Chapter 1458 - Mining Deities (2) (2/2)

”Puu..” Madeleine's lovely laughter filled the inner space. She would have taken this little boy into her arms if she could have. This scene really was too adorable.

Dyon sighed, accepting the situation for what it was. ”Little Rain, what do you know about that rock?”

Out of curiosity, Lilianna too looked at the oddly shaped floating rock Dyon was pointing to, but she was surprised to find that she didn't recognize it either.

'Ah, my rock.' Little Rain responded possessively, his speech already becoming more refined.

”Okay, okay, it's your rock.” Dyon took a step back.

After giving Dyon a wary glance, Little Rain looked toward the floating rainbow rock fondly. 'My rock is very hard, the hardest rock there is!'

Dyon coughed awkwardly, doing his best to ignore the innuendo. ”Is it only hard? Nothing else?”

'What else should there be?' Little Rain asked in confusion.

Little Yin giggled. 'Mineral spirits are some of the more wildly varying types of sprites there are. Some like pretty minerals, others like valuable minerals, others like minerals with various special properties like being exceptionally light, or being capable of ignoring certain laws like space or time. It seemed that Little Rain has a fondness for very hard minerals, ones that grade very high in durability.

'I was wondering why he built a mountain of coarse silver instead of literally anything else. As a mineral spirit, it could have built a mountain of grandmaster grade or even higher minerals, yet it chose a master grade one. It makes sense now, coarse silver isn't known for anything but its toughness. In fact, it was capable of piercing through you, remember?'

'So when he says his rock is very hard… He literally means its just very hard.' Dyon sighed. He had been holding out hope that maybe Little Rain was still trying to find the words to properly describe things. But, it seemed that he had described it perfectly.

'It's not all bad,' Little Yin consoled. 'Usually, with a disposition like this, Little Rain should also be fond of battle. He could be very useful to you if you pair him with the right minerals.

'Also, there's a reason you couldn't recognize this mineral. Mineral sprites, and just sprites in general, have the ability to birth new substances into the world the supersede what already exists. You may not know this, but the mortal plane can only naturally give rise to substances up to the grandmaster grade. Every existing plant or mineral of the comet grade or above was at some point created by a higher existence, a cataclysmic or heavenly event, or a sprite.

'This new mineral is likely Little Rain's contribution to the martial world.'
