Master Of None

Chapter 695 - 695. Awakened Spirit

"While everyone had been distracted by Remey explaining her surprise about getting the alchemic fire skill if she managed to bond with a fore elemental spirit, Zephyr had been directing more and more wind elemental mana to the wind spirit. She had pulled the wind elemental mana from the net of crystal and called upon a great deal from the air itself. This was radically speeding up the awakening of the high wind spirit. 

"You were all busy but I wanted to welcome another wind spirit to the fin." Zephyr sounded like a lonely child. However, Walker had the feeling that it was just because they weren't paying attention to her, He gave Gil a meaningful glance which Gil understood as one that meant to tell him to stay strong. 

"Then let me helo at least." Walker began to also pull at the wind elemental mana around them. He was able to easily do this since there was so much being called by Zephyr already. But it was being absorbed at a much higher rate now. 

The dormant spirit was in a crystal like form just like the others. Walker already knew they took on an almost crystal like appearance since he had seen the icy cool dormant water spirit he was holding on to. He also knew that they would normally slowly absorb their elemental mana over time but here they were getting it faster due to the density they were gathering. 

Like light streaming through a window, the crystal like appearance began to crack and warp. The dormant green crystal like substance started to change in to swirling wind. It was something that none of them could comprehend in the least. Walker thought that even Elise wouldn't fully understand this, let alone any elf. 

The mana in the room surged and the wind gusted around them, there was a soft giggle that Walker knew np one but he could hear. It was the high wind elemental spirit rushing around excited and absorbing mana freely. 

"Welcome to the party! You're so cute! You remind me of my other friends when I was flying in the clouds." Zephyr was chasing the high elemental spirit around in a greeting like game of tag. The two were causing a lot of wind but no harm came to anything even though the elder was doing his best to shield the dormant elemental spirits.

Gil realized that the wind was starting to pick up a little more than he was comfortable with. "Hey, Zephyr, can you introduce us to your new friend? We want to meet it." This was the key thgat got Zephyrs attention and she stopped the wind in the forge completely. 

"These are my new family! I have been traveling with them and they will have some very interesting options for you. Much better than flying through the sky." Zephyr surprised the high wind elemental spirit who thought that flying through the sky would be the best of the best in its existence. 

The high wind spirit started to examine all of them, especially Gil. "That is my partner. We are bonded together for life!" Zephyr floated above Gil like she was showing of her very own child. Gil turned slightly red in embarrassment and started to fidget. Remey and Walker stifled laughter only to earn a glare from Gil. 

"I'm Walker, I'm the one who has some interesting offers for you. Well, so does the elder of the dwarves here. He has an offer as well. But please forgive him in advance. I can speak with and understand you. He may have trouble, and the others can not understand you." The high wind spirit came to float in front of Walker.

"Understand! What offers?" The wind spirit had calmed significantly. 

"The elder has crafted multiple items using a forging technique called spirit forging. It, when done with the assistance of a spirit, creates a home for a spirit to dwell in. Gil and Zephyr have a bow. Su and the high earth spirit have a shield. And a fire spirit in the other room has a golem core." The wind spirit turned to see Su and Gil showing off the earth dwelling shield and the true spirit bow. 

"Now that is one option. The other is to join me in my quest to gather one of every elemental spirit and materials for me to make an all elemental staff. So far I am honored to have an earth elemental spirit and a dark elemental spirit with me." The dark and earth spirit showed themselves around Walker and started to whisper to the wind spirit why they chose their choice. Naturally, they kept their voices too quiet for Walker to pick up on but from the way Zephyr and the wind spirit acted he could tell they were affecting the way the wind spirit saw him. 

While the wind spirit finished speaking to the earth and dark spirit Walker noticed that the elder was trying to organize more of the crystals and examine the dormant spirits. He was much more interested now that he had witnessed one come out of their slumber and he wanted to see another because he was constantly curious as someone who crafted new and unique items. 

"Stay with you!" The wind spirit got right in to Walkers' face and spoke. The earth and dark spirit also seemed to cling to him even more which made him wonder just what they had told the wind elemental spirit. 

"If that is your choice then I am very thankful." Walker wasn't sure what else to say. This had happened much faster than he expected. 

"Those two spirits really took a liking to you. I would say they are your fan club. You must have minstrels singing of you already so having one should be normal." Zephyr teased Walker but didn't hint at what they had spoken of to convince the wind spirit.
