Master Of None

Chapter 958: 958. Kroll Speaks

The familiar faces of Rorick and Scylla standing together were serious and staring. As demi-humans, they had a much better understanding of the pressure that the dragons gave off. Their instincts told them that they would need to flee if they were in battle. But they had control of themselves and remained still.

Those next to them, however, were not as familiar. There was a harpy with bright red feathers and green feathers on her head. It made a somewhat crown pattern making Walker connect the dots. This was the harpy queen that had gathered other harpies to come together and attempt to become a sentient race.

Krol and Ventus were nearby with the forest elf queen and Alma. Bree was not needed at this meeting and most likely working with merchants. It was a surprise to see Kroll and Ventus but it was clear that they were dressed for their best ad had grown even more mature since the last time they had seen Walker.

The king was watching the dragons and using a lot of his energy not to ask Walker what was going on. He had not been told that dragons would attend. He had looked past the dragon that dropped them in the castle grounds since the party had sent a letter explaining things. But this was more than he could fathom.

The most surprised were the three dwarf kings. They had met dragons before in their lives to assist in crafting things that the dragons and dragonkin could not. But seeing them join an even that might not have a reward for them was astonishing. From what they knew the dragons would only leave their villages if absolutely necessary.

Lastly, the merfolk were the calmest. They had seen the dragons coming to land before they left. This gave them preparation to accept their presence. Leon may have only brought one of his group with him but it was enough for him to feel safer and not step out of line to push things along. He had an important job to do for his people.

After showing Ciel and Current to a chair at the round table, Walker stood where he was to be seated. Gil, Su, Midnight, and Remey stood behind him. Onyx was still in his tattoo form but had started to shift and pay attention.

”Welcome. I daresay this is the most members of any race that has ever been together in this generation. You are currently sitting in the center of Genesis city. This is where every law will be finalized. Every dispute will be recognized. Every race will have an equal say.

I do not know how many will one day sit at this table, but today, I hope that I can invite those of you who have not yet joined, to come together and become part of the Genesis alliance.” The opening was short and sweet but made an impact on everyone.

The king stood up, ”I was surprised to see the additional faces that have honored our city. My human kingdom, the forest elves, and the demi-human kingdom have joined ourselves together to build this city. We have a dream inspired by the heroes that every race will live together and no longer be divided. To that ends, the heroes left to help all of us and offer invitations to join us here.

The dwarves had already handed me a written letter requesting a permanent seat at this table. I have no reason to deny it. They had offered manpower to build the very foundations we stand on. But it is not solely my decision. The three acting representatives must vote.”

The king opened with this because it would show the equality that the three kingdoms had in the decision. ”On behalf of the forest elves, I would like to welcome them to the alliance. I hope that we can put the past aside and learn from each other. I see a new future neither of us imagined coming to form.” Alma had a wide smile as the queen spoke these words.

She had properly described the true spirit forging techniques and how they did not harm spirits.

”My people would never say no to a dwarf. You make good weapons and can battle in to the dawn. Welcome to the alliance.” King Rorick could see the value the dwarves brought and did not see any fault with denying them.

”Then that is the final decision. The three have now become four.” The magic contract was brought out to the dwarf kings for them to read when the time came.

”I would like to take a moment to allow a representative to speak. They have something that will change their future.” The forest elf queen spoke up and Kroll immediately came forward and stood at the table. Ventus was large but managed to crawl forward to stand behind them.

”Thank you to the heroes my brothers have found new paths. Thank you to the adventurersʼ guild my family has a home. Thank you to the elves my intelligence has grown. I am here today as the title holder, patriarch of the goblins and Ventus is here as ruler of grey haired spiders to request recognition from the Genesis city council.

We wish to join you as an equal race.” The speech that Kroll had was much more eloquent now than before.

Rorick looked at them with some shock and awe. This was exactly what he had hoped would come to be with the harpy queen. Current was also glaring daggers at what he thought of as weak low life monsters. This was the first time he had seen such actions and he was unsure of how to speak to them.

”Well, I donʼt see cave goblins anymore. So I would say you should join us. Maybe I will get more miners.” The king of the deep caves spoke up and soon followed the other official members of the Genesis alliance.

”Just mark these contracts and you will be recognized as a race by this alliance. Even if you are not yet by the world.” Clara spoke and placed contracts before the two. Everyone watched with bated breath.
