Chapter 862 862 Wolfe's Clone

Wolfe focused for a moment before using a combination of Earth and Air magic to create a golem that looked like him in his winter ghillie suit, with the face hidden, for ease of construction. It was a tall and shaggy golem, simple in construction, but solid with nimble hands, and easy movement, thanks to the hollow core and supplementary air magic.

"That should work. Will it be working mostly in the wilderness? I would assume so, with this appearance. If that is the case, I would suggest that you ask your witches to assist you with some disguise and illusion spells. The greatest advantage of an assistant is their ability to be unobtrusive, so they don't interrupt the work of others.

If you allow this one to completely blend into the forest, it could perform its duties without interrupting the farmers or the woodcutters." The Assistant suggested.

Wolfe didn't have the heart to tell the man that this was a soldier's uniform. His ideas would be excellent for the intended purpose, but it would not be farmers or woodcutters that it was interrupting.

The assistant pointed to the tablet that it had brought. "Now, if you inscribe these layers in the indicated order, filling in the deliberate gaps, you should be able to bring the golem to autonomous life. I suggest filling it with only the smallest portion of a personality and memories needed to perform its work. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

The more that you add, the more difficult the later layers become, and the less mana efficient the spell becomes. A powerful golem drawing large amounts of mana is a disruptive force anywhere it goes, as the mana gathering will alarm animals and alert both Magi and Witches to its presence.

That can lead to disrupted spells and annoyed neighbours. Especially the Fae. They get quite annoyed when powerful golems approach their homes, as it disrupts the natural balance of mana, and feels like a buzzing in their mana sense."

Wolfe hadn't known that about the Fae, but it would explain why they found him so easily. He always had powerful defensive magic active, so they would be able to actually hear him in a way, simply because he was nearby.

With that in mind, Wolfe filled the golem with only a basic personality, and the memories that his mind counted as social etiquette or politics. It would know who was an enemy, and how to behave in most situations.

The rest of its memories would fill in as it operated.

The house had been fixed since the last time that they were here, and the tea tasted fresh, not stored, so there were other staff active who had those skills.

Making a full staff would not be an easy task, Wolfe realized. You needed to know the skills that you wanted to give to the golem, so he wouldn't be able to give them the skills of professional craftsmen, he would have to teach the craftsmen how to make the assistants if he wanted that.

The golem that Wolfe had just made looked around for a moment, turning its veiled face from side to side as it took in the situation.

"Good morning." Priya greeted it.

"Good morning, Miss Priya. You are looking as lovely as ever." It replied with Wolfe's voice and a flirty tone.

"You broke it." Cassie laughed, which made the Golem tilt its head, confused.

The Assistant smirked and winked at Wolfe. "The Golem was built using his personality as a base. Most people will use a blank template for personality, and rely on the guidance. It makes for a dull assistant, but it avoids the pitfalls of the assistant picking up the personal preferences and idiosyncrasies of the creator."

"So, the Golem likes the same women that Wolfe does because it's basically Wolfe's personality replicated. That makes sense, but given Saint Noxus' history with women, it could cause some issues." Cassie noted with a heavy dose of sarcasm.

Ella did her best to disguise a laugh as a cough.

"Whatever we do, we must not teach the Succubi about this spell."
