Chapter 783: Research Begins

Exactly, a meditation stones basic function is to clear the mind of its user, allowing him to enter a meditative state easier. However, some psychic magicks also use this stone as a medium. By using these stones to form an array, the rider inside these armors would be able to achieve a harmonised state within the shortest time possible. At that point, they merely have to be trained as per normal to make an army out of them.

By my knowledge, such arrays are highly intricate, and the vast majority of mesmers do not have knowledge of these esoteric arts. Lady Mo Na is a mesmer?

No, but I do come across some oddities in my travels. Counting in Fertinier, I technically did know a fair bit.

Oh? I wonder what other secrets Lady Mo Na are privy to?

That would be a secret as well.

A ladys secret, then. Well, this old man wont get in your way.

What do you mean a ladys secret I mean, I am using my daughters name but bah

But back to the questions. Other than the meditation stones, I can see that the rest of the ingredients are rather expensive. Are you sure this design is meant for mass production?

Thanks to the above reasons, no one here expected my magitek armor to be as powerful as an overlord. Just like how no one here believes I am a man!

Dont worry, I did not expect my words to convince you all right away. I smiled confidently. I will let the end result speak for itself.

Fascinating. So Lady Mo Na still has some tricks up her sleeves which she has yet to divulge? Meister Amori laughed accommodatingly. Very well, a mystery that reveals itself too early is no mystery at all. I will eagerly await the day when my eyes are opened. Perhaps history will be written that day.

May we have a fruitful cooperation.

May we indeed.

Now that I had convinced Meister Amori, I had essentially convinced everyone else on board. With everyone on the same page, the start of our project proceeded swimmingly. The dwarven craftsman, Meister Belud, proved as skillful as I was led to believe. The Dwarves were a race famous for their blacksmithing, mining, drinking, fighting, boasting, and blacksmithing. Meister Belud were all these, just with a bad attitude

Meister Amori was an easygoing person. His skills were unquestionable as well, but he was also an amiable senior, one that everyone in this underground lab respected.

With the schematics thoroughly studied, work began on the outer armor of the magitek armor, led by Belud and his human disciples. However, the outer armor was no less intricate than the insides, causing the dwarven meister no small amount of headaches. But that was nothing a barrel or two of ale couldnt fix.

One of the greatest problems was that they had to ensure the durability of this armor. Belud had the inspiration of using magicite and mithril, both materials worthy of any epic-grade craft, to form an alloy, creating a new material in the process. One with the durability of magicite and the conductivity of mithril. Unfortunately, the execution wasnt as smooth sailing. After all, one was primarily employed in staffmaking, while the other was employed in weapon making. Separate branches that would require more work to combine.
