Sword of Dawnbreaker

A middle-aged woman in a mage’s robe respectfully stood beside the Typhon Emperor, pointing at the blueprints spread on the table while explaining: ”This is the so-called ’Magic Web,’ but it’s the first generation, considered outdated. The second-generation Magic Web is more compact, but the blueprints we obtained are incomplete, and neither have we found specific processing methods.”

Duke Ferdinand looked at the blueprint in front of the Typhon Emperor—he could see the complex magic symbols and Magic Power lines drawn on it. Although all the symbols were elementary, the whole array conveyed a strange sense of harmony. Despite not being a Mage himself, he could judge the optimization of this magic circle as excellent based on his decent magic knowledge.

This was the key to the rapid rise of the ancient Cecil Clan from Anzu, brought by the resurrected ancient hero as ”lost technology.”

Rosetta Augustus’s voice came from across the table: ”Ferdinand, I heard the second-generation Magic Web is composed of ’Units.’”

”Yes, Your Majesy,” Duke Ferdinand replied, ”Andresha caught some fleeing Anzu mercenaries, who had seen the second-generation Magic Web. Apparently, these Magic Web Units are hexagonal arrays of magic symbols, requiring extremely high processing precision, and in enormous quantities, unlike blacksmiths and rune craftsmen hammering them out individually...”

At this, the Duke couldn’t help but frown and sigh: ”Unfortunately, we don’t have the blueprints... nor the physical specimens.”

Another royal minister in the reception room responded: ”The south of Anzu is already blocked, and the Cecil Clan tightly controls there, making intelligence gathering difficult. But that’s temporary—the Cecil Clan hasn’t completely blocked the spread of the Magic Web, reportedly, some local aristocrats have already secretly obtained Magic Web blueprints in the Plains of the Holy Spirits and some areas in the eastern region of Anzu. As long as there is enough patience and cost, it’s easy to buy off those Anzu aristocrats.”

Emperor Rosetta glanced at the minister named Goering and asked lightly: ”Goering, even if you got the blueprints and specimens, would you dare to use them directly?”

The royal minister named Goering paused, showing a thoughtful expression.

”According to what we know, before the war broke out in the south of Anzu, the Cecil Clan had actively spread the Magic Web on a large scale, and then what happened? Those foolish Anzu aristocrats covered the area with the Magic Web everywhere, so that the Cecil Clan’s army had sufficient magic power supply everywhere they attacked—this lesson is rather profound.”

The southern war in Anzu ended quickly, and after the war ended, the whole south was swiftly sealed off, but no wall is air-tight, and before the south was thoroughly locked down, some exiled knights and mercenaries managed to escape—they carried all kinds of credible and incredible information with them; some ended up in Typhon’s hands.

This intelligence made Emperor Rosetta aware of Cecil’s rise and more cautious about the ”Magic Web” from the Cecil Clan.

However... the Magic Web is still a good thing.

”We need Magic Web technology, and more importantly, we need the technology to apply the Magic Web, and these technologies must be held in our own hands,” Rosetta Augustus pressed the blueprints on the table with his hand and said in a deep voice, ”Typhon needs its own Magic Web.”
