Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1400

Chapter 1400 - When All Are One (Part 2)

"When someone lives as long as we do, the only thing that matters is the content of someone’s character. Valeron was nothing but a poor farmer turned soldier who spent the first part of his life struggling to have three hot meals a day.

"Do you really expect someone coming from a hard life to be handsome and well built? What you saw in paintings was the result of body refinement and not what brought Tyris to him. The only thing that mattered was his heart."

Seeing that something ethereal like character didn’t get through Balkor’s thick human skull, Salaark sighed. Then she gave him a practical reason to believe her words.

"Do you know why Tyris and I have taken such an appearance before leading our countries? Because it makes it easier for us to obtain their obedience and respect. People love their rulers with their hearts, but first humans need to l.u.s.t them with their eyes."

"On top of that, if not for Tyris’s love for Valeron, we wouldn’t have power cores today."

"What?" Balkor said in amazement.

"Tyris wanted him to be capable of using his equipment to its fullest, but there’s only so much time to think on the battlefield. A powerful artifact has many enchantments and managing them all requires a focus that real combat rarely allows you to have.

"That’s why she found a way to give Valeron’s artifacts the ability to be almost self-sufficient so that he would only need a thought to express his needs and his equipment would deliver.

"She is the inventor of the miracle called power core." Salaark said.

"If you’re the god of Forgemasters, then how could Tyris be the one to invent power cores? On top of that, what does love have to do with their invention?" Balkor asked.

"Being the best Forgemaster doesn’t mean also being the best inventor. I’m capable of crafting anything better than anyone else, but creativity isn’t my forte nor is it Leegaain’s. Fenagar is the god of discovery just like Tyris is creativity incarnate." Salaark said.

"What’s the difference?"

"Discovery is finding something that already exists, creativity is using current knowledge to create something new. There’s a reason why Lochra, Baba, and all of the Rulers of the Flames come from Garlen." She replied.

"As for your question about love, it’s actually simple. You often hear about a man becoming one with their sword, but that’s just a myth that only Tyris’s invention made true.

"Blades are just sharp tools with no feelings nor loyalty, like a dog that would welcome the assassin who broke into your home in the hope for a tasty treat. A sword doesn’t feel nor does it care for who wields it.

"Countless warriors died on the edge of their own weapon. No person can ever become one with a blade simply because with each swing the warrior changes while the blade stays the same.

"The invention of power cores changed that. The artifact learns from its user and vice versa, becoming an extension of their body. If not for Tyris’s love and determination to have Valeron return to her alive, power cores wouldn’t exist and neither would Blade spells." The Guardian said.

"I see. You mean that because of her feelings that she had the drive to achieve such a feat and it was because of Valeron’s that he mastered the Saefel artifacts to the point of creating Blade tier spells." Balkor said while pondering the revelations.

"Why didn’t they use the Cube against me and are you capable of doing what Valeron, what Tyris did?" Balkor asked the last two questions that plagued his mind, wishing to go back to the Forge and learn how to Forgemaster such powerful equipment for himself. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}
