Master Of None

Chapter 1281: 1281. No, I Will Do It

”Thatʼs Walker. Itʼs Onyxʼs older brother. And heʼs your family too.” The whispers of who people were to Arora were very soft. But everyone still seemed to hear them. Arora was still asleep in her arms but it seemed that it didnʼt matter. Alice would introduce her to everyone as many times as it took to show her the world.

There was a look of pure unfiltered happiness on Aliceʼs face before she had strolled out of the room toward the high priestsʼ room to show off Arora. The sudden collapse had not affected her but she had seen it was sure that he would be resting the rest of the day. The reasons had not been known just yet however, she was sure to learn in the coming day.

”The High priest is resting. I canʼt believe he got a title. I feel like I should take more time to get to know him.” Walker had to admit that it was something he had missed. He had been busy and let the other people in his life that werenʼt directly family slip away.

”He is a very good person. Everyone relies on him for advice and help here. When he retires fully I think the new high priest will have a little trouble filling his shoes.” IOnyx had seen a lot of the high priest lately and was able to see this all clearly. The high priest was someone he had also confided in when he worried about the abyssal serpents.

That was why the high priest had been able to be harder on Onyx when he took the lead on their journey to the ravine.

Since Walker understood he would need to play catch up and find the books written about the high priest that the nun mentioned, he decided to change the subject. ”Do you think we should let the tamers know that there are abyssal serpent eggs around, along with heavenly serpent eggs? I donʼt think all of them will want to stay with each other. Some might want to explore the world a little.”

”I donʼt want them to. But they might. Everyone is different…” Onyx didnʼt want to admit so easily that some of his fellow serpents would want to go off with tamers instead of helping to make their species a fully fledged race. ”If thatʼs what they decided then so shall it be. But not until they have hatched.

They should not be dropped in to it before they are ready to decide and understand what that means. Myself and Aurora are special cases. We wouldnʼt have had a chance if others like us didnʼt exist so we needed someone to hold on to.

Thereʼs still no guarantee that the other heavenly serpents will hatch.” While it was always a possibility an egg would be unable to hatch, the chances were low if properly cared for.

”I understand. Then how about we ask Elise to look for someone to help raise them? You will be busy with other things at times and canʼt overlook the hatchlings at all times. The eggs took a lot of your attention anyways to purify the light elemental mana. Alice will also be busy. You need a few people to make up the difference.” This occurred to both of them equally.

Onyx might be busy with the hatchlings so he would be unable to spend time helping the eggs hatch. That would leave him and Alice switching off between the two with no time to rest or do other things.

”Brother, I will go. You donʼt need to worry about it. I will use it as a chance to show the little ones the city. They are already trying to peek out from here. They are curious. So was I.

I watched everything and learned as fast as possible. Iʼm not sure that they will learn as fast as me but they will be close.” Just as Onyx spoke, Walker watched one of the hatchlings raise its head out of the shadows.

”Then I will let you take the lead. I thought you would want to anyways. Just let me set up the remaining crystals that you had me bring. By the way, what is in the other crates you had me store away?” Walker had still never received an answer to this.

”You will find out when the battle competitions happen. I already spoke with Scylla to register me. Tamers will have their own division where I will fight. Just donʼt look, I want to surprise everyone. Also, I wonʼt go against those ants.

I need to be here.” This was expected since Onyx would need to catch the abyssal serpent hatchlings up on Genesis and what they would have a chance to do with their lives. He also had to become a full time teacher to them until they could roam around themselves and decide if they would make themselves a home or join the mansion as a home. ”By the way brother, shouldnʼt you head to meet Clara?

She should have heard everything by now.”

”I should. I was kind of avoiding it since I know I will be very busy. Iʼll need to head out and help with giant earth ants, but I know that I will most likely end up watching the dwarves use their golems. But who knows what I will learn.” There was a benefit and a downside to going away again.

Walker would learn a lot about war strategy and how the dwarves operated against an enemy that could completely take over their mines if left alone. But he would miss out on experience, not only in leveling but mostly in the fact that he wouldnʼt be able to refine his skills more. He had so much to train that it wasnʼt even funny. But that just left him with a problem to solve for later.
