![]() ![]() It roared in silence, scolded and cursed. Even a person like the Queen, who knew nothing about the occult arts, could feel the chilling aura overhead. That those crystals were like living things, or part of some kind of living thing, but in the form of crystals to human eyes…Something invisible to the naked eye rose up from the ground, and hovered over the mine. It was like a heartbeat that pulsated with the intonation of the incantation. The Ether crystals layered on the walls of the pit emitted a strange light, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. The Queen sat up straight and stared at the pit. After standing still for a moment, they raised their hands and began to chant incantations. Once they left the rain shelter, they were all drenched like chickens, but they were not afraid at all, they all had expressions of ecstasy. The six commissioners at the bottom of the high platform got up and scattered to the six points of the pit. She preferred a warm fire and a soft recliner, although it was far from time for her to rest. She was too old to sit in the miserable wind and rain to watch a ceremony. I’m afraid it’s going to rain.” The queen hated the rain, even though a rain shelter had been built on the high platform. “We’re perfectly capable of performing it, ourselves.” “What about the ceremony?” The Queen frowned. “Carter got word that some undesirables were trying to disrupt today’s ceremony. He rose at once and bowed his head in deference. ![]() “Where is Carter?” The Queen asked one of the commissioners at her feet. In time, the whole world would fear them. The undying earth soldiers who obtain the charter would become a tireless, woundless, and fearless army. Of course, not a free charter will, but obey the eye smart charter will. The Committee would hold a secret ritual in front of her to inject into those ten undying soldiers into the charter. This so-called “ribbon-cutting ceremony” was just a pretense. Even the Queen was secretly surprised that so many had been produced in such a short time. Those were the robots created by the Committee – their undying soldiers. However, the focus of their attention wasn’t on the glittering Ether crystals, but on the ten silvery gray human figures in the center of the pit. All of them gazed at the mine with greedy and thirsty eyes. Without exception, they were the top people in the country. Some of them were key members of the two houses of Parliament, some were cabinet brawn, some were socialites, some were noblemen. The seats below the platform were occupied by the members of the Committee for Scientific Progress. However, she was clutching a handkerchief, and her white bones silently revealed her feelings. His mother was much calmer, at least on the surface. ![]() Lord Perlilla was acting nervous and restless, as he constantly squirmed in his seat, like there were thorns under his buttocks. As the owners of the place, they were rightfully seated second only to the Queen. To the left and right of the Queen sat Lord Perlilla and his mother. The best view at the top belonged to Her Majesty, the Queen. It looks rather like a stepped grandstand by a stadium. For today’s ceremony, a high wooden platform was purposely built at the side of the mine. For those crystals, it wouldn’t be uncommon for the nations of the world to fight even for a hundred years. Helen of Troy had triggered a decade-long war, but even the world’s most beautiful woman, in front of these Ether crystals, would have to bow her head. Such a pit was enough to make all the countries of the world go into a frenzy. The Ether crystals were like a layer of ice crystals that covered the walls of the pit, so bright and eye-catching that people couldn’t open their eyes. ![]() The ruined remains of the manor were demolished and cleaned up, then the foundation was dug several feet deeper to form the deep pit in front of them. When the manor was destroyed by fire, a large number of Ether crystal deposits were found beneath it, which was turned into a mine. It was no wonder since the place was originally located under Perlilla Manor. The shape of the deep pit was square, not like a mine, but like the foundation of a building. The Queen sat on top of a high platform that overlooked the deep pit in front of her. Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations ![]()
