Since the main control tablet was fixed on the back of the ancient iron puppet, there was no way to take it out. Therefore, he could only repair it on the shelf behind the ancient iron puppet.
"Hobson, let's leave and give Grandmaster Bennett some space!" King Gunther saw Abel focusing on the main control board, so he said to Metallurgist Hobson.
Metallurgist Hobson didn't want to leave the ladder. He was one step away from becoming an elite metallurgist. He didn't want to miss the chance to see a Grandmaster Alchemist in action.
However, he also knew that no matter if it was a pharmacist or a metallurgist, they wouldn't want others to watch them while they were refining.
Although Abel knew what Metallurgist Hobson was thinking, he didn't want him to stay. It was his first time using a Grandmaster metallurgist's ability, and it would be too embarrassing if he messed it up.
After Metallurgist Hobson and King Gunther left the giant space, only Abel and the 20 ancient iron puppets were left in it.
Abel ignited the Grandmaster Alchemist pattern inside his body, and a strand of alchemy energy emerged from his hand. This was the usual way to repair alchemy items. As long as the damage was not too big, he could use his alchemy energy to forcefully fix it.
This was not an easy process. Alchemy items were usually covered with all kinds of patterns, and the repair process required all the affected patterns to return to their original state.
Of course, if an alchemist had a deep understanding of all kinds of patterns, they could completely repair the main body of the alchemy item and then redraw the pattern on it. This was relatively simpler.
However, he didn't know much about patterns. Even if he did, he didn't think anyone would be able to recreate the patterns on the main control panel of the ancient puppet.
Therefore, he could only use the most direct method. He ignited the ability of his world stone and scanned the inside of the main control board with his power of the will. Every single pattern was memorized in a short period of time.
This was no longer the ability of a Grandmaster Alchemist, but he was the only Grandmaster Alchemist in the world. If he said this was the ability of a Grandmaster Alchemist, no one would know.
He pressed the energy of the grandmaster alchemist pattern on the main control tablet with his left hand. Although he didn't know the metallurgical formula of the main control tablet, he didn't need to know the formula since he only needed to repair the crack and not reforge it.
As the energy of the grandmaster alchemist pattern was transferred into the main control tablet, Abel could feel the main control tablet slowly softening. Judging from the speed of the softening, even if a master alchemist came to repair it, it would take years to do it, even if they used the energy of the grandmaster alchemist pattern to soften it.
The main control board was softening faster and faster, but he didn't want it to completely soften. Instead, he focused his energy around the crack.
Energy kept pouring in, but at the same time, the pattern on the main control board began to disappear.
At this moment, Abel's power of the will turned into a carving knife. After the crack on the main control board was closed, he quickly restored the pattern before it solidified.
Just as he was about to complete the repair work, he saw the array control board attached to the main control tablet. If he repaired it just like that, the vibrations might damage the main control tablet, which was the weakest part of the ancient steel puppet, again in the next battle.
Although he didn't know how to draw the magic circle on the board, he had the world stone on. With his super memory and observation ability, he could draw all the details on the board again.
After going through the memory, he knew all the patterns on the main control tablet. His grandmaster alchemist pattern energy carefully poured into the main control tablet again. This time, he used his power of the will to carve the magic circle on the main control tablet.
His carving process was carefully calculated by the world stone and the Druil soul. Although a magic circle was added to the main control board, it didn't affect the other patterns on the main control board.
For other alchemists, this would take a long time and many experiments to complete. However, with the combined analysis of the world stone and the powerful Druil soul, it became a very simple task.
He perfectly embedded a complex magic circle into the ancient pattern, and the two patterns didn't conflict with each other.
After he was done, he casually took off the magic circle board that the dwarves connected to the main control board. Although he hadn't tested it yet, his senses told him that there was nothing wrong with the main control board.
In fact, he wasn't a normal Grandmaster Alchemist. He had the help of the world stone, and his Druil soul was equivalent to a god-level soul.
This was equivalent to the dwarfs asking a god to help them analyze the ancient patterns and the added patterns, and then the alchemy grandmaster would complete the god's analysis.
"Majesty Gunther, Metallurgist Hobson, please come here!" Abel yelled.
His voice was still echoing in the giant space, and King Gunther and Metallurgist Hobson quickly walked in.
"Grandmaster Bennett, do you need any help?" King Gunther asked in a caring tone.
He didn't expect it to be done. The time was too short. It was only enough for Grandmaster Bennett to look at the ancient pattern once. He didn't even have enough time to memorize it.
"Majesty Gunther, this ancient puppet is done. I even made some small changes. Now I need to test it!" Abel smiled.
"What?" King Gunther and Metallurgist Hobson gasped at the same time. They then climbed up the ladder and wanted to see the result.
At that moment, Metallurgist Hobson had no intention of giving way to King Gunther. He just wanted to see if the ancient puppet he had studied for many years was fixed.
"Grandmaster Bennett, did you remove the manual control circle?" Metallurgist Hobson gasped as soon as he arrived beside Abel.
Although he saw that the cracks on the main control panel had disappeared, he was even more surprised that the array control panel that was specially installed to manually control the ancient steel golem was also gone.
