Chapter 132: Material for a Holy Garment

While speaking, the three of them had already descended the suspended stone path, walked out of the forest of stone stalagmites, and arrived beneath the stone tower at the edge of the cliff.

"Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu, guests from the Sanctuary have arrived!" Little Kiki placed the Cloth box on the ground and shouted loudly toward the stone tower.

"Mr. Mu, Mu—"

"Stop shouting, I know!"

Just as Little Kiki was calling out at the top of his lungs, a man with long purple hair and a red scarf draped over his shoulders emerged from the tower door on the first floor.

His eyebrows, much like Little Kiki's, formed strange, dot-like shapes, making them exceedingly striking.

"Greetings, Mr. Mu!"

"Greetings, Mr. Mu!"

Yin Shiqi and Shun bowed in unison to pay their respects.

Mu waved his hand and softly said, "There is no need for such formality. Open the Cloth boxes and let me examine the extent of the damage to the Cloths."

People from the Sanctuary did not come here without reason; they were mostly here to have him repair their Cloths.

"Thank you, Mr. Mu!"

Shun repeatedly expressed his gratitude, then lowered the two boxes from his back. He grasped the two rings on the exterior of the boxes and pulled firmly. The edges of the two Cloth boxes immediately split open, and the cases blossomed outward like flower petals, revealing the two shattered Cloths within.

The Chameleon Cloth was damaged beyond fifty percent, though its rough Chameleon prototype could still be barely pieced together. The Cepheus Cloth beside it, however, was in a truly wretched state.

The entire Cepheus Cloth had almost scattered into a pile of debris. Had it not been revealed from within the Cloth box, no one would have believed it had once been a Silver Cloth.

Seeing this, Mu shook his head gently, then turned his gaze toward the Cloth box opened by Yin Shiqi.

A massive pedestaled silver cup came into view. A series of cracks were clearly visible across its surface, and deep indentation marks remained even on some of its components.

Mu secretly gathered his Cosmo into his eyes, examining it once more in meticulous detail from a microscopic perspective.

Aside from those cracks and deformations visible to the naked eye, numerous tiny fractures lingered across all parts of the silver cup. Once those fractures completely connected, they would manifest as massive cracks visible to the naked eye.

In short, the damage to this Crater Cloth was not as severe as that of the Chameleon and Cepheus Cloths, but it was still scarred and in need of repair.

随后，他对着殷十七两人道：“前段时间，圣域来了不少人修理圣衣，我这里储备的材料已经消耗得差不多了。”

Afterward, he said to Yin Shiqi and Shun, "A while ago, quite a few people came from the Sanctuary to have their Cloths repaired, and the materials I have in store are almost exhausted."

"If it were merely repairing this Crater Cloth, it should be fine, but adding the Chameleon and Cepheus Cloths makes it insufficient!"

The more severely a Cloth was damaged, the greater the consumption of materials required for its repair.

At present, the Cepheus Cloth was almost completely destroyed; the materials required to repair it would be enough to fix ten Crater Cloths.

"Excuse me, Mr. Mu, what other materials do you need?" Shun asked anxiously.

"If you need any help from us, Mr. Mu, just give the order!" Yin Shiqi said with an air of enthusiasm.

Regardless of whether he could genuinely be of assistance, he did not mind leaving a good impression in front of Mu.

After all, this person was the only bigwig in the entire Sanctuary who had mastered the technique of repairing Cloths.

Mu nodded and slowly replied, "The materials used to forge Cloths primarily consist of Orichalcum, Star Dust Sand, and Gammanium. Naturally, repairing Cloths cannot be done without them."

Shun said with a face full of regret, "I am truly sorry, Mr. Mu, but I have never heard of these three materials."

"Senior, have you ever heard of them?"

Saying this, he looked toward Yin Shiqi once more.

Yin Shiqi likewise shook his head.

As if he had finally found an opportunity to showcase himself, Little Kiki proudly explained to the two of them, "Orichalcum is the hardest metal, often referred to by people as divine steel."

"It forms the main body of the Cloth, giving it extraordinary hardness."

"Star Dust Sand is fine sand made by crushing the cores of stars. It can soften the divine steel, allowing us to utilize it to forge Cloths while imparting a certain degree of toughness to them."

"This prevents the Cloth from shattering completely upon impact due to being overly hard."

"The final material, Gammanium, is the will of life. It can bestow a certain vitality upon the Cloth, granting it the possibility of growth so that it may grow alongside its user."

"These three materials must be extremely difficult to obtain, right?" Yin Shiqi said with a bitter smile.

Divine steel, stellar cores—just hearing the introduction already made his head spin. Those were undoubtedly extraordinary divine materials.

However, upon thinking of the legendary God Cloths—those closest to Divine Garments evolved from Cloths—he felt a sense of relief.

If the materials used to forge Cloths were too ordinary, how could they possibly evolve into something like a God Cloth?

Mu nodded, gazing at the three Cloths, and said, "I still have a reserve of Star Dust Sand, but my Orichalcum is almost entirely depleted."

"I have recently been planning to take a trip outside to gather some Orichalcum, but because I lack a suitable assistant, I had to temporarily shelve the plan."

"Since you have arrived here today, why don't you come with me to gather some Orichalcum?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Shiqi hurriedly replied, "We are willing to serve you!"

"We are willing to serve you!" Shun was a beat slower, but quickly echoed the sentiment.

"However, speaking of which, why does the Chameleon Cloth carry the lingering Cosmo aura of a Specter? Did you encounter any Specters?" Mu asked, looking at Shun in surprise.

Others might not be able to tell, but to him, a professional repair master, the cause of the Chameleon Cloth's damage was crystal clear.

As if unaccustomed to being stared at in such a manner, Shun lowered his head shyly and whispered, "Half a year ago, when Master Daidalos left Andromeda Island to participate in the expedition in North America, two Specters suddenly broke into Andromeda Island and launched an attack on us."

"June protected me at the cost of having the Chameleon Cloth destroyed in that battle."

However, there was one detail Shun left unmentioned.

Chameleon June was no match for those two Specters, and in the end, it was he who unleashed his latent potential in a desperate situation, thereby defeating the two invading Specters.

"So that's how it was!"

Mu glanced at the shy youth and continued, "The Chameleon Cloth was willing to fight the Specters to the death without hesitation for your sake. Would you be willing to offer your own life to help her repair the Cloth?"

The extent to which the Chameleon Cloth was damaged was enough to show how perilous the battle had been at the time.

To protect this youth, June must have given her all.

"My life?"

Shun did not understand. He raised his head and asked, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Mu?"

Mu slowly stepped forward, gazing at the two Cloths beside the youth, and said, "Kiki told you earlier that Gammanium is the will of life, and it imbues Cloths with vitality."

"In other words, every Cloth possesses its own life and is not merely a lifeless object."

"Take another look and tell me what difference there is between the Chameleon Cloth, the Cepheus Cloth, and the Crater Cloth over there."

As he spoke, he turned and pointed at the pedestaled silver cup beside Yin Shiqi.
