The obsidian Herad currently had on hand certainly totaled more than six hundred thousand tons.
However, he had no plans to increase the obsidian warship's tonnage just yet.
He intended to keep looking for obsidian, then upgrade the obsidian warship to the million-ton class in one go.
A million-ton starship was not actually all that impressive in terms of tonnage.
Many somewhat larger starships could easily reach that size.
But building one out of obsidian was another matter entirely!
Obsidian was not a particularly valuable magical material.
Yet once the quantity reached a certain point, its total value became staggering.
If he paid for all the materials, this enormous obsidian warship could bankrupt any race on Azeroth!
What Herad's shipbuilding plan still lacked was a thoroughly satisfying obsidian-gathering spree.
Having gone several days without sleep, Herad had rather dark circles under his eyes.
Fortunately, spellcasters were not actually so frail.
A mere few days without sleep would not leave him mentally sluggish, much less cause him to drop dead.
Still, it was important to stop for a good rest and plan his next moves while he was at it.
He sat down beside the cooling pool, whose temperature had already fallen considerably.
Watching the steam geysers erupt from time to time ahead of him, he casually drew over a stream of spring water and formed a lifelike map of Kalimdor.
On this map of Kalimdor made from a curtain of water, the Silithus Desert and Un'Goro Crater in the far south had already darkened.
The Tanaris Desert, east of Un'Goro Crater, was an undeveloped area with considerable potential.
However, Herad suspected it would not measure up to Un'Goro Crater.
He estimated that it would, at most, be about on par with the Silithus Desert.
He had reliable information to support
