Chereads / Ethereal Equilibrium : The Dungeon Masters & The Heroes / Chapter 36 - Tea, Talks, and Tensions: Confrontation and Conversation

Chapter 36 - Tea, Talks, and Tensions: Confrontation and Conversation

when both of us satisfied our hunger, now turning back to the last topic that Saul brought up, since he won't speak something useless and joking just to tease someone, while asking him in low voice so only Saul can hear me.

"so let's get serious, why do you want me recruit her?"

"it is because she has a pure soul, she can learn a special skill I know to become the best guardian, and especially she is a Hero."

"that's the problem, she is a hero."

"I already explain to you in the first place the Dungeon Master is an architecture who build a testing ground for the brave and worthy."

"yeah that's the past now the world doesn't think so isn't?"

"so what's the skill you are going to teach her."

"basically it is a skill to buff your unit with the same amount of will the caster use, so they became a walking defensive wall, and even undead can be bless by it because it is not a holy attribute skill but using the soul power of that person."

"so can you use it since you are a Soul Dragon King?"

"well I can but having another person won't hurt you and when using such skill I need to focus on that skill alone making me very easy to pick on."

"yeah let's save that idea for later."

since seeing both of us finished eating the blond girl now approach both of us while also a group of girl wearing a maid outfits was following her.

"so since you guys are full can we continue talking?"

"ok then, is there any way for you guys to contact Darius or Alistair?"

"I already sent someone to inform them that you're waiting, and they both replied to entertain you."

"ok then bye, I don't need anything, on second thought I want a water with ice cube or anything that taste neutral, I ate to many meat dish."

she immediately signal one of the maid to help bring my request, while the rest start to clean all the plate both Saul and I use, after that they continue by asking Saul what he need, but it seems he only ignored them and continue sleeping.

"you guys can ignore him, think of that Dragon over there is dead, he will call you guys on his own."

hearing my words they all bowed and help the other maids to clean up the dishes, seeing this I took a book that was given by Saul about the different level of attribute from the very basic to the origin level kind of attribute.

for example the attribute of wood, fire, earth, metal, water, etc is basic attribute and a more advance type is wind, light, dark, light, lightning, a person have a affinity for certain attribute depending on his race and talents, the affinity is not fixed, they can be acquire through training but those who are talented can progress faster.

the books discus many debate on the relation of each attribute with each other and it's advance form until it reach the law class attribute such as Time and Space, Absence (Null), Life and Death and so on, the book only briefly mention the origin class attribute leaving a passage.

'Origin is your beginning as well as your End, one may be alike but they will differ from one another' - Unknown Person.

many clue can be seen from this passage but it branch to many understanding, but two stood out among the rest saying you can't have more than one owner of certain origin or every one have their own origin the problem is how to un-earth or discover it.

while reading this book the maid have finished the cleaning of the banquet place, and the door of the hall opened, there a maid bringing a cart, on top of that there's dessert and snack as well a tea set.

the maid push the cart near us and started to serve me a slice of chocolate cake, after preparing the snack she started to make the tea for me.

suddenly the sleeping dragon started to wake up and flew up and perch himself on my shoulder.

"kid what are you eating there?"

"cake, it is a sweet snacks usually we eat this after finishing our meal."

"I see, so you're reading what I wrote for you, this book contain valuable knowledge, since after you advance to beyond the 10th tier the battle tend to focus more on the control over attribute, since you can advance the 10th tier that means your mana control is already perfect."

while both of us are talking we forgot about the blond girl, after noticing her I started to talk to her.

"say I have never ask your name, so what's your name?"

"so you finally notice me?"

"well after all we are talking valuable information, so yeah can't give you benefit until this problem is solve can we?"

"ok let put that aside first, and let me Introduce myself first. My name is Jeanne."

"well nice to meet you, you can just call me Raiya since it is easier to call each other with name."

"ok then Raiya."

we both talk about common topics, asking the condition and situation on the people living in the city, their condition after the Rupture, as well the progression on their strength, because seeing that from the ambush the strength of their members relied on items as their core.

this topics is quite interesting to ask to Saul after we are alone.

as for the strength of the higher up in the city, the one who stood up the most is in fact Alistair, while he is not a hero but the control of his mana and attribute is quite subtle and smooth.

after enjoying the tea and cake for a while, the door opened and the two person that I've been waiting finally came.
