Master Of None

Chapter 1103: 1103. Following The Sound

”Onyx, are you sure you want to stay here?” Walker was sure that Onyx would change his mind and come back with them to the mansion. However, Onyx had gotten very defensive over the heavenly serpent egg. He was acting as if it was going to hatch any second.

This would be a little too fast if it did but since Walker was helping Alice to purify and concentrate the light elemental mana it would definitely hatch a bit faster by some degree than a hundred days.

”Yes, brother. I want to make sure that it is properly fed when Alice is resting. She shouldnʼt need to worry.” Alice and Onyx held a look between each other. It seemed they didnʼt need to speak about this and had agreed on the arrangement without Walker or Midnight Realizing.

”I guess thatʼs that then. Midnight and I are going to head out. We have been here all day and I think we should get some food. Plus, I need to worry about exploring the tower tomorrow so runesmiths and crafters can get in to it.” This hadnʼt escaped Walkerʼs mind. He had no idea what might be on the higher floors of the tower or even how many floors there were since it was so tall.

Right before Walker left he felt hands around his back, ”Thank you…for always thinking of me.” There were no more words for how Alice felt. Walker always seemed to have her in his mind. He had thought of her first when it came to the heavenly serpent because he wanted her to have a partner and be safer. She could even pursue more adventures with the party if she had this partner.

The world would be more open to her to explore.

”Always.” The embarrassed face of Walker was hidden as he left through the door. Although, Walker swore that Fleur giggled a little just for a split second.

The streets had become clear over the hours and now that the sun was setting it was nearly silent. The thing that caught Walkerʼs attention as he took the long way to walk home were shouts and the clash of metal. He followed this sound right to the adventurerʼs guild where Midnight suddenly perked her nose to the air.

In a flash, she was running toward the training fields with Walker trying to catch up.

It was easy to see why when he came to the crowd of adventurers. There were three dragonkin battling it out with various opponents. They seemed to be watched by different groups of you younger adventurers. What was even more impressive was that one with a spear was fighting with Barry. The spear seemed altogether too basic and Walker felt that it was just a temporary weapon.

There were no draconic runes on it and the materials seemed to be basic steel.

”Hey, Su. whatʼs going on?” While Midnight pushed her way to the front of the crowd of adventurersʼ, Walker made his way to Su and Clara.

”Oh, They came to visit. Adair sent them. They need to gauge the growth of the city but they are having a good time. I thought we would just see you at dinner after they finished their sparring and classes.” Su had been there for some time. She even participated in a few matches where she helped those with shields get a handle on the idea of deflecting and rolling with a shield.

”It has been a very long day. Things really got busy when Barry became involved. I did not expect this but it has been nice to enjoy the sparring matches. I do not look forward to the paperwork that piled up while I have been there…” Clara knew that her work would be waiting at the end of all of this.

But it was good to see how fast some people were improving and adapting to the new strategies that they saw used.

There was a sudden stop from the three dragonkin as they realized that Walker was there. They came to him and kneeled slightly. ”Lord, we arrived earlier to understand your village and report back to our elder. We stayed with your guardian and followed her guidance. We thank you for the chance to see the growth. It has been an enlightening experience.” Midnight nodded with a soft growl.

She was very happy to hear Genesis praised. It had only been a short time but she took great pride in the home she had seen grow before her eyes.

”I am happy that you have come to see things. They are coming along even faster than I expected. Feel free to find some gifts to bring back. I know that the foods we have are very diverse right now. Some spices came all the way from the forest elvesʼ city. It could be a nice change of pace when you go hunting.” This was something that caught their interest and the dragonkin nodded in unison.

They had already planned this. ” Please donʼt let me interrupt your training. I think I can jump in for one last round. It has been a while since I made some flame dolls.”

Walker motioned for some of the younger adventurers to help him get some straw and wood nearby. They lit them and the flame dolls that Walker created were all matching various monsters he had seen in the desert. It would be a nice challenge. ”Just remember, when you defeat them they will have a minor explosion. If they run out of fuel then you also fail part of the training. Dodge, defend, and attack.

While also feeding the flames.” This sounded like a nice challenge and the dragonkin took it in stride. Even Barry gave it a try to show off to the younger generations now that he had sparred with all three dragonkin and gotten a feeling for where he stood in comparison.

Overall, Barry was a little stronger than the dragonkin, which surprised them because not many humans were that powerful and focused on physical combat.
