Valeron Palace, Throne Room on the upper floors, at the same time.

After Marth led Lith and his family to the Royals, the Magus was surprised to hear the King speak of the destruction of the lost city of Thaymos in the same terms as Solus.

"I know that it's not by your hand that the Eternal Fortress met its hand. At least not directly.

"Yet if not for your presence, Lady Tyris wouldn't have intervened and the expedition would have failed. With one monster tide and one lost city less to deal with, we'll be able to gather resources faster than we planned.

"Soon we'll have the means to spread the Tablets to the whole Kingdom and build the first non-military Trains. For this, you have our gratitude and we would like to reward you as you deserve."

"Thank you, your Majesty." Lith gave the Royals a bow. "There's nothing I need at the moment, but if something comes to mind, I'll let you know."

"Take your time. There is no rush." The Queen smiled to him.

She had received reports about the performance of the Wayfinder and the weaponized DoLoreans. Thanks to them, the military power of the Kingdom would finally surpass that of the Empire and the Desert, making their borders safe for the first time in centuries.

"Before sending you back to your family, I have a simple task that I want to entrust you." At a snap of the Queen's fingers, a parchment appeared in her hands and she passed it to Lith.

"The Crown would like to start building civilian cars. The first batch would be just an experiment to see how people deal with the change. Mass production would come later, if at all."

Lith unrolled the parchment, discovering that it contained a series of drawings about possible alternative designs for the DoLorean and their suggested specs. The Royals wanted him to limit the altitude a civilian car could reach to a few meters tops.

This way, a driver could still dodge obstacles both vertically and horizontally but they couldn't pass above the city walls and avoid checks nor escape detection while crossing the borders with other countries.

The Royals also wanted him to limit the max speed of a DoLorean to the third notch of the lever. Much to Lith's surprise, the list of changes didn't include the removal of any of the safety measures except for the Home Stone synchronization.

Regular people couldn't afford such precious artifacts anyway and there was no point in giving access to the rich and powerful to a way to escape from the scene of an accident.

There were also two designs that caught Lith's attention. One was for nobles, giving the DoLorean the slender form of a muscle car, and another for merchants that looked like a truck with lots of space to carry merch.

Both models would have the same specs, it was just a matter of appearance and, of course, price.

<i>'For a moment I was afraid they were going to give me blueprints for the new DoLorean. After all, they had all the time to study the ones I provided them and the schematics of the Train.' Lith thought.

The group gave the Royals a bow before turning around and being accompanied by the Royal Guards to the Warp Gate in the waiting room. Normally the guests would be followed closely by the Guards to keep them from wandering the castle and ensuring the safety of the Crown. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}
