Capítulo 25: Level-3 Golem Technique!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next day, Marcus was called to the hall.
"Child, regarding your marriage, you have to be mentally prepared..."
Bud hesitated for a long time, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly shut his mouth.
Marcus's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that there had been a change regarding his marriage.
"Uncle Bud, tell me, what exactly happened?"
"There's news from the Anderson family. After Miss Nele looked at your picture, she felt that it didn't fit the image of the groom she had in mind, so..."
Bud's voice gradually faded while Janice grumbled from the side. "I think that fellow is too greedy. What's wrong with our Marcus? Not only is he handsome, but he's also talented and intelligent. Moreover, he's an Ivy League Academy senior now! I think they rejected you because you're a nobody in their eyes.'
Marcus didn't complain. He was very calm and even let out a sigh of relief as he didn't want to get married in the first place.
"Uncle Budd, Aunt Janice, don't worry about me. I'm fine," reassured Marcus.
"Since Miss Nele doesn't like him, why should we force him? Marcus, you can do as you please."
As soon as Bud said that, Marcus bade them farewell and left.
Janice was a little unwilling. "Husband, there's really no way—"
"Okay, this matter ends here." Bud smiled at his wife. "Marcus didn't like this marriage talk anyway. Since that's the case, there's no need to force it. Besides, what if Marcus already has someone he treasures in his heart?"
Janice's eyes lit up. "Who is it?"
"We'll find out in the future," replied Bud. "Marcus has a good eye."
The Anderson family really didn't take the Leicester family seriously.
Although the Leicester family was currently low-profile, the wealth it had accumulated wasn't something that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could touch. When they rose to power once more, everyone would find out the consequences of underestimating and disregarding a large family.
At that thought, Bud's expression gradually brightened.
Marcus hadn't walked too far, so he actually heard what Bud said in the hall thanks to his God of War Physique.
Marcus lowered his head and muttered, "Uncle Bud actually thinks that I have a girlfriend? Well, this is good. I can focus on magic wholeheartedly now."
Marcus had no dream lover, let alone a girlfriend.
However, when he thought of this, a tall and beautiful figure couldn't help but appear in his mind—Susan!
If he really wanted to start a family, he would rather choose the aloof Susan.
Marcus then slapped his head.
Now was not the time to think about this.
He had made a bet with Ken. They would use their golems to make potions in a deep mountain a week later.
Soon, Marcus walked to his room decisively and began to study the Golem Technique.
[The host has not practiced the Golem Technique for a long time. The Golem Technique is infuriated and dissatisfied. The practice speed has increased by 110%!]
[Golem Technique: Level-2 (Progress: 30%)]
Level-2 Golem Technique!
In other words, Marcus did not have to make the materials himself. He could directly cast an incantation on a piece of wood or raw stone to turn them into golems.
"Good lord! It's starting to move on its own. This technique seems to be the same as the previous fireball spell. It's very diligent."
After three days, Marcus got up and left the house.
There was a large pile of logs outside the house and a pile of potion bottles and herbs in the distance.
This was what Marcus had his servants do. He needed lots of wood and a large pile of herbs in order to make a golem per day.
Marcus thought about it and felt that it was a waste. He could only create giant golems with his current strength, which could only act as guards. Hence, he gave the giant golems to Sonny.
As for whether they would guard the gate or fight with Sonny, Marcus did not know.
"Dear Lord of Magic, please bless me. I will definitely succeed this time!"
Marcus held his breath and chanted a spell. Then, he waved his hands toward the pile of wood. "Rise!"
The wood swayed in the wind like a beautiful dancer on the stage.
After the wood carvings fell on the ground, a golem the size of a human appeared in front of Marcus.
"Success, success!"
Marcus was thrilled.
Although this golem's face didn't resemble a human's, it had a human-sized body. That was considered a success.
As long as his Golem Technique broke through to level-3, the golems would look like humans. Physique-wise, it would be no different than a human.
Once it reached level-4, Marcus would no longer need to channel his power to control it. It would become sentient and be able to follow Marcus's every order.
Once it reached level-5, which was the maximum level, it would be able to create a golem with the same amount of materials without having to chant complicated incantations!
It was challenging to break through each level, but Marcus did not think too much about it.
The most crucial point was that he could finally move on to the next step—control the golem to create potions!
Marcus immediately calmed himself down and channeled his magic to establish a spiritual connection with the golem.
The golem could use the same magic as its master, but it could not use passive or natural magic.
Soon, the golem moved and picked up the potion bottle. It conjured a magic flame with its free hand and started making the potion.
The test tube exploded. Failure!
"No."
Marcus calmed himself down and controlled the golem to make another potion.
Failure, failure, failure...
Marcus decided to call it a day after the last attempt. He controlled the golem to hold the potion bottle, and a flame immediately lit up underneath it. Then, he extinguished the flame and set it ablaze again!
A series of actions were completed in one go without any delay.
In the end, the flame was extinguished, and a nice fragrance filled the air.
"It seems to have succeeded," exclaimed Marcus.
The system's voice suddenly sounded in Marcus's mind.
[The Golem Technique appreciates the hard work of the host. Cultivation speed increased by 200%. Current Progress: 110%!]
[Golem Technique: Level-3 (Progress: 10%)]
It was already dark, and this was the fifth time he had made a potion today.
Marcus finally succeeded in making a potion with the golem, and his Golem Technique broke through to level-3!
"It took me a little longer to make the potion this time. It took me two hours," Marcus muttered. "I can make a potion in half an hour on my own. It seems that I still have a lot of room for improvement."
However, now that Marcus's Golem Technique had reached level-3, he could finally make a golem that looked like a human.
Marcus was not very excited.
'This is just a small step. There is still a long way to go,' he thought.
If his Golem Technique could reach level-4, then his sentient golem could easily make more potions.
Then, when he competed with Ken, he would definitely be able to gain the upper hand.
As for Level-5 Golem Technique?
Marcus did not even dare to think about it.
[The Golem Technique feels worried about the host. The practice speed has increased by 54%. The current progress is 13%!]
