TWENTY-NINE

He let out a slow whistle. Dalliah hadn’t held anything back with the workshop. The room wasn’t particularly large, but every inch of space was used to its maximum potential. A wide assortment of tools hung from the walls, ranging from specialized scribes to small power generators.

A stout desk at the back end of the room was illuminated by a large window overlooking a beautiful courtyard full of trees and foliage. A set of heavy blinds had been rolled up to the top of the window for when he needed privacy. The walls on either side of him were lined with shelves bearing everything from artifacts to scrap metal and components.

Angel shut the door behind himself and locked it. Two canisters on the wall near the entrance connected to lines of runes that ran up through the ceiling and into large bulbs. There was a switch right beside them, so he tapped it.

Warm gold light flared to life within the bulbs, illuminating the room. If he hadn’t known better, Angel would have sworn that it was natural.

He wandered over to the desk and pulled the chair out, sitting down on the padded chair and letting out a contented sigh.

“Dalliah sure knows how to treat a man,” Angel said. He took out his System artifact and activated it with the keyword. “Now then… your scanning capabilities are pretty good, right?”

“That is correct, Wonderful.”

“Please examine this room and look for any active artifacts,” Angel said. He could have done it himself, of course. But he was under no delusions that his old eyepiece could hold up to the floating orb.

It let out an affirmative chime and made a circuit around the room, bathing each nook and cranny with a wave of blue light. It moved in a precise pattern, starting at floor level and rising by a body length each time it looped the room. After a few minutes, it returned to float by his shoulder.

“Two devices were located,” the orb crackled. “The first is on top of the shelf directly to your left. The second is within a box underneath the table you are sitting at.”

“Thank you.” Angel scooted his chair back and pulled the box out from underneath the table. The plain metal crate was full of broken parts and fragmented artifacts. He flicked his eyepiece down, scanning it.

A small box lit up orange on the glass. Angel dug through it and pulled the box out. Wires hung from its sides, but a quick check confirmed that the runes on it were undamaged, and revealed it to be a recording artifact of some sort. He gave it a wide grin, then tapped it with a metal finger.

A spark of purple energy leapt out, shooting into the device and frying it. He walked up to the shelf and stood on the tips of his toes to reach up and grab the second device, repeating the process.

“Can’t say I blame her,” Angel muttered. “But really? Just two? I’m insulted. Say, orb-thingie, pick
