Chapter 2287: 2287. Barry's Conditions
"That's three new races joining in such a short time. Four if you count the separate types of wyverns which were just brought in." Barry had been away and was completely awestruck by the things he was hearing.
Multiple new races brought in, some which were monsters and still needed to hatch and
develop but were already being called a race since it was a higher chance that it would happen anyways. Beyond that, he couldn't even begin to grasp what might have happened with building and technology. Forget magic too.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"I know it's a lot to take in, but we also just heard about some of it from Walker. It is a lot." Su was keeping herself and the others who had managed to call Barry here to the Genesis building calm.
"We know you want to talk to Walker too. But you can go bother him later. First Su is in need of your skills for another quest. This time it's for more than just the city of Genesis, it's for the entire alliance." Remey had stuck right by Su's side over the last few days.
She didn't want to see Su leave without the best of the best to make sure she would be able to handle whatever these changing wilderness areas were. Or what the dense manas, potential naturally forming runes were, and whatever else it was which was out there.'
She had easily raided her own potion storage to ensure that Su had multiple healing, mana, and other potions necessary for basic safety when traveling throughout the unknown. Beyond that, Remey had dragged Su to get her armor repaired along with her shields being touched up as well.
The wandering blacksmith had been dedicated to researching some materials that Gil had managed to bring back, but with Remey's slightly more violent threats, he had accepted to go over the armor. Not that this had been enough, Remey just told herself it had been. Realistically, Su had made a promise that any new materials she discovered would go to him before anyone else. Whether or not they were small or large, they had first choice to the wandering blacksmith rather than the entirety of the crafting guild.
A small but fair cost since the odds that the wandering blacksmith would discover unique and interesting aspects of those potential materials was higher than the crafting guild would. At the very least, he could discover those things much faster. It was just a gap in experiences. The wandering blacksmith had so much knowledge that an entire library could be built with it, and then some.
"A quest? So there was one already issued? Or is this one from the adventurer's guild after being sent from the Genesis building?" Barry wasn't sure who and where the quest was coming from. He didn't think that Su and Remey would have called him here just to mess with him on a small time quest. But he was somewhat excited to have some free time.
"Well, I would not force you all to wear anything different than what you would wish. But you may need time to prepare as well. I am getting married to the love of my life whom I met while training the other angels within the Sigil continent." both Su and Remey coughed trying to keep their minds intact.
This was incredibly unexpected. To be honest, Remey had expected that Scylla would have swooped in to steal Barry away since she had a tendency to enjoy people of strength. She could even try to use her position as general. But then again, Scylla might not have done anything of the sort since she had the solid loyalty under the demi-human kingdom and lived to ensure their future as well.
"I can introduce you two. She was fighting before the others I had trained had ever been fighting. She also helped establish seventeen small angel villages against the orders of both empires when they were in their stalemate. Honestly, she might be able to beat me in a fight." Now this was another unexpected and shocking comment.
"Stronger than you? Now that I need to see. Is she here or the Sigil continent? I want to meet her." Remey was overcome with the desire to test this theory about how strong this woman
was.
"She will come here in three months after establishing three more villages." Barry just smiled, breaking apart the serious essence of the conversation and even making Su wonder what they had been talking about prior to this.
