Elise started to giggle a bit more than necessary. A tear in her eye " you're hysterical you just said you made two blood contracts with a straight face." This was something only some of the most powerful tamers could do. Getting the blood contract skill was so rare that if inscribed within a scroll it could sell for hundreds of thousands of gold to a tamer. This was mainly because the user would be so closely bonded that it was hard to distinguish from a master level contract. Not only that but the user of a blood contract shared more than just some bond, it was literal sharing of feelings and information. Not every tamer had an ability to communicate with their tamed beasts, therefore having this ability to communicate was highly sought after.

"Well it wasn't really a joke, it's true. My system gave me this skill. It's been very useful. I know when midnight is hungry, or when onyx is tired. Actually right now onyx wants me to get him one of the light crystals since he is hungry and has just remembered it." Walker produced from his inventory one of the light crystals. Placed it under the table where the two were still hissing and chittering away getting along like the best of friends. Onyx pulled it with his tail and wrapped around it still holding his conversation. Walker then looked at onyx who had started staring at him. "Oh yes I'll get something for you friend to snack on too, I can't be a rude host." Walker checked his inventory looking for something made of metal or good minerals for the hedgehog to snack on. He had held on to some of the broken weapons just in case he wanted to experiment with crafting in the future. He figured now is a good opportunity to see if it's good enough quality for a snack instead. Pulling the hilt of a sword with a slight amount of rust in it "Laurence is this an acceptable item for the porcupine to snack on? I think it's made of some ancient iron. I just worry about the rust."

This had snapped Laurence out of his daze, "umm well yea he can burn away any impurity in his stomach but wait are you sure you can use blood contract?" Walker set the sword hilt down underneath the coffee table and soon hear a small chipping sound. The little porcupine was using its very hard teeth to chip little bits off. It was actually a very interesting phenomenon to witness seeing that this was one of the ways monsters strengthened themselves.

"Well yea, it's annoying because it drains all my mana no matter what but it's pretty amazing. Even now while midnight meditates and learns about darkness and death I'm also feeling a change in my understanding. I can't say I'm gaining much from the death part since I'm not a skeletal dragon which has a strong connections due to its bones. But I can feel the dark mana being affected since I've learned to manipulate darkness element." Again his words were deafening to them.

"Wait so you have a dark affinity?" Elise had realized he wasn't joking and become extremely serious.

"Well no...I can use all the elements..." Walker said this slowly afraid he might be causing them all a heart attack.

Even Riley was looking at him stunned. This just spoke to how crazy it all sounded. "If I was to post a quest specifically asking for your party to travel with us as escorts would you accept?" Laurence knew the three would be reporting to their guild after leaving the city. By bringing the omnipotent party along they knew they would be praised and even promoted. This was because their guild master was the only other person they knew who used blood contract. It also would be valuable for Walker to meet him knowing that as the party leader of said party having the connection was invaluable. The potential of Walkers' party was immeasurable.

"We can introduce you to our guild master, it would also give you a chance to get a bit farther from the city. Naturally, we travel many places as tamers in pursuit of unique beasts. Not to mention, Elise here is after a very unique bird. One that uses darkness as its element so having someone with such affinity could be very useful. Any thoughts?" This was Laurence's plan. If he convinced them to come on an adventure to broaden their horizons and assist them in something rare, then this trip would be a massive boon.

This seemed like a decent proposition, walker knew that meeting the master of the tamers guild would create a strong connection for their party as a whole. Getting out to explore a new area would give them valuable experience especially with their new skills and levels. The search for a rare dark affinity bird sounded tempting, Elise Was most likely looking for a nest to make a contract with an egg of such a species. On the other hand Walker could learn more about taming from the first hand. "It sounds very tempting, unfortunately, we won't leave until midnight awakens, also our manager kind of got angry at us and refuses to give us a quest for a few more days." Walker laughed at the last part a bit embarrassed. This was also a ruse to see what else they were thinking, Walker had already caught on to Laurence and his tricky strategy.

"Well naturally we don't plan on leaving the city for a little while. We can easily extend our stay in an inn." This was nothing to them as they had brought adequate funds in case they needed to stay longer.

"Oh no, I couldn't ask that if you, you three would be staying here. Please feel free we have more rooms than we know what to do with. Plus I'll gladly drag everyone out to the training field." This was the more walker wanted, training with experienced tamers would allow the party to learn how to battle other humans along with a few different monsters. It was an all around benefit. The tamers would gain experience and a better understanding of who they would be traveling with if the party accepting their request.
