Chapter 125 Clay

After having gained a rather shallow understanding of the orb Daedalus knew that he could pick it up. So Daedalus of course grabbed the orb and put it in to a small leather pouch. Daedalus then made his way out of the clay patch and met back up with Thalia.

Thalia sighed in relief as Daedalus had been down there for about thirty minutes. Daedalus smiled and said "Well we won't have to worry about much of anything anymore, with this."

Daedalus then held up the orb, Thalia looked confused and said "Okay so, what is it?"

Daedalus smiled and said "This is an orb or sphere that can multiply anything that is not alive, at least to my current understanding."

Thalia's jaw dropped and Daedalus continued saying "It also means you don't have to carry an insane amount of clay back with us!"

Thalia's lips twitched and she sighed before saying "Can we not go now?"

Daedalus smiled again and said "Sure, let's go!"

Daedalus then hopped on to the back of Thalia quickly while carrying a massive pile of clay, causing her to have to bend down to stabilise from the sudden weight.

A short while and a lot of yelling later Daedalus and Thalia had made it back to the base where Thalia continued to glare at Daedalus hatefully. Daedalus could only sigh as he went to sleep that night hoping she would not try to kill him in his sleep.

After he was asleep Thalia continued to glare at him while thinking wether she should kill him in his sleep or not. A second later Thalia snorted and layed down, clearly she had allowed him to live.

Daedalus woke up early the next morning and quickly went down to the lake. Every morning Daedalus would wake up and spend the morning improving his control. So that is what Daedalus did and after a few hours Daedalus finished for the day.

With his training for the day completed Daedalus walked over to the clay that he and Thalia had brought back the previous night. Daedalus was planning to purify the clay to the highest degree he could and let the orb multiply that.

Daedalus purified the clay in a simple way that also needed a brilliant control of mana to accomplish. Daedalus sent out tendrils of mana into the pile of clay and slowly but surely removed the impurities from the clay. This process took up half the remaining time of the day and the massive pile of clay was now only around half the size of Daedalus.

Daedalus was pleased by the amount and ripped it in half, Daedalus wanted to use half tomorrow and leave the rest to be multiplied by the orb. Daedalus knew he could not leave the orb outside the barrier and so he made a pit near the tree house that was lined with rock to stop anything from leaking out. After that Daedalus put the pure clay in the pit with the orb on top. It didn't take long for the clay to completely cover the bottom of the pit.
