Master Of None

Bree let out a large sigh. "I understand now. I just don't understand how it is your party that seems to attract all these things. It was a lot when you were able to help the city and now you push for a whole new city to be built." In the end, Bree had been able to accept and understand the spirit forging. She was impressed that it would open up a whole new way to bond with elemental spirits and also mend the tension between dwarves and elves. 

"Well, I think in the very least, our people will be very attracted to visiting here. Since we will have multiple merchants setting up shop here it will also make things very smooth. I know the cultures will be different but from what you explained, the dwarves have found a great number of dormant elemental spirits. We harvest a high number of mana crystals. The combination will definitely cause a growth in spirit forging and elves working with dwarves." Alma was also imagining the different bows and staffs that would come to be after spirit forging was explained and learned by the elves. 

"So you can all see how we were able to get where we are now." Walker had long returned his chest plate and cloak to his body. He was glad that everyone was able to sit and speak for a while. "I wonder what queen Reina will think about all of this." Bree and Alma were shocked for a moment until they remembered that they had witnessed and heard the elf queen give the party permission to use her name. 

"I believe it will be good information. I should actually leave to speak with her. I know I have not been to the Genesis building yet but I was told where it was. Not that I could ignore it. The size really stickers out as the main hub for everyone." Alma stood up and so did Bree. The elemental spirits didn't seem to want to leave. They were looking for permission from Fleur and the wind spirit was looking at Zephyr who had been idly floating about listening to everything. 

"You can all come back any time. We moved the mansion here for convenience but you are all welcome to take up a spare room. A lot are full with some demons, hired housekeepers, and friends stay in them temporarily. But it's still too large for us t fill." Walker knew that this would be a better solution. The elemental spirits were already pulling at Bree to stay there and Alma seriously considered it. 

"If it isn't too much trouble I would like to stay here. I think keeping an eye on you is better than waiting to hear what else you manage to do." Alma looked at Gil since she also would be able to spend time catching up with him. 

"Of course you can. I will set up the room myself. You will need to come for a walk with me later though. I already explored a lot of the city and found some good spots that will open earlier than later." No one said a word as Gil set up his own plans. 

"Unfortunately I need to begin setting up the six merchants that came with me. I have been honored to accept the leading role in bringing over the elemental crystals for the shops. They are spread through the city with a main crystal work shop near the adventurers' guild. I also have to speak with the Garnet family about auctions and contracts." There was a lot of Bree's plate when it came to her duty. But it was going to come together faster than she expected. 

"In that case tell them that Walker says hello. I haven't been there yet to see what kind of auction hall they built. From what I expect it will be near the market but set aside so they can accommodate larger auctions. I have a feeling that every industry and guild will have a part in it."

"I will do that. Fleur, Zephyr, Thank you very much for allowing me to meet you both. I hope to see you again soon." The elemental spirits copied Bree as she gave a slight bow. When she left she wiped the sweat from her brow and rushed toward the Genesis building. Alma soon followed after she said goodbye to them. 

"So, Gil…You have been writing a lot of letters while you stand watch at night and when you are alone. Huh?" Walker held his tea up to his face and slowly sipped it while waiting for Gil to react. 

"Yes. And it's been nice. But now I have to go set up a room as promised." He left the room much faster than Su and Walker had imagined he would. 

"I think you have embarrassed Gil a lot. He deserves it though. Since he teases everyone. But maybe we shouldn't say this to Remey." Su and Walker both understood that Remey would jump on that as a way to tease Gil a lot. 

"Anyways. I think we should figure out what we will do next. There are a lot of quests and such from Clara. I feel like we should try to push our level higher. We have completed a lot of benchmarks lately." Walker was planning to get a lot of things done in the city before the summit approached. There were still a few days until the other races may show up and it was better to have everything looking its best. 

"I agree. We should have the best possible understanding of the city that we can have. We are the ones that represent it even if there will be a council in place to govern things." Su fully accepted that no matter what the party did that they would be seen as the face of the city.
