Chapter 3 - Information and first step

[Samuel's Pov]

It would be an understatement to say they we were shocked we never heard that golems were able to talk. It asked us questions I was confused but the Golem didn't seem to be aggressive and I saw a chance to get information as it asked how we survived this tells me that it knows something, so I answer.

"We are the expedition group sent by the emperor himself, we were ordered to explore this new world in hope to get knowledge and resources. So is there a possibility to tell us what happened here"

"Samuel why did you tell this Golem our mission!?" Galia asked shocked and indignantly.

"We have to gather information and this the first living organism we found so far and it seems to know something." I retort.

The Golem stood still at first then it said in it cold and mechanical voice.

"You didn't answer the last and most important question how did you survive that calamity? I will answer your question if you answer mine first."

"How we survived the calamity I tell you were not in this dimension we got here after a portal opened to this world. So I ask you again what happened here and how were who created you Golem?" This time I got a bit annoyed after all it is just a golem.

"I'm not a golem I'm the last hope of humanity created to defend humanity and finally to destroy those monsters which came out of a portal as you call them, unluckily was I activated too late and so every last one of them was devoured."

This time I was shocked it didn't consider of itself a Golem and it said that it was created to save humanity by monsters which devour humans this sounded like ghouls or some other kind of magical monster.

"Then what are you and what are you doing now?"

"I'm Phönix I'm a machine immortal. As for what I'm doing I am creating a save base for the future if they come back but I have no real purpose, ... but I could achieve something different, why defend humanity if you just eradicate all their enemies and control them to not start wars it might take deaths to secure everything but it would be worth it. ... Where did you come from there must be more of you?"

This time he stepped closer towards them this scared the shit out of us after the things it said earlier but if it would be able to create everlasting peace it would be worth it, I'm interested in helping it.

"The portal resides in the east, it is located in a small town in the inner area of the empire."

"Samuel!! Why did you tell this 'Machine' the location of the portal? What if it tries to harm the empire? with the stuff, it said it sounded like it wants to take the world over!" It was Galia again, she really seems to dislike Phönix.

[Phönix's Pov]

I couldn't understand every word they said as it seems as if the syntax is slightly different but luckily only slightly. I need to speed up the whole process and this person in front seems to be in favour of me while the female seems strongly against it I might try to contact this Samuel, there might even be the possibility to create something similar to a church or cult as it would help me expand faster as they would help protect the fortresses that I build. It also seems as if they are in a kind of medieval age as it looks like from their clothes and weapons as for those in the back they are a bit weird as they only hold a kind of wand there might be a possibility that magic exists in their world as it wouldn't be impossible, if I take the multiverse theory seriously.

I should create living quarters for others and get food. At that moment over half of the drones stopped doing what they were doing and started building living quarters underground and started t find food.

"You can stay I have food and a place to sleep for you. If you are willing?"

They seemed conflicted and started discussing as they finished Samuel answered.

"We would be glad we haven't found anything to eat in days and couldn't get an eye close."

I was delighted as I got more and more fond of the idea to create something like a church which prays to me maybe there are ways to achieve something similar to godhood but for now let's get on their good side.

"Very well pls follow my servant it will lead you to your sleeping quarters."

I said, servant, as I didn't want to explain what drones are as they would be asking what drones are so it would be easier this way.

The same moment did the drones start to construct the elevator for the humans I send another drone to lead the way.
