Although Lady Diatz did not understand what "Pass" meant, she could tell from Solam's expression that he was refusing. She was not particularly disappointed, though. Even if Solam had agreed, it was already too late.
She had brought Solam here precisely because she wanted this thing to serve its purpose.
"The second option is to control the energy output and stabilize it. Then, naturally, there won't be any energy rampages."
This was also the solution favored by Queen Laeral Silverhand and the coven. Compared with evenly inscribing the rune array without the slightest deviation, this plan was more practical. However, it was also a long-term project, not something that could be solved overnight, which was why it had been dragged out until now.
"The Queen once mentioned that you seemed to possess some kind of ability that allowed you to control energy with precision. After all, when you inscribed rune arrays before, if the energy attached to the runes had not been consistent, you could not have achieved such a perfectly uniform result. So I was wondering whether you could serve as the energy regulator for this arcane energy... ah, orbital cannon. Right now, we need this orbital cannon's power!"
Lady Diatz was not lying. The effects of this orbital cannon were rather treacherous. First, whether it hit the target was entirely up to fate. If they were unlucky, that immensely powerful shell might very well land on their own heads. Second, once this thing fired, it would immediately become an enormous bomb.
