Eisen''s pen traced over the map in front of him as he nned out all the routes for the railroad to be built. Gind was standing next to him, double-checking the map data with her knowledge of the topography of thends that the railway would pass through.


    "With the current state of the railroad ns, there should be no issue to start the construction as soon as we have the materials prepared," Gind exined, holding her hands behind her back while the old man slowly stood up from his seat.


    "Perfect. Bring this map to Xenia then, she should be able to have one of the construction orbs calcte the actual amount of materials that we need."


    "Of course," Gind nodded her head, "However, what do you want to do about the excavated stone in the parts where tunnels will be constructed?"


    The old man thought about it for a moment, "Well, the way that they''re set up is that all the excavated is momentarilypressed and set aside as bonus materials, and could then be used to fill in any gaps underneath the rails automatically. But we will inevitably end up with a ton of excess...


    depending on the quality, I would like to reuse them for the bridges that we''ll be building between the inds as much as possible," Eisen exined, "As for the parts that aren''t useful for that... we''ll have thempressed down and momentarily stored in a temporary storage facility on each of the inds.


    Once the trains are actually up and running, we can transport them to a central storage, and then send them out whenever we do find a use for them."


    "In that case, I will begin the preparations needed to construct those temporary storage facilities and find people to manage them," Gind quickly replied.


    "That would be great. But it doesn''t have to be anything special. It''s stone, it can all be left outside. Well, except for that one ind, the one with the Rock-eaters? We might need a barrier for the storage there. I''ll make something for that before we start construction there...


    especially since that''s quite a mountainous ind, so we''re going to have a lot of tunnels there..." the old man let out a deep sigh.


    Managing all of this was a lot more annoying than he thought, and until now, he had only nned out the most barebones parts of the railwork; the connections between each of the inds and the location of their ''main'' railways leading to each ind''s central station.


    On top of that, he worked out the moreplexworks here on the Capital Ind, the one on the ind where the treaty meeting was going to happen, as well as on the two harbor-inds where the different envoys would arrive. Four total.


    The ind toward the central continent was already in the middle of being developed as a city, since it was the ce where most of the trading with the central continent was happening from, and the ind toward the giants'' country was simrly starting up.


    Since those were the main contact points, their railworks obviously had to be on the moreplex side to make the transport of both materials and people actually as efficient as it could be. And at the same time, since the Capital Ind was in the dead center of the archipgo, it also needed to act as a hub for travel and transport within the country itself.


    That meant that three of the four railway and stationworks that he had to figure out were actually the top three mostplex.


    The only part that made this less stressful was that those construction-orbs that Xenia had created were just as capable in de-construction as they were in the original construction.


    Once the initial prototype tests were done in the open field at the edge of the ind, the orb cleaned up after itself to the point where Eisen felt confident in letting basically all the materials be reused for other rails.


    "How is Evalia looking on the ns for the stations?" Eisen asked, and Gind seemed to think for just a moment.


    "When Ist spoke with her, she was investigating the three other inds for inspiration, and took a closer look at the locations of each ind''s central station, as well as the intermediary stations whose locations had already been set in stone.


    I believe her and the team of architects and masons apanying her managed toplete arge portion of those stations already, but the central stations are still work in progress," Gind exined. She was the only one that could travel throughout this country almost instantaneously, so she had a lot of information to keep track of.


    "...Do I have anything else on my schedule for the time being?" the old man wondered, but Gind shook her head, "Not currently, all has been taken care of. However, you did n on improving the prototype for the train and instruct the town craftsmen on how to create the different train carriages soon."


    The old man ran his fingers through his beard, "Well, thatst part can wait, the train that the envoys will see will be built by me. But alright, that does make things easier. I''ll head to my workshop now, let me know if you need anything."


    "Of course. Do not hesitate to call on me either," Gind replied, before quickly disappearing in a a blue cloud. Eisen stepped out to the balcony of his study. A part of the railing was missing, since Eisen had removed it to makeing and going easier.


    The old man quickly stepped off the balcony and transformed, spreading out his wings as he flew to the gardens, dropping down right in front of his workshop.


    "Wee back," Constant smiled at the old man, "What are you working on today?"


    "Just making something that I promised I''d make," Eisen replied, rubbing his hand through the guardian''s hair as he walked by, stepping down into the storoage-basement.


    "And what would that be?"


    "Some assistants."


    Constant slightly tilted his head, "Aren''t I your assistant?"


    "Not for me," Eisen replied as he turned on the lights. He looked around the room and stepped up to the shelves with thepressed crystals and gems, "Gind requested that I make her some Core Helpers so that she can take care of more things. She wasn''t originally built to really take care of a whole country''s business on her own."


    "Ah, I see!" Constant replied, "How can I help?"


    "Well, first and foremost, you cane with me and take a seat," Eisen exined, and Constant raised his brows confused. Once Eisen grabbed all the materials he would needter, Constant sat down on a stool, and Eisen squatted down in front of him, "Could you give me your arm?"


    The core helper did as asked, holding forward his arm. Eisen smiled and grabbed it, pressed his palm onto Constant''s forearm. He closed his eyes, and Constant could feel something intrude. A tiny bit of mana pulsing through his veins,ing not from the artificial soul inside of him, but from outside, from Eisen. This continued for about twenty whole minutes that Constant fought through nervously.


    And then, Eisen released his hand, and shivers ran through the guardian as he could feel something just... change.


    "Alright, there we go," the old man replied, "It was really just a small change, but it took me a while to figure out what I could alter safely."


    "What... what did you just do?" Constant jumped off the stool,


    "I changed your enchantments," Eisen exined, and Constant''s eyes widened.


    "Seriously? You mean you- I can go wherever I want now?"


    "Of course. I should have done this a long time ago, buddy," the old man said, smiling as Constant jumped to him for a hug, "However, you need to be careful. When you''re outside of the original area, you won''t be able to connect to it at all, okay? That means you won''t know what''s going on here, you won''t be able to teleport around, and you can''t just return back here through a teleport either.


    You''ll be like any other guardian living in town."


    "That''s fine!! Thank you so much!" Constant smiled broadly, "Do you mind if I..."


    "Go ahead, I''ll be fine for now. I''ll have someone fetch you if I need anything. Have fun, alright?"


    Constant immediately nodded his head, rushing out the door of the workshop.
