2732 Engine and Grimoire (Part 2)
"Why? Isn't even that enough for you?" Solus sounded very disappointed in him.
"Are you kidding me? It's amazing, but there was always the possibility it could be even better. I guess that finding the Ears has just become a priority." Lith replied.
"Dya." Elysia saying the Dragontongue word for dad moved Lith and angered Kamila.
Tm going to kill Leegaain. One day, I'll have my vengeance. She inwardly snarled.
"But not as much as you!" Lith lifted the baby showering her with kisses. "You are Dad's first, second, and third..."
Kamila cleared her throat in a way that made him wonder if she could still breathe Origin Flames if triggered. freeweɓnøvel.com
"Priority along with you gorgeous Mommy. You two are my treasures."
"Nice save." Kamila said.
"We are going to talk about this later, farmhead." Solus grunted. "Now, there's only one floor left. It's right above the Prime Engine which is placed between the Library and the Grimoire for reasons that will become obvious once you visit it."
"The Grimoire?" Lith and Kamila echoed.
"Yes." Solus nodded. "An apt name for its purpose."
The room had a solid hardwood door studded with enchanted metals, requiring a clearance level above the Prime Engine but below the Thievery. After all, no one aside from the master of the tower could change the battle form's specs.
The worst a traitorous guest could do was to take note of the current settings of the battle form but that was it.
Past the door, lay a room whose walls were filled with violet-white mana crystals, each one of them projecting a holographic terminal. At the center of the room, there was a now-familiar stone pedestal with a slot just the size of a pince-nez.
"As you guys know, we can use the Eyes to study our opponents, their equipment, and their spells." Solus said while putting the Eyes in their place. "The problem is that a full scan takes a lot of time and brainpower.
"To make matters worse, the data about a dead enemy is usually worthless. Their equipment can be studied with the Thievery while the Grimoire allows us to put to use incomplete scans and records of every spell we witnessed.
"Observe." The Eyes of Menadion started the projection of a past battle, showing the conjuring of an unknown spell and its effects.
At the end of the projection, the available data flowed into the crystals that used algorithms to guess the missing runes and fill in the missing percentage of the scan.
"The mana crystals here work akin to those we witnessed in Grampa's lab, but unlike them, we have no control over them nor can we alter their function. Leegaain has magical computers whereas we have one trick ponies, but still.
