Since it tried to go dig the hole again, it was stopped and ordered to return with Meat.

It seemed that orders persisted even if it stopped operating. That information was a good harvest. As youd expect of Tester.

So with that, lets assume that stone and soil will be collected with golems from now on I want a magic stone

A magic stone? Why not buy it with DP?

Crap, I didnt think of that. I didnt notice until Rokuko said something, am I an idiot? What a shock.

What does that mean!?

I looked at the DP catalog. Magic stones were listed as treasures. The same categories as things like jewelry. Magic stones also had a few grades, the cheapest being 10 DP and the highest being multiple thousands, it varied. For now Ill buy a cheap magic stone to try a few things out.

Right, Meat. Can you read and write?

Can, not. Its inexcusable, Goshujin-sama

Meat lowered her head apologetically. Yeah, Im not angry you know? My heart is hurting here.

I see. Then Rokuko, teach Meat her letters. If you can get her to properly remember them, Ill give you melon bread to eat. Meat too, all-you-can-eat hamburgers if you can memorize them.

Eh-, all-you-can-eat melon bread!? Got it!

A- are you sure?

Good good, light returned to Meats eyes at the mention of hamburgers. Now they feel like eyes that are alive. It seems those dead fish eyes disappeared somewhere. Yep, its best for children to be lively.

But dog eared girls like meat after all. I wonder if shed be overjoyed at a steak, Ill see if I cant get one with DP. She might let me caress her feet in gratitude.

Sooner or later, since Meat will need to do various things outside of the cave, I dont want her to remember various things.

Or rather, is it fine for her to stay as a slave at this point? No, since she might not be able to enter and leave the master room if she isnt a slave, theres no need to do something right now.

I wonder if slaves in this world are bound by magic or something? I could see a collar though well its fine for now.

Now then, lets create a golem while Rokuko is teaching Meat her alphabet.

Though Id usually want to go to sleep soon, theres one thing I prioritize over sleeping.

Thats the preparations to sleep soundly.

Its fine to cut down on sleeping time to prepare to sleep soundly!

Yep, sleep is the most important thing in the end.

I exchanged some DP to get a few magic stones and pickaxes to dig.

Though there was still 3500 DP left, it would disappear quickly if I wasted it.

I embed one of the 10 DP magic stones into Tester. I wonder how long itll be able to move outside the dungeon now lets have Tester plow the field outside the dungeon. I did a minor change, altering its hand into a hoe.

Adventurers still wont be here for a while either, so it should be safe to work outside.

Then I started making a human-sized golem this time.

It should be fine if I use the blueprint from [Create Golem] once

Ah, theres not enough clay.

Lets make it lightweight by taking out some. Thisll save materials.

I embedded it with the cheapest magic stone.

The golem could move quite energetically.

Its movements were smoother than Tester. I wonder if thats because I took out its insides?

Though Rokuko, who was teaching Meat, was surprised when she looked over, she didnt mind since it was holding a pickaxe to enlarge the cave. Dig through the cave with this, it was that simple.

Ah, I want to make a golem entirely out of stone.

The stone that had been dug up by the bandits before was all collected as items since it couldnt be turned into DP.

*

After embedding the 10 DP magic stone into Tester, it was nonchalantly plowing the field even after a day.

Looks like it could still go on. Wonder how long?

The clay golem, having a pickaxe, dug five meters into the cave. It was a five meter passage that an adult could go through.

Yep, isnt this a considerably hard worker? I repaired its joints since they were starting to break, sending it back off to dig. This manner was increasing our stone and clay stores. It also happened to extend the cave.

Well, lets immediately make a stone golem as well.

Power suit type.

Hey, Kehma. What is that?

Its an armor golem.

Why is Meat inside the golem?

Well, thats because I wanted her to wear it. Meat, try moving a bit.

O-okay.

This time I had Meat put on a frame-type golem and ordered the golem to assist Meats movements.

Meat walked, but it didnt look like she felt the weight. Though it didnt seem to be able to follow quick movements, for now it should keep its contents safe from instant death. Dont worry, I dont want to see that either.

Its a little hard to walk, but theres no problems.

Alright, try hitting the wall.

Wait up, what are you saying? Whats that stone plate?

Isnt it a wall?

Isnt it more authentic to use a wall golem made with the same stone as the golem? I ordered it so that it wouldnt move, but really I didnt order it to do anything other than be a wall. I saved a lot due to its simple structure. I wonder if I could make a brick wall variation of the stone walls.

Im, coming.. tei-!

Doooong! The stone wall shattered brilliantly. Rokuko was incredibly surprised.

Even Meat, the one who hit it, had her eyes open wide.

Since she was firmly wrapped in stone, it shouldnt have hurt, but I wonder if shes alright? Thats the most important thing right now. I want it to be safe since Im also going to use it.

Alright, good offensive power. I wonder if even fighting would be good with this? Meat, is anything wrong with your legs or feet? Properly let me know if anything serious happens okay?

I-Im alright.

Good, good. Since it looks like it can move outside with a magic stone embed in it, itll be good for simple jobs. With a little bit of remodeling it can be hidden under clothes, or maybe the opposite for a full body armor kind of thing then heading to the human village wouldnt be a problem, probably?

Lets refer to the recent group of knights for the design. While thinking about it, Rokuko tilted her head to the side and spoke.

Nn? Kehma, youre going to the human village?

Yeah. I cant just stay here and do nothing after all and now that the group of knights tidied up the bandits it should be safe to get there in comparative safety. Theres a need to collect information, so Ill go as soon as possible ah, can dungeon masters not leave?

No, its not that they cant its just, I didnt think Kehma would be interested in leaving the master room.

Ah, so that was it. I hadnt left the master room since coming to this world at all.

Well, since the bandits were here you get it right? Theyre dead now.

Ah right. It couldnt be helped.

I keenly remembered the time when the bandits were here. Well, the bandits were powerful enemies.

For some reason, I dont feel anything for them.

Theyve already turned into DP now. Its fine with that, yep.
