1978 1978. Next Day's Plans While the family of three ate, the party did so as well. However, the wandering blacksmith had pulled Gil aside to show off the layered ring once it had been finished. As Gil looked at the enhanced polishing and artistic rune formations, he could only be amazed by it more. It was something that he had not even been able to imagine the real look of what he wanted to give to Alma on the fateful day of their union.
While some would say they were too young, the accomplishments, levels, and general fact that marriage was already acceptable at the age of sixteen. The entire party had been together for a decent length of time now. They had birthdays pass and go during their adventures. The seasons had changed around them, but they had moved to different continents, naturally, they had missed some things in that time.
Regardless, the runes that Gil saw were perfectly carved and even had small mana gem shards added to fill the space. Each had been polished and set ideally. He was more amazed to see that the manas being drawn in were different.
When Walker used the all around appraisal to check it, he easily grasped what was shocking Gil so much.
'Grand layered ring
This ring has multiple layers of unique materials that are incredibly important to the bond of two people. Only those two hold the emotional value in the materials this ring is made out of. However, the high class embellishments added improved the message along with the lower skilled forging of young blacksmiths.
The rune carvings on each material and layer were different due to the high class skills of the wandering blacksmith.
There as a small light mana gathering formation to draw in light that would be used in plant growth.
There is a small wind rune formation to allow air for plant growth.
There is a small water rune formation so that there can be water mana drawn in to assist plant growth.
There is a small earth rune formation to assist the earth mana needs of a growing plants.
These rune formations all intersect creating a partial natural rune formation. This is why fire mana was added to the mana gem shards that are embedded within this ring. Therefore, natural mana is slowly created in small amounts to allow the wearer to utilize a boosting effect to all plant based attacks, growth, and defenses that they use. It is the perfect match for someone that relies on plants to survive.'
Seeing that this had surpassed that of a normal ring, Walker was incredibly impressed. He could tell that Gil's smile would only grow as he understood more about the limits and uses that this ring had. Even the bits of wood used within the ring made everyone that looked at it feel that it might burst to life and change forms to become a great tree. n-/o-.v-)ε)-L-/b(-1).n
Regardless, when the wandering blacksmith and Gil had finished speaking, Walker was sure that there would be more to do in the future. The wandering blacksmith wanted to grasp the right forging techniques and methods to be able to create a changing armor. The shifting armor that Midnight would wear might be the future armor for all demi-humans and dragons.
The idea that such a large change might occur during his lifetime made Walker wonder just what they would look like.
For the youngest of dragons, it would mean that they were safer. They would be able to change their forms at a younger age as they grew up in Genesis and learned more. That was already something that everyone began to think about whether they believed it or not.
But when it came to the safety aspect, Walker knew that it would be when they went outside Genesis or when they challenged places like the coliseum that was having additional construction to be ready for a grand wedding in just a short time away.
The demi-humans were a challenge for this as well. Many of them had monster or animal traits. This was the reason for the shifting armor creation. They had to wear armor that could handle when they brought out the most in their skills.
For example, a wolf traited demi-human could often have skills that brought out their claws or their teeth. Some of them even gained extra muscle or at most, could use a skill called werewolf which was a transformation that got them confused for being a werewolf monster. During that, they would be unable to wear armor that they had before because it would harm their bodies because their bodies would be larger.
Therefore, if a shifting armor was made, they would be more protected in battle. This would make coliseum battles much harder and last longer. But more than that, it would mean that battles and wars coming up would be safer. Especially for those that gained strength by changing their forms in some ways,..
This could also be used for the tamer's guild. Many people would forget that they had some abilities to change their form as well. Clearly, they had not met tamer's like Elise who could mimic the form of a harpy because she was literally raised with Stella as a sister.
Many of the other tamers could meld with their beast or even share blood to change their forms. It was an entirely new realm of knowledge that Walker had not yet managed to understand. Mostly because there were many prerequisites to skills within the tamer's systems.
"This will be the exact thing that will make Alma cry or stunned in to silence. I know that's weird to say, but it's exactly what I think will happen." Gil felt that he had taken a massive weight off his shoulders by doing this. It was a major part of what he needed to do for him to fulfill a human contribution to the wedding.
"Walker, I will need your help with the other half of what I need. Part of the elf traditions for a bond like this means I need to live for a full day in the wilderness forests. What I am saying is, I need you to help me get to the forest from here and take all my stuff. I have to do it with my own ability." this came out of nowhere, but with what Gil was focused on, Walker understood.
Gil was looking to have everything he needed to properly marry Alma in his human traditions and also in the elven traditions. Things that would be hard for the average person, but since Gil was willing to stand for the elves as their hero who united their race yet again, it was just one step he had to take.
"Then I guess that means when we finish up here I will be busy. Su, Alice, can you two handle helping Alma? I know that there are usually a few things that a bride might need." Walker was going to tell Midnight too, but from what he could see, she was too focused on the future armor she may have.
"Brother, I will find Remey and ensure that she is ready to be present at such an occasion. I know that she has worked too hard the last few days." Onyx spoke up for something that Walker was going to rush back here to do anyways. Therefore, it was a very big help overall. It was something that the entire party worried over.
It wasn't that they knew Remey did not care. But with her walking a new and dangerous path alongside Ignus, there was some fear. Fear that she would be unable to be there and keep the mana in her body balanced. Especially with the fact that she was not at all a dragon.
"Then I guess we will leave you here for the time being. You will be fine?" Walker saw the wandering blacksmith smile.
"I will attend the event as well." This was proof that the wandering blacksmith valued them more than just his forging. He had a love for the forge and the discoveries he had made. But, he had found connections with the party at levels well above any others he had in life so far.
"And we will wait to hear how your potential apprentice does." Walker and the party gave a wave as they left. The family of three were having their own moment while they finished their food. But the wandering blacksmith did not frown when he looked over at Allison and her family. Instead, his eyes glinted with a small bit of interest. Just enough that it was sure that he would be keeping a careful eye on what she would be doing. The entire party had a feeling that the wandering blacksmith had more planned than he let on.
