Chapter 168: Ancient Weapons (3)
The boy's face was as it was then.
Junwoo approached and said with a bewildered face.
"Huh… how have you been doing?"
"I'm fine."
Junwoo asked while looking at the golem he was making.
"What's the name of this?"
"I haven't decided yet, but did you make Fder and Homme?"
"Are you a golem, you know?"
"Both are made by me, so Homme is particularly useful, isn't it?"
"Oh yeah? Great."
"He's a tough guy. Raise your defense a lot."
The characteristic was Homme related to defense.
"It is."
The boy smiled and put the clay-like piles of dirt in his hands on the floor.
"What are you here for this time? If it's homework, you don't have to do it yet."
It seemed that making the dungeon gate was the boy's homework.
Junwoo immediately talked to the boy about the main point.
"I came here because of a special soul stone, and they said you can make it the only way."
"Ah, that's why you came. But didn't I tell you last time?"
"yes? when?"
The boy looked at Junwoo, puzzled, and said as if he had remembered something.
"Oh, right. I didn't give you the book."
"I just showed it. I didn't give it."
"But what, then, I shredded the book, so there was no way to deliver it?"
For a moment, a look of embarrassment appeared on Junwoo's face.
"Huh?"
"Don't be too surprised. Because I can tell you simply. It depends on how well you understand and control your mana."
The boy smiled on Junwoo's face, feeling relieved.
"Kikko, it looks like it's important. Anyway, the method is simple. You just need to combine 20 soul stones of the highest-grade golem."
"How?"
"Look Carefully."
The golem's soul stone was placed in the boy's hands.
Mana rose from his palms, and as the soul stones of both hands touched, two drops of liquid similar to each other permeated as if they were one.
"How did you do it?"
"It's simple, just add the same amount of mana to two soul stones and stack them, and you can create a slightly more powerful golem, but it's not as good as having a real soul."
A real soul probably meant a soul stone with a name on it.
"Try it."
Two golem soul stones flew in front of Junwoo.
Holding one in each hand, Junwoo injects mana into the soul stone and puts the two together like the boy did.
When the two were stacked on top of each other, what had been slowly seeping in suddenly cracked and shattered and fell to the floor.
The boy shook his head.
"The one on the right is a little higher. Take it slow."
As the boy played with his hands, a square box of stones was made, and beads called the golem's soul stones piled up.
"Thanks."
Junwoo sat on the floor, took a marble out of the box, and held it in both hands.
Mana slowly permeated the soul stone and filled it enough, so the two overlapped.
The two became one and sparkled white.
"Okay, I thought it would be easy for you. Try again."
"yes."
When Junwoo looked successful again, the boy smiled.
"Good, good. You only have to do those 20 times."
The cost of 20 top-grade golem soul stones and Junwoo's mind suddenly came to mind.
‘About 300 billion… ….'
It was originally worth about 50 billion won, but now it is being traded for about 13 billion won.
After thinking about it for a while, the non-overlapping soul stone cracked and sank.
"Concentrate."
"I'm sorry… …."
"Anyway, if you do it 20 times, you can create a special soul stone. No more, no, no."
It didn't seem certain.
"By the way, are you trying to make a humanoid golem out of it too?"
"Yeah, maybe… …."
"Oh, I think you could make something bigger than that guy; I can tell just by looking at what he's wearing."
He was a boy looking at Junwoo's armor and drawing a face full of anticipation.
"Yeah, I'll make it. Thanks for letting me know."
"Yeah, where do you make it? You won't be able to make a greater golem than me, though."
Junwoo was very much looking forward to what would be made.
It was probably more powerful than any golem he had ever seen.
"yes?"
"What is that expression?"
"Why?"
"He had a confident face… …. Aren't you laughing at the golems I made?"
"no way… …."
"No, I think I was laughing at something."
"Because it's not."
The boy looked at Junwoo suspiciously and relaxed his expression.
"Well, I will admit it. Because the things you made are excellent, like Tower, Homme, Lloyd."
"Did you all watch?"
"Sure. But where are you going to use the golems that will be made from premium soul stones?"
As Junwoo thought about it, the boy widened his eyes.
"Are you going to mine more ores?"
"I think so. If necessary, why?"
"It's your freedom, but… …. Where the hell are you going to spend so much money?"
"I had to make something and sell it."
"You are doing business. but… …."
Accepting the boy's words, Junwoo continued to combine the soul stones into one.
The boy opened his mouth as if thinking of something.
"Oh, right. I'll tell you one. Do you have a bad relationship with the kids with black stars on their shoulders?"
"yes? Do you know anything about that?"
"They are watching what's happening here, so anyway, one of the people wearing that mark looked towards the tower while Lloyd was away."
Talks about Junwoo's workplace were circulating on the internet like crap.
I thought maybe he had visited spy once.
"thanks. when?"
"About a week ago?"
It seems that it was the time of hunting in Japan.
"Thanks for letting me know."
