The most unexpected thing for Midnight to find was right before her eyes, "I''ve tested this a few times and there are still failures. What could be wrong." Mordant was sitting perplexed in front of the stove. Midnight looked at him like she was seeing a crazy person.


    "Hm? I see you are awake. I was attempting to create the meal from the other day but unfortunately, the tools here seem to be in poor condition." This single phrase was enough for Midnight to growl severely. She was sure that Hilda would not care who or what was saying her kitchen was not good. She would go at them and kick them out in an instant.


    "Why do you say that I am the problem? Are you challenging me?" Mordant wasn''t sure what was going on. He had copied what he thought had ha[pened ande out with nothing but charred meat. Now he was assuming that Midnight was going against him instead of listening to what she really meant.


    The growls turned in to small roars that made Mordant wonder what was wrong. Slowly but surely it seemed that Midnight was going through. Morand began to look at the oven and back at here quickly before he stopped. "That was made using specific skills. I see, that''s why I have been unable to replicate it. I thought Ignus was able to roast meat just because he had me breath. To think he may have some cooking skills. strange." In the end, Midnight didn''t see the point to continue to argue. She just shook her head and went toward the pantry where she knew some leftovers were stored.


    "Aha! A secret hiding space that even I couldn''t smell. A wise choice for when you want something else to eat." The challenges of human housing were not something that Mordant had expected to face. He would often have people bringing things to him instead of him having to go and get them. Combined, the two hurdles appeared to be too much for him.


    After the pair demolished a decent sized b of leftover roasted giant ant steaks, Mordant looked at Midnight. "I could not seem to find Walker within your home. I assume he has ventured out in to the streets. Should we leave to find him?" Since Midnight was Walker''s champion, Mordant knew that she had a sense of where he would be even without being told by him. It was part of the bond that all champions would have with their royals.


    Since Mordant was able to remain within his dragonkin form seemingly indefinitely, she decided to move about in the same form. It would be a good test for her since she would need to be able to do the same in the future. Especially when she wasrger than most people. It would break her heart to be unable toe inside and eat with everyone, it was her favorite time of the day.


    Those on the street didn''t react poorly to seeing the dragonkin form of Mordant and Midnight wandering about. They were actually happy. Many had gossiped about the dragons joining hands with Genesis. Mordant walking about was proof that they had done so and would help them grow. The power of a dragon would not be underestimated.


    "Are those the potions thate from the alchemy guild?" Mordant saw a stall selling a variety of potions." Midnight nodded and walked over to examine them. "I see, they have multiple affinity potions. All low tier but this sign says more can be purchased directly from the guild of high quality." The merchant selling the potion had posited the sign showing his affiliation with the alchemy guild. It had special rune carvings to ensure that it was real and the potions could be vouched for. The alchemy guild had taken to putting the unique rune formation on every vial that left so that they could back the safety and quality of every potion.


    This idea hade mostly for the sake of the demi-humans. They had suffered enough under the harm of cursed items. There would not be a need for them to worry now, meaning that they would have another healing method for injuries when worse came to worse or someone was harmed in the coliseums.


    "If I manage to get some high quality potions then I may be able to use them for my other needs." The thoughts of convincing the other royal dragons to trade for affinity potions were too tempting. Mordant had never really stood on top of the other dragons and wanted to have the chance.


    Feeling that there wouldn''t be any good of this, Midnight tried to steer Mordant away from the alchemy guild, unfortunately, he managed to win out and was walking through the front door before there was anything she could do. There were too many bustling people inside trying to get inline for potions or to drop off materials. It was chaos.


    "I told Walker I would act as an equal, however, we are still well above the masses. This is a beneficial trade for the entire city. I can provide many materials for many guilds in trade." Mordant walked right to the front. Very few had the courage to say anything, and those that did felt a re from Midnight who knew that if Mordant was angered there would be nothing good toe with it.


    "Sir, you must wait in line with everyone else. It is only fai- I see, wee esteemed guest. We will have the guild master prepare their office for you. Please, right this way." Midnight showed off the que with her identification on it. Seeing that she was a member of Remey''s party was enough for the staff member to put the puzzle pieces together and change her tone. It was some quick thinking.
