Chapter 1286
After Leon left the Gilded Rose, he stopped concerning himself with these affairs. Figures like Laforte simply didn't have the time to meddle, and besides, there was no need anymore...
The Gilded Rose opened for business in the Odin Kingdom, right in the busiest district of Neverwinter City where Astral Academy is located. Eighteen shops sprang up in succession, and with the coalition of interests now tied to the Gilded Rose, Leon was no longer some rootless upstart in the Odin Kingdom, easily trampled by anyone...
With the materials in hand, Leon could barely contain his urgency. Now, everything was in place for the Patchwork Golem to regain its Sky Rank—yes, regain it, for the Patchwork Golem was originally a Sky Rank construct.
Previously, the Patchwork Golem's components had suffered widespread damage, its energy system was ruined, and after years of silence, time itself had corroded it. Because of this, its power had fallen below Sky Rank, and many of its internal systems could no longer function as intended.
After the recent trip to the Plane of Golems with Dean Gandalf, two intact Sky Rank Alchemical Golems had been acquired, each containing many crucial internal parts. With a bit of modification, these could be transplanted into the Patchwork Golem. Combined with the finest specimens among the rare materials prepared, the best of their kind...
This would absolutely ensure the Patchwork Golem's restoration to Sky Rank, its power soaring. But most importantly, what Leon truly valued wasn't its combat ability, but something else hidden within the Patchwork Golem.
When Leon first obtained the Patchwork Golem, a single phrase nearly scared him to death. There was definitely a secret within this construct that Leon was desperate to uncover. That question—'Is anyone still alive?'—still sent chills down his spine whenever he recalled it.
The truth behind the Northend Apocalypse, the most vital clue, was likely hidden within the Patchwork Golem.
Now that the conditions were met, how could Leon not be impatient?
