Chapter 27 - Grand Masters of Lava Controlling

Commander Alia replied with curiosity

"Make what work?"

Stefan who seemed to have payed strict attention to detail says

"I recall seeing the dead end tunnel back at the main entrance suddenly burst out with lava.

That dirt and rocks causing the dead end tunnel didn't seem to be like a thin wall. It seemed rather wide.

How wide was it?"

Commander Alia's mind is bursting with confusion. Why would this small ignite want to know how wide the barricade like "dead end" was.

She follows up and says

"That tunnel viewed as a dead end from the other side was fifty meters across.

Meaning fifty meters of rocks and dirt blocking the entrance to the actual town of Lan Zhe."

Stefan calmly says

"Exactly. Fifty meters of barricade….

He stopped his sentence as he saw BlackWind chewing on a halfly grown watermelon.

Woldemir told Alia

"Looks like there is trouble in Paradise."

Commander Alia calmly says

"Let him eat. Horses need food more than we doo. Please continue Stefan."

Stefan puzzling with his own mind, comes back to reality and says

"AAAAAA yes. The tunnel.

As i planned to say, the barricade or differently known as the "Collapse" was fifty meters wide.

But Lava was still able to blast and melt it's way through the collapsed tunnel.

That's what is going to get more fresh air here."

Eric follows up

"So we are going to make an entrance out of this side too?"

Stefan replies with a tone that shows he is getting rather irritated explaining everything in detail. But yet again his plan is slightly complicated.

He says

"No. not an entrance. It wouldn't be of much help. I'm talking about foot long holes.

If a Grand Master comes here and blasts lava out of his hand or wherever he blasts it from towards the cave's side walls, he will make a foot long hole all the way up the surface. Meaning air will be able to come in afterwards."

Commander Alia shouts with joy

"THAT IS GENIUS."

Eric, Woldemir and Mogranius add a few words too

"Well done."

"That's our strategy guy."

"Ehh, not bad."

Eric thinks a little while this time before asking a lot of questions. He had a rather intelligent thought but of course he is going to ask a question about it.

He says

"But i turned that six foot wide tunnel in to a tunnel where even Calidum Lutum could pass with ease. Remember? Could my powers help as well? That goes the same for Mogranius."

Stefan replies with great enthusiasm

"OH YES. But you need to blast less in order to not shake the cave down. Meaning your powers will likely take twice as long to penetrate through the rocks and dirt and reach the surface.

We need every available Grand Master up here. Five Grand Masters and two Expert Fire Wizards will shorten this task."

Woldemir asks

"How long do you think this task would last?"

Stefan said something he rarely says

"I don't know. It all depends on how fast it takes to penetrate each hole.

A hole dug up every twenty meters should be enough without causing a collapse."

Eric adds

"I hope it is not a problem to bring all five Grand Masters up here."

Commander Alia replies with a confident tone

"No issue. No one knows we exist and if an attack is upon us, those old men are quite fast on their feet."

She then turns to a Guard and says

"Asta zat qi er Kap Hukaerto le sadpu. Rakzipat'h pafe.

(Translates too "Bring all of the Grand Masters up here. Captain's orders.")"

Afterwards, she turned to Stefan and said

"Your plan has made the difference of life and death too my people. You have my eternal thanks. Our people will always aid you and of course the rest of you as well."

Stefan not knowing how to reply because he was never treated with such kindness obviously because of the ill.u.s.tratios, replies with

"It's nothing really. The Wizards will be doing all the hard work."

Commander Alia smiles and says

"Well, Witches and Wizards. Three of them are Witches and Two of them are Wizards."

Shortly after Commander Alia finished her sentence, the Grand Masters seemed to have arrived.

Everyone in the gang thought

"They arrived rather fast considering the fact that they were a half mile down."

Commander Alia said

"I know what all of you are thinking. Let's just say they had Lava's assistance."

The first Grand Master to walk in the Door was a man.

His White beard beautifully growing down two feet long downwards his torso. But he didn't seem to have a single hair on his head.

Commander Alia made a quick introduction

"Grand Master Xalk. Recently reached his sweet Thirteen hundred. His skill level reaches to the point where he can form a volcano in a matter of weeks."

Mogranius replies with the utmost amazement

"I can't decide which part is more amazing. The fact that he is thirteen hundred years old or the fact that he can form Volcanoes. Both sound amazing."

Commander Alia replies with

"indeed. But be amazed later. Now let them do their introduction."

The second Calidum Lutum enters the farm.

This one seems to be a women.

Her gold and black hair going down her tightly exercised body showed that age doesn't necessarily equal to a lack of beauty or fitness. At least not for the Calidum Lutum.

Her face seemed so youthful and gorgeous that it would be hard to keep your eyes away from her. But yet again you should because looking at her gives be it both male or female, butterflies in their stomach.

Commander Alia says

"This is Altacin. She looks very youthful but she is near her sweet one thousand. She is nine hundred and eighty three years old.

Age did clearly not get the best of her.

Legend says it is because of her diet that this farm has to offer.

Also she has recently begun her training on forming Volcanoes."
