Master Of None

Chapter 1399 1399. Tempting The Dwarves

The change in Ignus as soon as he was offered food he had never even imagined tasting was the same that Mordant had. They were both much more interested in things once they had discovered that there was such a potential within Genesis.

"This is why you came here so early?" Ignus made sure that Walker wouldn't hear his conversation with Mordant.

"There is much more than you think here. It may go against some of our traditions. However, you will feel much more free to pursue your own strength here. How many times do you need to stop your growth and fall in to the same boring routines because of traditions that can no longer empower dragons? This place does not force that upon us. There wasn't anyone forcing us to follow them. It was just how it has been for generations." Mordant had reached his own conclusions.

Genesis had done one thing. It had offered the dragons another route to expand and travel. A path that their race had not taken due to their pride and taught tradition. This new path was a curious temptation that Mordant had already accepted. Sure, there would be some traditions that would never die. That was respect for the past that created their race.

"I see. It angers me that we would forsake our traditions. My father ensured me that he would show me how to be a powerful dragon above all others in the lands of fire. The question is, will I achieve a greater position than that by joining here? Can my villages grow without the constant requirement for guidance?" Ignus asked his questions without any desire for answers. They were the same questions that Mordant was mulling over.

"They should be ready for you now. We can introduce the representative of Genesis to you.' Walker knew that the pair of royal dragons would eat much more if he allowed them to continue to look for new things. "Tonight we will eat at my mansion. I will offer the same to you, If you like it we can speak to the dwarves about having one made. I am considering asking for something to be made for any visiting royal dragon in the future."

The idea to have a new mansion built was simply because he knew the royal dragons would be coming to use the mage tower elemental floors. There was too much temptation there for them to give up. They could become stronger faster without having to hunt down the naturally occurring places with dense elemental mana of their specific affinity.

"That is a very good idea. I will support that. I will not share the space though, it would be in opposition to my rest." Mordant was already pushing back if he would have to share.

"It shouldn't be the case that all of you are here at once. That is for the royal dragon court. I can easily set up a plan for all of you to visit in rotation though." Walker knew that genesis would be unable to handle every royal dragon as it was.

"As I said before. This is the Genesis building. The main governing building of the city…" Walker found the tour and introductions to fly by very quickly. The representatives had come quickly and met Ignus. Scylla had drifted off to the Genesis building when Ignus had gotten there making it easier for her to give everyone a heads up about what they may face along with Su who had even more information.

Ignus did not show any negative expressions. He was interested in the events that happened with the flame elves and the conclusions drawn. He even offered the basic records he had of his territory which really surprised Walker. Their experiences in his territory had greatly improved Walker's relationship with him. So much so that Ignus was not letting his fiery temperament get in their way.

"I want to see your blacksmith. I want to see that man I once met in my lands. I desire new armor." Ignus knew exactly who the wandering blacksmith was. He could smell him. A dragon would rarely forget a scent.

"He is testing the hybrid runes that work with draconic and what we have begun to call origin runes. I have sent a significant amount of mined materials to him from the current mining project to create a road to my city." The king of the deep caves remained present when the introductions had finished. He wanted to speak to a dragon that could potentially offer the best forging flames for the dwarves.

"Good, there will be a substantial need for materials. I have this armor for my dragonkin form but lack proper armor for my dragon form." Ignus was planning to have the wandering blacksmith design the armor and teach his dragonkin to create it for him.

p "That would be a very costly project-"

"Cost is nothing. I have stores of valuable materials. I can offer steel and gold forced in magma fires. You know that gold forged within the heart of a magma pool is no longer the same as the ringgit you use as currency. It is powerful and absorbs an immense amount of mana." Ignus knew exactly what he had of value and how to use it.

"If you offer even a handful we can get you any materials you need for such armor. We will even forge them in to ingots for easier transport to your blacksmiths." The king of the deep caves became very happy and proper. Walker wasn't even sure who he was looking at. Ignus just nodded in approval and handed a small ball of gold. The purest gold Walker had ever seen.

"This is what I brought for payment. It should be enough." Ignus turned away. He desired to see the wandering blacksmith immediately and Walker knew if he did not guide him then would just follow the scent until he got there.
