"Oh, this isn't fixed yet?" "Yes… we were having a hard time with the Koderan stat change…. Ugh…" Researchers explained as they held their hands up to their ears. "Oh well, it's okay. Mister Sian, come this way please." He then handed what he held to Sian. "This…" "Isn't it amazing? It's an energy force with a will of its own. It's making those marbles float. I heard the researchers here made it accidentally." The blue energy that Sian held was now much more calm, seeming to have lost all their resistance after being held together. The marbles that circled around it also slowed down as if they were somehow connected to the blue energy. "This guy is cute." "Isn't it? I was thinking of keeping it as a pet if it doesn't become strong enough to be used as a weapon. I didn't choose a name for it yet, but I was thinking of giving it a cute one." Sian thought about giving this to Rian as a pet, but he gave up as Rian would not be able to tame this. Lagaope or Sian could handle it, but Master warriors would be burned alive if they survived the ma.s.s marble attack. "I'll send you one as a pet if we create some more. Say… how long will it take for it to be ready?" Lagaope asked a researcher. "We will need about six months to create these energy ma.s.ses in great number." The researcher was still panting even after the energy stopped screaming. "I guess you can take one as a pet when you come with the replacement material for the orb." Sian nodded as he had come to like this cute energy ball. "Hmm, I'll show you where we store our materials." Lagaope then began walking toward the corner of the island, outside the buildings. "Is it located at the corner of the island?" "Yes. We need a lot of water due to the cooling issue. That place focuses on researching various objects collected from around the world, including precious metals." The building they entered after a while was quite different from other buildings. "It feels like a blacksmith workshop." "Well… Dekons wanted the place to be like this. I'm not sure why they like this better." They had all the technology and magic, but Dekons still outperformed them in metallurgy. Thus, the place was filled with Dekons. "We have a lot of metals here. Some are really fascinating… this here is made from a Dekon." Lagaope picked up a small metal stick and showed it to Sian. "Is it special?" "This stick changes the damage by changing how hard it hits, making it weaker." "Huh?" Lagaope explained in detail on how the stick worked, but Sian couldn't understand much other than what it actually did. "So… if you hit someone with this, it will hurt them, but it won't kill them?" "Yes. If you really intend to kill someone then that's another story… it has no use as a weapon. But I'll give it to you." Lagaope gave the stick to Sian. "Why?" "You should beat someone with this from now on. Not with your fist." "…" "It won't even leave a bruise." "Ugh. I'm sorry." Sian apologized as he kind of liked Lagaope who was being really kind to him. "I just showed you the most worthless metal, so I'll show you most precious one now. Come this way." Lagaope walked outside. "Why are we going outside?" "This metal is too hard to store. We couldn't store it inside the building." They walked to where a great magic rune was drawn on the ground. The rune was being sourced by endless energy to create a dark barrier on top. Sian couldn't see through the barrier so he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why do you even need such thing?" "Oh… the metal is just too heavy to store so we need to hold it. But I can't always take it around so we created this dimensional-anti gravity area to keep it in." Lagaope then told the Magic Priests to stop the rune. As the rune stopped working, Lagaope jumped into the rune and picked up the metal that was revealed. It seemed like it was heavy since Lagaope could barely pick it up with his two hands to bring it out. "I'm a RBander but this is really heavy. This… huh? Mister Sian? What is it?" Lagaope looked at Sian who had a weird expression on his face as he observed the metal. "…Where did you get this?" "I picked it up in the Usharan Desert about four years ago. I went there to check on the loud sound that came from the area and this piece was in the spot. Do you know what this is?" Sian wasn't really listening to him anymore. 'That's a piece of ChronPhon…!' It was ChronPhon, which Sian asked Stiel to take care of five years ago.
