Chapter 464: Connection (1/2)
”So, what is the power of artifacts?” Theo asked.
Nadia raised Theo's hand and showed him the number on the bracelet.
15,000.
Theo nodded and saw Nadia grabbing the second bracelet.
”This one is going to measure the Magic Power only. If it has the same number, it means your Magic Power is pure.” Nadia put it on Theo before answering his questions. ”Anyway, the power of artifacts is random, but they must be related to their previous owner's myth. For example, the blue ceramic you found…
”It was a fragment of Osiris' crown, Atef. It contained his power of Death. We have no clue about the sword though.”
”I see. Doesn't that mean humans can make artifacts as well?” Theo asked. ”I mean, not every artifact was from Gods or Goddesses, right?”
”You're correct. However, only a few people can make an artifact and the resources required are a bit too extravagant. Those who can make it are literally set for life.”
”Unless he kicks the bucket,” added Theo with a serious expression.
”Yep. Fame and danger go side by side after all.” Nadia nodded and said, ”Anyway, those people are so important that it can literally boost some families to the peaks. Your Griffith Family has one too.”
”I am not a part of them.” Theo shrugged. ”Anyway, what is the requirement to make an artifact? I mean, they will contain the power depending on their owner, right?”
”Yep. However, all the artifacts produced right now came from the help of the Elemental Stone.”
”Elemental Stone?” Theo frowned, learning the term for the first time.
”They are those stones that you see in the Magician's staff. Some of them are in the equipment to create a more durable armor or something. The Elemental Stone can channel your Magic Power better and enhance it a little bit. And it will match the affinity you have, thus boosting your power. That's why it's quite popular, even though it's expensive.”
”Where does the stone come from?”
”Mining of course. We are mining on the other side this whole time and finding some Elemental Stones mines. Or that's what we call it. They just can't put it inside the periodic table since it literally carries Magic Power. What? Do you want a new element added to the chart?”
Theo looked away and soon saw the same number as the first bracelet.
”Okay, there is no other energy fused with your Magic Power. Now, we are going to check whether there is something attached to your organ or not.” She nodded and brought a few needles. ”I'm going to poke you a little bit. You should know about acupuncture, right? It's similar to that.”
Theo nodded and let her do it. ”By the way, may I know what the Griffith Family has done to you to make you this hostile?”
”…” Nadia's eyebrows twitched as she stopped for a moment. ”I am not gonna answer that question. However, you must be aware that I don't really like you, right?”
”Yeah. Because of the Griffith Family.”
