16. Give it a makeover

When the news of the violent death of the Baron's nephew and Captain Martin was returned to the church, the old carpenter and John and his son were immediately overjoyed and kept praising the goddess.

Then, under the witness of John, his son and the old bishop, Gallo held a simple initiation ceremony for the old carpenter, making him a new believer.

The old carpenter also went back to build a carriage for Gallo according to his previous agreement.

Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Gallo to take care of the little kittens.

"Don't worry, they will eat whatever I eat."

Gallo said confidently.

After both of them left, Gallo and the old bishop went to the backyard of the church.

After the demon was brought back, it was hidden in the backyard. This place was originally used to store debris. There was only a simple shack built around it. The space was not large to begin with. As soon as the demon came, it was immediately packed.

of.

"This thing is really strong..."

"And it's dark, round, and quite cute..."

Gallo touched the cold and smooth surface of the golem with his hand, commented on it, and turned around to ask:

"How much do you think this is worth?"

After observing carefully, the old bishop said hesitantly:

"I'm not sure about the specific price..."

"But looking at the shell, it seems to be made of black gold?"

"Based on my understanding of the market, my grasp of prices, and my insight into high-end materials...this demon doll costs a few hundred gold, right?"

"A few hundred gold?"

Gallo's eyes suddenly widened and he quickly put on his control gloves.

"What are you doing? You don't want to sell it, do you?"

The old bishop asked quickly.

"Otherwise? We won't need it, and it will take up space if we stay here."

"No, no, no!" The old bishop shook his head repeatedly.

"Based on my experience, there are very few high-end demon dolls like this, and each one has a clear record. If you sell it, wouldn't it be equivalent to exposing your identity?"

Gallo had to admit regretfully:

"You're right... What's the better way to deal with it? Take it apart and sell it piece by piece?"

The old bishop thought about it again and suggested:

"Why don't you just keep it for yourself?"

"Don't you want to get a carriage? Just use it to pull the cart."

Gallo suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly:

"That's good! It looks much stronger than a donkey!"

But he immediately realized a problem and asked quickly:

"But... won't its appearance be too eye-catching?"

"Especially here...it looks unsightly."

He pointed at the huge ruby ​​on the demon doll's waist.

According to the instructions on the glove, this ruby ​​is its main energy source. It will continue to generate heat during operation and must maintain heat dissipation, so it is placed in this position.

"Let's find a way to renovate it. You go buy some paint first."

The old bishop ordered.

So the two of them got busy.

Gallo first bought blue and white paint, and painted the limbs and back of the monster blue, and then painted the head, hands, feet, and belly white.

He also found some scrap wood, pieced it together and made it look like an apron, then painted it white and put it on the devil.

After a lot of tossing, the devil has completely lost its true colors and looks like a fat blue man wearing a white apron.

Next, Gallo plans to imbue the demon with some magic.

This is a custom or convention. After people buy a high-value item, they always ask a priest to bless it.

If they are wealthy people, they will often hold a grand ceremony, banquet, etc. to complete this matter.

This may not necessarily improve the practicality, but is mainly for good luck, to show your love for this item, and to show off.

This is one of the sources of income for many sects, but Gallo has never received such business...

The old bishop did not object to this, he just suggested from the side:

"The shell of this golem is made of black gold, a metal with extremely high magic resistance. The effects of magical spells will also be greatly attenuated. You can add a magical spell at will, as long as it makes sense."

"How can this be done? This is hundreds of gold! I have never used anything so expensive..."

As Gallo spoke, he formed hand seals and first gave the demon a few divine protection spells: acceleration.

When he brought the puppet back last night, he found that the puppet's movements and reactions were slow, so he decided to speed it up first.

Several faint rays of light lingered around the demon doll, slowly seeping into its shell, making it look slightly glowing, indicating that the blessing was successful.

Then he also remembered that if the golem moves for too long, the ruby ​​core will overheat and needs to cool down for a while before it can continue to move, which is very troublesome.

So he added a few more magic spells that could keep the target calm and awake at all times: Calmness.

Then, he felt that if the paint he worked hard on faded, the black underneath would be exposed, which would be ugly, so he added a few magical protection spells to protect the fruits of his labor.

After dozens of magical spells were added, the entire body of the demon began to emit that kind of holy and crystal light, looking like some kind of religious holy object.

"This...is this okay?"

The old bishop was stunned when he saw it. This is black gold, which is known as the magic-free metal...

What kind of student did you train?

"How about it? It looks more pleasing to the eye this way, doesn't it?"

Gallo asked.

"Well...as long as you're happy..."

The old bishop replied, adding a rare compliment:

"You have practiced your divine protection skill quite well."

Gallo smiled sheepishly:

"Thanks to the blessing of the goddess."

Just like there are many types of magic, divine magic can be roughly divided into four categories: healing, protection, redemption, and punishment.

Healing is all kinds of healing, adding blood, treating diseases and removing toxins.

Sanctuary is to grant various beneficial effects to people or items, which is also commonly known as blessing.

As for redemption, it means repentance, persuasion, etc., which Gallo loves to use at night.

And the magic he used to deal with those mercenaries last night: Conviction, is the magic of punishment.

Generally speaking, a priest with a normal style should specialize in healing and redemption; while asylum and punishment are the domain of the Paladin.

But Gallo is a little different, he doesn't increase blood at all...

Finally, it’s time to give this monster a name.

"I originally planned to buy a little donkey to pull the cart, but now you have replaced the little donkey..."

"Then let's call you Amiya!"

"I remember this seems to be the name of a donkey."

Gallo said.

The golem showed no reaction to the new name.

Gallo didn't expect anything. The instructions on the gloves were very clear. The intelligence of this thing was enough to understand some simple commands. Of course, there would be no response to such profound content as the meaning of the name.

He then left the golem in the backyard to dry the paint and went back to reading.
