Chapter 969 - Symbols



One\'s energy should be only the guide, not the fuel for power. This was one of the basic and fundamental lessons of cultivation that he learnt since he was a kid.

But such a small lesson was unknown to people living in this universe. So Arthur decided to start a great revolution here starting with his own army of mages.

The first step would start by unlocking their potential in cultivation. Then he would gradually shift their mage training to be like the cultivation training.

It would take time for him to have results, but once succeeded he would be pleased and surprised by the results.

"Stunning scene, right?" After five minutes, Arthur decided to break her free from the spell of the mountain\'s beauty.

As he spoke, she jolted awake by his words. "Oh, it\'s really unique," she said before her eyes shone brightly before hurriedly adding, "I knew a lot about their diagrams. We can use the basics of their knowledge and implement it into our arrays."

"Oh, you seem to have an idea already," Arthur\'s eyes shone as well before asking, "what do you want to do?"

"We use runes and words to implement our energy pathways inside the arrays," Sara said in excitement, one that Arthur could relate to. After all, he was once so eager to know everything about the universe and heavens. And he still did.

"Like what?" he asked with curiosity.

"They use drawings," she said, "tattoos over their bodies for example. They showed me many examples of these tattoos."

"Tattoos… That\'s… Absurd," Arthur didn\'t expect this, "how can we use tattoos to control the purple energy or even modify our arrays?"

He couldn\'t get her point yet. So she had to elaborate further.

"Forget about tattoos, the basic idea is to use natural phenomenons presented by drawings. They mark such phenomenons over their bodies in form of tattoos, but we can use another way like…"

"Drawing these phenomenons on the runes," Arthur finally got what she was trying to convey to him. "But did you get the symbols of each natural phenomenon?"

"Sure," she nodded in pride and confidence, "or what did you think I was doing all that time inside?"

"Draw them for me then," Arthur asked, "but have you thought of a way to control the berserk purple energy?"

"Using tattoos, I mean symbols, of course!" she said in confidence like it was something obvious.

"I know," Arthur said before elaborating further, "I mean which symbols we need to use?"

"Ah, I got it, don\'t worry about that," she even waved her hand in confidence, "I\'m sure the combination of symbols I know will be enough to contain this purple fire. But we need to refine it first."

"Refine it? What ores you mean?"

"Yeah," she nodded, "the ores aren\'t pure as the originals told me. They had many impurities as they were formed from a certain type of rock that absorbed their powers all the time."

Arthur understood what she was trying to say. "The prison you mean?" he asked and she nodded in agreement.

"So we need first to purify the stones and make sure only the purple fire remains," Sara said before adding while raising her index finger like she was teaching him, "but we first need to draw the symbols over all the ores you got. This way we will be sure the purple fire won\'t explode in our faces."

"And you need artisans for this mission? Or can anyone do it?" Arthur needed to test this theory as fast as he could.

"Artisan will be better," Sara said, "after all the symbols look simple but any small mistake and it\'s game over."

"What about the process of purifying the ores," Arthur said, "do you have anything specific in mind?"

"They use a different form of blacksmith than ours," Sara sighed as if she had great trouble dealing with this point. "They use the world\'s energy as a fire and furnace to melt down the ores and purify them. I dunno if we can do this. So we can use some of them to help in this matter."

"Oh," Arthur\'s eyes shone brightly as he recognized this familiar way of blacksmithing. He used to do that when making pills and potions. However right now the originals seemed to use this way in a totally different manner.

"You know this way?!" Sara noticed his reaction and couldn\'t bring herself to ask about it.

"Sure, I\'m totally familiar with it," Arthur said, "but as we have volunteers, why should I trouble myself then?"

"Don\'t be a lazy emperor," Sara reprimanded in a joking way, "you should handle this matter with more seriousness."

"I\'m," Arthur laughed, "but why bother with it while we have people ready to do all the hard work? Plus this is better in the long run. After all, I won\'t be available all the time."

"Tsk, excuses, only excuses," Sara joked again before the two laughed on what she said.

"Now let\'s start preparing then," Arthur said before adding, "go to Deem and Gor. The two have great stock of papers to use in drawing."

"Alright," Sara knew he wanted to see the symbols and study them. "But can I ask for something in return?" she suddenly paused from moving and turned to ask in hesitation.

But Arthur already knew what she was going to ask him about. And he already made up his mind about this point a long time ago.

"I\'ll give you all the kids from the castle of the sky," he said, "so don\'t slack off and go and draw me the symbols."

She smiled in content before walking towards Deem and Gor. She didn\'t say any words of thanks but Arthur knew she was very thrilled at the moment to say anything.

After all this was one of the deepest dreams, if not the greatest at all.

Arthur didn\'t hurry to bring those boys back to her.. After all, he knew this wasn\'t the right time for doing that.
