The Craftsman 289 The Capital

Over the course of two weeks Daedalus took his time reaching the capital. Along the way Daedalus was surprised to find that the tunnel he was travelling through was becoming wider and much more beautiful.

Long enough in and Daedalus could see that the architecture was an enormous story. So Daedalus spent his time during the journey either cultivating or walking and a.n.a.lysing the statues and other well made parts of the ma.s.sive story.

At the very end of the tunnel Daedalus knew what the story was about. In front of him was a cliff on the side of one of the mountains that formed a basin. At the center of the basin was a ma.s.sive city. The city was utterly indescribable and Daedalus stood there for almost a day simply admiring the beauty.

As he looked at the city Daedalus couldn't help but lament his own arrogance. He was an amazing artisan and craftsman, however he was far from his goal at being the best, even on this planet. Daedalus wouldn't know until the future that this happened to be the moment everything changed, be it better or worse.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daedalus had eventually decided to set up camp for the night as he was still awed by the skill of those that built the city. As he did so, setting up camp, Daedalus observed the basin itself and found that there was a ring of clear blue water surrounding the city. The water was moving to the right and Daedalus could see in the distance an enormous waterfall. Surrounding the city and even in some places within the city Daedalus could see ma.s.sive pine trees.

After making his observation Daedalus couldn't help but think about how nicely all of the colours contrasted. There where beautiful light and dark greens as well as the dark brown almost black trees and the aqua blue of the water. These contrasted the gray stones of the city and made a beautiful scenery that Daedalus just couldn't get enough of.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Early the next morning Daedalus awoke from his cultivation and packed up before heading towards the entrance to the city. Along the way there was a short walk through the pine forest and Daedalus took his time simply to enjoy the scenery once more.

Sadly before long Daedalus had reached the gate where the guards seeing the insignia on his chest let him in while bowing. Daedalus nodded to them and just felt glad that they hadn't caused him trouble like most other guards, maybe it was a sign of change.

A couple hours later Daedalus could be seen walking through an enormous market place. The sounds of hammering and other crafting related sounds saturated the area but not in a bad way, at least to Daedalus. The atmosphere was also warm and peaceful so he decided to look around for a while before going to meet the emperor.

So for a couple hours Daedalus simply walked around, occasionally he would buy something and interact with a few shopkeepers. As it seemed Daedalus had become quite popular many people had noticed his insignia. And seeing as the insignia was of an allied races royal family many had already somewhat learned who he was.
