Master Of None

Chapter 400 - 400. Tag Along With Me

With the two pretending to be overly tired he knew he would need to give them a little more incentive. Lucky for him he knew that flashing some of the regular elemental crystals would do the job. The real question was what would be more beneficial. If Onyx was at the mage training area then he would be able to absorb a constant supply of the Light elemental mana. Same with Midnight. 

This was a small worry that the crystals would be useless to them for a few days, but at the end of the day, they would need them when they were out traveling even more so if they were without other food options.

"Sister says she would like roasted meat for dinner and she will go." Walker couldn't help but laugh a little at this, she had been eating very well from what he understood. However, she was going through a growth spurt as well and would be wanting to eat more and more. 

"Then count it done. I still have some of those frogs and horned rabbit. How about we make sure to finish up early and cook some. I am sure Wade and Alma would like to have some as well. I haven't seen Calen around lately so I would bet she will show up as soon as there is good food." Walker just had a strong feeling that the speedy elf was a very food motivated individual, but what else would happen when there was a person completely built on speed.

Onyx stayed on Midnight's back instead of slithering to Walker's shoulders, Walker had the feeling that this was because he was trying to get used t the fact that he would soon be too large to sit in his shoulders, but Midnight would almost always be large enough to rest on. 

The three headed out. Walker didn't expect Remey to be around much since she was fine with locking herself away to study, especially with another master alchemist willing to teach her. He did worry that she was pushing herself too far, however, he was excited to see the results of her training. 

As they headed toward the training area Walker noticed a few elf enforcers following them. He was a little sad not to see Sierra but knew that she must be in charge of the entire party and not just him, he liked her surprisingly open and positive personality. 

The elf enforcers aside Walker was pleasantly surprised to get many waves and greetings from the elves that were out and about in the morning. He had not expected them to take so well to the new people in their city, but this only spoke to the fact that there were more who wanted to open things up than he had known.

When the three reached the magic training area Alma was already there leaning against the vine door casually whispering to her blue ivy which grew slightly at every word. She seemed to be making it bloom to stock up on seeds for future use. "Good morning, you look like you are having fun so early." 

"Oh, well I already did a few rounds about the city and had some free time. My blue ivy has been growing much better lately and I think it is because I gained a level after we beat those slimes. I'm glad you brought Midnight and Onyx today. I am sure they will love the training area."

The vine door opened up and they were easily able to enter. Onyx now understood why Walker had wanted to bring them here, "Brother, this is very amazing. The light mana over there is so concentrated." He was already slithering toad the light mages who were sitting in a circle and exchanging ideas while holding some light crystals. 

Midnight did exactly what Walker had expected of her and curled up in the middle of the room. He knew that she would benefit from the elemental mana there and he couldn't wait to see the benefits. "Oh, you're back already. We grabbed up plenty of light, darkness, and dual elemental crystals to experiment. The spell swords should be along any time now. They have morning training and usually finish up after the sun had broken the lowest tree's branches." 

The darkness elemental mage was the first to greet him and waved a hand toward the pile of dual elemental crystals. About those dual elemental crystals. I actually went looking for some and found them sold out, is there any way for me to purchase a few from everyone here?" Walker felt bad asking right away, but he had the fear that somehow they would exhaust them all in their experiments.

"Oh, no. Take as many as you want. Truth be told we might not even need half of them. We got very excited and couldn't help ourselves. We rarely use our joint funds and just splurged.." The light elemental mage came over and had heard what they were talking about. With both mages now voicing approval, Walker stored four of the crystals away for his future staff. 

"What do you guys want to try out today? I know we will need to make some swords so the crystal crafting will be the main focus and then adding the proper elemental manas. Yet, I don't see a spell sword s we can fool around a little before they come." Walker sounded a little mischievous but really he just wanted to take sure he was properly thanking the mages for letting him take the crystals he wanted.

"I want to see if your skill is able to take form in to the shape of a sword, I know that the spell swords will want something similar. But if you make one and one side of the blade is light and the other is darkness I think it could lead to an interesting attack strategy to record."
