Chapter 419: Chapter 419
Arthur's Point of View
Dwardew
"I'd like to discuss the details of your alliance." I told them.
"May I ask why?" Lady Turiel inquired.
"Because I've heard that Dwarves and Druids are not on the best terms. If this new alliance is built upon recent events, it can last for a time, but it will last longer with some extra help." Adjusting myself, the group waited for me to continue. "What are some of your biggest concerns going forward?" I asked the group. "Specifically, what are some problems that need to be resolved about living together?" The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin
The two women looked at each, and both seemed hesitant to answer. "If I am to be completely honest," Vitar, the young Prince, began. "There are several."
His mother turned to him with a frown. "Vitar!"
"Many of these problems have simple solutions." I stated. "Back in Helmsforth, I've started a bit of a personal project that is being run by several individuals. Trains could easily solve most of your problems. I can write up several blueprints for your people to help with transportation." A weak cough left my throat, and I leaned back. "It will also help with connecting the entirety of the kingdom, and or continent."
Elincia quickly spoke up. "That was the project you were working on in Helmsforth!?" My eyes shifted to her. "Interconnecting Lestrania will improve industry, the economy, safety measures, transportation, and much more."
"And you're just willing to share this?" Ventari questioned skeptically.
I chuckled at that. "It's rather old technology. Nothing too grand." Many in the room looked at each other surprised. "I have a few plans moving forward, but this was mostly just a test for Lestrania."
Kheri pressed further. "A test?"
"Yeah. To see who is useful moving forward. A few minds are clearly being held back by the era they've been born in." My attention quickly shifted back to Vitar. "I plan to move this world forward by leaps and bounds. Naturally, there are a few people I have in mind to help." Gesturing to the Prince, I spoke. "I can essentially solve all your problems the two of your people might have in coming together. The use of wood, though..."
The Prince eyed me carefully. "And what do you want in return?"
"Most of the thing I want were already promised by your mother." My attention then shifted to Lady Turiel. "But that doesn't mean I would miss the chance to put in another request or two. Having access to the Druid's information would also be a huge help."
Lady Turiel gave me a small bow. "The Druids would be willing to offer any help you need in return for the assistance you have given us."
Steepling my fingers together, I replied as I continued to breath heavily. "Good to know. However, there are a few more things I would like. That being said, I'd like to speak directly with the one who is officially appointed as the leader of both the Druids and Dwarves." A weak smile came to my lips as I looked at Vitar. "If I had to make a recommendation, it would be you."
