Master Of None

Chapter 1238 – 1238. The Growth Of Genesis Markets

There was no point in sticking around. As far as the wandering blacksmiths was concerned, Walker could be a ghost. He was fully entranced by the fact that he was going to be learning a ton of new things while also teaching dragonkin. It was good though, he looked to have found something that the wandering blacksmith was excited for. It would also be something that could help him from wandering off in search of a new material for months on end. Part of Walker knew that this would always be a possibility. Luckily, he trusted the wandering blacksmith to ask the party to be his escort. 

"Is the shop open!? Is the blacksmith taking requests!?" A dwarf caught Walker's attention on his way out before the dwarf saw all the forged items. "I need to go get everyone. This place had been empty for weeks!" There was no doubt in Walker's mind that there would be a lot of drama in the next few minutes if he didn't move away from the area. 

"Let's just head toward the market. I bet those elves have a full store and not a large stall anymore." Fleur seemed to be interested in the idea since most of the things that came from the forest had denser natural mana. She liked that she would be able to feel it and explore the market with Walker. 

It took them only a few minutes to reach the food area of the market. Many small stalls were run by those that dealt with farmers. Some were closed and had signs that said when they would open. They were bought by the new local farmers that would be able to sell the Genesis produced vegetables and fruits. Walker was really looking forward to the day that he would be able to say that he bought a Genesis apple. 

Saying that the space had been changed was an understatement. There were many stalls that simply were not there any longer. Instead, there was a large courtyard with multiple signs in the middle. They listed growing seasons, local farms, and even better, merchant information. They were perfect for those avid foodies that would chase down ingredients for restaurants or personal use. It was naturally a place that was crowded by employees of local restaurants as they hunted down their future menu ideas. The city got busier every day and food would become a major player when it came to income. 

"I think that is what we are looking for." Walker read a sign that said, forest elf trading company. That alone was enough for him to want to go and take a look. "Wow." He was stunned. After opening the door he found a lot more than he expected. Not only food lined some walls and bins. But there were many items that he had seen in the forest elf kingdom. 

An entire section was separated for crystal charms with runes on them. They would not have a major effect on someone wearing them but they would have a slight effect. "Those could work really well to help children understand mana and possibly unlock magical systems." Fleur was already gone. She went right to the area to enjoy the mana while Walker looked around. 

'If it isn't the hero. Welcome back. I am glad you found us again." The fact that the hero had come yet again made the forest elf merchant very happy. He waved over the other two that were helping staff the large shop. "I have some interesting ingredients you can take to your mother. She recently signed a spice deal with us. We are very excited to see what she makes. Those sticky buns have really taken the elves by store. No animal product in it at all, perfectly balanced with nature and fruits. She's a genius." 

The forest elves were not necessarily against eating animals, but they valued hunting in moderation. Therefore, their diet had a lot more fruits and vegetables than other races did. That was the main reason why they had such a love for the sticky buns that Walker's mother had begun to sell. If anyone told them that they were made just to attract business from the elves then they wouldn't even be able to argue against it. 

"Who am I to say no? I will bring them to her. I'm impressed that you already have a shop. Business must be good." There were some small magic items including the water spikes. However, it appeared that the stock was running low. 

"We have a hard time getting enough here at once. Many people are coming to buy and then bring elsewhere. We are taking the market by storm. If we didn't have more elves come from the city and help form a group then we would have been washed away by orders." The three laughed. "I won't push anything on you while you are here but feel free to look things over." The advice that Walker could give would be very valuable.

"Well, to be honest. You might want to sell a guide to communicating with the forest elves. I notice the laws and regulations around Genesis building and the adventurer's buildings. But you should have them too. It will make more sense to sell them here since you might get people that want to visit your home." The idea was simple and just seemed to be common sense. 

"Of course! If we make a small guidebook people might come and visit more often. We will take that idea. Don't worry, we won't leave your name out of it." The simple idea had passed right over their heads in the busyness. They had too much going on. But it had been enough to let them talk amongst themselves while Walker took a look and basked in the growth of Genesis for a little while.
