Master Of None

Chapter 1565 1565. Time To Think

"Did we just hurt Rise?" Mordant looked like he had just seen a ghost. He had never seen the oldest of the royal dragons look like this. She had never stopped herself or changed the way she thought.

"I have been forcing my opinions and values on her for days. We even went to her home and threw them at her. I did a lot that I am not proud of. It makes me a lot like the worst people that we fought against. I will have to apologize later." Walker recognized he was doing what he didn't want to do to Rise. he had imposed his own values over hers. Regardless of how hers were toxic at the moment.

"Trust me, it is time for someone to make a move to influence her. I have been silent for too long but I will go and speak with her after some time. I try to keep my hands out of others' affairs. I prefer the freedom of the sky." Ventus had dealt with many problems caused by light rogue dragons. Now she had a way to fix the issue.

"I see." Ventus seemed to understand that Walker was a little still caught up in his own feelings. However, she could tell that she had made a decent point. A clear standard had been set and he knew that it was one he would never compromise on. The equality of everyone in the world, no matter their race. On top of that, he had the support of other dragons. Some being less than others but that was not an issue at all. It was enough to get where he needed to be and to make the future better.

"Ventus, come and see what you can use. There are a few of these wind affinity potions that were recently finished." Mordant seemed like a kid in a candy shop. Very excited for what he had discovered about the newer potions.

"We just made some new potions and I think he will like them." Remey picked up on this easily. "We added some different herbs with more potent dark affinity because his dragonkin were able to find them in places we couldn't. It's going to be the same for the other elemental herbs as well. The dragons will bring herb seeds or roots to grow them that we wouldn't be able to get to with our bodies."

The mountains were the main point that Remey was talking about. The dragons had unlimited access to the highest mountain tops that she would never be able to climb without high risk. On top of that, they were also able to deter the monster that would hunt humans or elves. Overall, the dragons would contribute to the alchemy guild more than anyone else once they brought unique herbs.

"That just means you can focus more on growing the alchemy guild. Your fellow guild masters were telling us about the problems you have about classes and the number of younger alchemists. I would suggest you send some out with adventurers more. Since the adventurers need to gather herbs as quests, make the alchemists go with them for more learning."

The idea wasn't bad and Remey had already considered it. The only reason she had not done so was the fact that the younger alchemists might not able to maintain a cool head in the wilderness. "I might give it a chance. Some of the alchemists that joined are older but still inexperienced compared to some of the younger alchemists."

"Actually, there were a lot more alchemists that never had a chance to grow because they didn't have the familial background or the gold to make it work. I forget that the road blocks for alchemists were unending before we gathered so many here." Remey was right. This was a major change in the alchemist culture. One that would define alchemy for generations.

"What's your plan for the rest of the day?" Remey was curious. Now that Walker had lost Rise to her own emotions, he wasn't giving her a tour any longer. Now he had to figure out what to do.

"As much as I had wanted to go to the cathedral, I think I will avoid that. If Onyx, Alice, and Aurora are training I won't interrupt them. Instead, I should go and see Midnight with the hatchlings. They should be waiting to see what happens with the new hatchlings arriving."

"That's a good idea. I heard that the earth dragon hatchling is already here along with an egg. Then I was listening in when I walked here and Current apparently had four hatchlings on the way. So many people are excited about the young dragons in the city. But you should take a few potions with you. I will also work on more dual elemental potion theories. Well, the old man will." The old master alchemist glared at Remey since he heard her promising his work to Walker. He still had a slight smile though, proving he wasn't angry at all.

In a matter of a few minutes, Remey had put together a batch of different affinity potions. She knew that more hatchlings were coming in to the city and they could also boost to their strength. The affinity potions would help them establish a bond in the city while also adding to their internal energy.

"Thanks Remey. I will see you later. Remember, tonight is a big dinner since we have the royal dragons here." Walker was sure that Remey would be there regardless, but he had to remind her just because.

Once he had left everyone behind, Walker realized how peaceful it was to wander through the city. He had been worried that the more people that came in would make things harder to move. However, he found that the large streets opened everything up perfectly for foot and carriage traffic. The city design truly showed off the best of the dwarven planning on top of the additional elven tree growth.

He knew it would be tough to narrow down where Midnight and the hatchlings might be. Luckily he could vaguely sense where she was with the bond he had between him and her. This made Walker start toward the outer walls which surprised him.

By the time he reached the walls, he noticed that there were still many builders at work moving stone. They were putting pieces here and there with the assistance of a few earth dragonkin. It made a lot of sense since the earth dragonkin released on brute strength. Moving large stones was a great way for them to train. That was also how Walker found Terron.

"I came this way to find Midnight and the hatchlings but found you first. This seems like a good training idea."

"Hmm? Oh, they are just over in the field there. I introduced another earth hatchling and set up a small nest for the egg I brought here. The egg has a small crack meaning the hatchling will not survive the caves underground. I am challenging the other hatchlings to protect it." Terron was showing a lot more caring than Walker expected. Yet, the tone Terron used was still nonchalant.

"I think that is a great idea. They can learn a valuable lesson about keeping each other safe. Plus, Midnight can take on more responsibility. She has to be ready for anything that happens.' The approval only made Terron nod once or twice.

"I brought the affinity potions for the hatchlings to use since they might need help catching up in strength. I don't think they will mind one of the earth affinity potions missing though." Terron's eyes widened when he took the earth affinity potion from Walker. "It's a low earth affinity potion but there should be some mid tier affinity potions to choose from if you go to see Remey later. Mordant, Rise, and Ventus have already been."

"How was Rise? Stubborn?" Terron knew that butting heads with Rise might be unavoidable.

"Not as hard as I thought. I think I used a little too much force and hurt her a little. But I gave plenty of reasons not to separate from Genesis. It could be good. It all depends on what she thinks after a while. Ventus said she would speak with her later." Terron just stayed silent. He was more like a stone wall than anything making Walker feel slightly awkward."

The sound of running snapped Walker's attention behind him. When he turned around he found that Midnight was in dragonkin form and had already opened her arms to tackle him. "You know I will have to begin trying to dodge if you do that every time." The laughter was enough to make Midnight know that Walker didn't actually feel bad about it though.

"Show him what you have worked on." Terron looked at Midnight carefully. This brought more curiosity to Walker's eyes.

Midnight became serious and looked at Walker with seriousness…"Brrrother."
