Master Of None

Chapter 526 - 526. Impasse

"This will not be an issue with my kingdom. The crafters there do not know of spirits in such away. I have also never had a form of spirit system in the kingdom to my knowledge. If we have, they most likely left to pursue a better environment. I Can easily uphold this." The king was worried though, he knew that the dwarves used these methods often and even went out hunting for elemental spirits to add to their various crafted items.Â

"The kingdom of Ordist does not rely on such things as well. We rely on physical strength and battle prowess. Our craftsman have not used spirits but instead, use fires created by various monster trait demi-humans or monsters themselves." Scylla was referencing the crafting methods that the party had seen. Walker was still mesmerized by the crafting with dragon fire. Even with his experience with Midnight, it was only a small act in comparison.Â

Walker realized that this would mean the dwarves could almost be completely banned from the elf city as a whole. "I believe the dwarves do not leave their kingdom often. However, if they are to express interest in the city it should be an agreement reached with them and not a law keeping them from here completely."Â

Walker said this because if it was a law from the start then the dwarves may completely toss aside the idea that the elves and them should be allies. Simply because anyone who is told that the majority of their people are not allowed to do something could rebel.

"I believe this will be an issue that should be spoken of when we are able to get one of the dwarven kingdoms' rulers here. From my memory, they currently have three kings who rule different factions. The ruler of the surface. The ruler of the depths, and the ruler of the people. They all work as a joint council to expand their people and kingdom." The king spoke sharing this common knowledge just in case the elf queen had not been fully up to date during the period of time the city was closed.Â

"This is a law that has long been [art of my peoples' culture. We believe that the spirits are the closest beings to natural mana and the world. If one is harmed by being forced in to one of their golems or in to a weapon it is a sin." The elf queen did not want to budge on this. She wanted to have another ally but within her city here many spirits lived in peace, she did not want to ruin it.

"It sounds as if we may need more information on the dwarves... Possibly a meeting to first establish what would be their standing and what these spirit craftsmen do. We may not know everything we need to lay down our judgment." The king had the feeling that he was missing something in all of this.Â

"I agree that we do not have a full strategy. Without the proper information, we could be signing off on many failures." Scylla saw this as a war fought in ignorance. Top her, judging the dwarves completely and not accepting their craftsman would be foolish.Â

"Then we need to find the information. Until I am told otherwise I will not allow their spirit craftsmen anywhere near our kingdoms' spirits." The queen took her stance, but Walker was glad to see that she would be able to be reasoned with.Â

"We are planning a quest to the dwarven kingdom. There were purple slimes here that caused significant damage. We also know there were yellow slimes there that posed a similar threat." Su chimed in making all three of them fall in to deep thought.Â

"Then the heroes can not only look to assist the dwarves but extend an invitation for further meetings. They may stay hidden within their under ground city. But if they bring their golem armies they could more than protect the borders."The king saw this as an even better way to solidify the safety of all people and work toward their goals.

"I agree. Let the heroes take the lead while we move forward here." Scylla had no sooner agreed than there was a sudden roar from the other room.Â

"Leader, Midnight sounds like she has had to be strict with some of those speaking." Su knew well that some of the talks could become heated. Midnight was acting as she should but it was still worrisome for them to not be there and see what was going on.Â

"I believe the three of us should take a moment to breathe and think on what we desire to come of this in the end. The matter with the dwarves and demons is already settled. All that is left is when the merchants from the demi-human kingdom will come when we wish to have an adventurers guild open, and when we will send out our own merchants. Please check on your party members' situation."Â

The queen needed time to think and this was the perfect chance to do so. "And we can speak about a grand tournament to foster and show off our kingdoms' young growth." Scylla had an excited grin as Walker left the room.Â

"Su, please keep watch on them while I am gone. If they try to move forward do what you must." Walker knew Su could just taunt them as a distraction or even wors place her shields between them and use other applicable skills to interrupt their conversation. However, he still knew that they were bound by their promise to a mediator. This should keep things on even and safe ground without him even there.Â

Walker turned his attention to the hall where he knew all the other conversations were taking place. His fear that a large disagreement had caused Midnight to take action was at the front of his mind.Â
