Master Of None

The modifications to Gil's armor were more than just intricate. It was easy to say that the armor was a completely new set. There were hundreds of rune patterns that covered them. So many from different races and even a few origin runes. The skill of the wandering blacksmith was truly expanding by the second.

"This is too much. It's magnificent. I think this is armor I can pass down as a family heirloom one day. Armor I can give to my son when he grows up!" The dreams and praise that Gil had for the armor made the wandering blacksmith smile. He had purposefully worked harder to make things for the party before they left the city again. He was not going to travel to the next continent.

"The price for everything I have made. Bring me materials. New materials." The insatiable hunger that the wandering blacksmith possessed was enough to show everyone there that they had a great duty to help him.

"We will definitely bring you materials you might not have seen before. And if you decide to go wandering again, we will be able to escort you to them again." Gil promised wholeheartedly. He knew that the wandering blacksmith would ask this one day anyways, but also, he wanted to be able to thank their family member for all he had done for them.

"I look forward to it." The moment could not be interrupted by anyone. Scylla, Alma, and Leon felt that they were drawn in by this moment of warmth that truly displayed the closeness of these people. The familial bond that had grown between the wandering blacksmith and the party that even the world smiled upon.

"Leon, did the wandering blacksmith make your armor as well?" Remey had noticed the similar patterns on the armor that Leon wore. The water elemental runes were clearly the best of any armor they had seen him wear as of yet.

"It is! I am glad you noticed. He was commissioned to create a template using our normal armor. Then he made this one and gave it to me. His students copied his work and now every merfolk on this journey has water affinity armor. It is a wonder how well he was able to teach the dragonkin blacksmiths in such a short time."

"Of course our dragonkin would rise higher. They are extremely talented." Mordant walked out of the shadows with a head raised high. He had recovered easily after being in the darkness elemental floor of the mage tower. From then, he had spent a lot of time observing his dragonkin's training because he knew they would be coming in to battle.

"You say that like it is only your dragonkin. Learn well that even my dragonkin had begun to learn advanced blacksmithing to create a new armor for myself." Rise had seemed to be moving with Mordant just in the sky and landed near everyone.

From what everyone had heard, the light elemental dragonkin had more than absorbed the knowledge in Genesis. They had gone out of their way to greedily learn everything foreign to them. They had even surpassed some people who had learned skills for years. It was very impressive.

"The best of the best were chosen from all warriors. Dragonkin included." Scylla scoffed at the small competition that seemed to be growing between Mordant and Rise. She recognized the opposite elemental manas that they had but believed they did not need to go against one another at the moment before they left for battle. Luckily, the two dragons recognized the strength that Scylla had. She was one of the few that could face them in some form within Genesis.

"The other royal dragons will come in other shops. Staying with their dragonkin is the best method for them. The best of the best were chosen to keep the forces lower while also adding quality. We have no idea what this new continent will have. Setting up a port there may be difficult." Alma caught everyone's attention. The main topic had to be discussed.

"Yes, only the best were chosen to come with each of us. Champions, guardians, and most importantly the elite dragonkin that have exceeded in their training. It would be a stain on the dragon race to go to battle with the inferior wyverns that desire to attack us without weakest troops." Rise knew well that the wyverns required the strongest. Not only for their period but because the wyverns' wildness gave them a chance to beat a dragon.

"I think as we travel we will be stopping at a village that had a wyvern attack it. Let me get the papers." Leon stopped everyone. They had not been briefed on this. It was new information." Yes, here it is. There were reports and a partial body found in a small village with many farmers. The village was abandoned but the skeletal and some scale remains are there. They were thought to be a dragon before the wyvern information came to light."

"So the small farmers believed dragons attacked them. Most likely a young darkness or a skeletal dragon that had gone wild. Even a rogue dragon. It would make sense why there would be a misunderstanding. Poor education and the rogue dragon rumors around the area." Mordant sighed, he knew well that this was a problem that could have been avoided.

"Now we just need to prove it. I looked in books and found pictures from very long ago. I want to confirm if wyverns are truly what we think they are. The all around appraisal skill I have should be able to tell us a little. Maybe even something unique." This was Walker's plan now that he knew that the river would pass such a village close enough to explore. Leon had done very well planning and finding this.

"Are you saying that you think the threat may be different now? What could have changed?" Scylla had an idea of where the conversation was going. Everyone did. But no one wanted to say the theory out loud and instead left it up to Walker to tempt fate.

"Well, if the wyverns are heading this way, that's not normal, right? What could force them out of their continent to travel the oceans? The demons didn't leave here until recently so it is not them. There are others that must be doing it. Whatever the cause, they are hungry and willing to travel great lengths to get territory. We had the idea that they were growing too large in population but that's just one possibility."

"They may be controlled?" Alice recalled the control that some demon sin title holders had over the water elves. It made sense that this could happen to mindless monsters such as the wyverns.

"Or they have a famine and not enough food to eat there." Gil's theory also played a big part. Not everywhere was full of life and growth to support strong and large monsters.

"Or even worse, they are being hunted and are fleeing." Su's theory was the strongest and the potentially worst. Whatever could hunt a race of powerful monsters that could fight dragons would be very dangerous. Especially if the demon king made some sort of deal or gained control over them.

"Enough of the theories. We have these ships to sail off in. It will be a while before we even get there. The aquatic golems are almost here too." Rmeey had had enough. She didn't want to leave the city with such a depressing atmosphere. This was already going to be a large journey.

"You're right, no more of this. We have a ceremony to start. There are already a lot of people arriving." The remaining representatives of the Genesis council along with the royal dragons were arriving at a large stage next to the first ship that would be put in the river. The first ship of Genesis that would traverse the oceans. It was a major step for the city.

"Brother, Our home is growing so much so fast." Onyx seemed almost sad to see that Genesis had begun to grow beyond their sight. They didn't even need to manipulate every situation while it was built. The people that had come together were already doing it. Even the demons recused had embraced the freedom and dreams they once had after healing.

"Yes, Onyx, yes it is. But it's a place with a future. Exactly what we dreamed of.'' Everyone took to the stage to meet the remainder of the Genesis representatives. Many of the builders were prepared to send the ship in to the water while mages took their positions firmly. The citizens awaited the words of celebration while they gathered. The constant murmuring becoming a constant buzz of excitement.
