Master Of None

Chapter 2740: 2740. Solutions And Connected Dots

The remains of the storage room proved to be nothing entertaining. Instead of anything fossilized or properly preserved, it was broken glass, more of the fungus, and even more of what had once been monsters scavenging here. It was clear that the monsters had come looking for food or smelling the rotten bodies and looked to take them too. Yet, they had only found a place to die and nourish the fungus growing.

However, after finding the origin of the fungus, it was a monster easily dealt with. Many people would still have identified it as a normal fungus without an appraisal like Walker’s, then again, it was basically that minus the fact that it actively caused spores to cover the air and poison others to death so it could keep growing.

It was amazing though, the area being cleared and purified through multiple skills and plenty of light mana left it surprisingly clean. Out of the ruins thus far, they had not found something so well preserved. It made it clear that they had managed to find a place better protected even before it had fallen.

The knowledge that the ancient angels used tubes with rune formations on them to teach was stunning the researchers escorted here once Walker had managed to contact a scout passing by looking to register the mapping orb information properly.

Two researchers were already taking the rune coded tubes and rolling them in ink. After they had done so, they rolled them across larger pieces of parchment to see the shapes and flow of the runes carved on to the tubes. It was a miraculous way to easily share basic rune formations or just the basic forms of runes used by the ancient angels.

The ancient angels had failed in some ways and the realization when a few of the angel rune formation researchers heard Walker’s theories and appraisals showed a clear broken heart. The information about how spectacular their race had been in some ways but failed in others was hard to accept.

Yet, the researchers quickly overcame those feelings. The negative emotions they possessed did a lot to show them that today’s age was filled with opportunity. Not just to rewrite the failures, but to improve on the successes as well. That was why they were here. Not just to raise the cities that had once floated as their united angel race, but also to find ways to utilize everything in new ways and forms.

”Here! This one is the one!” The shouting and the clamour of several researchers caused Walker to come and look at the complicated rune formations on the parchment. It also came to the copper rune rod in the researcher’s hand.

”This pattern here is a gravity rune. It uses runes made for metal, earth, and even what I believe is a space rune piece to make the gravity reverse from other earth. It’s just like the magnetic metals we have found and how some affinities for lightning can be used with them. I know a mage that could help with that.”

The rambling kept going until he started to point out to the group the matching rune formations on the copper rune rod and the symbols just copied from the coded rune tube. ”This means this rod could influence the rune formations that had to do with the entire island floating. It means that if we copy this and remove the extra layers we can find a way to replicate it. Not in just a day, maybe in the next few hours.”

That was stunning. No, it was impossible to what Walker and everyone else had imagined. Before he could speak again, several angels were rushing the researcher out of the ruins realizing that he had some ideas that needed to be tested. It wasn’t just the fact that this researcher had connected the dots to a puzzle that had been all mixed up. It was the fact that he could see the connections where others with different experiences could not.

They weren’t rushing him to a simple tent to research more, he had just become one of the foremost presences within the the researchers here and maybe even in Genesis who could begin improving and shining light on how the floating islands were built. It meant a lot of improvement faster than what Walker expected, increasing new smaller floating islands and even improving the flying ships for the next generation to travel further. Maybe even begin properly mapping islands across the oceans.

”I think I should head out and start to work on the dark dome side of the project. I might even start to work on making things to help making all elemental domes of focused mana.” Walker spoke quietly to Alice, Su, and Midnight.

While he knew that there were still monsters to clean up here, they had helped a great deal and also understood that he had to achieve what he had come here for. If the two projects would be combined, he couldn’t just help with one aspect. He had to ensure he was taking everything he had to offer and giving it fully. Only then could he uphold his determination and word when he had agreed to assist.

”You can do that here too?” Alice had long stopped her songs since she knew very well that other areas would need her to purify them within these ruins. So, she was trying to gather her mana back to her faster for that time later.

”There should be a small herbal garden being made in the nearest village. I believe it is a testing ground for some of the herbs extinct near the forest elf territories. They will grow them here and bring them over when it is time, but they are using it as a place to test some more unique ideas for propagating certain smaller herbs used in medicines.”

He didn’t want to leave Alice and knew that Su was going to stay with her to help clear the monsters. Both of their teams were working well here. Especially the elite guards who had joined with the healers who had begun to also use purifying skills. Their teamwork was actually proving to be a valuable experience for them since they were not just whaling those injured. They were ensuring safety for those who would come well after them.

”I will come too!” Midnight knew that if she left Walker to run off he would end up somewhere else doing who knew what. Especially since he was about to use a lot of magic. However, she also had another thought in mind. ”I am going to learn more magic too!”

She had seen the ways that Walker used magic, she had trained her own dragon magics to be able to combat her body and her battle prowess in different manners. Her dragon breaths alone were of multiple elemental manas and she could even mix them to a degree. Yet, she did not have the ability to do what Walker did and what even Su started to grasp.

Other dragons could make a territory around themselves. A domain of their mana and the elemental manas they used which would enhance their strength and also allow for them to damage opponents with their mana without needing to directly attack them. While her fame body skill or even the shadow wrapping might have effects that rocked on contact, Midnight wanted to see what Walker did differently than others.

If she could see what he did without having him hold her hand and show her every single detail, she could make her own form of the dragon domain skills she saw. If she did that, then she would be able to fight against Walker much better. Even if she knew he would always win their sparring matches, she wasn’t going to just leave him to get immensely more powerful than her. That wasn’t anything she wanted.

She was going to make sure Walker had to keep working for his strength. She was a dragon after all. Why would she roll over on her back?

”That’s fine then. Watch me try and make a dome of protective and nourishing mana to help the herbs. Maybe you can learn to do it too and make Remey drop her jaw on the floor.” He knew that if Midnight actually managed this then Remey would be asking her for a lot of help. Plenty of herbs needed specialized transport from mages and rune formations nowadays to maintain their quality. If Midnight could make a temporary space protecting them like the idea of the dark dome project, well, it made sense she would be invaluable.

”I will catch up with both of you later. We have to leave and return to Genesis to meet the leaders as they come.” Walker couldn’t forget that many kings and queens would soon arrive to see their people and meet with all representatives of the Genesis Alliance. It was a big deal.
