Level Up in Earth Evolution

Chapter 239: Golems

The old city was quite big and was divided into five districts. They didn't have names and were just called by their numbers.

Li Wei and the city lord Bernard were in the fifth district, which was a core area with residential and commercial buildings.

When they arrived, all they saw was the old buildings from before and a few teams with thousands of workers.

"Li Wei, they are the city building force who commands the golems to do their jobs, and if there is a mistake, they instantly correct it," Bernard explained with a proud look and gestured to the team leaders to come here.

The team leaders were stunned at his arrival, but they didn't hesitate and came to greet him.

"Greetings City Lord," a fat middle-aged man took the lead to greet him with everyone.

In response, Bernard nodded.

"Li Wei, they are the team leaders who oversee almost everything, like demolition, laying foundations, building houses and roads, installing water systems, and such."

"The plan for rebuilding the city was already ready; it was just that we didn't have funds and materials. However, with the people from earth coming here, the superiors decided to rebuild the old city immediately," he explained.

Hearing him Li Wei nodded with a thoughtful look.

"City, Lord, are the materials for building that expensive?" he inquired.

In response, Bernard nodded.

"Yes, they are pretty expensive because they needed to resist skill damage and harsh weather sometimes."

"Also, there are a lot of things in consideration when you need to purchase such materials; some of them have high fire resistance, while some of them have high cold resistance."

"Just the level 40 building that you have bought costs about 400 million coins of materials; after that, there are also things like preparing them and carving materials with mana lines, which is also costly," the city lord explained in detail and turned towards team leaders who were waiting silently.

"You go and start the process with just one building. I need this building to be finished in an hour," he instructed.

Hearing him, the team leaders were stunned, but they nodded immediately and got to work.

They didn't hesitate and commanded the people under them to take out golems from their item box.

Watching this, Li Wei's eyes were attracted to them, as there were a lot of them, and most importantly, they were a little different from what he expected.

Some were like reptiles with some sharp blades on their backs, some were like cats or dogs, and there were even some golem birds who could fly.

This made him stunned, and soon his eyes shined.

Watching him like this, the city lord chuckled.

"Li Wei, those small golems are just low-level, which are used to analyze coordinates from different locations and set up some shields. There are also some who drive underground to make sure there aren't any problems with land," he explained before continuing again.

"The medium-sized golems that looked like humans are used for construction, demolition, and other works like this."

"As for the biggest golems, because of their height, they can instantly transport all materials on whichever floor is needed; they also do the job of demolishing and transporting big materials," he added, looking at the giant golem, which was eight stories tall.

They worked like tower cranes, but they were safer and faster.

Hearing him, Li Wei nodded and continued to look at further processes with interest.

The team leaders didn't disappoint him and instructed people to demolish the building.

The workers got to work immediately and started to set up a shield around the building to prevent dust and accidents.

They all had a magical tool like a tablet in their hands that controlled the golems; some of them even had something complex, like an airplane cockpit, clearly the controls of big golems.

Li Wei couldn't help but become stunned at all this, as he never thought that they could control golems like this.

He had one given by Alice, and it worked on voice commands.

"City lord, why do these golems need to be controlled like this? Aren't they operated on voice commands?" he inquired with a puzzled face.

Hearing him, Bernard let out a wry smile.

"Li Wei, the golems you are talking about are very expensive, and only Capital City or some rich cities have the ability to purchase them."

"There are some small models that you would be able to get cheaper; however, they don't do much in construction, so we don't purchase them," he explained.

Listening to this, Li Wei nodded and turned his attention towards a big humanoid golem, which started to demolish the top floor with its hand. Find your next read at M V L

The golem's hand was equipped with sharp rotating blades, so it didn't pose any problem, and within a minute the whole floor was demolished.

"City lord, from what material the golems are made off and how could one get them?" Li Wei inquired as he saw not even a single scratch on Golem's hand.

Hearing him, Bernard didn't feel surprised and replied.

"Most of the golems are here made from C and B grade materials, which vary depending on the situation. As for how to get them, it's basically impossible because no kingdom sells them."

"Their blueprints are also kept secret, so it is hard to make something like this from scratch, not to mention they needed mana cores to operate, which is very hard to acquire," he answered without thinking too much as it wasn't a secret.

Listing to this, Li Wei couldn't help but frown a little.

"City lord, is there really no way to get any of these golems?" he inquired further.

In response, Bernard nodded as he gave Li Wei a deep look.

"There are ways to acquire them, but they all are hard and would need a massive amount of contribution while also signing the contract with that power."

"Of course, if it's a hero, then these would be easy as you can form a relationship with elves who are creators of these golems, but still, it's not something free," he replied.
