The shield-nation of Mirg was investigating the Evbejia incident not merely as something that concerned only that small town in some remote region, but as a major event that shook the whole country. The reason for that was because if what happened in that town were to happen at the citadel…

No matter how sturdy the forts, no matter how tall and thick the walls, all of it would be meaningless. No, if the Golems decided to attack the humans inside instead of leaving like they had in Evbejia, even an elite army would sustain heavy losses, unable to make free use of their strength.

The attacks would come from the walls, ceilings and floors. How would troop formation be maintained in such a situation?

To prevent such an event from occurring, the mystery of how the town’s outer walls had turned into Golems had to be solved.

However, even the upper ranks of the Mages’ Guild had been unable to come up with an answer.

In the first place, Golems were things that an alchemist spent effort and Mana to create.

In order to create a Golem, materials had to be prepared and divided into separate parts for the arms, legs, and torso, all kinds of catalysts and spirit powders needed to be applied for the different parts while casting spells, and then an artificial core needed to be implanted inside to make it move.

After all of that, one would have produced a Golem.

That was why it was impossible to make Golems from the outer walls of the town that had already been built, the ruler’s house and Adventurers’ Guild building that had been in use and the earth of the fields that the farmers had been plowing every day to produce crops.

If there was an alchemist who could do this, then not only the shield-nation of Mirg but the entire Amid Empire would do their best to apprehend him. If that was impossible then they would cover up his existence.
