Tuah and The Soldier Golem are currently being modified. For Tuah, there's not much to do other than strengthen the armor he's wearing. His armor is strong to begin with, and now it's going to be even stronger when coated with Adamantine. Maybe even vibranium. Since it's his own body now, he says it shouldn't theoretically slow him down that much. Maybe it's more like a fat person walking even slower than a skinny one. That's what he feels will happen. Right now, they're trying to figure out a way to coat the armor. Electrophoresis and alchemy are the first things that come to mind.
As for the soldier golem, there are several ideas. From making them a mobile fortress that can shield and treat other soldiers to making them an unstoppable killing machine. The dwarves from the dwarf kingdom keep coming up with ideas. The awakened soldier golems are powered by the soul, unlike the natural golems. They still possess a magical core, but we witches can also tell that the core wasn't the only thing that made them move. It's mysterious, but according to Master Merlin, that's what a soul can do. Much like a human has a brain to control its physical body, but without a soul, it's just a biological machine.
"First and foremost, I propose a language modulation system. Right now, we communicate with them through the witches' power, but when they aren't present, communication will be a big problem".
"I agree. The four of us wouldn't be around them all the time, so that should be the first problem we tackle" [Princess Siti].
"If you want, I can teach you how to make them talk like my marionette. If you want and dare" [Merlin].
"Why is that sound so ominous?" [Tiara]
"Master Merlin, you scare everyone." [Diana]
"Even you?" [Merlin]
"Of course not, my beautiful, kind-hearted master wouldn't do anything so scary" [Diana]
"Thank you, well, I wouldn't, at least not to innocent people." [Merlin]
According to Master Merlin, she simply takes the voice box of a living person and makes it part of her marionette. Of course, it's much more complicated than that. There has to be a functional part of the brain as well. At least part of it. She doesn't go into too much detail. If Einstein were here, I am sure he would ask more questions out of curiosity.
"As a substitute, there is a study by witches from the past that uses vocal cords from animals and monsters that are able to mimic human articulation. There are varying degrees of success. From perfect imitation, to one with power able to bewitch someone, to one of utter failure, like an infant just starting to say ma and pa" [Merlin].
"Monsters that can do that? Ghoul. Zombie. Harpy. There are several, in fact. Most of them are able to mimic human words, some more than others, but isn't it still limited?" [Teliara]
"It is, but it's better than a human, right? Or, if you want a human so much, you can always use a wanted criminal on death row and take theirs. It's always an option" [Merlin].
"That wasn't a bad idea" [Tiara].
"No! We are honorable soldiers! We don't want a criminal to speak for us!"
"Witch Merlin, please" [Tuah]
"And so I suggest the animals and monsters" [Merlin]
Tuah and the soldier golem absolutely refuse to get a vocal cord from a criminal. I can understand their feelings. I don't want to either, but according to Teacher Tiara, wouldn't it be better to just take it instead of wasting a valuable part? After all, they're on a death sentence. She says it without batting an eyelid. That's brave of her. Teliara agrees, but JOATMON is on the side of Tuah and the Golem.
"Hmm..." [Diana]
"What is it Diana?" [Dana]
"I was just thinking, couldn't we use a mimic?" [Diana]
"That's... That's actually quite good. I can see what you're thinking. Some mimics have the ability to lure humans with their voices. Some even change their appearance just to lure their victims to their doom" [Teliara].
"But most mimics are just in the form of treasure chests, vases, and the like. Finding one with a working vocal cord... Wait a minute... Aren't the mimics with us able to produce some kind of sound?" [Princess Siti]
"Meow" [Fie]
"But the Mimic is just a treasure chest now?" [Tuah]
"Not really. It is still a mimic. Just that it became static..." [JOATMON]
"So if we feed the mimic enough to clone itself, we can theoretically harvest its vocal cord. Or better yet, maybe we can manipulate it to produce only the part we need?" [Merlin]
"That's an interesting experiment" [Princess Siti].
"Or maybe we can take a vocal cord from a condemned criminal, feed it to the Mimic, and hope that it will multiply?" [Tiara]
"You know, you're suspiciously obsessed with that idea." [Merlin]
"It is a practical solution. I know, I know, it's unethical, and even I agree with it, but it's still an option if all else fails. After all, we are talking about life and death on a battlefield" [Tiara].
"We are aware of that."
"We know that Princess Tiara means no harm, and we appreciate your concern."
For now, that's an option we can think of. There are other option as well such as making a mahic circle and spell that can be used to make the golem talk from multiple prewritten texts on them.
Since we are going to enter a dungeon later to search for a Pure Sacred Mana Core, we should take care of the necessary materials. Both are very rare items, so it wouldn't be surprising if none of us found them during our stay in Emas.
(The mirror we found should be more than enough, but it's better to be over-prepared than under-prepared when it comes to exorcising THE THING from Ophelia) [Diana].
