Chapter 1191: Rare Element

Roland picked up a lead box and weighed the silver metal on his hand. Before it was activated, it was no different from ordinary iron. The metal was harmless as long as you did not consume it. It was inconceivable that this piece of metal contained an immense amount of energy that did not really fit its small and innocent appearance.

However, this was the very element that enabled men to convert mass energy for the first time.

This was on a whole new level compared to chemical reactions.

There were roughly fifty lead boxes in the cabinet, each containing one kilogram of Uranium-235 that was almost purified, which added up to fifty kilograms in total.

And there were more than one such cabinet in the room.

If he activated all the uranium in this room together…

Then he would probably release real “high energy”.

“Can they really produce what you call ‘the Glory of the Sun’?” Nightingale asked curiously. “Will they really explode upon ignition? It seems to me that they aren’t combustible at all.”

“Do you want to know?” Roland said in amusement. “It’s much simpler than you thought. We just need to put these metal ingots together, and they’ll explode as bright as the sun. The uranium in this one single cabinet will be more than enough to raze Neverwinter to the ground. That’s why Lucia has a great responsibility. If she accidentally — ”

The room suddenly fell into a dread silence.

Lucia covered her hand to her mouth, looking terrified.

“… There’s no way.” At long last, Azima spoke in sheer disbelief, “Are you saying that we might wreck the whole city if we’re careless?”

Hearing these words, Nightingale immediately snatched the lead box from Roland, put it back to the cabinet, and attempted to drag him out of the room.

“Oi… wait, what are you doing?”

“Isn’t that obvious?” Nightingale said desperately. “I’m getting you out of this city and ask people to get rid of these things! Lucia, call Wendy to contact the Administrative Office right now!”

“I… I’ll go see Princess Tilly,” Azima said. “Only she could mobilize the Sleeping Spell to take action.”

“Stop! I was just joking — ” Roland yelled.

It took him quite a while to calm everyone down.

“Are you sure this is just a joke?” Nightingale grunted.

“Ahem, yes… this is just a theory,” Roland added quickly. “It’s not that simple to activate these elements. I can’t guarantee that it’ll be successful to be honest even if I use all my power.”

Lucia heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Your Majesty… you scared the hell out of me.”

“This isn’t funny,” Nightingale said accusingly as she glared at Roland. “If Wendy and Scroll heard this, whether this is a joke or not — ”

“They would probably move the new institute to somewhere far away from Neverwinter, right?” Roland sighed.

“I’m glad you know that, or they’ll probably just get you far away from.”
