"The reverse?"
The light-brown-haired boy gave a nod.
"Yeah. Like... Someone, or maybe a group of people, who lived a few decades ago, created a weapon by... using those artifacts?"
Kairen tilted his head. That didn't seem right.
"Weren't they investigating the source of the powers? They found out about the Atypical matter that way and... then created those weapons..."
Kairen paused again.
Which one was correct? Did those scientists find out about Atypical matter and then created weapons that would create a reaction in those ancient artifacts all by chance? There was the possibility that those scientists studied or maybe used those artifacts in their research... and now some of those artifacts were in the hands of Philomns, who were unlike the scientists 50 years ago, successful in creating bombs using Atypical matter.
Kairen thought the latter was most probably the correct guess, or maybe closer to the answer.
