The group made their way back to the tree house they were staying. They decided that they were too dusty to do anything else and headed their own ways to clean up. Midnight and Onyx happened to be the dirtiest of the group due to how they fought and traveled.
Onyx had been one of the keys to this last quest due to his ability to feel the vibrations. If Walker had tried to do this he would have constantly been letting off mana that could have alerted the glowing mole ahead of ti. Having Onyx who was naturally more sensitive really helped.
Midnight was just dirty from being hit back by the mole, It had landed a decent attack on her but the damage had been avoided with her quick thinking. She had been getting used to her wings more and more lately making Walker expect her to try and fly any day, it was amazing to him just how fast the two were growing.
As he was getting his thoughts in order Walker realized that there was a small package that had been delivered without any of their notice. He picked up a note attached and found that it Was from Bree;' "" For a job well done. I hope to see you all again soon.""
Walker smiled and took a look at the high elental crystals he had gotten from Bree for their quest. These would be a great snack for Onyx and Midnight but he was going to save the,m for a special occasion. He thought that the two were much too tired for them to want this anyways.
"So, what kind of ores did we get from the mole nest? You didn't say anything about them when you looked at them so I figured that they weren't that great." Gil strolled in to the main room and looked at Walker who had just stored away the crystals.
"I didn't really check them to be honest. They all looked like rocks and I knew it would take forever so I just stored them away. The only reason I checked the egg was that it looked strange and I didn't want to throw away sothing good." Walker was a little embarrassed to admit this. It was not like him to just take and store everything without checking what things were, it betrayed his own curiosity.
"Well, then pull it all out and show us."Su and Rey had been relaxing with so tea that Rey had made and they were equally curious. The only ones that seed not to care were Midnight and Onyx who much rather preferred to lay around and watch from a distance, Walker had a feeling that they were still under the effects of the soothing touch
Walker did as he was asked and a small pile of different shaped rocks hit the floor. So were jagged and others smooth or round. They were all different from normal rockers, however. They had their own features that set them apart as ores making anyone able to tell that they would be worth picking up.
Walker did not hesitate to pick one up and start the round of all around appraisals,
'Iron ore
Extrely common in the earth. Iron can easily rust and degrade in areas with high water elental mana. Iron ore is tough and makes heavy but durable items.
Copper ore
Best when used for jewelry and small magical trinkets. Copper has the ability to be lded with many other ores and can even be used to transmit elental manas when crafted properly.'
The first two did not seem to be very special in general. Walker was reading the appraisals out loud and not a single one of them flinched in surprise or distaste. This was just an expected result so Walker continued on.
' Silver ore
Silver is a rare ore found in the ground near iron ore. It is most commonly used on the blades of weapons. This is due to the easily channeled light elental mana the silver brings to a weapon. This mana can assist in fighting undead type monsters along with other monsters weak to the light elental mana."
"That would have been good for when we were at the ancient ruins." Gil was lanting the late find of this ore. They could have purchased it but silver was much too expensive at the ti.
"Well, we have it now so we should have it ready for the future." Rey wasn't going to dwell on the late find. She would rather watch Walker appraise every piece, it was a great show.
"Leader, we should save it and have weapons made out of it for an appropriate ti. Your inventory is the perfect thing for us to have when it cos to what we need. You could carry an entire armory or dicinal kit."
Su was right about this. Walker had already been gathering many things that helped them in their journey. He was soon going to have sothing for whatever the party needed as they traveled. He smiled at the possibilities but chose not to let his mind run wild. If he started to think on it now he would end up talking about things all night. It was better to get to the main event and check the rest of the ores.
"Blood Iron ore
The blood iron ore is one that has developed for a long period of ti. The iron ore was under great pressure while a living creature perished and bled on to it. Depending on the creature that bled on the ore and for how long then the ore will gain unique properties.'
"I wonder what this is then." Rey wanted the answers but realized that Walker was done speaking. "There's nothing else?" Unfortunately for Rey, Walker just nodded his head to support what she had already guessed.
