Before Hearths Warming Eve, Aurora had made a deal with Iris.
Now, a month after the end of the Hearths Warming Eve holiday and the start of the new semester, Aurora received a reply from Iris along with an attached package and a deposit check, clearly feeling Iris's full sincerity.
The letter mentioned that Iris had contacted a rock farm run by a married couple, and one of their four daughters, a pony named Ashy Marvel, had some research in geology.
With her help, Iris was able to find these stones that met Aurora's requirements.
However, Iris could only distinguish between beautiful and ugly stones and didn't know much about scientific and magical research, so regarding insights into the stones, she entrusted Miss Ashy Marvel to write a separate letter introducing the properties of these stones.
As soon as she saw that the stones were found by Ashy Marvel, Aurora felt the project was basically secure.
Iris really knew how to find helpers; some ponies were just destined to succeed and get rich.
Ashy Marvel's strength brought peace of mind.
The package sent was very large, and the box contained many highly transparent stones, the largest of which was likely meant for making a floor-length mirror, while the remaining smaller ones were likely for them to test with.
Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle were sorting them out, while Aurora continued to open Ashy Marvel's letter.
Rather than a letter, it was more like a file folder, containing a thick stack of handwritten pages, as if Ashy Marvel had sent her academic thesis.
At this time, Ashy Marvel was in school just like them, but she was majoring in Geology and Rock Studies.
The letter mentioned that she was very happy to meet a pony interested in special stones, and she used a long length to describe the texture and composition of the stones she found, as well as their formation environment.
Because there were too many technical terms, Aurora didn't understand much, but she understood that this kind of stone was neither rare nor uncommon, and could even be synthesized, meaning the raw material cost could be kept down, which was good news.
Additionally, Ashy Marvel mentioned that her sister had also written a letter to Aurora, adding that her sister had become very lively recently, and asked Aurora not to mind.
Only then did Aurora notice that inside Ashy Marvel's envelope, there was another slightly smaller pink envelope.
The moment she opened the envelope, Aurora felt as if she heard the sound of party whistles and party poppers.
At the same time, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle also seemed to sense something and looked back, just in time to see some confetti spraying out from the envelope.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just received a little surprise."
Aurora signaled that everything was fine.
She checked the envelope and found a small mechanism at the opening, which would make a sound and spray pre-filled confetti when it ruptured under pressure.
It was a small design that could make a pony smile, but Aurora felt that even if this fanfare hadn't been conjured out of thin air, it wouldn't have been strange.
The power of the divine steed makes ponies stop thinking.
