Master Of None

Chapter 793 - 793. Adam

The mornings after a festival or a holiday were n normally very silent. The entire city would slowly awaken halfway through the day because of their recovery from the night before. Some had made friends for the event, others had drank a little too much, and even more, still had just stayed up too late. Overall, it was the golden time for those who enjoyed the peace. 

Walker was one of the people who appreciated the early mornings and would take a walk no matter how tired he was after the festival. In all honesty, the only people he would see were some tired guards who would most likely give a wave and allow him on his way. 

The same was said of this morning. However, as soon as he reached the cathedral he found a familiar tamer tending to some of the feathered friends that had brought the food for the kingdom. "Good morning Elise. It looks like Stella is having fun up there." Stella was still wearing a small gold painted halo from the angel costume. 

"She is.. I'm not sure she even slept. Last night she went back out to fly around and watch the festival and she loved it." The only word to describe this was cute. Stella was definitely the cute one when it came to the sisterhood between them. "By the way, my friend arrived earlier this morning. He is super excited to see the albino mole egg. He also brought something for the demon girl that wants to be a tamer but I have yet to track her down. Maybe later she will be around." It was still early and since a lot of the demons had joined up to celebrate their own freedom the night before they were most likely tired as well. 

"I will head inside and meet him then if that's alright?" Walker wasn't sure who he would be meeting and was hoping that Elise would give him a little more information. 

"Oh!" Elise realized what Walker was waiting on and started to speak again. "His name is Adam, he is a dwarf and absolutely hates flying. But when someone gets his interest that goes out the window. He has an earth tamer system so as long and the monster is earth affinity he can tame it...in theory." 

This was more than Walker had expected but it was perfect. "Alright, I will head in. I'm just glad I can meet someone that will really respect the albino mole." 

"He will, he might treat it like his own child so don't worry too much about that." It was very high praise to hear and that made Walker think of how he viewed Midnight and Onyx as his own family. The relation put him at ease as he walked inside the cathedral to find a few people who had definitely indulged a little too much in drinks, therefore, needing to recover after a few visits from a healer. 

Other than that there was a short man with a few strange pieces of gear on. It looked like parts of the gauntlets he wore were made to be able to move dirt like a shovel. The feet had spikes that looked to be able to retract and come out to assist in climbing. The most dominant feature was a helmet with a light elemental crystal embedded in the top which could easily be covered or exposed to show light in a dark area. This dwarf looked more like a prepared miner than the ones that the party had met in the mines of the dwarf city. 

"I take it you are Adam the earth tamer?" Walker didn't really need this to be a question since it made sense that the only dwarf here would be Adam. However, just in case he had to pose the question. It would be foolish to believe that it wasn't possible for there to be another dwarf here. 

"Yeah. That's me. What do you need? Are you that kid with the mole egg? I want to see my new addition. It will need to hatch soon. How long has it been dormant? I doubt you know. What did flying girl tell you?" It was a slew of pointless questions before Adam actually looked at Walker and took in the full sight. Walker was wearing his usual gear but for some reason, Adam retreated slightly. "You've got some spirits around you there...is that normal?" 

Walker found that there were a few elemental spirits hiding behind him and one familiar fire spirit was sitting on his shoulder observing the whole situation. "Oh, these are normal. I helped awaken some and this one in particular has a dwelling at the mansion we live in. And yes, I have the albino glowing mole egg. I don't know how long it has been dormant." 

Walker pulled the egg from bis inventory and Adam practically jumped to him without a single thought. The elemental spirits that had thrown him off were completely forgotten. The only thing that mattered was the egg. The rest of the world around Adam was just something that happened to be there. 

Seeing all of this and how carefully Adam was examining the egg, Walker couldn't help but believe how right Elise was. This person had so much care and focus for the earth affinity monster inside that it seemed as if it was his own child. "This little gal looks very well off. Not enough mana to get a heart beating just yet. Maybe four years of incubation with proper mana. Three weeks until it can move around on its own. And I would say it will have the unique albino skill light crystal claw. You found a very beautiful glowing mole. How can I get it from you?"
