The entire space in front of them around the icicle falls was covered in small deep streams that branched from the large pool of ice and water at the base of the falls. There were also plenty of tufts of blue grass that pushed through the patches of snow that perfectly layered the area. It was not an ideal camping spot but a beautiful sight to see and would be held in the groups' memory for years to come.

"Who needs materials and herbs when we can see things like this. Every day I am reminded of what a good choice becoming an adventurer was.

" Su was the most touched by the view in front of her. She had originally wanted items and money to heal her mother. But with that goal more than met, she found that she was living a life she had never imagined and when moments like this occurred she was stunned.

"I don't mean to ruin the mood. It is beautiful, but beauty can hide danger. Other than the blue koi I will fish for there could be other monsters in the deep streams around. Just be careful and don't go off alone.

" Walker was sure that the blue koi could not be the only monsters around. It would be too simple if there were no predators to hunt them in such a large space of watery streams to hide in.

"Midnight and I are gathering blue grass. Everyone else can do whatever.

" Remey and Midnight had barely held themselves back before they rushed off. Walker felt that his words had been lost to the wind.

"You two can go and test your fishing rods. Su and I will walk around and see what is what here.

" Gil shooed Walker and the wandering blacksmith off toward the large pool near the falls so that Walker could begin to try and catch himself some blue koi. He wasn't sure if Gil just wanted him to get the koi for the materials he would sue for water elemental arrows or because he was trying to be nice.

It did put Walker at ease knowing that there were people taking the danger seriously and checking the area for anything that could cause them trouble.

"I think we can use some of the jerky for bait. I could use some of the leftover roasted meats we have but I would prefer to keep that for when we eat later.

"

This seemed to be fine by the wandering blacksmith since he was not one to go and fish at all. Let alone have any skills related to fishing at all. It would come down to Walker to really figure out what the koi liked and how to actually kook them. There was the added bonus that with a second person around Walker would have help pulling what he caught on to the shore.

When the pair reached the edge of the pool it was hard to see the water since it was mostly ice on top. But because of the falls, there was a slight bit of ripples that allowed sight through the water. It was crystal clear and free of any sediment or plant growth that made vision hard. It was exceptionally deep and there was no way to see past the darkness to the bottom.

There were also slight differences in the coloration of the darkness that Walker could see. The blue hue of the ice caused it to be harder to see,

"They are the koi!

" Walker caught a glimpse of one as it chased another and turned enough to see the white belly.

With this sighting, the excitement reached its maximum and the two hurried to prepare the iron fishing rods. Walker knew that the wandering blacksmiths' was better but he had the feeling that using the one he had made would bring him more luck. After they made sure that the rods were properly prepared, Walker hooked a small square of beef jerky to the tip of the hook.

"I've never cast this kind of fishing pole so step back. I don't want to catch you.

" Walker gave his warning and the wandering blacksmith stepped back a fair distance. It didn't seem to matter though because as soon as Walker lifted the pole with the dangling hook it attached to his clothing and became stuck.

The ensuing situation was a mix of trying to become unhooked and avoiding becoming tangled in the braided line which seemed to pull out more and more as the two struggled. The second attempt was slightly better but went way too far and landed on a large piece of ice. After reeling it in and pulling the chunk of ice with the hook Walker finally managed to cast the line in to the water.

The attempts had been difficult but it had finally worked and the small plunk sound was enough to bring relaxation to the pair who stood there in silence.

"I guess...we wait now.

" Walker had not expected that they would get a fish immediately. But for some reason, he found himself anxious while he waited.

'The skill cast has been taken from the fly fishing system. The user had learned the basic skill cast has been automatically learned through users' actions.

Cast- 1 mana cost

Requires a fishing rod. The user is able to cast the line of a fishing pole with minimal danger to those around them. The odds of landing the hook where desired are significantly higher the more the user trains this skill.'

The skill was enough to make Walker happy since he would have less chance to get hooked or to hook a friend. There was also the fact that the skill would get better the more he practiced with it. If he followed some fishermen he might find that he could relax and fish peacefully if he ever had more free time. But that was for another day, now, he needed to focus on whatever was trying to nibble the jerky on the hook.
