Master Of None

Chapter 1368: 1368. Fire Dragon Village

After some time walking, Ignus had gone silent. He grumbled now and then to himself about Mordant showing off and using the resources to get one over on him. It was very clear that Walker was watching a small tantrum from the normally fiery royal dragon. But to be fair, he had been caught off guard.

”Is that the village?” Walker had made out the black stone caves and buildings. They were extremely rough and many dwarves would weep seeing them. However, the heat that radiated off of the entire place made it clear that the looks werenʼt for no reason. They were influenced by the fact that the heat constantly warped them.

”It is. Feel blessed that you are one of the few beings that may enjoy the heat we have found here. The lava carries the pure fire elemental mana to different locations every few years. My villages need to constantly shift to remain on top of it.” The warped buildings made a lot more sense now.

”It must be a challenge. Does that mean you are saddled with rebuilding the caves and homes constantly?” The time it took to move so many residences would be astronomical. Walker was still marveling at the Genesis building projects. To move a village constantly would take most of the man power that Ignus had.

”We have that stubborn earth dragon do it. They owe us for the crystals created here. There are many earth elemental crystals formed in the magma that they canʼt touch because of the heat. I just send my dragonkin to harvest them. It is nothing to us.” Ignus acted as if the lava was the same as a warm breeze. Nothing to be concerned about.

”I see, I can speak with the dwarves. They may be able to come up with a moveable home made of rune carved stones. It could make your life easier.” Walker was not going to just go and do it. He would bait Ignus in to such things.

”And why do you think I would need that? Terron needs what I have and provides what I desire already.” The pushback was immediate.

”Thatʼs fine. If you want to watch the walls melt like that constantly when you arenʼt around to control the heat, thatʼs fine. I wonʼt ruin what you have going on. I just thought a royal deserved better comforts. I guess it will just be Mordant with a new home for him and his dragonkin.” The words were too taunting and it caused a small burst of flame to emanate from Ignus.

He didnʼt like being made to feel inferior to anything, let alone another dragon.

”When I come to your village you will show me these runes and potential buildings. If I do not deem them good enough I will burn your entire village to the ground.” The growled words made Walker ease off. He couldnʼt antagonize and bait Ignus too much. There were lines that he had to keep in mind.

The center of my village is over the main flow from the volcano nearby. It provides the perfect underground magma river to place pure fire elemental mana where I need it.” Ignus had walked the three in to the fire dragon village. He waved a hand out to show the space for meditation that he clearly used. ”Your champion will use this spot to catch up while she is here. I will have it no other way.”

Since Midnight was weaker than his champion, Ignus did take a little pity. A dragon champion should be powerful and one that represented the nature dragon royal should have powerful fire elemental strength as well as other elemental strengths. ”Midnight, he has a point. Take advantage of it and train. Su, I know you trained your fire elemental resistance but you should do that more as well.

Also, lose the bark you are chewing on. Train poison resistance as well.”

Su had already been considering this. However, seeing that Walker was making a point in front of Ignus she followed the order at the moment. ”Hmm, Not as different as I thought. You are studying the traditions enough to have underlings that follow you.” Ignus had a slightly better opinion of Walker at this point.

”We can move to speak more in depth about Genesis and what you may need while I am here. I assume you have a cave to yourself?” Walker knew that Ignus wanted this already. It was more than clear that Ignus preferred to be in the warmest part of his village.

”Yes, follow me.” The pair moved under the main black stones in to a cave. The bright flow of magma illuminated it and caused Walker to circulate more mana to avoid being burnt. No matter the items he wore, he was still feeling the heat. Ignus enjoyed seeing Walker start to sweat. It made him feel that even one considered to be the center of all elemental dragons was still unable to handle flames.

”So, what else do you need to know? I want every dragon to come to Genesis. There are problems easier to solve together than apart. Especially if the wyverns are becoming problematic. I already gave the information to Genesis council to investigate.” Walker became much more serious.

”Longevity. You are human and I understand you may live longer with your unique standing. But I have seen cities change, move, and fall. Can you say Genesis will last?” The main crux of how Ignus felt was plain as day. He could have all the feelings he wanted about traditions and Walker. But he could not commit to something that may fall in a few years.

”Thatʼs why I want the dragons, elves, and more. A united people that can live for many years together.” Walker prepared another breath to go more in depth with his future goals for Genesis. Especially the demon lands.
