Novel Bin Chapter 260 - Savage Land (III)...
[POV Reo]
Both Jean and I decided to patiently sit near the recently formed gigantic crater, courtesy of me, while Fleur was still running some tests on the mountain of Anti-Metal. It has already been going on for few minutes.
"So, what do you think she will find?" Jean asked me curiously.
"Don\'t know, but I think that she has already found several things about that metal" I said and kept staring towards Fleur who was completely in her own element.
"Yeah, I guess, it is pretty hard to tell. Both Fleur and Momo are completely lost to the world when they are in their scientist mode" Jean said and snickered.
"…True" I said in a bland tone and spread out my senses. Only a few minutes ago I have caused a huge disturbance in here… I am pretty sure that someone must have heard it… and I don\'t want to be surprised.
I did find some bipedal beings, some of them felt like humans, or at least they had blood in their bodies while a few felt like these ants but they were different too… as for the animals, everything around was long gone. Animals have a keen sense of danger… I also sensed several groups of gigantic beings… pretty sure, it would be the dinosaurs.
While Fleur continued to inspect the Anti-Metal, both Jean and I continued our small conversation. Even though I was talking with Jean, I kept surveying our surroundings… you can never be too careful. Almost after half an hour, Fleur was finally done with her inspections.
"So, what did you find?" Jean asked Fleur, who looked really proud of herself.
"Depends on what you want to use this metal for" Fleur said in a cryptic tone and decided to take a small pose. I guess Fleur also loves dramatics "First of all this metal is extremely hard, melting it would be even harder… you can\'t cut this metal with your usual equipment" Fleur said and plopped down on my other side and released a sigh.
"This metal releases a vibration which can break the molecular bonds of other metals, this would liquify other metals at room temperature. This metal also radiates unique radiation, which could have different kinds of effect depending on what your race is" Fleur said and pointed towards the pool of liquid metal on the ground.
"We can make armors from this metal, right and what kind of side effects can we expect?" I asked Fleur curiously. Even though I was sure that Anti-Metal won\'t have any kind of side effects on beings like us but getting confirmation from an expert would obviously be nice.
"Yes, that\'s is the best thing this metal could be used for… well, beings like us won\'t have any side effects no matter how long we use this metal for but if someone like Ororo uses this metal or if she is exposed to this metal for an extended period of time then there will be side effects" Fleur said while chewing on her bottom lip. I found that cute… she did that whenever she was thinking hard.
"Even Ororo, meta-humans, or normal humans can use this metal if they are using it for a short period of time, but can\'t say what kind of effects this metal would have if used for extended periods. I can\'t say anything more without conducting more tests" Fleur said and sighed in frustration… she must be bipolar in her scientist mode… only a few minutes ago, she looked really proud of herself and now she is frustrated??
"So, what are we going to do with the space rock? We can\'t take it back to Elysium" Jean exasperated. I guess, she has a point. I also think that taking this thing back to Elysium could be not a good idea but I can\'t just leave it here after liberating it from the humanoid ant colony.
But where else can I take this thing? I don\'t want to take this to some random place… Yes!! Didn\'t Nemuri say that she brought the Kerguelen Islands? Yes, I know that she is using one side of the island to keep her pyramid but I could easily dump the Anti-Metal on some other side of the island.
"I will take it to the Kerguelen Islands, I will dump the rock on some other side of the island so that House-elves won\'t be affected by the rock" I said, both Jean and Fleur immediately agreed with the idea.
I pulled out my phone and called Nemuri, she picked up the phone only after a few seconds \'Hello, honey~, did you miss me?\' Nemuri asked me in a sing-song tone.
"…Yes, I missed you, but unfortunately this call is for business" I said and I could swear that I saw Nemuri pouting on the other side of the phone.
\'Fine… take away all the fun\' Nemuri whined and from her tone she was definitely pouting… as soon as she finished I heard Luna\'s giggle from the other side of the phone.
"Hello, Luna, I missed you too" I said and another round of Luna giggle was heard from the other side of the phone.
\'Of course, I know that silly\' Luna said in her usual sweet and innocent tone.
\'So, how can this humble fox help you?\' Nemuri spoke in a defeated tone. Did she just call herself a humble fox?? Fuck that!! She is anything but humble!! Yeah sure… I won\'t even comment on this…
"Can you give me the location of the Kerguelen Island? I want to keep something there" I asked.
