Chapter 2957 Lost Secrets (Part 1)

Also, the Spark enriched with mana the blood and tissue samples that Lith and the others would use as amplifiers for the artifacts they would Forgemaster in the future.

"Okay. Here goes everything." Friya pressed the six elemental gems of her Hands of Menadion against those of the tower's Hands.

A notification in the tower's interface announced to Solus that the synch had been successful, but nothing happened.

"Farm, nothing happened! I knew it was too good to be-" The tower shook below their feet and cracks opened on the stone pedestal in the middle of the Spark. "By my Mom, I think we are putting too much stress on the tower.

"Either it needs to recover more floors in order to handle both artifacts or we did something we weren't supposed to. We need to reverse the process!"

While Solus and Friya tried to deactivate the synch between the two pairs of Hands, the cracks expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Or maybe not. Look!" Tista pointed at the fissures in the stone pedestal that were taking a precise circular form instead of spreading. "We were all wrong. It's no damage. The tower has just created a second slot for the other Hands."

"Correction, we were partly wrong." Solus checked the tower's interface and the status of the core. "I think this wasn't supposed to be possible, at least according to the old tower's schematics and the process is indeed straining the tower."

"What do you mean?" Lith asked. "Aren't identical pieces of the Sets of Menadion naturally capable of working like a single unit?"

"Yes, but the pieces that my mother gifted to her apprentices weren't supposed to link with the tower. It became possible because the tower is incomplete and once synched, the tower core mistook Friya's Hands for another missing piece.

"It's like when we become one, Lith. When it happens, the power core is no longer capable of distinguishing between us and fixes your life force as well. In the case of the Hands, it created an extra slot where there was none.

"The issue is that to do that, the tower core is rewriting itself to accommodate another artifact and deal with its foreign energy signature." _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

"I see." Lith pondered the issue for a while. "This means that as soon as the tower recovers from the changes, we need to go to the Thievery and the Grimoire to make room for the second set of Eyes.

"If we wait for too long, whatever new function the tower can gain by doubling the artifacts it is connected with will be lost. For once, the tower being in an incomplete state is not a handicap but a limited opportunity to gain an advantage."

"What about the Mouth?" Tista pointed out.

"We have no floor that works with the Mouth." Solus shrugged. "There's no rush for that."

"Gods, how can you guys be so calm? Aren't you curious?" Friya was quivering with curiosity.

She stood in front of the stone pedestal while holding the Hands but she didn't dare insert them without permission. A mage tower was the most sacred treasure a mage could have and Friya would never risk damaging such a priceless artifact.

"Yes!" Lith and Solus replied in frustration. "But this is new for us as well. Better be safe than sorry."
