"Great Ghost World has agreed to provide us with all the technical assistance we need."
In the Council Hall, Richard calmly announced the results of the negotiations with Great Ghost World.
"Alchemy, have your people exchange ideas with those craftsmen more often. Their technology is formidable, and they have an exceptionally good technique in hand. If we can make use of it, then our World Fortresses... perhaps we can consider mass-producing them."
"...What did you say?"
