God is a Game Designer 80 C79 Into the town of Sengi

Auryn and the group eventually got led out of the ruined room, everyone still feeling nervous about the whole idea of getting taken by such an escort after Auryn went and destroyed the entire area around herself.

Passing through security gate after security gate is it seemed the massive iron gates multiplied every minute of walking. Six doors in total as they passed by them through the tunnels to the left and right of them. It was almost like these doors were more ceremonial than actual working entries.

The leader of the group was Keen. The men and women around him were numbering in the dozens as an entire military squad was currently 'protecting' them.

In truth, the soldiers kept an eye on the Snow Elf rather than watching the crowds around them. Everyone had received the briefing on the capabilities of the woman and even some seeing the damage after the fact.

Passing through the final checkpoint, many of the guards on edge as they saw the military force leading the group through with almost no information given out to the regular guards. The info about what had happened getting suppressed to the least amount of people as possible.

Entering through the last gateway, Auryn felt impressed with the number of structures, defences and other military posts. Such a fortress could require weeks, months or even longer worth of sieging through the main gates with a large and well-prepared army to also make a dent against the high doors.

The other way with the many tunnels seemed to be a better way of attacking compared to the gates: this was another suicide path for an attacking army as this prefered the defenders The many small tunnels could collapse with a defender preference. All of the options available made it sure that the city of Sengi was going to be a commanders nightmare.

Finally entering into the city made a stark contrast to the massive bulwark of defences behind them. It was an enormous difference compared to the military institutions.

The entire cavern around them was devoid of rock, almost like several dragons had devoured this colossal area out themselves. It was a quarter of the size of the valley of Sanctuary but still impressive due to the rock removed.

The city layered in rings as the outside layer looked filled with residential houses, small stores and near the entrance it also appeared to have many storehouses to keep stock and supply. With the army's barracks in this area as well due to the importance of the items held inside.

The city descended farther into the earth as the outer later was at the highest level. The middle area filled with many blacksmiths, toolmakers and other metal workers.

The echoing sounds of hammers caressing the metal as the rapid sounds of the dings vibrating the walls of individual buildings. Dwarfs and Dark elves toiling away in sweat as the hissing of water as each blade received the cold water caressing it

The smog seemed thickest in this area as the pollution flooded into the air and climbed to the top of the cavern. Magical enchantment's lining the walls and the very height of the cavern to remove this pollution at just a fast enough rate to stop the town below becoming engulfed in toxic pollution.

Auryn stared at the shops as she took a detour, moving up to one of the Blacksmiths as her curiosity got the better of her. The dwarf inside toiling away as his many assistants ran around almost like headless chickens.

"Oi, you bastards. Hurry up and bring the Mithril for the core. This client is paying top silver for this!"

The older dwarf hissed as he hammered away on a separate piece, the outer frame of the weapon became almost completed as he stood absorbed into his work.

His eyes were only moving once over the woman that approached him, his body shaking in annoyance as it became clear that he responded to new customers with hostility during his working hours.

It took him a second glance for his hammer to stop, mouth falling open as his eyes glued themselves to the woman. The beauty was causing him to feel something he had rarely ever felt for someone else.

The apprentices and assistants stopped instead quickly as well, noticing their master stopping his hard work to stare, everyone's eyes turning before they also felt jaws growing somewhat loose.

"Please, Sir Blacksmith. I did not mean to interrupt. I'm always interested in a Dwarf who has mastered his craft."

Each word caressing his ear as the Old dwarf stroked his long black beard, several small silver cuffs braided into his beautiful thick hair as the runes glowed with constant power. His height was equaling almost two-thirds of the Elves.

"Please Madam; It's no problem at all. Look at my wares, and if you require a custom price for a personal blade then I will be happy to give you the best deal this side of Sengi! Please call me Seros."

Seros spoke his words smoothly as the assistants turned to the dwarf with shock and surprise: apparently, this was the first time since they had started that any of them had heard such words from their master.

"Seros, that is an amazing and lovely name. I'm a traveller from out of town. Can you explain a few things to me about the sword you are crafting, it seems hollow in the centre. Oh and Silvers? You do not use gold?"

The words spoken by Auryn again touched the hearts of everyone around, the beauty of woman causing many to grow attached to each word spoken by her, even the old dwarf who had turned from a grouch into a kind sensitive soul.

"Silver?"

It took a moment for Seros to process the words before he understood the questions, deciding to answer the second one first before getting into his craft.

"Empire coins are worthless. They move based on the principle of the empires worth and not the coins worth. The city-state of Sengi adopted the Sengi Silver which is a coin valued on the contents of Silver inside. The coins are small, but about six of them hold valued at a single fake golden empire coin. Even if you cant use the coin in empire territory, you can smelt it down and use it for that."

Auryn let out a small giggle as she beamed to them all, everyone staring at her like she was the moon gazing down upon them.

"Interesting."
