Chapter 94: The Golden-Eyed And The Humans (3)
Traditionally, magitek used the mana stone obtained from nature or Beasts as is.
It wasn’t that there weren’t any attempts to dissect it, but most studies failed or had very limited success.
However, with Count Saliere inventing a new machine a year ago, a new potential in materials-magitek began to sprout.
The refiner.
As per its name, it was a device that refined pitchblende stone and converted it into light yellow powder. By inventing this machine, Cromwell Saliere demonstrated that the stone was more effective when refined rather than using it as is.
While further studies needed to be done to figure out which industry the refined powder could be applied to, it wouldn’t be long until the time came when it’d be widely used.
Cromwell entrusted this applied research to Lotte, because he believed that his daughter was an unprecedented genius in the history of their family.
That was why Lotte knew what this machine was.
“Why is this here....”
The family’s secret had been revealed to an outsider in a completely unintended way.
“Oho, doesn’t this look interesting.”
