"The trip was a little slow because we needed to bring so many guards and others with us. It was a pain but they are trusted and were hand selected toe here and join the other guards. I heard that the enforcers from the forest elf city are also here. Once the three mix it will be nice having a tactical human mind, tough demi-human front line, and a sharp shooter elf archer." Scy had already been through a lot of joint battle tactics while traveling. They were ideal for wars and battle in general. She had decided she would be focusing on the adventurer''s guild in an attempt to build the perfectly bnced party she had in mind. It was sounding like her own personal project.


    "I bet ra will let you try to mentor some adventurers if you offer to teach sses of some sort. A lot of the guilds will have a ss system where younger people cane to learn. If the colosseum gets built you should work that in to it somehow." Walker was trying to curve some of Scys'' energy in to a positive outlet so she wouldn''t run wild.


    "That''s a good idea. I knew you were interesting. Who cares about all the magic stuff. You cane and work with the swords and other weapons with me." Walker had walked right in to this one and he didn''t look to have a way out.


    "That''s if you can steal him away. There''s so much to do that we might not have a free minute for weeks." Remey had dark circles under her eyes from working in the alchemy guild and helping build the grounds around it. She had received the help from the master herbalists that the elves brought with them. They had used most of their mana to create the small forest that was the forest elf park. But they still had the energy when it came to the alchemy guild.


    Seeing that Remey wascking in energy, Walker used a light heal spell on her to improve her drowsiness if only a little. "Remey, you should make sure you are properly rested. I bet you mana is almost zero." Su had already guessed the problem and Remey couldn''t turn away the mana potion Walker was handing her. She hadn''t wanted to admit that she was too tired.


    "I get why she is tired. I was busy setting up the archery academy idea you shared with me the other day. It is going way better than I thought. Alma already had two enforcers with archery mastery volunteers. Apparently, in the forest elf city, it is better to find a mentor, and general skills are learned through doing. It works for them but not for everyone. They were pretty happy to have a new archery range and to be able to take more than just a handful of apprentices." Gil had equally been upte and managed to get Remey to teach him some of the governing paper work for an organization like an academy or her alchemy guild.


    "That means you need to rest too!" Walker shoved a mana potion in to Gil''s hands while he felt Midnight tug in his clothing. "And a snack for you too. I know I can''t hide it from you. Here." Walker had grabbed some of the smoked chicken from the kitchen. His mother had been experimenting with different things she could bake to sell in her new bakery shop. The smoked and dried chicken was one of them.


    "Those herbalists and out farmers paired up. They had some good ideas for increasing food production. Not that the food will be grown herepletely. The city will rely heavily on trade. But that means everyone will want to support it and send goods here. The dwarves might lose some business."Scy found it fairly amusing that the Genesis city would shape up to outperform the dwarves in marketing.


    "I drag myself up to the surface for the first time in years just to hear some sphemy about trade leaving my city? I work hard to mine that ore." The king of the deep caves was wearing a very shiny silver armor and standing in front of the Genesis building with five royal guards wearing matching armor. They were the same guards that had apanied Walker while he was in the city and the deep caves.


    "Well, we are d that you were able toe to the surface. I thought you would still be busy mining silver." It was clear that the king of the deep caves was ufortable being on the surface.


    "Ha, we had that mined out in a week. Not it''s a personal training area for my new pet." The party knew exactly what he was talking about but they chose not to borate since they heard ra calling for them from inside. "It sounds like you should go in there. I know everyone will be in soon. I just wanted to admire the foundations. It was made deep in the ground to resist strong winds. Very good craftsmanship. The root design with our pir formations is ingenious."


    The party could tell that the dwarven kings would be impressed with the city and that they were already a part of the alliance whether they admitted it or not. Their heavy investment by sending architects and golems to build the city was evidence of this.


    "Walker, I need you to go and greet the merfolk representative. They are just entering the city now. The rest of you cane to the meeting room. We will be starting as soon as we can get everyone settles." ra had taken the job of getting everyone in one ce. If Walker needed to go and greet someone he didn''t have a problem with it.


    "I will be right back." Walker started to head out but Midnight tagged along behind him. For some reason so did Su. Neither of them seemed to have a reason but Walker could feel a slight pull in their bonds with each other.
