Master Of None

Chapter 1229 – 1229. Ways To Use Runes

The number of questions that Leon had about dragons was more than Walker, Su, or Midnight had imagined. Yet, the more he asked the more excited Midnight seemed to be. She was very happ[y to hear someone so interested in dragons and how the society worked. 

"Well, this is the cathedral. Thanks for the chat. It's weird to think about the living so high in the mountains." Leon was off but now they could understand. The mountains were very different from the oceans where the merfolk lived. Yet somehow, in the mountains there were dragons with incredibly pure water elemental affinity. 

The cathedral was busy as usual. From what it looked like some of the musicians had been creating their own small groups to play together. This would help the cathedral use healing magics more times a day in smaller durations than just one large concert. It was better to save the mana and heal more people. It was also the best way to heal more people in a day when the population of Genesis was constantly increasing. 

A few of the healers and nuns waved as they entered. But it wasn't really the best time for them to stop and chat since so many people were on the way out. It was more important for them to clean up the mess and start to prepare for the next concert later. "Su, isn't that your friend over there? Is that a cello? I thought he played a different instrument?" Walker was surprised because it was normally a very rare case for anyone with a musical based system to change the instrument that they played.

"He said that he had a quest that was going to help him heal more people. I'm going to ask him how it went." Walker had never seen Su rush off so fast. He was contemplating going with her but knew that she might want some privacy so that she could catch up. As much as he wanted to say that the meeting at the royal dragon court had been easy, they had been under a lot of stress. 

"Brother, why are you here?" Walker was called over by Onyx who seemed to have been speaking with one of the healers. The healer gave a wave and thanked Onyx before leaving. 

"Have you been helping the healers?" Walker found himself very curious how Onyx had managed to be able to help. It was clear that he didn't have arms and legs so it would be hard to carry and move the things they indeed. 

"I have been able to wrap around certain patients and help them keep them from bleeding on their arms and legs." The use of Onyx's wrap skill was exceptional. Onyx could control the size of his body and had the muscles for squeezing. This was a brilliant way to help the healers heal while keeping the injured person from losing their health. 

"Nice job." Walker was honestly very proud to say this to Onyx. It was amazing how well Onyx learned and used what he knew. "I thought you would be with the egg. How has it been going?" He hadn't asked Onyx the other night since they had talked mostly about training and improvements. 

"It is going very well. Alice and I have been condensing the light elemental mana. One of the rune smiths and light mages came over and helped us set up the room to hold the light elemental mana better. It is perfect and needs a lot less work. Come on and I will show you." Onyx seemed very excited about this development. 

Following Onyx, Walker was able to come to the room with the heavenly serpent egg. It only took a single glance to see the difference. The door itself had many runes in it all revolving around light. What really surprised him were the darkness runes on the door as well. "So they used darkness runes to help keep the light elemental mana away from the door." The use of opposite elemental manas to work with the desired purpose. 

Onyx pushed the door open right before Walker got too caught up in the runes used on the door. He quickly pushed it closed behind Walker to make sure that the mana was still in the room and would not flow out. The sound of Alice singing came in to focus making Walker's jaw drop. The song she sang was sweet and bright. The pitches moved higher and higher with the words. Unlike the other songs, this was not one for battle so Alice did not make it impossible to understand. Instead, they could hear every word that called the light of day down to them. 

As it came to an end, Walker found that Alice had looked right at him with a smile. "I would ask how you were doing but from what I heard, you have gotten even better," Walker swore he saw Onyx give a smile, which seemed impossible for a serpent. The heavenly serpent egg seemed to be absorbing the condensed light elemental mana and had become even clearer. The outline of a curled up serpent seemed to show through as if it had a light behind it. 

Alice was looking over Walker carefully. "I'm not hurt anywhere. The royal dragon court journey went very well. We ran in to some troubles but made a lot of progress. Midnight is going to have some hatchlings to look after soon since they are being sent from other villages. Actually, where did your sister go? Onyx, did you see her when we came in to the cathedral?" Walker had somehow lost track of Midnight. For a moment he worried that she was using the shadow wrapping skill in revenge against him but after a moment still didn't sense her. He just shrugged and focused on Alice and Onyx.
