Chapter 4420: The Quickest Way to the Heart (Part 2)

’It’s so detailed that any Forgemaster worth their salt can use it.’ Orion admired the elegant simplicity of the blueprint.

"If you know better enchantments or a better design for an artifact of this kind, I’m open to suggestions." Ajatar said. "I’ll perform all the preparatory steps on my own and assemble the power core before your arrival.

"We won’t have to share anything, and each one of us will be able to focus solely on their task. You’ll handle the magic circles and conjure the world energy, while I’ll take care of the Forgemastery process."

"I like how you think, yet there is a wrinkle in your plan." Orion replied.

"Which is?" The Sapphire Dragon asked.

"I also want only the best for my son-in-law, and I think you are underestimating the importance of the preparatory phase." Orion said. "Here’s my proposal. You show me your best rune sequences for the job, and I show you mine.

"Then we compare notes and decide which set of runes is better suited to support the power core of the weapons, combining them if necessary."

"I thought you didn’t want to share the Ernas techniques with me." Ajatar tilted his head to the side.

"I don’t, but this requires what, eight rune sequences?" Orion asked.

"Ten." Ajatar replied. "One sequence per element, amplification, absorption, dispersion, and cloaking."

"It’s still nothing." Orion shrugged. "If you say that you won’t copy them, I’ll trust your word. Worst case scenario, we are just exchanging a few Runesmithing sets of which some might be inferior to those we already know and only valuable as study material."

"Dream on, human. There’s nothing you can do that my clan hasn’t perfected millennia ago." Ajatar snorted. "Still, I appreciate the thought and am willing to enrich the Ernas legacy with a drop of knowledge of the Drakes."

"We’ll see whose legacy gets enriched, Dragon." Orion was just as proud of his own family legacy and the Forgemastering techniques he had created as Ajatar. "A fair warning.

"If we use the majority of the Ernas runes, I’ll be the one to perform the Runesmithing process."

"Challenge accepted." Ajatar nodded.

The following day, while Solus gave Ajatar a tour of the new floors of the tower and the Sapphire Dragon picked Morok’s best tissue samples to use as an amplifier from the Spark, Lith moved back to Lutia.

It gave the Mana Injector the opportunity to advance the Awakening process of that side of the Trawn Woods and Raaz all the time he needed to plan the farm work that would begin as soon as the soil softened.

It also allowed Gilly and the families of the Sigil Demons to spend quality time with their loved ones.

"You know you can visit me anytime at the Mansion, right?" Locrias asked.

"I know, Dad, but there’s nothing we can do there. Even worse, being surrounded by the lavish furniture and Lith’s noble guests makes me feel like a beggar at a Royal Gala." Gilly replied.

She avoided mentioning that comparing herself to the women of the Verhen family always did horrors for her self-esteem. After every visit to the Mansion, Gilly looked at her reflection in the mirror and wondered why life was so unfair.
