Chapter 464 - 464. Midnight's Snack
"We will be going to the dwarven kingdom. We should wait until we get there and ask around. I bet there is someone who specializes in appraising ores." Su was right on with the logic. The party was planning to head to the dwarven kingdom so all they needed to do was wait and ask someone there.
"Perfect. Then we will hold on to it until then." Walker stored the blood iron ore away and looked at the last few pieces of ore.
'Iron ore…
Copper ore…
Thousand year old amber
This was once tree sap. After one thousand years of pressure, it has become a smooth clear stone the color of dark honey. Normal ambers are used for high class jewelry. The older the amber the more qualities it has for a magical accessory. This thousand year old amber was formed in the strong earth elemental mana making it a perfect enhancer for earth elemental mana based skills. When accessories are made from it they will gain the effect of increasing earth related skills power.'
"This is a jackpot. We should try and gamble some time." Gil was convinced that the party had some crazy luck and thought they should go to one of the bars with gambling card games.
"We might be lucky, but we aren't gambling lucky. So get the idea of wasting all our gold out of your head." Remey and Su both Gave Gil some evil glares. Walker could only shrug and support them.
Gil looked down dejected. But Walker had other ideas for this great find. "Would anyone be upset if I wanted to keep this for my staff one day?" Walker was thinking that he might be able to find items that could increase the strength of every element to use on a magic staff that could channel every element. With the elemental mana crystals that he already had, it would be a perfect weapon.
"Sure, I can't use magic so I would rather you take it. Remey had no reason. Gil was also shaking his head since he was c9ontent with his wither spike arrows. He could imbue them with whatever element he needed anyways.
"Leader, I would only want it if I had an earth related defensive skill, but you are the one able to make earth walls so you should keep it."Su was very logical in her thinking. To her, Walker would make the best use of it so he should have it.
"Thank you. I hope that when I have everything I think I need I can make something that can really make us the best party in the world." Walker could only let his ego grow until he realized that everyone was looking at him while holding back laugher.
"Fine, fine, let's check these last two." Walker picked up the jagged looking ore and used his all around appraisal skill,
'Fossilized bone shard
This shard of bone has sat below the earth for hundreds of years. It is ideal for necromancy based systems and can be used to create powerful undead. The creature it was from has long been forgotten but the strength of the beast is still within.'
"It's not an ore at all! I never would have thought we would have found fossils down there." Walker was looking at the item and realized that it was giving off a unique darkness elemental mana.
"I wonder why it was in the moles' nest. Do you think it mistook it for ore and grabbed it anyways?' Gil had this as the main theory but before he could keep speaking Midnight had stood up.
"Brother, sister says that she would like to eat that. It smells tasty to her." Onyx was quick to translate Midfnight's thoughts making Walker wonder if it was wise to let her have it. Hew was worried that she could be negatively affected but knew that she had eaten bones and every elemental mana crystal before.
With a quick look at the party, he saw that no one objected to this and handed it to Midnight anyways. He knew that she wouldn't try to eat something dangerous on purpose and expected her dragon instincts to stop her from eating it if it was not safe.
Midnight snapped up the fossilized bone and crunched it in to pieces. She seemed to be enjoying the flavor and had a soft growling almost like the purring of a cat. The fossilized bone was soon gone from sight and now rested within Midnight's stomach. She looked to have filled herself and was getting very tired.
Walker could feel the mana around them getting agitated as Midnight absorbed the unique darkness elemental mana from the bone. He also had the idea to use his soothing touch skill again on her to make the process smoother.
The moment he used his calming touch skill the mana in the air also calmed. He could tell that Midnight was also resting moire easily while absorbing the bone. "Brother, sister is asleep but she said goodnight." Walker just patted Onyx's head as a thank you. He also pulled out a light elemental mana crystal for him to rest with. He knew Onyx had earned it and he made sure it was one of the high level light elementnal mana crystals. With this, he looked at the last piece of ore on the ground.
