Master Of None

The new agreement was very quick. Walker had not sat and just let things be said that were not written. In a blink of an eye, he had shown the documents of other kingdoms, and more specifically, what the dragons had agreed to. This helped the two archangels understand the depth of why the agreements were in place.

However, it also showed what could be gained. The dragons had the promise that they would take over rulership if they were not shown skills that surpassed what they expected of the dragons brought to learn. yet, it seemed that there were already reasons that they were priding the actions of these hatchlings.

Especially since Ignus had spoken out. Walker had been surprised by this. A dragon alchemist was something that every single dragon wanted right now. Specifically, because they were unsure about the affinity potions and how they would get more and more of them.

Relying on Remey and the alchemy guild would surely make things harder. That was due to the fact that it would mean there had to be closer to Genesis at all times. There was also the mage tower though. The boosted mana gathering and ability to use that environment to understand mana was becoming very clear to them. If they did not use it then they would fall behind since those hatchlings in Genesis would eventually grow more knowledgeable than them.

These two combinations changed Ignus’s perspective. Whether he had shown it yet or not, had not been a matter to concern anyone with. Yet, now that Ignus had shown it, he had managed to surprise everyone. Especially since Ignus had been the most heated and opposed to the fact that walker wanted to take weaker dragons and make them stronger. He hadn’t believed it possible.

The more that the affinity potions had been shown to be important to the dragons, the more that Ignus had changed his views. But now that they faced a new continent with new threats, he was certain that it would be even more important for the dragons to become stinger. Adding in the fact that the dragons were far from their ancient strength, he had to return to a peak higher than he had ever even imagined. With that, he would need every dragon to make a difference.

”We have made many agreements and seen many things from you so far. Before you are to go, we will say it again.” The Rize archangel showed a slight smile, ”The Rize empire recognizes you as an ally at this moment in time. We will assist you in finding the path to your escaped criminal.”

”The Fel empire sees the potential you possess. We hope to learn from you further so that we may catch your escaped criminal. We also hope to see what other new knowledge you possess.” The Fel archangel seemed to want to learn more but had to let them go for the moment. If he pushed even more then the Rize empire would see that as Genesis gathering together with the Fel empire. It could start another fight which no one wanted at the moment.

The leaving arch angels left the soldiers to Walker and the others. While they had been speaking for hours, there had been a large camp constructed for them. The angels seemed to want to assist more but they had to also keep their distance to a degree. What Walker and the others had done though was push the food toward them. Inside the hall had been a substantial amount of food that the archangels had not touched much at all. But the soldiers were more than willing to eat it.

In doing so, the lower ranked angels had already decided that they didn’t dislike the Genesis representatives. They had also started raving about the unique flavors of spices from another continent. It was exactly what Walker and the others had hoped would come of their meetings to a degree. A path for trade to be opened even more widely than before.

Furthermore, the potions that had also been taken out when Remey had started on about alchemy and herbalists had been left to be seen. The archangels had not examined them much but the equal sets with explanations were in their care. However, that move had brought two herbalists from the Rize and the Fel empire to Remey. She had her own meetings to attend to now. Even Alma had left with her. The desire to find more herbs that may be lost from her forest and to return them was very strong.

This had also left Gil to move with her. He had to keep an eye on both Remey and Alma. Remey because of her potential hard headedness and Alma since he cared for her more than he would admit out in the open here. But that wasn’t an issue. Walker wanted everyone to split up and do these things the best that they could.

Furthermore, Alice had also attracted a lot of looks. She and Su had managed to gather a few of the healers that resided with both empires. Their attention was mostly on Alice because of her light affinity. Yet, that didn’t make any of them look away from Sty once they saw that she could use light affinity skills as well. That had surprised them. But the knowledge Su had about healing even though she was not a healer at all hit them again.

Development of medical and healing knowledge was always important to any race no matter what. Even if everything fell apart, healers would be the core of an army and nation to protect the people. That being said, the desire to learn more about healing and medical knowledge spurred the empire’s healers to ignore any distaste of values and pursue Genesis knowledge. It was a clear cut explanation of why the two empires were cooperating in front of Alice and Su at the moment.

Elise seemed to be different. She had taken interest in the sky eagles. They were a monster that had chosen to be with angels. It was reminding her of her sister, Stella. A monster that was now a clear race of their own but still had been close with her throughout life. Not only could she establish a tamer’s guild with these beliefs within the empires, but she understood that it would be a profound and beautiful relationship between tamers and monsters if there was a guild branch here.

Meanwhile, Walker had stepped in toa private tent with the royal dragons, Midnight, and Onyx. Onyx had stayed with Walker out of curiosity and to keep him protected. Midnight was the same, however, she wanted to hear what Walker said. She was building her own thoughts on matters revolving around the wyverns as well.

”The wyverns are trying to make their own race and separate themselves from the mixed blood that is within them. That is another reason for them getting more and more aggressive.” Walker dropped this like an explosion. Every royal dragon grimaces.

”They want to toss aside royal dragon blood so that they can be something else? How could they insult the dragon race as such.” Rise was the first to show her distaste for all of this. It was clear that she saw this as a direct attack on them completely.

”They are worse than that. They attack our lands and take our heritage. Disgusting things.” Terron showed his anger as well. This was nodded along with the other royals.

”Their attempts are condemning them. What would they be if they are driven mad by doing this?” Current raised this question which made it seem that it was better to stop them completely.

”Things are not right with the wyverns. But if they wish to separate themselves then so be it. Won’t that remove their actions from disgracing dragons? If they become wild monsters then so be it. If they become somewhat strong and intelligent then that is what dragons shaped them to be.” Mordant thought differently. He saw positives in both side that could make dragons even more powerful in a way.

”I support Mordant’s approach. Maybe we should guide these children and make them know what true power is. Do they not attack us because their blood sings when near us? They can learn why that is.” Ventura further supported this potential.

”I can’t speak to what history might say but I think finding the Queen that has intelligence would be the first step. Maybe they can be reasoned with. If they prefer to be monsters then there’s nothing we can do.” Walker knew that the wyverns, however crazed they might be, had a better potential than the desert undead. They were the real hidden problem. They could cause a lot more death than the wyverns could in a shorter time.
