Chapter 1068 The Wind Hero's New Disciple

"Overgeared? What does that even mean?" Luck wondered, raising an eyebrow.

"It means I'm going to equip you with as many stat boosting little equipment pieces as I can and boost your overall power." I said. "I was already thinking about making some mass-produced recipes of my items, and I've got plenty of EXP to enchant them."

"W-Would you be willing to go so far for me?" Luck was about to be in tears.

"Let's call it an investment. But I'll make the items general availability, meaning that I'm only handling them to you temporarily! I'll take them back once you're done." I said.

"S-Sure!" He nodded, thanking me.

"I'll give you some Elixirs too, I've got a bunch stacked in the inventory... Oh, how about some Bombs too? Those just count as items, so I doubt it matters." I wondered.

"At this point he'll be cheating...!" Mist said.

"Hahaha, well, it's better than nothing." Lara said. "I hope it counts as doing it himself even with the help of items."

After that conversation, I finished the cream puffs by cutting them in half and adding a lot of cream inside, and then pouring caramel on top.

At the end, it was enough to make close to thirty Cream Puffs with Extra Caramel on top, they looked beautiful!

After that, I placed them on the table with the rest of the breakfast mom and dad prepared. Shade and Nepheline ended waking up very late, and Ninhursag had gone out to wander the Sunstone Plateau one last time.

She already had a Goat in her beast transformations repertoires, so she must have gone material collecting, or something else...

Though, when she came back, it was a bit shocking.

"I-Is that..."

"Meeehee!"

It was a baby Sunstone Plateau Goat! It was around a meter tall already, but it was indeed a baby of these colossal beings.

"It's nice!" Lara nodded.

"I love it!" Mist agreed.

"A pretty name." My mother agreed.

"Sunstone Plateau Goats are super strong, so once it grows up, it will be a very competent familiar!" My father said. "It'll help you move through any terrain too. And carry you on any travel."

"I suppose..." Ninhursag nodded. "I just adopted her on a whim though... This just shows how the future is always uncertain. Anyways, where's Zack?"

"He's coming over there." Nepheline pointed at the distance, as we were already enjoying breakfast, the cream puffs were given to my mother first though.

"So what's going to be the training, master?! Should I start hunting monsters only using wind magic, maybe?!" Zack asked uncle Arafunn. "Maybe I should sit down and mediate the wind energy or something? Do you have a wind cultivation technique I could learn from you?!"

Wait, did he call my uncle "master"?!

"No, no, Zack. For now, you have to feel the wind in your body, you know?" Arafunn said. "I want you to be in perfect harmony with the wind, with your spirit and your emotions. First of all, compose me a beautiful song that you'll sing to the wind itself."

"...What?!" Zack was shocked by that. "A song?! Why would I even make a song? How's that making me any stronger, master?!"

"You insolent little- Ah! Patience, patience..." Arafunn sighed. "You see, music is part of my heart and my connection with the wind, melodies and songs are a product of our voice, a voice is like the winds of our body, you see? Harmonizing with the winds is like singing a song. The more emotions and feelings this song possesses, the stronger your affinity with the wind becomes. The Wind Spirits recognize a good singer when they see it!"

"T-This is hard to process..." Zack sighed. "I know you're a singer and a bard and I respect that, but I am not one!"

"I... I just don't have another method of teaching you, dear." Arafunn shrugged. "Take it or leave it."

"Uuughh..."

It seems my friend Zack has been picked as the Hero of Wind's disciple, and the first task he had was to make a song!

I am looking forward to your struggles, my dear friend, heheh!
