Chapter 2269: 2269. Understanding Crystals
"These red crystals are amazing. They can adjust the light that comes through it and focus on the heat aspect. It's more similar to melding fire and light mana than anything else." The researcher that came to Su was ecstatic about what they had found.
The constant rambling from him was not as annoying as many others would see it. To Su, it was important information that allowed her to broaden her mind and understand how these islands might be useful. She had been here for five days now listening to the ways that the light altered when coming in to contact with the crystals that made the island up.
The idea that the light mana would pass through these red crystals and cause fire mana to be attracted enough due to the growth in heat was interesting to her. It spoke of the bond between light and warmth that the world and many races living within it needed to survive.
Along with that, the pink crystal island had a colder effect compared to the red crystal. A piece of each crystal had been brought to the beach base where the main group of researchers had created a more solid experimental tent.
They had this little test set up to record what they saw as the sun rose and fell on the crystals. The different lights that came through were more than just colorful. They actually altered the form of light mana that went through them.
Some that bonded better with fire mana, or like the purple crystal, bonded better with the shadows cast nearby the crystal. The others were similar but appeared to just be harder to understand. Whether they bonded better with other manas or just were a unique form of light mana as a whole, it was enlightening.
While the researchers had focused on the uses of these forms of light mana and how they worked overall, Su had been seeing more benefits in them for her fighting style.
She had learned to use light as a shield. That was the best way for her to utilize the light as part of how she fought and also how she related to the multiple affinities she had as a half dragon related to Midnight. While it was not as powerful as a mage or as Walker, Su knew that her use of mana and magic was just as useful. Especially since she could make shields and increase her defenses in general with it.
Since Su had learned that she could breathe flames, she had to deal with the side effects at first. Her body had been unable to handle it and even now she could not use such an attack often. However, the idea that she could use a different form of light shield to potentially bring heat and cause flames might be interesting. Maybe a dragon breath without actually using dragon breath?
This idea came to her as she sat looking at the red crystal from the islands. The researchers had told her that the islands must be made of unique stone due to the tides breaking down the weaker stone and soil that surrounded the stronger crystals formed when the ground itself was being formed. Most likely an ancient volcano or monster.
She was also very interested in what the dwarven golems could find. There were plenty of pieces of crystal and stone that had fallen in to the water off of the cliff sides. They could be used to carve out weapons, or just as small pieces of them could be used to enhance weapons
As Su held the broken crystals, she realized that they were very tough. A lot tougher than the crystals that were broken and fallen off the sides of the islands by the waves. "This might be better than what we learned before." her hand began to show dragon scales over it as Su put her full force in to trying to break the crystal.
She failed.
'The crafting guild is going to love this." She smirked and the researchers that had come seeing that su had arrived all began to murmur. "Losing the nutrients or whatever caused the color to change caused it to become much tougher. So much that I can't break it. This sort of crystal might not have a name yet either. Let's find more."
The commotion brought everyone to the roots of these flowers. It also brought many that tried to test the soil to see if those nutrients could be found. The key to why the island formed these crystals and why they might be perfect for these plants to use had to be found. It was a mystery that anyone would wish to solve.
The curiosity that blossomed within Genesis was never ending. And right this moment, Su had just managed to help show off a solid key to what might be the answers to what could be done with these crystals, plants, and even the remnants of the islands as it changed over time.
"The divers have brought up some pieces of crystal, apparently the base of the island has evidence of old volcanoes. Just as the theory stated." another researcher shared this and then became caught in the current situation. Su was just smiling, she enjoyed this more than she expected.
