YM778.TV Chapter 652 - Nara
"Mecha?" Arthur was oblivious to this word and then Amelia started to explain.
"Deem used the knowledge he deciphered from the arrays and pillars he studied so far before creating a revolutionary concept."
She pointed to Madly who simply touched her ring and a circular device appeared next on the table. It was almost one meter in diameter and was made out of ore.
The color of the ore was golden with pieces of red forming a circular collar with a central orb of silver energy that kept dancing all the time.
"What is that?" Amanda asked while Arthur and others had the same question in their mind.
"This is the power orb," Amelia got the chance to enjoy bragging over her main rival here, "It\'s a very strong array embedded on the collar while salvaging the energy from inside a pillar."
"This contains… a pillar?" Arthur asked while Amelia nodded.
"Don\'t belittle this small baby here," Madly laughed, "This contains energy enough to destroy the entire lake city and kill everyone inside."
Everyone gave her doubting glances but Arthur had his eyes shine brightly out as he realized something. "This is the reason for all those explosions lately."
"Indeed," Amelia nodded, "we had to test it, and so many explosions had to occur."
"And how is this related to the mecha you are speaking of?" Amanda asked.
"Madly," Amelia didn\'t directly answer as she asked Madly to take out the giant mecha from her ring. It was giant, not less in size than Doaf and others.
"This…" Arthur felt instant threat coming from this mecha as he stood up while going up front to examine it, "where is this energy coming from?"
"From this power orb," Madly answered, "it\'s used to fuel the mecha and provide it with enough energy to move around and fight."
"Impressive," Arthur muttered while touching the outer shiny metallic exeleton of this mecha. "How strong is he?" he asked.
"We… didn\'t try it out yet," Amelia sighed, "every time we did, the user couldn\'t handle its pressure for a long time to show off its abilities."
"Really?" Arthur was speechless before asking, "if we can\'t use it then how can it be valuable?"
"We need to use the special army to test it," Madly hurriedly said, "after all they are the ones who excelled during the past wars and gained the highest benefits of your training."
Arthur returned slowly to his seat and didn\'t hurry to give his agreement on her request.
That special army was considered the future of his empire. Formed mainly out of those who managed to use the spiritual energy and started to unlock their cultivation bases.
For others they were monsters, able to exert both magical power and cultivation techniques, yet for Arthur they were still newbies. He knew they still had a long road ahead of them, but at least he was able to put them on that road.
Unlike others who trained over the concept of spiritual energy since their preparations inside the garden before the start of the contest, this army of no more than fifty thousand mages was considered the crown jewel of his entire forces.
"Are you sure they can handle it?" Arthur said after long minutes of pause.
"C\'mon, don\'t be this protective over them," Amanda laughed before adding, "if they failed to give results then you can cut many resources off their department. After all, I heard it takes a lot of resources that we scarcely have."
The face of Amelia and Madly changed but Amelia hurriedly nodded, stopping the impulsive Madly from ruining this golden chance.
As for Arthur, he didn\'t care about any resource consumption. He only cared about the results. After the last war he knew that using numbers alone wasn\'t enough to secure his empire and dreams.
And so he started to revolutionize the thinking of everyone, opening up the entire garden resources to anyone having any idea that might help to strengthen the empire and their military abilities.
Despite him not expecting such results, but at least if the mecha failed that power orb could be used already in wars.
Such devastational effect would be alluring to any, including himself. He wasn\'t thinking about the mecha as he knew nothing about it, but his mind was filled with thoughts of testing such power orb over those coming from the higher realms.
If it worked, then it would be great to use them as a weapon in times of need. Unlike what Amanda was aiming for, even in case of their failure Arthur decided to increase the size of his support exponentially to Amelia and her team.
"Alright," he nodded, giving his consent to Amelia, "you are free to select anyone to test it."
"Hehehe," Madly couldn\'t help but chuckle in strange confidence, "we already selected our mage."
Arthur glanced at her in doubt before a familiar face appeared coming from far. "Oh, you selected her?" he was surprised to ask, yet Madly and Amelia only smiled and said nothing.
He watched Nara, the one who hailed from the Trokas empire, walking in a stiff way towards them. "That reminds me of her," he muttered while recalling the world\'s will events that happened in that world.
And thus he recalled the world\'s will girl sleeping till now inside his garden.
"I was summoned," Nara said in a strict tone before doing a small salute where she hit her chest with a closed fist.
"You know what to do," Amelia said before adding, "and you agree to perform the test."
"I agree," Nara said while evading any eye contact with Arthur who inwardly sighed.
This girl was already such a fierce leader and after meeting him he led her on the path of a fighter instead.
Yet she held strong abilities as a leader, a thing he started to consider investing in.
"Go and show us how this thing works," Arthur said while she gave him a short glance before turning around and started to climb the mecha.
