Master Of None-Chapter 1724 1724. Small Tests Of Values

"We should be having a delivery soon. You wanted to see the monsters we are dealing with, correct? Through a lot of effort, one of them was trapped for us to understand them. But we have been unable to gain much since they resist the light elemental manas we use to attack them. Even the weakest pawns of the mummies had too much resistance." The Fel empire's archangel surprised Walker and the others after they had stopped their conversations.

"You have one trapped and you have it coming here already?" This was not at all what Walker had expected from his meeting. He was sure that the empires would keep them at a ten foot distance for a while. Mostly because they were foreign and dangerous in their eyes.

"Yes, I communicated with one of my subordinates to have it brought from the research building we have near the desert. I believe that you are more interesting than you admit. I also wonder if you encountered many undead from your lands too? We have a few mages that specifically research the undead." Now that Walker could see the Fel empire archangel more clearly, he could tell that it was curiosity in his eyes.

The Rize empire believed in the elemental superiority of the natural elemental cycle. That was clear. However, the Fel empire believed in the minute and small details that were between them. They believed in the things that were not just part of that cycle and that expanded outward from it. That made up the very world that could cause the elemental cycle to exist.

One was the study of the cycle and one was the study of what caused the cycle. Two very similar but different things. It made Walker and the others wonder just what thoughts went through these angels' minds when they'd decided to go to war over these ideals. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

"I would take it that the Rize empire does not support this? Is it because it doesn't fit the natural ways of the mana you pride?" Alma saw that she had hit the nail on the head with this.

"These things are not as they should be. Studying them will just expand their abilities. I do not condone it but I am not one to force my ideals on the Fel empire. It would cause more battles than we desire right now."

"And the Fel empire will not force our research on the Rize empire. We also do not wish for more battles right now."

They all saw this exchange and the respect held in these words. The two empires had clearly learned from their issues and were forced to a hard stop in battles because of this. It was a strange stoppage that had resulted in their researchers turning backwards on themselves instead of them sharing knowledge.

"Well, maybe there are elemental magics that could help you combat the light elemental resistances. I have a white holy flame that can burn with light and fire elemental man. It won't burn me, but it will burn darkness and death mana." Walker showed the white flame off and the Fel empire archangel shook his head.

"We had a light priest with similar purifying abilities use skills of the same against them. They were too resistant to it and only weakened slightly. It took three days to defeat one of the weaker undead fodder that plagues the large expanses of desert these undead control." That didn't sound good. But Walker felt that he was already learning a lot about the empires.

"Fine, then we should check this out. Would you all like to join me?" Walker saw the royal dragon's interests. These were undead monsters with dragon blood in them. Humanoid monsters that had once had dragon blood in them, that had died and managed to somehow come back. It made them very curious as to how it happened but also brought up a lot of questions. Were there once dragons that also had manas outside of the elemental norms?

"Of course we will be seeing this. I believe that knowing enemies will lead to a much safer interaction. Knowledge is of course, power." Ventus made sure that she spoke before any of the other royal dragons. She wanted to be leading this endeavor since she would get a better view of everything. She had already played the long looking part of a mother so far. Making maps, seeing what is ahead, and even looking at the future were all a part of her character. A great balance to some of the other royal dragon's views.

"You wish to also see what your heritage did in the past?" The Rize empire archangel thought it funny that the dragons showed so much interest on something that was clearly going to be an insult to their current standing. he had already changed his views the more he looked at them and realized how different they were from the wyverns.

"Do you think that would not? We may share the value that you have for the past and wanting to know what has happened, however, we do believe that we are the current. We are the ones that are writing the current history. We guard our territory and expand it. We make a name for the dragon race as a whole. These things are small things that wish to tarnish it. Many have arrived and disappeared as time goes on." Rise glared down at the Rize archangel before looking away toward the Fel empire archangel. "Show us what's left of the dragons here. We might write their history in to the books."

"If you want to argue, go outside. I want to see them too. The others are also curious. We are going to be helping. We have to see a wyvern too if possible. I still have only seen some small remains." Walker knew that he and the rest of the party would do better learning what they could about these monsters.

The more information that he had from the all around appraisal the better. He and the others would be able to build a plan to take things down. But even more, they might be able to understand what the demon king was doing here. What power might be able to be taken from these monsters for himself?

"You want to see the body of a wyvern? That would take a little time but we do have them. They are not a useless monsters. Once defeated they have significant use in materials. That is why we did not hunt them heavily at first. It was a mistake we made as a race. Even the wyverns that snuck south were not killed. Their scales and horns are great materials. But they also were a mystery to us at first." The Rize archangel made it clear that not just his empire had let the wyverns live at first.

"That may be true, but we also didn't understand your plight. Just as you don't see ours until now. Because of them, you will see what we face and we should see what you face." the Fel archangel was using this to learn more about the Rize empire as well.

While both saw it as a way to get more information and gain the upper hand on an enemy, Walker saw it as a way to unite them through their troubles. The shared losses from their fights against monsters could bring them together. Then add in the joint effort with Genesis to defeat the demon king…it could lead to a real joining of races that expanded across continents.

However, that was for later. Walker and the others were ushered out of the embassy to an open space where a very large metal crate had just been placed. The grasses had been flattened and multiple angles with dark and white armor stood around ready to fight at any moment.

"Dropped off by our mages and kept guard by both empire's soldiers. We have a single one of the pawns trapped here. It is chained in that box and can not break free. Will you open it or should I?" the Fel empire's archangel's eyes gleamed with curiosity.

"Since you are so tempted, then let them open it. I will use some skills on it. Especially because this is your own little test for us. You want to see what genesis can tell you about undead. But you also want to see how much we have ventured from the elemental cycle that Rize enjoys as their core values. I can't say that you hid that well though. Both of you are using this as a test. Unfortunately for you, we have united both your values without even knowing you had opposed one another. Or that your empires even existed. Our world is viewed differently than you expect." Walker watched as soldiers approached the metal crate while making his point clear.
