Chapter 99: Queens Gift
The next morning, the sun peeked over the trees as workers rolled out carts filled with spider parts.
Dorgrim wiped sweat from his forehead and looked at the queen's massive corpse. Her chitin was thick, dark purple, and heavier than any ore they'd mined.
"This stuff is harder than steel," Dorgrim muttered. "We can make armor from her chest plate alone. Maybe shields from her legs."
Borin poked one of the fangs. "Think it's venomous?"
"Hope so," Caelen said. "Venom might be useful."
The entire body was brought to the workshop with help from golems and a few strong villagers. Silk still clung to the corpse. Caelen watched them clean it, but his attention drifted to the glowing crystal in his hand.
