Chapter 15 - Chapter 15. First steps

Very interesting, magic sensitivity I've never seen it on another player or it was mentioned to me, but as long as it's about magic it's sure to be a good thing.

 Without giving much thought to the skill I would get, I gathered everyone back together.

 -Well, this place is perfect, very hard to find and sheltered, now is the time for some huts to be created or maybe for now a common house, we would also have to get some areas where to store, I want to remind you to be careful when moving around, this is unknown territory and we have no idea if around here is hiding some potential enemy or maybe in the pit outside - They all nodded without thinking much about it.

 -The next point will be to explore, we have to learn everything we can about the surroundings, if there are enemies, animals, beasts or other intelligent beings, we also have to find materials to make our houses and maybe some plants, like seaweed and other variants that can grow underwater and with the pressure that is in the cavern - As I finished speaking, both Lint and Caronte postulated to be the explorers, for some reason I expected it, I made Velona and Gea accompany them for more security.

 -The last point for now, we have to find and check all the materials we find, we have to find out their peculiarities and their utilities, we have to start the technological race… - At that point Balthazar raised his hand, to which I nodded to him to speak.

 - My lord, I would not like to contradict but... - I could see the nervousness in his gestures and how the others began to look at him with some malice, especially Lilith.

 - Speak, Balthasar, there is no problem to express yourself and say what you think, even if you contradict me, as long as it is correct or far from third parties, you can propose what you want - He relaxed a little, but he understood that if what he thought was not correct it would be bad for him, not because of what his lord would do to him, but because of the other members of his faction.

 With his erratic and stiff movements, he stepped forward and proposed.

 - My lord, this place is brimming with magic and thanks to my individuality I can come to better understand the potential of this place, especially the crystals, they give me the feeling of being pure magic, just magic in a crystallized state, so before we focus on looking for sticks and stones, I think we should use the crystals in our homes, they transmit magic and only now that we are together I could see that this magic is slowly entering our bodies, like little fireflies that melt to the touch -

 At that point, most of them couldn't help but start checking their bodies and surroundings, looking for those fireflies Balthazar mentioned, seeing their interruption, I coughed a little exaggerated so they would stop looking for something they couldn't see and refocus on the explanation.

 Balthazar thanked me with a smile, which I must admit that our race should not give them very often, a very big mouth, many teeth ... no need to explain much.

 - Thanks to that, I am sure that using the crystals would be the best, our bodies seem to begin to adapt to the magic and maybe it can improve our aptitude for this, another point is that thanks to that epiphany and this place, I think I can begin to study the concepts of sealing magic, with that we could advance faster than knowing how to make some rustic weapon, if we are strong enough or rich enough we can acquire that rural knowledge - After finishing speaking, Balthazar, returned to the line with the others, while I was in deep thoughts.

 After a while I was able to answer.

- Balthasar you will focus only on the study of magic and we will take your idea of the use of crystals, you are also in charge of studying them and find out all their uses, the rest of us will continue as I had said, although magic is very powerful it takes time to study it and more time to learn it, we can't depend on it alone or at least for now, now the remaining five of you can choose what to do.

 Saun together with me and Lilith went to look for various resources.

 Gal, Pelé and Irina set out to find some way to break the crystals and use them as building materials, while Demora fell asleep in a small hole in the stretch of cave between the crack and the dome of our crystal cavern.

 Woe betide anyone who wanders in and finds this little critter yawning.

 We returned to the surface a little faster, because we knew the way, and before climbing up the chasm I stood contemplating the dark subway world.

 It was certainly scary, an atrocious one, I feared that at any moment a huge beast would appear from the bottom with its mouth open and swallow us all, how scary was the unknown.

 When we left the underworld behind we returned to the daylight, to the thousand colors of fish, coral and vegetation.

 Our search was to find loose materials that we could use, the same for seeds and other various resources.

 We began by collecting some black rocks, these had the special feature of being easy to fragment and the sharpness of its fragments, something we discovered when Saun leaned on an already broken fragment, the cut was not very deep, but the fact that it could pierce its scales so easily gave it importance over other rocks.

 Another point was some fruits that grew underwater, they were not very tasty, but they were edible and there were quite a few hidden among the corals, it seemed that they had a symbiotic relationship, something to consider if we can replant them in our home, everything edible is good and if we can make a plantation means that our time wasted in hunting simple fish that with more than 30 kills have not given us even one point of experience, it is clear that LAZ calls for us to kill beasts, but at this time it is simply impossible.

 Our search continued for hours, having various miscellaneous resources, from seeds, to some materials, it was already the third trip between the base and the outside, but in this case something happened.

 The exploration team came running, they had something to report, something very important.

They had found lights on the beach, a pair of hours away.
