Chapter 2361: 2361. Meeting Before
"You need a healer to go with you." Walker had barely made it to the large room where the group of adventurers and the team following him were meeting. It had only been a few hours and that was enough to get everyone and everything coming together. Efficiency was always on the rise.
However, that efficiency meant that communication was happening much faster. Specifically, gossip in some i not many ways too.
"Alice? I thought you were busy right now?" Walker had made things clear with Alice after the events with the bridge to the elemental planes. She had been somewhat unhappy that Onyx and Aurora had gotten in to such a risky situation.
As much as Walker had reprimanded the two of them, or at least planned to since he could only tell Alice what he would be saying, she had still made her own points clear. She had made sure to add to the reprimand and punishments for being so at risk coming to the pair when they woke up from their rest.
That was not the most important part though. She had made it very clear that she was also not happy with Walker. She had yelled at him a little about him also taking these risks. He had been rushing off to every large problem like this in the past month at least.
Whether it had been related to the intense amount of manas from the elements planes, or the risky ancient ruins. He had been part of it in some shape, wary, or form. Not to mention the recent events within the poison jungle dungeon where even he had been at risk whether that risk was a poison or the fact that he had to hold himself back leaving himself somewhat vulnerable while battling there.
As this had been the case, she let him have an earful about what she thought when it came to the way he had been acting. It was why he had been stuck at the desk for the past few days as well. Not just the fact that he had a lot of work he could help with there. Alice had made sure that he felt enough guilt to tie him down for a while.
That was until she heard he would be rushing off to a previously dangerous place that he had been to and always found his life in peril. She had no good words to be said about this being the case too. She knew very well that she would rather make sure he was safe herself then just trust others right now.
"I thought you would be working with the new healers again? You were working with a dragon hatchling too. Shouldn't you be-"
"Busy? No. I am going with you." The light shifted slightly showing that Allice was just stubborn enough that she could not and would not bridge on this.
The last member was another girl who wore very bright red leather armor and had multiple rune carved wands on her belt. They were all radiating some fire magic and her clothing was gathering the ambient fire mana in to them. Walker had learned that some mages were struggling and had found new paths to use their spells in special ways because the mana in the air was denser.
That's how he picked her out as the quick fire mage capable of using certain spells very quickly by storing mana within wands that she could use as soon as she touched them. It was limited in the strength and the variety of spells, but allowed for much faster attacking without loss of motion or time in battle.
"We will be allowing your group to move without any direction from us. This is still your quest. Do not forget that. However, when it comes to any major danger, you will listen to our orders. You will also be allowed to ask any questions and concerns you may have when we rest. That will be decided by your team. You five are the lowest level and require rest more often. Is
that clear?"
Hearing that their hero was leaving things to them was a bit shocking. Yet, they also understood that this was just their safeguard. A chance to take a quest while also needing to show their own levels of education and preparedness. Beyond that, they were not being carried anywhere with no risk. They had to handle themselves appropriately.
