{Back to our glorious Golem Maker}

[The Golem, Torva has received enlightenment by witnessing a legendary item. All skills have been raised in level and the chances of making a legendary item has increased by 1%.]

This, this is exactly why I knew that Torva would grow fast, but I didn't expect him to make a legendary sword so quickly considering how many normal rated weapons he was churning out. That's fine though, the sooner the better. I slightly smiled when I saw Grid crying over the NPC Khan when He took him to the clinic. I would be the same way with my golems, even though I know they can't actually die, since they will be recalled into my inventory once they hit 0 HP, doesn't mean it won't hurt me if it actually happens.

I care about my golems as if they were my children since I created them. Although I might see some of them a bit more than children, I won't say who just in case my golems can read emotions. What happened to Grid later was something that made me laugh to the point where I lost my concentration on the golem I was currently working on and fell to the floor in a pit of laughter. All of my golems currently at the hideout looked at me and wondered why I was laughing so hard. Then I explained to them that Grid sole the sword for 200,000 gold but that he could have sold it for a small fortune in the auction house since I know for a fact that the top rankers are close to getting advanced mastery in some skills.

When I thought back to that sword, I wanted to steal it but, there wouldn't be much of an opportunity for it unless the Yatan church wins the fight against Earl Steaim's knights. With that sword it would be hard for the Yatan church to win but that didn't deter me from sending a few assassin golems that were of rare rank in class and type to go to the location of the fight and see if they could scavenge the battlefield. What surprised me was the fact that the Yatan church won the fight and gravely injured the knight wielding the sword.

I didn't let this opportunity get by me and the moment they got away from the battlefield and stopped to rest I had my assassins steal the sword and leave an epic rated one that Torva made. The main reason I'm stealing this sword is to have Torva make rapid progress by trying to understand and replicate this sword. Once I received the sword, I gave it to Torva but she didn't get started on dismantling the sword right away but requested head pats from me since she was disappointed in herself for not coming to a simple realization. What was it you ask? Well she learned once Grid made a new hammer that they could do wonders to increase the quality of an item made. It took her around twelve tries, but she managed to make her first unique item.

[Torva's blacksmith Hammer]

Rating: Unique

Durability: 420/420 Attack Power: 100-120

Odds of making a Rare Rated Item: 12%

Odds of making an Epic Rated item: +3%

Odds of making a Unique Rated item: +2%

Torva's Hammer was made with her unbreakable determination and will to surpass the craftsman she watches and learns from. She has amazing potential and skills, but lacks the experience and reputation to truly excel to her goal.

This hammer was produced with only the creator and their master in mind, so it isn't suitable for others use a blacksmith's hammer

Conditions of Use: Torva, Daz

Weight: 100

It's not as good as Grid's hammer when it comes to the rare and Epic odds but it comes out on top because it increases the chance of making unique rated items which she needs to make in order to upgrade her class. While I was grinding out and deconstructing golems with normal classes in hopes of a unique one, I saw that Grid was making a strange item to combat the Kesan Canyon. Well, I call it strange because he hasn't made it yet but was talking to himself about it. Then he came to a conclusion of making an invisibility cloak! I didn't even think about that! He must need to go to Kesan Canyon for his class quest but if he is trying to make the hood out of Sylphid scales, then it would take him a while to get to a proper level or stat requirements for it.

Unless he makes an item to combat them as well. If my golem teams had a higher average level, I would send them out to hunt Frostlight Orcs, but they are still leveling up at a rapid pace so they should be able to soon. If Torva could make a production method for an invisibility cloak in the same way Grid did, then we could put them on our assassins. More so she could add more materials than just the scales to provide some better defense, for instance she should use some high level orc skin or dire wolf hide. It will have to wait until Grid makes his first so she can use it as a reference.

