Another day brings with it several hundred pages worth of progress. Which doesn't really mean all that much to be completely honest. A page could be as small as the palm of my hand or as big as my torso, or at least that is the range I have seen. I'm sure there are pieces of paper or other writing surfaces that are significantly bigger than anything I've seen.
Regardless we are making about as much progress as I had expected.
Par returned from the front lines today, his soldiers earned some time off as well as some time to do some recruiting. I took the time to tell him about what I might be able to do with the assistance of the dungeon, he was more than a little excited. After discussing it for a while he decided to wait a while on using a dungeon to invade the inner reaches of the enemy's land. He doesn't have the manpower to make it worth the effort quite yet, but it is definitely something we need to take advantage of.
Beyond that, we also talked about other things, like the war effort and my recent projects. He seemed interested in getting ahold of a couple copies of my books to use to educate the soldiers. Though he seemed most interested in one about Solar Energy, which I have not yet created. He went as far as saying that he will wait for a Solar Energy book to be created and distributed amongst the soldiers before setting out again, and outright saying that anything Emericus might want in exchange for assisting in the creation of something like this should be given if at all possible. I mean, I get why, Solar Energy can go a long way towards improving the body, but he was a bit overzealous about it.

I wasn't expecting him to set a copy of each book on a table and demand that every single soldier come and get a copy of one of them to study, asking some of his underlings to copy the books for every soldier and having them distribute the books amongst each other. It was impressive how quickly everyone ended up with one of them, with a pretty big bias towards plant manipulation and healing. Although I did see several copies of the other ones as well. I expected more people to be interested in alchemy, but I guess not. While the necromancers were almost universally interested in the soul book.
I had fun hanging out with him today.
Anyway, Good Night Diary.
