Chapter 1156 - 1156. Rare To Hear

Since it appeared that Remey was occupied, Alma and Walker took their leave. Walker also wanted to go see how Gil was doing with the archery academy and his goals. Unfortunately, he seemed to have ended up with too much on his plate for the day. It was also not a major goal to improve his archery skills since Walker was more focused on magic than anything. He did wonder if he could use his elemental magic to create arrows on the go. 

This wasn't something major in his mind but he had the idea that he would be able to help Gil if he ever ran out of arrows. It would be a rare scenario since Gil made plenty of arrows and had his special quiver which held a near infinite amount. Yet, it would be good if Gil couldn't use any of the elemental arrows that he made. Walker could manipulate the area around them and create an arrow that didn't have the mana condensed within so that it would do purely physical damage. 

There was also the fact that Walker had been neglecting learning to create himself weapons out of the elements he could control. He had the frost whip skill and a few others related to earth a wind elemental mana. But he should look for a general combination of them that worked without the use of the eternAl orb. It would be bad if he was in a situation and could not rely on the eternal orb for whatever reason, then he would need to pull weapons from his inventory or make one on the fly. 

He could always rely on his storage for weapons and other things. But in the midst of battle, it may not be optimal to pull out a sword, hammer, scythe, or even dagger. It could be too easy to predict. But when he created a weapon from an element around him it would be a surprise that an enemy never saw coming. That was the benefit to being able to use close combat and magic. Something that Walker needed to train together with his dance of seasons skill. The dance of seasons would radically change the way Walker battled if he could train with it more. He had just been too busy lately. 

His thoughts kept him occupied until the cathedral loomed in front of him. He had nearly walked straight in to the high priest who was just standing up from a bench near the front to greet him. "I think you need to take a seat instead of me. You're looking a little distracted." The high priest knew the feeling of being deep in thought. He had often pondered the future of members or the cathedral itself. 

"I just have a lot going on and can't seem to find the time to train. I kind of wish I had a time stop skill or one of those magic portals to a training world with sped up time. But if I get skills like those I think I will end up distant from my family and end up a completely different person." 

The high priest wasn't sure how to respond to this. Of all the things to be thinking about, Walker was thinking of time magic. "You know, I would never think of such things. So many times people wish for more time but in the end, do we really want it? Would we grow apart from those we love? I think at my age I always want more time but if I had it would I actually do the most with it? I can't say, but you have a very good point." There were some enlightening feelings with what Walker had said. These things also resounded with Walker because he knew he would be living much longer than a normal human now. It was something he had yet to come to terms with in any sort of way because it was hard to wrap his mind around.

"So, what brings you here today? Coming to check on Onyx? If he stays here any longer he might just eat too much light elemental mana." The high priest knew what Onyx ate and that the cathedral attracted light elemental mana in the form of healing easily. Since Onyx had been there he was able to help the heavenly serpent egg hatch and eat without issue. There was also the bonus of easily training with his light elemental skills. 

Walker shook himself out of his own head and replied, "Yes, I also want to see Alice since I have been gone again. I heard that she was training with Su to learn a new skill. I thought it might be good to watch and learn." Walker was not used to condensing the light elemental mana in to a physical form. If he managed to watch Su and Alice train then he might get some hints on how to do so as well. 

"If you watch them I think you will have it down sooner than you think. Those shields that Alice makes might not take many hits but they can stop Su for a moment. You and I both know that Su is a tough young woman." It was rare to hear the high priest commenting on someone's toughness and strength. The fact that he had such an idea of Su meant that he had been very impressed with her training. 

"Su has saved many people and will keep on doing so. If I ever need someone to protect me I trust that she will be there even before I know I'm in danger." It wasn't so much as Walker's bond with Su but the feeling he had. Su was just the kind of person to always be there when someone needed protection or a shoulder to lean on. She truly cared for others.
