"Her Highness' ability . . . isn't flying, right?" Nightingale muttered .

"No, but she can fly with a Stone of Flight . However, when she's carrying heavy objects, even a Stone of Flight won't help much," Roland answered as he looked at the "Unicorn" hovering in midair . "What's the matter?"

"Although you talked about planes many times and also showed me the drawing and the internal combustion engine, I still feel it incredible . . . Men can fly like a bird with just a little bit of extra help," Nightingale remarked impressively . "The plane, to be honest, is none other than a bunch of metals and wood . "

"Yes, it's made of metals and wood, but it's us who pieced them together," Roland said with a faint smile," We used our hands, magic power, and knowledge . So, we don't, technically, completely rely on external forces . "

"Everyone can fly like her, right?" Nightingale asked quietly . "Including me — "

"Yes, everyone, including you," Roland said positively . Nightingale was familiar with the sky . She had ridden on a hot air balloon and traveled with Maggie before, but these past experience was nothing next to a flight where you could have full control over where you were heading . Even Nightingale, a witch with magic power was awed by the plane . Roland could imagine how the mass would react to this new invention . Men's ambition to be free from the pull of gravity had started the moment they had stared up at the canopy of the sky .

The member of the Society of Wondrous Crafts killed in a testing flight was the best example .

The "Unicorn" landed magnificently on the tracks 30 minutes later .





"How did it go?" Roland asked Tilly who trotted to him in excitement .

"This plane is awesome!" she said breathlessly, her eyes sparkling . "It's way more flexible than the 'Seagull' . Wendy's wind control isn't bad, to be honest, but she can't always manipulate the aircraft into the way I want . This is different . I can control everything, including its speed, diving angle and turn, like it's completely fused with me!

"Fused with you?" Roland was mildly taken aback . Although the "Unicorn" was inspired by various biplane models, it was essentially a very crude testing plane . The pilot had to use her instinct to adjust its flying speed and control the aircraft manually . Roland was actually worried whether this plane could successfully take off . However, in Tilly's opinion, this rudimentary plane was as advanced and high-tech as a modern fighter equipped with a fly-by-wire control system and a flight control computer .

That was probably the difference between a genius and a person of mediocrity .

"So . . . are you satisfied now?" Roland asked as he waved at the hangar manager . "That's it for today — "

"What are you talking about, brother?" Tilly interjected . "How could 30 minutes be enough?"

"Then why did you land?"

"To let you know that I'm going to be here for a while . You have a lot of work on your plate, don't you?" Waving airily, she said, "Off you go . You don't have to wait for me . I still want to try some other flying methods . "

Watching Tilly scurry off, Roland shook his head in amusement .





The plane had passed the test, and he was sure Tilly would learn everything about the "Unicorn" in no time . Since Tilly could leave the plane anytime, there was no need for him to monitor the subsequent testing flight anymore .

"It seems you were dismissed," Nightingale gloated .

"Shut up," Roland said gruffly while rolling his eyes . "Let's get out of here . "

Nightingale disappeared into the Mist .

. . .

As soon as Roland returned to the castle hall, the guard trotted up to him and said, "Your Majesty, a message from the Third Border City . They've completed your task . "

"Really?" Roland said, his brows going up a fraction of an inch . "Where's the report?"

"They hope you could see it in person . "

It appeared that the discovery at the Festive Harbor was more complicated than he had thought . After a moment of reflection, Roland said, "I see . Let's go now . "





Celine had been waiting for him at the underground hall .

"Your Majesty, you were right . There are materials used to make the Magic Cube at the Endless Cape," Celine said as she stretched out her auxiliary tentacle . "The magic power in that grayish yellow stone on the left are pretty similar to that in the Magic Ceremony Cube, though not completely the same . If we have a sufficient amount of the materials, I can start to create the replicate now . "

"How much do you think you'll need?"

"A few thousand, I think . "

Roland thought this was actually quite a lot . A couple of thousand stones could possibly fill a room . It seemed that he had to extravacate the Endless Cape as soon as possible . "I'll arrange it . So what about the other one?"

"The other type of stone is absolutely extraordinary . First, I can assure you that its radiation won't cause any harm to animals . From what I see, it's just some regular light, not the type you are worried about . . . "

"Radioactive rays . "

"That's right . Of course, there is a chance that the radiation is too weak to be detected . However, if that is the case, I won't be too worried about its lethality . " Celine picked out a chipped stone from the bottle on the right and handed to Roland . She said, "I asked Miss Lucia to break down one of the stones . Its ingredients are very similar to sand's . "

"Sand's?" Roland echoed in surprise .

"Very strange, right? But it looks like a stone — or rather some bigger gravel . It's flexible and will glow when being compressed . I've never seen anything stranger than this in my entire life . "

"Hmm . . . " Roland fumbled the sample thoughtfully and said, "That's not quite accurate . "

"You know what this thing is?"

"Not really, but it does remind me of something else . . . " Roland replied slowly . "Substance is comprised of elements . Apart from elements, its structure also plays a big part in determining its properties . You don't understand it because you haven't seen many materials yet . "

Take carbon for example . When carbon atoms had a tetrahedral molecular geometry, they would become hard diamonds . However, when they had a layered, planar structure, they became crispy, fragile graphite . One layer of graphite was called graphene, which had really great conductivity . When two layers of graphene formed a certain angle, however, they would become a perfect insulator . When they were cooled down to a certain temperature and were injected electrons, they would transform into a superconductor .

These three materials were all made of carbon .

That was the beauty of physics .

In fact, the exploration to the microscopic world was just a tip of an iceberg even by modern standards . In this unknown realm where men could only rely on theories, they were doing exactly the same thing that ancient people had done thousands of years ago . They reorganized and restructured elements to create new materials and inventions .

They found the "glowing tablets" and Soraya's coatings mysterious probably not because they contained magic power .

But because human beings just knew too little about the world they were living in .
