Chapter 220: Bee-lated Improvements
Belissar smiled as the First of the Fifth and her two daughters came over to help with the golem construction, though it turned out they couldn’t do much with the actual construction. The bees’ instincts indicated that they should complete the Fourth of the Seventh’s golem solely using wax from breeze or nomadic bees. The slime queen, the First of the Fifth’s Seventh Daughter apparently, could build wax golems incredibly quickly but only with her own wax, which was actually a kind of solidified honey slime. Belissar wasn’t sure if or how it was different from regular beeswax, but it was certainly heavier than the breeze wax so they decided it would be best not to mix it in.
As such, construction was limited to Belissar’s spell bees and however many breeze and nomadic bees the Fourth of the Seventh’s hive had raised. Still, the Seventh Daughter was happy to share about her own construction, noting how using her slime honey naturally imbued the wax with her mana. Belissar took that to heart and started having the spell bees merge into the wax as they placed it.
Belissar could only work on the golem for a short time each day before he started running out of mana, however, so the work came to an end fairly quickly. Belissar glanced at the queens with him and nodded to himself. This would be a good opportunity to start on a new project.
“Hey, Fourth of the Seventh, First of the Fifth, could you come here for a moment? I want to show you something.”
The two queens danced immediately salutes and flew to his side. He looked up at the grove overhead and the Bee Apartment up in its canopy. He focused on the apartment in particular and the Tower responded to his will.
