Chương 285: The Semi-Spirit Mystic Construct

As Lassim followed Rlyis and Eno down the narrow staircase into the basement of the workshop, the room at the bottom came into view. It opened wide, into a dimly lit, and vastly different room from the orderly, by comparison, workspace above. 

Piles of parts lay stacked in corners; half-finished constructs stood silent, their metal frames catching and reflecting the dim light from wall-mounted runes.

On a broad platform at the center of the room, a large construct unlike any Lassim had ever seen loomed, intricate in both design and aura. It stood taller than any standard model, with plates of shimmering metal fitted over a streamlined skeleton, the runes and channels faintly illuminated with enchantments and radiating a spiritual pressure even though the construct was not yet active.
