Chapter 117: Start of the Road
"Alright, start the heating," Aric said, looking at the glass furnace that they had built. He stood there with Treshan, Ron, Pentharis, and Quadoris. It had taken them a while, but they finally finished the furnace.
Treshan nodded and walked behind to the point where he would start heating from. He stretched out his eyes and began pouring the flames.
He watched closely, wanting to make sure that everything would go well, and there would be no leaks or breaking.
"Is this really how glass is made?" Pentharis asked.
"Yeah, it’s this way, but that aside, do you know glass?" Aric asked.
"I’ve seen it once, a brittle transparent material. A human merchant passed through the forest once and they had it, back when I was a lesser spirit.
I thought it was some magical creation, I didn’t think it would be made this way," he said.
"I see. Well, I don’t know how they make it in other places, but this is the best way to do it," Aric said. He walked over to the furnace and looked over at them.
"I’m going to infuse Mana now as your glass takes shape." The furnace was not like any one from Earth; it was different because of the methods that were used here.
He placed his hand on what looked like a magical circle at the side of the furnace. The blueprint said that it was a conduit to transfer his Mana evenly over the glass. He didn’t know how it worked, so he simply did what the instructions said he should.
He began slowly infusing the Mana into the furnace, and it started mixing with the liquid glass and pulling everything together.
After a few minutes of standing there and working carefully, the first sheet of one-inch thick glass was created. Ron and Quadoris carefully set it out, and after it was fully dry, they all came to observe it.
