It's about 4 months until we start the international project that connects Amleth and Elven Kingdom. After countless hours of debating, sea of paperwork, nights of coffee addiction (not me, but others), the struggle, this mad driving project will soon be realized by all of us.
The money invested by all the countries involved is really nothing to sneeze at. I can't even imagine how much I have to work just to get the same amount of money. Truly terrifying. This puts the project leaders, Duchess Eisheth and Duchess Akela, under intense pressure. Even the smallest problem has to be solved by them, and that's on top of their already massive responsibilities as Duchesses.
There are still a few issues, but it's nothing that time can't fix, as all of us involved are working diligently, mainly
1/ Werehouse upgrade. Since Werehouse will carry the bulk of the materials, Werehouse needs to be in its best condition. It must be prepared for terrain changes, abnormal weather, and possible attacks from baddies.
2/ The material, especially the core. Most of it is prepared by Amleth, with others pouring in money. They also agreed during the conference to provide some additional core when we enter their country. We have Sister Ophelia, with her power over the land, to mass produce the core we need, but too much reliance could have negative effects on the land, so caution is needed.
3/ The workforce. The Noble School will provide some of the needed labor. This is in addition to the guild as well as volunteers. These need to be properly vetted, nothing they can't handle, but getting even one volunteer is hard enough. I was able to convince a few of the giants, and boy, do the two duchesses ever thank me. Giant's help is undoubtedly something that's useful, whether it's security or transportation of goods.
There are some other aspects that are still under discussion, the main one being who gets the right for this project. To be honest, shouldn't it be this country? I don't see why it shouldn't be Amleth who gets the right. We put in the most money, the needed materials, the manpower, the research, so it is only natural for us to get it, but, others also bring a good argument, something that, once again, drives others crazy just arguing about it.
Master Merlin, on the other hand, has also been gathering more and more evidence to blackmail those who are a nuisance to this project. Of course, this is bad, and I feel bad because this project was originally started because of my whim to talk to Grandma Farhah whenever I want. I feel bad, but when I heard what they actually did, whether it was sacrificing someone for eternal beauty or exploiting a vulnerable group, the guilt faded.
"Yes. This cannon should be good" [Brokkr].
"This can even penetrate the iron gate of the dwarven kingdom... Such power"
"Nothing less from the best blacksmith!"
"Werehouse is getting bigger and bigger... Can it even be called Werehouse at this point?" [Diana]
"It's still dwarfed by the moving castle of Empire. A damn living castle! That's definitely something I wanted to create! Heck, I'll force The Queen Herself to give permission to renovate her castle!" [Brokkr]
"Easy now..."
Brokkr, our country and possibly, if not the best blacksmith on the continent, expressed his desire. If it weren't for the tight time frame, I'm sure he would do something even more magnificent, but he's no fool to be led by his desire, so he set up a project that is feasible in every way. Others are on the same passionate path as he is.
The blacksmith upgrading Werehouse weapons. The researcher trying his best to stabilize Werehouse. The carpenters who make Werehouse bigger and better. Initially a two-story house, it's now a three-story house, and I'm sure it'll get bigger as time goes on.
As I continue to offer my help to heal Werehouse whenever needed, as well as communicate with him, the main event for today has arrived. With Sas installing the much needed features to make Werehouse talk! I can't wait! I can't wait to hear it!
"How are you Werehouse? Are you okay?" [Diana]
"Fine" [Werehouse]
"The Mana Core speak! It's a success!" [Einstein]
"Studying the Golem is a worthwhile effort" [Nar]
"You guys are geniuses... I can't even begin to imagine how..." [Dana]
"Well, the Golem's speech functionality is the basis for the non-speaking object to speak. So by taking the base of their functionality and integrating it for Werehouse, it allows Werehouse to talk to us, albeit one word at a time" [Diana].
"You lost me at Golem's speech functionality" [Dana].
Its speech functionality is a huge success. Golems researched by Emas researchers as well as the dwarven kingdom are able to develop a coherent speech. Not a full sentence yet, but they're getting there, however limited their 3-4 word sentence is. Werehouse, at most, is able to make 2-word sentences, and as of now, that's more than enough. Things like pain, recharge, scared, danger and all are basic ones needed as of now, with more plan by all of us to add more much needed vocabulary in the future. And since Werehouse is smart, I'm sure he'll pick out some words on his own.
"I think we can cross Werehouse off our list of worries" [Nar].
"Agreed. The materials we need will be taken care of by the Duchesses, Ophelia, and Khamisah, so one will be out of the way as well" [Sas].
"So only labor... Honestly, I can sympathize with those who withdraw from the project. It's really a challenge" [Dana].
"Giant helping us is a great favor, but we need a little more" [Diana].
How should we approach this issue?
