Master Of None

"Why do you have so many shops? I see at least ten blacksmiths here. Four merchants with various trinkets, and many food sellers." Ignus did not fully comprehend the way the markets worked. This was not a normal occurrence within the dragon culture. They would work for the village and not sell anything.

"We have them from multiple cities. They bring the goods of every race associated with Genesis so that they can trade and mix cultures. The forest elves had water spikes which help the fields attract water during the hotter days. This was great for the demi-humans who have an abundance of food. There are crops brought from the demi-human farms that can't grow here. Dwarves bring high quality goods and tools. Merfolk bring ocean related materials and goods. And one day the demons will bring things as well. Don't even get me started on the goblins and grey haired spider. Their contributions are small now but will grow infinitely."

"I have seen them here and there. The world ensured that all knew of them becoming a proper race. I can not fight the world." Ignus had some distaste for the fact that monsters were being recognized as equals to other races. Yet he could not argue since the dragons kicked from their village fell and became monsters.

"We hope that the harpies will become a race recognized by the world soon. It just depends on how soon they can stand alone without the demi-human support they have now. I have seen the harpy queen a few times but she is very reliant on the help she receives. But I have a feeling that it might change when she chooses a successor." Walker could only imagine Elise helping Stella to become a harpy queen one day. It was a fun thought to have.

"That little shop there has small charms carved from simple wood. But the runes on them are different from ours. They focus on mana gathering. I have seen those runes taken and used by the dwarves here. It is experimental but very useful." The difference in runes was something that mordant would chat with Ignus about later. However, it was worth mentioning at the moment since Mordant had visited the shop and place an order already.

"I have noticed that there is a greater density of mana here. I can see that tower is the cause. The mage tower you said you have. I will explore that later. I do not wish to ruin that experience if I will remain there for a longer period of time." The way Ignus saw it, was that he would spend too much time there when he got to the elemental floors Walker had described. It was better to see other things first before fully focusing on fire elemental mana purification.

Walker knew that the dragonkin in the forge would still be exhausted. However, he was opening the door regardless. "You are exactly the same as when I saw you by the river of lava" Ignus looked at the wandering blacksmith who raised his head from a pile of blueprints. The rune drawings on them were all experimental.

"Sorry to bother you again. Ignus wanted to come and make a request for blueprints that could be used by the dragonkin that come to learn from you." Walker would have finished his sentence but Ignus took over with obvious excitement.

"The armor you made me is still very functional. I am here to ask for armor that can fit my dragon form properly. It is a very large project which is why my dragonkin will create it from your guidelines. I have enemies coming from over the ocean. The dragons will need to be at their best." Walker knew this was the preparation that Ignus wanted to make for when the wyverns made their way to the mountains.

"There is no immediate threat. This is preparation." Mordent ensured the wandering blacksmith of this before there was a major rush. It would keep the learning smooth and without any additional stress.

"The dwarves have already been paid for materials and I shall play you with this as well. The gold forged within the magma pools. Only someone like myself can reach in to such depths for this." Another ball of gold was handed over to the wandering blacksmith. He knew exactly what it was.

"Lava forged gold

This is the rarest form of gold on the planet. The gold that is condensed and melted naturally within massive lava pools has amazing pro[perties. Unlike regular gold, it is not as soft. It also allows for tremendous amounts of mana to flow through it or become stored within. This makes it the best possible materials for filling in rune carvings. Very few pieces of this gold is found and used properly.'

Since Walker had not seen something so valuable before he was very impressed. The fact that this could greatly improve the mana flow of runes and store more mana was spectacular. However, just because it was tougher than normal gold, did not mean it was ideal for armor. It was easy to guess that the runes carved with only the lava forged gold could be damaged.

While Walker considered this, Ignus was going over the design he wanted, Mordant was carefully looking through the stacks of darkness hybrid runes. He was very impressed by what the wandering blacksmith had come up with. Many flat sheets of metal had test runes on them allowing Mordant to see how well they gathered mana. Some that clearly broken because of the high amount of mana they drew towards the metal without proper control.

"I'm surprised you aren't asking for armor now." Since Walker knew this was in Mordant's mind, he had to ask. Walker was about to regret asking the question though…
