Walker, Gil, and Midnight followed a similar path they took all the way to the high forge. They noticed that there were many dwarves at work in the streets and buildings. Many were repairing steam pipes or fixing gears. The hos that were under repair mostly were being fitted with new tals doors after slis had consud them.
There were even so dwarf children allowed to play out and about which made them much happier to see. The children were playing with small golem toys or even building things themselves. This was a much more normal activity for them than many would have guessed. Compared to the human kingdom the children would often spread out and do many different things. But here they played with gears since they made up many of the tools they used.
The high forge appeared to also be more active from the outside. Many younger looking dwarves were carrying various parts and tools from the outside. Walker could easily see that they were in charge of repairing a great deal of what had been damaged. It was also clear that many golem parts were being brought out and up to the surface for the king of the surface to use in making the three hundred golems.
"Miss Midnight. My king has instructed to lead you to the lower forge where the fire breathers and coal miners stoke the fires." The royal guard that had been left to wait at the entrance gave Midnight a high amount of respect which caused her to beco even more joyful in her walk.
"We will head inside first Midnight. I know we need to deal with the spirit forging, but I plan to see that Grey who builds golems first. We did et one of their apprentices." Walker had taken what the king of the middle had said seriously and knew that bringing the golem cores they had to Grey could lead to sothing very interesting.
"Finally, I have been waiting to see this golem builder. You brought up the golem cores and the guy you t at the auction and it's been killing with curiosity." Gil was equally excited. Walker had made many attempts and remarks on the golems and the cores they had.
"We have an undead golem core, steel golem core, snow golem core, and now this immature silver golem core. All of these have to be useful to soone who literally builds golems." Walker stepped in to the chaos that was the high forge.
Everywhere there was soone or sothing moving. The dwarves were yelling and following multiple orders at once. Neither Gil nor Walker could tell how any of them knew what to do over the noise. The only thing they could tell was there there were many dwarves organizing the many repair projects needed for the city.
"What are you standing around for!? If you have a job get to it, if not get out!" One dwarf holding a stack of papers shouted at Walker and Gil to get them to move again. They had beco caught up in the dights and sounds of the main area of the high forge that they were frozen in place.
"Where is the workshop of the golden builder Grey?" Walker spoke after regaining his mind.
"Grey? There. Now scoot!" The dwarf was in a rush and pointed out a large doorway that any golem could fit through. The main floor was mostly for processing leaving areas that branched off in to the workshops and apprentice areas.
"Back there is insane. I don't know how they knew where they are going r what they are doing." Gil was still looking back stunned as the two entered the large passageway and ca face to face with a massive ss.
"No! I said you needed to get the illusion thread from a night weaver. This is from a sun weaver. How do you expect to teach you a thing if you haven't even studied enough to know the difference in these materials." There was a spool of red and yellow hued thread thrown on to a table as a younger dwarf rushed away in fear.
The man that had yelled was familiar. He was the Grey that they had been told about and they were officially going to et him.
"Why are you here and what do you need? I am working on a new golem and need absolute silence." Grey saw the two and was unhappy that he was going to be interrupted again. Walker and Gil knew that this was due to the failure of the apprentice not knowing the proper materials. However, they were still a little annoyed at the attitude.
"We are here to offer you so things we have found on our journeys. So materials that may be of use, that is if you want to see them?" Walker left it more mysterious on purpose. He wanted the golem builder to want them around instead of buying the cores then pushing them away.
"Hmm? I sent my apprentices out for all I need right now. What could you have that is worth my ti?" Grey was fiddling with so parts and while they two watched assembles a small golem mouse that he added a small mana gem to. Hos deft hand released it to run in circles in only a few monts.
"We have so golem materials you may like. We thought you would be interested in golem cores. If not then we will see ourselves out." Gil took the lead with a high and mighty tone. It led Grey to believe that the materials would be sold to soone else if not him.
"Show what you brought. If it isn't worth the ti I will send you to play with the broken golems." Grey was much more focused now than just a few monts ago.
