Master Of None

Chapter 2570: 2570. Handing Out Quests

It took a shorter explanation than what Walker had expected to get every single representative up to date on what he had done. The fact that the bridges to the elemental planes were not reinforced and entirely permanent without the risk of chaotic mana flowing through them was something they all seemed to like more than anything.

Then the damage from the manas shifting but the benefits of the manas condensing and purifying seemed to be a fair trade. The damages that they had received reports of were all minimal and just caused by the manas shifting while people were in the middle of something. It was also not known that all the manas would shake and shiver as there was a change to the last bridge to the elemental planes.

The representatives were more surprised than anything to be hearing that Walker would be handing out quests to them and to many others. The goal he reported to them to inspire more quests to naturally appear from the will of the world and will of existence was something they had not expected.

While most people within this room had seen the system messages about the will of the world or the will of existence, they didn’t understand if that was something that they would have any say in. It was a very large and overarching fact that they did not have the strength to manipulate all manas or influence the entire world in the same ways that Walker could.

What they all lingered on though, was that there was a chance manas could stagnate.

Everyone had accepted the risk of chaotic manas existing and causing issues. It was something that the elemental planes had to deal with and now the world. It was an issue constantly for all things that could be, so it was just part of the nature of all things they had been isolated from when the world was not properly in flow.

The manas they knew though? That was new and unusual. Knowing that some races could not handle too much of one mana condensed in an area, like the angels, was common now. But expecting that there would be issues for nature itself if manas became too dense in in area struck them as worrying.

”Are you saying that we might have places that become like the elemental planes if we aren’t careful?” Scylla knew the elemental planes were dangerous because of their dense and more manas which some people couldn’t resist without intense training. To her, this meant that some lands might become impossible to travel in due to the manas sitting there.

”That’s a possibility. The manas of the world are still flowing properly. But because of the connection to the elemental planes manas could become unbalanced if it’s allowed to. Manas do mix, but they don’t always like to. The world mixes them through nature, we might just need to check in on some of the places already dense in certain manas.”

”I would say that these places will be going herbs, monsters, and plenty of other things specific to one mana. All we would need to do is have those with the proper nature related mana manipulation skills continue on the flow of manas in the area. The world is meant to be the core balance of all elemental planes. I believe that now very much so with how mana sate traded equally through each bridge.”

For a moment they could understand the dangers. With even more mana at a higher purity some monsters might grow a little rampant. Some might become stronger while others might not be able to conform to the higher purity and density manas. Meaning berserk monsters or generally more aggressive monsters.

”The elemental planes are expanding. We were already warned that they would be gaining some small elemental planes which would push more mana in to the world. We need to be prepared for that and this is going to be the way it happens.”

This was a lot of extra stress for each of the representatives. It seemed as if there was a new worry every single day. While the exploration of the world was proceeding well so far, the dungeons being found and the ruins were two places that still left a lot of uncertainty. Now there might be places unexplored with unknown dangers with stagnant mana needing to be moved for the balance of the world and the elemental planes connected to it.

”We can begin handling the dark mana of the serpents can work with the light mana.” Hearing this from the vampires was not at all a surprise. Several of the vampire mages focused on dark mana manipulation had regained a large portion of their strength. As such they had been leading education in dark mana manipulation, many had started to change their negative perspectives of dark mana.

”We will handle stagnant light mana. We have the healers ready to travel as well. Light healers need to be in places with dense light mana to meditate and understand more.” with Onyx immediately promising this, the two began a side

”There’s a lot more wind in the fields between here and the Demi-human farmlands. We might need to start there it’s hard to fly for some of us.” This raised some eyebrows. No one expected the harpy queen to speak out already knowing of a place that might be an issue.

”We can send a few mages out to check things there. If it’s because of too much wind mana we can have some mages try to speed up the wind currents for a short while. That should balance everything a little better. Maybe with an earth mage or two we can balance it faster too.”

The table had a few nods and words of agreement. Being able to have information about what areas of stagnating mana might look like would be ideal. This way they could pass the information to their subordinates or to their leaders.

”What would giving us quests entitle? It cannot be simply just giving us quests.” This time it was Clara speaking out. As the adventurers guild representative she knew very well that there was a long list of rules that came with the quests out through the guild. Especially requirements of rewards and accurate information.

Many people had been fined or even gone through trials because of giving false information for a quest. It could lead to the death or serious injury to adventurers depending on the information’s falsehood.

”I have a skill that does it. I must put forth proper rewards and I must act in the best interest of the world and elemental planes. If I wish to be able to hand quests out to those of the elemental planes I must successfully complete quests given here in the world to help balance the world. If I abuse it I could lose this entirely. If I don’t have proper rewards I would suffer the consequences.”

”Walker has already given us quests. The rewards are materials for making new armor or shields and time training with him to enhance my resistances. The reward she can give might be teaching based or they could be gathered materials which he always have a large amount of. For some of you, I could see the reward being assistance handling issues for your people.”

Since Su spoke up sharing this, every representative appeared to be in deeper thought. They could massively benefit from this since Walker had a very larger amount of skills. ”So you can not give experience, which means you will need to rely on the natural order of things for some quests. That’s why you want to see if you can spur more to appear naturally.” The comment came from Mordant who had appeared to represent the dragons.

As far as he could see, Walker was more like a spark starting a fire. He could and would do his best to give a start to everything. If he failed then he would not be assisting the flow of the world as it should be. If he succeeded, opportunity would become even greater throughout the world and not just in Genesis.

”I will give as many higher ranking members of the council and leaders quests to direct others to work on this and other tasks related to keeping the world’s balance. I will have appropriate rewards. I will also go on to deep meditation soon, I’m not sure how long.” Walker had answered the majority of questions. Now it was time to follow through.

While many understood the overall picture Walker was working on, others felt that they were in too deep. That they would need to find different paths for their people to develop or else they would be left behind. It was a struggle for progress, and progress was hard to grasp.
