Chapter 3334 Menadion's Lesson (Part 1)

By the time Lith came out of the bathroom Menadion was done picking the clothes on the bed she liked and had moved on to rummaging through Kamila's wardrobe for more. "...this and this. I'll take a look at Epphy's clothes as well and let you know if there's anything else I'd like to wear and of which color."

Lith felt a sting to his wallet, but aside from narrowing his eyes made no comment. "How do you feel, Ripha?"

"Much less bitchy. Thank you for asking." She welcomed him with a polite nod of the head. "What's for breakfast?"

"Let's find out." A snap of Kamila's fingers put everything back to its place and Warped the three of them to the Dining Hall.

"Good morning, Mom!" Solus rushed to Menadion, hugging her tight. "I missed you."

"I missed you too, baby." Ripha said while kissing her daughter's forehead.

"I have big news." Kamila waited for the embrace to break before pulling out the updated Camellia. "Look what Lith did for me."

The meaning of the flower and the two buds was clear to everyone and the whole family congratulated Lith for the romantic gesture.

"Look what Daddy did for you." To everyone but Elysia who tried to bite the mystical flowers and was sorely disappointed finding they were ethereal in nature.

"Ba!" She expressed her displeasure in a barrage of baby babble that only a tasty bottle of milk could end.

"Ba indeed." Rena glared at her husband while Elina grunted at Raaz,n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I'm just a blacksmith. I can't do anything that fancy." Senton raised his hands in apology.

"You could have still made something. It would have been better than the nothing I got." Rena scoffed.

"I gave you everything I could, dear." Raaz said with pride. "Why do you act as if breaking my back to put food on our table wasn't enough?"

"It was more than enough, silly. It was everything" Elina's expression softened for a second. "But what about Aran? What about Surin? I didn't expect a grand gesture, just a romantic one to celebrate their birth." Yet only for a second.

"Yeah, Dad. Where's my present?" Aran had no clue what was happening but the chance to get a new toy was too good to pass it up.

"So, what are the plans for today?" Lith rushed to change the topic and rescue his father from the danger he had unwittingly put Raaz into.

"Depends. Did you get any news about Valtak's funeral?" Menadion decided to give

The ability of the Ears to listen to the mana flow goes deeper than mere battle. It's what made me the best even when there were three more Rulers of the Flames active during my time." Menadion said while putting the helm on Solus' head.

"Behold!" Ripha rhythmically clenched and released her fingers as the metal shapeshifted into blades, rings, hammers, and a full set of armor.

"By my mom!" Solus gasped in amazement yet the others saw nothing worthy of such a reaction.

"Lith, you are next. Then it's your turn, Sally." Menadion brought the piece of Adamant back to its initial state before passing the Ears to him and starting the shapeshifting

again.

"Fuck me sideways!" Even though there was no spell involved, Lith could see the mana flow of the enchanted metal alone and how the interaction with the other resources affected it based on which tendrils Menadion activated.

It allowed him to predict the shape that the mana circulatory system of an artifact would take based on the placement of the mana crystals, the order in which they were bonded to the metal, and how every further ingredient would affect the final result.

In the few seconds Lith wore the Ears, Menadion showed him hundreds of possible combinations. In theory, they were all equally good, but that only because there was still no enchantment involved.

Based on the shape and function of the artifact, the mana circulatory system was more suitable for defense, offense, or specific elements.

And that wasn't all.

Even though the different configurations carried the same amount of energy which was produced by the same resources, each pattern resulted in a different beat of the final

mana flow.

Some rhythms reminded Lith of his own, others of Solus', and a few made no absolute

sense to him.

At least until Menadion conjured one more tendril of Spirit Magic, connecting herself to

the Ears.

Lith could now listen to her mana flow as well and compare it with the various configurations of the Adamant. Ripha browsed through the possible mana circulatory systems for him, starting from a hammer that albeit powerful would be discordant with

her mana flow.
