Chapter 61: Clay Golems
Jodon was highly efficient, delivering the materials Sunan needed the very next day. Sunan promptly directed the workers to transport the materials to the temporarily constructed laboratory, preparing to manufacture his first golem puppet.
The main material for the clay golem was clay—a soil that was sticky and contained very few sand grains, making it difficult for moisture to pass through and offering excellent plasticity.
To create a clay golem, approximately 0.5 tons of clay was required, along with a small amount of silver, crystals, and the most crucial item: a soul core.
The lowest-tier clay golem could use a gemstone as a soul core, but such golems would have extremely low intelligence and could only perform simple tasks.
For instance, they could clean a designated area, move objects, or even smash things.
In his previous life, Sunan had crafted numerous clay golems, and now, revisiting this familiar task, he quickly became adept once again.
After more than half an hour, a clay body approximately two and a half meters tall had taken shape on the spacious workbench.
Its face was somewhat square, lacking a neck, with a broad and sturdy chest. Its thick arms hung down to its knees, with short but relatively nimble fingers. The legs were only about one-third the length of its body, and its large, flat feet provided stability.
The chest of the clay golem was still open, revealing a complex array of enchanted runes within.
Sunan placed the engraved gemstone inside and closed the recess, then began to chant the activation spell.
The final step in creating a golem was to activate it, imbuing it with life.
