Master Of None

Chapter 1389 1389. Mixed Blood

"So, he's on his way here?" Mordant had more than heard Walker coming up the mage tower steps. It had been a peaceful night after the guards had shared the news of what was going on. Of course, some details were left out but enough was given so that people could understand that it was a natural happening. Now, Walker was well rested and heading to find Mordant.

"Yes. His son helped Gil and Alma back here. It's really impressive how fast dragons can fly sometimes." Walker had been stuck on this. He was not able to move at such speeds because he lacked wings. The amount of mana he would need to actually fly at similar speeds would be astronomical.

p "That's what you are stuck on? Are you jealous of us natural born dragons? From the way you look, you may become more like a dragon than you know." Mordant found it very amusing having Walker in such a state. But it was also because he had grown comfortable around Walker. During the few days that he had been alone Mordant actually found himself missing the companionship of someone able to properly relax in their own village.

"I have some methods to make myself wings if I want. But I will end up down on the floor faster than it's worth making them. I can even go beyond just wings using my skills…but that's even worse on my mana stores." Walker felt that he was still too young to even try such things. In the grand scheme of things, he was very weak compared to the dragons that were older.

"It all comes with time. Do you think I was able to shape shadows and travel through them when I was born? No, just like Ignus and all other dragons, I had to learn. I just have a higher elemental affinity than most, making me the most qualified to rule my village." Mordant looked around the darkness elemental floor. He had been there for some time absorbing the mana.

"That's a fair point. I have plenty of time to learn a few things." Walker got back to the main topic at hand, "Ignus will come, and just like you, a little later his dragonkin will arrive. But he is bringing two hatchlings. I assume there were none other than them that could come with him. But I can't vouch for how many eggs are born a year or in ten." Walker was lost on this.

"It varied depending on the elemental mana and the state of the main village. It's hard to explain but you will not have to worry over such things unless you decide to enforce strict rules. From what I see in your village's future, you will have many mixed blood and affinity dragons. That could be a good thing…or not." Mordant knew that he had read some records and met more dual or even triple elemental affinity dragons than Walker. As a fellow royal dragon, it was his duty to pass on this knowledge.

"I see that as well. But it could be very good. A fire and water affinity dragon in a blacksmith could make impeccable items. Perfect control of quenching and heating techniques. Or an earth and water affinity dragon that could grow the best crops beating out any other that attempted to do the same. There is too much potential." What Walker could imagine seemed to go on forever. The uses of multiple affinities seemed to never end.

"And what of the dragons who have clashing affinities? Will they struggle to find a balance? Will they have teachers that have been through the same experiences? You say that the water and fire elemental dragon will be ideal for forging. But will they be able to find a balance and absorb pure fire and pure water elemental mana at the same time? Not everyone can use this tower." Mordant brought up the issues he could already see. The tower being one specifically.

"I didn't want to worry about the mage tower. We are researching it so the people in and out are very limited. Once we understand the runes I assume we would build more. Maybe three or four more. There would need to be staff to make appointments and even set requirements to even be allowed inside. But the big problem would be making them accessible to everyone. Regardless of race."

The problem that this came with was that some races would never get a smaller form or ability to change their size. Therefore, the tower would be limited to certain races which was already a problem. "So you will make a grand mage tower? A massive building that even I could fit in without changing my form?" Mordant knew that this was the end goal. The solution that would have to be put out there eventually.

"I would say you are correct. But for that, we need years, materials, a power source, experts in rune carving, and so much more. Genesis is still very young and needs to get the foundations poured." Walker felt that he may be getting too ahead of himself.

"You have maps. Plan it all now. I already have plans for two more branch villages when the granddaughters are of age. Will they actually be built? Who's to say. But I have the plans in case I need them. I recommend you look for the shadows that will form as your village rises to block the sun." Mordant stood up from where he had been meditating. The darkness spirit that was his partner moved around a little upset to leave. "By the way, when will you explain the change in the mana?" Mordant had not heard the news yet.

While the pair moved downward, Walker explained the events that had occurred. They made Mordant become exceptionally silent while he thought. It gave Walker a few hints about what the dragons may or may not know.
