Chapter 216: Chapter 222 Joint Deliberation
“`
The first time seeing the Mana Rune, Aniye, Pelaya, and Hammerfire were all stunned. When Orton drew a rune with magic power in front of them, the three almost simultaneously jumped up from their seats.
“What is this thing, how can it contain mana?”
“Although the amount is not high, it indeed contains mana in it, but… how is this possible!”
“It’s a new technology!”
The three of them were top figures in their respective fields. Perhaps they had never seen a Mana Rune, but with their profound expertise, just one look was enough to discern its secrets.
...
So after this, they all gathered around the rune Orton had drawn.
“Indeed, this truly is new technology, constructing a symbol directly with magic power and storing mana within it. I’ve never heard of such technology, oh my! This idea is simply amazing!”
Looking closely at the Mana Rune in front of her, Pelaya was amazed because her specialty was the mana framework field, so the rune in her eyes was different from those seen by others.
But after a round of amazement, Pelaya glanced at Orton, “Orton, this technology wasn’t invented by you, was it?”
“Needless to say, there’s no way this guy could have invented such advanced technology!”
Before Orton could respond, Hammerfire spoke up first, then waved to Rocky nearby, “City Lord kid, come over and give me a lift so I can see better.”
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Orton had deliberately placed the rune at an especially high position while drawing it with magic power. Even when Aniye and Pelaya came closer, they had to look up to see it clearly. However, this greatly troubled Hammerfire. Being just over a meter tall, even when he got close and looked up, he still couldn’t see the rune clearly and had no choice but to let Rocky lift him.
Hearing this, Rocky hurried over to Hammerfire, grasping the dwarf around his barrel waist and lifting him high in the air so that Hammerfire could see the rune clearly.
“This really is a masterpiece…”
Being lifted by Rocky, Hammerfire couldn’t help but express admiration when he saw the full picture of the rune. Then he confidently looked at Pelaya, “Don’t even think about it. This surely wasn’t researched by Orton.”
“You! What nonsense are you talking!”
Being teased by Hammerfire repeatedly, especially in front of Pelaya, Orton was a bit embarrassed and glared with widened eyes, “Why couldn’t I have researched it!”
“You just couldn’t!”
“I can!”
“Stop kidding yourself, you can’t.”
This time it was Pelaya who spoke. Her attention always on the rune, she smiled and glanced at Orton, speaking the truth.
As Pelaya said this, Orton’s face turned beet red with embarrassment, while Hammerfire burst into hearty laughter.
“Alright, stop messing around. In front of the kid, show some maturity.”
Seeing the three nearly argue, Aniye, who held the highest status among them, shook her head helplessly, stopping their quarrel, and then said, “Orton, this must be lost technology from the Land Era, right?”
“Yes…”
Being questioned by his senior brother, Orton stopped arguing, nodding honestly.
“See! I told you it wasn’t your research!”
With Orton admitting the fact, Hammerfire became the happiest person, laughing loudly while being lifted high by Rocky, pointing at Orton.
“Which predecessor researched it?”
At this time, Pelaya asked.
“You have to ask him about that.”
Faced with this question, Orton didn’t respond but looked at Rocky.
Following his gaze, Aniye and Pelaya also looked towards Rocky, causing Hammerfire, who was being lifted high, to be startled, thinking they wanted him to explain.
“City Lord kid, put me down, and quickly tell us what this thing is and where you found it.”
Being put down by Rocky, Hammerfire looked up and asked.
Being asked like this, Rocky indeed felt a bit nervous.
He was really nervous now because in front of him were all big figures. Without exaggeration, each of them had contributed to the progress of this world. In front of these people, Rocky truly felt like a child, as Aniye said.
So under everyone’s gaze, Rocky took a deep breath and then slowly began to speak, “Dear predecessors, this technology I found in a lost research institute, left by a predecessor named Wensel…”
Just as he explained to Orton about the rune before, it didn’t take Rocky long to recount the matter of the Mana Rune. Then he produced the research notes left by Wensel.
“It’s actually… Predecessor Wensel…”
When Rocky finished recounting the whole process of getting the rune and took out Wensel’s research notes, Aniye and Hammerfire exchanged a glance and found that both of their eyes were red…
Among the people present, Aniye and Hammerfire were the eldest, with the most experience, both over a hundred years old. That meant they had both lived during the Land Era, thus having a much deeper understanding of what kind of figure Wensel was than the average person.
So after calming their emotions a bit, Aniye took the research notes from Rocky’s hand and began to read them with Hammerfire and Pelaya.
It didn’t take long for the three of them to read through the notes, then they showed a dazed expression. These three master-level figures seemed to just stand there foolishly, not moving.
Until quite a while later, they finally snapped out of their daze, then collectively looked at Orton and Rocky.
“Why did you two want us to come this time, for…?”
These three, one could say, were some of the smartest people in the world today. So after knowing about the Mana Rune, they immediately understood Orton’s purpose in inviting them. There had to be a significant plan that required their participation. sea??h thё N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
And indeed, as they had imagined, Orton subsequently laid out his plan for the Rune Armor.
Facing his three old friends, Orton didn’t hold back in explaining his entire thought process, even sharing his views on the fall of Tulip City.
After he expressed all his thoughts, he looked nervously at the three, seemingly awaiting their reaction.
“I think… it’s feasible.”
“Since the Mana Rune is meant to replace the Magic Stone, the difference between the runes in terms of construction and transmission compared to the Magic Stone is very small. Although using runes for armor does indeed require a new transmission system, there shouldn’t be too many technical hurdles.”
The first to speak among the three was Pelaya. Being an expert in the mana framework field, she believed Orton’s idea was entirely feasible, at least in the field she specialized in, there were no technical barriers.
“I think it can work too.”
At this point, Hammerfire also nodded, “Using runes to replace Magic Stones… there might be some technical challenges, but it’s certainly feasible. Moreover, the idea is simply brilliant! If the runes can be used for armor, then the barrier in terms of mana in the armor will be broken, and future armor will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes!”
“Senior brother, what do you think?”
After the other two had expressed their opinions, Orton then looked at Aniye. Although Aniye wasn’t well-known to the outside world, he was a genuine authority in the academic community, having participated in the research of Sky City. His opinion was extremely crucial; if he found the plan infeasible, it most likely had issues making it impossible to implement.
Therefore, Orton most wanted to hear his thoughts.
Unlike the other two, Aniye didn’t rush to give his opinion. Instead, he furrowed his brow, pondering for a long time before glancing at Orton.
“Orton, your idea… is excellent!”
