บท 218: Melting Down

True to her word, after Rainier told her what his team was really working on, Malz showed him what a welding wand looked like.

"See, it doesn't work directly on the metal. You just feed power in and it makes the fire hot enough for you and at a safe distance." She pointed at the screen of her tablet, which, weirdly enough, showed an angel using his welding torch to cook what appeared to be an artichoke.

Rain hadn't spent a lot of time watching illusions on his tablet, despite everyone around him being used to it. There was something weird to him about filling his time watching other people do things when he could be doing something himself.

The only thing he could conclude from the illusion - video, as Malz called it - was that Angels did weird things with dangerous equipment sometimes. But now that he knew what to look for, he remembered seeing the strange rods at Iriel's forge.
