627. Inspiration

"The best place for inspiration was the ocean side. Do you know how many weird shaped monsters live on the beach or in the water? They are completely different from those underground or the surface. The mountains can't compare either." Grey was feeling the memories flow as he spoke. 

The apprentice realized that grey was caught up in his memories and began to carefully work on the small details again. This was unnoticed by Grey who continued on with his inspirations, "The ocean was amazon. It was terrifying since it never looked to end but after I developed some basic pressure gear with elemental mana crystals I was able to sink to the bottom and explore. We use similar suits to mine underwater ore veins." 

"I was wondering how you would deal with flooded caves. I bet there are a bunch of ores that only show up in underwater caves." Gil thought this was pretty cool since he had never thought it possible to go underwater and be able to explore.
