Master Of None

Chapter 2388: 2388. Heading Back

”Two days ahead of schedule and we have the entire floating ship full!” Walker shouted out the announcement and a cheer came from everyone who had been helping store the materials found.

When it came to everything, Many more materials for forging and building had been found than anything else. Some rare stones aligned with many ores that were higher quality than what was normally found had been obtained.

When it came to the herbs, there were kinds that had not been seen before mixed in to the kinds that were clearly larger or more developed than what they would normally grow to in the wilderness. This wasn’t all because of the manas though. The entire land had been improved because of the world’s expansion.

This was proof that the farms that grew all the food for Genesis would also be showing these results as time went on. The nutrients in the soil were perfect for them to be able to grow more food. The more food that everyone had, the less worries about the growing population. This also meant that some of the rarer ancient foods and herbs could be grown in focus rather than the bulk produce needed for feeding everyone in general.

Walker had sat down and talked for a while after they had taken a break with this announcement. He and Su had wondered if there would be more to worry about because of all this. But Walker had realized that even though the changes in the world would keep them busy, that it was a good thing for food production which always came up on the topics to discuss at meetings.

Walker and Su had mentioned the new foods from the various seeds that had been found. Especially the ones from the ancient ruins which were still viable because of how they were stored and also because of how resistant some of them were to the passage of time. Seeds were always that way though, they were made to wait for the right chance to grow. That was just nature.

Some seeds had also been from the vampires who had managed to retrieve a lot from their ruined home. The final castle and village that they had left in ruins after their race had been isolated for so long.

One fruit was just like an apple, it was called the blood drop fruit. A fruit that apparently had gone extinct because the vampires had been stopped from producing it when they were isolated and made in to slaves by one of their leaders, it had seemed completely lost.

The blood drop fruit was just like an apple, but the insides were nearly liquid and vampires could eat them without having to worry about any negative consequences. That was because it was very similar to blood. It also held denser manas which nourished their bodies allowing them to hold themselves in a better form at most times.

While many people had worried about the vampires as a race, the founding of more food was great for them. But it also showed that the new seeds being studied had more hope in them.

This made the general public happier and more enticed to learn new things. They could become more knowledgeable about the world as a while while making sure that they were growing too. Put in the fact that they were able to find new paths to change class by researching and growing food that was desperately needed, well, it was great for morale.

”So we can just enjoy the progress for a little bit of time.” Su grinned a little since she knew that Walker had said everything for the fact that he wanted to ensure they both didn’t worry about it at all.

”Looks like we are off.” Walker watched as the mana moved and the floating ship began to rise against it was slower this time. The mana cost was more for the weight added.

Some of the monster’s materials had been taken from golems. This made sure that whether they liked it or not, they were heavy.

Some were ideal since they were mostly made out of ores. That would go a very long way to help Genesis. However, the stones that they were made of were also valuable.

These stones had formed as the golem formed. Meaning that they were able to allow Alma to flow through them at a better rate than any other stones. Furthermore, if they had become certain kinds of granite rock, then they could be used for making amazing rune formation bases that could be used for a very long time.

That alone convinced Walker that all this added weight was worth the extra mana. That and there were enough mages and spirit race members to ensure that the mana was gathered and replenished.

Since this was the case, he didn’t worry too much. But since the movements of the floating ship were much slower, he began to worry. He especially since the working staff was running around much more now. They had the same worries.

As the mana flowed, Walked saw that the stress on the main rune formations had been passed to smaller formations previously not activated. This changed the amount of mana used and also added to the overall mana being used.

Feeling this, Walker could see how the spirit race were working to direct it. The stress on their bodies and their control was massive. The waiting spirit race members had already joined to help proving that the mages were needed next as well. There would be a lot of work to come.

The first three hours he did not relax and observed. Su sat with him realizing that he had stopped speaking because of his mana senses and more care in using them.

She had also noticed more though. The mana cost in the full storage areas had not been properly accounted for. Mostly because a full storage was not expected. Those in charge had done the math for partial storage of materials and ores. Not completely full with some added weight for what people also carried in them since the storage was full.

With how strong her senses were, Su heard every word. It made it clear to her it was time to get up and help. Where she lacked the mana control that Walker had, she could move parts and hold areas. She could also use her strength of mind to boost others’ mentalities.

”Walker.”

”I know, you can do what you need. I am starting to help too. I’ll bring mana in and release the stress from the pressured manipulating spirit race members. They need help if we are going to bring speed up and also manage the materials in the same quality we harvested them in.”

It was easy to guess that if the stress became too much, the only option would be to remove the storage runes used to protect the harvested resources from the processes happening right now. The safety of everyone here and the floating ship was more important.

As long as it did not collapse to the ground, then it could be improved. It could easily be improved later to the point that the issues happening now would never be an issue again. Especially with how quickly people were advancing their classes and knowledge in general.

Su was off to help and Walker stood up. The mages holding themselves back to maintain their mana for later also stood. While they were not directly commanded by Walker, they understood that if he moved they should also move.

They respected him and knew that if Walker was helping it was extremely important. Even if they slowly added their mana to make their strength last longer, it was enough. A thousand drops in a bucket could fill it after all.

When Walker made it to the main core of all the formations, the mana gems, and the control center of the floating ship, the staff stopped. They gave him nods since they knew he didn’t need any more information. Just his presence was a surety to them.

His hand softly touched the main mana gem predicted just for this floating ship. He felt everything with much more clarity. He could also see the errors in mana rune formations where too much mana rested at one time. It wasn’t an issue for how it was made. This was an issue of the lack of overall knowledge in making the ship period.

It would be improved over time.

He focused on these stressed areas perfectly. He felt his mana being absorbed too but he didn’t mind. The mages had all backed him up and provided their mana which mixed with the mana gem and was guided by Walker. The immediate sense of smoothness that all the spirit races and mages felt was a true example of the strength Walker had due to all his growth and learning.
