The Rich Cultivator

As Tyler worked in a secluded corner of the castle grounds, the map had led them to an ideal hidden spot for creating the arrays without being disturbed. While Tyler was focused, Lily, Mana, and Mathilda stood outside on watch duty, scanning the area to make sure no one approached.

Mana, growing bored of standing guard, floated back to Tyler, her curiosity getting the better of her. "What kind of array is this?" she asked, peeking over his shoulder.

Tyler glanced up from his work, patiently explaining, "The array in that building is a combination of an Alarm Array and a Lightning Array. The Alarm Array sends a signal to the main system somewhere in the castle when it detects an intruder. The Lightning Array stuns the trespasser and paralyzes them."

He handed Mana a small array disk, gesturing for her to take a closer look. "This one, though, diverts that signal. Instead of alerting the main array, it receives the signal and interrupts it. The only problem is the signal doesn’t travels in a straight line, so we’ll need to set up a bunch of these smaller arrays to cover the entire area and make sure the signal gets disrupted."

Mana’s attention waned, her eyelids drooping as she fought off sleep. "What about the paralysis part?" she yawned.

Tyler smirked. "We could use Anti-Lightning Charms, but I doubt they’d be strong enough. So, instead, I’m making Lightning Rod Arrays. They’ll absorb the lightning before it can hit us."

He handed her another array disk. "Help me copy these."

Excited to help, Mana grabbed the copper pot hanging at Tyler’s side and placed the array disk inside it.

Then she took an array disk out.

Then another one..

And another one...