I decided that my golems should focus on leveling for now so I had all of my goblin miners come back to base for now so that the didn't have to be protected. After that, all of my golem teams started rapidly raiding the dungeons on higher levels but didn't do it recklessly since that would make it pointless. They knew I wanted them to have an average level of at least 90 before I sent them to hunt the frostlight orcs. However, the golems surpassed my expectations. Not a single one of them was defeated and after three days, the average level of the golems was 100 which drove me to level 120. Torva was on the lower level being at level 90 but that's fine since even though she forges a ton of items, it doesn't generate as much experience as fighting does. I will say though, Torva told me that Grid was trying to get into the canyon where Piaro stayed for some kind of swordsmanship, so I was looking forward to her acquiring it.

After a while, I called all the golems back, then sent them on an expedition to the territory of the frostlight orcs. As long as Martimer is the main one tanking damage, then they should be fine no matter the amount of orcs. Plus, she acquired two undead she made by combining the body of an orc with the legs and head of a dire wolf. They were apparently, undead were-orcs. They were unnaturally fast, tanky, and were only ten levels lower than Martimer herself. They could also be outfitted with equipment so Torva made larger armor and greatswords to fit their larger frame. By the time they arrived was around when Grid left when he defeated the field boss. Once they arrived, Martimer made sure to group up all the golems into two, larger teams instead of 10 smaller teams. It seemed like she was a natural at leading. By the time they started attacking the orcs, it was a one sided slaughter and my golems were handling them with ease. Maybe having over a 100 golems with an average level of 100 attacking the frostlight orcs with an average of 120-140 was a bit overkill since they normally are only in groups of 6-10.

It was at that point that I didn't need to watch anymore or release the breath I was holding in. I'm glad I worried for nothing, and since it seems that half of the golems are inactive, I had half of them come back and grind out the dungeons nearby instead since it would be more efficient than having them sit in the backline and do nothing. Martimer also gained an explosive increase in stats due to the frostlight orcs.

Sadly she couldn't just absorb the same type of enemy for the same amount of stat increases as it would depreciate over time. However, that wouldn't be the case for players. How do I know this? Because when half of my golems were leaving, a group of male players, around 30 of them at level 120-140 were looking at my golmes with perverted eyes. I ordered my golems to attack them on sight, I didn't need to know what they were trying to do when I could see it all with just their eyes and facial expressions alone. Nobody touches my golems except me and those I permit to do so. According to Martimer, since every player was different, even if they have the same class, they would provide a small percentage of their stats when absorbed. Sadly though, it can only be used once per player, however it would be a permanent decrease for that player.

Do I feel bad for the players that were affected by Martimer? No, because they can still provide experience for my golems and they were going to try and attack them anyways. Once that was done and over with, half of my golems that were previously delayed due to that incident, have now arrived back at the dungeons, while the half lead by Martimer continued to hunt the orcs. I told Martimer to hunt the orcs until the average level for them is around 130-140. Something I found absurd was, during this time, Torva managed to make two unique swords, one of which was a greatsword. I had her keep the greatsword and put the shortsword on a rack for now since none of my assassins have shown progress towards an epic or unique class. I guess that is the limit of watching Faker. I'll have to find a more powerful assassin to watch at some point since they can almost perfectly mimic him, the only thing that would let Faker win against them is the level difference.

One of my swordsman though, has managed to become an advanced swordsman at epic rating. I gave him the name of Gladius and while it might seem weird for me to head pat a male golem, I still did it since I treated all of my golems, except a few, like my children. He has shown the fastest progress of the swordsman golems and became one of the leaders of a golem team. It was kind of funny since Gladius was barely five foot tall and looked like a teenage boy similar to Ibellin of the Tzedakah guild. He still couldn't grasp Piaro's techniques, but it's fine since I'm sure that he would have to be at least on the cusp of becoming a legend to get to that point. I noticed that Piaro started to observe Grid when he entered the canyon, he had the most of the cameagles flying around him with Duke on his shoulder. I warned all of my swordsman that Piaro might have an encounter with Grid, and they temporarily stopped hunting in favor of watching what might happen.

