As it turns out, Negris overthought things. Engraving divinity patterns could not turn a blank God statue into a Forging Divinity statue. Rather, after adding divinity patterns, the God statue became consolidated and would not dissipate easily, thus creating an illusion of 'growth'.
Regardless, with the God statue becoming stable and no longer needing to be secured inside a flower bud, where was the most suitable place to put it?
The blacksmith's shop in the Goddess of Beauty City was vast in size, fully equipped with everything from a magic furnace to a water-power forging hammer, all the way to a mechanical vehicle. It had almost all the advanced equipment one could think of.
The money allocated to Vaguli each month was all invested here.
Why would a goblin engineer pour money into a blacksmith's shop? Could blacksmithing work qualify one as a goblin engineer?
