Walker gathered his energy and stood up again, He was a little wobbly on his feet since he could still feel the backlash from constantly putting out mana to manipulate the ice. He stopped using the golem body like a back rest since he had stood up and stored it away completely. He went to each piece of the limbs and did the same until he finally went to the crater the king was so intrigued by.
He found that the crater had broken in to a silver vein that had a lot of strange silver balls around it. Walker didn't even hesitate to use the all around appraisal skill to see what it was all about.
' Silver skinned worm egg
The steel skinned worm is aptly named steel due to the ores it has mixed within its' body through its' life. The silver skinned worm is a much rarer species of steel skinned worm that has only ever fed on silver. One out of a thousand eggs will survive incubation to then slowly grow from the size of a normal earth worm to a massive silver skinned worm. Unlike normal steel skinned worms that shed when their outer skins begin to rust the silver skinned worms will shed very fine layers of tarnished silver skin. Raising a silver skinned worm is considered a great honor and show of wealth to any dwarf.'
"They only survive one in a thousand eggs. That is really tough…" Walker was amazed that such a species was so rare. However he remembered that Onyx would never have even hatched if he hadn't been exposed to light elemental mana properly.
"There have only been three in the last two hundred years and this mine could feed one for half of its' life at least. I will be keeping that golems' body for these possible silver skinned worm beauties. I will make it work your while to carry out the silver ore I am about to mine. Take your rest." The king was smiling like a crazy person. The inner miner within him had become fixated on the silver and possible pet that would make him the most prominent king let alone dwarf in the entire kingdom for at least a hundred years.
Gil watched the interaction and witnessed the look of worry come over Walkers' face. "Just let him be. He seems like he has boundless energy like a certain alchemical brawler we know." Remey glared at Gil but remained focused on the colorless slime body parts she had begun to gather from the ground.
She completely ignored Gil as she brought them to Walker who was able to store them away since some of the parts had been frozen and completely destroyed. The only properties left would have to be discovered by Remey.
"I want to try and figure out what made that thing work. It had no elemental affinity like the other slimes but it still had its' own mana to use skills and communicate with that slime breeder." Remey had a feeling that the slime body was able to use and put out all forms of elemental mana which would make it the best possible stabilizer for very reactive potion ingredients.
"If it could do that why was it only using those skills? The other slimes had much better than that...It might not be a slime that can possibly exist without being specifically made by a slime breeder. Think about it, the purple and yellow slimes can probably come to being naturally. But a colorless slime? No chance." Walkers' theory gained nods from Gil and Remeu who were both coming to a similar conclusion.
"Midnight, what are you dragging?" Remey noticed that Midnight was lulling at something round and silver.
"That's the golems' head. It must have fallen off without the slime to hold it together. Man, it looks so weird. It never had eyes or a brain or anything. It was just a weird head shaped ball of silver." Gil poked at the head with the end of his bow curiously.
" I wonder if there is anything unique about it?" Walker was very curious about the golems' head. It was strangely smaller than it had been on the golem as if it had shrunk and condensed somehow after being defeated.
'Condensed silver golem head
The lost head of an immature silver golem. It is partially hollow on the inside making it perfect for armor. Only a skilled forge master has the proper ability to turn it in to a nearly unbreakable helm. The silver condensed to a significant toughness and runes can easily be layered upon it to lighten the weight to nearly zero. With proper care, the golem head can be fused with a mana gem to store mana gathered from the air.'
Walker read this out and all four of them thought about this with one person in mind. "Do you think Su wants to wear a helm?" Gil looked at Walker with a wide grin.
"Even if she doesn't we need to find a forge master to finish it so we can use it when we need to. Protecting someones' head in battle can really make a difference." Remey could only remember all the times she had hit a monster in the head with her fists and knew that this was a huge safety boon for the party.
"The wandering blacksmith...have we ever actually asked him what system he has? He can use runes and make mana crystals which I have never seen a normal blacksmith do." Gil was running through all the memories he had of the blacksmiths they had met.
"Hey king, can blacksmiths use runes and make mana crystals along with craft with any materials?" Remey didn't hesitate to shout the questions at the king of the deep caves who was busy digging through stones and silver.
