God is a Game Designer 131 C130 Tour Guides

Standing outside the Inn. Both council member Poiea and Desren waiting for the group of outsiders to eventually come for the tour. It was both of them coming together to decide to work on this full force. While the council were in a three to one agreement on accepting the alliance as it solved the incoming food issue It seemed Karoth: who was the leader of imports and exports did not trust them at the word of the guests.

Today was not only a day to get closer to the guests but also to find out as much information as possible. They needed to figure out logistics, supply and amount. They required a large portion of food and after recent support of a decline in population in the town of Baski they needed to get answers fast before the people began to riot.

"So, since they saw the shops and processing areas. I think we show them one of the mines. Maybe with Sir Sketa."

Desren spoke as she overlapped her long Dark Elf arms as she thought for a moment on who was the best person to show. Her fellow Council member Poiea is shaking her dwarfen head as she looked up to her.

"Are you crazed in the head lass?"

Her words were coming to a shock to the other woman who gathered most of her materials from Sketa Miners. They produced almost sixty percent of the total gathered materials in the entire district.

"Oh, may I know what is wrong with that. I'm the processing council, and I know that we get the majority from Sir Sketa's mines."

The Elven woman finished the dwarven woman just laughed next to her, shaking her hands as she turned to face her fully.

"Yeah, also how about the safety violations and hazards. You don't know about them because Sketa pays his fines and pays people well to shut up. It will be just our luck if the group get killed in his mines!"

Folding her arms as Poiea looked up to the woman with intensity as she wanted the safest option while Desren wanted the most productive opportunity. They both shook before they decided on the best between choice.

"Cheivden"

Both of them saying the man's name at the same time as he was a safe worker but still used explosives and other technologies to unearth veins that his safer competitors did not apply.

Just as they finished, they watched the group of representatives along with Denoth coming out. They had to know Denoth by name as he spearheaded a decent chunk of the trade between the town of Baski and Sengi. They still found it strange that he had come to such a position to help both groups.

"Greetings ladies are you ready to see the tour of the mines. We will show you exactly what you are going to receive from working with us."

Both women smiled at the group as Denoth rolled his eyes in the back as he got excluded from the greetings. Auryn was bowing gently to both women as her smile grew at the reception.

"Thank you both for showing me around: it's a pleasure to have such attention while we are here."

Her words floated in the air perfectly as both women felt the heat rising to their cheeks. The flowers in the pots near the inn slowly shaking like the presence of the woman made them more alive. Her entire being was making the world around her more alive even in this damp and dark place. It was clear to the powers she possed.

Both women staring for a brief moment till Desren coughed briefly to clear the air, making a motion to follow as the group started to move towards the north, past the outer ring of the city and into the depths.

During the walk past the rings of the city, it was easy to see the levels of poverty in different sections. The rich part looked like any average middle-class section in most human towns. The low availability of space, food and water made the rich pay at a premium.

The middle ring was also the location of most stores, workshops and other businesses. It seemed this area became filled with the most muti-homes with most families sharing a home with one to three different groups depending on the living condition.

The outer ring was the slum district with most buildings being what people could scavenge together. Unlike the abandoned Senoa slums in which people had to fight for the fundamental rights of survival, this one had people helping, and some buildings were getting constructed to become more liveable.

It was still a sad state of affairs as most people here looked underfed and malnourished. It made Auryn grieve as she saw the state of things. She would begin to work on this as she wanted no one to suffer like this. She knew some of the others would be annoyed with her, but she cared little in the end. She would do what was best for people. She would do what she thought Nathan would want as well.

After arriving at the mines. Auryn was looking around as the ores were loaded onto carts and took away, guards checking over the miners as the loads became processed and the tally taken for the amount of ore gathered in each vehicle. It was all efficient and clean compared to most standard mining operations.

Though one thing caught Auryn's attention in this mine. Ores getting dumped to the side which were pure white. No one was paying any attention to them as she walked over.

"What are these?"

She said picking up the massive ore with a grunt as she looked over it. Feeling somewhat connected to this ore.

"Oh, that is Godless Ore. It's an ore that no one can change, use or do anything. It's a trash ore that highly frequents in this area. It's a shame really as its a nice shade of white."

Auryn scanning over the ore as she felt something deep inside the ore. She would need to take some back to Nathan as she knew this would be useful. Her words surprising the others as she said lightly.

"Can I keep this?"s.
