Master Of None

Chapter 941: 941. Walls

”If you were not a member of Walkerʼs party, I would recruit you to the cathedral in a heartbeat. I couldnʼt ask for a more knowledgeable and helpful volunteer.” The high priest had already been impressed multiple times by how well Su worked.

Now that he was looking at the perfectly organized medical cabinet, he knew that she had learned just what the healers would need to reach for the most and easiest. This was only obtainable through close attention and time.

”It is just what I can do to help. I enjoy coming to help and being able to play a small part in setting up the place that will save many lives, is an honor.” Su had seen the quests popping up and knew that Walker was accepting them constantly. She was already at the cathedral and decided to help set up the rooms and storage areas with the few other healers and nuns that already arrived.

It was part quest and part of her joy to do.

”I spoke with the head stone mason over there and he told me that the rest of the wall and outdoor alter would be finished in three days. Then we have hopes to have another crystal brought from over the mountains for its healing aura. But thatʼs another matter.”

Su had noticed that the high priest seemed excited by the new crystal coming for the cathedral. She had wondered where they came from and how they were made but didnʼt see or hear any answers. From the way the high priest acted it was certainly a secret. But she did know that there was a harbor with the main cathedral over the mountains and across the desserts.

That was where the head of all churches was; the pope.

The title was mostly honorary since they were the same as a high priest. The only difference was that they were selected based on their high merits in the church and would be able to run the main cathedral. The main cathedral was the one that was first built and had existed for over a hundred years apparently.

Since it was so far away and the human port city was so unknown to their kingdom, they just didnʼt pry in to it too much. The only person that had real facts would be the high priest.

”High priest! The pews just got here from the carpenters!” The shout pulled the high priest away from Su. He was pushing through the constant work but she could tell that he was tiring fast. He had been the high priest for many many years, but it was clear that his decision to mark a successor was the right one.

Since she had just finished the task at hand, Su decided that she would sit for a moment. The cathedral wasnʼt fully open due to the current construction. There were the odd injuries from builders, but that wasnʼt enough to stop the healers from working. Alice soon flopped down next to her looking just as tired as the high priest did.

”You look like you have been working hard too.” Alice smiled in response with a soft nod. Between singing during the carriage ride and starting to stock the cathedral, it was taking a toll on her.

”Walker?” There wasnʼt really a question there but Su knew that Alice was wondering if Walker was coming to help as well.

”Iʼm sure he will come at some point. My best guess is he got caught up helping someone on the way and now he is building something or something we least expect him to be doing.” The two shared a serious look before bursting in to laughter.

”Thatʼs the way kid! Just keep up the rhythm and we will have that wall pulled up in a second.” The dwarf carpenter was encouraging Walker as he and another pair of dwarves hoisted the third wall of a new building up. The structure was basic but a lot heavier than Walker had imagined. He had been walking past them and saw the rope slip from their hands.

One dwarf had smashed his thumb with a hammer and needed healing. So, Walker helped to pull the walls up one by one.

His next goal had been the cathedral then he would tour the rest of the city. The weight suddenly reduced and he felt that the rope was weightless. ”Midnight!” Behind him was Midnight with Onyx on her back. The rope was clutched between her teeth as she pulled back to help. ”I wasnʼt sure what you two had gotten up to.”

The wall reached the spot needed for the dwarves to hammer in the nails. They had it done in just a moment and they were pushing for the fourth wall to be hoisted up. Midnight and Onyx helped with that one as well and it was up and nailed in to place even faster than the last wall. ”Brother, we went to explore the areas being built still.

There are homes that have entryways on the second floor as well.” This addition seemed to be confusing for Onyx. ”Sister says it is for when the dragons move in, but I do not believe they will come to live in such small homes.”

”No. I donʼt think they are the ones that will fly in to there. I would have to say it is for the harpies from the demi-human kingdom. Remember that there are other monster races trying to become considered a sentient race.” Onyx felt he had been blind to something so obvious. Of course, they would accommodate harpies if they were moving to Genesis.

”I wonder if Kroll will come. He might be pretty shocked seeing this. But he is part of the alliance too” Walker felt that if the goblins came it would cause a stir with the other kingdomsʼ coming, but nothing too major. It would be an interesting happening.
