"Actually, the lack of magical adaptability isn't an insurmountable obstacle,"
Miss Tata suddenly remarked.
Fang Hong was startled and snapped out of his thoughts, staring at her in surprise. "How... How do you know what I'm thinking?"
"If Mr. Knight would calm down, he would be able to sense my thoughts as well. The resonance between a Dragon Knight and a Dragon Soul naturally refers to the mutual acceptance on a ntal level,"
"Wait, wait a minute, but...!" Fang Hong stuttered. "Doesn't that an I have no privacy?"
Tata looked at him uncomprehendingly and humbly sought enlightennt: "Privacy?"
"It's, it's like personal space, you know."
"Personal space?" Tata understood the term literally and nodded calmly: "You can rest assured, I will keep mum and safeguard secrets."
That was hardly reassuring, Fang Hong muttered, "But there are so things that even Miss Tata shouldn't see..."
"Why?"
"As for why..." Images unsuitable for children involuntarily popped into Fang Hong's mind, but he imdiately realized this was bad and went pale.
It was already too late.
Tata slightly furrowed her thin brows and asked with a puzzled face, "Who is this woman of the Forest People? Why is she behaving so shalessly without a stitch on? Does Rota have such customs? Strange, I've never read anything about it in any book."
"That, that's not it!"
This was nothing short of a public execution, Fang Hong's face was beet red, and his brain felt like it had a boiling boiler inside, making a whistling noise as steam seed ready to shoot out of his head. If there were a crack in the ground, he would have wished to crawl into it right then.
The more he tried to banish those ssy thoughts from his mind, the more new and bizarre ideas kept popping up. Tata observed him expressionlessly, as if reading through an interesting book.
"Mr. Knight's thoughts are quite unique, teaching a lot of knowledge I've never encountered before,"
Fang Hong said with a morose face: "No, that's not good knowledge, please try to forget it."
"Knowledge is neutral, Mr. Knight; it depends on the person using it," Tata said seriously: "However, if Mr. Knight doesn't want to touch upon this knowledge, I will try my best to bury them deep in my mory."
"That's not what I an..." Fang Hong replied weakly, then quickly asked, "Anyway, Tata."
"At your service, Mr. Knight."
"You ntioned earlier," Fang Hong skirted the awkward topic and inquired, "that the lack of magical adaptability isn't necessarily an unbeatable challenge?"
Tata nodded her head. "I just scanned this Holy Crystal and found it stores many things that might be useful to Mr. Knight."
"This crystal?" Fang Hong looked curiously at the Holy Crystal in his hand. "Can things be stored inside a Holy Crystal?"
"If it's just information, there's no problem," Tata answered: "The designer had etched them into the crystal from the start, and I can read them out."
Fang Hong nodded.
Page after page of Light Pages unfolded before him, covered with dense text, intricate patterns, so notes, so manuscripts, and so design plans.
So were complete, so not; the first thing that caught Fang Hong's eye was the design plan for the Zero-Type Holy Crystal, with layer upon layer totaling seventy to eighty pages. He didn't have ti to read each one but glanced at the author's concluding summary at the back.
Then he realized that the design was incomplete.
Hain Famm explained that when designing the Zero-Type Crystal, he felt his ti was short, and in the end, he completed most of the crystal's concept but lacked the related Dragon Soul and Dragon Knight Rigging.
For the Dragon Soul, he had left so basic suggestions on the blueprints, as for the Dragon Knight Rigging, it was a complete blank, with only a brief ntion: "Left to later generations to explore."
Today, this next generation naturally beca Fang Hong.
He couldn't help but glance at Tata, the summary stating that the Zero-Type Crystal was very special; in its non-attribute state, it couldn't contain most of the conventional artificial Dragon Souls. After many experints, it was declared a failure.
But it seed that Tata was not affected by this limitation.
"Tata, do you know what's going on?" Fang Hong couldn't help asking.
Tata shook her head. "At the mont, I'm not sure either, but earlier, during the tuning, this crystal did not reject much."
"That's good it didn't reject you," Fang Hong felt relieved in his heart, randomly changed the page, and remarked, "Perhaps after going through the entire design, there will be so other discoveries. Let's leave it for later."
Tata nodded.
Fang Hong continued to look down and suddenly his eyes caught a glimr of somber light. "...Type-One Crystal?"
It was an even more hastily written manuscript, ntioning a whole new design, but only a small fragnt of it. Per his habit, Fang Hong flipped to the last passage; indeed, Hain Famm had left a summary there.
It was a short line of text, the note was a bit different from before, sowhat incoherent, and it took him a lot of effort to comprehend the aning.
Fang Hong imdiately realized that this passage could have been dictated by the author in a semi-coherent state for soone else to write down.
It stated that this was a set of design blueprints called "Type-One Crystal," an upgraded version of the Zero-Type Crystal, a more powerful Non-Attribute Crystal, and possibly even approaching the level of an Attribute Crystal.
After reading the entire design philosophy, Fang Hong also couldn't help but marvel.
What is genius, this is genius. Mr. Hain Famm had devoted his entire life to finding ways for ordinary people without magical adaptability to use large Magic Guided Conductors and War Gear.
