'"Ririon would like to give his people purpose by connecting our forge to his kingdom through a train system. This system will be large enough to relieve the food issues his kingdom will face."' A underground train system? Certainly not impossible considering that the Metropolitan Railway was running steam trains through their tunnel from 1863, albeit over much shorter distances. I forget if 'I Discovered How to Cultivate a Farmer in 52 Easy Steps' mentions anything about exhaust gases and embers with the steam lorry, although in a world with magical items and chemistry some form of scrubber is an easy solution.

2026-02-19 01:29:34 +0000 UTCThe actual quote is "easier" to ask forgiveness rather than permission. "Better" would imply hiding something from someone is better than being up front and honest. Easier just means it is less of an inconvenience.

2026-02-19 01:26:23 +0000 UTCThere is an erroneous “k” before the word “new” in the following: Each knew chief is as twisted as he is, trading their clan's loyalty for personal power.

2026-02-19 00:26:49 +0000 UTCI just noticed that arnold because of his world having a more limited life span. Truly does view time differently. Even humans of this world have a longer life span and chances to extend it vastly. So everyone sees this young man's sprinting from one massive lucrative project to the next. Like hes only got minutes to live. So its funny that to everyone else three to four decades seems like no time at all. While arnold sees it as a gift that can if not easily, then probably give him the time to un screw the situation.

2026-02-19 00:07:40 +0000 UTCFor the curious, per Chapter 12, Arnold's version of One Shot converts each point of stamina to 10 piercing damage, and each point to 10 magic damage. So Durg'Un if anything is underestimating him at only guessing >5x stronger.
