Master Of None

Chapter 529: 529. Kroll And Ventus

Walkerʼs full attention was at the door. It swung open slowly and more than a few enforcers made their way in to the hall. They appeared to be on edge and Walker picked this up immediately. He also held himself in a much stronger stance.

”You all look so worried. And here I thought the elves would hold themselves with more grace.” The familiar voice and silhouette of Barry came in to view. However, as Walker relaxed he saw another silhouette. One of a spider with an equally familiar goblin on itsʼ back.

”Thereʼs a goblin and a large grey haired spider here. How could they tame both?”

”No, this is the one that the hero spoke of? Is it not?”

Where are the knights? The goblin could attack at any second.”

The merchants and elders were falling to pieces over the entrance of the goblin spider rider and Barry. They had been so shocked that they didnʼt even hear the words that Barry had said.

”Rest easy! This is my vice guild master and a newfound ally. They are welcomed by us and if any dare to act against them then I shall be the one you face.” Ibis was not having any of the fear and distrust. He released some of his mana and the force caused any of those nearby to shudder.

”I second the words of the guild master. The heroes recognize this goblin as a friend and any that oppose them will meet the consequences.” Walkersʼ words drew their attention and slightly relaxed those who were voicing their worries. The elders had known that Walker had encountered the goblins but had fallen in to an older methodology of fearing the goblins instead of welcoming them.

”So you are acting so adult and grown up. I thought you would be taking a backseat approach to all of this political speak. Actually, shouldnʼt the king be here?” Barry had realized that the groups of people and elves were too small. There should be more important figures as well.

”They are resting. I was going to return but it appears there is something else I must deal with first.” Walker was still putting on his best bravado and mannerism due to his current position. This shocked Barry who had looked at them as children in the need of assistance last time he had been with them.

”In that case let me act a little more proper.” Barry cleared his throat and straightened his back. ”Sir hero, I have brought the forest goblin chief Kroll and the Patriarch Grey haired spider Ventus to meet with the elf queen and company. Please guide them.” Barry lowered his head and motioned for Kroll to come forward.

”Sir Hero...Kroll has arrived to speak to Queen of elves.” This was a shaky start for Kroll who had always known the elves and humans as creatures that had hunted them. Yet, Barry and Walkersʼ party had started to change that. ”Champion Barry has guided us here.”

”It is good to see you again Kroll and Ventus. You two look to have prepared yourselves well.” Walker could see that Barry had taught them to clean themselves very well. Kroll wore clean leather armor and Ventus had every hair on his body clean and trim. It was the worldʼs cleanest goblin and grey haired spider.

Walker thought for a moment and realized that all the things the guild master had spoken about were related to this. The goblin was here to meet the queen and most likely establish proper laws and other things when it comes to the goblins.

”I believe it will be a good time to bring you in to the conversation. Barry will be staying here to assist the guild master though. So prepare yourselves for this.” Kroll gave him a nod to show that he had been ready since the time they left the goblinsʼ cave.

”Things have taken a change at that cave the goblins and spiders were hiding in. I gathered some trustworthy adventurers and we built up the space around them. They have small homes made from fallen trees. I assumed that it was better to reclaim the materials than to use anything fresh.” Barry had taken note of the location and the elvesʼ feelings.

”They also have one goblin that showed great strength in cooking along with another that is a very talented leather worker. The spiders are also amazing at creating threads for various uses. I believe they have a future as a race as soon as they are given the chance and protection.”

Walker couldnʼt help but be impressed by Barrysʼ report. He knew that the goblins had been working to improve themselves since he left and that was one reason that the guild master was sending barry to deal with the occurrence. However, this was at a much faster rate than expected.

”I believe that is more than enough to make Krollsʼ presence justified.”  ”Kroll, Ventus, Come with me. The break is over and the rulers you will be meeting will be your equals.” Walker said this last part for a few reasons. One was because it would make Kroll feel a little more at ease, but this was not the most important.

The most important was because it would let Kroll know that the p[eople he was about to meet were incredibly important to his future. They would be the ones that would stand beside him in the fight for the goblins to rise and find their other brethren. If this was done they could step away from monster hood and become a full fledged race.

The two opened the door to the room the queen, King, and Scylla were waiting in. Kroll rode Ventus through the grand doorway to face those that he had once feared the most and would now be able to regard as equals.
