"I will do more than just send your letter. I will put in a personal recommendation. I have been watching you and your family since you arrived. I do not see any reason to fight against you and I have been alive for long enough to become an elder. I like to believe I can judge someones' character by now. " Adair was impressed by the depth of thought that the party and the other races had put in to a new city. It was even better that it would be a dragon village because it could be seen as a boon for them. However, there was also the chance it could become a frowned upon happening. But the fact that Walker was considered a royal fixed that. Royals were absolute. "Thank you very much. I am very grateful. Midnight and I are very excited to see what the main dragon village will look like. I am sure we will find too many things for us to learn in just a short time visiting there. Luckily we have plenty of time to prepare. I will have ornate armor for myself and if Midnight wants it maybe she will have it. But she can make her own armor so may e not." Walker was referring to Midnight's bone armor skill that created armor of bones from the ones she had eaten. Any armor would just get in the way of that skill. "Ah, yes. Skeletal dragon skills. I see. Then she should use that skill consistently while in the main village. It will show off her strength. I would actually recommend training it to be on all the time. A skill like that will make her stand out above the other dragons." Adair was sure that more than just one royal would be able to see this. "You should also be ready to stand in the air constantly. It will make you appear to have an endless mana pool. The royals might struggle to do such things after hours or maybe days. But if a human manages to constantly stand in the air with a skill, well, they will have to respect you more." This was a little touchy advice since Adair was telling Walker to outright do something to butt heads with the royals. "I will begin to train more as soon as I am back. Midnight on the other hand...well, she can wait too." Walker saw that Midnight was in no shape to begin harsh training. She had eaten way too much food and was forcing herself to eat a few bones so that she could get stronger. If she could not use her skills to process food the way she could, she would be a fat little dragon by now. "I hate to say this, but I believe that Illia has just finished preparing to escort you home. She has prepared a package of what was promised to you all with a few things from the treasure room from me. It should help your little alchemy guild to grow. I might even send my villages alchemists there to explore." Adair hinted this to Remey who became wide eyed and fidgeting with excitement. "Those arrows you made with the honorable grand spirit were very impressive. Even I would feel some pin pricks from that." Adair was very tough at her age and level. But Gil's arrow used very potent wind elemental mana and could give her what was akin to a paper cut to a human. It was an impressive feat for someone at his level and age. "My warriors wish to see you again in the training area. Shield users are rare and you have broadened their minds with new style ideas. New people to train with are very rare and usually happens every few years. I was also told that you have a knack for the defensive skills in the book I gave you, please keep it. I would much rather see it going to good use." Su was quick to give a slight bow. She didn't want to show how happy she was to be praised and able to keep the book she had not finished reading yet. "I never expected to meet an abyssal serpent again. It is rare for your species to roam around and have such high intelligence. I hope that you can follow the heroic actions of your family and avoid the false myths about your species. Maybe one day you will bring them back to a state where they could become a race. I do not know much about your species but I do know that you may live close to the same age as I will." Adair left that with Onyx which was a very large surprise for him since he didn't think he had been noticed.
"There is also something for your forging. I hope to see the armor you make the new lord." The wandering blacksmith placed a hand over his heart and bowed. He had appeared before those with higher status before and found that this was an appropriate thank you. If he refused he knew that the worst could befall him. "Shay, please escort these guests to the edge of the village." Adair grew serious and looked at Walker. She stood and bowed her head. "Lord, I thank you from the depths of my heart for your enlightening visit. I hope to see you well when we next meet." This was a proper goodbye and Walker was sure to memorize it.
"Your hospitality was welcome. I have seen your village and feel it is up to standard. I will visit yet again Adair." The acting came back in to effect before Walker and the party left with the same formation they came in with. However, Onyx and the wandering blacksmith were behind Walker this time. Adair just smiled as she felt that her race might just start to open up and look at those beneath them for once in their history. ….. ….
