Master Of None

Chapter 942: 942. Pleasant Encounter

”Brother, did you know that there are rain water collectors so that some homes can always have water and get water?” Onyx had been rambling about these things since he and Midnight had finished helping with the walls.

”Believe it or not, but I did. I remember the dwarves have some rune smiths. Hey should be able to make some runes that purify the water and that help it gather there.” These were runes that Walker wanted to learn at some point. But for him now, they were bound to be much too complicated a design to attempt and learn. There was the minor fear that he would mess up a rune that caused it to explode.

”What about the small channels by houses so that rain water can run off? They are only built where the ground isnʼt frozen. But there is a team with an elf earth mage that are building them. It will make the city perfect even during the worst rains.” Walker glanced to the side of the street knowing full well that they were able to see one of such designs next to them.

But he just listened to Onyxʼs explanation anyways.

”I canʼt wait to get a good look at the cathedral. I have been wondering how they put those big colored glass windows up.” Both Onyx and Walker were curious about this. The windows were clearly too large to just move as a single piece. That meant that they were made on site somehow by a glass blower or artist of some kind.

”Look who it is! The little hero!”

”Ha! I told you he would be here. Now where is Garrett? I heard he applied to be an inner wall captain.”

”No way, he is going to get beaten out by me. I will be the boss this time!”

Three familiar outer wall guards were walking by carrying some lumber with them. Walker had known them for years and they had been a big part of his learning. They were more than happy to help him ask as many questions and convince travelers to show him their system skills. ”Did you three really need to follow me all the way here? Iʼm not a kid anymore.

I donʼt need babysitting.” The tone was light hearted and all three of them stopped to shake their heads.

”A kid is still a kid.”

”We raise him and heʼs so cruel.”

”Well didnʼt you hear what Garrett said? Heʼs got a healer girlfriend. That one that was raised by the high [priest. He doesnʼt need us anymore for family.”

The three feigned crying and hurt feelings while Walker pretended not to hear the last one about Alice. ”I canʼt believe you would transfer all the way over here. Itʼs a big change.”

”Ha! Big change, my wife practically carried me all the way here. She said a new start is exactly what we need for our baby.”

”What? Baby? I thought we came for the elf women weʼve heard about?”

”Elf women? No, you are both fools. There will be dwarven fire wine here! FIRE WINE!”

The three began to argue as they walked in the opposite direction as Walker. After the small encounter, Walker and Onyx couldnʼt help but to feel even more at home. The city had yet to be opened and running but it was an amazing place already. Knowing there were three experienced and friendly guards around would put anyone at ease.

Before they could begin walking up to the door, Walker noticed the massive slabs of stone that were being used to create the walls of the cathedral. He couldnʼt imagine where they had been cut from. All he did know was that they were definitely making the cathedral one of the toughest buildings there. ”Huh, they didnʼt make stairs for this cathedral. Thatʼs a good idea.”

”Glad you like it kid. This section was up to my planning. I have three restaurants, four general goods stores, and the tamersʼ guild to build next.” The dwarf that spoke rushed by with a blueprint in front of his face. Walker and Onyx would not have believed that it was him that had spoken if he didnʼt wave a hand in thanks.

Midnight just looked excited at the mention of the tamersʼ guild She wanted to see another dragon and possibly learn to breathe fire for the forge even better.

Walker did have the sneaking suspicion that she also wanted to show off how good she had gotten lately. Her dragon breath attacks had been improving every day with her constant practice. ”Letʼs go, Iʼm sure that Su and Alice are here waiting for us.” He would be crazy not to expect to find Su here trying to help out.

”Brother, they are over there.” Onyx slithered away from Midnight and Walker toward Su and Alice who were resting.

”I hope we werenʼt too late. We got caught up helping out a little.” The apology sounded a little forced since Walker wasnʼt sure how he would have walked by and ignored someone who needed help.

”Oh, we knew that you got caught by something. Itʼs pretty easy to guess.” Su and Alice both giggled for a moment making Walker worry that they were getting too close. He would soon be on the receiving end of constant teasing if they bonded anymore. ”By the way, there are a few earth mages that are resting but the masons still need concrete mixed.

Can you help out?” Su already had a task for Walker before he even tried to sit down.

The job wasnʼt going to do itself so Walker jumped to it. Meanwhile, Midnight decided to explore the very problem that she had heard Onyx and Walker talking about. The large glass window materials were in eyesight and she was curious as well. The glass blowers were also just starting to heat up some tools to begin work again.
