Chapter 960 - Taking The Ores In
Arrays were built on runes, that was the main rule of all arrays. Flags also could be added. Also arrays work by taking certain places and form star shapes to be activated.
However from what Arthur saw, the diagram worked by hand seals. The originals made a big circle with one in the center to activate the diagram.
Each made a seal with their hands before he saw a gush of purple energy emanated from their bodies. "So they use the diagrams to control the purple energy… That's interesting," Arthur muttered.
In his mind he started to take some notes regarding this. He was sure the seal used now were just the tip of the iceberg. And he was very interested in knowing everything.
He wanted to get a good grasp over this so he could control the energy inside the ores. If the problem of the berserk energy was solved, then he could easily melt down the ores and reform them as he liked.
But the question still persisted, would anyone be able to do that or only the originals?
"I need to have a long discussion with them," Arthur said while watching a thick pillar of purple energy rising to the sky. The moment it reached the little stars up there, it started to cause a massive whirlpool.
The purple energy of the ores up there seemed to be resonating with the originals' energy. That made Arthur doubting the ability of anyone else to control these ores.
"That might be a problem," he thought as he wouldn't transform these killing creatures into workers.
His only option was to use them in time of peace, just like now to smelt down as many ores as possible. If he could do that and store away a good deal of melted ores, then things would become easier.
He still didn't know on what scale he was talking about. He didn't know even if this process would succeed or not. However, as far as he could tell, this diagram worked fine to control the ores up in the sky and slowly bring them down.
"Gege…" After five minutes of waiting, the ores finally reached the ground. Arthur feared for them to detonate so he hurriedly asked Gege to interfere.
'To where?' Gege summoned her portals while asking.
"To the original world," Arthur didn't think twice about this. No one would be able to control these berserk ruins but the originals.
Besides he noticed that part of the old memories of the originals came when they saw these ores. It seemed even when they forget things, their pain memory worked to bring back some.
And he needed to know as much as possible from their old and forgotten civilization technology.
"Woosh!"
"Woosh!"
"Woosh!"
This time the ores went in a docile manner inside the portals and vanished there. Unlike before, the portals didn't experience any harm or damage. It was thanks to the diagram of the originals.
As their work here was finished, Arthur sent the originals back inside. He made sure to check them first and he was surprised to see fatigue on their faces.
"They got exhausted from doing this?" Arthur was surprised before he decided to search for that flower and gave each one of his originals a flower.
Hopefully this would help them to surpass their limits and unlock their potential.
But it was still weird to him. They fought in brutal wars before, even against the world's wills, mages, monsters, and grandmasters from higher realms. They never showed the same fatigue like they did here.
"Keep an eye over them for me," Arthur said to Gege before adding, "and bring Sara back. We need to continue our travels."
'Why not scan the world by the tree and see if there are nearby places with flowers?' the golden dragon suddenly said.
"Good idea," Arthur nodded in agreement. However he suspected that he could find flowers easily.
He didn't yet know what circumstances these flowers grow in. or what made them survive and appear all of sudden in one place.
Despite all the time that passed from the fall of the originals, the flowers kept buried underneath the falling ores from their prison.
The quickest way to find these flowers was by looking for settlements with purple walls and ore veins and mining them.
"Is it safe?"
The moment Sara came to this world, she instantly jumped and hid herself behind Arthur. Her tone expressed her panic and that made Arthur smile despite not trying to.
"It's all over now, see?" Arthur pointed to the sky where the normal light of the sun prevailed with no equal. Sara looked up then she looked around. After a long minute she seemed to calm down by a long sigh.
"What was that?" she asked while walking away from Arthur, but not far.
"These are the ores I was talking about," Arthur said but the next moment Sara's face changed when she heard that.
"Forget it," she decisively said, "these ores… they are too dangerous to handle."
"Oh, it's not that," Arthur never expected her reaction to be like this, "these ones are wild forms of the ores."
"What if the calm ones turned like this? What will we do then?" Sara said as if she already made up her mind.
"There is no better ore to make my currency than that ore," but Arthur didn't let her go further in such matters, "I'll make sure things won't go wrong. So trust me in this."
"…"
He knew that Sara was speaking at the moment not based on her wisdom or experience, but out of her fear. He wouldn't let fear control his decisions no matter what the consequences were.
He also demonstrated his authority here. He was the sole emperor of this empire and everyone should do as he says. It wouldn't be logical for him to listen to her words, especially when they were groundless.
As there was nothing else to say or do, the two resumed their journey.
