Master Of None

Walker back tracked and picked up the earth dwelling shield finding that it was exceptionally heavy. The weight really spoke to the immense defensive stats it could give. This item would make whoever wielded it much more powerful.

  He was sure that there were other shields that were more powerful just bused on pure defensive or pure magical defensive strength. Yet, having a combination of both to be so high along with the benefit of adding health points, it was exceptional. 

Furthermore, the shield added a skill that the user didn't need their own mana for. It used the mana that the shield stored from the spirit dwelling within. It was also a skill that the user didn't need to activate. This meant that the wielder would have another pair of eyes guarding their back to activate a defensive skill to potentially save their lives. 

"Gil, if you see Su make sure you tell her she needs to speak to me." Walker wanted to speak with the spirit and introduce it to Su. If the spirit was accepting this could be a third shield added to Su's repertoire. The two she had were perfect for her. But this would be a shield that was ideal for single opponents. Her other two shields were ideal for groups and traveling. 

Seeing that Walker had picked up the shield the earth elemental spirit rushed around his feet. It was glad to be leaving the room it had been in for so long. "Water spirit should get a home too. It should have friends. Every spirit!" The earth elemental spirit was ranting about wanting Walker to make dwelling gear for multiple spirits even though he only had one which was dormant. 

Like thunder crashing in the sky, Walker was stopped in his tracks. Many thoughts were crashing through his mind.  "What's wrong? Is the shield damaged? Is there a flaw? Tell me." The elder had believed that Walker had stopped what he was doing due to some problem with the earth dwelling shield. 

"No...I just had a thought that put everything I have wanted together." Walker pulled the water elemental spirit out of his cloak again and looked at the dormant ice like state. "The earth spirit said I should make a dwelling item for this spirit and get more so they can all be friends. I have been trying to gain materials to make a staff with an affinity for every element since I can use every element." 

The elder was understanding what Walker was saying, "So you wish for me to help you build a staff that all spirits can dwell within?" This question made the earth spirit stop and look quizically at Walker. 

"Why all at once? Just find a nature spirit. Grand spirits come together and make nature spirits. They were like me but not earth. They can come together to be a nature spirit. Every element!" Walker felt his eyes being opened. Elise had spoken of spirits combining and losing their consciousness to form a new one of multiple elements. If every element was combined together then it would make a nature spirit of the highest tier.

Walker was the same as Gil. He just looked at the dormant water elemental spirit and at the shield. This entire experience had unlocked so many things for him and given him a direct path to something he desired and was sure to need in the future. 

"I will be needing to see if you have any other high elemental spirits. I have a quest to gather one of each element. I also need to look for any materials that you might have that don't have an elemental weakness." Walker spoke in all seriousness. This was a major development in his life that wasn't directly related to assisting a kingdom. 

The elder wasn't fully sure what had happened but was able to grasp that Walker was following a quest like him. Midnight was also slightly confused but knew that she was still on the way to somewhere that might hold many snacks and that was all she wanted. She was nearly drooling thinking of the earth elemental crystals she had not been able to snack on often that were sure to line the walls of a treasury. The dwarves must find many while mining. 

"Then we will still head to the treasury. None of the kings have a right to tell me what I can and cannot take OR give away. That is a respected right of the eldest and most capable dwarf in the kingdom. That is why so many strive to reach the height of what they can do. If they become the number one then they have any resources they wish." The elder was not modest in explaining this. 

"If that's the case I will not hold back. But I don't expect to take things for free. I will give what you need and I am willing to share what I find in the future. I am sure to find many strange materials and unique items that you might be interested in." Walker was already planning to bring things to the dwarves when necessary. 

"Oh, is there an adventurers guild branch here? If so I can ask the guild to send things through the guild." Walker realized he had never inquired about a guild branch here. The reason being that other things had been on his mind. Now was the first time he had thought of it actively.
