Master Of None

Chapter 531 - 531. Capital City

The king had moved his hand to his bearded chin and was trying to think of a proper response but could not found it. "I lack the words to express the amount of surprise I feel. How long have there been other monsters reaching this point?" 

They were not sure they would receive a proper response from Scylla since it seemed like this information was delicate. However, Scylla readily replied, "It has been for about seven years. For some reason, the harpy queen came out of nowhere and flew directly to the main coliseum to speak with the king. She had figured out she was not demi-human and fully a monster. Her intelligence was enough to make any harpy that did not mindlessly attack others a protected species that was guided to our kingdom."

"That explains why we have seen a decrease in the harpy migration every year. They used to stop in the forest to hunt and rest but now they are so rare that we could go all year without seeing one." The queen had worried over this change and believed that it was another monster starting to go extinct. 

"I have a friend with a very intelligent harpy as their tamed monster. However, it is better to call them sisters since that is how they act. I fully believe that they can have the intelligence to stand as their own race as well." Walker was recalling his time with the three tamers he was lucky enough to call friends. 

"We do not believe it to be a common occurrence for a monster species to suddenly become more intelligent. I doubt monsters like orcs, rabid crabs, or horned rabbits will ever be able to do this. I think it is the similarities to other intelligent races that put them aside. A harpy is similar to a demi-human so much so that we have confused them as demi-humans before." 

Scylla's words made sense. There were some monsters that could be confused as demi-human or in some cases as humans themselves. The more intelligent they were the more they seemed to gain forms close to humans. Even the ancient dragons which had massive and powerful forms were known to have human forms. 

"Then we may have more than just the goblins tom narcissist. I believe uniting and protecting these future races should be a large part of the alliance here." The queen spoke her own thoughts on the matter. "The goblins were once a step away from being their own race. Now they are once again on that path. I would like to live in a world with more such races." 

This was information that the elves would die for. They would record this phenomenon in their records to immortalize it for generations. They would search the entire world to find these growing races and do whatever they need to let them rise. 

"Kroll thinks, we should help and not beat new races. We want meet more like us." Kroll was slowly understanding that he would not be alone in this groundbreaking path. He wanted to meet these others that had started to rise as well. 

"You all know that there is a massive stretch of land with nothing on it. There is an intersection right here where the forest, the plains, and the human kingdom intersect. What uif that spot became the future of the alchemy guild, the rising races, and the heart of trade for every single nation?" Walker suddenly placed a finger on the map bringing this idea up. 

"You would like us to create a city together?" The elf queen was wide eyed at this proposal. 

"Leader sees this as a way to better create a future linking the three kingdoms. If all of you accept this there will be an everlasting bond. Not three kingdoms but one kingdom with three founding cities and a capital city." Su spoke making the three even more consumed by Walker's previous words. The only one that was behind was Kroll and Ventus who soon caught on and showed equal amazement. 

"I can not say anything for sure, but in my opinion, there would also be a grand coliseum for our tournaments. We would be able to share knowledge with our most promising young warriors!" Scylla saw this possibility and wanted to start building at that moment. "Actually. Can we please take another intermission for me to send all this to my king? He will want to make his stance open this heard. I believe it to be of the utmost importance."

"Please do. I think everyone should take a moment to think. Walker looked to Kroll, Ventus, and the elf queen. "I also believe the queen will want to speak to her neighbors in the forest," Walker said this while he also watched Scylla rush to the side of the room and sent many messages with the little crystal balls. 

"I believe this will change everything…" The king came out of a daze and said this while looking around the room. This meeting had been going on for longer than they knew. But one thing was clear. That the three kingdoms would be stronger than ever before if they all moved forward with this. The humans were not specialized in anything. They instead spent their time on tactics, strategy, and growth. The demi-humans were more of a physical powerhouse with low magic knowledge. The elves were masters of magical and natural mana. 

The three would balance each other and give birth to a brand new future that no one had ever seen coming. This decision was not small and was taking precedence over all others. So much so that if it did pass the other races would be forced to recognize and send representatives to make new treaties and trade agreements. This was no small matter.
