Master Of None

Chapter 1326: 1326. Baiting A Dragon

”Of course I examined every volunteer and dragonkin myself. Every ryal had the right to see who would be assisting in the purge of rogue dragons. The warrior does excellent work. I personally witnessed him deal with a rogue in three slashes of a great ax. A very primal battle style with extreme control. I look forward to meeting more like him.”

This seemed to make Clara stand a little taller. She had hopes that Barry would make a name for himself that represented the strength of the adventurerʼs guild. ”I believe you may already know the strength we have heard about when it comes to dragonkin warriors.

I hope that you have some that would like to experience our veteran adventurers who have been waiting for experience training opponents.” This was the main goal that Clara had when it came to any royal dragon visiting. She wanted the dragonkin warriors to teach and show off the skills they had. It could make the veteran adventurers that might be stagnant in their growth inspired.

”I will see what can be arranged. I have quite a few crafting related dragonkin on their way. The true spirit forging methods along with runes are very interesting. I am curious to see how my peopleʼs draconic runes meet the history of runes that have been transcribed here.” This was something that Mordant had wanted since he saw the unfamiliar runes in the darkness circlet.

He wanted to know how they worked to gather such pure darkness elemental mana along with allowing an elemental spirit to reside within it and even increase the effects of the runes. This was an aspect of forging and bonding that the dragon race had never invested in.

”Ehm, that would be me.” The sudden loud speech of the wandering blacksmith was very shocking. Walker, nor anyone else, had ever heard him speak so loudly.

”This is the famous wandering blacksmith. He has skills that far exceed any blacksmith I have ever met when it comes to forging and forging knowledge. He has taught me some things while also demonstrating things I may never be able to accomplish.

Whether it is forging with dragon flames or carving runes, he is who you want your blacksmiths to learn from.” The high praise made Mordant realize just how valuable this man was.

”I will personally enjoy speaking with you later then. I have not spoken to the famous wandering blacksmith with mixed blood. What is the story I heard, a man that happened upon a royal dragon named Ignus in the volcano lands? Strangely enough, the man was forging using lava and pure force of will to resist the heat.

Along with some strange rune forged gear.” Walker had heard parts of this story but he did not know that the wandering blacksmith had met Ignus. ”I really appreciate the beauty of the chest plate you gave him after you finished. I hope to one day ask you to create one for me. If only it was enough to fit me in dragon form.” Mordant spoke softly.

”I have many orders. I can take one order for some months in advance. I can not say I knew he was a dragon. It explains the strange illusions created by that ring. To appear like a human in dragonkin form.” The wandering blacksmith understood what had truly happened that week in the volcano mountains.

”Oh? You were able to see through the ring that Ignus has? It is his oldest treasure from years ago. Even I struggle to recognize it sometimes even though I have my own illusions in the shadows. I wonder if you can make one of those.” Mordant tested the waters a little more.

”Not currently. I lack arcane skills to create something so perfect. One day I may find a partner or path though.” The wandering blacksmith slowly returned to his chair. The amount of speaking the wandering blacksmith had done was radically larger than usual. He was understandably tired and it showed Mordant that it was time to move on in topic.

”As much as I would prefer to be with my potions, the young guild master was a little behind. I apologize for you needing to deal with my old bones.” The old master alchemists spoke out. Remey had been radically behind on what events had occurred while she was gone. As much as she had prepared when she left, it had not been enough.

”Trust me, your bones are younger than mine. I can smell the herbs from here, master alchemist.” Mordant found his interest piqued over and over again just by walking in to this room.

”That may be true, but yours will last longer than mine. I would like to give you some food for thought while you are here. I understand that each royal dragon represents a certain elemental affinity to study. I have been leading a certain theory, one that deals with affinities. Please take this small low tier darkness elemental affinity potion as a gift from the alchemy guild.

I hope your village and the alchemy guild can speak about trading herbs and potions one day.” The small potion vial was carried over by an assistant to Mordant.

It was clear to Walker that Mordant was stunned. His eyes shook slightly in excitement. The only reason that Walker aw this was because of how close he was to Mordant. The others were waiting to hear the response.

”I have to say, this is something I did not expect. Something like this is new to the world if I understand it. Is there anything that your village can not do?” Mordant looked at Walker carefully.

”Just wait for the visit to the mage tower. You may enjoy the elemental floors when used with that affinity potion.” The old master alchemist appreciated Walkerʼs addition to what he had said and sat back down to wait for the royal dragon to take the bait and come to the alchemy guild at a later date. Mordant was shaken.

Internally he felt that he had made an incredible decision to trust his instinct to come to Genesis.

Mordant looked at the entire room wondering what the elemental floors entailed, however, he wondered even more what else Genesis had to offer. He would never imagine just how much his dragon race was missing out on. Even worse, he had not looked at the elf standing silently watching. The elf that had three tall and powerful guards nearby.

An elf that also had a familiar looking archer nearby that was certainly a member of Walkerʼs party who had walked in silently while Mordant had been conversing with the others.
