Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

"Esteemed lord, I have seen your drawings and they all inspired me to make some adjustments, if you allowed me to do so."

Arthur simply nodded, as it seemed this Deem was, like others, afraid of him despite not showing it on the surface.

"The foundations are really important, but for my knowledge there are mighty offensive war tools at the giant clans. These towers and walls might be superb in stopping any small regular army of them, but if they sat their mind on destroying them, then we wouldn't be able to stop them."

His words piqued Arthur interest at once, as he was sure these dark clans wouldn't let his growing city and force to thrive easily. War was something he had to accept, and not only once, but many.

"Go on," Arthur simply nodded with a casual tone.

"I think a deeper foundation should be laid down first. It's a blessing that you, esteemed lord, had selected a huge empty stretch land to build such a huge town here. so, if we could use this place to our advantage, we could lay down foundations that are so hard to demolish."

Arthur stopped walking, as he turned to Ron and said:

"Ron, get me some papers and pen."

Ron nodded, and in the next moment he took out many papers, a table, set of chairs, and a pen made of a long feather of some flying monster.

"Oh, you are really quite prepared," Arthur praised, as he went to sit on the table, in the middle of dust and noises coming from everywhere, as he gestured to the three of them to sit. "Please draw what you have in mind and explain while doing it so I can understand your meaning better."

Deem sat at once, as he grabbed the pen, used the ink Ron provided, made out of the stilled blood of many monsters, then he started to draw while speaking:

"My aim is to dig the whole land, so deep, then lay down the melted ore to form a huge network below the city."

The drawing wasn't so great, but the words, and rough drawing, and Arthur's past experience made him realize what this young man was proposing!

It's a great design by Ley Lines great design!

This was something very sophisticated and hard to achieve for many cultivators back in his past life. The idea was to use the natural earth and heaven energy pathways, and match the infrastructure of the sect with them.

The problem was that not many could detect these lines successfully, and even if they did, most of sects were already built, or applying them to the actual structure of the sects wasn't practical, due to the presence of great obstacle like the misplacement of the mountain peaks or the presence of a lake.

However, as Deem said, in his own terms, this was a very stretched, free and open piece of land. It was an opportunity, a huge one indeed, as if he built his entire city based on the Ley Lines design, the results would be unimaginable!

Deem was speaking from the mere point of strengthening the defenses and buildings, but Arthur knew exactly what it meant to successfully do it. In his time, one sect was established using the right designs of the Ley Lines, and in no time this sect grew in a remarkable speed, to reach the heights of great sects in a very short span of time.

This was done because the Ley Lines design had gathered a huge and purified heaven and earth energy from the whole area around the sect and focused it all inside the sect, giving its cultivators a very great chance to jump ranks fast, be healthier, and stronger.

Also many treasures started to be born from this effect, and many pets grew stronger, turning some into the sacred guardian monsters of this sect!

That was a really living legend he witnessed personally, not read in some old books.

"Go on," Arthur nodded, while his mind was quite busy right now, recalling everything he knew about these lines, and how to pull this feat.

Deem started to draw more lines as he added:

"I don't know if you can agree with me here, but I have always had this strange connection with these lines, feeling their energy flowing, and I'm sure it will be great to align everything with them."

Arthur's eyes shone brighter, as this time he knew he found a real gem!

"Do you sense these lines?" Arthur asked.

"Sure, why?"

"Because these are called Ley Lines, the line of energy flowing in the world. it's a real talent, an extremely rare and very useful one," Arthur explained slowly as he was smiling in content. "I want you to draw the lines you feel, then I will task everyone to follow the lines you draw, setting down foundations along them. try to take a tour, feel the lines carefully, and give an accurate description of the thickness of each line."

Deem looked in astonishment towards Arthur as he asked:

"Does that make a difference?"

"Sure, the foundations must be a real embodiment to these lines. Any slight deviation and the final effect of them would be decreased."

"What effect?"

Arthur just smiled mysteriously as he replied:

"You will find it out when everything is done. I believe you will be the most to be affected by these changes here."

Deem didn't know what else to say about this matter, so he pushed away the paper with drawing, before taking another one as he added:

"I also have another suggestion, if you may."

"Sure, what is it?"

Arthur was really in a good mood. Finding a Ley Lines master was considered a real event worthy of celebration.

"The materials we have are quite lacking. The mountains give us a great source indeed, but these mountains are all formed of the same kind of ore. I think we need more variety of them, if possible."
