Master Of None

The feeling that Neil was a good man was even stronger. Walker had decided this because Neil had made a logical and thought out decision. Faced with the fact that Walker and everyone that had come with him was clearly more powerful than his village, Neil should have been on edge. It made sense. However, Neil had calmed himself and thought properly.

There were risks, yes, there would always be risks. Yet, Neil saw that Walker and his people could help them immensely. If this meant that they would take on risk, then so be it. Those around him were the people entrusted to him to care for in this project.

Just because Neil and the others would receive help would not mean that they were tossing aside their citizenship as Rize empire citizens. It was just that they were making a diplomatic choice to ally with them and begin communications for their people. It also meant that they might have a safer and better place to grow.

​ Walker made a point to explain that he and his people wanted to set up a small place for them to dock their ships. That being said, this would make the village a seaside village with a harbor. The coral that had plagued so many ships and lives through the wars was now going to be a protective barrier. Monsters, ships, and other things like stroma would be held off. An ideal situation.

The further that Neil pursued this in his mind, the more potential that he saw. It was all a great chance for growth, both as an individual and as a village. Walker also saw this and grind even more. He had helped them a little and shown off what they could do easily. Yes, he still felt that there was fear around, but they could take time to scare that off. Fear was there due to uncertainty. As long as everyone did their best and was transparent then these villagers would understand them better.

"Who is that? That is now one of our village's children…" Neil saw a smaller figure joining the kids playing. But he soon saw the scaly wings and the smaller horns on its head.

"That's Midnight. She can change in to her dragonkin form if she wants. It was probably easier to play that way. Just watch out, she likes good food so she might try and steal some snacks. Onyx might be able to do that one day and take a humanoid form, but we don't know enough about his race. He really hopes he can though. I do too." Walker felt that it was a very high chance that Onyx would find a skill like this. Onyx just seemed to have this kind of luck.

"Only the strongest and cruelest wyverns can do that… or the queen of the wyverns can do that. That's what I have heard. How powerful are these dragons? They really are dragons?" Neil was accepting it much more. His questions didn't even need to be answered. However, Walker managed to get another good piece of information from Neil about the wyverns.

They had a queen. They had powerful members that could take other humanoid forms as the dragons could. This meant that some of them might have some sentient thought in comparison to what Walker knew them as. But it all depended on their strength. Would a very powerful wyverns even care about the sentient thoughts and emotions? Wouldn't it just be the same as the rest of its kind and maintain it's emotional and hatred for dragonkin and dragons? It was all too hard to speculate.

"Gil, can you take a break and go get the others from the ships? Terron could help make this village much larger so they can build some better homes. The dwarves might also want to come and start building too." Walker shouted and Gil perked his head up from a group of four other hunters. They were all immersed in hearing about the bow and how they could better use it.

"Sure thing! Let me just finish showing them how to make an impromptu bow out of a birch tree sapling!" Gil had managed to find the hunters that had just started learning in the village. It made sense that those with hunter systems would be sent here. Especially the hunters that were less experienced due to the danger here.

With that shout, a few elves also walked out of the tree line around the village. The same was said for two of Mordant's dragonkin. "You can all help too. We are going to help them establish their village so that they won't worry about monsters and losing their homes. They will be helping us make this our port village too." Walker gave them the order, Mordant's dragonkin were more than happy to follow a royal dragon's order while the elves thought this was great since they wanted Alma to be safer. Building this village a little would make it safer for her. She was a future queen after all.

"Elise, you didn't even give me time. I saw you and Stella hiding for the whole time we were here." Walker looked right up toward a tree and Neil's jaw dropped again. He felt that he might have to wire it shut if he wanted to be able to keep his calm. He hadn't even heard the flapping of wings as two beings had hidden so close.

"Walker! We were here to protect you. We were definitely protecting you." Elise leaped from the tree and landed in front of Walker. Stella flew down too and landed right in front of Neil who was even more lost wondering what Stella was.

"This is Elise, she is a representative of the tamer's guild from our continent. This is Stella, she is technically a tamed monster but is truly Elise's sister. They grew up together and were together until this very moment. They even helped a bit in the harpies becoming their own race instead of just monsters. The world even recognized it. I'm sure that the world let you know too." Walker saw realization hit Neil.

"How much of what the world has blessed us with have you witnessed?" This was a sudden and a hard questions. But Walker knew that Neil had started to grasp the true strength behind Walker's group.

"The goblins, harpies, changes in elemental manas, elemental spirits, and a few other changes might be related to us." Walker was a little embarrassed since bragging like this was more rude than anything.

"Don't think that Walker is messing with you. He and his family have done a lot more than just that. He is a founder of Genesis. I'm sure he will explain a lot more about how he stopped wars, brought races together, and even caused many races to put aside differences to make massive break throughs in their understanding of mana and knowledge in general." Elise didn't hold much back. It Was just what she had seen and believed.

"I am in over my head…I've been buried." Neil just mumbled while Elise and Stella looked at him. Stella seemed more interested in Neil since he had wings that were pure white with green tinges. Her wings were much different since they were colored more similarly to brown at the moment because of the season and her natural features.

"It's not that bad. You will start to catch on as we go. It's your village right? I mean, that's what I assume." Elise realized that she had just inadvertently admired that she had seen everything and not just the protecting lie she told.

"I can't say I've caught on yet. I'm not used to it at all and I'm stuck in the middle of it all." Walker wanted to laugh but he felt that way much more than usual lately. He was literally standing on a continent far from home. It made him wonder just how far he was going to go in adventuring, in life in life in general.

It was only a short while before Neil heard the commotion of others coming over. The dwarves in their golems were stunning. Such mechanical creations were not normal. But every single angel felt the mana flowing through them and saw the weight of the materials they carried.

"This is a village? I'll have my builders and blacksmiths start properly here. You need workshops, homes, storage cellars, hell! You need everything." The king of the surface relished this. He had a lot to plan and strategize. First and foremost he planned to set up a patrol parameter.

Things were going to move fast. Especially since the dragonkin and other soldiers were prepared to build an easily defendable camp. The Main focus of defense was against the wyvern threat.
