Chapter 54 Discovery

As Daedalus left the prison he grabbed a carriage and started heading to the Crafter's union headquarters. A while later Daedalus was now in front of the crafter's union with his royal guards. Walking in anyone that saw Daedalus would immediately move to the side.

A few moments later an employee saw them and immediately called for a superior. Not long after an older man in an official suit came out of the back room. The man walked up to Daedalus and said "Your highness, what have you come for today?"

Daedalus quickly explained how one of the crafter's union's alchemists had come and caused trouble for him while under orders to do so. Throughout this explanation the ma. became more and more pale until he was sweating. The man had been the one to give the order and was now realising that he had made a terrible mistake.

"I would like to apologize to your highness for this my mistake I should have known better than to do something like that to you and your business!"

Daedalus put on a shocked look and said "Oh so it was you? Guards arrest him! You should have at least done your homework before giving such an order."

After the incident the leader of the crafter's union personally came out and apologized to Daedalus. Daedalus however never really cared, but he did use this chance to get the crafter's union as a trading partner.

A few days later Daedalus was once again working on a few new ideas. One idea was using a potion to buff some living metal.

First Daedalus tried a sword, after making a sword out of living metal Daedalus made a few grooves and put a sort of tube along the groove, Daedalus then made the potion flow through the tube and out some tiny holes on the side to strengthen the blade making it sharper or sturdier. After a few tries Daedalus had managed to get it working and he could effectively make a sword stronger through potions and without using any runes.

The second idea came shortly after the first. Daedalus grabbed a chest piece and engraved runes into the form of a rhino, this made the armour sturdier and good for charging in, he then began laying a network of connecting tubes throughout the runes. When he was done Daedalus had a potion of strength go through the tubes. After a few attempts Daedalus managed to make a highly strengthened armour, through the combination of enchanting and alchemy.

With his new discoveries Daedalus walked over to his father's study. After walking in he asked his father to get his mother and waited. Not long later Daedalus was sitting across from his mother and father with the sword and armour on the table between them.

Daedalus made sure he had their attention before explaining to them his discovery and the uses it could have. It could be used to make stronger weapons and armour for the army and guards, and it could be used to make stronger and longer lasting enchantments.
