"You're thinking right but.. we do not inhabit a normal world. Our world would never allow these types of things. A train track would be exquisite if there were towns nearby to start with. But...why settle for a train when, together, we could create a series of gateways across the continent and teleport anyone or anything. Instantly! We would need metal, gemstones, our scrolls! Dozens for a single gate! The archeway would need to be immense and well secured. Do you think we can do it?"

[color=f49ac2]"Hmm..."[/color] Brunhillde pondered for a moment, [color=f49ac2]"It should certainly be possible, assuming the laws of architectural crafting have carried over, similar to how the laws of item crafting have."[/color]

[color=a187be]"If I may interrupt,"[/color] Omniac suddenly declared, [color=a187be]"From what I can gather from the cacophany within the guildhall, at the location of Lady Tea and the others, the breach in the defenses seems to lead to a cave into the mountain. perhaps the required resources can be gathered there?"[/color]

[color=f49ac2]"True, we should get plenty of stone and metal that way, but higher rarity items may be more difficult, like magic gems. Either we'll have to trade for it, find where they can actually be mined, or perhaps craft it ourselves. I think it's a grand idea, but..." [/color] Brunhillde had certain misgivings. Magic, obviously, was something that was poorly understood, at least for modern day humans in the real world, so it was not something she wanted to rely upon completely. She was reminded of how solar maximums, EMPs, or simple power outages could knock out electronics, surely anti-magic capabilities existed alongside magic as a necessity for shutting down mages or dangerous enchantments. In the end, as an engineer, Brunhillde took comfort in the knowable, physical realm. Still, she wasn't going to let her obsession with the physical obstruct her from trying every possibility. [color=f49ac2]"Maybe we can have alternative forms of mass transportation in the interim until the project is complete, or as a backup in case the magic of the portals malfunctions. Besides, a network of magical gateways is too powerful to let fall into the wrong hands. If we recruit people to help us gather resources, it would make sense to give them access only to mundane forms of transportation. There is also the advantage of having a form of technology that we alone understand."[/color]
