Master Of None

Chapter 507: 507. Guidance

Soon after they had seen the sights of the market Onyx and Midnight led them down a familiar path toward an open space. ”Where are we going? I can not see anything that looks mysterious like you spoke before.” Monty was the one who was willing to vocalize his curiosity over Sirius who just showed it in his face.

Scylla had yet to lose her excitement and was just eagerly following along. She knew that she could trust Walker and his party to lead them properly and did not even question the odd way they were traveling.

When they entered the small field and were instantly shown the massive field the shock was immeasurable. ”How did we get here? Was that teleportation? Isnʼt that impossible magic just for story books?ʼ This was the first time that Sirius had spoken which was making Walker want to finally engage him in conversation.

Unfortunately, as soon as he gave the leopard demi-human a look the silence grew stronger.

”This is my space for the unicorns to grow safely. Little dragon and little serpent. Who have you brought with you?” The elderly half elf man was already walking around the demi-humans with curiosity. ”So they have opened the city up to more than just humans huh? interesting. ”

”And by the way, it is a condensed space of sorts made using my skills as someone whose sole goal is to raise and protect the unicorns here. If any of you dare to do anything I do not support or they do not like I will end you.” This attitude from the old man was much more intense than previously. Walker was taken back.

”Yes sir. If my two young warriors act out of line I will not halt any punishment and even add my own. Thank you for protecting such a species. If I may, can I please ask some questions so that I may bring back some information to assist our future queen in her personal growth?”

Scylla was acting exceedingly polite on this front making Walker even more confused.  ”Brother, our friend is using a skill that shows his level to those he wishes to intimidate. We are not affected because he trusts us.” Onyx answered the curiosity Walker had on his face.

”And young hero, the little ones have been waiting for your next visit. I listen to the gossip and hear you have an interesting sword skill. If you decide to use it you may help them burn some energy. They had been eager to use their charging horn strike skill.” The man spoke with warmth and guidance towards Walker. ”Of course your two demi-human friends may watch, but they may not participate.

I do not forget which race forced the unicorns out of their homes first.”

This sudden fact made Walker understand the treatment that the guardian had been showing the demi-humans. If they were the race that had started to hunt the unicorns so strongly that they fled their home grasslands then it was the start of their near extinction.

Walker nodded and followed Midnight who had ran ahead to play with the unicorns. The young ones in the herd ran towards them and circled them obviously excited. The two demi-human warriors were frozen in place watching this, they couldnʼt move due to the fear they had just felt after meeting the elder that was watching over the unicorns.

Even more so they didnʼt know how to process the fact that there were a species of monsters in front of them that had been believed to be extinct. It wall all too much to handle at the moment.

Scylla readily explained the reason behind her wanting to know more information on unicorns and their lifestyle. ”I understand that I am asking a lot from you. If you are not able to share because you do not trust us I will stay as long as needed to earn that trust. But our future queen would greatly benefit from this information.

Her unicorn traits are rare as it is, but if she continues this way we believe she will be without mana for life.”

The situation had been much different from what Scylla had told Walker and the others. King Rorick really did not marry her yet due to his goal and pride to make their people safe. But the future queen having the unicorn traits and staying inside away from others was just the tip of the iceberg. The real problem she was kept inside was due to her weak constitution.

The future queen often held very little mana within their body to no avail. This was made worse when she was moving around and tried to use her skills. ”I can tell you have never properly learned about unicorns. They must not be kept inside and sheltered. They are a wild and free creature that gains their light elemental mana from being bathed in it from all sides.

They should be in a field of open grass. Even in the most brutal storms they stand out and enjoy the space. Lightning canʼt even fell them in the fields.”

The guardian heard Scylla and saw the reasons for the weakness as clear as day. It wasnʼt growth problems or anything like that, it was the wrong environment for the traits the future queen possessed. ”Could it really be so simple? Have we really been harming her by keeping her inside?”

”Of course you thick headed demi-humans have. Send her to those farming fields your kingdom is so proud of. I hear they are expansive and you even have a general to guard them. There should be no problem letting her roam them and heal.” The guardian was in a huff over this. He hated that they had not even learned anything about the unicorns they nearly forced to die out.

”Thank you for your guidance. I will use an item to send a message to my king regarding this immediately. I hope that we may rely on you if her health ever declines.” Scylla bowed low to show her deepest respect for his assistance.

”Hmm, I guess their people have grown slightly in the past years.” The guardian watched as Scylla walked a little ways away.
