"By the way, do you know wha happened after you all left that old man here? He came and he started to raid my materials stash. I had a bunch of things all set up for when I would need them. They''re gone now. He said spirit forging this and spirit forging that." Grey did not look very happy at all after saying this.


    "Well, I am sure he told you that we managed to spirit forge a shield but the better the materials and a spirit is needed." Grey finally had looked at them enough to see that there were elemental spirits around Walker and Su. He had not expected this and was now a little lost on what to say.


    "No he did not! That old secretive...I swear, he only said that he was working on spirit forging. But if it''s sessful then why am I working on this? I could be making a sentient golem now!" Grey had misunderstood what they had seeded in.


    "No sentient weapons or anything yet. We managed to make a dwelling weapon for the spirits. The elemental spirits can help the forging process by providing elemental mana. Instead of burning a soul, it makes a weapon or item that a spirit can dwell within." Walker could see that Grey wasn''t fully understanding just how great that was.


    "That means that the spirit that dwells within the weapon can leave." Walker gestured to the earth dwelling shield and the earth elemental spirit showed off. "Then it can fill the mana crystal with elemental mana depending on the kind. Even more, it can act independently and activate the skill thates with the shield using that mana. Su, want to show off?"


    Walker knew that the floor was tough enough and since the area had been cleared it was no problem demonstrating. "Yes, I know the spirit likes to show off just how great its home is." Su readied herself, "The spirit can activate the skill while I am distracted. If I have an enemy in front then the spirit can activate the skill behind me." The ground shook and the stones jumped up creating the fortress to protect Su.


    Walker took back over, "The spirit can also end the skill at will." The stone wall that had just jumped up crumbled and fell back in to the floor. "That should give you a better idea about what you might be able to do with spirit forgoing. But in theory, the sentient golem you want to make might just be a golem controlled by an elemental spirit. But that could be better."


    Walker saw a light flicked in Greys'' eyes. "You''re saying. That if I swerve to spirit forge a core for this golem I am building. That I might be able to let a spirit dwell within it and control it?" Grey was nearly shaking with excitement. Walker wasn''t sure if he was looking at a dwarf that was many many many years older than him or a child about to go to the candy shop.


    "Mine! I want that. I will do it!" The fore spirit that Walker had been holding in the nest ofva silk robes chimed in with a loud shout and pulse of mana. "You will let me right? I can be like a dragon. I am fire. It will breathe fire. It is perfect for my home!"


    The elemental fire spirit was beside itself with desire. It wanted to be ankle to control the golem, yes, but it wanted more than anything to be able to show off fire as it did so. Since there was this possibility then it would be many times greater to control a dragon and show off the strength than just be part of a sword or armor.


    "The fire spirit says it wants to do just what we were speaking about. I guess I put some grand ideas in its mind." Walkerughed a little not expecting this reaction. However, it was a good one. This was a great start for Grey and the golem he was meticulously working on.


    "Where is that elder. I am dragging his wrinkly dwarf butt over here now!" Grey started toi scramble toward his masters'' room when he noticed that Walker, Midnight, Su, and Onyx weren''t following. "What''s wrong with you? We are about to start on the greatest golem ever made in the kingdom! Those bratty genius kids that think their new ideas are so great will learn what it means to tangle with experience."


    "Midnight, I think you started something pretty crazy. You modeled for a golem that is now going to be a dwelling item all on its own." Walker looked at Midnight who was just prancing along proud of what she was part of.


    "It''s happening? We are going to make my home." The fire elemental spirit was a little worried that they were not going to do so but Walker just gave it a look and smile telling it everything it needed to know.


    The dark and other earth spirit were interested but were still clinging to Walker. They were excited about their own future adventure and were just waiting to be part of this one.


    When they managed to get to the forge the elder was in they were met with tables on the walls leading to the door. There were materials that they had never seen along with materials that were most likely worth more than the mansion they now lived in.


    "Finally! I thought you guys were going to be busy forever. I got to the second link in my chain quest. I gathered a bunch of materials for the modification of the bow. Did you know there is gold that has high wind elemental affinity? I learned a ton too and even met the crossbow crafter." Gil was organizing the materials that would be used for the modification of the bow and looked like he was ready to fight the world.
