Master Of None

Chapter 1228 – 1228. Awe

Part of Walker felt bad that the meeting had ended so fast. However, he saw that there was a lot to do and it was understandable that they leave to begin preparations. Scylla and Alma left together. They had to formulate plans to begin putting in the aerial defenses through fields, the city, and even the outer patrolled lands. If a wyvern was to arrive before they had prepared then it would be on them for not moving fast enough. They needed to be proactive. 

The king of the deep caves was surprisingly speaking to Markus Raven. The idea about the merchant groups becoming a merchant association that was equal to the guilds was a very big deal. As much as the king of the deep caves was more of a miner and not a king that dealt with other races, he had a responsibility. He could get his people in touch with those forming this group and make better progress. 

There were no other races that cared about quality more than the dwarves. They took spectacular pride within their creations. That was one reason for the golems being used to do so much. It was why they became known as the race that produced the best and most crafted items. It was why some would relate them to the tales of dragons. A dragon's pride and a dwarven pride were very close. 

What do you two want to do now?" Walker didn't want to assume that Su and Midnight didn't have plans for what they wanted to do. He knew that he had their own desires but felt that it would be better to stick with them.

"I was thinking of going to the cathedral. I know that Alice and Onyx went there and it would be interesting to see what they were able to achieve from their training." Su also felt that she could improve the light shield since she was not very adept in using it still. Not to mention, if Walker was going to head there she could work on her control of other elemental manas. The sooner she reached understanding in all elemental mana the sooner she could focus on sensing and using them to create defensive skills that would help her protect all that was dear to her. 

Midnight wanted to see Onyx as well. However, she wanted to see how the heavenly serpent was developing. The fact that they might have another family member was very exciting. She believed that even though Alice would be raising the heavenly serpent, that it would look to Onyx like a brother. That made it a sibling to Midnight as well. She couldn't resist the fact that she would be an older sister to another baing. It just built on the experience she would have to help the dragon hatchlings when they came as well. She wanted to be the best example possible. There was also the potential for battle. She wanted to see the skills that Onyx grew while she was away. She had the imagination to create brilliant fantasies about the darkness and light elemental mana he would use. 

"Then the cathedral it is." Walker didn't hesitate. He wanted to see this arrow rain song that Alice used. He thought that he might get inspiration and be able to better train his dance of seasons. The sooner he was able to make it muscle memory, the better. There was no telling when he would need to use such a skill at short notice. Especially since they would be going to investigate a ravine thought to have more abyssal serpents that most likely had never seen a human or any other monster. 

"I will walk with you then. I have to pass by there to place a few orders myself." Leon already had a list of places to stop to drop off orders for the homes being created for the other merfolk moving to genesis. They needed to have water diverted so that the home would be properly set up. The merfolk would risk their skin drying out if not nearby water. That was why the river being cleared of dangerous monsters like the kraken spawn was so important for them. They could be much safer and patrol the river. "So tell me, how large were the other dragons? I can only compare them to the one that came to help my people. I can't imagine any being larger." Leon was almost like a child. He was so excited. 

"Current is probably on the smaller end to be honest. I didn't get the chance to see what they all looked like in their dragon forms since they met to speak in their dragonkin forms. But from the way they looked, I would say that the fire and earth elemental royals looked to be the largest. It makes sense because of their elemental affinities. Moving through the water if you are too bulky it would be tough. The earth and fire have to survive in tough rocky and even lava filled areas." Walker had figured this much out between the books and what he had seen. It was the same with any race or monster. 

"Ah, so they will lose speed for power. Too bad. I believed that the water affinity would be the best. Maybe they are the most elegant though. The fine control needed for this powerful strike I was told about by those that watched can't be replicated." 

"You would be surprised. The light and wind dragons are more free flowing. Well, the wind for certain." Walker wasn't sure what Rise was actually like. The light elemental mana seemed sharp at times but also healing. It was a very deceptive elemental mana compared to darkness which was often confused for deception.
