chapter-340-30041322
I always thought that being in a relationship with multiple people would be hard, but Adel, Sophie, Iena, and Diablo are all good to me. And I am trying to do my best to be good to them. However, I do worry about Diablo and Iena a lot. But I guess that comes with the current situation I am in.
Time ticked by, and I am officially seventeen. I have now outlived my previous life me! Although, now that I think about it, I probably outlived my previous life a while back but if we are talking just going by age, then yes, I am one number older than my previous life me. But if you add it all up, I am much older than that, even though I do not act it all the time.
We are currently in the dwarven kingdom's airspace. "Thurul, I am seeing a lot of human communities down there."
"Mmm… You will see them. After all, we dwarves mainly live in mountainous regions. The outlying area where the farms are is mostly run by humans. They are all under the same kingdom, but the dwarves normally live in Dwrognar, the capital. But you will still see some living in the villages, towns, and cities around here. Some are even married to humans and demis and have given birth to hybrids." Thurul answered.
Another kingdom that did not discriminate. "Wait, but I thought that dwarves did not like humans very much.""No, it is we do not like humans who enslave our kind. Those who live in our kingdom do not have such thoughts and live alongside us. Of course, we do have a few people who think they are still in a place to say such things, but those people never last long since the humans living here will normally be the ones to toss them out." Thurul replied. I guess everyone has their own outlook, and for those who disagree with the ways of some kingdoms, if possible, would move to a place that did not have such traditions.
It did always amaze me, though. Why was it humans that were able to dominate over the land when demi humans had so much more of an advantage? In terms of power and strength, there are many more races that are able to outpower humans. Even with knowledge alone, humans can't defeat some of the other races. It truly was a strange thing.
"Well, forget about that for now. We need to head to the city of Loncaster. It will have a teleport we can take to the capital." Thurul pointed to the northeast towards the tall mountain range.
This now set our new destination, which I was kind of excited about. By teleport, he meant a large teleport circle that floated in the air. It took two months, but as we arrived, you could see a large city with tall buildings made of metal and stone. In the middle hovering over the tallest building high in the sky, was a huge metal circular construct that had a glowing magic circle in the middle of it. "That is an amazing feat of engineering."
"Haha! It was the work of over ten thousand dwarves. It was constructed in three years' time, but it was well worth it. As it was the first of its kind at the start, the magic circle used to send people way off course, but after some time tweaks, it now joins up with the one in the capital inside the mountain range you see off in the distance." Thurul had a look of pride on his face as he looked at the teleport in the air.
"I would love to get a few of these made for Gravos." It would make things so much easier, and to be honest, I think as long as we had the circle and the correct inscriptions, I could easily make one of my own. Surprisingly I never really thought of using it in such a fashion.
"We will get one made. We first need to find dwarves willing to join us, but I think with the pictures of the things you have, many will jump at the chance. A dwarf can never resist the chance to work with new kinds of technology. We wouldn't be dwarves if we did. Haha!" Thurul let out a jolly laugh.I really couldn't wait to see what Gravos will look like in the next five to ten years or so as the technologies begin to appear. As long as we can make things that will help the people and defend the kingdom, I will be happy.
The airship slowly made its way to a long line of airships from all over that were waiting in line to take the teleport. There were thousands of airships, so we still had a while to wait. The teleport, while big, only allowed one ship through at a time. This was because, from what Thurul told me that they do inspections on the ships. No one was allowed through if they had any kind of magic weapons on board. But Thurul also added that ships on the return from the capital were put under heavy inspection that was triple that of the ships going to the capital. This was to keep people from stealing secrets.
This may seem like some kind of invasion of privacy, but it was indeed a means of keeping their technology in the kingdom and safe. It seems the border crossing was also the same on foot. What surprised me was that there were no other magic vehicles besides the airships in the dwarven kingdom unless they were in the capital, but Thurul never mentioned it. But knowing him, he is probably keeping it some kind of surprise for a laugh.
"It will be a few hours, so you girls should take a rest. I will call ya when our turn is next." Thurul offered, but I shook my head. "I want to watch and learn. Everything I see imprints into my mind, so the more minute detail, the more I can understand how things work. So I will stay up here and study this massive teleport."
