After toiling for a whole afternoon and evening, the two slogged back into the city. In the end, they had managed to catch around 30 mosquitoes.
After making a trip to the marketplace in which Daneel made some purchases, the two parted ways.
Reaching his room, Daneel started working on his first product in this world.
The result of this work would determine whether he would build the financial cornerstone for the rise of his faction.
The next morning, Daneel traveled to the Training Hall again. This time, he requested a meeting with Elanev's father, the "Righteous Hawk".
Although he had seldom interacted with the man, he had heard a lot of things about him from Elanev. Elanev's mother had passed away at a very young age, and since then, his father had brought him up to be who he was now.
According to Elanev, there had been many occasions on which his father simply spent the whole night kneeling in front of his mother's grave.
The next day, Elanev would usually find out that some or the other moner or soldier had either been executed or exiled by the arrogant nobility.
Always a staunch believer in fairness, his father often lamented that he was one of the last pillars that stood on the moner's side. Although he could not do much in the present state of the Kingdom, he always did whatever was in his power, like in the event where he had awarded Daneel prime citizenship.
Thus, Daneel decided that he was the right man to partner with if he wanted to smoothly build a financial base for his faction. Besides, he would not be exposing any crucial plans to a member of the government. It was mon for ministers to start businesses in the Kingdom, so this would also elicit less attention towards him.
All he needed was a steady supply of Ether and wealth to train his followers and make trinkets. Although he had contemplated selling his product under his own name and keeping all the profits to himself, there was no way this would escape the attention of the King or the Grand Court Mage. Besides, his primary focus was still to train for as much amount of time as possible.
On entering the inner city, Daneel and Elanev walked towards a gate situated right beside the palace.
After passing through an expansive lawn, the duo arrived at a manor with pointed spires and an enormous door. The architectural style was quite different from the library-long flights of stairs were replaced by a ramp that led up. Instead of huge pillars, there were many smaller ones, elegantly carved with figures of dancing men and women. The door was the most striking part of the manor, with the top of the door reaching at least 20 feet in height.
Entering the manor and seating themselves in one of the softest sofas Daneel had ever seen, the two chatted while waiting for the minister to e.
Around a half-hour later, 2 familiar figures appeared at the doorway. One of them was the space mage that had explained about the mageroot before. The other, who was looking at Daneel with an odd look on his face, was the man fondly known as the 'Righteous Hawk" by many.
"Wele, Daneel. What brings you here?
