Master Of None

Chapter 2753: 2753. Curious Hero

”I heard that the human king will be bringing his daughter. She is still small but I have heard she is very unusual.” This was the first that Walker was gearing for the king of Diamondʼs daughter being strange.

”I know that I heard that she was doing well in one of the recent communications with the king about their journey here. But I didnʼt hear that she was acting odd or unusual in any way.” Walker wondered if he had missed anything in the recent reports because he and the party had been so busy lately. He also knew that they had been doing their best to stay up to date with how important this was.

”Well, rumors say that she has changed her own name twice. That she is speaking very well for a human child barely two years old now. That she is even starting to use magic skills and looking in to learning space magic if she can find a way. Itʼs all odd and doesnʼt make much sense from what I can understand. There are always geniuses born with odd senses of self though. She could be one of them.”

Rorick had his fair share as king with those. Genius warriors who would refuse orders from him but if they saw a monster stronger than them, they would charge at it like they had seen the greatest fight in their life. ”Maybe she is like a berserker but magical.” Rorick laughed clearly, taking this as more of an amusing rumor amongst leaders of kingdoms rather than anything truly worrying.

”Well, they should be here within the next day or so. The rest of my party and I will be meeting them since that is where we came from. It is respectable to do so, but I think we will also get to meet the princess…” Walker was going to say the name he had heard but realized that if he said it there might be more issue than anything. Itʼs better to just call her princess of Diamond or just princess.

”I have to say, things like this are fun. Itʼs just like those monster dwarven golems. Rumors about one that is mimicking ancient monsters are already being brought out. Apparently there is a rivalry between a few of the workshops inside the dwarven kingdom and working in Genesis. I canʼt wait to see them compete face to face.”

This was something Walker should have seen coming.

There were rivalries between workshops in the dwarven kingdom. That was always a fact and what helped them push one another to be better. However, the issue was that both worked under the craftsman guild now. Allowing their rivalry to become too much of a problem could cause there to be a poor precedent set.

”I will keep my eye on them too. I am sure that the king of the surface, king of the deep, and king of the people would not be happy to see their race looked at as less than because they got in to fights by having their dwarven golems collide. Not to mention the repairs needed after something like that.” Rorick looked at Walker like he was crazy.

”I would much prefer if they did fight. I have rarely seen golems do battle. If they can, then we can learn much more about the future of dwarf made golems of all shapes and sizes.” It was clear that this would not be going the way Walker hoped but he could arrange something safer just like the coliseum.

”I will see what I can do. I know some of the spirit race who control the dwarven golems as bodies might want to test themselves too.” Walker stopped this conversation and gestured for Alice to head off with him. Midnight gave a slight wave since she intended to remain here. Even though he had tried to leave before the conversation had halted him again, but now he was really heading out on his way.

”Alice, I think I am going to head out on the road that the human nobles and king should be taking. I know that everyone else wanted to meet them when they arrived, but I am a little curious now.” Looking at him, Alice knew that Walker was never able to win against his curiosity. It was basically a core part of who he was and why he had gotten this far.

It was right in the very beginning of his story from the day he was born. Yes he had wanted to awaken his system so he had done everything possible to do so. However, because he had learned so much he was always looking for a new something here or there to learn. That curiosity was multiplied over and over even after going through everything and fixing the flow of the world to be proper.

Now he was just curious about little rumors or small ideas. They would easily become focus and he would pursue them to a new belief or new understanding almost every single time. Whether he liked it or not, he had started a few phrases common for people to say.

”Curious like the wandering hero.”

”Nosy enough to be a true hero.”

”Always more curious than a cat huh?”

All three were small little things that people said and Walker always pretended not to hear, but he was definitely gaining the self made title, the curious hero.

”I will go back and help Midnight. She will give everyone a little trouble.” Her small giggle left Walker wondering if she was more excited to do some training herself or to be able to watch Midnight train using her dragonkin form. Regardless, it was better knowing that a talented healer like Alice was there to address any issues.

His mind did dwell on what he and Alice would do after all this. Walker knew that there would be plenty of other races visiting Genesis within the coming months. It would only increase as more and more of the expeditions went out to act as ambassadors. But, he should have time to live a normal life in some form. Meaning he could devote a bit more time to them… the thought trailed off before he refocused his mind to step forward in to the air heading toward the road paved between Genesis territory and the human territory.

Walker liked that the road made was built very wide. It allowed for several merchant carts to run along and even park if a larger caravan was moving through. The fact that some adventurers had been hired to travel it now and then was also a great idea. The adventurerʼs guild would take funding from both kingdoms that utilized the road and send rookie adventurers to make notes of damage and also patrol for monsters. It made the roads safer even though they cut through even more wilderness after the world expanded.

He also was easily able to spot some of the adventurers in question making notes of a few fallen trees at the edge of the road which seemed to have fallen in the recent rainstorm through this area. It just meant that someone would be along to collect it as materials rather than letting it rot there. Plus, someone would most likely plant a new tree there to maintain the environment since that was a huge focus for the elves and the echidna races.

Spotting a larger train of merchants made it very clear that he was looking at the start of the noble and royal caravan from the human territories. But Walker was also impressed that nothing stood out as the royal carriage or the noble carriages. They all had mimicked the same look to ensure safety. Not that he couldnʼt tell the difference.

The sway that a royal guard walked and an average guard walked were all too different. The rogue training to keep posture and vision for any dangers near a royal was something not easily hidden. Therefore, Walker spotted a few guards moving around a singular carriage and stepped down from the sky.

His robe was one that made it very clear who he was and Walker had worn it today since it would be able to make him stand out while meeting King Rorick and any others who were in need of him.

”I hope I can speak to the merchant in this carriage?” Walker made sure to be clear with his desire while also not making it seem he understood who was actually inside. Without hesitation, one of the disguised guards opened the carriage and let him step in. all down without the carriage actually halting its movement. There were some very good perks for those that had the skill to walk through the air after all. Plus the guards had been trained to do quite a few life saving measures just in case. Opening a carriage door and closing it while moving was nothing to them.
