16 Chapter 16(New material, It was weird)

Hearing this, Avern raised his eyebrows a little as he turned his gaze towards the woman and asked.

"Did they bring a sample back?."

"Yes Sir Avern, I had already ordered them to place it in the research building."

"Good, I will be there tomorrow to check things out. For today, I am going to focus on the new material for the construction of our buildings"

"Sir Avern, are you referring to the weird mixture of rock and those silvery powder from the mountain?"

The woman asked attentively. Seemingly to be curious herself since she had never been there at the mining site.

"Yes"

Avern casually responded.

Got off the chair and walked to the side cabinet.

Pulled the drawer out and snatched a palm-sized stone from within.

Walking back to the chair, Avern then placed the stone on the table and continued.

"This is the early sample that our people had gathered from the mountain. It's easy to use and extremely tolerant to water. "

"Can be shaped and it barely possesses any danger to us... That is for now. I still haven't done a throughout resty for its unknown side effects"

Hearing all of this, the woman strode forward next to the table and glanced toward the rock curiously.

Tapped on it one time with her finger and asked.

"How do we even use this?"

"It's simple, I had tried various methods to dissolve this substance so that it will be moldable enough for our uses. "

"And the method was through the constant movement of water from the upper flow to the lower flow."

"S-sir Avern, I don't quite understand this method. Can you clarify it a bit more?"

She continued to ask with a confused expression on her face. Walked around the table a bit more and propped up her hand against her chin.

Seemingly to be contemplating Avern's words just now.

"It's more of an unknown means of procedures that we barely got to know of. We know how to use it by coincidence, but not how the process went in detail. "

Avern slowly explained the knowledge that he currently had as he scrubbed the stone with a small wooden stick that appeared to be sharp at its edge.

"The general understanding of it would be the changes in the upper flow and the lower flow."

" Colliding in the middle and thus dissolving this material, not into smaller pieces, but the flexible form of it. Making it easier to be shaped according to our needs. I call this the silver mountain stone"

After hearing all of this, the woman then continued to ask.

"Then, are we going to continue with the research of this stone first or directly use it for construction materials"

"Not now, it would be a week later. I still needed to conduct a couple more tests before announcing it as the main building material for our houses. "

"Understood..."

She nodded back and took out the same parchment of greenish paper from her pocket.

With the same pencil utensil similar to that Avern had used just now and began writing some words on it. Seemed to be taking a set of notes for her management work.

Noticing her serious look towards the parchment of green paper.

Avern casually asked back with a smile as he leaned his back against the chair comfortably.

"Still hard-working as ever eh, Karina?."

*tap*

The tip of her pencil abruptly stopped on the right edge of the green parchment. Stood her eyes low for a moment and said.

"It's still... complicated as ever. "

"I won't give up on the ancestor, just so you know"

Avern casually added in from the side.

"..."

"But sir Avern, it had been 30 years already since the Ancestor disappeared. The chance for him to be out there would be extremely slim"

Hearing her words, Avern then got off the chair and strode forth next to the window.

Glanced slightly toward the scenery outside and gently said.

"I was the last person that talked to him before he left. "

"T-this?... Is this true!"

She exclaimed out in horror, immediately stepped close to Avern and asked.

"Then do you know the reason for his departure?. Why did the Ancestor leave us?"

"I don't know the reason."

Avern shook his head and continued.

" He never told me anything about it before leaving. Though he did mention something else, it was a bit blurry in its meaning"

"What was it?"

"Well, I will just repeat his words and then you hear it for yourself. It was quite weird"

"Okay..."

Karina nodded back to his words.

Seeing that she was ready, Avern then said.

"Remember this Villar, one day they will come out and hunt your favored people. You will see yourself, the degraded morality belief that they will accept. If was not of your fault, Villar. They were simply incomplete..."

"And there you go. Even I don't understand what the Ancestor was trying to say."

Avern sat back after saying those words.

Leaving behind the dumbfounded Karina on the side as she began pondering those words again and again.

After a couple more minutes, Karina turned his head towards Avern and suddenly said.

"It sounds like a conversation between the ancestor and someone else..."

"Yes... That was pretty obvious. But just who was it?. And what does it mean by those warnings?. I felt extremely uncomfortable just by remembering it."

Avern replied while sitting.

Scratched his head for a while and frowned a little as he tried to scribble a new set of words on the green parchment below.

"Should we spread this information to the public?. I think the people needed to know this..."

Karina suddenly said as she strode closer to the table.

Seeing her shadow overlapping with the parchment, Avern raised his head slightly and said back.

"It won't be necessary. This information will be kept between you and me... Don't tell anyone else regarding this..."

"..."

"Okay then..."
