Chapter 923: Void Ore
"The Void Ores?" The person who was reporting had a confused look on his face when he heard this.
I nodded before saying, "Tell me everything that you know about these Void Ores."
Everyone in the room looked confused when they heard this, though it seemed like there were different reasons for the confusion.
Klein and the others were confused since they didn't know what these Void Ores were either.
But the ones that came from the former Midra Kingdom were confused like they didn't know what was special about these Void Ores. They were confused like I had asked them a question about something that everyone should know.
It was the regent who took over explaining what the Void Ores were.
The Void Ore was a special ore that was found in the Midra Kingdom's land and the reason it wasn't as well known was because...
"It has no use at all."
The Void Ore was hard to break down and it seemed to be resistant to magic to a certain extent.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
Well, resistant was a bad way to put it since it was better to say that it directly absorbed magic or rather it absorbed mana out of the air.
That meant that even natural fire that had traces of mana in it would be weakened because it would be absorbed by the Void Ore.
Right now, the only reason that it was being mined was because of how hard it was. It was used in different places as a type of paperweight rather than being used for anything proper.
The few samples that were melted down with special flames were turned into special shields that were strong against magicians, but these things weren't used for long either.
After all, there were rumours that the Void Ore shields would explode.
The regent paused for a few seconds, but he eventually nodded in agreement before saying to everyone, "Then let's adjourn the meeting here. We'll come back tomorrow and continue this meeting then."
Then after that, he stood up and waved at me to follow him as he walked out of the room.
Though they had been dismissed, it didn't seem like anyone was planning to leave.
They were all staring over at me as I stood up to follow the regent.
At the same time, there were a few people that came along as if they wanted to see what would happen.
There were Klein and a few other royal guards, as well as people from the former Midra Kingdom.
All of them were higher ranked than the others, which was why they had been chosen as the representatives to follow me.
I followed the regent without a word until we arrived at what seemed to be a storage room. However, this wasn't just a simple storage room.
The luxurious decorations on the door, the powerful guards that stood at the entrance, and all the different small things about this place made it clear that this was a very special place.
This was the royal treasury.
The regent just gave a simple nod to the guards that were at the door before saying, "Open the doors."
The guards were surprised to hear this and to see us here, but they still followed the regent's orders.
When the doors opened, there was this sparkle that came out from inside.
All of the things in this royal treasury were the precious items that had been stored by the former Midra Kingdom's royal family over the years. Any one of these things would be considered a priceless treasure if they were taken out, but they were all gathered here. However, the regent just ignored all of this as he headed in a certain direction.
Only when he reached a corner did he pick something up and turn around with it in his hand. "This is the Void Ore shield."
