Master Of None

Chapter 1324 1324. Intriguing Mordant

Walking through the front gate caused a very large ruckus. The city guards were already making moves to clear the streets. Walker had not hidden how important tradition was for the dragons. This meant that the first order when a dragon was seen coming towards Genesis was to prepare all available to guards to create a welcome. It may not be to the same degree that it would to an older dragon village, built the city of Genesis was going to compete.

"How was the flight over? Not too many issues?" Walker wasn't sure what to really speak about. He wanted the rest of the party to remain with him but unfortunately, the only two that stayed were Su and Midnight. The others had run off to focus on the tasks they had planned along with avoiding the added stress of escorting a royal dragon. Walker couldn't fault them though.

"Fairly peaceful. My territories lack most rogue dragons. I did not need to dispatch many of the dragonkin warriors I control. I did stop by a few other villages to be kind. Yet. I found them to be unhappy that I would offer to take their hatchlings here with me or their dragonkin." Mordant shook his head. He had wanted to bring the other's hatchlings and dragonkin to win more favor with Walker. He had too much curiosity about what Genesis was creating and learning.

"I agree, that would have been nice. But I am sure that you have your own family here to see the city? But where are they?" Walker didn't want to sound ignorant. He just wondered where the dragonkin and Mordant's champion were. Especially since Su and Midnight were both looking about for them. Su specifically was looking for a fellow guardian to show around the city.

"They are still walking here. I challenged them to walk at human speed. It will help them adjust to being in a city like this where many races come together. I have the unfortunate luck that none of those I live around can control their strength. You know how that goes." A small smirk bloomed on Mordant's lips at his joke. He was sure that it was funny enough to get a few laughs.

"You're telling me. Midnight has been learning to use silverware properly and has broken a decent number of forks." Walker agreed with his own smirk while Midnight pulled at his sleeve in a soft huff. She was shameless enough to show her distaste for his words while Mordant was around. Yet, Mordant was more interested in the fact that Midnight was able to easily walk about in a dragonkin form at such a young age. It was a very unusual occurrence in the dragon culture.

"This is the main market road. It was made wider so that the different races could set up their stalls with whatever they can offer to each other. At first, the trade between some races was limited. However, the addition of rare items from different places became accepted and even sought after. I have some elf friends that sell a very wide variety of herbs and vegetables only grown in their forest." This was another interesting thing for Mordant to see. Even though the guards made way for them to walk, many people were out in the streets buying what they needed. The races were mixed and living very peacefully. This was very different compared to the chaos that once reigned over the world when all the races were very young.

"I am sure that they will create some interesting food. The spices you had were not very common in any village from my knowledge." Mordant knew well that Walker had more flavorful food due to the fact that all the cultures were coming together in Genesis to create something new and different. "I can see that there are many spaces that have runes carved on them. But they are different from the ones I saw before." These runes were easily explained. The dwarves that created them used the rune forms they were used to and so did the elves.

"The newer runes we have are not widely known or used. The tower has so many that the runesmiths can't even keep up." Walker paused for a moment. "The ruins I just returned from might be the same race that created the tower we brought from the deserts. The runes are an earlier version of what we have there now. It should really help the growth of knowledge." This brought a wide smile to Mordant's face.

"I will send my personal rune carvers to help. Naturally, they will share their knowledge. I wish to see more runes that mix with your spirit forging. I am greatly enjoying this circlet and so is my friend." The darkness spirit materialized from the circlet that was around Mordant's wrist. It still didn't speak to Walker but appeared to be very happy.

"By the way, speaking of spirits. I had an arcane scribe make a lot of scrolls. They copied my all around spirit speak and all around appraisal skill. That should leave the potential for someone to learn how to speak with all elemental spirits. One of my party members already managed it and I am sure that the rest will do that too. I can't say they will have the same luck for the all around appraisal skill." Walker spoke casually but noticed that he had intrigued Mordant once again.

Mordan had a very strong relationship with the darkness elemental spirit, however, he did not have proper communication. They were able to understand each other because of the strong understanding of darkness elemental mana that Mordant had. "I would like to procure some of those scrolls during my stay here. It would be very useful to us. My village could be one of the first to properly relate to you as the new royal nature dragon." Walker could tell that it was a little more than just curiosity. It seemed that Mordant wanted to be able to be the first to get ahead of the other royal dragons while also increasing his understanding of darkness elemental mana.

What dragon could say that they had spoken to an elemental spirit that was completely made up of their desired elemental mana? Mordant had the potential to increase his affinity to a higher degree which would in turn make his standing with the other dragons skyrocket.
