Chapter 1254: Factory for phones
The phone factory was overseen by the Dwarves, making sure that the facilities there were made for them. Since they had a smaller stature than most, the factory lines were made appropriately smaller.
Of course, since they also worked with higher temperatures, the machines were made to withstand those temperatures.
Their primary work for the everyday process was to create the Unity Power Source en masse. This would be the very thing that would dictate the daily production of phones. They could only make as much as the power sources.
Thankfully, Michael awakened about a thousand Dwarves, and if they worked on a schedule, they could make about a hundred thousand Power Sources every single day.
This meant that they could produce seven hundred thousand phones a week!
With this kind of production, they’d definitely be able to sate the demand for the phones amongst their citizens. The Nation of Reborn would experience a great flurry of more phone users. Meanwhile, their allies in the outskirts of their territory would also be able to purchase their own phones without problem.
Now, normally the price of a phone wasn’t attainable for most people.
However, the citizens of Reborn were not like the rest. They were basically as rich as the Upper Echelon society, probably even more.
Thanks to the money they were getting from all their products, including the automobiles, Michael was able to give tremendously exorbitant salaries to his employees.
Every single one of them could afford to buy an automobile and a phone if they wanted to.
And as for their new allies in the north, they would need a few more time being allies before they were added into the flourishing economy of Reborn. Thankfully for them, Michael added in another loan system, making it so that they didn’t have to pay the whole thing in one go.
This was how the phone started to become prevalent in the territory of Reborn.

Meanwhile, back in the Queens region, on the border of the chasm, Caliburn Lionheart and the other soldiers of his family were about to return to the Nation of Reborn to fetch their younger members.
And before they could, they were suddenly intercepted by none other than Arthur Lionheart.
"Grandfather, you have to take a look at what happened in the Nation of Reborn!"
His tone was full of excitement and vigor, unlike anything Caliburn had ever seen from his protege grandson.
"What is it?" he asked.
It didn’t take long before Arthur explained the sudden awakening of their younger cousins.
"Impossible!"
"That’s just not true!"
"How could that be? It defies all laws of physics!"
All the Lionheart Maugnetics couldn’t help but degrade Arthur’s words as nothing more than fiction.
After all, how were they supposed to believe that their younger family members had already awakened their Divas? They hadn’t even trained! They hadn’t earned their scars! They needed about a year more of growing before they could even start that grueling training session.
And yet, Arthur was telling them that they awakened their Divas, not through warfare, not through bloodshed, and not through near death experiences. But through this thing called a Rollercoaster.
That was just not possible. They believed that nothing could stimulate a Maugnetic’s heart other than a harsh and bloodied training.
Even Arthur, who was hailed to be one of the fastest Maugnetics in the Lionheart history, could only awaken his Diva about a week after his training with the Order of the Heavenly Knights.
This would mean that his younger cousins were much more talented than Arthur, more talented than all of them, including their Patriarch, in fact.
But they knew their younger cousins. They definitely didn’t exhibit that kind of talent early on. And it wasn’t just one or two of them. It was all of them!
The probability that all of them had a hidden latent talent was basically nonexistent.
So, they could only say that Arthur’s words were nonsense.
Arthur looked towards his grandfather. His words were the only thing that mattered.
Caliburn saw that genuine look on Arthur’s face. He believed that his grandson was telling the truth. He was telling him what he saw.
But it was very much possible that what he saw was not the truth. Perhaps, it was an illusion. A Nascent Influence someone put on him.
Caliburn used his own Nascent Influence to search through Arthur’s body for any signs of tampering. Thankfully, he didn’t see anything.
’Is he telling the truth?’ Caliburn couldn’t help but ask himself.
In the end, Caliburn decided to check it out for himself. "We shall check," he said.
And so, along with Arthur, they made their way back to the Nation of Reborn.
About a third of the way there, they suddenly heard a screech from above them. They looked up and saw an eagle, carrying a message on his talons.
They beckoned the eagle down, and it delivered the scroll it carried.
Caliburn unfurled the message and read it by himself. "Trilla has been commanded by his father. She is to take over Earl’s responsibilities."
Arthur didn’t know much about what they were talking about. "What is she to do, grandfather?"
"She is to build a bridge. In the chasm," he said gravely.
After saying this, the other Lionheart members all turned sullen. They knew that this was a hard task. A bloody one, at that.
Everyone knew that the chasm was inhibited by those demi-humans. And they deterred anyone who tried to make a bridge to cross the chasm.
Of course, such a bridge would be very profitable, which was why it was such a contested spot. But even the other companies hadn’t even tried to do it themselves.
After all, it was too dangerous. Fighting with an unknown army in the chasm was like fighting without a light.
They’d die in the dark.
However, now, Trilla was forced to do Earl’s work. He was the one who was supposed to die doing that responsibility.
