Chapter 145 - Gate Keeper:- Golem
'Here it comes,'
When he saw the smile on the sect leader Gamos' face, for some reason, he felt something was coming at him.
"What is it, master?"
Nevertheless, he asked his master about the condition because Henrick didn't want to miss this chance to go out of the 'Twin fire mountain'.
"You should not leave the premises of our sect," The sect leader slowly revealed the condition.
Working disciples' courtyard also comes under the sect's premises. So, the sect leader Gamos asked Henrick to stay inside the premises of the sect.
"Yes, master. I will do that,"
Henrick heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the condition of the sect leader Gamos because he only wanted to enter the inheritance building which was inside the sect's premises.
As for going out of the premise, why would he do that? Only after getting a specific level of cultivation and strength could he venture into the dangerous forests.
Moreover, he wanted to go home only after reaching at least a cultivation of an 'Energy condensation realm'.
"Good. You can go today," the sect leader Gamos nodded his head as he continued, "I have some other things to do now."
After finishing his words, the sect leader Gamos disappeared from the spot leaving behind Henrick and Nick.
"Nick, are you coming with me?"
Since his master asked him to take Nick along with him, Henrick asked whether he wanted to go with him or not.
"Sorry, Henrick. I can't take a long break now as I want to enter the second stage of the muscle-strengthening realm. I can relax in evening walks. You can and visit Elder Eagor,"
Nick shook his head as he rejected Henrick's offer to go out the 'Twin fire' mountain.
Moreover, Nick guessed that Henrick wanted to visit Elder Eagor because Henrick didn't have any friends in the working disciples' courtyard.
"Okay,"
Henrick didn't force Nick because he was fine by going alone.
Since he had to enter the inheritance building to clear a trial or a bunch of trials, he didn't know how much time he was going to stay inside the inheritance building.
If he disappeared for too long, he had to give an explanation to Nick. So, he felt it was better this way.
"I am also going back to my cultivation abode,"
Soon, Nick also bid his goodbyes as he walked towards the entrance of the cultivation abode to leave.
"Take good care of your Croc,"
Just when Nick was about to exit his cultivation abode, Henrick intentionally said to Nick to remind him that it was his tamed beast.
However, Nick didn't give any reply as he simply left the cultivation abode.
'Sigh'
Henrick sighed as thought, 'Thinking of tamed beasts, why is Spark taking this much time to return?'
All of a sudden, he remembered his tamed beast which was currently in the beast mountain.
"No fluctuations in the spirit imprint in my mind sea. So, I don't need to worry about it,"
Since the spirit imprint that was connecting him and the baby fire monkey was still intact, Henrick was not worried much.
However, he didn't know that the master of the beast mountain was holding the baby fire monkey as his captive and making it refine its blood essence.
'Finally, it's time to leave,'
Henrick didn't have many things to pack.
All the necessary items were inside his storage ring.
'Finally, I can see what kind of trials that cursed building has stored for me,'
Soon, he started walking towards the exit of the 'Twin fire' mountain with an excited look on his face.
After getting the system from the inheritance building, Henrick was always curious about the trials and wanted to enter the building; however, he was not a cultivator at that time.
And after becoming a cultivator, he was in the 'twin fire' mountain. So, of course, he was excited to leave the 'twin fire' mountain.
"Stop there, disciple. Show me your disciple token,"
Just when he was near the exit gate, a rock man came out of the bunch of rocks and took a humanoid shape.
'A golem?'
Henrick was surprised for a moment and took his disciple token out of his storage ring.
A golem is an artificial being made by the alchemists for small tasks like gatekeeping or similar things like that.
'System, can you evaluate it?'
Henrick asked the system as he was curious about the strength of the golem.
A Golem's strength depends on the level of an alchemist and the grade of the materials used to create it.
Also, this Golem was used for gatekeeping. So, it must have considerable strength which made Henrick curious.
'Ding,
Artificial being:- Golem
Strength:- Not available
Skills:- Not available
Description:- A golem that was created by a rank 5 alchemist of the 'Blazing inferno sect'
The system directly projected the details of the golem in front of him; however, most of its data was unavailable that made Henrick frown.
'System, why is it unavailable?'
While the golem was checking his disciple token for something, Henrick silently asked the system about the incomplete details on the holographic screen.
'Ding,
Master, your strength is very low to evaluate the golem's complete details.
'Once again, my strength is low to evaluate others,' Henrick bitterly shook his head and waited for the golem to open the gate.
"You are permitted to go for 7 days. If you stay more than that, you can forever stay outside," soon, the golem tossed the disciple token back to Henrick and warned him to enter the mountain with time.
"Yes, mountain guardian,"
Henrick nodded his head at the golem before coming out of the twin fire mountain.
'Did he try to evaluate my strength? Isn't he only a muscle-strengthening realm cultivator, right?'
After Henrick left the mountain, the golem closed the gate and thought back the sensation it felt when Henrick tried to use the system to evaluate it.
Whenever someone tries to evaluate the strength of other cultivators, the cultivators would feel slight discomfort and they could feel that someone was trying to evaluate their strength.
'So what? He will not know anything with his current strength,'
The golem shook its rocky head before going back into the bunch of rocks in front of the huge gate.
.....
Inside the sect leader Gamos' cultivation abode,
"Finally, Henrick will waste seven days and now I have more time for sealing his bloodline once it is unsealed after he enters the energy condensation realm,"
The sect leader Gamos sat cross-legged as he heaved a sigh of relief.
The reason he instantly agreed to Henrick's request to go out of the 'twin fire' was that it would delay his cultivation for a while.
'Sigh...what kind of master will be happy for the delay of his disciple's cultivation?'
However, in the next instant, he sighed.
The sect leader Gamons could not openly ask Henrick to slowly cultivate. So, he used as many methods as possible to delay Henrick's cultivation.
"Don't worry, my dear nephew. It is all for your disciple's safety,"
The shadow overseer appeared in front of the sect leader Gamos and convinced him he was doing the right thing.
The sect leader Gamos also nodded his head agreeing to his uncle's words.
