Master Of None

It was clear that Grey was using some skills to move as fast as he could around the room and assemble the parts. The gears were being tested by the apprentices to make sure that they fit together properly and functioned. It was a process that Walker never imagined he would witness. 

The speed that runes were carved was also a surprise to Walker. He thought that they needed a significant amount of mana and time to be added. However, here they were being carved with speed and efficiency. Some parts already were inscribed with runes before they were handed. It was amazing to see how accurately they fit together making a continuous network of runes inside the golem. 

When the grand fire elemental mana crystals were brought out, the spirits all reacted with their own curiosity. They tried to move nearer to examine it and were shooed away by the apprentices. Their curiosity didn't make them a danger to the process but distracted them. "Stay away and come watch with me. I know it's interesting but if we mess them up we won't see the fire spirit test its' dwelling." 

The spirits heeded Walker's warning as the grand fire elemental mana crystals were fitted in to portions of the dragon golems neck. These were paired with multiple ruined gears and mana gems that began to absorb the mana from the air. It seemed that the runes were going to fill the mana gems before the fire spirit even needed to worry about it. 

"Get me the outside armor! I want that tail to be linked and fitted as soon as possible. And I swear, if those retractable ember bone spikes aren't ready in ten minutes I will send all of you out to the mines to gather more of the roaring copper I used to balance the rune strength." Walker wasn't fully sure what the materials Grey spoke of were but the threat kicked the apprentices in to a faster speed. 

The outside armor that was being fitted on the tail in just minutes were paired with small parts being added along the tail. The ember bones had been coated in this roaring copper alloy that Grey was talking about. The fire elemental mana was sticking to them very strongly and Walker was sure that when mana was pushed through them that they would cause some serious fire damage to an opponent. 

The spike at the end of the tail was being tested for retraction and Walker jumped a little when it retracted and then shot out again. It would make a very surprising weapon. Before he could blink, Walker was watching larger and larger parts of the golem being brought out. The scales being placed were shiny and rune engraved but also heavy duty. They didn't look easy to break and the thought that they would be damaged and fall off was just too crazy. 

"Get your slack jawed butt over here and learn to put on scales. I won't be fixing this on your journeys." Grey yelled directly at Walker. It wasn't that he was angry but Grey was in full master golem builder mode. He would not be letting anything stop the golem from always being in the optimal form. 

"These each fit in to these slots. The runes will become damaged and another will slide in to place. That is what the core will dictate and how it will function. Collect the damaged parts at the end of a battle and slide a new one in like this." Grey showed Walker how he slid it in then handed him a scale. 

Walker slid them in as he was shown and then Grey continued, "These are all working properly and should flex and move with the inside gears of the golem. It will keep it fluid in movement. If a damaged scale is here it will slow the movements of the entire golem. Each part works together just like a real body." Grey wanted to be sure that Walker understood why he was being taught these things and how it would affect the golem as a whole. 

'The skill gear repair has been taken from the fix it system. The skill gear repair has been automatically learned through taught actions and guidance from a master. 

Gear repair- passive

The user can better understand the inner workings of basic gear, machines, tools, and most other crafted items. The user will be able to deduce the issues and work towards repairs. This skill is a learned skill through many experiences. This skill is a base skill for many crafting skills in the entire world.'

Walker happily read the skill and continued to follow Greys' directions. The skill he had received was not rare or extremely advanced, but it was a major step in to him gaining proper crafting skills in the future. He had only scratched the surface of many of the crafting skills. This made him too focused on battle and magic. 

"You know, I might need to learn to craft things more. Think you can show me a few tricks before I leave?" Grey raised an eye brow at Walker. 

"Well, I need to test this golem and adjust things with the fire spirit. You could leave but I recommend you stay anyways to take this with you in the end. So it works out that way. Feel free to learn what you can." Grey had no problems with Walker learning more. He had many apprentices and having another running about would only be better for the kingdom. 

"Then I will make sure I learn a lot. I think it's about time I lifted a forge hammer and started to make some things." The goal was more in line with the crafting of his staff than he expected. Walker received a notification from the system almost immediately.
