Master Of None

The rest of the day passed fairly uneventful as everyone met onyx as they returned home. Gil and his father had been the first to return and had successfully caught a wild boar for dinner.

As they had eaten Helena had thanked the party profusely, and Frederick continued to offer anything they ever needed. Su seemed to be in a radiant mood. She appeared even happier every time her mother started a conversation or spoke with emotion since it had been a rare occurrence with her previous illness. It had seemed Gil's mother and Su's mother were hitting it off as they spoke of the garden and places to relax for tea. Apparently, a gazebo would be built in the spring and a swing was also on the list.

Walker could feel onyx had become tired through their connection. He looked at onyx and wondered where he would like to sleep. Instead, as Walker was about to ask the system notified him.

'Bonded creature onyx has used shadow ink skill on the user.

Onyx has gone in to a form of slumber.'

Before his eyes onyx melted in to a black ink like liquid and absorbed in to Walker's skin. What was left was a snake like tattoo. Walker could feel onyx was asleep and thought this was a great way for onyx to remain safe and warm while he rested. Walker knew he would need to research some more about abyssal serpents on their way from the auction. He wanted to find a book shop or even attend the city library.

Since midnight would still be slumbering to absorb the condensed understanding it would work out well for the party to go to the auction. Walker had a feeling brining a young dragon to a high society event might cause some trouble.

Walker had been lost in thought too long and before he realized it everyone had finished dinner and started to head their own ways for bed. With a quick reminder to the party about the auction he followed suit.

Sleep came easily and ended just as easily, however, the morning was goi to be a bit more interesting.

' daily quest

Purchase any item to enhance your ability within the party.

Reward:

Skill pertaining to the item.'

Walker rubbed the sleep from his eyes seeing the new daily quest. The system had been silent for a few days as if giving them time to rest. Now it had finally come with something new and it was interesting.

Walker knew this was going to be the wildcard in the group since anything he chose could affect the party. However, the question was what kind of daily quest did everyone else get? Would Midnight get one while she absorbed the condensed understanding? These things could keep him theorizing for hours but sadly he could not afford to do so.

The door sounded as if it would fall from its hinges as someone pounded on the other side. "Hey Walker, you got this weird daily quest too right? Walker! Get your butt up and mean in the front hall!" Gil sounded impatient. He must have gotten a daily quest too and wasn't sure what to go with it. Not to mention I'm sure he was faced with Remey and Su as well.

Once he was dressed in his finer clothes he decided to top it off by wearing his travel medal the king gave him along with his new silver tier adventurer plaque. These would surely allow them an easier time conversing with the other guests at the auction. Knowing how nobles thought to a certain degree showing off their standing in both the guild and with the king could get them a significant amount of respect and if not that some common courtesy.

Once Walker had adorned himself as such he met the others who had definitely thought the same. Each had worn their travel medals from the king and also their plaques. They all smirked at each other knowing their smart thinking.

"So the quests, I got one saying on I need to buy an item based on my Ranger system so like do I need a new bow?" Gil couldn't wait any longer, Remey and Su had tried to calm his worry but failed. Gil had just gotten his bow and feared he would have to give it up. It was his dream now how could he trade it away.

Seeing this worry Walker knew immediately where Gil was coming from but had an answer. "No of course not, it just needs to be something related to your system right? So maybe some boots that help you sneak? Or maybe some strong arrows? It could even be new bracers time protect your arm from the bows reverb." The one key thing Gil had missed by focusing on his weapon was that there were many other aspects in his system. "That goes for you too Su, don't only focus on your shield. Remey you and I both know you could use some better armor but if not that then please nothing too crazy." Walker feared Remey would by some insane claws or metal knuckles that she wouldn't use or lacked proper skills for.

"Pfft I don't even know what you're talking about. Like I would even want to buy spikes to put on my boots..." Remey had let it slip. She could feign not wanting them but her attitude spoke the opposite. Everyone else had hope that Walker's warning would be enough. They all also feared Remey getting angry and kicking their butts with spiked boots. Not a pretty sight to imagine.

" I might still buy something for midnight if we see it but I feel like she won't care unless it's food." Walker laughed a bit sure that midnight wouldn't even be interested in the auction anyways. Yet he did know he might encounter something unique to purchase for her.

"Well not to rush everyone but how about we all head out and meet Clara to pick up our tickets at the guild. We can also ask for the results of the basement. We might just have some extra funds for the auction itself!" Walker slipped up allowing some excitement to show. As much as a peaceful morning enjoying the city could be, it seemed all they could think about would be the auction.
