Master Of None

The others saw many of the Rize empire soldiers come to speak with their archangel. It was very clear that they were going to be sending information to change methods and update battle strategies. But most interesting was an older angel that came.

The man was wearing a robe with white patterns instead of armor meaning that he was not a soldier. ”You’re an herbalist right?” Remey spoke up and approached them while they spoke. The Rize archangel looked at her a little displeased.

”I am an herbalist. I have many years advising many archangels on what is and is not needed in the wilderness. Not of all, I am the herbalist responsible for the return of the charred mountain recovery effort.” This should have sounded amazing, unfortunately, Remey had no idea what the charred mountain was and what had happened.

”Well, I am an Alchemical brawler. I have founded the alchemy guild back home with two other master alchemists. I have documented some herbs from your continent but lacked someone knowledgeable. You should share notes with me. If any anyone has an issue with you you can let them known that I will crack my fist on their heads.” Remey left it at this but also left the Rize archangel with a stern look.

”Remey? Did you really have to add that last part? And did you really need to interrupt them?” Su was sure that Remey had just made herself look very poor in the eyes of the Rize archangel.

”How else was I going to speak with an herbalist from here? He is about to send him off so I had to make sure he would be coming back. If I asked the archangel he would have forced us to agree to something else. You know that.” Remey made her point and from the glance that the Rize archangel gave, it was absolutely true.

”Then why not speak to one of our herbalists? We have a few individuals that experiment with unique potions and unique herbs that grow in areas touched by unique mana. We do not hold our knowledge hostage from others. You are free to visit the small libraries we have throughout our Fel empire.” The Fel archangel spoke making the Rize archangel fairly aggravated.

”Unfortunately, the quality of those cooks could be poor at best. They spread them out and allow any and all to touch them. Their quality is lowered and the knowledge will be lost since it is not preserved to the highest degree.”

As the two began a debate right in front of them. Walker understood another flaw that these two empires had. One shared knowledge without a system that properly preserved knowledge at the same time. The other preserved without properly distributing it. It all stemmed from their ideals of a closed elemental cycle and an open cycle that had ulterior manas hidden away.

”I believe it would be better if you did both. Copy the preserved library and send copies to all those across your lands. Use their method and yours. Instead of hiding certain pieces of knowledge from, everyone in a maze of a library as your ancestry did, it would be better that you just shared it all. Anything dangerous could be specially hidden but that would need to be approved by everyone equally.”

”Why are you trying to help them already? If you tell them this they might have to change their names from two empires to one and we’ll have to change our maps.” Gil teased Walker but it lightened the mood even more since the two archangels listened to Walker a bit. However, they had shown sour faces when he had said what they should do logically. Their stubbornness was very clearly on display for them to see today.

”He just wants them to work together. They should heal their injuries instead of letting them become infected.” This was the first that Alice had said for some time. However, instead of wearing the bracelet that Walker had given her, she had taken it off and let the light become influenced by her voice again.

This change in the light drew the attention of every angel since they had not seen such things in a long time. ”You are blessed by the light? The light elemental mana beckons to you in every single word. You should come to the Rize continent hall of light to visit with our highest ranked light mages. They will welcome you even though you are not of our race.” The change in attitude from the Rize empire was shocking. It was clear that he was seeing Alice as very valuable now.

”Not unless you and your empires vow to heal instead of harm.” Alice remained stubborn prompting the royal dragons to somewhat huff. They were very proud that everyone was not bending to the angels.

”Oh, a child of light that doesn’t just give in. How do you think that works? Is it the fact you hide them away and make them stuffy book after book for fifty years before they are allowed to go anywhere? Or is it because they are treated like they are royalty unless in the face of a powerful angel? If you learned from us you might have angels that took pride in being lowborn and rising higher.” There was another clear cut explanation of differences between the empires when the Fel archangel mocked this situation.

And you let talents run around without any protection. By the time they have power they are battle hardened soldiers instead of scholars. That is why you have such a low population. You may have the random few that are strong but the rest are lost to death.” The Rize archangel retaliated. This debate seemed to also have happened many times before.

”I see that you both have educational standards that are different as well. We have similar mixes as well. The demi-humans send soldiers to the arena to fight and train. They become injured or harmed. Byt the elves keep theirs in the forest or their homes from the world. Humans have guilds that allow exploration or other things that spread them out to get experience but also keep the young in academies or other apprenticeships.”

”Of course there are some dragons that send their young in to the world to fight and grow. Or the merfolk that remain to teach within their city. It is all different based on what works the best. However, inGenesis, we will be doing a mix of all of these. Learn inside and out of the city. Learn from other races. You are both welcome to select children from your empires to come and learn in genesis. We can do the same with some lucky children as well to come learn here. Wouldn’t that help us share values and learn from one another?”

The sudden interjection made both archangels’ jaws drop. They had never sent young angels to their enemies to learn. That was tantamount to sending them to death. Yet, Genesis had just offered this as if it was a common and easy thing?

”Some hatchlings are currently learning in Genesis city instead of being in the villages. They were weak and could not normally live in our villages to our standards. Now they have changed their fate and learned things that dragons would not normally learn. Ignus has one hatchling that has become an alchemist. How odd, isn’t it?” Terron spoke for the first time in a while. But he hit the nail on the head. His words were heavy and were driving the point home perfectly.

”Even those of higher status have done so?” The Fel archangel wasn’t sure if he could believe this. But he had seen many things in his life from unique experiments that he wouldn’t have believed until he saw them. ”Then I will accept this. I will send five angels to learn from you for a series of months. That would be the least I could do with my power here.” The Fel archangel didn’t want to lose the chance to learn even more.

”The Rize empire does not fear losing the young. We will expand our elemental knowledge by seeing your continent. We will send appropriate guardians as well. I am certain that you would allow that.” The Rize archangel was telling not asking but that was fine.

”Of course. We have a few adults that would want to come here to explore as well. We actually hope to alter travel as well. if the Fel empire can fix issues with spatial teleportation or travel, we might be able to bring people and items in the future. It would be beneficial.” The Rize archangel frowned but understood why Walker would be interested in this. It could bring them closer together than before. However, it had shocking battle potential if it actually happened.
