Master Of None

Chapter 2748: 2748. Dumbstruck

”Yes this is who you have been waiting on. These are the rest of the hero party that helped your kingdom and also act as some of the core founding members of this city and this alliance. You are welcome.” Remeyʼs frustration was shining through clear as day. She had been here tolerating some of these older elves for the past hour while Gil headed to meet the others. Yet, it was clear that onyx was nowhere to be found making it feel like there was still time to wait.

”Remey, looks like you have been holding down the fort well. I heard about the hard work you did making potions and how you supervised water mages using them to cover the fields. Glad the pest was dealt with before it became a problem. A food shortage would have been the worst thing for development right now.”

The cheerful attitude that Walker showed Remey was very clear. It was saying that he held here as one of the most important people in the room. Next, he looked over toward the forest elf queen who was silently observing. Her hand held an herbal tea that he knew Remey had made as well which proved she was just watching to see what these older elves would do.

”I am glad that you made it here safely as well. The elves from your kingdom have been a brilliant help through Genesis. So many of them have managed to grow or change what is known about the elven people by the other races. Itʼs gone a long way to helping every single race bond together here.”

”Please do not be modest, there is something here that no other city or kingdom has. It attracts those with the desire to grow and prosper without being chained to negative emotions or old ideals. It is very impressive and part of what united my people as well.” The forest elf queen seemed to be speaking very formally, it appeared she was upholding a lot more due to the older elves here.

In some ways, it made a lot of sense why she would be more guarded. The forest elf queen could speak and understand the spirits of those who had passed away and given themselves to the forest. That was what every elder elf seemed to do. Meaning that even though the current elder elves who had passed were mostly understanding of the situation and changing times, there were those within the roots she communed with who would never hold Genesis or other races in high esteem. The same for the older elves here right now. Many of whom were glaring at Walker and the others.

Actually, Gil was getting the most hatred. Maybe to them it was like Gil had tried to steal away their culture and call it his own. He has been able to work hard enough towards understanding the elves and their ways to even recreate a lost technique that the high elves used. In that pursuit he has been able to unlock a legacy and gain a drop of high elven blood allowing the change of his very race. He was not born an elf but he lived higher than the elves of today and helped others reach that height.

”The people of Genesis work very hard. I have seen people who have nothing find paths to become so important to the growth of everyone living here that I canʼt imagine life without them.” As Gil chimed in, he motioned for a small group of elves, mostly young, but elves waiting for him.

Each was equipped with different rolls, battle gear, and even one dressed very lightly. They all appeared to have different purposes but seemed to be extremely confident. They held gazes with the elders in front of them and most even dared look the forest elf queen in the eye. A very new experience to be seen from younger elves like this.

”Hello your ,majesty, esteemed elders. I have been studying here in Genesis and begun the unique class called forest rune carving. I can utilize special runes and rune formations to assist in the development of plants, monster, and mana growth within a forest. It can allow me to shape the trees better and ensure their health and safety for longer terms. Some can even be used to create temporary weapons to defend the forest or temporary barriers as well.”

”Your majesty and esteemed elders. I have gained a class called dungeon scout. I began working with those scouting the new territories unknown after the world expansion. I have discovered several small dungeons and have gained a class specific for researching them and ensuring the safety of those exploring them in the future. I can even differentiate the dungeons that are more or less dangerous with basic scouting skills related to them.”

”Your majesty and esteemed elders. I have gained a new archery class called the dragon guard archer. I work closely with the royal wind dragon Ventus and she guided me to utilize my wind affinity in my archery. She allowed me to spend time with her children granting me the path of a new class. My archery utilizes wind in a draconic way. Brutal and precise. I can be called one of the best guards for any dragon or dragonkin when it comes to protecting their young.”

The three who had spoken out first had made sure that their confidence and pride were on full display. They hadnʼt simply carved new paths for the first elves, they had done so for the entire elf race.

”You chose to serve a dragon and their children instead of being loyal to your people?” One of the older elves was furious. His face contorted in to a disgusted scowl.

”Do not belittle those I care for! I am a pride for our race. I am the closest elf to the wind dragons and one of the most trusted individuals within Genesis with the ability to interact and guide young wind dragons. If you insult them or our people I will be forced to act as I see fit.” The response left the elder dumbstruck.

All the while the forest elf queen was beginning to show a grin on her face. This pure pride and respect for another race along with their own was new. It was a spark of something she had felt was missing. Something that she felt her roots were interested in because it spelled out a unique future with more driven young ones than what they had right now for the elf race, let alone just the forest elves.

”Donʼt worry, I am sure the elder did not believe you to be less or the races you brought together to be less. They have not left home and seen the changes in the world and Genesis just yet. You too believed that no one would rival you in archery before you came to Genesis. But if I recall you were beaten in an archery tournament by the harpy sky archer, right?”

”I will not let her beat me again.” The statement made Gil laugh, lightening the mood around them.

”I see that there is much for me to witness. If I am cooped up here waiting for some meeting I will be blind to the benefits my people have been part of creating. I will walk the streets. If the elders wish to see the future, they may join me. Gil, can you please ask Alma to join me? I wish to hear more about her bonds with the spirit trees and if she needs any assistance.” The forest elf queen ended any chance the elders had to respond. They looked like children sent to punishment, not the old beings with many years over any other.

”I can, I hope you wonʼt mind me tagging along while Walker and the others go to meet King Rorick. He is spending time in the coliseum enjoying the changes of guards and soldiers. I think he is even more excited than you are.” Gil was acting a little too polite but the forest elf queen was showing so much more emotion that Gil was fairly acting like this. He wanted to show off Genesis even more than before.

”It was nice seeing you. I hope you can explore to your heartʼs content.” Su gave a slight bow of respect and Midnight gave a small wave. Alice and Walker also gave nods of approval as the forest elf queen began moving with roots from underground helping her walk. She was not looking weak, on the contrary, she seemed more vibrant than the last time Walker had seen her.

All of the mana and growth in the area has done an immense job of helping her health and ensuring that the connection to the spirits of her ancestors was clear. It was natural that she would be able to exert herself even more while here in Genesis.
