God Is A Game Designer 137 C136 - The Journey Stone

"A gateway. What are you talking about?"

The Elven man was speaking first. Karoth was just speechless otherwise as he tried to understand the meaning behind this all. What was the purpose of this device and how would it help them. Each step was echoing as they finally exited the outer ring of the city. Most of the trip spent in total silence.

"I was given this by Nathan. He told me that this Gem would make a tunnel between here and Sanctuary. It has other abilities to journey between the two points to shorten the time taken between the two places."

Holding in her hand what seemed to be a thick brown gem that looked almost similar to a mana crystal except for the many carved lines into the rock that seemed to pulsate with pure power. The stone was guiding people's eyes as they focused on it like a trance. A few people wanted to touch it almost like it had a mesmerising effect on them.

Finally arriving at the edge of the cavern as the wall started here. Thick natural stone walls rising around them. The cave wall mined and picked for years to come to this point as weaknesses and stress points marked into the walls.

"So how will this solve our issues then. I'm a.s.suming it has something mystical about it?"

The man continued asking questions. Karoth's queries were getting more concerned as he did not understand the whole nature of this. His mind merely thinking to the more logical side then the mystic side.

"Well. We can have caravan's go down this route without worry of attack or ambush between our towns. It will reduce the time between the villages to less than a day of travel. It will also mean the food will remain fresh. It will also allow us all to be happy with this arrangement as we both will be able to help each other in desperate times."

Holding the Stone, Auryn started to channel her energy into it as the small brownstone began to glow brightly with light brown streaks of light flooding into the chamber. Lifting from her hand as it started to spin rapidly. The sounds of shattering gla.s.s echoing into the area as the gem broke into two pieces.

The first piece remained here spinning slowly as the earth rose below it. Turning into a stone pillar with strange markings all over it as it continued to grow up to the gemstone. The support was now holding the gem at the top like a pedestal holding something valuable.

The second piece began to spin faster and faster as it moved southwards into the wall. The deafening screech as the wall around the glowing brownstone just vanished without a trace. Carving a twenty-meter diameter hole, Boring into the earth as it went and continued its journey. The several council members and even Kaye staring in wonder as the tunnel became made.

"Well. Worry not as this should get faster. When I asked Nathan said it can take an hour or two depending on the length so I a.s.sume it will become faster!"

Finishing with a smile as Auryn had turned her back to the strange stone digging a hole into the earth, picking up speed as it shot off into the darkness as the tunnel became constructed. Though the distance shreeking of stone and earth getting dug still present to them all.

"This is a security risk. They can bring armies through this hole! If they want to invade this is a perfect way to do so!"

The anger in Karoth's tone loud as he felt panic and fear coming to him after witnessing such an event. His mind in a war-like state as he knew nothing all too much of this.

"Oh, Karoth shut up."

Everyone turned to the woman who spoke those words. Desren was looking at the man with pure annoyance as she could see the bigger picture. The man seemed to not understand anything at all when it came to matters like this. He only thought about the logical steps, and this was a point which logic needed to get set aside.

"They are G.o.ds. I doubt they need a hole like this to get in. If the man who made this wanted to. I'm sure he could invade the other way around. Why waste our time. The church is our real foe, and if we can gain allies against them, I say we take the hand extended to us."

While they both stared at each other. Karoth about to go another round to start arguing his point. Auryn was letting out a coughing noise as she put her hands together trying to make peace between them both. Her eyes filled with gentle peace as she smiled.

"I mean not to interrupt, but we have a common foe it seems. We also hate the Church."

As she finished Karoth changed his target as he turned to the woman, placing his hands on his hips as he looked down at her in annoyance.

"Why do you even hate the Church?"

"Why do we hate the Church? I think its an easy thing to know since we are all trapped in this h.e.l.l hole. Though the armies chased us as they knew we had an essential person with us, the Princess of the entire empire exiled into this place, and of course, the Arch Bishop wanted that. Nathan destroyed the army's moral and routed them. Turning the weapons, they had back against them and then obliterated the Arch Bishop from two kilometres away with nothing but a c.r.a.ppy hunting bow."

"They attacked us, and he saved us. We owe him and yet he keeps making the debt worse. Making a place for us to live, saving us and what other things will he do to help us out."

"He is our. True G.o.d."
