Master Of None

Su had left before Walker. She had been more driven to train than he had noticed. It was her focused attitude which proved that Midnight and Walker would need to step up as well. ”If we don’t make an effort she will be stronger than us when we go to the royal dragon’s court.” Midnight seemed to huff in displeasure when Walker said this. She refused to be weaker than anyone. 

”I know, I know, you will fly soon. But make sure that you work on the other elemental breath attacks. I think you will be able to use them to help make the bracelets I have in mind for the gifts. It will be good to show them off. Also, where is your skeletal armor? Shouldn’t you be training it while we walk to the crafting guild? The wandering blacksmith wasn’t at his shop so he has to be there.” 

There was a lot that Midnight was trying to train and having Walker make her focus on three things was good. She would get distracted and try to learn new things or only focus on one. If she forgot others she would end up being only good at one thing. That would mean she could be countered with no other way to defend herself. 

The wandering blacksmith had already made a splash by making the highest quality tools. The dwarves had become his favorite customers since he had made some hammers. Walker didn’t even need to walk in to his blacksmith shop to see that he wasn’t there. A group of dwarves had been walking away and warned Walker that the shop was closed that day and why they had come. 

This wasn’t a bad thing to discover though. Walker was able to wander the city and listen to the rumors. Since the streets got busier every single day, he was able to absorb a lot of knowledge. ”I didn’t expect to hear that there were wandering wizards showing up to check out the mage tower. If they really are that amazing then I will end up meeting a few sooner than later.” One child had been asking his parents about a wizard that he had seen. 

Mages were considered common in comparison to wizards. That was because the wizards were known for storing their spells in rune scrolls. That also made them the best producers of high quality magic scrolls with powerful spells within them. But where they really separated themselves was when they sealed high level skills within scrolls. This would be created by them making them a very tough opponent. The only downside was that wizards suffered from a very long casting time. 

Walker could cast his skill very fast even compared to mages. But a wizard would easily take ten times the length of casting. This was because of the skills that the wizards had required them to infuse their mana with sufficient elemental mana. It was mostly due to the fact that they were meant to seal away their spells within scrolls. But once they had the scrolls created they could use them in an instant. They were very dangerous enemies to have but were widely known as good and just people. It was considered a shame that they were so rare. 

This didn’t seem to impress Midnight. She had been more interested in the monsters that were carried in on a cart toward the adventurer’s guild. They were multiple steel haired bears from the mountains. Apparently, there had been an outbreak as they woke up from their hibernation. This was perfect for a higher tier adventurer with his party that had been paid to guard a small village for that exact reason. As a bonus reward they had taken the beads with them to sell in Genesis to fund a new home. Midnight thought that they looked like a decent snack to have since she thought they might help her strengthen her scales a little. 

”No, we are not trying to convince them to sell us those bears. We have enough food to eat for weeks stored up. Plus you would never finish all of them since I doubt that onyx could eat those too.” Walker felt like a parent in the moments before they walked through the crafting guild’s door. They had just set up the new face of the building. 

It was not unexpected that the building was made with many elegant crafting techniques. They had started adding the wooden and metal carvings on the front to show off the immense skills house within the guild. But it had expanded to paintings, pottery, and even some rune drawings. Now the crafting guild could be said to be a work of art that would attract many people throughout the future years. 

”What brings you here today?” There was a set of fresh looking staff members at the front door. It was impressive that everything was so clean inside. But Walker noticed that there were a few people walking on and out with cleaning tools. The guild must be trying to keep a clean appearance for those that came to discuss work. It was fair since the production would be in different parts of the building. 

”I just came looking for a friend. Don’t mind me.” Walker gave a wave to Rodney who was rushing through one of the doors behind the counter. The wave back made the new staff members understand. When they noticed Midnight they became slightly embarrassed for not recognizing Walker. ”Good luck here. It should be a great first job to have.” Walker passed on his regards. He was sure that these staff members would help shape the future of the crafting guild and hearing some kind words would go a long way. Especially since they would most likely be starting a very long career here today.
