Eisen walked out to the coast of the island. Khan had been here a lot over the past few days, just looking out into the ocean and enjoying the view. And Eisen also understood why he was here more than the was in prototype. Considering the fact that he wasn't able to shrink down to the size of a human anymore, he would stick out more than just a little.
He wouldn't be able to properly live right alongside them. Or at least, for the time being. Eisen was still intently determined to somehow cure the giants of the curse. But until then, Khan would have to figure out how to live alongside others in a place like this.
At least in the giants' country, he could always stay in places that had a lot of other giants. But that obviously wasn't the case elsewhere. With the tensions between the countries right now, there were barely any giants in the central continent, and even the ones that were there were hiding away without revealing their true form.
Not to mention how hard it would be for Khan to find a place to stay during his travels; Eisen was already working on a large tent that he could place down, as there was luckily enough open wilderness for him to camp out in, but for now that luckily wasn't an issue anyway.
Khan decided to stay in prototype for a little while, and so, the home that Eisen had built for him would hopefully end up being lived in properly.
"Khan," Eisen said, notifying the elderly giant of his presence. Though, that was probably unnecessary; a swordsman at Khan's level would have known that he was nearby long ago.
"Feel like joining me? The breeze is quite nice today," Khan replied with a light smile on his face. The corner of his mouth pressed up against some of the petrified patches of his skin on the back of his cheek.
"Actually, I was wondering if you would want to come with me for a moment. I've got something to show you."
Khan slowly sighed, pushing himself off the ground. Of course, Eisen quickly came and helped him up. With an awkward scoff, Khan waved him away, "You're ten times my age, how embarrassing would it be if I let you help me out?"
"I'm older than nearly every single god in this world, Khan. That doesn't mean much," Eisen pointed out, and Khan simply let out a laugh.
"Fair enough, then. So, what is it you want to show me?" the swordsman asked, as Eisen started guiding him forward. The island was large, of course, but them both being giants definitely helped in how fast they were able to traverse this place until they reached prototype's outskirts.
"Hm... I see..." Eisen replied. Truthfully, an architectural revolution in the giants' country might not be a bad idea, but Eisen had to figure out a good way to introduce methods that were worth using. If it was far too expensive in either money or time, then there would be no reason to give it a try no matter the actual outcome.
It was definitely worth looking into if it was the first thing Khan thought of.
"Though, I guess you were thinking moer of things in the direction of items? Things that you can more tangibly introduce on your own?" Khan asked with a smile, though he already knew the answer, "If that is so, then... transporting goods is quite hard. There aren't many beasts well-suited to draw a giant's carriage, not to mention that our carts break down far too easily.
It is much cheaper to simply higher men to carry the materials on their own, but that is quite hard due to the sheer size of our country. Having a way to move materials and items more easily like non-giants would be incredible."
The moment Khan said this, an idea popped into his mind. A train. A train network that reached all across the giants' country. And not only that, introducing trains into the central continent would solve a lot of the issues that Eisen was hoping to solve. Connecting different people better, creating a better exchange of goods and ideas...
items would be easier to transport, so they would be cheaper, meaning that people could afford more things, not only making their lives better, but also boosting the economy further by creating more jobs to distribute those goods.
Not to mention, if he was able to make transporting goods and materials easier in the giants' country, it would be easier to introduce a change to architectural habits as well.
"I see..." Eisen muttered, a broad grin forming on his face. He would need to talk to Xenia as soon as he could. But before then, Eisen had something else to do. Him and Khan arrived at protoype's outskirts, and a wooden building that wasn't here the last time Khan was stood in front of them.
"Eisen, is this what you want to show me?" Khan asked. He could obviously recognize what it was. There was no way he wouldn't. The elderly giant stepped up to the door, pushing it open. He entered into a space that surprised him more than he could express. The intricacies and the types of furniture in front of him.
The quality of it all.
"Are you serious?" the elderly giant looked at Eisen, who just nodded his head.
"Of course. Here, let me show you the place properly," he replied, happily watching Khan step into his new home.
