Master Of None

Chapter 1080: 1080. Barryʼs Insights

Walker knew that Su and Alma were still not going to be up and moving. He also remembered how exhausted Scylla had appeared when he saw her. This made him feel a little pathetic hobbling along, but he had also used a lot of mana all at once. Barry needed to help him get back to the Genesis building.

What was the most surprising was that there were already dwarven craftsmen run ing about to fix things. It was as if someone had lit a fire under them to get things fixed. Yet, when Walker overheard one of them mumbling under his breath, he was sure he heard them curing out the Greed for ruining their hard work and that they would be building it ten times better.

It was a wonder that the dwarves had never worked themselves to death before.

”Ha! Look at that window. Shattered it pretty good but you saved the kings so I would say you did well. Donʼt worry, they are in their rooms and understandably annoyed. But they will be better off in a few hours.” Barry found it pretty hysterical that the kings had been angry and that Walker had managed to shatter the window.

The dwarves were not so happy, they were trying to set up the window so that they could carve some earth runes in it and keep it reinforced.

”This should be a good spot to sit. I wonder where he got those gems and gold. I know he never made it in to the vaults because there is a special trap there that only a few know how to disarm. Plus, he had to have taken them as he moved through the city. I will talk to the guards and have people report anything missing.

Ideally, we will be able to return it all.” Barry was poking at the throne that Greed had made and shook his head.

”You never know what someone might do when they lose their mind. His greed drove him to take on that title and become something else. I donʼt know how old he really was but he was even greedier than those mad dragons that horde treasures.” Walker had grown up with stories of mad dragons that gathered jewels and mass amounts of gold to create a nest.

”Trust me, if you saw the horde a mad dragon had then you would look at Greed like he was a child. I have seen two in my life and I left them alone. Those are things for the real dragons to handle.” This was another surprise that Walker was getting about Barryʼs past. He didnʼt know about how much Barry had done in his life but this was something that seemed to be burned in to Barryʼs mind.

”Sir hero! We have found that the demon Greed has not brought any soldiers or other demons with him in to the city. I will return to the patrol now!” One guard rushed in to the room to give his report and ran away as soon as he saw Berryʼs glare.

”Thatʼs good news. But I figured Greed came alone. I canʼt imagine that Greed would ever share with anyone. Even if he had an army he would have just used them for fuel to get stronger. I wonder why he was not strong in the demon lands. Something about the demon lord stopping him and controlling him.

I wonder.” Walker trailed off in thought. He remembered that Greed had also cursed out the demon lord.

”If it was me I would send that Greed ahead of any army I have, best case, Greed ruins the enemy. Worst case, Greed fails and an annoying soldier is lost. Itʼs not like a soldier like Greed could have stood on a battlefield with others. He would have taken the enemy and the alliesʼ strength.” Barry followed Walkerʼs lead and called Greed a he instead of thinking of Greed like a beast.

It was something that he caught on to since Walker thought he might one day save Greed from his own title.

”I hate to agree with you…but you are right. Greed was a throw away soldier to cause us damage and keep us focused. I worry that it is so that slime breeder can do more.” Walker could only think of the time a slime breeder would need to make more slimes that could defeat an army.

”Agreeing is not what I want right now. That slime breeder has caused the most trouble for multiple kingdoms. I canʼt imagine what would happen if they bring an army of lord slimes, acid, and rot.” Barry had managed to face some of the purple slimes that were in the forest. He had not seen the yellow acid slime but he had been given enough reports to know of the danger that came with them.

”I will see if Remey can prepare potions to resist both. If those forms of lord slimes attack then we will be ready. What worries me more is what will happen if he has another breed of slimes. I think we should ask around and see what slimes might exist that could be used for war or deceit.” This was a good idea and Walker knew it could mean the defeat of the slime breeder.

”I will go and do that now. Just sit here until I gather the other leaders in a few hours.” Barry left Walker with his thoughts. Soon after Barry had left though, Walker had fallen asleep in his chair. It was the only thing left since he was feeling Midnight, Onyx, and Fleursʼ tiredness.

”Your orders stand as that. Go to every representative and tell them a mandatory meeting is happening in two hours. Bring attendants with them as well.” Barry handed down the orders to waiting guards. He then turned to the adventurersʼ guild to point them in the right direction.
