Chapter 128
I was sitting by the table in the Core Room of the Matata Dungeon. On the other side sits the Golem, a doll made of hardened yellow-brown mud with an... abstract humanoid shape. Its eyes are emerald-colored marbles, but they look no different from normal eyes. "He" has no mouth, and is dressed in a dark-brown robe that makes him look like an old-fashioned magician.
"Then, what is all this about?" I asked the Golem while petting the tiger-cub that had found its place on my lap. Ah, so soft... ah! This ain’t the time to be charmed! Sharpen up, sharp as a razor... sharp as Mira’s instinct for a good gamble... no, that won’t work... anyway, stay sharp!
"Yes... thank you again for listening to my pleas."
"No biggie." - Garami
Despite being a Golem, this guy’s voice is damn smooth. That’s impressive for a naturally formed Golem.
If my memory’s not failing me, Carion told me before that a natural Golem is birthed when a rock is affected with enough aether for it to act as a core for a Golem, was it? Human-made Golems make use of an artificial core, so they don’t have a will of their own, but they work smoother than the natural kind. This guy, however, is as smooth as a pearl.
"Very well. My name is Karnel Gigantes, one of the Golems that used to live on mount Gigantes, located on the continent of Luxuria." - Karnel
He’s from Luxuria... Kinda logical when you think about it. Normally he should either be from this island, the archipelago to the south, or one of the two continents. There’s no reason for people from places other than those to travel to this island. It’s more like a rest stop on the highway than anything.
"As for why I am here... correction, why I have taken the ownership of this Dungeon, is... well..." - Karnel
"You’re soft on animals?" - Garami
"...Correct. Those little ones are so cute..." - Karnel
