Chapter 656 - Horrors and Wonders (Part 2) (2/2)
”Well, it gets worse.” Gaakhu kept reading. ”The weapons have been left in the open because they are a failed experiment. Instead of acquiring a mana flow and a life force like the Odi wanted, each one of these cursed objects is a bottomless pit of hunger.
”Even with the stasis array protecting them, here it says that they failed to both find a way to prevent the biological part of the weapons from rotting and their owners from being sucked dry of their life force after imprinting them.”
”I take my dibs back. Can we enter the next room now? I really hope to find something that the Odi didn't screw up with or that will not kill me on contact. Maybe even both.” Morok said.
Neshal and Gaakhu performed a series of spells on the closed door in front of them.
”This is odd.” Neshal said. ”I have got only good news. The door is open and is not connected to the arrays in the room. Let me double-check.” Yet she obtained the same results.
Gaakhu shrugged, turned the handle, and stepped inside the next room. In front of them, there was a long metal corridor with many doors along its sides. The walls were made of a transparent glass-like substance, so they only needed to check the corridor for traps before being able to move freely.
Each room was both a Forgemastering lab and a blacksmith workshop. Despite the passing of time, both the corridor and the labs were in pristine condition. The furnaces looked like they were brand new and the Forges were made of pure silver.
”I don't get it.” Morok said. ”What good are furnaces for a Forgemaster and why silver? From perfectionists like the Odi, I would expect at least Orichalc.u.m, if not Adamant.”
”I'm afraid I know the answer.” Neshal said. ”Those furnaces are big enough to fit a human body. I think they conducted their experiments on fusing flesh and metals here. As for the silver, after seeing their failure rate, would you give an Odi Orichalc.u.m?”
”Definitely not.” Morok replied.
The group ignored the labs since they contained just the basic instruments for Forgemastering. There was no trace of blueprints nor ingredients. At the end of the corridor, they found two doors, each one with a different tag.
”This one is the Main Office.” Gaakhu explained with a big grin on her face. ”It might contain blueprints, but honestly I doubt it. I worked in an academy long enough to know that no project would be left in the hands of bureaucrats.
”This is likely to be where Forgemasters handed over their reports and requests for materials.”
”Then why are you so happy?” Neshal asked.
”Because the other one says: 'Armory'.”
