Walker examined the incredibly detailed blue print that Grey was writing. "You have a skill that measures things just by looking at them. My younger sister has one too. That\'s amazing. I didn\'t expect a golem builder to have it, but it does make sense." Walker knew that he was basically speaking to himself but he said it out loud anyways. 

The diagram being drawn out was already coming together and showing the cross sections and possible sizes. Walker had the feeling that the skill that Grey was using to draw detailed blueprints without any tools was much more powerful than he would expect. The simple fact that Grey could just create it and hand it out in a few minutes was enough proof of this. 

"Hmm, that\'s the outer design. I need to work on the mechanical insides. The core would be at the center and inlays for the elemental crystals along the neck. It is all pretty simple so far. I will take another day or so to get it better." Walker and Gil were already stunned with what they saw. As far as Midnight knew she was looking at a drawn sketch of herself with a few differences here and there, the quality was superb in just a few moments. 

"That was way faster than I have ever seen anyone sketch out a basic plan. Not that this could even be called basic, It\'s art." Gil had only seen such great quality drawing on walls. 

"Art? This is nothing. You saw the designs on my walls. This is all necessary to the building process. You should see the models of the insides. They are much more detailed." Grey just shook his head at them and rolled the basic diagram up for later. 

"Now I will need materials. Let\'s see if anyone can impress me and earn the right to go looking for materials." Grey stood in the middle of the work shop for his apprentices which had gone silent. Not even a single apprentice dared to move for fear that it would draw attention. 

 Grey surveyed the room for something that appeared interesting. "What are you working on there? Is that a normal golem?" Grey saw a golem that appeared to be a base of the usual patrol golems. 

The apprentice dropped his tools in shock and was scrambling to grab blue prints and drawings. "Well? Is it? Or is it now?" Walker and Gil were equally silent at Greys\' outburst. Midnight just pranced along behind them in her own world since she had been pleased by the drawing of her. 

"No, Master builder. It is my prototype for the new fire extinguishing and now slime extermination golem. It would be for the mines specifically. See, there are tanks to hold potions or water and mana powered nozzles to spay a hundred feet. The key is pressure from the moving gears." 

The apprentice was opening multiple drawings and designs to show Grey what he had accomplished. "You want this in the mines? And what of the release of the pressure when it is not being used? Or will it always spray water nonstop? Start over and fix the problem." Grey was unforgiving. He was not going to let something that could blow up in to the mines under his name. 

"Holy lord, that would have caused a cave in for sure." Gil had been warned by Walker not to use fire elemental arrows in the caves in case they caused some form of an explosion which would cause a cave in as well. 

"Exactly, it would have ruined a perfect;y good golem for no reason if I let this out." Grey made Walker and Gil double take hearing this. 

\'What about the miners\' safety and the materials lost?" Walker spoke curiously, but Grey had already moved on to the next nearby apprentice. "I think this is where the eccentric thing comes in." Waker knew that he wasn\'t going to make much more progress and just followed Grey onwards. 

"This thing is?" Grey motioned toward a strange model in the shape of a turtle shell. 

"Ehm, Master builder, this is my idea for a fortress type golem. We can build it hollow on the inside to house many small golems. If possible insect type. The shell is the shape of a turtle so that it will have high defense and can dispense its\' army anywhere. I need to work on the limbs to strengthen them to carry the shell. It costs a lot of mana but can use elemental mana crystals in spikes on the shell to draw it in." 

The apprentice spoke slowly as if they were giving themselves a pep talk as they went. Grey was completely silent while circling the model on the work table. He opened some plans for inner designs along with the suggested insect type golems for the inside to carry as a portable army. After some hmms and mhhms, Grey appeared to finally have found an answer for the apprentice.