"What~"
The boy looked at Junwoo and smiled.
"But you've become a lot harder, aren't you?"
"Tough?"
"In the past, I had a hard time with Brexar, but now I can't win even if a few Brexars rush in?"
It was the name of the first boss Junwoo caught in the Plaza of the Earth.
A faint smile spread across Junwoo's lips.
"I was right a lot back then."
One more soul stone has been merged.
"What are you good at now?"
"I think I know. Some extent."
"As expected, I knew it from the first time I saw it, and it seems that he has a deep knowledge of mana because mana is infinite."
"It's not infinite, but… …."
"Anyway, promise me one thing."
"What promise?"
"Bring the golem made of premium soul stone to the Earth Plaza because I want to see it."
At the boy's words, Junwoo got up from his seat.
"Yes, I will show you. And thank you. Thank you then, and thank you now."
At Junwoo's words, the boy smiled.
"Keuk, did you notice?"
"I think so… …."
"Goodbye. Don't be too crafty. Go around the world. Because there doesn't seem to be anywhere, you can't go."
"Yeah, I will. Take care."
The boy's smiling face was blurred.
As everything ripped apart, Lloyd's voice was heard.
"master?"
"Uh… …."
Lloyd grinned.
"Looks like you've been there. Where are we going now?"
"No, I have nowhere else to go. It seems like he's been to this place from Dark Star more than once."
"Did someone special say that?"
"Yeah, one person came and went."
"What?"
"I won't come this far. If there is any movement in the group, a report will come, so don't worry too much. But just in case you don't know, I think we should hire more rangers."
"I think that would be good, Master. If you come, I will punish you with Homme."
Junwoo drew a faint smile.
"It's good. Shall we go back?"
"Go back first, Master. I'll look around the golems' status other than Kakan and Fder before I go."
"Can you please? Then give it a try."
"Yes, sir, please come back. To make a special golem."
"Okay, then I'll go first."
"Yes, be careful, my lord."
Lloyd shook his head lightly.
Junwoo nodded lightly and flew back the way he came.
A flying car carrying Junwoo flew out of the gate at high speed.
As soon as he arrived at the Aegis Guild building, Junwoo texted Jun-Seong Park.
Materials for making a mobile suit, first of all, the soul stone of a top-notch golem was needed, and in addition, countless precious gems and materials were going to be needed.
Park Jun-seong's eyes widened as he received the text message that required a lot of material.
‘What, these great ingredients… …. And why are there so many ingredients I've never even heard of… …. What the hell are you going to make… ….'
But the material did not end there.
Junwoo was also awkward because the materials that received the system calibration would be included.
‘material cost… ….'
The expected material cost was burdensome, and because I had to buy a good ring and skill, gold was expected to be tight in many ways.
"after… …."
Still, making it was not something that could be done in a day or two, so I had no choice but to earn as much gold as I could now.
Junwoo hastily purchased the highest-grade soul stone first.
With all 14 of them and the 6 they bought, Junwoo stayed in the room on a quiet night to catch his breath.
It was like a huge amount of gold disappearing if it failed, so Junwoo showed unprecedented concentration and tried the fusion he had learned from the golem master.
One by one, the soul stones were united without failure.
The spirit stones of the golems grow little by little. Finally, when 20 are combined, they emit light and are reborn with a new name.
[Special Golem's Soul Stone]
-Rank: Unique+
– Race: Golem
-Description: A golem's soul stone used for crafting.
-Item value: 900,000,000,000,000
The value was lower than that of Homme's Soul Stone.
However, considering the huge amount to be added, it was going to cost an amount that could not be compared with the production cost of Homme.
Junwoo closed his eyes while holding the large special soul stone.
When mana was infused, a shape was drawn in his head that would lead to the power of the soul stone.
It was a slim humanoid machine, and the rigidity was seen as if it was wrapped in stylish sheet metal armor.
Junwoo woke up and started working on the mobile suit design from that day.
Junwoo earned gold by receiving two Mithril Automail customers daily and selling many supplies, in addition to suits and flying cars.
Working together, the design work continued.
If something seemed wrong, Junwoo drew the blueprint again.
Day by day, the blueprints for the mobile suit piled up.
The amount of paper required the most longevity among the blueprints used by Junwoo.
The expected number of chapters is around 19.
[Paper made of Yggdrasil thread x20] [Better]
-Rank: Unique+
-Classification: Consumable
-Description: Paper used for making blueprints. You can expect better results than regular paper.
– Item value: 200,000,000,000
I thought I could save one.
Junwoo drew the blueprint on plain paper and transferred it to paper made of Yggdrasil thread.
Late in the morning, the week-long blueprint work was finished with light.
With a happy face, Junwoo looked at the finished blueprint.
When I saw the ingredients, my face was slightly shaded.
The material cost reached 15 trillion won, which is a very difficult level right now.
‘Should I sell the doll? … .'
It was a very disturbing moment.
