"Why is it that there are many dragonkin warriors here eating as well? Shouldn''t they be training? I thought they would be learning new things?" Rise saw a group of dragonkin from different viges together. They were all gathered around a single food stall.


    "They need to eat to build up muscle. They were also training against each other. Many of our dragonkin that have returned have begun to contest against each other." Current had seen many of his dragonkin warriors branch out. He was very happy to see it because it would cause them to learn more.


    "And you ept that? They will lose their pure styles. They will be unable to show what a true water dragonkin can do."


    "Rise, do you not remember that Walker and I visited your vige?" Mordant looked at Rise who was clearly missing something. "He saw the fading de skills that your dragonkin warriors use. Not only did he learn it but he was able to show it off to the light elves. Now the elves are very interested in sharing their skills with the dragonkin warriors. Specifically, those that use simr skills to themselves."


    "What Mordant is saying in a nutshell, is that they will be able to develop a higher style of battle after they see other race''s skills. It means that they will be much stronger in battle and improve the skills they already have to defeat more opponents of varying strengths." Walker made sure to close up the argument that Mordant had for why this was all a good thing.


    "I will be the judge of that. If I see anyone losing something I will be sure to cease their foolishness." Rise had eaten some food and been annoyed that she did not have the same things served to her when she was home. However, she had also made other silent decisions.


    As they walked, Rise had seen the multitude of goods. Specifically, the many elemental crystals that were being handed out to buyers. Many of them were split up by quality and brought directly from other kingdoms. It was enough for her to wonder just how she could get ahold of pure elemental crystals. How could she justify using these markets?


    Another thing that was wearing on Rise was that the entire city was now covered by the aura of the mage tower. Mana recovery was increased. She even saw some younger newborn elemental spirits moving around trying to be stinger. This entire city was more than she had expected.


    "You arrived during the celebration with the elves yesterday. We just happened to unite the elves. The light elves specifically had the option toe here or not. They do not have a ce to live yet within the city. Alma was going to work on that. Along with the stone, dark, and wind elves. Your input could be very valuable for the light elves." Walker did not hide that he wanted to see what Rise had to say.


    "Since we are nearby I can educate a few lower races." Mordant and Current were very surprised to see how far Rise was going with this. They had no idea that she was easily manipted if she was asked for help and advice. It appeared that she enjoyed being seen as the all knowing powerful dragon. The pride of light that came from the highest point of the sky was clear in her personality.


    The elves were still very busy and active since the other day. There was a smile on nearly every single elf''s face that they saw. Rise had never felt such an atmosphere. Her dragonkin vige was always full of seriousness and focus. But something about the way the atmosphere in the elven area made her want to stay there.


    "Walker!" The shout from the trees came from Gil. he had a group of wind elves with him who quickly followed him as he jumped from branch to branch.


    "Gil? I thought you were an elf training up there. Since when are you so good at moving through the trees?" There was a definite skill to Gil''s footwork. It had toe from him spending time with the elves and learning the ways of the arcane archers. The wind elves had a very different use of their arcane archer skills.


    "You''re just saying that. We were actually working on how we move through the stress while trying to make arrows at thest minute. It concurred to me that have neglected my training because I usually just make arrows out of wind if I would run out. But what if I need to make a specific arrow in a rush?" Gil brought up a good point.


    "It''s the same when I learned to make a rough sword out of earth. It''s not the best but it can be used to defend myself a few time." The two bonded over their like minds. "Ehm, well, this is the light royal dragon Rise. I know you saw her yesterday but now you can meet her."


    "It is very nice to officially meet you. Walker was very set on going to your vige and building a connection. I am d you made it here." Gil was very polite. He could feel the judgment in Rise''s eyes. "I am Gil, a member of Walker''s adventuring party. But we are family as far as I am concerned. I also represent the elves to a degree and have the hero title as well. We share a few other titles but they are not that important. Well, I am also the avatar of the wind."


    "I have heard of you since being here. I wonder if the elves know that dragons have impable hearing. You are the human that has taken the same position of highly respected elves. The human that is destined to marry the future elf queen." Rise had not actually heard much specific information. However, she had heard a popr rumortely.


    "Marry!? I am too young to marry anyone. That would. Even if Alma loved…well…"


    "And you managed to pick up on a rumor that is not entirely true. Gil and Alma only work together. It''s not like-"


    "Walker, stop that. You know that." Gil covered his mouth after catching himself. He was about to say way too much in front of three royal dragons and his brother Walker. It would have been a mess of rumors after the public heard it too.


    "And now we know how to properly tease one of the elves'' representatives." Mordantughed deeply. He found the situation very amusing. Rise just looked confused before returning to her silent stare.


    "We came to see the ns for the light elf dwellings. We brought a fellow royal dragon to assist. Since Mordant is here he can also help with the dark elf dwellings." Current change the topic perfectly. He was sure that Walker and Gil would appreciate the expedited movement of their goals here.


    "Yes, that is perfect. Terron is already helping the stone elves. He decided that he would want a mansion built where other earth dwelling beings were. The elves have the earth spirits around them the most other than the dwarves so he went with them. He also said he could build better than them. Very stubborn but true." Gil trailed off. He had an interesting conversation with Terron and wasn''t sure what to think of it all.


    "The dark elves and the light elves will be near each other. They are opposite elemental affinities but that''s why they are close. The idea is to make the manas oppose each other and help the fire and water elemental mana move in tandem. Darkness can be cold while light can be hot. It''s simr to the ancient library we found in the demon capital."


    "You are using the so called origin runes. The runes that are somehow better than the draconic runes that have stood above all else for many years?" This judging gaze from Rise made Gil wonder if she was actually going to help at all.


    "Many of the elves have grasped the concept of the origin runes. Not enough to use them but enough to set up areas properly. When those with proper knowledge master the origin rines, then the builders can create mana gathering runes arrays. It will be better than the ancient cities they came from."


    "I see, and the area would be simr to the elemental floor in your mage tower?" Rise getting much more information than Walker, Mordant, or Current expected her to gather. It was as if she was truly interested in such a thing.


    "The goal is to have denser light elemental mana there while giving light elemental materials a ce to grow naturally. It will help the alchemy guild and the elves that live there. It would be the perfect environment for any light affinity beings." This was what Gil was proudest to say. He didn''t realize that Rise was thinking something else.
