Chapter 1696: Poaching Talent
Gilbert did not linger long at Sein’s place.
Before departing, Sein presented him with a few specialty materials produced by the Divine Tower of Ashes.
They were not especially valuable—just a gesture of goodwill, meant to strengthen their already promising relationship.
After seeing Master Gilbert off, Sein let out a soft sigh and returned to his laboratory.

At the very center of the experimental table in the laboratory, the Magic Cube floated and slowly rotated as it underwent its metamorphosis.
It had been some time since Sein returned to the Magus Civilization’s main base, yet the cube showed no sign of completing its transformation.
Sein had a feeling that this advancement process would take longer than he had anticipated.
Numerous tiny magic patterns covered the cube’s surface.
Many of them had been etched by Sein himself only recently. Even now, the work was far from complete—he had finished barely one-fifth of it.
The cube’s metamorphosis and advancement required more than simply devouring technological laws. Sein also had to guide through elemental energy.
Radiating specks of starlight and covered in complex magic runes, the cube cast a breathtaking glow throughout the quiet laboratory.
