Chapter 1032 - 1032. The Leviathan

"Know that the Genesis alliance will welcome you when you are able to send a representative to sit at our table. I will personally request that trade routes are made to travel through the river for your city to have access." Walker was sure that this would be the most agreeable way for the merfolk to travel between here and genesis city. 

"I will have my people patrol the marchlands near the river when the time comes. I expect that the demi-humans and the tamers will also shoulder some of the opposability. But that can be discussed at a later time." King Aaron was already trying to see ahead. He knew that it would take some months to properly fix and grow their city of coral. Yet, he also knew that there would be able to gain from the new alliance with Genesis. 

"I shall take my leave. There are villages to run and we can not leave for such a long time. My lord has decided to leave some of our dragonkin warriors here to patrol the area. They will focus solely on exterminating the few kraken spawn that may still be around." As all of them knew, there were kraken spawn that had not been in the direct area during the fight. Even now it was easy to say that some of them would be attracted to the remains of the other kraken spawn and the mother. 

Walker watched as Adair left the bunker without another word. It was easy for her to walk away and leave Walker standing there. She did wish that she could stay and see what the party did but t was not part of her current duty. "On another note, I wonder what you may know about leviathans? Specifically one that is in this city." Since Scylla had asked Walker about this, he was going to do his best. Asking the king of the city would be the best way to make progress at first. 

"There are some monsters held here in the coral bunkers. But they are not for the general people to worry about. They are lept for the taming of merfolk tamers and mages. They will help our people rise come the right system user." King Aaron brushed off Walker's question as if it was nothing. This was the difference between their standing in the king's eyes. 

Since the merfolk had stuck to themselves and only heard little about the surface, they did not have the same opinions of the hero title holders or the journeys they had been on. For them, these were just grand stories that had been blown up by travelers. It was the same with any story. Many people believed the merfolk to be the same as the sirens on rocky reefs in the oceans. This was just a misconception but enough to make the merfolk hold some distaste when compared to monsters. 

"The leviathan I am looking for can never be tamed. It is already part of someone's soul since birth. If you can not show it to me and allow me to bring it to that person then I will have to go looking for myself." This was a flat out threat. Walker didn't see any reason to beat around the bush. King Aaron was stressed and focused on his people, which was acceptable. Yet, do brush Walker off in such a way after he had helped them bring the Genesis alliance here was worse than a slap to the face. 

"My king. I believe we should give the hero a chance. He has proven his loyalty to life and the safety of our people through his actions. If need be I will stand beside him every step." As Leon stepped in, King Aaron seemed to have lost the words he was about to shout. The look of annoyance and stress was all too clear. 

"You will take him and that demi-human general. They are not to take anything from the best cages. If they dare harm anything then they will be signing their death warrants." King Aaron glared daggers at Walker and Midnight. 

"Midnight, go and get Scylla. Tell her we are going to find her partner." Midnight swam off as fast as she could. She knew the gravity of the situation and also knew just how much faster she was able to swim. 

Since king Aaron was done speaking to them he waved over his attendants to begin putting out orders. There was a lot to do and he didn't have the time to focus on Walker at the moment. "You really tried to fight my father. You know that the trident he holds was made by the very first merfolk king and that's why the city was named Trident, right? Every single king has added their mana in to it and made it more powerful." 

"I was wondering about that. I saw him attack and slice through those kraken spawn as if they were nothing. It was even better than your spear." As far as Walker knew the trident in king Aaron's grasp was one of the most powerful weapons he had ever seen. The pure water elemental mana that radiated from it demanded attention. 

"My spear is nothing compared to the trident. I was given this so that I may train the skills necessary to one day wield the trident. It is a weapon reserved for the king and only the king to wield. The only others I have ever seen wield smaller tridents were the armored merfolk. Unfortunately, they are a rare addition to my people." Leon seemed to be sad about this. He had grown up seeing said armored merfolk but it became less and less through the years. The pair stood chatting about such things until Midnight gave a soft roar to get Walker's attention again.
