You can’t help, or you won’t?” My expression darkened slightly.
“Deek…” Pait tried to caution as I took a step forward.
I could seriously say that 90% of this trip had been planned specifically for Terra. If Jespain couldn’t remake her body, then this was all just a waste of ti and effort in my mind. That soured my mood considerably. If he was just going to hold back information because of so trade secrets, I was no longer going to be polite.
“It’s not that I don’t want to help!” He panicked slightly, waving his hand. “It’s that the body as you describe it is even outside of this workshop’s ability!”
“I thought you were the best golem workshop on the continent?” I demanded.
His face turned red. “I stand by those words, but the golems we make here are still just golems. They don’t look human, let alone are certified for combat! Even this current body is a marvel to . Most of those tals and alloys I’ve never even seen before. Her strength could tear apart even my strongest defensive golem. As for making her appear human, anybody I made at the size would be as brittle as glass, and the appearance would be doll-like and skin deep.
“Terra is a sentient being, and the body constructed from her was indistinguishable from a real body. I can’t even imagine how to make sothing harder than a rock, but still soft to the touch. As for being sexually functional, if I could do that, you think I’d waste my ti in this lab when I could be… ahem… I an to say that such a technology doesn’t exist anymore.”
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from . If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
“Any more?” I caught onto his slip imdiately, and I could see his face turn slightly white. “You’re saying there was a ti that such technology existed? You said that this technology ca from a dungeon, right? Which dungeon? Where?”
“That…” He started to look sheepish. “Such things are trade-”
“I don’t care about trade secrets!” I snapped.
“You’re out of line.” The esre diplomate cut in, only for Pait to grab his arm and stop him from stepping between us, despite only coming up to the workshop master’s stomach.
I softened my expression, seeing the fear in the apprentice’s eyes. “I just want to give the woman I love everything she deserves. If you help , I’ll give you everything I have on our golem construction. We both know that you have just as much to gain as I do.”
“Master…” Terra spoke softly, but my eyes were locked on the workshop master.
His expression was filled with temptation, but then it was followed by regret. “The lore in question was provided to us by the soothsayer. It was lore she discovered in the Abyss, and there is no more like it. The Abyss is a lore eater. It consus lore throughout ti and space. That ans that the lore found there was unique and could have co from anywhere, possibly Shie Gescar, or possibly sowhere else. Plus, the lore is difficult to understand. Even I’ve only been allowed to look upon it once, and I barely gained any insight.”
So, that was it. They didn’t have a ans of constructing a new body for Terra. They seed to be better at building AI and making finer and more utilitarian golems, all issues we had with our golems, but it only went that far. However, all wasn’t lost. The last thing he said brought particular interest.
“This lore…” I leaned forward. “Where is it?”
