Master Of None

Chapter 1249 1249. Well Thought Out

"Brother! Wake Up!" Walker felt himself being pulled from bed only to open his eyes and find that Onyx had his tail wrapped around his ankle to help shackle him awake.

"How early is it?" Walker found that the sun was just barely beginning to rise and realized that he had been asleep until the last minute that Onyx wanted to leave. "Oh! I will be down soon to get going."

"Brother, you are the same as everyone else. You should have come home earlier last night." Onyx had reprimanded everyone who had taken their time getting home. The only ones that had been to the mansion with him were Midnight and Su. he knew that Midnight would sleep in because she was Midnight and that was just the way of her life. Su had been up promptly but knew everyone else would be behind so had found Walker's mother to help make some sandwiches for their early departure. That Was why Onyx had focused on Gil, Remey, and Alice who had slept in the spare room to leave with them in the morning even though the high priest had tried to get her to stay at the cathedral. He was a little worried about her leaving again for another adventurer, as a father would be.

There was no response from Onyx and he had already left the room. Walker was left to quickly clean himself up and put on his traveling gear. They were heading out yet again and would be helping Onyx to make progress in his dream of bringing his race out in to the open. Even if they did not find another abyssal serpent then they would be investigating the ruins and caves already discovered within the ravine. It could prove them to be safe or dangerous which would be very valuable to those that went by the area while traveling.

"You slept in pretty long!" Gil was antagonizing Remey which didn't seem to be the best course of action so early in the morning.

"Says the guy that was out late because he was walking his girlfriend home. why don't you just stay with the elves? You are basically one of them already. Just tell us when you are getting married to Alma so you can be king of the elves!" Remey finished her own rebuttal with a solid hit to Gil's shoulder.

In his stunned state, he had been unable to form proper words to reply and also unable to dodge. "Gil, you did that one to yourself. And just like me, you also slept in because you took too long getting back here." Walker just shook his head and went to the table to grab a sandwich that Su was placing down.

"No you kids be safe out there. I know you are all growing up so fast and don't want to be called kids, but you are all my children. I will always see you as such and you will have to deal with that even when you have wrinkles like me." Hilda pointed out the small crows feet by her eyes from focusing while she cooked for so many years. She gave them a wave before they could respond because she wanted to get to the bakery and start in on the new creations she would unveil for the day. She had an entire adventurer themed pastry set to release for the parties leaving the city.

"Alright! Here is the plan." Onyx slithered to the center of the room getting everyone's attention. Alice sat up straight and looked right at him. She knew that she was still the least experienced and wanted to ensure that she followed every word carefully. "We have to get to an abandoned trade village before night fall. It is in the field lands and fell out of popularity as the trade routes changed. It will be the best rating place. From there we will head to the ravine which we can reach in only two and a half days with Alice's songs to speed us up."

"That sounds like a good idea, but you do remember that Alice can't move while singing that song, right?' Walker wasn't trying to be a pain but he wanted to see if Onyx already had a solution to this issue.

,m "I thought of that and we are going to be picking up a carriage to bring us there. It is made specially to not require any stead to pull it. I worked hard to get this prepared for the journey. It used runes and mana gems to fuel them. It moves using the runes. It is not fast but with Alice, it will move much faster than us walking." There was a confident aura around Onyx. This was a rare find since it would normally cost a lot to rent. However, he had made friends with many people and managed to rent it for half the price.

"Brother, I also need you to store some crates. They have light elemental crystals and some other items I prepared within them. They will be for when we get to the ravine." These were a part of Onyx's additional planning for luring out potential abyssal serpents along with a few other things he wanted to be ready to use.

"Then I will do that. I'm ready to leave when you are." At that Onyx took the lead out the front door toward the large carriage. It was clearly reinforced to handle tougher terrain and trails. The runes that were all over it channeled earth elemental mana to help it move constantly when activated. There were many mana gems that lined the inside of the carriage which greatly impressed everyone. They all easily fit inside after Walker stored away the large crates. They were off and out toward the field lands in minutes with Walker dedicated as the driver since Onyx knew he would easily learn the skills needed.
