Having failed to discover anything new about the mysterious alloy, and having come to conclusion that there was no way for him to reshape the metal, Erik had decided to move on.
"Eira?" he called out in the empty room.
Soon, the floating minotaur construct appeared, with a slightly relieved expression. 'I really didn't want my medium to be that ugly copper color,' she sighed inwardly.
Having already anticipated what Erik would ask of her, the same colorful array of metal ingots was floating in front of her.
Luckily, Erik had already decided what to pick while waiting for the alloy to heat.
It took him only a few seconds to swap the mysterious but useless ingot for the three metals he had decided on earlier and move on to the next part.
