Chapter 1111 - 1111. Tea Time

"Now what did you just ask me?" Gil didn't sound as if he was the happiest hearing what Walker had just proposed. 

"It's a journey to the water elves' lakes. It should be to recruit them in to Genesis." Walker only repeated the end of what he had told Gil. 

"The water elves? The ones that even the demi-humans said they have trouble with? You want to go there and try to talk to them? The ones that literally attack merchants that try to enter their lakes?" There was a serious annoyance in Gil's voice which spoke to how crazy this idea seemed. 

"Well, they will come at some point. I would rather invite them than make them an enemy. Imagine what they will think if they somehow hear that all the knowledge of the desert elves is now here? How would they react to find out that the desert elves had ancient knowledge and that was not sent to them in any form or fashion? The water elves envied the water elves and now we have a chance to use that to bargain with them and join the Genesis alliance." 

"I hear what you are saying, but do you really need me? I d think they are like the forest elves. I think they would focus on water magic instead of archery. I might just make them angrier." Gil did have a good point. The reason he did so well with the forest elves were the many similarities he had with them. He might just remind the water elves of the differences between elves. 

"I will ask Alma to come too. She has relations with the water elves as the next queen of the forest elves. This might be a chance to bring them together again. It also means you will be acting as a personal enforcer along with any that Alma brings. Although, I doubt that she will bring any. It would most likely be something she needs to avoid since the water elves could think her to be attacking them if she brings guards in high numbers." This would just be something Walker would need to speak with Alma about. 

"If Alma goes then I will be there. But make sure that Midnight comes. I want her strength. Just leave Su back though. Su deserves a rest. She doesn't show it enough but she has been working herself sick. That and I saw her being helped to the cathedral benches by that violin player she always looks at. I swear, do you all think I'm blind?" Gil never spoke about things like this. Walker was a little shocked. Gil kept so much to himself when he was in his own head. 

"Well, I was going to ask Su to stay anyway. She is doing great work with the cathedral. I was thinking of asking the wandering blacksmith potentially since he could show off the rune forging that we have along with true spirit forging." This seemed to catch Gil's attention. 

"That could work. But I doubt he will. If you haven't seen how the crafting guild is coming alone then you might have missed the news. The crafting guild has the backing of our wandering blacksmith. They need him to help keep the peace as they set down roots." Gil was well versed in the city's gossip. The wandering blacksmith is busy. 

"Hmm, then maybe just you, me, Alma, Midnight, and Leon. Not a bad group. Temporary party?" Gil thought for a moment listening to Walker then nodded. 

"I will go speak to Alma, you can hunt down Midnight. I bet she is with the dragonkin picking a fight." Gil had seen the four sparring the night before and laughed while thinking about it before he left toward the direction of the forest elf park. 

As much as Walker wanted to say Midnight would be easy to find, he knew she could be anywhere. She did try to spar with them at one point but after Su had told him that one dragonkin had tried a lot of different food stalls at the first walk around the city, he knew. Midnight would never turn down food so that was where he would need to look. 

The good thing about all that was there was one place that she would bring anyone that asked her for food recommendations. To his mother's bakery. Hilda may be busy but she was the kind of mother that would drop anything to help out her children And since Midnight was family, she would definitely make food for her and the dragonkin. 

"Hello! I came in the back door because the front is locked." Walker yelled inside when he made it to the shop only to find that the preparation room was full of ready to use foods. 

"Oh, what brings you all the way over here? I thought you would still be with the mages understanding that new tower." Hilda was in the middle of stuffing rolled dough with vegetables and meat to make stuffed steamed buns. She found that many people could easily grab them on the go in the morning. 

"I actually came looking for Midnight. I want to see if she will come to the water elf lakes with me to speak with them." Walker saw the curiosity in his mother's eyes. 

"Well. if you go all the way over there then make sure you bring me back those water chestnuts that grow around the area. I hear they are great for soups." Hilda did not hesitate to make the request. She had always wanted to cook with them since she was able to try one years ago. "And Midnight is in the other room with her new friend. They were tired after training so I even made some tea." 

Walker found the dragonkin and Midnight in deep conversation. The dragonkin didn't seem to have any issue understanding the gist of Midnight's growls and hisses. It was something even Walker struggled with at times.
