---Minas Mar---
The golem production was in full swing, however, Seth took a small break, leaving the insertion of souls to Cerberus, while he had to follow an idea of his own. The fact that the size restriction of the Golem Forge was lifted simply would let him alone.
How much of a tornt was it, every ti he tried to make massive golems? Because of this, they were forced to loot many of the bodies they brought from the Colossal Dungeon, without being able to use even a single one, up to now.
It wasn’t like they could put them in a storage or leave them to clog up their inventories. They also didn’t have the number of hunters to properly dismantle them, leaving them only the loot option and to get materials out of them. Despite only getting a fraction when using the system to do it, they still ended up with several warehouses of epic materials that were left to their crafters to improve their skills.
Still, Seth had kept the best bodies and he had been thinking about what to do with them, ever since. He never had the ti to work on one and Cerberus was needed in other places. But now, now he could leave a lot of the work to the Golem Forge.
With this knowledge, his mind kept mulling over ideas of what to do with the bodies he kept and the idea he had needed so preparations. A lot, actually. But he was sure it would be worth it. This was why he ca before the furnace, which also had the size restrictions removed.
He was never much of a slter. He had accepted the doctrine of the dwarves to use the correct and pure materials for the job. Although he had mixed tals and made so alloys in the past, it was never his go-to answer for anything. But now, he needed this.
Using the new knowledge of his skill, Seth enlarged the furnace. The small furnace that was about his height and enough to slt and refine and good amount of tal, grew until it almost touched the workshop ceiling. Now it looked like a proper blast furnace, that could lt and refine a great number of ores. Had he known earlier that he would unlock this function, there would have been no need to order the from sowhere else…
Since Tored’s arrival, Seth was able to leave many of the internal tasks to him and benefit from the master’s centuries of knowledge. Among them was finding a use for all the mining produce they had been hogging until now.
Especially ores of uncommon materials were not as attractive to their own craftsn who had all reached at least the journeyman tier. The best plan for these was to use them for alloys, and this was what he planned on doing now.
After enlarging the furnace, he started dumping in the contents of his inventory. Sacks and Sacks of and started filling the workshop floor. They were the lower-end products of Minas Mar’s aggressive Golem Mining.
Diligently, Seth started filling the furnace with a specific mix of tin ore and copper ore, with layers of flux and coal. The next step was simple, turn on the furnace and let it do its work, while he observed the heat and ventilation inside.
When Tored saw the list of materials they were able to mine, this was one of the very first recipes he insisted on promoting. Although they were uncommon tals, they would lead to a rare alloy called . According to the dwarven master, outclassed many other tals in hardness and durability, disregarding their rating.
Despite that, it was usually not very popular among adventurers, since the only effect it had, apart from being physically comparable to , was a 20% increase in resistance to heat and cold. There were better materials to protect from heat or cold respectively and they could usually co with much better options for attack or defense, as the enchant ability of the bronze was also inhibited.
It was not bad, with about 15% the conductivity of it was in the lower middle for conducting magic power. This ant the bonus enchantnts and the output of skills that were used through items made of it would experience was much lower than when using a better material.
Then why did Tored suggest it? Because it was actually a great material for making higher-grade golems. The Iron and Steel they used on the golems sold to Arget Nore had almost no conductivity for magic power. Compared to steel, it was 15 tis better.
Although it would compare to elite golems using , or , it was cheaper, more durable in general and they could make it in huge quantities. The plan was to use this alloy for the next generation of mass-produced golem knights because production took ti. Until now, but Seth didn’t intend to make a huge amount of bronze for a bronze army. He was looking for sothing bigger, and it didn’t end with just the alloy.
Seth’s next step was experintal. The bronze was successfully made and waited to be cast. Now was the ti for the experint. The spirit blacksmith had gained confidence after succeeding in infusing souls into fabric, now he wanted to try infusing a soul into liquid tal and essentially creating a material.
It was similar to the ti he slted and . At the ti, he felt the godly power that stuck to these tals during slting. He wanted to try and replicate this effect, using his own .
Currently, the soul infused into the item would “die” when the weapon was destroyed by lting it down. He wanted to see whether he could prevent this, by directly infusing the soul into the molten material, making it a permanent effect on the material itself, instead of a kind of enchantnt.
Beforehand, he had already prepared the soul for this experint. It was the massive Soul of the Crystal Vine he had gotten from Tano'Mol. The Crystal vine's soul had the trait of Lining Fossil, increasing its defense and endurance. He enchanted it with Olympian Durability. Using , he began to feel the liquid tal inside the furnace.
There were usually two thods he could use to infuse a soul. Creating a soul armant with and infusing it by mixing it into the tal. He tried the first since molten tal didn’t seem too different from mixing it in by folding.
The molten bronze felt very different from the tal or the fabric since it was not a solid material. Seth had trouble finding a place where he could fasten the soul. From the outside, it looked like he was just leaning against the furnace, while he was trying to get an outline of what he was supposed to do.
Seth could feel the liquid tal and he was sure he could infuse the soul, so he kept mulling over it as he scoured the material with his mind. He dove deeper and deeper as he consud more ntal power, but he found nothing.
Was he to keep going until he reached the crystalline structure within the tal? A shiver ran down his spine, at the thought of weaving the soul into the molecular structure of the material. A fabric was already taxing, he would never be able to do molecular bonds. It simply wasn’t the realm of a mortal, or he was using the wrong thod.
After all, these skills were originally divine blessings. He was a mortal, but these were the skills of a god. As such, he started turning the soul into a soul armant. With his previous attempt, he had a good idea of the outlines and shapes of the tal within the furnace.
Applying the soul armant was different from fusing it into finished items. It felt jittery and unstable, but it cald down after a while of him stabilizing everything and burning through his ntal power using .
When it finally felt like it succeeded, it was ti for the last step. Quenching in the Waters of Styx. This was the easiest part. Instead of using molds to catch the bronze, he simply let the molten tal directly run into the waters of Styx. When the bronze gushed into the water with steam and loud sizzling, he almost missed the ssage.
The system actually acknowledged his efforts and accepted the bronze as a new material altogether! Excited, Seth picked out one of the steaming drops of bronze that were released from the bubble of water.
< Durable Olympian Bronze, Crafting material
Epic
A material created by Master Smith, the first Blacksmith Master of Urth. Using and a mysterious set of skills connected to the Olympian Gods he created a material with incredible durability.
Traits: dium Magic Affinity, Resistance to heat and cold, high durability. Good corrosion resistance >
Only after seeing this, did it sink in. He succeeded, he really succeeded. Jumping up and down, with the bronze ball in his hand, he enjoyed this mont of glory. Another joyful consequence was, that he now had enough Power of Existence to level up to lv.4!
Happily, he used 15,000p of Power of Existence to finally rise to lv.4, only to choke when he saw that the next step cost a whopping 40k points... To get to lv.5 he needed more than double than before. He took a deep breath, it didn't matter. There was no need and no possibility to rush this.
Seeing Sivri’s questioning gaze, he explained what just happened. Surprised, the golden dwarf started celebrating with him. This was a great day and it was a great start for the project to co.
