Chapter 387 (2/2)
”What kind of Magic Stones are these?” Tilly asked ”They don't seem easy to carry”
”Stones of Light” Elsa pressed on the stone in the Prince's hand and channeled her ht to streaht of a torch When the blinding light became too much to bear, she finally lifted her hand ”More than half of these are Stones of Light Besides the ones produced by the Chaos Beasts, the rest were all battle spoils we gained fro Devil's Towns”
”Hoere the Magic Stones made into different sizes?” Anna asked curiously ”If they were all God's Stones of Retaliation, then they couldn't be cut with ic power, but the block of God's Stone of Retaliation was extremely hard and couldn't possibly be cut with knives either”
”An entire block?” Elsa was stunned ”Are you talking about the God's Stone of Retaliation vein?”
”It's right under Border Town's mines” Roland explained the story of the treasure map ”Its surface is very hard, and even a flintlock can only leave a tiny dent in it”
”I see” She couldn't help but smile ”You used this map to find my laboratory tower Yes, it really was used by the Quest Society to mark the God's Stone of Retaliation vein and was a chosen location for the next Holy City”
”Holy City?” Everyone asked surprisedly in unison
”Why else do you think there would be hundreds of cities on the Fertile Plains, but only three Holy Cities?” She lifted the corners of her mouth ”These supposed Holy Cities are all built on top of God's Stone of Retaliation veins We needed a lot of God's Stones of Retaliation to research the relationshi+p between e-scale dae in conflicts betitches
”So you were planning to build a New Holy City on North Slope Mountain?” Roland asked in surprise
”Yes, if eren't defeated so quickly in the Battle of Divine Will” Elsa sighed ”It was the sae in the Ie—you now refer to it as the Hermes plateau, which is where the church's Holy City is now”
”The church also continued using the term 'Holy City',” Tilly said with a frown, ”so it is even more possible that they are descendants of the Union”
Thank goodness they didn't build the church's Holy City in Western Region Roland sighed quietly in relief
”Anyway, the God's Stone of Retaliation is basically indestructible, so cutting it requires a special solution,” Elsa continued to explain ”It contains the blood of witches with ic power or the blood of demons”
”Blood?” Sylvie couldn't help but gape
”Yes, and the amount of blood needed depends on the Stone,” she said, spreading her hands ”In the Holy City, all adult witches were required to donate blood Once it leaves the body, the blood lost ic power very quickly, so it ible witches would be ordered by the Union to go to the mines and donate blood, and any captured demons would also serve this purpose”
”Have you done this as well?” Anna asked
”Of course,” Elsa said, nodding ”Even the Three Chiefs of the Union were no exception”
”What about demonic beasts?” Sylvie asked ”Soic power”
”Yes, but the levels of their ic power are very low, so their blood can only be used to deal with shattered stones, and they have no effect on the actual veins,” Elsa replied ”After the God's Stone of Retaliation is cut, its hardness will greatly decrease with its size, and its range of impact will shrink as well For example, the God's Stone of Retaliation that people carry around with them can be easily smashed with a hammer”
