Sky and Sheriff walked on the street while viewing a holographic map that generated from a small device as the daylight slowly faded.
"So, supposedly according to K, this area has the highest possibility, so he would want us to check it out first, but I had consulted Chris, he said the area next to the area of K's prediction would be a better option although K's predicted point indeed has the highest possibility." said Sky as he referred to the map.
"So, which place should we head to first?" Sheriff asked.
"Hmm... Based on how I know Chris analyzed things, I believe these two areas are connected, so either way would be alright, just that I trusted Chris's analysis more, but at the same time I really want to know how is it differs from K's choice." said Sky, rather indecisive.
"How about we separate up and check out both of them?" Sheriff suggested.
"Sounds like a good idea, I will take... Uhm... Maybe we can just follow Chris's path and then we will check out the other path later." said Sky.
"Well, that works too." said Sheriff.
And so, they decide to head to the place Chris chose.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alliance's forging room. Chris is watching at the magma that flowed out through a high heat resistant tube and slightly cooled down at the cooling container. He looks rather impressed.
"Hmm... This is such an excellent feature, I might be able to make something out of this magma waste. But seriously, I wonder how often this feature will be used? After all, it's quite uncommon for anyone to forge weapons with molten stone, as the end product could be quite fragile compared with metal." said Chris.
"Well, in fact, you are the first person that did so since this forging room was built. As our crafter felt that it's not worth the effort to forge such a fragile product." said C-760.
"Well, normally it would be a waste of time, but this is different." said Chris.
Then, he applied a heat-resistant barrier around himself before opening the cover of the furnace.
Inside the furnace, all the magma had been flowed out, leaving a few solid chunks of dark grey stone that doesn't show any sign of molting.
"What? How could this be possible, the temperature inside of the furnace had reached almost five thousand degrees Celcius just now before you opened the cover. Just what kind of minerals are these?" C-760 exclaimed, rather astonished.
"Well, this is a kind of rare mineral that can only be found in Kapis Dimension, it has an extremely high heat resistance, so it is almost impossible to molt it, unless you added some special ingredients." said Chris with a slightly suspicious smile while taking out a jar of gel-like substance from his working case.
Then, he scooped out a big scoop of it and pour it into the furnace. As soon as the substance been added, a weird barbecue aroma came out from the furnace.
"Uhm... May I know what was that?" C-760 asked, a bit terrified.
"Trust me... You would not want to know." said Chris with a creepy smile.
"Ah... It can't be what I think it is, right?" C-760 asked.
"Nah, just kidding, it's just some dragon fat I extracted from an obese dragon many years ago." said Chris, in a casual tone.
C-760 is relieved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Sky and Sheriff had reached the location they were heading to, it's actually a cathedral. After some conversation with the authorities, they are given permission to check out the cathedral's underground basement. They examined the basement in detail for a whole thirty minutes but found nothing. It's a neat and normal basement with all the items needed for a cathedral.
"Hmm... Nothing extraordinary here, perhaps Chris finally made a mistake. Anyway... Did you or any of your colleagues detect anything weird in here?" Sky asked.
"Yes, for your information, until this morning, we occasionally heard some rather disembodied and weird screaming, and sometimes sharp scratching noise from the other side of that area of the wall." said the person in charge while pointed at a wall at her left side.
"From the other side?" Sky asked, rather intrigued.
"Yes, the clergymen here stated that it might be some wandering spirits from a graveyard nearby." said the person in charge.
"Ah... Well... I don't really believe in that sort of explanation. I guess that two points are connected after all." said Sky, Sheriff nodded, he agree with Sky.
"Uhm... What do you mean by that?" the person asked.
"Well... Uh... Would you mind if I break down that wall by force?" Sky asked, in a careful tone.
"What?"
"Ah... Don't worry about the compensation, I believe Colonel K will be glad to compensate you." said Sky...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alliance forging room. Chris is staring at the magma that had completely harden while waiting for the stones inside the furnace to completely molten. He examined the magma while he is thinking about what he could do with it as the waiting process is much longer for the remaining stone and Chris is bored.
"Uhm... Sir, I had removed the shell of this jadeite ore, if you are this bored, you can try to do something with this instead of that magma." said C-760.
"Ah! Sergeant, you are really a lifesaver... Now, let me have a look at that jadeite ore." said Chris as he took over the stone from C-760.
Chris took out a torch and flashed it to the stone from different angles.
"Ha! Just as I thought, this stone is really not worth the price given, the purple only covered this small area, even smaller than what I expected it would be, if it is not because of that rare material I got as a free gift, I would have asked for compensation from the... Hmm... Talk about compensation... Did K giving any limitations to Sky regarding about that?" Chris asked, out of the blues.
"Uhm... I don't think so, why do you ask so?" C-760 asked.
"Well... That guy is the master of destruction, just saying." said Chris as he continues examining the stone...
