Even after that, Dexter’s lengthy explanation continued for a while.
The great birth of the Homunculus Engine and the mysterious power of the Oracle that forms its foundation. The mysteries still unsolved, contained within the milestone.
It felt more like listening to myths or ghost stories rather than the scientific history of a world.
Thanks to that, Seongjin briefly suspected that Dexter might not be an engineer but rather a follower of tabloid journalism obsessed with UFOs or conspiracy theories.
But fortunately, the explanation didn’t last long. While Dexter was rambling and off guard, Seongjin quickly snatched the milestone from his hand.
“Ugh…!”
Staring at the crimson gem in Seongjin’s hand, Dexter’s mouth fell open. He looked as dejected as a child whose candy had been taken away.
Regardless, Seongjin thrust the Ice Heart towards him instead of the milestone and said firmly,
“Please look at this first. I’ll give you time to explore the milestone later.”
“But…!”
“Dexter, as I said, this comes first.”
We don’t have time for this now. Do you think Father, who is always plagued by a lack of causality, can stay here for long?
Facing Seongjin’s cold expression, Dexter had no choice but to lower his head and say,
“Then, you must show it to me again later…!”
