Master Of None

Chapter 2329: 2329. Feeding Clouds

”I’m here, but why did you call me out of my alchemy lab? These are just greenhouses for food, not even for...” Remey trailed off while she looked at the dense white cloud floating a foot off the ground within the greenhouse. She had no idea why this was here or what was going on.

”Good! Walker just helped the mages condense this cloud and we are working on how we could possibly provide fertilizer and other important nutrients to it. The clouds in nature would be filled with dust, ash, and whatever else is carried by the winds.” The energy that Scylla had threw Remey off.

Normally, Scylla was energetic in a way. She would be more focused on a brutal energy though.. Focused on battle and the ways she could fight or watch fights. That was just the essence that came with being a general who fought her way up from the bottom with the guidance of a king who focused on physical strength over all else in their kingdom.

Right now though, Scylla was genuinely interested in what was happening. As Walker had begun to use the water and wind magic to create a cloud, Scylla had seen the mages begin to learn more about the manas they had affinities with. Even learning a new magical skill to create a denser cloud cover. One even gained the magic spell to create a completely white fog within a large area around them.

This enlightenment had been because these mages had a lower understandings of wind and water elemental mana than what Walker did. Therefore, when they felt the ways that he used the water and wind elemental manas together, even the singular wind and singular water mages learned something.

This was also the ways that some of the more experienced and wiser mages taught. Although, it was not the best way. They couldn’t easily just show off spells and use their understanding to teach. They had to focus on their own growth or had their own tasks.

This meant that these experiences were far and in between without the right time and luck for a younger mage or a less in tough with mana mage. Meaning again, that Walker had just made these mages grow by a very large leap.

And in Scylla’s eyes, this became another way to train the mages that she would not have much insight on training because she was also more focused on using her instinctual mana based skill or physical combat. Even the leviathans that lived as part of her were not able to utilize magic in a way that mages did, for them, it was part of her and instinctual.

This meant that Scylla could bait some of the more powerful mages focused on studies or vying for the magic tower to come teach the mages who worked with her forces. Expanding the soldiers that she led so that the groups she created would be even more powerful. While her mind was focused on this, Remey was getting the information from Walker. ”So if I make a potion that will be easily dissolved in the air, it could feed the entire crop growing on clouds?” Remey’s questions was more for herself since she wasn’t sure she was actually following something that came out so odd. Who planted food on clouds?

”Exactly. You told me that you and a few of the alchemists had made fog in a bottle along with a healing potion that could be dissolved in to a mist to help heal people with breathing problems. So, why not use the same idea here?”

The principles were not the same but Remey knew that Walker had remembered that information and used it properly. He was making a lot of sense since it would be a good challenge for her to create a potion for farming that replicated something for healing or even for poisoning an entire area to debuff large numbers of monsters.

”I can do it, but the materials will have to be everything you want to see in it. I would say bring that volcanic ash from the volcano you just handled.” Besides poison, the ash coming from a volcano could be very beneficial. When not condensed in large amounts the ash held unique nutrients that could greatly help an area grow. It was all about balance. And since that was a common form of nutrients that could be swept up by the winds, this was a good option.

”A potion would be better too since you would be able to let it out constantly or at certain intervals. Then you won’t need multiple mages to gather ingredients and make a big show taking longer in each greenhouse more often.” The benefits that Remey saw of a potion were simple but could affect the time taken by the ones caring for this place.

”I have some materials. I thought grabbing a few things like materials might be useful.” Walker began to pull multiple herbs, volcanic ashes, and other random stones to be burned or ground out of his high spatial storage. He was always collecting things and making sure to share them when they were needed.

”Then just watch.” Remey began to light flames in her hands while using all the materials Walker had pulled out of nowhere. She was at a level where all she needed were her highly controlled alchemy flames. She didn’t even need her partner or Ignus to help her with something like this.

Every single person wished they could get to a level of understanding where they didn’t need to even blink to work on something new or something others found incredible. For Remey, making a potion like this was just about thinking a little and then using her mana to make it. Even Scylla came out from her own planning and watched her work. It was stunning to watch a potion get made in a wreath of flames barely even held in Remey’s hands. This was alchemy without the usage of a cauldron and purely out of the spectacular fire control that came with Remey’s knowledge.

’Cloud dust potion

This potion is made from various materials related to natural dusts and minerals carried by the wind. The volcanic ash and desert sands will act as a base for food for cloud farms. Due to ths addition of ground and dried herbs, this potion is able to bond without the use of water at all and only requires the use of weak wind and water mana manipulation to spread.

Using alchemy flames to purify the toxic aspects of...’

Walker didn’t need to read anything else as he took the ball of dust and used a little wind mana to cause it to spread evenly through the greenhouse. The clouds they had made which were being held in place by the wind and water runes soon became a dull gray color. Influenced by the potion.

The mages watched and felt how Walker evenly used the wind mana to spread the potion out. Calling this dust a potion was hard until they felt that he was also using water mana to wet the dust and cause it to mix evenly with the already existing cloud. He was using both manas at the same time with a balance to finish the potion.

”Looks good, you know, you could have called some of the young alchemists and challenged them. Then they could have been the ones to start off a whole new alchemy project focusing on this kind of partial potion.” This was more Remey joking about since she was happy to be out of the alchemy lab and working on the same potions over and over. But she also knew that some groups of younger alchemists would jump at this.

She stopped talking when she sensed the natural mana leave from Walker and mixed with the cloud. She didn’t realize that the small seeds had already been let to rest in the clouds. Floating perfectly hidden within the cloud while not sinking or floating anywhere.

Small white sprouts began to grow and the clouds began to look even more fluffy than before. The mages, rune carvers, and mostly Scylla were just stunned by what they were seeing. Now they would need to find cloud farmers who would specialize in growing things like this. Something that no one really understood or expected to find right away. However, it was another avenue of unexpected growth within Genesis.

”And now the cloud fairies will have some food prepared for when they get here in a few weeks with Ventus.” Before Walker had even finished, Scylla had grabbed his arm. ”Now you can help me collect some mages to learn from you. They can be mixed with the squads I am making.” she wasn’t letting Walker get away and wander in to another random event just yet.
