While the two girls got to work setting up the bed rolls and a fire, Walker had taken a moment to calm his mind further. He could feel that Fleur was slumbering in the spirit mark but had definitely reacted when he touched the metal tablet earlier. That meant that there was some form of natural energy within it. 

Since they had been in a rush, none of them had taken a hard look at the metal tablet. The shape was flat on the bottom and slowly rounding toward the top. The metal was a copper color that seemed to be glowing. There were small runes carved all over it but they didn\'t seem to be activated in any way. However, Walker could tell that the craftsmanship of these tiny runes was well beyond anything that anyone could create, even the wandering blacksmith.

Since he couldn\'t gather any real information just from holding the metal tablet, Walker tried to push some of his mana in to it. The runes glowed and promptly forced his mana away from it. This was a little bit of a surprise since most objects would accept someones\' mana no matter what. It was just how things would work unless the opposite elemental mana was forced in to something.

"Hmm, natural mana?" The natural mana gathered around Walker and he was able to push some in to it. The runed did not push back this time and instead began to glow stronger. But that was all that happened. There was no reaction and no big reveal. "Now what?" This frustration caused Walker to use his all around appraisal skill to try for more knowledge. 

\'Sealing Arts carving

This has a thousand sealing magic arts sealed within. Many have attempted to learn all the sealing arts within using their magical prowess. None have ever succeeded due to the fact that their minds have been too closed. These arts were created by the god of secrets. The arts hold the ways to hide away anything no matter what it is. By learning every art with the applicable system the user can become the next god of secrets. If the applicable system is not possible then only a single sealing art can be learned if applicable with a system. The most recent sealing art, the flames of silence, were used on a single being unsuccessfully.\'

This information was a lot more than Walker expected. The fact that this was more than just a single sealing magic but a thousand was incredible. Even more, this could cause the right person to become a god. Yet, even the forest elf sealing sage did not have the right system to learn it all. He had unsuccessfully learned a single one and failed to properly seal Greed. It said right in the appraisal that it has been unsuccessful. 

"This is going to be an item that no one will be allowed to touch unless they meet exceptional standards." This statement was enough to get the girl\'s attention. 

"Is it really that amazing?" Since Su didn\'t know anything that Walker did she thought that the tablet was still just some ancient magic trapped within it. 

"It has to be amazing. The sealing sage had it and was learning from it. I would bet that it has a mastery skill hidden within." With Alma\'s enthusiasm, Walker wasn\'t sure if he should tell her the truth or just keep everything a secret. 

After a short moment of thinking, he decided to tell them. The explanation was slow since Walkern explained the details of his appraisal. He also told them that this was not something that should leave their conversations. Even Scylla should not know. It wasn\'t that they did not trust her, it was that she was a general of an army. This was an item that a war could be fought over. Scylla would be bound by honor to tell her king about this which could cause some stress. 

"It could be more than anything anyone could expect. But it is too dangerous. Can we seal this away after we seal Greed? You can use it right?" Both were questions that Walker had already asked himself. He was thinking about them the moment he had stopped explaining things. 

"Walker knows all too well that this is dangerous. He will find a way to hide it away. I also know that he can\'t use it to the fullest capability. There are master sealing skills in there and he is limited to everything but that. I doubt he needs a master skill though, right?" 

Su had guessed right. Walker had already figured out that the sealing arts were all mixed up together and that was what the runes caused to happen. A person would need to unravel these to get the solution and full art. It could take years and was why the sealing sage failed. However, the sealing sage was not Walker. Walker had a system that allowed him to learn just about anything.
