Chapter 489: Sneaky Dwemer
Don't be mistaken into believing that the dragon was anything but a wild force of nature even after Nicks mental tampering as the beast by no means would obey him unconditionally. In fact if he ever showed up in front of it in a poor shape it was likely to try and usurp his dominant position in the relationship. The same was also true if it felt like it was able to defeat him at any given point in time. Nick while tempted to dive into the dwemers memories to try and steal it's knowledge didn't do so because he was very much aware that this would disrupt the balance of the dragon and dwemers position in the same mind.-
Just the small glimpse he saw told Nick that the dwemer was not the sort of being he wanted to truly take control of the dragons body. It was extremely self centered , arrogant and had a clear disregard for all that could be considered forbidden or dark magic. Something like that at tier five with all it's knowledge would almost definitely become a problem in the future after learning that it was leagues more powerful than most magical beings on the planet.-
The true key was actually the pedestal itself that shot out microscopic lasers of mana that quite literally burned the preprogramed information into the mediums surface and core. It was super high concept stuff that the wizarding world probably would never come up with on it's own as it was just so far away from it that it wasn't even funny. 'And I actually thought that I could replicate this with merely a lexicon , what a joke!' Nick thought with a sigh. Soon enough the lexicon was finished being inscribed and Nick could "see" the huge amount of mana contained within the thing.-
Millions of microscopic runes covered the lexicon and waited for someone to use their mana to read the information they held. Nick didn't do that since he was on a bit of a timeline and there was clearly not a small amount of information within the lexicon. Instead Nick stored the lexicon within the realm and turned his attention to the specimens that were kept under stasis via circles that fed off the mana present in the air to power a sort of temporal field. 'Of course the dwemer fucked with time , because absolutely nothing is off limits to these crazy bastards apparently.' Nick complained mentally.-
Some topics were forbidden for a reason and time definitely fell on that list strictly because of the horrible things that could happen by messing with it. A good example was how the grandfather paradox solved itself after someone put it to the test with a time turner. A person went back about four generations and killed their ancestor which caused time to decide that the persons entire family after that point to simply zero sum out of existence beyond the records outside of time held by the ministry.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
