Master Of None

Chapter 1390: 1390. Larger Shop

”I can tell. I can see it written on your face, you know. You already have knowledge about the elemental planes. I do too but the things I know are very limited.” Walker could only reference a single shelf of books within any of the racesʼ libraries about the elemental planes. Not a single person from what they knew was able to go back and forth between them.

”I know that Ibis, the former adventurerʼs guild master, can summon beings from the light elemental plane. But thatʼs the most we know. He canʼt get information about it without breaking his summons. But there are rankings there. The stronger the light elementʼs affinity and purity, the higher they stand there.” Walker waited as Mordant considered things a little bit longer.

Luckily there were plenty of stairs to walk down.

”The elemental planes are an enigma. We dragons pride ourselves on the purity of our mana. I have the purest darkness elemental mana among any dragon that we know exists. But I am still nothing compared to the beings of the darkness elemental plane. Just tearing a small hole to steal away some of that mana would bring me years ahead of where I am now.”

There seemed to be a lot that could come of this. ”If we made holes in whatever the boundaries are between these plains, then wouldnʼt it cause issues?” highly pure elemental mana would not easily mix in to the world. This was an entire plane of existence that had balanced mana flowing as nature needed it to. Even a slight change as a grand elemental spirit left caused ripples everywhere.

”That is exactly why we do not try to force ourselves in to such a plane. That does not mean that some ancient dragons have not ascended. There is an occurrence that happens under certain unknown circumstances. My great grandfather reached what we deem the highest elemental purity with darkness elemental mana. The next time he tried to melt in to shadows to become one with them he disappeared.

Mana became erratic in the area for many days before returning to normal.”

Mordant seemed that he was inspired by this story. It was something his family had achieved that he desired to achieve. ”Dragons believe that this happens when we become properly bonded with elemental mana. That way we flawlessly transition in to the proper plane to continue to grow. Do you find this to be hard to believe?” Mordant had shared a lot with Walker.

But Mordant had seen how much his dragonkin were learning. Many things would change after their trip to Genesis.

”I think I can understand it. I canʼt say that it will be the same for every race. The ancient race that created the mage tower is said to have moved somewhere else. They could have gone to elemental planes or another place all together. Thereʼs so much that we donʼt know.” Walker could go on for hours, days, or years trying to find the right answers.

”That also brings the question, as a nature dragon, will you have a plane of existence to ascend to? Or is this it? What more is there?”This was something that Mordant became much more animated over. He wanted answers. The things in Genesis were extremely entertaining. Radically different from his village or the ones he had been to growing up for many many years.

The things he had in front of him constantly enlightened him. Anyone would become addicted to the feeling.

”If I believe what Gil told us about the grand fire elemental spirit, then there is something else. The spirit said it would meet the other grand spirits again. Therefore, that means there is a place where the elemental planes meet. A place with purer mana, balance, and potentially more answers.” The two had made it down the mage tower and on to the streets.

Mordant had a few ideas in mind but the blacksmith was his first to do for the day.

”We can get in to this more after your village has grown. For now, come with me to evaluate what my dragonkin crafters are learning. I have been very impressed by this wandering blacksmith. The things we taught him are already second nature.” Mordant was referring to the draconic runes that had been shown off.

”If I know anything about him, he has every rune you even think about memorized to use and manipulate as he sees fit. I would say he has a hidden title that puts him at the top of every blacksmith.” Walker didnʼt doubt that the wandering blacksmith was more than worthy of a title based on the work that he was capable of.

”Still speaking highly of him. Good.” Mordant led the way. Walker was very surprised to see how confidently Mordant walked around through the city. He had memorized the layout and enjoyed walking around without having to keep tradition in mind. It was freeing and showed in every step.

”Here we are. This is the shop he started in and behind is the three shops he bought for teaching.” Walker had not realized that the wandering blacksmith had expanded the shop by purchasing three more stores behind his on the next stone street. It was impressive how seamlessly they had been converted together.

Walking inside, Walker felt a heat he thought he had left behind in the lava lands. ”Itʼs almost as hot as Ignusʼs village in here.” Walker saw many of the dragonkin that were unable to work slumped on the ground. But the wandering blacksmith was standing right there in the middle with Midnight and the hatchlings watching.

I guess we are going to interrupt a lesson on how dragon fire can be used to forge today.” Mordant was pleasantly surprised by this. He did not consider that the hatchlings could pursue this as another option than the first paths placed before them. Midnight was doing very well in this respect.
