Chapter 1425 1425. Surprise Host

"The craftsmanship of these golems is very high." Ignus came out of nowhere flanked by a few dwarves that had been trying to convince him to help them in their forging.

"Indeed, I believe these would make some very interesting sparring partners for my warriors." Mordant saw the potential that Ignus also saw. However, they both saw these as something akin to toys.

"I know you two have seen the guards that are just dwarven golems. There are also scouts, underwater golems, mining golems, and more. They are perfect when the situation may be too dangerous or unknown for living scouts. But where they become interesting is when they have a golem driver or an elemental spirit controlling them."

"You're saying that these can be controlled through more than just rune carved cores." Ignus found this amazing. This was more advanced than the foreign within his village. The golems may be weak in comparison, however, they had potential that he could not ignore.

"There's a dragon golem that was made using the true spirit forging. It can breathe flames, attack with claws, and bite just like a dragon. It is too heavy to fly but it was only a copy of a dragon physique. I believe that it could become better when better runes are researched. The fire spirit has complete control over it unless it is not dwelling inside. Then it can be controlled by myself or others." Walker knew that the dragon golem could only be controlled by certain people for safety. But the fore spirit wouldn't let that happen anyways.

"We will see it inside then. It will be very important for us to understand the limits of what pride it can bring to the dragon race." Mordant was sure that Ignus felt the same. They had to ensure that such a creation was not mocking them.

"I promise you will be just as impressed by it. The spirit that controls it has sparred with Midnight a little. There were some decent materials used to make it tougher and have a better control of fire. Specifically, materials related to a cyclops."

Ignus's head whipped around to look right at Walker, "You found one alive!?"

"No, just the remaining parts of one. They were sued to make the golem better. Specifically, its core. No need to worry that a cyclops could be anywhere around. From what I know they are still very extinct." This was just the fate of the cyclops, nothing that seemed to be avoidable or controllable.

"Hmm, I see. Then it is of no issue. My predecessors once dealt with such monsters. They were not stronger in the use of flames. However, they were very resistant and did not perish easily." This seemed to be a topic that would not be wise to pursue. Therefore, Walker searched to change the subject.

"I can see you have developed quite the following on your way from the mage tower to here." The dwarves around seemed to pretend that they were not here to bother them. Unfortunately for them, Ignus and Mordant had reached a line.

"They have followed us since we left the elemental floors. Some even came looking but were held back by the guards. I can praise the guards that captured them. I prefer not to be bothered by their greed. I will not be helping them win a single competition. My flames will be needed in my own creations." Ignus was planning to have the wandering blacksmith's blueprints for his own armor later. His dragonkin would forge it while he heated the materials.

'',

"As I also said, I will not show favor to anyone. My flames will rot away any materials you have. I will help only those that show outstanding talent with darkness affinity materials. I may even invite them to my village." Mordant had a slightly different approach.

"You want to steal away a blacksmith to come and work with your dragonkin? Should I take it, they will go to your village after learning in the crafting guild how to true spirit forge equipment?" Walker saw the intentions of Mordant clearly. Ignus nearly slammed his fist down in annoyance at missing such an obvious chance.

"I can't say those are bad ideas. They will make the bonds between you and Genesis stronger. Just make sure you can sponsor them with the proper materials and help them when they need it. I know they may not end up being as powerful as a dragon. Just keep that in mind." Walker wanted the best for everyone. Therefore, he was not opposed to such sponsorship happening. As long as it was in the best interest of everyone.

"If you wish for us to do so, then I may also consider an outstanding talent as one that may receive the honor of visiting my village. Any blacksmith that sees the true fires of the volcano may find themselves inspired. It would be their honor." Ignus covered his desire with high words but they were easily seen through.

"Brother, I can hear things getting louder inside." Onyx had been pleasantly enjoying the conversation. He found the insights very interesting and was using it as a teaching lesson for when he would be able to represent the abyssal serpents.

"We can't miss the start. This is the most I have ever heard the wandering blacksmith talk at once. He must be really excited to see what people come up with." Walker lost a little of his standing while saying this and rushing in. However, Ignus knew the strength in crafting that the wandering blacksmith had. It was well worth the rush to see him speak and begin a major competition.

"I understand that many expected the most esteemed blacksmith to be standing upon this stage. Unfortunately, he will be participating and creating a set of forging tools for the best blacksmith creation. You will have to deal with me." The king of the deep caves showed off his air as king in front of everyone. He was the surprise host of the crafting competition.
