Master Of None

There was no trouble in finding the wandering blacksmith. He was surrounded by multiple blacksmiths that were all trying to learn something from watching him make a simple knife. ”I don’t know why he takes so many normal orders. He could be making more of those spirit forged weapons. The elves even come by to ask him to help.” The conversations around were what Walker would expect. 

”That’s because he only makes what he finds interesting. Just because there are amazing things to make doesn’t mean they are what he wants to make. How many people have kitchen tools made to last a lifetime? Because that is what you are looking at. That knife can last through an entire chef system user’s life. Then it can be passed down to their apprentice.” Walker made sure to make his words loud enough for any to hear. 

”That’s what the runes are for! He is adding them to keep the knife clean as it works and prevents damage. Rodney had followed and was giving everyone an angry look. ”He is also the only one working. I would expect that all of you would be doing the same with the deadlines we have to make. But I guess all of you will fail the crafting competitions since you were not able to get your work done and ended up too tired.” It was impressive how fast everyone returned to work or left the room entirely. Rodney had really learned to throw his weight around. ”I will let you be. I have to chase down a few more people or the higher ups will lose themselves. It’s great to see you again Walker, Midnight!” 

”He really has gotten pretty impressive himself. He used to just work the front desk and now he is running around to all the people in charge. He might be more of a higher up than he knows.” Walker laughed a little while Midnight looked around at the materials strewn about the room. 

”He’s a good kid.” The wandering blacksmith seemed to really like the attitude that Rodney had. The knife was put down as the wandering blacksmith had just finished polishing it. He placed it in line with a fifteen piece set that was made for a chef that had arrived and opened up a restaurant that specialized in home grown foods from the demi-human fields. They would be catering to those who enjoyed the homegrown cuisine that wasn’t yet in Genesis. 

”I found you to make something a little different. And I’m sure you don’t want to hear this, but I was hoping that you could use the true spirit forging methods?” Walker saw the wandering blacksmith raise an eyebrow and focus. 

”So, I want to make elemental bracelets that spirits can dwell in. They will be gifts for the different elemental royal dragons so that they can find a spirit to partner with them and help them purify mana. They will be made with elemental affinities and should be tough to resist the strength of dragons. But they will need to be able to store mana as well. I know some of the runes had already been transcribed from the mage tower and hope that some of the specific elemental runes can be used. I also don’t mind if you want to use any and all the materials I have.” Walker was ready to drop his entire inventory then and there. 

Walker waited while the wandering blacksmith pondered this job. It was not very unique in the way of materials but what it lacked in materials it made up for in reason. He had never made things for dragons before and he could only think that they would be something that showed off the highest skills he had. It also allowed him to vary the spirits he would work for rather than just making a predetermined design. 

”You can add any designs or styles you feel represent the elemental specification. I’m fairly certain that if I even tried to make something artistic like that I would end up ruining the designs.” Walker was sure that the wandering blacksmith had skills of a much higher quality than him. This was also why the wandering blacksmith started to nod his head yes. He knew that he would have the creative freedom he wanted instead of having to make something in a specific style. These were his favorite kind of orders. 

”The boy can watch.” The wandering blacksmith pointed to Rodney who ran past the door. 

”I will let him know. This was the first that the wandering blacksmith had invited someone in specifically to watch. Walker knew it was something that Rodney had earned and that it would be a massive leap for his knowledge. Without any hesitation, Walker left any materials he had in his storage and headed out to get Rodney. Midnight did not hesitate to take a sharp breath and breathe out a golden flame in to the forge. She was ready to train every elemental breath attack she could in the forge today. 

With those goals met for the day, Walker then focused his eyes on the alchemy guild. He wanted to see the progress that had come to pass since Remey was so focused on it. He could already see the fields for herb growing making progress along with the new greenhouses. He was sure that Remey would appreciate the herbs and seeds that he had gotten from the overgrown alchemy lab in the water elf castle. 

When he gave them to her she might get distracted with a new potion idea or try to grow them immediately. But what he knew more so was that she would want to find out how they had managed to survive without care for so long. She would want to know all the secrets to them so that the herbalists could replicate the results.
