novelA diffrent race
| ← Ch.208 | Ch.210 → |
Back at Avrion city, the elder meeting was finished early due to the sudden appearance of Ray. As the other elders saw him, they immediately bowed down to Ray.
It was something he couldn't get used to but thanks to Jack it had become a regular thing for members of the Red wings to do now. Ray never wanted to be in charge of everything, he just wanted to be free, so he preferred the elders actually be in charge of Avrion, while he just sat on the top.
Slyvia and Ray were currently on their own in her own personal sweet. Now that she was an official elder, she had her room decorated just how she liked it. Ray found the room surprisingly girly, there were many flowers scattered about everywhere and everything had a tint of pink to it.
It wasn't what Ray had suspected after knowing Slyvia over the years. She always had strong pieces of armour on her body and wore the colours of her family.
Slyvia could see Ray looking around the room and felt slightly embarrassed. She wanted to steer Ray's attention to her as quick as possible.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back to Avrion?" Slyvia asked, "No wait and since when could you teleport?"
"It was a new skill I picked up on the way." Ray replied, "I'm afraid my time is short at the moment, I would love to catch you up on everything but I have pressing matters. Did you manage to get any more information on the Special request I made?"
Slyvia went to take a sip of her coffee then placed it down on the table before replying.
"Yes, very good news actually. We happened to find a Dwarf of all people that should be able to fit your request."
"A Dwarf?" Ray asked slightly confused.
"Yes!" Slyvia said with a smile, "In fact, I think he may be the only one on this whole continent."
Dwarfs were a race different from humans. They were small in size but known for their sheer strength and legendary blacksmith skills but in the continent Ray and the others were currently on, the continent called Bronzeland, there wasn't a single dwarf settlement.
The dwarfs belonged to a completely different continent miles away from the dangers of Humans and the Shadow plague. It was rumoured that on their continent dwarves actually worked with beasts to power their cities and fight off dangers.
Before Ray had left, he had tasked Slyvia with a special task. When Noir had evolved it stated that she was now able to wear Beast armour similar to what humans wore. The only problem was there wasn't a single blacksmith who knew how to create one fit for a beast.
When armour was created using a beast crystal, there was something special about it. Armour was made by melting down the beast crystal and infusing it with the metal itself. Then when the beast armour or weapon would make contact with the human skin, something about it would activate its special properties. 𝘧𝗿𝑒e𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞𝙡 - 🅽🅽novel
No one quite knew why but through the process of trial and error eventually humans found a way. They also quickly learnt that certain crystals were better at creating different types of weapons and armour.
Although a blacksmith was able to create armour with a shape that would fit Noir. It didn't seem to activate in the same way. The armour was nothing special like other beast armour and was just a hunk of metal on a large wolf.
The armour was heavy and was only as strong as armour made from any other metal.
Ray himself had never seen a Dwarf, even as his time as a dragon. He spent nearly all his time on Bronzeland. Through tales and stories of others who had travelled the continents, he hadn't heard of them talking about dragons.
It seemed like the race of the Dragons had originated on Bronzeland and had never gone outside to other continents. Of course, Ray had debated flying over to the other lands to see but by then he was too consumed with rage and had set his target on the humans themselves.
"How were you able to find this Dwarf?" Ray asked.
"Well, actually he came to us." Slyvia said, "We sent out a request saying we were looking for someone who had any knowledge on this subject. That's when one day the little man came to us."
Although Ray was struggling to find an advanced tier beast for himself to beat and obtain crystals, that didn't mean he couldn't increase his power in other ways. His first step would be to improve Noir and then with the remainder of the days go out to the hunting grounds.
"Where is this dwarf?"
"Actually, he's right here in this academy, " Slyvia said.
Sylvia and Ray then started to walk through the academy halls together and started to head to the canteen.
"At this time of the day the man usually is here, " Sylvia said."He's been here for a few days now and in return for giving him free accommodation and food, he has agreed to make the beast equipment for free, as long as we will be providing all the materials of course."
When the two entered the canteen. They could see a bunch of knights at a long table happily drinking and chanting a song away and on top of the table was a little muscular man with a grey beard and monocle on his right eye, busy stuffing his face away with food.
As soon as the doors to the canteen opened and the knights saw who entered, they stopped singing, put their drinks down and bowed down to Ray. All except for the dwarf as course.
"We welcome the boss of the Red wings." The knights said.
"You're saying this boy here is the leader of this entire city?" The dwarf said as he took another bite of the chicken leg he held in his hand."This boy could barely hold a sword, never mind run an entire city."
The knights and Slyvia were slightly nervous. None of them knew how Ray would react, Ray was a bit bipolar at times.
The knights gulped anticipating what Ray would do next.
