Karl was quite certain that Dora did not sleep at all that night. When he went to sleep, she was working on making bracelets. When he woke up, she was still working on making bracelets, but with a half dozen of them on the table in the hotel room.
"You know that you can wait until I go over some of the compound runes and common phrases with you, right? You don’t need to keep working all night." He joked.
"But how could I not? They’re so pretty." Dora complained, waving her hand at the stack of wooden rings with the glowing purple runes on them.
"Plus, it took me so long to figure out what wood was the best for mana transfer. It’s pretty obvious for metals, mana and lightning compatibility go hand in hand. But for wood? No wood conducts electricity well, but some of it conducts mana very well."
Karl chuckled at her enthusiasm as he realized that her Green Dragon side was showing very clearly through her personality. Even if she looked like a small Orc with a lizard tail, she was very much half dragon.
They went to the restaurant for breakfast, which was served in a local style, with a Trollish cook.
"What you need?" The troll called as they sat down.
"I will need ten eggs, and all the bacon." Karl called back, then briefly wondered why he had spoken in Trollish. Not had it translated, the words had come out in Trollish.
The cook gave him a thumbs up, while Dora stared at him strangely.
"You speak Trollish? I could hear the translation in my head." She asked.
"Orcish too." Karl agreed.
Dora laughed. "Well, obviously. Everyone speaks Orcish."
Karl poked her in the forehead. "We’re going to the capital, Drodh City. They speak Demon as the common language in the city. So the system will do all the translation for you."
Dora paused as the food came out, a whole plate of bacon and eggs, with a side of toast.
"Your breakfast, Sir." The server explained, while giving the plates a strange look.
"Wonderful, thank you. That is exactly what I needed this morning."
The server looked somewhere between horrified and fascinated by the plate, but Karl was more interested in the pair of Orcs that were waiting outside the window wearing Druid robes with their hoods up.
He had never seen an Orcish Druid. Shamans, yes. But these were very clearly Druids, according to their name plates.
Karl checked out after breakfast and led Dora out into the street to say goodbye to her mother, and to collect Misty, so the Dryad wasn’t left on the wrong side of the country.
As soon as they stepped into the street, the two Orcs in druid robes moved to walk beside Karl.
"Come with me, we can talk by the healer’s shop while Dora talks to her mom."
Commander Rank Druids weren’t really a threat when he had [Void Body] active passively.
