Chapter 195: 195: Keeping the deal

Walker was about to leave when he remembered something, "Hey Laurence since nobody else is around this may be the best time to give you half of what we found from that quest." For only a moment Laurence seemed confused.

"That quest? You mean the one that makes things very risky for us because of the value?" 

"Yes THAT one. We did promise to split it half and half." Ribbolt had been told of the quotes to slay the wolves but Laurence had purposefully kept the items they found hidden so that things could remain hidden and safe longer. 

Walker pulled the overfilled backpack out of his storage and let it fall to the coffee table with a hard thwack. The orichalcum ore on the inside bounced together making Ribbolt wonder why a seemingly rock filled backpack was so important. Walker opened the top and pulled out half the ore leaving it in a pile on the table, then quickly stored the bag away again. 

"This is...Where!" This was less of a question and more of an order from Ribbolt. Laurence was pale knowing that if he was not very careful with his response he would be severely punished.

"The quest to slay those wolves was because they had harmed and destroyed a merchant carriage. The reward was that we could take the remaining items, we told you about the mana crystals but omitted the backpack that the quest issuer definitely did not know about. I told Walker to keep it all but he made a deal with me to split it. Now that we have done so our deal is complete." Laurence was not taking his eyes off the pile of Orichalcum ore on the table afraid that they may run away themselves.

"HMM you are all way too lucky, are you sure your party doesn't have a gambler in your midst?" Ribbolt could not fathom just how insane this amount of luck was. This was one of the rarest ores and Walker had just placed half of what they found on the table. They could easily have sold it all for thousands of gold. They could even make some of the best equipment too, only a small amount was needed to greatly increase the qualities of anything crafted with it. 

While Ribbolt made sense of what was sitting in front of him Walker was realizing that if he was able to get the forge at the mansion running and Midnight could level up to the point where she could add her dragon fire to the flames then just maybe they could forge Su new shield with some of this ore. This would fix a bunch of current problems they had and also greatly strengthen them. However first things first, find Su a temporary shield for the trip home. 

Speaking of the trip home he would also need to consider the fact that they would now be bringing along an extra person who would need protecting. The odds were that Remey would handle the majority of the protecting since she had the most experience with younger children, even more so since she had the offensive and defensive ability to block most of the snow imps or ice wraiths attacks. 

"You've given out tamers guild such an impressive amount of orichalcum ore, you had the ability to store it away and keep it hidden but you did not. I more than understand why you are considered a her by the system. You will all be leaving tomorrow morning most likely correct? I will have your reward for the escort quest packaged for you. Along with something else for your entire party to carry." Ribbolt looked very serious but his words were soft and much warmer than they had been before, Walker felt touched by this.

"I'll head out for now then, we will make sure to say our proper goodbyes in the morning. That is if Elise, and Riley aren't still stuck training like crazy." With a small laugh Walker left the office closing the door behind him. Laurence and Ribbolt had begun to talk fast between the two of them. It seemed that Ribbolt had many things he was trusting in Laurence to complete.

Many tamers glanced at Walker as he headed to the resting quarters, the gossip about what happened in the market had already spread to almost everyone. The entire kingdom of Ordist would soon be preaching the kindness and dedication of the Omnipotent party. Thinking of this Walker felt embarrassed but also a sense of pride, they had saved many from the fate of a cursed item. 

Upon entering the resting quarters, spotting the rest of the party was simple. Many of the tamers had left them a wide area to have their own space. This was their way of respecting their status. Walker knew this and was again embarrassed. "So what did Ribbolt have to say? Hopefully nothing too bad?" Gil wore a mask of worry as he asked.

"Well we can't expect king Rorick to just let this go, but since this could all take time we don't have to worry about a war breaking out immediately, things will get all tangled up in politics for a while. I think the biggest worry right now is what we will need to do with the girl we rescued." Walker was looking softly at the girl who had wrapped herself around Remey's arm asleep but still clutching tightly. "She can't go back to the demon territories, and she won't be able to stay here. Both places will not treat her well." Su was looking the most affected by this news, she had already felt her heart break learning the horrible treatment of the girl but now knowing that the girl would have no place to go home to her heart ached more. "This being said, I think she would fit in rather well at our mansion until she finds a place to call home, but that would be up to her. However seeing that she has already laid claim to Remey she may never let go." 

Remey gave a solid glare hearing this but knew it was all because she had the most experience as an older sibling. Walker may have known how to calm his sister Lisa, but Remey had been able to calm all of her younger and even older siblings. The difference was just too much and the girl would have been attached to her no matter what. 

"We also will. Need to ask her some questions and write up a small report for Scylla, as much as do not want to put any more stress on her, Scylla would be even more brutal. Just being around Scylla is tense." Walker remembered the chill he felt from the strength Scylla had shown, not to mention the baby leviathan the had somehow hid underneath her clothing. There were many mysteries he did not wish to solve revolving around that general.

"So when she wakes up we will ask her some things, you can leave it to me and Gil." Remey knew that the less of them that bothered the girl the better. Not to mention if they would be leaving sooner every single one of them shouldn't be occupied with one task. 

"That's right Remey and I will hold this down, you and Su can go find a new shield for Su and grab those seeds and fruit." 

"Oh it's nice to see you haven't forgotten the most important reason we are here." Walker rolled his eyes at Gil while letting his words drip with sarcasm. Su was understandably downcast remembering her shield falling to dust, it had been the best piece of gear she had ever had. Even if it was the worst it was still her favorite and nothing could ever top it. 

"Leader, I don't think we should buy anything fancy. I just need something to get us home. I know you must have plans for when we return." Su was perceptive as always, she could see the gears turning in Walkers head. 

Before Walker could open his mouth to confirm, the girl clinging to Remey had started to stir. She definitely still needed rest but did not seem accustomed to long periods of sleep, most likely due to previous trauma. Her eyelids fluttered a moment before her mind caught up with her body. "Ahpf!" she squealed out a slight yelp, she had just remembered what had happened and now was awake in an unfamiliar place with a group of people she had just met very recently. Remey immediately used her free hand to brush her now exposed green hair, the tiny black horns were very different from Vincent's. This was because there were white lines curving around the girls where Vincent had pure black. Walker could only theorize this was due to the light elemental affinity the girl had. 

Few moments passed as Remey talked her in to a semi calm state. "My name is Remey and this is my adventuring party. We helped the demi-humans capture Vincent, you will not need to worry about him anymore." The girl's eyes were wide and steadily dripping tears. Her facade from the market was long gone and her true emotions were showing.
