Chapter 110: Massive Puppet
It was difficult for ordinary blacksmiths to forge weapons and armor for high tier adventurers.
Those weapons and armor were already remarkable if they only provided basic performance.
Sion's crafting skills allowed him to create weapons, armor, magic items and other equipment that could easily be used by adventurers.
"I will talk to Hera, and if she agrees, I'll help mobilize the resources."
Alfia said bluntly, "But I think there's more to it than just this, isn't there?"
She had witnessed Sion's efficiency in forging weapons.
Weapons that would take other blacksmiths three to five hours and an immense amount of Mind to forge could be finished by him in less than a minute.
This matter wasn't particularly urgent, they could've easily talked about it when she got back tonight.
But Sion still called her back.
"Actually, I'm planning to build something massive."
"It should be helpful in the black dragon extermination battle but it's resource intensive," Sion said with a smile.
"How much do you need?" Alfia asked, feeling somewhat surprised.
"Hmm, I'll probably need around 10-50 billion valis worth of magic stones." Sion tilted his head in thought.
"How much?" Alfia stared at Sion in astonishment.
Keep in mind that even a rare grimoire cost at most two to three hundred million valis, and a first tier weapon cost roughly the same amount.
Sion asked for billions of valis right off the bat, which meant he was planning to drain the savings that their two familias had accumulated over a thousand years.
"10-50 billion valis worth of magic stones," Sion repeated calmly.
"You always say things that surprise people." Alfia rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache coming on.
"When facing the black dragon, it isn't surprising that we need to make a lot of preparations," Sion shrugged and smiled.
"In that case, I'm curious. How big is this massive puppet you're talking about?" Alfia asked.
"Hmm, maybe eighty meters tall?" Sion thought for a moment and then said.
Alfia was left speechless.
In that case, it would indeed take a lot of time to prepare.
Even for the Zeus and Hera familias, billions of valis was not a small sum.
Moreover, although they were a top tier familia that had accumulated power for a thousand years, they didn't just have that many magic stones lying around in storage.
The guild should have some stock, but even they wouldn't have a limitless supply.
As for whether Zeus and Hera would agree?
The probability of them refusing was low.
After all, Sion was trustworthy and Alfia had personally endorsed him, so there would basically be no problem with securing the funding.
"I'll talk to Hera." After a moment of thought, Alfia said.
"Also, I'm really looking forward to seeing your final work."
"Then I'll leave it to you," Sion laughed and said. "Creating such a large puppet takes a lot of time, so the sooner I get the materials, the better."
"I'll try my best," Alfia nodded and left the room.
Besides Sion's request, she had plenty of other things to do.
After all, she was an executive of the Hera familia, and she had to make considerable preparations for the upcoming battle against the black dragon.
Now that the black dragon had begun its activities, every single day of delay was detrimental to humanity in this world.
Within two days at most, the two familias would officially set off on their campaign.
"With the magic stones sorted out, the next step is the construct itself," Sion murmured.
Sion wasn't entirely casual about the appearance of his constructs, but he didn't obsess over it either.
The exterior was just an appearance.
Since Sion himself could easily control their functions, the physical design only needed to be perfectly suitable for combat.
"Let's go with unit zero one." It didn't take long before Sion made his decision.
Considering that the puppet Sion created might become a living being in the future, and that it would have high compatibility with an at field.
Sion decided to design its appearance to perfectly resemble unit zero one.
With Sion's current mind capabilities, he was fully capable of perfectly replicating every single detail of unit zero one from his memories.
"Next comes the issue of the physical body."
Even billions of valis worth of magic stones could only serve as a vast energy source at most.
They couldn't be used to create a massive physical body purely out of soul matter, as the energy consumption would simply be far too great.
After all, it was going to be a full eighty meters tall, built entirely for extreme combat.
Even excluding the massive consumption required to generate soul matter.
The magic stone energy he requested would only just be enough to sustain a high intensity battle fought with all of its might.
Therefore, Sion planned to transform high density physical matter directly into soul matter to save his Mind reserves.
Ordinary materials couldn't possibly support a battle on the catastrophic scale of the black dragon.
Therefore, only the highest grade materials would suffice.
Coincidentally, Sion knew of a specific place in the dungeon that possessed a massive quantity of top grade materials.
