Reborn as the Genius Son of the Richest Family

Chapter 182: Verge of discovery

When he first created Mithril, he had nothing to draw inspiration from other than his own experience as a Mystical Arts user. He inputted the mana into the Damascus steel the same way that he stored mana in his cores. He concentrated his mana core to be as little as possible so that drawing mana from it would result in a stronger release in the spell.

Because of this, when a Fire mage wielded a Mithril Artifact wand with pure Fire mana, then he would find the potency of his fire spells increased by almost thirty percent.

However, the downside of this was that he couldn’t wield any other Mithril Artifact, or else it would interfere with the effects of the first Artifact.

For example, if a mage used a Fire Mithril wand and a Water Mithril wand at the same time to increase the power of his Steam-related spells, then the two Mithril Artifacts would only cancel each other out.

Now for normal people, this would be fine. After all, most only had one elemental mastery.

However, Rebornians who were awakened with the inherent talent to master all elemental mana would be forced to stick to only one mana for their Mithril Artifact. It was very limiting.

Michael thought he would have to find more GodForge pieces before he was able to solve this particular problem, but as it turned out, all he needed to do was learn more about Physical Arts!

By transferring what he learned from seeing Agnes use Physical Arts to create a Mithril Artifact, then he could change the limit of what Mithrils could do.

Imitating the mana flow of Physical Arts users into Mithril would allow the resulting Artifact to become less potent and less concentrated, allowing the mixing of different elemental mana without it canceling each other out!

To explain this better, the previously condensed Mithril Artifact could be thought of as a solid block of metal.

If one solid block of fire element tried to pass through another solid block of water element, then they would collide and prevent each other from advancing further.

But if he were to make those elements a lot less condensed and turn them into a gaseous form, then they would be able to coexist together in a single space!

[There is viability in your theory, but the full effects of such change are hard to predict. It is best to test it out on your own.]

Michael didn’t wait any longer and jumped into his own shadow, arriving in the Nation of Reborn within just a single second.

He ascended behind Thrain, who was startled and ended up missing a hammer strike.

”Sorry for coming up unannounced,” Michael apologized.

”No, no, boss Michael. It is our pleasure to have you here in our forge.”

Thrain put down his Mithril hammer and wiped the grime off his hands.

Michael looked around and saw multiple furnaces spewing fire and molten slag as dwarves worked on their projects nonstop. They hammered glowing metal in a rhythm, only stopping to greet Michael as they realized his presence.

This was the Reborn Forge, where every metal product needed by the Nation was made. Specifically, this place was where the Ancient Dwarves like Thrain worked to create Mithril Artifacts to supply for the growing population of Rebornians.

The rate of production wasn’t that fast since only a few of them were able to evolve as Ancient Dwarves,

”What can we do for you, boss?”

”I’m going to need a few Damascus Steel samples to make into Mithril. I think I’m on the verge of discovering something new,” he said to Thrain.

The dwarf’s eyes widened before he quickly scrambled to the chest by his side, which was fully stacked with unprocessed Mithril ores.

”Is there a particular shape you’re looking for?”

”Make a full set of armor for me and the Dragonborns,” Michael requested.

Thrain already knew the measurement for them and quickly went to work. And since Michael was quite excited at the thought of putting his new theory to the test, he couldn’t just sit still. He looked for an empty workstation and helped Thrain create the Damascus Steel armor they were going to create into Mithril Artifacts!

Meanwhile, on the very outskirts of the forest, an Orcanine Orc dragged a full sack of cacao seeds towards Neo Orcus.

He was one of the guards specifically tasked by his Chieftain to give the Rebornians their sacred cacao fruits.

As he walked closer to Neo Orcus, his wolf-like ears suddenly twitched as they picked up a metallic DING echoing in the forest. Now, this sound was already quite strange to hear in the usual silence of the environment, but then, this sound was followed by raucous shouting.

The direction this sound came from was none other than the new territory of Neo Orcus.

”Are they worshipping something like us?” the Orcanine Orc thought to himself.

He thought they were the only ones who shouted and banged their chests as a form of prayer for the Goddess. But as it turned out, they weren’t the only ones.

Curious as to what the Rebornians considered their Sacred Grounds, the Orc made a slight detour and followed the cheering in the distance.

It didn’t take long before he saw a metal fence separating the forest and a large open field on the horizon.

The Orc peeked through the holes of the fence and saw both humans and demi-humans positioned in strange places in the field, looking up at the sky as if searching for something.

And beyond them was a large crowd who was the source of all the cheering.

His eyes narrowed as he saw a demi-human with dragon-like scales and a tail behind them. He recognized her as one of the attendants of the young Reborn Chieftain.

She lifted one of her feet and used the momentum of her fall to throw a small ball toward the demi-human opposite her.

The Orcanine Orc’s ears stood in attention as he focused on the ball, just exactly like a curious dog.

He wanted nothing more than to chase after the ball.