"Metallurgist Hobson, look at this. I've drawn it on here, but I don't know much about magic circles. I just copied the pattern on this control board!" Abel waved the control board in his hand and said to Metallurgist Hobson.
Metallurgist Hobson finally saw some familiar magic circle patterns among the ancient patterns on the main control board. These magic circle patterns were mixed in with the ancient patterns, but they were very harmonious and did not affect each other.
"Grandmaster Bennett, I want to test it. If it works, the biggest weakness of the ancient puppet will be gone!" Metallurgist Hobson said in excitement.
At this moment, King Gunther also arrived. He didn't need to look at Metallurgist Hobson's expression to know it was a success.
Metallurgist Hobson couldn't wait any longer. He climbed up the ladder until he reached the head of the ancient puppet. He then opened the guard and sat inside.
"Grandmaster Bennett, let's get out of here. Metallurgist Hobson is crazy. He forgot we are still here. Let me take you away!" King Gunther saw what Metallurgist Hobson was doing, so he quickly said to Abel.
King Gunther was a rank 20 wizard. He put his hand on Abel's shoulder, and in a flash of white light, he flashed away with Abel and appeared on the ground.
Just as they appeared on the ground, the ancient steel puppet let out a deafening roar.
These sounds came from the joints of the Ancient Steel Puppet. Due to the fact that it hadn't been moved for a long time, the sound of the Ancient Steel Puppet's joints being activated was naturally shockingly loud in the huge enclosed space.
Then, the Ancient Steel Puppet moved slightly, and the iron frame behind the Ancient Steel Puppet collapsed due to this movement.
At that moment, Metallurgist Hobson finally realized what was going on. He looked around the ancient puppet, and when he saw King Gunther and Abel were safe on the ground, he made an apologetic bow.
After this gesture, King Gunther no longer had the time to think about Metallurgist Hobson's actions. His eyes were full of passion as he stared at the ancient puppet.
The ancient puppet was fixed. Grandmaster Bennett only took a short while to fix it, and the dwarves had been working on it for thousands of years.
"Grandmaster Bennett, I'll need your help to fix the rest of the ancient puppets. As for the 3 that are still intact, I'll need your help to fix them!" King Gunther bowed and requested.
"Of course, majesty!" Abel smiled.
This was not a difficult task. To be honest, it was not as troublesome as making a grandmaster's potion.
Of course, it was only fixing, not making. It was much easier for a grandmaster alchemist to fix an alchemy product.
In the following half a day, Abel began to work in the underground space. By noon, he had fixed all 20 ancient puppets.
During the entire process, King Gunther and Metallurgist Hobson were waiting outside the underground space.
In fact, this was the most important place in the Dwarf Race. Within the Dwarf Race, only a small number of Dwarves had access to this place. For most Dwarves, this place was a top secret. They had never even heard of it.
After Abel was done, Metallurgist Hobson began to test the puppets one by one.
He knew that Grandmaster Bennett was not an easy person to invite. It took him a long time to make an appointment with Grandmaster Bennett.
Therefore, Metallurgist Hobson needed to find all the possible problems while Grandmaster Bennett was still in the dwarves.
"Grandmaster Bennett, please come with me!" King Gunther turned to Abel and smiled when he saw Metallurgist Hobson testing the 15th ancient puppet.
He did not need to wait for the puppets to finish. He needed to use this time to show Grandmaster Bennett the reward of the dwarves.
King Gunther brought Abel to the deepest part of the underground space. King Gunther pressed a button, and a hole appeared on the ground.
As soon as they entered the cave, Abel noticed that there were two more ancient iron puppets.
"Grandmaster Bennett, we dwarfs should be paying you for the ancient iron puppets we can use outside, but those puppets are very important to the dwarfs. They are the foundation of our race!
We found these puppets in the same ancient sight, but they have spirits, so we can't use them! "King Gunther pointed at the puppets and said to Abel.
"Majesty Gunther, are you going to pay me with these puppets?" Abel said in surprise.
In fact, he came to help the dwarves repair the ancient steel puppets. When he first saw the ancient steel puppets, he knew that these ancient steel puppets must be very important to the dwarves, but he didn't have the intention to ask for them.
Thinking about how King Gunther and Hobson were the only Metallurgist there when they entered the huge underground space, Abel knew that it must be an important place for the Dwarves.
On top of that, the ancient puppets were super war machines that were used to charge in the frontlines of the ancient times. Their power must be terrifying. Each one of them was priceless.
Therefore, when King Gunther brought him to the 2 ancient iron puppets and said those words, he knew it was his reward.
As for the fact that he couldn't use the ancient puppets because of the existence of the spirit, it was nothing to him since he had the commander spirit.
It should be said that the Ancient Steel Golems without spirits were useless to him. He still needed to train a new manipulator, and he estimated that these artificial manipulators were modified according to the height of the Dwarves. If he wanted to control them perfectly, only the Dwarves could do so.
"Yes, Grandmaster Bennett, this is your reward!" King Gunther smiled.
King Gunther knew Abel had been buying battle forts from all over the continent. It was understandable if he only needed 1 or 2 for research, but he had been buying non-stop. Not only the dwarves, but the entire continent.
