"Uh, the situation is like this."
In the Magic-Energy Computer Laboratory's golem workshop, a group of experts in the field of golems clanged and tinkered away for half the day before cobbling together a rough prototype.
It turned out that using an entire castle as a laboratory was a pretty good choice. Whenever needed, they could clear out a space for newly joined small teams.
The golem team's workspace had been converted from the dungeon. The castle's original owner must have loved imprisoning people; the dungeon was enormous.
Jia Xiu reckoned they could cram at least several dozen more people into this place.
"Integration with the computer golem is basically complete, but there is one minor flaw."
That was what the experts present said.
As for the result of the integration, it made the already bizarre computer golem even more bizarre.
Originally, in order to control the opening and closing of a vast number of nodes, the golem had been made in the shape of a Tentacle Monster—one with an overwhelming number of tentacles.
Now, a sapling had been stuck into it.
Jia Xiu had not expected the so-called integration process to be so straightforward. Though there had been countless steps in between, judging from the final result, it was simply a matter of sticking a sapling into the golem.
The golem's dense, tangled tentacles now seemed to have become the tiny sapling's sprawling root system. The enormous contrast between them made the sapling brimming with room for imagination—the "dark and terrifying truth lurking beneath a weak appearance"—raising its sinister aura by several levels.
Forget it. Sinister was sinister. Jia Xiu had already accepted that the computer they had developed looked like this. Every part of it happened to carry a touch of distortion. It would be difficult to move
