Strike would think about it, but when he heard the pop his head snapped towards the sound staring at the little Sprite around Blake's shoulder.
"Oh Captain my Captain... It has been a while since I've seen him. That sure is interesting."
Strike would decide to be blunt now.
"For the Boots, I'll trade you one of my people being granted a monster. For the Gloves, I'll take the name of a few spies, and for the Ring, I'd like to know how you came about him?"

"Unfortunately the only people that currently have the Monster form are those chosen by our land at birth. However, I would be willing to have our finest smiths forge you a weapon worthy of an Emperor. I'm sure it is no secret that our smiths are among the finest in the land when it comes to weapons."
But the Monster forms were a gift, he would not sully it by trading it away.
"The rest I am more than happy to share."

Strike would take a small inhale followed by an expressed sigh as he sipped more tea.
"This is agreeable terms."
He would turn to one of the people wearing color coded sashes and torn rags and wave them away.
"The items you seek will be brought here and I will allow you to take them with you today for if we knew nothing else of Aurora and it's good King it is that it is a place of Honor and Duty."

"I am surprised you found them considering the weird places the Dragons chose to hide them."
He bowed his head at the compliment.
"Thank you for the kind words. It warms my heart to know I am doing something right to garner the respect of the other great leaders such as yourself."

"They were interestingly hidden. The Strike Gloves however were left at a grave sight, the Ring of Thor was owned by some sword instructor at Cabal Academy, but the Boots of Bone... Well they were hidden well. An underground labyrinth full of boots all nearly identical. Finding the correct boots took some time."
Strike kind of chuckled at the days of reports on people putting on boots that stuck them in place, stuck them to the ceilings, or fell apart in moments.

"And is there a specific type of weapon that you favor? I would hate to have it forged only to discover you are not proficient in it."

"I am particular to pole arm weaponry."
Strike would nod with a smile before taking another sip. Before long the people would return with red metal boxes, however they shined like they were covered in a gloss like paint. Each box was opened and held out for Blake's inspection to see each in turn and confirm their authenticity. Strike would wave a hand for Blake to do as he wished.

He would examine each of the items, looking for the telltale signs of each one from the memories of the Dragon's he now had in his mind. When he was satisfied he would nod and slide a paper over to Strike that had the names of the spies within his territory planted by the Conqueror and those in his employ.
"Those should be the names of people of interest to you. As for your former Captain here, he is what is called a Qi sprite from what I understand. A fragment of a person's soul that is formed and molded by life experiences before bonding with someone and being given life. In this case, it has taken the form of President Asiv."

"That is an interesting turn. Though specifically, that would be the Zack Asiv from our school days. He had defeated myself and our comrades for the title of Captain using a strange power none of us had seen before. We were very young and the world was far different. Qi users in those days, were rare monks hidden away in mountains. I'll never forget the sound of those air bursts around his fists."
Strike would comment, as much as he was comfortable sharing at least.

"I suppose the distinction is important."
He'd say looking over at the Asiv Qi sprite.

Strike would finish off his tea and place it down, before waving for the servants to close the boxes and hand them off to Blake's followers. Though specifically giving the Boots of Bone to Dante.
"Well King Oleander, you are welcome to stay and enjoy our hospitality for as long as you want, but I suspect you have busy days ahead. Your escort can take you back to where you were picked up if you wish it."

"That would be welcome. Though, before we conclude our visit I believe it best to give you a warning on the Conqueror and his people. They use Qi in a way unseen in this land, a technique they call the Cloth. It grants the user exceptional abilities even when compared to normal Qi abilities, and prevents Qi abilities from being able to target them."
He'd say standing up.
"However, that would include support and healing abilities from friendly units as well. These cloth users, should you encounter them are very powerful but isolated. Seeing as how you were leading the siege on the castle I thought you would be in the best position to use that information."

Strike would stick his gaze to Blake for a moment.
"That is interesting to hear. I had witnessed a few of these... Cloth practitioners during the siege. However, divide and conquer, or support focus may be a good strategy. I appreciate it."

"You are welcome. I will leave the dissemination of that information to your forces to you. Should you discover any vulnerabilities or information that may benefit me and my warriors I can only hope you will see fit to pass it along as well."

"We'll test it's effectiveness in the field first, see if we can discern anything else. Good luck to you."
With that Blake's escort would lead them back the way they came! If not interrupted for any reason they would make it to the airship and then back to where they had been picked up. Once again never seeing the outside.
