Master Of None

Chapter 1036: 1036. Leaving Trident

”Iʼm telling you. I have so many different herb seeds and ingredients that I could create our own underwater farm.” This was how excited Remey was when she had presented all the herbs she had picked to Walker. She had woken up well before everyone else and joined a few of the more welcoming merfolk to patrol.

The merfolk had been hard at work alongside the dwarven golems. Every single able bodied merfolk was helping. Even children were swimming about moving rubble and sending letters for material requests. The merfolk were recovering much faster than expected and the mages they had were already moving around to try and use their water elemental magic to heal the living coral.

”Yes, thatʼs great. But how will you grow them? Donʼt they need salt water and a lot of care?” Gil had woken up and saw off Alma with the enforcers. They had taken some time since the enforcers now trusted Gil to the very depths of their being. Even Alma had been surprised when they knelt to him and thanked him for his unmatched defense effort during the battle.

”I already invited three merfolk herbalists. They said that they were planning to come to Genesis since they had lost their apothecary shop. Since they didnʼt do much business here before, they donʼt see the point in rebuilding and just going along the same path as before.” Remey was pretty smug, to say the least.

”Well, that sounds very good for the alchemy guild. I hope they work out well.” Su was sitting with Midnight and enjoying the rest of their breakfast. She had slept the longest out of all of the party showing that she had been hiding her exhaustion.

”They are staying here.” Alice had finished meeting with the battle healers that had come with her. They had decided to stay with the merchant guards and remain with the merfolk to help the injured. It was hard for Alice not to stay as well but she knew well that her duty was to the new cathedral in Genesis. The battle healers needed a proper home to come back to after they had done their part.

”I think we should head out soon then. I will try and talk to Scylla quickly before we head out. I have the map that Leon sent along to us. Itʼs going to be a tough swim back.” The smaller group would mean that it was harder for everyone to get back. The party would not be able to easily break through any currents and fight off any curious monsters still around after the kraken spawn came through.

”Who says you will be leaving alone? Y forces will be taking another sweep through the river back home. That means you are all coming with me. Thereʼs no arguing about this since you were able to hold to my favor.” Scylla had come up behind Walker with the entire demi-human forced behind her. They were all standing and floating at the ready.

Just because they had already cleared an area did not mean they would relax and expect no issues.

”My forces will also be helping to set up a lake for the merfolk to have easy trade access. Along with my people as well.” Scylla had a lot of weight due to her being a general for the demi-human kingdom. This meant that she was not just throwing around some idle words. This would happen and be a major contribution to Genesis.

”That would be a very good thing for trade and for travel.” Walker knew it would make things more than easy for the aquatic trait demi-humans along with the merfolk. Scylla was not doing something small by any means.

”Itʼs the least I can do after fighting beside these people. I would not mind seeing them again. Though they attempted to tame us, They still fed and cared for us.” The leviathan that she had bonded with swam from her sleeve and slowly grew in size above them. ”Now let me repay you ever so slightly.

Once I fully understand who I am now that I am whole, I will show you all something amazing.” For some reason, Walker and everyone else felt slight fear about this.

”How surprised will They be when we beat them back. This is great!” Gil was happier than anyone else. He would be able to surprise Alma by being back at the city before her and the enforcers had returned.

”Thank you very much. A ride to the river is more than we had expected.” Su was all too polite which made Scylla stand awkwardly. She had still not gotten used to the polite way that Su spoke but still liked it regardless.

”That means I can set up my herbs faster and preserve them better.” Scylla, you are going to make a great impact on my herb farming.” Since Remey was so energetic, Scylla brightened up even more and copied Remeyʼs actions. The two were bouncing off the sand with fighting energy before Walker could take them down.

Midnight let out a soft growl which Walker understood without Onyx having to translate. ”You canʼt swim faster than a leviathan. They literally are born in the water and are built to swim in it. They can even swim through the air sometimes.” The response was a louder growl. ”Yes yes, you will be able to fly through the air one day. I know.” Walker gave her a hard look and Midnight finally backed down.

But that wasnʼt before she got him to offer up a piece of horned rabbit jerky.

Alice took a spot on the leviathans back right next to Scylla. There was some hushed whispering and Walker watched as Alice sang softly to help heal Scyllaʼs arm more. It had not perfectly healed yet but it was close. Just another two or three days and it would be back to the perfect state it had been before.

”Now, letʼs check that river one more time,” Scylla ordered everyone to move and the merfolk city was soon disappearing in the blue of the ocean.