[Time for Piaro to speak to ya boi Grid]

It seemed like luck played a huge role in this man named Grid, defeating a canyon spider. Piaro still admired him all the same though.

"His ability grows every time he hunts a monster. His potential is beyond imagination… He seems to be a good choice to take revenge for me."

Piaro was once the strongest knight of the Saharan Empire, originally a knight captain, but he was framed by Asmophel as a traitor and hid in Kesan Canyon. If it weren't for the timely intervention of his cameagle friends, then his mind would be to solely focus on revenge rather than now where his main focus is revenge and his second was to train and feed his new friends.

"Asmophel…. I will make sure that you die a cruel death!"

There were trackers looking for Piaro all throughout the continent. Piaro couldn't escape from this place even though he had the cameagles there to warn him of danger since they might be caught and killed. That was the last thing that Piaro wanted to happen to them. Therefore he needed someone else to get rid of Asmophel, who ruined the lives of Piaro and his colleagues. He was convinced that Grid was the person who could take out his revenge for him.

[Back to our regularly scheduled program.]

I thought that Piaro would go to Grid right away, but it turns out that he would observe him for longer instead. Disappointed, I gave head pats to my swordsman, sent them off, and told them to keep an eye out for when Piaro would encounter Grid face-to-face. I went to observing Grid while grinding out more golems. He seems to be taking out some sort of personal grudge he has with some players he met that were trapped by a canyon spider. Must have something to do with his past irl. I could use some money to dig up his past and find out more about him, but that would be a waste of money and time. I found it funny how Grid was taking advantage of the situation the ordinary players were in, to extort them of all their items. Not that I mind though, if I was in a similar situation, even if I had no grudge against them, I would do the same thing or just kill them and take it from their corpse. I was thinking of using the canyon as my golem's next hunting spot since the dungeons highest level of mobs were at level 130.

In order for that to be possible, I have to make sure that Piaro doesn't intervene with them by trying to get my golems to do his revenge quest. It shouldn't be too hard if I they encounter him and I have the cameagles be friendly to them. I'll have my golems tell him that the cameagles are native to their land. That will come at a later time, once my golems milk their current hunting grounds for all that they are worth. I decided to check on the cameagle that I passes to Agnus, to give to Yura.

The cool thing about them is the fact that they can actually be registered as pets by players as if, they were treated as petes by the system. I can still observe people through them, regardless of this fact though. When a player or NPC register the a cameagle as a pet, they can view their surroundings though them. It's like a 3rd person view or should I say, Birds eye view. Apparently this was what made life for Piaro in the desert much easier, and is now helping out Yura in scouting out villages, and towns near the Yatan church since she happens to be the 'Eighth' Servant. I obviously couldn't make a production of her class due to the absurd level difference, but I should be able to in the future. I won't do that anytime soon in case she manages to get another class change in the future.

Keeping my line of thought on pets, I wonder if I could make a wyvern golem and maybe they could evolve into actual dragons. Dragons are basically myths in this game, so it would be awesome to actually have one. I'll have to find someone with a wyvern though, and get to a similar level to it as well. I'll think about that in the future, for now I'l just focus on trying to make more golems. I was so focused on my task that I didn't even realize I was working on the same wolf golem for a full 2 days in game. By the time I finished, it was four times the size of a normal dire wolf, was black in color, with blood red eyes. I used bloodstone for the eyes and black iron for the body. It's claws were made of diamond but, when it opened its eyes, the claws changed from a deep sea blue, to a dark red. WHen I took a few steps back, the wolf howled loud enough that it was heard throughout the forest, even though I was on the seventh floor.

[Due to the masterful work and amazing use of the materials at hand. A Unique rated Boss Golem has been created. Boss golems can only be created out of monster type golems. These golems start at a fixed level and are very difficult to level up. If the golem manages to break through, then it can become a legendary boss golem and will trigger a global event.]
