Master Of None

Chapter 2281: 2281. All Wrapped Up...

Walker’s time with the royal dragon did not last very long within the Genesis building. They were all busy, as was he.

Whoever, he was interested to hear that more hatchlings had been advancing faster than before. It wasn’t just the gathered mana being denser or the mana being of a higher purity. It was the knowledge that they were gaining from various sources.

The elders who supported these changes and helped the hatchlings explore the city since those elders could take dragonkin forms were amazed. They witnessed hatchlings with affinities for certain classes that the dragons had never seen.

Whether it was alchemy, forging, or even healing all of those were new to the dragon race. They had relied on strength, leadership, and territory. They rarely had to deal with other classes since they worried about their bodies. The draconic runes were even less researched as well because of that.

Now, Genesi was advancing more than just one race. All knowledge is being traded freely and for all. This allowed the dragonkin and the younger dragons to take chances in their lives. To find ways to walk a path which never would have been walked by them if they remained in their isolated villages without other races to meet with.

Hence why there were now hatchlings taking the lead in that respect. They were young and adaptable. They were able to listen to their dragon history which was being organized properly for the first time in many generations. Learn from it, while also learning about other histories.

That alone gave them the knowledge needed to be able to develop different ways of living in general. Whether it was learning to communicate at a younger age. Whether it was manipulating manas at a younger age. Or taking on a class entirely, which a few had already done.

Their growth would lead to them furthering the mark that the dragons had on history overall. Especially since the history of Genesis as a whole was going to be something more than what many had ever expected. Just looking at things as they were now, well, it was something spectacular.

Regardless, once he had managed to speak with the dragons, Walker was glad to hear about the gale horn ogres. They were a very interesting race which exceeded the ogres known to the world.

The fact that they had significantly high intelligence which allowed them to survive within the wind elemental planes was a key factor of how they would be able to fit in to Genesis overall. Not because they were able to manipulate wind mana, but because they were very different from the ogres of the world.

The current monsters known as ogres were tough to deal with and brutal. They used physical force without magic at all. They also healed fairly quickly and could cause massive damage to a small village or population of other monsters. They also rarely lived together.

The gale horn ogres were smaller and had sacrificed strength to gain intellect and mana control. Wind mana control allowed them to use their natural affinities to fight and survive. Here in Genesis, they would not need to worry about being hunted down to be consumed for the pure wind mana gathering within their horns and their bodies.

That being the case, they also did not need to worry about being able to use their natural skills that came with their high wind affinity. Within the world, they could still gather wind mana and eat wind affinity plants, fruits, and meats. They had everything they needed.

While those speaking with them had shown that the worry that the gale horn ogres would have nothing to do, it came to light that they wished to be able to build their own homes. Something that they had always been wanting to do but could not with the fact that the wind elemental planes shifted and brought monsters which destroyed their homes too often.

That was when they could even take the time to settle within an area for a short time. Not that they expected to have some form of protection to be able to do that. It was already clear that Ventus, Gil, and Zephyr had learned about how the elemental planes functioned better than they had all learned before.

”They learned that the more powerful races within a single elemental plane are responsible for protecting the up and coming races. Specifically, if those up and coming races grew enough, they could serve the other races. Such as the angelic wind angels serving the dragons and the true wind sage. The same with the ancient wind dominator dragons serving the origin beings by maintaining balance just be remaining in a constant place as the wind elemental plane shifted naturally.

All of that was not accessible to small races like the gale horn ogres. They could have been driven to extinction in the time it took for them to get that powerful. A loss for everyone since a race that could bring amazing potential may have been wiped out.

Seeing that they had desires to build a home, that might lead to new forms of building which the dwarves could use too. A way of making better homes that can handle the changing manas of the word.

That was an issue which had been brought up more than once. As manas gathered in density and purity, materials would change. The very same as everything else within the world was changing. Therefore, new forms of stronger building would need to be done. Would need to be researched over time.

When it came to the materials and herbs that Walker brought, the alchemy guild didn’t even go get Remey or stop to notify her. Walker had expected that she would be called right away. Instead, the old master alchemist had called for some of the leading herbalists so that Walker could leave the herbs and crystals with them.

He also called for some of the researcher darves who were focused on discovering new characteristics of metals, materials, and other monster related items used to forge or craft. This brought the alchemy and the crafting guilds together before Remey even got her hands on the materials he had brought.

They all knew that if some of the higher ups like Remey or the dwarven kings saw these things, they would take them and focus on them over many other things. The old master alchemist knew very well that Remey was amazing, but she was a hyper focusing person. He saw it when she was little and focused on being able to get medicine for her siblings. Why would she be different now?

Not wanting to be dragged in to the commotion, Walker left the materials behind and hoped to hear about how they would be used. As he left, he heard about unique wands being made for young mages learning unique forms of light mana. An idea that Walker wanted to help

with.

He controlled himself though. If he got dragged in to all this, he would miss helping the wyverns and the gale horn ogres who were going to be acclimating to Genesis over the course of the next months. A lot of changes would be happening.

There was also the fact that the sky and water wyverns needed to meet the earth wyvern queen. They had come in to quarrels before as Walker and others had learned. So making peace would be an important aspect of getting along in the future. Not just now, but for the

long term.

”Brother.”

”Onyx, you could have waited for me at home. I was heading there now. I even ignored the temptation to stay at the alchemy and crafting guild meeting and learn about some new materials.” Walker’s laughter at that was hiding his temptation to turn around and do so. He knew full well that he could be pulled back there.

”You can’t go back home yet. Brother, we have an issue to handle.” for Onyx to come looking for Walker as soon as he returned meant that this was not something small. It also meant that Onyx wanted to make sure that it was handled properly and was not just here to get Walker, but wanted to help with it as well.

”What’s going on? You are acting a little too serious for this to be something small.” Walker knew that this had to be handled carefully. He trusted Onyx and Onyx trusted him. He had grown up fast and well, so Onyx knew that Walker would match his focused and serious

attitude.

”We found another ruin. It has more eggs from when the ancient angels hid underground. They are different than the race I lead.” This was more than enough to make Walker understand why Onyx needed him right now.
