Master Of None

Chapter 1556: 1556. Calm Convincing

Mordant looked like he was ready to fight someone when Walker came in to the light elemental flirt of the mage tower. The grimace on Mordantʼs face was set in stone. For a darkness dragon to be surrounded by light elemental mana…it was not enjoyable, to say the least.

The stark contrast to Mordant was Rise. She looked almost at peace. The calm expression made her dragonkin form appear to be a porcelain statue waiting for the worldʼs time to pass it by.

”I can see that you are enjoying the light elemental floor of Genesis mage tower.” Walker was sure to keep his voice low. It was just respectable since he had also meditated before to get closer to elemental mana.

”Bringing an ancient relic to your village may be beneficial. It does not show me anything about why you would ruin my peace and insist why I come here. Especially when you have allowed the mana to be controlled by other beings.” Walker knew there would be tension.

It was very clear that Rose was still unhappy and did not support Genesis. Yet, Walker could see the slight acceptance that the light elemental floor brought. This was the best place as of yet for the dragons to meditate on their specific elemental mana. A very enticing treasure.

”This is one part of my home city. I understand you have your reasons for being strict with the laws within your home. You prefer strict tradition to match the pure light elemental mana you strive to gain. I will not tell you that you are wrong. But I will say something else.”

Walker knew he had to give a little to get even the most minuscule step in befriending Rise. ”I will instead say that I also have rules. Strict laws that govern multiple races to come together. To be more than what each of them is apart.”

”The origin runes were a reason some elves accepted unity. Some dwarves only came for the true spirit forging techniques. Merfolk came to meet water elves. Demi-humans came to gain safe potions. Humans came to gain better trade between all races. Monster races came to be accepted.

Everyone is here for a reason that they can give and take.”

”The other royal dragons are here to gain the elemental mana from Thai tower, see their hatchlings take new paths foreign to the dragon race, and even more…well, they came to see something they could not in their small village.”

Since Rise was patiently listening, Walker knew that he might be making some headway. The light elemental floor was better than expected for both the reason of calming Rise and showing off a valuable bargaining chip.

”Mordant should have already told you that your dragonkin have arrived. They have free access to all of Genesis to do what they wish. Eat, train, learn, and even come here. The same with your fellow light dragons that you brought. They have freedom to explore my home.” Walker glanced at Mordant and Current who were calmly watching the conversation.

”They will be building us our own mansions to match Walkerʼs. Regardless of your acceptance, there will be a place for each royal dragon when we decide to visit.” Mordant saw the perfect chance to add to the conversation.

Current didnʼt hold back either. ”There are even a few of my dragonkin warriors that have discovered new battle styles so far. After the battle against the demons, they were able to see things they lacked in others. Now they are studying them and assisting the other races as powerful warriors to be looked up to.”

”The same can be said for Ventura and her children.” Walker grasped the opportunity, ”they are being revered as protectors of the skies because of their roles in mapping and protecting villages in the demon lands.”

Rise seemed to be seeing things in her own ways as they spoke, ”so you are ruling under the idea of equality while allowing the other races to learn the superiority of the dragons. You could do that with pure mana and force.” Her strict gaze made Walker hesitate.

”Yes and no. The races that contribute all play a unique role to make Genesis the perfect home for all. No, we do not rule over them. Each royal dragon would be allowed on the Genesis council if you desire a spot. Or a representative for all dragons. I want to stand alongside every race equally.

No more pointless hate.” Walker saw disgust in Riseʼs eyes and added even more to his words.

”What do you think you can accomplish if you manage to help unite the races? You know that some dragons ask the dwarves to craft grand armors. Why not come here for that? Could you gain light elemental mana gathering runes, armors, and knowledge? The races together on equal footing are already creating new and wonder plus things.”

An angry expression covered Riseʼs face, ”and what of the consequences? What if those that rebel and shatter your fantasy? You expect everything to be good!? Everyone to support this without fail!? I have seen the corruption and putrid evil that should be cleansed. You must follow strict rule and purity to remain clean in this world!” These were emotions defined by great wrongs that Rise had witnessed.

The same that Walker had been warned of before.

”Thatʼs why I am inviting all of the royal dragons. Some have lost family that they loved, others have lost champions or guardians, and some have lost even more. But what do those experiences get me? They get me advice that only people like you can give me. I am young. This city is young.

Do you think I built it alone?”

It was like a slap to Riseʼs face. She had not been asked for help in years. The other dragons avoided her. They never had reason to visit nor did she visit them. Yet, right now in front of her someone who had yelled at her and attacked her values was also asking for advice. It was stunning.

”Show me then. I will see all of it and make a decision. I will not allow the dragon race to be part of something that does not bring respect and honor to it. You will not hide a thing from me.” The seriousness was drilled in to Walkerʼs soul as Rise spoke. She would not give an inch if she saw something wrong.

”Then we will start with a tour. Anything you would like to star-”

”We are getting food. Rise may be used to whatever is hunted but she needs to try the food here.” Current and Mordant were like a pair of toddlers excited for trip to a candy shop. They completely took over.

”Then food I guess it is.” There was no arguing when things were like this. Rise could only wonder why her fellow royal dragons had become so strange.

As they left the tower, Rise was clearly unhappy to step on the ground because she preferred the sky closer to the sun. However, she did not say anything when they walked outside.

”The food is one of the first things that began to come together as more races came here. My mother is a baker. She has a system for it and hunts for new ingredients all the time. We can eat her food tonight but in the markets we can eat the food that comes directly from merchants to be cooked.”

Mordant and Current already branched off when they reached the start of the market. They were buying up what they wanted while Rise came in to contact with many scents. She had not expected that she would have to navigate something so strange.

”You ate at the royal dragon court. Try things here. The food is different and just as good. Some are even better than I am at cooking. Iʼm really a novice.” Walker laughed a little. ”Iʼll also have to buy something for Midnight or else she will get angry.”

Hearing Walker speak so casually while people moved around them made Rise curious enough to watch him buy things. ”You can try this, itʼs a roasted horned rabbit with a wild garlic and onion sauce. The forest elves brought the wild vegetables and the Demi-humans hunt the rabbits.”

Current and Mordant were already eating the same thing that Walker was offering. This strategy to sue food to entice a dragon was too clear. However, Rise was becoming angry that she would be left out of such things. That she would not be given the highest quality food to dine on. Her dragonkin were not capable of this! Walker, Mordant, and Current were eagerly awaiting Riseʼs judgment.
