Walker had taken a great deal of time to speak to each and every single demon that had woken up. His conclusion was that there was more to this than he understood. The world had the rules that every race had believed as true for all they could remember. That after a certain age gaining a system is impossible. However, there were demons who were being given another chance here if they helped toplete a major chain quest that would free their people.


    On top of all this, there was the fact that besides the will of the world, there was a demon lord who had sent a general to attack the humans just to weaken them. They hadpletely abandoned the demon general Pride and their army as soon as the job was done and now the kingdom had lost almost all of its'' harvest for the year.


    To add to all of this, Walker was stuck wondering how all of this would fit together and what he would do. He still wanted to rest and rx. He still wanted to go and help with the building of Genesis city. And he still wanted to train and learn more skills. There was also finding a fire elemental spirit to join him andplete the staff he wanted to make. There was just too much.


    Walker had been sitting in the same position staring at a wall for who knew how long when he felt a poke to his cheek. When he turned he saw the crinkled face he had wanted to see for quite some time. Alice was worriedly gazing in to his eyes wanting to know how she could help him.


    "Sorry I haven''te to find you just yet. Things are a little..plicated." Walker had told all of the information to Markus Reven when he returned and also to his party members. They were all very confused and unsure how to proceed and decided to do what they could for the moment.


    Markus had made an excuse that he could not report to the king just yet and was ordering his guards around to help where they could and also return the weapons to the royal armory. Some adventurers had fallen in love with the weapons and surprisingly, Markus had drawn up contracts with the help of some assistant to work out payment programs or even job ces with the castle or army. Walker felt that Markus was a much better person than he had thought even after realizing his first impression was wrong.


    Alice shook her head and sat down next to Walker looking at the same wall he was. She leaned against him slightly making Walker feel like he was finally back home. The stress seemed to melt off his shoulders in a way he had not realized. His body was heavy but he recalled that he had brought a souvenir for Alice.


    "I have been waiting to give you this since I found it in the forest elf city. It''smon there for elves with certain passive skills that cause them to lose mana through normal actions. Let me read the appraisal for you. I know you said you wanted to get the control of your speech by yourself and your own power. But I thought you might like a gift, for when you identally speak or just want to talk.."


    Alice was looking at Walker with a very serious expression. She still thought the same but depending on what Walker said from the appraisal she would choose to take it or leave it. It was not out of distaste that she would leave it, just out of the desire to control her own skills herself.


    "Ehm, I will read it word for word."


    ''Mana Locking Bracelet


    Inscribed with two unique runes. The copper and silver bracelet is able to lock mana within the body. The mana that would escape and influence certain things due to passive skills will be unable to leak out unless the user desires it to do so. This mana locking bracelet will also be able to keep the user from having their mana forcefully taken by other skills. This bracelet was crafted from elven silver and elven copper allowing it to absorb very small amounts of natural mana to boost the wielders'' ailment resistance minimally.''


    Walker didn''t stop looking in Alices'' eyes the entire time. He was not only captivated by them but also sure she was making sure he was not lying to her at all. She knew that if he was she would not be able to look her in the eye and that she would not ept the bracelet at all.


    When she held out a hand and raised an eye brow Walker was lost, "Um, do you want it?" Alice just looked down at her hand again prompting him to realize she was waiting for him to put in on her.


    Walker slid the bracelet on her wrist and felt a slight change in the mana around her body but nothing more. She leaned in to Walker again and closed her eyes while humming. Walker was amazed that this was what she chose to do first with it. However, he did not say a word. He leaned in to Alice as well and closed his eyes to enjoy her sweet humming. He needed the pure moments to organize his thoughts.


    Shortly after Alice had stopped humming, Walker noticed it was because she had fallen asleep. She had been running about healing the injured as well and she was more tired than the party was. Walker was d she had epted the gift and felt he was more full than ever before. Now he just needed to decide on what he would say to the king and the demons. His choice would change the course of history. Yet, that seemed to be every other daytely.
