The Voice sighed loudly in Evin's head, before replying.
Things didn't really sit well with Evin, but there wasn't much he could do about it, so he continued. When he exited the room, he was t with a long corridor that had had a door at the right-hand side and also at the end. The latter seed to be locked, so Evin could only go through the first.
When he approached it, he heard eerie sounds of tal screeching, so he definitely knew that there was an enemy behind it.
He opened the door with a bang, and saw a hunched tallic figure with glaring red eyes turn towards him. The golem was made in the shape of a rat, and its behavior reminded Evin a lot of the mana-beasts he slew the other day. The only problem was that this one was a made of tal, making it impossible for Evin to kill it instantly.
the Voice reminded and concentrated its attacks on the golem.
Its warnings weren't really necessary, as Evin was trying his best to dodge the tal creature's attacks. Compared to the previous golem, this one's movents were much quicker and more unpredictable. It wasn't at the level of actual rats, as its body was still made of tal, but it was definitely successful in invoking the sa… feel as a live rat.
The way it struggled even with an invisible hamr constantly attacking its neck was definitely not a pleasant experience to see. The more the Voice attacked, the louder its claws scratched at the floor and the more it tried to reach Evin.
Seeing it so desperately trying to stick its tal fangs into his body, naturally, Evin focused his best to evade it. Even if Evin had his cheek healed when he was at the Infirmary, he still felt chilling pain when he thought about the rat that made a ss of his face. He definitely didn't want this one to do the sa.
But thankfully, the Voice was diligent in shoving the rat away when it got too close, making the process much easier for Evin. But it was true that the hamr wasn't doing much damage. Compared the more delicate design last ti, this one was much bulkier. Even if the Voice lodged the hamr in one of the gaps in its joints and tried to pry open the thing, it was still standing strong.
the Voice sounded excited. Evin felt worried.
With a heavy mood, Evin continued his exploration of the Labs. Contrary to his expectations, the Laboratories weren't that complicated of an area. Evin definitely expected a more maze-like structure, but things were relatively straightforward.
He explored ten more rooms in the next hour and a half, and t three Type 1-s, four Type 2-s, eight Type 3-s, and one Type 4; with each new type of the golem being an improved version of the previous one, for example, the Type 2-s solving the impossibility to control the golems that was apparent in the previous version.
But Morton's notes for the Type 3 contained a highly concerning detail in it, which greatly shook Evin's trust in king Roland.
[I don't know how the king found out about my newest experint, but he ca to offering funding for my project. In its stead, I would have to try to create a more comrcialized version of the golems I'm making.]
