Who would know if Muse didn't know?
Muse didn't answer their questions. Instead, he took out his cane and tapped it on the floor.
With a loud noise and the sound of gears turning, a medium-sized machine slowly appeared in front of them.
"That's —"
Horus seemed to recognize the device. Just as he was about to name it, a groan interrupted his words.
It was Melantha, who had fainted earlier. Now that she had woken up, she rubbed her dizzy forehead and groaned as she sat up. Coincidentally, after Melantha sat up, she was facing the long metal table, and on the table was … Lawson's head.
Melantha stared at Lawson's head in bewilderment. Fragments of memories kept flashing in her mind, and she began to tremble because of them.
Seeing that Melantha was about to be trapped in her own thoughts again, Lawson opened his eyes and said softly, "Melantha."
Melantha's frightened expression didn't turn into joy when she heard Lawson's voice.
Lawson looked at Melantha who usually kept her emotions to herself and said, "Don't worry. I'm not going to die just yet."
While Melantha and Lawson were talking in low voices, Angor and the others were quietly observing Muse's operation.
This was a very complicated mechanical device. It had a beetle-like outer shell, but there was a single horn on top. Under Muse's control, the single horn began to emit a faint light.
"What kind of machine is this?" Greya whispered to Angor.
It was his first time seeing such a thing as well. But he saw something like … a signal tower?
"It's a mini signal tower." Antonio confirmed his suspicion.
Fifty years ago, Floating Mech City developed a signal tower for long-distance communication, which brought the southern wizarding region closer to each other. However, the construction of a signal tower was very expensive. Some wizard families could not even afford one even if they spent all their money. Therefore, the signal tower was not widely used. Only some large wizard organizations would build one.
According to Antonio, signal towers were usually fixed structures. But Muse thought it was too inconvenient. It would be better if he could carry it around with him.
That was why the mini signal tower was created.
However, while it was convenient, the mini signal towers were even more expensive and could not be popularized. Muse couldn't bear to build one for himself.
Even Muse couldn't afford it, let alone the others.
"I want something that's portable, long-distance, and inexpensive. I don't know when we'll get it," Antonio said.
Antonio's comment reminded Angor of radio. If he could achieve radio transmission, he would be able to solve the problem easily. Unfortunately, the wizarding world could not reproduce the glory of radio. Perhaps it was because of the influence of primal mana, or something else.
There were too many problems that needed to be solved in order to break the shackles of another civilization. At least, not yet.
"Maybe it will happen soon," Sunders suddenly spoke up.
Everyone looked over. Even Muse, who was operating the mini signal tower, was attracted by Sunders' words.
He wasn't an alchemist, but he sounded confident. Was it because he witnessed something like this?
There weren't many people who could let Sunders witness such technology. So far, there was only one person in the room.
"Did you find a way to break the transmission barrier?" Muse looked at Angor with glowing eyes.
Angor knew that Sunders was talking about using the dream wasteland for long-distance communication.
Angor looked at Muse's curious eyes and considered. "I did have some ideas recently, but I'm using another method to solve the problem. But there are still some problems I can't solve."
In other words, he was still in the research stage. Muse nodded. "Feel free to contact me if you need any help. I'm looking forward to seeing your results."
Antonio joined in. "If your first achievement is to solve the transmission barrier, Mister Padt, I'm sure it'll cause a huge stir."
Muse added, "Maybe we'll set up a showroom on the top floor for you."
Angor smiled but didn't say anything.
While they were talking, Muse's signal tower finally received a message.
A screen appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone looked at the screen curiously and wondered who Muse was going to contact. Who would know about that Mystery item?
As the light flickered, a figure slowly appeared on the screen.
It was an arrogant woman, who was sitting quietly in a pure white hall with a cup of hot tea in her hand.
White hair, cold eyes, and elegant elegance.
When everyone saw the woman's face, they all thought of the same name: the Twilight King.
Muse contacted Isabelle, who returned to Dark Castle after a thousand years.
Angor realized that Muse was talking about Isabelle. Isabelle was only possessed by a remnant soul, but she didn't lose her memories. She spent a lot of time traveling around the origin world.
Angor also remembered that Isabelle obtained the Spirit Whisper from a Mystery item in the origin world.
The Germinal Sect came from the Origin World, so Isabelle might have some knowledge of the Origin World.
Isabelle looked up at the screen. She was surprised to see so many people, and there were even a few familiar faces.
Isabelle didn't ask why Muse contacted her right away. Instead, she nodded at Angor and Sunders before focusing on Muse.
"May I ask why you're calling me, Principal Muse?"
Muse didn't hesitate and quickly described the 'arrow' incident to him. In order to make it more accurate, he even asked Angor to use an illusion to recreate what happened in Floating Mech City.
Isabelle seemed to have thought of something and fell into silence.
"I can't tell anything from the illusions you've shown me. However, when it comes to arrow-type mystical items, I have indeed heard of one that has a similar effect as what you described. "
Isabelle's words brightened everyone's eyes.
"When I was traveling in the Origin World, I learned by chance that an organization called the 77th Red Sox had obtained a mysterious item."
"It's called 'Hotep's Wrath', also known as —"
"Loser's Arrow."
