After the first all-black steel construct was activated, Feng Chou conducted a preliminary test on it in the tower, and all of its performance indicators met Qiankun Pagoda's expectations.
After the test was successful, Feng Chou threw the sample to Qiankun Pagoda for training, and he once again plunged into the trial production of the golem.
The most terrible power in this world was always the strange magic. The improved black steel construct always had a great shortcoming in terms of magic, and it was easy for a mage to find a pattern to solve it with special magic.
This was also the reason for the emergence of the golem. The mage's biggest enemy would always be the mage.
In order to solve this shortcoming, Feng Chou had to have a type of golem that was immune to magic.
The reason why Feng Chou chose the clay golem as the first type of golem to trial was that he hoped to test the general performance of the earth elemental golem series.
He hoped to discover and understand the advantages and disadvantages of the earth elemental golem through the production of the clay golem.
There were many types of earth elemental golems, and Feng Chou could only master three types at present: clay golem, stone golem, and steel golem.
The stone golem was actually an advanced version of the clay golem. The material performance of this golem was actually very similar to that of the clay golem, but the texture was tougher. When the average person touched it, they would think it was stone, but in fact, if you were strong enough, you would find that the body material of the stone golem could actually be squashed and rolled like the clay golem, and it was no less tough than the clay golem.
Like the Clay Golem, the Stone Golem had extremely high physical strength, but it also had the same immunity and recovery ability as the Clay Golem. Like the Clay Golem, even if it was split open or smashed, it would quickly recover.
The same was true for the steel golem.
Unlike the world of cultivation, there were no metal elements in this world. According to the rules of this world, metal was also an earth element, a special branch of the earth element.
Therefore, the soul of the earth element could also control the metal body.
Of course, in order to allow the soul of the earth element to better control the metal body, the body of the steel golem was actually a special magic alloy.
In order to make it easier to control, the hardness of this magic alloy was not high. It was almost equivalent to ordinary low-carbon steel, but it had excellent toughness and ductility.
It wasn't that Feng Chou couldn't use better magic alloys to create the Adamantine Golems. However, stronger magic alloys required stronger souls and more advanced techniques. They weren't things that Feng Chou could create right now.
The Steel Golem was stronger than the Stone Golem, but there was a limit. The Challenge Rating of the Stone Golem was Level 12, while the Steel Golem was Level 14.
Through various tests on the clay golems, Feng Chou discovered that earth elemental golems had a common flaw, and that was that they consumed too much energy.
Feng Chou's Advanced Magic Laboratory had two sources of energy. One was the large-scale Magic Permanence spell, which continuously absorbed magic energy from the natural environment. However, there was a limit to the amount of energy that Magic Permanence could absorb from the natural environment. If the limit was exceeded, it would become a dead magic area.
The second source of energy came from the imprisoned elemental creatures.
Through these imprisoned elemental creatures, the Magic Laboratory could continuously absorb energy from the Elemental Plane.
Apart from the daily consumption of the Magic Laboratory, this energy could only be used to recharge the daily activities of the two clay golems. Only one Stone Golem could be kept alive, and one Steel Golem couldn't be kept alive!
If magic gems were used to feed the golems, even a Legendary Mage would be eaten by this group of gluttons.
In fact, the earth elemental golems were originally designed for Mage Towers.
In the short term, it was impossible for Feng Chou to have a Mage Tower, so he could only regretfully give up on these three earth elemental golems.
After eliminating the earth elemental golems, there was only one option left for Feng Chou — the necromancy golems.
…
The investigation team led by Aktina took less than two weeks to travel from Clarence to Casablanca by boat.
The reason why they didn't use a portal to go directly to Casablanca was that in the holy land of Sovann, the God of Knowledge, the fluctuations of a level-nine spell such as a portal would attract the special attention and investigation of the Church.
If they were discovered by Sovann's Church that a group of high-level Vampires and Drow elves had sneaked into Casablanca, this group of dark creatures would definitely become meat buns beaten to dogs.
After arriving at Casablanca, the investigation team stayed in a manor located in the northeast of Casablanca under the arrangement of the person in charge of the Clarence Family in Casablanca.
This manor was not far from Feng Chou's Wood Manor.
…
There were a total of two types of necromancy golems. One was the flesh golem, and the other was the bone golem.
To put it bluntly, the flesh golem was actually a type of Death Knight with magic immunity characteristics.
To create a flesh golem, one first needed the corpse of a powerful creature that was at least level-nine.
The golem master would use a special magic ritual to deal with the corpse in the early stages. In this magic ritual, the corpse would not only be strengthened, but it would also be injected with a kind of magic material from the Chaos Sea. This magic material would give the corpse the chaos attribute that made it immune to any magic and supernatural forces.
After the corpse was dealt with, the golem master would install the soul crystal that imprisoned the soul into the corpse.
The next step was the crucial one. The Magician would once again hold a special magic ritual. Under the effect of this ritual, the imprisoned soul would sense the corpse, and eventually connect with the corpse's body system through the palm, thus gaining control of the body.
…
The bone golem was a variant of the flesh golem.
If the flesh golem was said to be a bag of bones, then the bone golem was a bag of bones. That's right, the bone golem was actually a kind of exoskeleton structure.
The advantages of an exoskeleton were self-evident. With the same weight, the exoskeleton structure could be ten times stronger than the inoskeleton structure of a creature. Moreover, by placing the hard bones outside, it could also greatly increase the defensive strength.
Therefore, with similar materials, the challenge rating of the flesh golem was only level-nine, while the challenge rating of the bone golem could be as high as level-twelve.
Of course, the difficulty of creating the two was completely different. For a flesh golem, as long as there was a ready-made corpse of level-nine or above, and the corpse's foundation was modified, it could be used to create a flesh golem.
On the other hand, the bone golem required the mage to modify the bones one by one, and the cultivation and joining of the muscles one by one.
The conditions for creating a bone golem were not as picky as a flesh golem. As long as it was the corpse of a creature of level-seven or above, it could be used. This was because the bone golem could be made into a very large block. By increasing the volume of the bones and the number of muscles, the golem's combat strength could be increased. This all depended on the design of the golem master.
In other words, although the bone golem was stronger and more complex than the flesh golem, its average cost was actually not more expensive than the flesh golem!
Although the bone golem was cheap and good in quality, it was relatively rare on the market. In addition to its frightening appearance and bad appearance, it was also because it was too troublesome to create.
