Master Of None

Chapter 864: 864. Serious Talks

”That is is correct. To you and your people, this is very valuable and hard to obtain golem core. To my villageʼs dragonkin, it is a young warriorʼs trial. I have this and many other things like it. You can have this and you can pay me back when you get to the main dragon village in the future.

It seems that your family may sell their soul for it before you speak again though.” Adair was interested in the wandering blacksmithsʼ excitement. She had some dragonkin forge masters in the village but they did not make many things.

”You are right. I have no reason to refuse and you have already done a great deal for us. Do you think I could ask more?” Walker was already thinking of the commitments he had. There were those that they would guide to the Genesis city and the things that could be done here. There was so much that Walker and the party could learn.

He even had the feeling that if he tried to bring the wandering blacksmith home he would get caught in a fight.

”It depends on what you ask. I am not here to give away the village to a royal that just came to be. I do pledge loyalty to another.” Adair was not saying anything that Walker shouldnʼt know by now. But she did worry that her position could prove to be detrimental to the royal ancient water dragon she had pledged herself to.

”I hope it is not anything that would jeopardize you or the village.” Walker was also worried that asking for more would hurt those that were currently apologizing and giving him a great deal of knowledge to avoid an unhappy fate. ”I was hoping we could stay here for three or four days. Then if possible have assistance in returning home?

If I were to leave now I feel that I would be failing Midnight who has never had anyone to teach her about her own species. Everywhere we have gone I had to see the difference in how people look at her and now she is somewhere that she is normal and we are strange. It just feels right to take some time before our next commitments to learn things properly.”

The sharp toothed grin from Adair showed that even her teeth stayed similar when she shifted to her dragonkin form. ”I believe that is a very wise answer. She deserves everything we can offer. But we will not disclose certain information unless absolutely necessary. Your guardian will also be able to train with other dragonkin warriors. She will one day have more dragon blood than human after all.

I also believe there is a forge that was left empty while a group of smiths went to gather materials in the lava plains.”

Adair knew she was being a little sneaky to play to the entire groupʼs wants and needs. However, she also knew that she was at a complete loss when it came to Gil and Remey since she had not heard them speak much. There was also Onyx who was coiled up and watching carefully. From what she could gather he was more interested in knowledge than other things.

”My small village has plenty of other amenities for you to explore. It is exceedingly rare for a visitor so there may be some commotion. Iʼm sure you may want to tour some of the mountain paths we had carved or the gardens we have at the summit.”

”You have gardens at the summit? Are there herbs? Ahh, what am I asking? There have to be herbs. The growth at this altitude it is insanely hard for plants to grow and even basic grasses here have additional properties after evolving to survive. Walker, Iʼll need to go and check it out so I can bribe someone for seeds.” Remey was feeling like she had found a chest of gold.

Her smile mimicked the wandering blacksmithsʼ from earlier.

”Hmm, Zephyr would most likely like to go for a fly around the higher paths. I can also try my luck to hunt some of the flying spiders. They are what the new bowstring is made of after modifying and improving the bow.” Gil was interested in having extra for a secondary bow or a replacement string. He wasnʼt going to pretend the string would last forever.

”Come here and escort the village guests.” Adair raised her voice slightly and four different dragonkin came in to the cave as if they had been waiting there the entire time.

Gil and Remey followed one of them who greeted them very politely. ”Brother, I will go explore the gardens with Remey. I would like to relax in the light.” With a nod from Walker, Onyx was gone with Remey.

”Is there anywhere you wish to see? The warriors are no longer training today but you can use the space as you wish.” This was enough to tempt Su. she needed to understand her system and her skills better. The fact that she had the book that explained the relationship between a guardian and the champion was even more useful.

It outlined a great many skills that she had not ever heard of or did not even consider. She followed the dragonkin out of the carved cave leaving just Walker and Midnight with Adair.

”You two are the last left. It will be a little easier to speak here without any that are ranked lower here. You will come to understand the great stress on hierarchy in the dragon culture. It is similar to humans and kings so I believe you will understand. But it is very strongly tied to pride and loyalty.

It will be a very large lesson since you, as a human, break those standards.” Adair waved to the fourth dragonkin and a chair was brought over for her.
