Master Of None-Chapter 1585 1585. Surprise Tour
"Brother!" Walker found himself being nudged in the shoulder by Onyx early in the morning. He had trained with Midnight for the last two days while Rise checked up on them from a distance. It was clear that Rise had made the decision to let them use what she had said.
If Walker and Midnight needed more guidance, they would have to find Rise. But this was not a bad thing. It made them think more to make their power their own. If they did so, then they had more chances to make sure that they were comfortable using the power in any form.
"What's gotten you up so early, Onyx?" Walker wasn't sure why his little brother was coming to his room to find him before the sun had risen.
"I told the king of the deep caves that you and I would tour the start of the trade route today. It's time to go!" Walker was stunned. Onyx had volunteered him to tour the trade route progress before while they prepared to head over the ocean! It seemed a little off.
"The king of the deep caves had to come to the surface to check supplies and provide the metals for one of the ship's parts yesterday. I happened to be heading home at the same time. But when he saw me he asked if anyone was coming to see the progress since he is passing the halfway point. I told him that it would put your mind at ease if you saw it before you left."
The logic did make sense to Walker. He would like to know that everything is perfect. Especially since the king of the deep cave was also going to be designing an underground portion of the city that matched the trade route being made. But even more, Walker had another feeling, "Is the king of the deep caves stressed out because no one has come to see it yet?"
The nod of Onyx's head as he wrapped around Walker's shoulder made Walker understand. The other representatives of the Genesis council have been caught up with their own duties. This has left the all important trade route neglected. Anyone would feel that they were being ignored. Therefore, the king of the deep caves had jumped on an opportunity to show off the progress.
"Then we will spend the day doing it. I don't mind that. Midnight has burned herself out and will rest more. But I want her to train with Su today so I will write a note on the way out. You and I will check things out in the caves." With this, Walker and Onyx were on their way after grabbing a quick breakfast. Midnight wouldn't see the note but Su would and she would hunt Midnight down for training.
From what Walker had seen of Su at the previous night's dinner, Su had been exhausting herself in training. That put Su and Midnight at the same level of training for the last two days. Due to this, it was good that as guardian and champion they met together to get on the same page. Walker was just pretending that he shouldn't be checking on both of them working together for the time being.
The space that had been set aside was directly in line with the main markets. This was surrounded with a large warehouse that would be for the dwarves and merchants to separate their goods for shipments. Overall, the idea was that this would not be a center for sale but a distribution. Easier for the morning merchants to grab what they had ordered or bargain for what they would get another day.
From there, the large open hole was a stone carved ramp. There were stairs for those that took the opportunity but it was easier to go down the stairs. The tamer's guild had also joined hands with the dwarves since many merchants would be asking to take their carriages down. Therefore, there had to be monsters or animals tamed to be able to go underground without any fear. It was a nice connection that the dwarves had used to make the entire process smoother.
From there, the golems were also moving about. They were the main strength behind this entire excavation. Many were equipped with digging tools. Some were even the newest golems that had the new elemental runes on them. These seemed to move much faster. But what Walker had not expected to see were earth elemental spirits around in plenty.
The earth elemental spirits were enjoying the earth elemental mana that was coming from the open digging, but even more, they had begun to bond with many of the dwarven miners working in the caves. Some had been made their own golems which was a great shock to Walker.
"There are more golems like the dragon golem, but they are modeled off of moles. That's amazing." The details and runes used to make the mole golems and bond them with the earth spirits was spectacular. This was a great way to showcase the strengths of the golems while also making massive progress. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
Since the earth was where the golems were digging in to, the elemental mana they needed was provided constantly. Therefore, there was a constant supply of mana for the golems to dig continuously. The dwarves had truly managed to make use of a great situation.
"Ah, I knew you two would be here bright and early. Onyx said you had been looking forward to seeing the results once we reached the halfway point. If I had known you were waiting for that I would have come and dragged you down with me yesterday." The king of the deep caves was waiting for them about halfway down the entrance ramp. He was in a cheery mood that made Walker wonder just how much he had wanted to show off the underground trade route.f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂
"Well, we have no idea how long we will be away dealing with the other continent. I have hopes that things will go smoothly but that's for fate to decide. When Onyx told me that you two had bumped in to each other it seemed like the best time to see things. I might use the trade route to travel to the dwarven kingdom one day, right?"
"Yes! That's right. It will be the safest way to get to my city without danger from monsters over the surface or in the air. This will be the best way. The best way!" The energy seemed endless from the king of the deep caves. Clearly, Walker and Onyx were going to be exhausted by the end of the day.
"We have modeled the side of the cave similar to what ruins we have found. The idea that history is recorded makes everyone want to read it, but as images on the walls, it makes people feel even more life in what they do. That is why we have artists beginning the creation of our history meeting the history of genesis. From this side, there will be the story of Genesis and from the dwarven side, the history of us meeting Genesis."
"That's…wow, really great. I think it will be the best way for people to become more comfortable with their travel underground if they aren't used to it. Especially children that are born in both of our homes." Onyx and Walker were equally in awe of the idea. Taking what had been done in ancient times and using it now was perfect.
"Now, you can see where we will have our settlements?" The space that they came out in was massive. The main road that had been made was already paved with flat stone by the dwarves and altered by earth mages. But around it were large roads heading off to create homes. Homes that were already being built.
"You are already setting up the homes for those that decide to live down here and work down here. I know we will eventually have people that prefer to remain underground, but I thought we wouldn't be building them yet." To be fair, Walker thought it would take much longer to even get halfway on this project.
"We would be done building here if we were not doing two projects at once. But we won't go down to the work area. I thought you would appreciate the tour of what we are building here for living quarters and potential businesses." The king of the deep caves was not a fool, he knew that looking at the same cave over and over would be boring for anyone but him and his workers. Walker and Onyx would definitely prefer the structures being built here.
"We've even had whispers of a soon to hatch earth dragon hatchling coming down here to relax in a natural environment." The king of the deep's laughter filled the cave as he and Walker started to talk in depth. Onyx was just glad to spend the time with his brother.
