Master Of None

Once they had gotten to the mansion and eaten their lunches, Onyx had chosen to stay behind to rest in the sunlight and try out a few more things with light elemental mana. It was hard for him to hold himself back, but in the end, he knew it would only make him stronger. 

”What are you guys doing? I just came from the alchemy guild building, have you checked it out yet?” Gil had finished his business for the morning in the archery range made for him. He came back to grab a snack himself and had not realized everyone else was inside the dining room. 

”We checked it out this morning. Trish came ahead of the rest of the elves so she would be able to get some things done with the alchemy lab first. She said they should be here in a day or so, just so you have a timeline.”  Walker smirked knowing that Gil would find this very helpful. 

Gil was trying to act natural after hearing this but was not the best actor in the world. Eventually, he decided that he was better off just walking with them towards the place that was supposed to be marked for the tamers’ guild. It was the farthest and would be near the edge of the city due to the monsters that would be around. Not only would that make people feel more comfortable but it would also mean there was more space for the tamers to spread out and properly do what they needed. 

”I wonder if they will have a lot of tamers come over here early. I feel like it would be a mad rush to get here and be able to train in a place with fewer tamers.” Gil had theorized this for the specific reason that they would want more space. 

”I do not believe that they would like that. They would have fewer people to train their tamed m monsters against. I also believe that they will send over those that know and work with the merchants that are coming to the city to start a name for themselves. There are plenty of monster materials that some tamers harvest consistently from their tamed monsters.” Su was mostly thinking of the sheep the party had encountered on a journey. 

”True, we might get a lot of tamers that bring monsters like that. It will be good to expand and build a base for a lot of shops and just the economy in general. It could really set the future for the city.” The conclusion Walker and Su came to made a lot more sense. 

”I wonder if the merchants coming from the forest elf city will have some of the arrows I helped work on?” There was something about the arrows he helped create being sold that seemed so exciting to Gil.

”You made arrows?” This was part of the visit to the forest elf city that Alice had yet to hear. Gil was not often volunteering in the cathedral so she had a very small base of knowledge when it came to him and his interests other than hunting. Unfortunately, her question brought her in to a long story about creating arrows and different materials. However, when Gil explained the light elemental arrows and how there was even an arrow that would heal wounds when shot with it, Alice was stunned. A weapon that would actually save lives was against the usual intention of a weapon. 

”I thought the architect said that they hadn’t started building this yet?” Walker was surprised to see that there were earth mages digging a section out for the tamers’ guild buildings. 

”Oh, the earth mages from the forest elf city that came earlier are making basements and other storage areas. The tamers’ guild will probably have some caves and stuff under it. I doubt there are natural caves but they can be made by magic for monsters to live in.” The Idea was very similar to the already existing tamers guild buildings in the demi-human city. There would definitely be a nice branch in this city, but not a main branch. Mostly because the main branch in the demi-human city had too much history and roots there. 

The earth elemental spirit jumped from Su’s shoulder and rushed over to the earth mages. They were very glad to see it and soon it was using their mana to direct the earth elemental mana itself. Su was worried that this was a bad thing and rushed to where the earth spirit was. Bit when she realized that it was using their mana to help it move the earth and uncover something she relaxed and allowed her curiosity to get her to move closer. 

The soil that the spirit moved was not large, but it still showed something very familiar to the group and the three earth mages there. ”Ha, there are dormant earth spirits here. What a find. We might have missed the sleeping spirit.” Walker jumped in to the dirt too and decided that with the help of the earth mages and the earth elemental spirit, they could have the earth spirit woken up in no time. 

Alice paid close attention as Walker and the earth mages started to pull the earth elemental mana around them without any communication. The earth mages recognized Walker and knew what he was thinking. They had the same idea. In the shortest time yet, they had gathered a large amount of earth elemental mana and drawn Fleur’s attention. She floated down and tapped on the dormant earth spirit causing the mana to converge and awaken the spirit instantly. The ground seemed to tremble as this happened and Fleur moved back to Walker’s shoulder. All they could do was watch as the dormant spirit started to change and take a different form than any of them understood was normal for an elemental spirit.
