The last stop for Allen and his party today was the automaton workshop.
The person in charge of the Umbrella automaton, Ross Geller, had been waiting with his subordinates when he saw the giant ship descend, which was when they visited the Muggle Magic Chemical Factory. Apart from being an employee of the Umbrella, he was also a senior Allen fan.
Ross Geller obviously attached great importance to the promotional video today. His brown hair was fixed with hair gel and styled. Coupled with his somewhat long face, he looked like a burning torch. However, it did not match his tall and strong image. When Ross welcomed them, everyone felt that the speed of his speech was too slow and clear. It was as if he had rehearsed it a few times in his mind before reciting it mechanically. His gaze was also on his favorite star player from time to time.
This successfully made everyone unable to help but want to quickly complete the final observation.
"To save time, Dr. Geller, please bring the few machines shown today up and let's start." Hermione urged. She heard the already relaxed and fat Foggy mumbling that he wanted to beat Ross up after hearing his tone...
"Oh, okay... Miss Granger..." Ross Geller's train of thought was interrupted and seemed to be a little stuck. It took him a long time to remember what the next order should be. He led everyone to the interior of the workshop and came to the outer ring of a huge carved stone ring. The stair-like outer ring formed an auditorium just like the new dueling ground in Hogwarts. Of course, the scale was much smaller.
In front of the group, stone tablets engraved with ancient magic runes stood upright and supported a similarly carved stone vault, forming a circular area. The stone ring was made up of seven stone arches, each of which was thirteen feet tall. Between a few of the stone arches, there were curtains hanging, blocking people's line of sight. Otherwise, they would have been able to see what was inside.
Allen and Hermione could not help but frown at the scene that looked similar to the place in the Department of Mystical Affairs of the Ministry of Magic. However, facing the bookish Ross Geller, they did not explain anything to him.
"I believe everyone is quite familiar with the Mr. Skillful Hands that I once developed. As everyone knows, golems are automatic devices built with magic power. They are the perfect combination of fine handmade and complex magic. They are puppets controlled by sorcerers' magic. The process of creating a golem usually involves the use of powerful magic power and alchemy... After Hogwarts float in the air, the magic overflowing from the energy core makes it easier for us to create these alchemy products than before." When Ross Geller talked about his profession, his previous incoherent speech improved a lot. His originally slow speech now sounded a lot smoother. "Mr. Skillful Hands has only brought out a small part of the potential of these products. I believe that the real use of golems should be in battle. All golems are essentially lifeless, so on the other hand, they will not be affected by morale and pain. Magic that causes blindness, paralysis, soul-seizing curse, poisoning, and other conditions are ineffective against them. On the other hand, magic or vampires that absorb life cannot heal themselves by sucking their blood... On the other hand, their bodies can be carved with different magic runes according to the actual needs to adapt to different combat needs. In short, I believe that they can eventually replace us sorcerers at the forefront of the battle."
Having said that, Ross waved his wand in the direction of the stone ring. The curtains hanging under the stone dome were revealed, revealing the four mechanical creatures within. Under the control of a few of Ross' subordinates, they began to move towards the center of the venue. These golems created by the adepts, other than the fact that they were all humanoid, unlike Mister Nimble Hands, there was almost no similarity between them. However, one could still roughly identify the materials used to make them.
"These combat golems are the most practical among the seven models that we have chosen. They are quite tenacious in battle, and their bodies are unusually strong under the effect of the magic runes. They will not be easily damaged." Ross pointed at the magic runes and carvings on the golems. "They are also safe enough. As they do not have real intelligence, they will not do anything without the owner's command. However, like Mr. Skillful Hands, they will clearly carry out some simple orders. As long as the golem is within 70 feet of its creator, it can be seen and heard, and the owner can give it orders. If it does not receive a new order, the golem will do its best to complete the last order it received. However, if it is attacked, it will automatically counterattack unless the owner orders it to stop. When the owner is not around, he can also give some orders to the golem in advance to control its actions. The owner can also order the golem to listen to the orders of others. This person can also use this method to hand over the control of the golem to others. However, in any case, the owner can actually regain control of his golem at any time, and it will only listen to his orders. "
The golem that was wet and looked like mud had the body of a humanoid creature. Its muscles and limbs were relatively strong, and its body was covered with magic runes, which made it look even more uncomfortable. It was not wearing anything except for the dragon leather around its waist and the armor with metal plates. It seemed that due to its structure, it could not carry too much weight like the other golems. It did not know if its mouth, which had a shallow mark on the mud, could speak and make sounds like Mr. Skillful Hands. This thing that looked a little crotch moved slowly and had a clumsy gait. When it moved, it would leave wet and dirty footprints behind.
The other golem that was carved out of solid rock looked much more impressive. It had a humanoid body made of stone and was about three meters tall. Unlike the clay golem, its body seemed to be able to be molded according to its creator's will. This golem was carved into the form of armor similar to the guardian statues of the Hogwarts, but it looked much stronger. The stone breastplate did not look like mud. It was engraved with more complex and special patterns that had more defensive effects. There were also some special designs for the stone limbs. This made this battle golem look like a terrifying opponent. It was strong and powerful, and difficult to hurt.
Compared to the other three golems that were tall and strong, the third golem was about the size of an ordinary human. In fact, it looked like a ghoul. It was stitched together with the limbs of various magical creatures to form a humanoid figure. It was wearing the clothes that the creator of this place had prepared for them. Currently, it was only wearing a pair of pants to show off its centipede-like wounds. It did not carry any weapons. When it stood on its own, it was less than two meters tall. Although it kept letting out a hoarse hiss, it did not seem to be able to speak. When it moved, its steps were stiff, as if it could not control its body. However, its overall speed was much faster than the clay golem and the golem. As it moved, its body emitted a rotting smell, causing the audience to frown.
The most eye-catching of all was the metal golem that was about 3.7 meters tall. The golem's body was made of metal, and it looked a little like the golems. However, the armor on its body seemed to have been put on piece by piece. Its facial features and details were much smoother than those of the golems. Its breastplate was imprinted with the symbol of Harris' Omniscient Eyes, and it held a strange double-headed sword in its hands. Although the metal golem had an exquisite mouth, it did not make any other sound along the way. Its steps were heavy, but compared to the other three golems, it was much smoother. It did not seem to be moving at full speed. However, due to the material it was made of, it was not light. Every step it took caused the ground to tremble slightly.
"They are the spellcasters' most loyal bodyguards. They can use some spells and durable bodies stored in them to protect their owners. From the moment they were created, we were able to associate them with a special amulet. After that, they will treat the wearer of the amulet as their owner. They will protect and follow the wearer of the amulet anywhere unless they are specifically ordered not to. Also, according to Miss Granger's instructions …" Ross Geller took out a pendant. Under the sunlight, the pendant with the symbol of Omniscient Eye seemed to reflect a bright light. "We injected this ability into the pendant of Harris's Bank. We also placed a variant of the Mantos Spell in the golem's body so that it can use a method similar to a door key to teleport itself to the owner of the pendant. Uh, at that time, controlling the distance between the golems was more difficult than we thought. Several employees were injured when the golems suddenly appeared beside them. Fortunately, this problem was solved in the end."
"Ahem …" Percy faked a cough to remind Geller to pay attention to the way he spoke. Allen, on the other hand, stared at the golems. He liked to be particular, so the only one that caught his eye was his metal golem.
"Good, very spirited! Now, please show us the abilities of these golems and introduce them to us. Mr. Geller, please introduce the characteristics of each golem. " Allen raised his right hand and pointed at the first golem that looked like mud. "Let's start with this one."
