Chapter 16: Gem Adornment

Next morning.

Elias woke up in his bed.

He took a look at his phone.

Ava sent a 'thank you' to him.

Elias didn't reply anything.

He put his phone aside and went to the bathroom.

He took a shower and brushed his teeth.

Then, he walked downstair for his breakfast.

His mum, Sarah was cooking in the kitchen.

His father, David was reading news on his phone.

His little brother, Marcus was sitting at the dining table and waiting for food.

Elias took a seat at the dining table.

"Marcus, bring me some water," Elias said.

"Oh, ok" Marcus went to the kitchen and brought him a glass of water.

"Good boy." 

Elias took the glass from Marcus and patted his head.

His father, David looked at him and said.

"Elias, in two weeks, we will go for a family trip ya"

"Make sure you clear your schedule for the trip,"

Elias raised his head and looked at David.

"Ok"

"I will be there, to prevent the accident." Elias thought.

In previous life, David was injured in this family trip.

The injury tortured David for a few years. 

On and off, David felt pain, especially on a rainy day when the weather was cold.

Elias wanted to save David from the injury.

Sarah came out from the kitchen.

Sarah put some sandwiches on the table and said.

"Alright, the food is ready." 

Then, they had their breakfast together.

After breakfast, Elias called a taxi and went to a shop lot.

...

30 minutes later. Elias reached his destination.

He was standing in front of a shop lot.

He climbed a staircase and opened a door.

This was a second-floor shop lot.

Elias rented it for his business.

Previously, this place was a warehouse.

Elias and Joseph spent a day to clear it.

They put some tables and chairs in this shop lot.

They called this place "Logistic Magic Company"

Elias entered the shop lot.

Inside the Logistic Magic Company, Joseph was looking at his computer.

Then. he noticed that Elias entered the shop.

"Elias, the things are here." 

Joseph pointed at two boxes in the corner.

It was the finished product from the factory. 

The factory shipped the product three days ago.

The product was delivered to Logistic Magic Company yesterday.

This was the reason they were here today.

They were going to assemble their first product.

 "Alright, let's clear the table, make some space for the tools and items"

Joseph nodded his head and said.

"Ok."

Then, Joseph closed his computer and put it into his bag.

Elias opened the two boxes and had a look at the magic engraving board.

He was checking the quality of the magic engraving board.

"Not bad" Elias mumbled.

The silver engraving line was neat and clean.

There were no scratches or damage on the board.

Very good.

Then, they put the magic gems and magic engraving board on the table.

"Now it is time for magic," Elias said.

"Joseph, I show you one time first. Then, you try."

"Ok." Joseph nodded his head.

After one week of learning with Elias, Joseph totally believed that Elias knew about magic.

Elias was confident when he was teaching him.

"The key for gem adornment is to use control the raw material on the magic engraving board," Elias said.

Elias started to explain.

"The raw material is a magic-sensitive material."

"We need to control and increase its frequency to match it with the magic gems."

"When two of them reach the same frequency, they will stick together."

"This is what we call gems adornment."

"The greater the quality of gems, the higher the frequency."

"That is why it it hard to adorn high-quality gems."

With that, Elias raised his hand. 

He put it on the magic engraving board.

The next second, a sound came from the board.

*sizzsizzsizz

Joseph could feel the vibration of the magic engraving board.

and the vibration was causing some sounds.

*sizzsizzsizz

Joseph's eyes widened.

Joseph was stunned by this phenomenon.

How could a person control the frequency of an object without any tools?

"Can I do it too?" he wondered

Slowly, the magic engraving board turned red. 

There was a red light shimmering around it.

Elias saw that the red light was growing stronger.

This was a sign that the frequency was increasing.

Soon, he felt that the frequency of the magic engraving board matched with the magic gem.

The next second, he put the magic gem on the dedicated position of the magic engraving board.

*sizzzsizzzzsizzzz.

Around 30 seconds later, the red light dimmed.

Elias removed his hand from the magic engraving board.

During the whole process, he looked relaxed and comfortable.

Joseph saw the whole process.

"wow, Elias."

"This is so cool."

This was Joseph's first time witnessing the gem adornment process.

It was difficult to find it on the internet.

The gem adornment process on the internet was a simple one.

Not a very detailed type.

"Now it is your turn," Elias said.

"Ok, let me try. Although I didn't learn magic like you, I can try to do it."

"You try on this first." Elias put another magic engraving board on the table.

He didn't want to waste the magic board that he just adorned a gem.

Joseph gazed at the board.

Then, he put his hand on the magic engraving board.

He took a deep breath and started the gem adornment.

As time passed, the magic engraving board turned red bit by bit.

Joseph increased the frequency of the raw material.

"Yeah, just like that."

"Ok, almost there."

Elias could feel that the frequency was close to each other.

Then, he said.

"Alright stop. Maintain frequency. The gem adornment is going to start"

5 minutes later, Elias was smiling.

"Yes, hahahaha. I did it. Elias see. I made this." Joseph said.

He was excited about it.

He succeeded on his first try.

Elias knew that Joseph was good in circle magic in previous life.

But he didn't expect him to succeed at the first try.

Although this gem adornment was a very basic technique. it still required some magic talent and practice.

It was a good news to them.
