Pioneer Wizard's Notebook

[Fossils turned into mud], this is the direction of alchemy, the basic sorcery that Linde is prioritizing for himself.

Using the penetrability of magic, mud runes are constructed inside rocks, altering their physical properties in a short period of time.

Using this magic, he could mold rocks into various shapes like clay, quickly building small shelters.

Even in dangerous environments, you can ensure your safety immediately.

[Fossilized Mud] is divided into two parts: mud melting and shaping.

Linde knew very well that building houses was only its most basic application.

Its future development potential is no less than that of [trait mutation] and [bloodline modification].

Just like right now, there is a problem that must be solved in creating the golem.

How can you make a pile of hard rocks move like flesh and blood without damaging themselves?

The answer is given by the statement: "Fossils are mud."

Lind chose this magical regression, and spiritual light shone before his eyes.

A vast amount of knowledge flooded his mind once again, reminding him of the power he once possessed.

"Phew~"

Endure the pressure from the spiritual realm.

Linde took a deep breath, walked to the sandstone city wall, and placed his hand on it.

With his current magical power, he is far from being able to melt and reshape mud to build an entire eight-meter-high city wall.

But it's not a big problem; Lind plans to transform the city walls into golems, allowing them to build themselves.

The magic transformed into fine threads, seeping into this small section of the city wall through the point of contact between the palms.

The rune construction of "Fossils Turned into Mud".

The originally hard, gray-black surface of the sandstone block became visibly rounded, creating a hollow inward.

Linde placed the Earth Crystal inside.

The surface of this crystal had already been engraved with dense runes.

The void shrank and disappeared, and the Earth Crystal was transported to the very center of the city wall.

Lind continued working, magical threads wrapping around the crystal surface, activating the runes, and spreading outwards from them.

Thanks to the assistance of [Fossils Turned into Mud], the inscription of runes inside the sandstone city wall went relatively smoothly.

The neural network was quickly constructed within this small section of the city wall.

Just as Linde was about to rest after exhausting his magic, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

A will emanated from the depths of the earth.

Spirit of the Earth!

Linde had previously signed a demon field contract with the spirit of the earth through [Earth Vein Transformation].

The other party immediately showed a friendly attitude and offered extra discounts to locals.

Now, through the connection of the Earth Crystal, the Earth Spirit has reappeared to help him.

The construction of neural networks became incredibly smooth.

Linde originally used most of his magic power to complete the construction of the city wall runes, which was less than ten meters long.

But now, in less than an hour, the entire city wall, which is over 100 meters long, has been engraved with runes.

The consumption of magic power has been greatly reduced, and the resistance inside the rock has almost completely disappeared.

It took half a day, just before the sun was about to set.

Lin De successfully engraved the neural network of Fu Wenhua into the interior of the 400-meter-long city wall.

Now, it's time for the acceptance test.

"Bring the stones over!"

"Linde shouted."

At his command, the residents who had been standing by watching from a distance quickly pulled carts to transport a heavy pile of sandstone blocks to the foot of the city wall.

Then, to the astonishment of the residents...

A giant-like arm suddenly emerged from the surface of the city wall, grabbing a block of sandstone and stuffing it into its body.

The sandstone blocks were incorporated into the interior, causing the height of the top of the city wall to increase significantly.

"M-Sir! What is this?"

"Don't worry, just like the demon fields outside, this is a wall golem that I created."

Lind explained, reassuring the residents.

Even so, the residents still loosened their throats and chose to kneel down, bowing repeatedly to him and the city wall.

Just like when he first met Mada, he recited a prayer about the Son of the Sun.

Linde didn't pay attention; due to the changes during this period, many strange rumors about him were circulating among the residents.

Since it didn't have much impact, he didn't interfere.

Linde turned his attention back to the city wall, figured out its situation, and opened the wizard's journal to make a note of it.

Name: Wall Golem

[Type: Extraordinary Creation]

[Description: A towering golem formed from sandstone walls fused with earth crystals, possessing the ability to self-build and heal, and to deform within a small area.]

【Effect ① Growth and Healing: Allows for the fusion of stones from the outside, expanding the size of the city wall; the wall can self-repair when damaged.】

【Effect ② Golem Shapeshifting: Changes its shape over a small area, allowing it to carry heavy objects and block enemies.】

The effect of the wall golem was exactly what Lind had expected.

Residents no longer need to spend time and effort moving sandstone blocks to the wall to build them up.

It can quickly build walls by consuming stones and cement.

The internal earth crystal serves as the energy core, slowly absorbing the earth's magic from deep underground and storing it within daily.

Even without Lind's magical control, the wall golem can autonomously complete the construction of the wall according to the instructions engraved inside.

If the wall is destroyed by the enemy, it can repair itself as long as the core is intact.

As for the deformation of effect ②, due to the sheer size of the city wall, it can only deform within a very small range at present.

It's roughly about the size of a rocky arm that grows out; the wall itself cannot be moved.

Lind was not disappointed.

The Wall Golem has great potential for development.

In the future, the wall materials will be continuously replaced and the internal core will be added.

Sooner or later, it will transform into a colossal giant, rise from the ground, and carry its castle to conquer this land!

Now, the towering body of the Wall Golem will protect the manor from the attack of the White Bear King.

"Move all the sandstone blocks over here! And deliver the prepared cement as well!"

Linde gave the order.

Under Hibbert's command, residents and soldiers continuously brought stones, gazing up in awe at the massive city wall that had grown before them.

Three days later, all the stones that could be collected directly from the quarry had been moved.

A towering, eight-meter-high walled golem covers the entire manor and residential area, standing majestically on the earth.

A sense of security and accomplishment welled up in Linde's heart.

After inspecting the city wall, he headed to the blacksmith's shop in the manor.

News came from the dwarves that the craftsman Sobo was about to finish forging the white steel knight's sword.

Approaching the blacksmith's shop, Lin De did not immediately go inside, but instead looked around the open space outside with surprise.

Large military equipment and weapons are piled up here right now.

The wooden base is sturdy and triangular, with wheels at the bottom for movement. A long wooden pole connecting the ammunition pouch hangs down behind, with a winch and rope installed below.

There were three long-armed catapults in total.

There were also four ballistae with a four-meter reach, equipped with winches and ratchet, next to them.

The four dwarves waiting outside explained, "The White Bear King came because of the Stormwind Clan. The clan's soldiers are seriously wounded, and unfortunately, we cannot offer any assistance."

"These weapons were made from the remaining materials in the warehouse after we finished our auxiliary work on Sobo. We believe they will be of some help in the upcoming battles."

Lind did receive the message.

But at the time, I was so engrossed in rune research that I didn't pay attention.

He never expected that these ordinary dwarves could also create surprises for him, producing so many large-scale military weapons in just three days.

"Well done!"

With these weapons, Lind was more confident about the upcoming battle.
