The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7117

Chapter 7117: The Radiant Medallion

The unveiling of Marigold generated a lot of buzz.

What had managed to create this time completely exceeded their imaginations.

The potential of this ’tech’ was enormous!

Many people wanted to know how Ves managed to ’humanize’ this artifact and find a way to replicate his methods.

Unfortunately for them, it was useless even if Ves told them the reason. They still needed to find a way to acquire a so-called elf, and that was incredibly difficult even if they possessed a lot of territory.

Elves could appear anywhere at random. They could pop up in the middle of interstellar space, but could also emerge on the surface of a lifeless moon.

While there were means to detect their emergence in advance by monitoring the flow of E energy, it was impractical to cover every part of human-occupied space with the necessary sensor platforms.

The only other way to make this mysterious method more available was to figure out a means to artificially produce these elemental elves.

That was clearly beyond everyone’s means. Even Ves had no clue how he could do so without acquiring another elf.

Even if he managed to obtain one, he still needed to conduct a lot of research before he could succeed in his goal.

There were only a few ways Ves could speed up his research. He could either cooperate with the Red Collective or find a way to persuade his mother to share her knowledge.

Neither of these options sounded optimal to him. Fortunately, there was no need for him to make a choice yet as he hadn’t even acquired another elf as of yet. He would wait until he managed to get his hands on another specimen before thinking about how to use it as a seed for an elf production machine.

Perhaps most people who were aware of the existence of elves all assumed they could only be formed through a natural phenomenon dictated by the heavens, but Ves did not believe in this assumption.

Anything was possible in the Age of Dawn.

After Aurelia held her new artifact in her hand and opened up the canopy to admire the artistry that her father put into it, she threw the umbrella into the air.

The artifact shifted back to her humanized form.

As soon as Marigold took on her new appearance, she gently floated back to Aurelia’s side.

The two soon held hands as if they were best friends. The two smiled at each other without reserve.

Only a short time had passed and already they felt they had met their soulmates!

Aurelia did not forget to turn towards the person responsible for giving her this birthday gift.

"Thank you papa. This gift is priceless. I like it much better than the original Flower Parasol. I will forever cherish it, no, her. Marigold is not just an item anymore. She is alive, and that means she has become my newest sister."

"Miaow!" Clixie took one look at the new artifact and reluctantly approved of Aurelia’s sentiment.

She was slightly concerned that Marigold would command much of Aurelia’s affection, but the Rubarthan Sentinel Cat was glad for the extra protection offered by this superdimensional artifact.

Of course, Aurelia was not blind to the cat’s concerns. She reached over and pulled Clixie into her arms. She soon began to scratch the cat behind the ears.

"Do not worry. I have more than enough room to love you both. Each of you is dispensable to me. I hope the two of you will get along."

"I have no problem with that." Marigold said with a smile. "I was made to accompany cats."

Her upper canopy was adorned with images of different cats. It even featured a representation of Clixie!

The female cat also felt more and more comfortable in Marigold’s presence.

As Aurelia settled down after receiving her wondrous gift, her mother approached with a gift box in hand.

"Your father has worked hard to create a gift that eases his greatest concern for you, which is keeping you protected against the evils of the universe." Gloriana said. "I knew I could count on him for that, so I have spent my time and resources to prepare a different gift for you. As your mother, I want you to do more than survive the coming decades. I want you to follow into our footsteps and rise to greatness in your own way. Whether you do so as a soldier, a statesman or a scientist is up to you, but what is not in doubt is that you will need to absorb and master a large amount of knowledge. Some people believe that only absolute force is necessary for success. I do not agree with that assumption. I believe that you can do anything so long as you have enough grace."

Gloriana slowly let go of the gift-wrapped box. It automatically flew in front of Aurelia while begging to be opened.

"Go ahead, Aurelia. Your grandmother and I have worked hard to put together this gift."

Wait, what?

Ves looked at Gloriana.

He had heard that she insisted on preparing her own gift even though Marigold was impressive enough to cover for her share. He let her do so as long as she did not overburden herself with too many responsibilities.

Ves hadn’t known that she would team up with one of Aurelia’s grandmothers in order to put together the birthday gift.

The question now was whether that grandmother referred to Madam Constance Wodin or Oblivion Empress Cynthia Larkinson.

As Aurelia gently parted the wrapping and opened the box it released a small surge of E energy.

Ves immediately deduced the answer.

Marigold already began to do her duty as Aurelia’s companion and servant by picking up and holding out a necklace with both hands.

It was an impressive masterwork that definitely conformed to Gloriana’s style!

The craftsmanship was refined and perfect in most ways. The ’chain’ actually consisted of 6 interlocking layers of very thin links. Each component was extremely fine and made in just the right way.

This was particularly impressive as Ves could easily tell that it was made out of superdimensional alloy!

Although the necklace did not integrate any electronic components, it did not need to do so. The primary purpose of this necklace was to serve as a carrier for the large and prominent jewel set in the center.

At first glance, Ves identified it as a Mentalist Crystal fragment.

That was already a generous gift. The Hunting Association was the only known supplier of Mentalist Crystals, and its output had always remained limited.

It took a lot of trouble and effort for Ves to obtain a whole Mentalist Crystal, but it had been worth it as it served as one of the key hyper materials that elevated the performance of the Minerva Mark II.

Yet for Gloriana to settle with just a single Mentalist Crystal fragment seemed disappointing to Ves.

He knew his wife well enough that there was no way she would be satisfied with such a simple gift.
