Master Of None

Feeling that he had been learning a great deal, Walker closed his eyes for a moment to organize the things he had learned. The elemental mana crystals could wait for just a moment.Â

He was glad that he would be able to meet some dwarven tamers in a branch of the tamers guild. It would be a very interesting and informational way for him to become closer to the dwarves and also to the tamers guild. He would also have a very good chance of finding a tamer that could properly care for and raise the albino glowing mole egg that was still dormant in his inventory.Â

The knowledge of dragons was also interesting. Walker already knew that dragons scales reflected what they ate most. Since Midnight was eating multiple elemental mana crystals then she would have a very unique kind of scale. This wasn't a surprise though since she was a dragon champion and that was a reason she could eat them all in the first place.Â

Knowing that the dragons had a bond with the dwarves was a very valuable piece of information. The ancient dragons were very hard to speak to or even get in contact with. This meant that the humans, elves, and demi-humans had never truly formed a bond with them. Having the dwarves to possibly offer a good work about the alliance could shape the future slightly differently. But time would tell if this was even possible.Â

"So, what do you think? There are some amazing specimens here. Some that could be perfect for what you want to craft." The elder pointed at the higher shelves where there were multiple grand elemental crystals. These were mostly single elements but there were others that were dual or even triple.Â

"I have some multiple elemental crystals already and I was going to try and get more. But there's no way I could take something so valuable." Walker knew that these were incredibly valuable to the dwarves and if he took them it would be a hit to their people.Â

"Then I will just grab one of each." The elder started to gather one of each other the grand elemental mana crystals. Before Walker could even stop him he had placed them in to a bag hanging off of his limp arm. Walker was still concerned about this but the elder had yet to say or do anything about it.Â

Midnight had gathered a small pile of low tier elemental crystals and laid down with them in the middle of the room. "Feel free to rest here and enjoy yourself. I am going to take this one to the more unique materials and the hall we keep elemental spirits in." Midnight gave the elder a soft huff and bowed her head in gratitude for the elemental mana crystals. She was happier than a kid in a candy store with unlimited gold to spend.Â

"You know, you have spoiled her more than my mother has in less than an hour." Walker shook his head as he followed the elder.Â

"I am old. I am allowed to spoil the younger generations when I am not teaching them." The elder showed a hard look making Walker understand that there was much more steel hiding within him than he showed now.Â

"I can't argue with that then. I guess I will need to accept it." The elder smiled and showed the deep wrinkles from years of squinting at fire and hot metals.Â

"Come this way. I have a personal room here with spare arms. I can't believe that they would never break. I just think I will need to finish the mithril or oricalum ones if I want to continue on the spirit forging path now." Hearing this was another surprise to Walker. It was amazing that the elder had made one pair of arms but having multiple was even more amazing.Â

There was a door in this hallways that had a few markings. The elder pulled a key and unlocked it showing off that it was for his personal use. Within were many hammers of different quality and materials. Among some damaged armors and helms, Walker found that there were even more materials that seemed useless but for mementos from the past.Â

When Walker saw a wall full of holders he realized that there were intricate arms made of many metals and rune carved variations. These were the sets of arms the elder had made for himself for when he was in need of a new pair.Â

Walker was shocked to see the elder place the bag of grand elemental crystals down and move a few gears on the broken arm. The sound of it hitting the ground was terrifying since all that was left was a metal section glowing with mana on his shoulder. Before Walker could fathom how this worked the elder attached a dark green arm and then detached the other and replaced it with the opposite green arm.Â

"That is much better. I hated only having one arm that worked. These should hold up better if I test more spirit forging. But for now, let's go and see those spirits." The elder was casual and picked up the back of grand elemental crystals.Â

Walker was at a loss for words and meekly followed. When the elder locked the door behind him he handed Walker the bag of grand elemental crystals. You can carry them. I realized that it is easier to just have the person who I am giving them to carry them." Walker couldn't argue this and just smiled weakly while he stored them away. The earth elemental spirit had been quiet while resting within the shield but began to stir as it felt the fellow elemental spirits as they approached another room.Â

"This is the hall of spirits. It is where we house most of the dormant elemental spirits we have procured and some of the active ones. I think...we will have a hard job of making amends here." The elder was worried about how the spirits would react but held his breath in hopes that Walker would be able to speak to them.
