Master Of None

Chapter 710: 710. Local Delicacy

”You seriously learned it on the spot? Did you even have to think about it? The elder is going to have to work all week to hopefully learn some of how to speak top a spirit.” Remey was just too amazed to make up her mind if she was angry or impressed.

”I got really lucky. I already have the mental archive skill, so even though it says the information will dissipate in a week, I have it memorized and record with that skill. I canʼt forget it if I wanted to.” Walker was trying to make it sound like he had no control but his words sounded more like he was trying not to brag too much.

”So you can make whatever staff or sword or whatever you want to make with all these spirits? You wonʼt even need help will you?” Remey was sure that Walker wouldnʼt even need to go to a forge now to hunt down a blacksmith. He could just use the mansionsʼ forge and create his awesome dwelling weapon.

”I still need to learn a lot and find a fire spirit to join us.” Walker watched as the spirits reacted to hearing this. They had also realized that Walker would need to round them out with a fire spirit and had been whispering about it. Unknown to Walker, but they had all promised not to mark him with a spirit mark until they had the fire spirit.

This would allow them all to work together to create one that would exist even after they fused if they needed to.

”Oh, I almost forgot. Su and Gil came back while you were away with the golem builder. They are already resting. Something about being here for longer than we realized because we have been underground and missing the rise and fall of the sun. Su didnʼt explain it all.

”I have the feeling we have been here more than a few days. My body has been unhappy with me since I havenʼt properly eaten and rested on a schedule.” Walker could feel his muscles and joints aching along with his stomach growling for food.

Remey was swapping between knuckles to get used the movements while walking, ”I think we have been here at least a week now. I saw that there are schedules for when the alchemists make potions since they need the shipments of herbs from the outside. There were a decent amount of days crossed off already.” Remey appeared worried but the party was already preparing to head home so it wasnʼt too hard.

There was a slight breeze and a familiar grand wind spirit appeared in front of them as they neared the resting areas. ”We have been waiting forever. Gil and I went to get food and found a lot of this weird eel stuff and some root vegetables and even some goat skewers!” Zephyr had spoken of food which made Walkersʼ stomach growl louder.

Somehow Midnight had already interpreted the growl of Walkersʼ stomach as the fact that food was waiting for them and sped off ahead with Onyx on her back. The two disappeared in to the resting area along with Zephyr who beckoned for Remey and Walker to follow.

”Took you all long enough. Su and I were losing it waiting to eat.” Gil immediately dug in to some of the food spread out on a cloth in front of them.

”You two could have eaten without us. We wouldnʼt have been angry.” Walker knew that Su wouldnʼt allow this but still felt bad for the fact that he had been too slow to return.

”We could never eat without the rest of the family. Not to mention all the new members.” Su motioned at the elemental spirits. There were a decent number of them now with the only one missing being the fire elemental spirit that was testing the dragon style golem.

”I think the spirits will be at home when we get to the mansion. There is a lot of space to explore and maybe all of you could awaken another spirit.” Walker had a feeling that the elemental spirits would seek out other dormant elemental spirits no matter what. They all seemed to enjoy gaining new friends.

The reaction of the spirits was small bursts of their respective elemental manas. Walker just smiled while grabbing one of the roasted eel pieces. ”The elder said this was a delicacy here and that they are bred for food.” Walker chomped down and felt the juices of the eel melt in his mouth. There was none of the rubbery or tough texture he expected.

It was tender and roasted perfectly with a hint of fire smoke.

Midnight was greedily eating a large portion of it. However, she did not forget to stop and use her claws to cut pieces for Onyx when he had swallowed one. The two were the perfect siblings if any had ever existed.

”So, I think I will be the one to say it since Su was the one that thought to actually check and do the math. We have been here for almost twenty days now. We have barely eaten or rested. This city has messed with our bodysʼ natural clocks way too much. Itʼs way worse than when we ended up stuck in the ruins.” Gil made his point and Walker felt that they may have spent too much time.

Then I think we will be resting after we eat and heading out. The elder said he would have the kings see us off and that he was sending golems to Genesis city to assist on building. It will be interesting seeing how it all goes later.” Walker was sure that there would be some form of commotion. It seemed that this was only to be expected from the dwarves as a whole.

It was just up to the dwarves what it would be. In the meantime, they all ate together and eventually, fell off to sleep which they desperately needed.