\'Yeah, sure but if it is something harmful then keep it away from the pyramid\' Nemuri said in an uncaring manner.
"Send me the coordinates" I said and cut the call. Only after a few seconds, Nemuri sent me both the coordinates and several pictures. Nemuri is really thoughtful… with the pictures I could easily Apparate there… I should reward her later.
"So, how are we going there? Taking all of my equipment there would be problematic though" Fleur asked hurriedly.
"Don\'t worry, I will bring a chunk for you so that you can experiment with it to your heart\'s content" I said and Fleur nodded with a huge smile on her face.
I picked up a nearby stone and turned it into a portkey. I was about to hand it over to Fleur when she spoke up. "Wait, I don\'t want to go back now. There are a lot of interesting things here" Fleur snarked.
"I agree with her…" Jean also agreed with Fleur but I didn\'t want to leave them here. This was a really dangerous place… yes, both of them are Phoenixes but that doesn\'t mean that I am not worried. If Rumi, Natasha, or Nemuri were here I wouldn\'t have any problem leaving them here.
I sighed once again and grabbed Fleur\'s hand and put the portkey in her hand. "Fine! But if there is any danger then get out of here, understand?" I said in a no-nonsense tone. Neither Fleur nor Jean said anything…
"Did you understand?" I almost growled and both Fleur and Jean nodded their heads like woodpeckers. I know that they are strong and all but they have zero experience in fighting… yes, Jean had experience in killing but that doesn\'t mean that she can\'t be taken out by surprise.
Fleur might know different kinds of magical spells but that doesn\'t mean that she would be able to take a life. Taking a life is a hard thing and Fleur\'s fighting experience is zero. Yes, back in the HP World, I have trained Fleur but training and fighting for real are very different things and neither of them can use their full power.
I grabbed another stone and made it a portkey. I handed the second portkey to Jean… I was also worried because I didn\'t know everything about this island… there can be a lot of unfriendlies in here. I know I am acting like a paranoid fool but when it comes to the safety of my girls, I think being a paranoid fool is much better than a stupid fool.
I kissed both Fleur and Jean and Apparated to the Kerguelen Island, it is recommended not to Apparate using pictures but if you Apparating to some barren wasteland then it could be useful. I didn\'t have to look hard to find Nemuri\'s golden pyramid. I started to rise up in the air so that I could scout the island.
Just like I mentioned the island was completely baren and empty… except the pyramid. I could only feel the house-elves on this island… there were no other animals in here, like fucking hell, the island didn\'t even have any trees… only some bushes here and there.
"That will be perfect" I whispered in a low tone when I noticed a small crater… I could put the Anti-Metal there and I won\'t have to worry about it rolling into the ocean. With another loud crack, I Apparated back to or room in Elysium. I opened the cupboard and pulled out several teleportation parchments.
With those in my hands, I Apparated back to the Savage Land and appeared right in front of the Anti-Metal. I noticed that Fleur and Jean were gone but I noticed that the two of them were on a nearby tree. I started to slap the teleportation parchments on the mountain of Anti-Metal.
It took me a couple of hours to get it done… by the time I was done with slapping the teleportation parchments on the Anti-Metal, both Jean and Fleur were already gone back to Elysium. While they were here I kept sensing them… once they even got in trouble with some kind of dinosaur or some kind of gigantic beast.
I was about to go over there to help them but when a huge mountain of Phoneix Fire erupted from that place I found that the being was dead… so, I allowed them to continue their exploration. Hah… I released a sigh and activated the teleportation seals. With a bright flash, the mountain of Anti-Metal was gone.
Before I could return to Elysium, I needed to check the Kerguelen Island. With another loud crack, I Apparated to the Kerguelen Island and found the mountain of Anti-Metal was laying where I wanted it to. I used my morphing powers and made a small ball of Anti-Metal. I grabbed the ball and looked at it with complete fascination. With another loud crack, I arrived on Elysium with the ball of Anti-Metal in my hand…
(A/N: I want to make a new armor for Reo with the Anti-Metal. So, if any of you guys want to suggest some armor then they can post it in here… but remember the armor should be red or at least have a reddish tint)
