After finally returning to the Grand Amatas Empire Daedalus began to study all of the techniques they obtained in the Dark Shire region. Daedalus had decided that he would be doing it outside as it was still summer and he would be able to watch the kids while he worked.
So a week after they returned from their vacation Daedalus started working on the a pavillion near the lake. Of course Daedalus put his full effort into building the pavillion as he was likely going to be spending a large amount of time there. In around a day it was finished and Daedalus set up a few tables and chairs as well as a sofa overlooking the lake on the second floor out of five floors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first week or so Daedalus took his time and relaxed while reading through all of the foundation level techniques. While he did this Daedalus came up with a goal for once he read all of the books. That goal was to make his very own foundational technique that encompassed all paths that he knew of.
It was a very ambitious goal but as he continued to think about it he just had a feeling that it was just right. And so he did, spending weeks slowly reading through the books to gain the best possible understanding of each.
After around a month of this Daedalus was finished and moved on to the next part of his goal, to start working on the theoretical knowledge of melding the techniques into one. At first he thought it would be easy however he soon came to realise that though, yes they where all foundation level techniquesthey rarely worked together.
To get around this took a lot of his effort before he realised what he had been doing wrong. Rather than how he was doing it before he could simply find all of the similarities between similar techniques then he could meld all of these higher quality techniques together.
This would also mean that he could give the lesser techniques to his own empire's people. That would also mean that his empire's strength would explode to a whole other level. He had been finding it increasingly important recently, as he knew the sects and other empires where noticing him and it would dissuade them from attacking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With a plan like his Daedalus began to easily make his way through each and every technique and slowly but surely he made progress. After a month he managed to complete two of the techniques and so he set them to the side Andromeda was on and said "You remember that idea I had?"
Andromeda nodded absentmindedly before quickly going wide eyed and saying "Oh my god you did it!?"
Daedalus shook his head and said "No I only finished the two out of thirteen."
Andromeda was still impressed and said "So do you want me to release them to the public or wait until all of the techniques are complete?"
Daedalus smiled and said "We can release them but also make an announcement telling them that eleven more are coming within a year."
Andromeda nodded and left with the books.
