Chapter 923: Void Ore
“The Void Ores?” The person who was reporting had a confused look on his face when he heard this.
I nodded before saying, “Tell me everything that you know about these Void Ores.”
Everyone in the room looked confused when they heard this, though it seemed like there were different reasons for the confusion.
Klein and the others were confused since they didn’t know what these Void Ores were either.
But the ones that came from the former Midra Kingdom were confused like they didn’t know what was special about these Void Ores. They were confused like I had asked them a question about something that everyone should know.
It was the regent who took over explaining what the Void Ores were.
The Void Ore was a special ore that was found in the Midra Kingdom’s land and the reason it wasn’t as well known was because…
“It has no use at all.”
The Void Ore was hard to break down and it seemed to be resistant to magic to a certain extent.
Well, resistant was a bad way to put it since it was better to say that it directly absorbed magic or rather it absorbed mana out of the air.
That meant that even natural fire that had traces of mana in it would be weakened because it would be absorbed by the Void Ore.
Right now, the only reason that it was being mined was because of how hard it was. It was used in different places as a type of paperweight rather than being used for anything proper.
The few samples that were melted down with special flames were turned into special shields that were strong against magicians, but these things weren’t used for long either.
After all, there were rumours that the Void Ore shields would explode.
It wasn’t just a rumour actually.
Since the regent was the former second prince, he had access to records that no one else could access. Those records showed that in the past, when they used one of the Void Ore shields too much, it suddenly exploded.
No one understood why it exploded like that, but no one dared to use items made from Void Ore that easily since then.
They were afraid that the same thing would happen where the Void Ore would explode like before.
So all of the Void Ore shields that had been made before were stored in the royal treasury.
It did take quite a bit of effort to make these Void Ore shields, so they were considered treasures.
After hearing everything that the regent had to say about the Void Ore, I was filled with excitement.
Though I did keep a calm look on my face and didn’t show any of the excitement that I felt. The more that I heard about this, the more certain of a guess that I had about the Void Ores. After all, it seemed like the only logical explanation for the properties of the Void Ores. But I didn’t let myself get too excited just in case I was wrong.
If I let myself get too excited, then I would just be disappointing myself in the end.
The system hadn’t said a single thing even though the regent had said all of this, so there was no way of confirming if what he said was real or not. At the same time, there was no way of confirming if my guess was correct or not.
The only thing left for me to do now was…
“Show me a sample of the Void Ore. I’m sure that you have a sample in the castle, right?”
Everyone was once again surprised and confused when they heard this.
They all looked at me with a strange look as if they couldn’t understand why I was so insistent about this Void Ore. But there wasn’t anyone that said anything since they didn’t have enough information to say anything.
They just waited to see what would happen.
The regent paused for a few seconds, but he eventually nodded in agreement before saying to everyone, “Then let’s adjourn the meeting here. We’ll come back tomorrow and continue this meeting then.”
Then after that, he stood up and waved at me to follow him as he walked out of the room.
Though they had been dismissed, it didn’t seem like anyone was planning to leave.
They were all staring over at me as I stood up to follow the regent.
At the same time, there were a few people that came along as if they wanted to see what would happen.
There were Klein and a few other royal guards, as well as people from the former Midra Kingdom.
All of them were higher ranked than the others, which was why they had been chosen as the representatives to follow me.
I followed the regent without a word until we arrived at what seemed to be a storage room. However, this wasn’t just a simple storage room.
The luxurious decorations on the door, the powerful guards that stood at the entrance, and all the different small things about this place made it clear that this was a very special place.
This was the royal treasury.
The regent just gave a simple nod to the guards that were at the door before saying, “Open the doors.”
The guards were surprised to hear this and to see us here, but they still followed the regent’s orders.
When the doors opened, there was this sparkle that came out from inside.
All of the things in this royal treasury were the precious items that had been stored by the former Midra Kingdom’s royal family over the years. Any one of these things would be considered a priceless treasure if they were taken out, but they were all gathered here. However, the regent just ignored all of this as he headed in a certain direction.
Only when he reached a corner did he pick something up and turn around with it in his hand. “This is the Void Ore shield.”
