Master Of None

Chapter 2571: 2571. Turning Wind

It was an odd feeling having quests given by Walker. Many of the representatives were looking back internally to what they had met the party or had taken over the role of representative. When it came to the merfolk, the man who had been placed in charge was the first to respond with proof that Walkerʼs quotes to him had been making others gain quotes.

Since it was literally just a few minutes later, Walker was surprised but for the merfolk, he had asked for them to review the water systems that they had explored and bring their underwater mages to check the mana density levels. It was quick but efficient. This has been leaving a reward for Walker to need to assist the merfolk in their newest project.

They had been trying to establish a few beach villages so that there would be anchor points for the ships when they might sail in to the seas again. Therefore, the reward was to assist in those later once they were prepared for people to move to them officially. The merfolk were expanding and that was a good thing since they had only had one city.

The smaller quests that appeared were related to following the quotes that Walker had given their current representative. While it was not their overall leader, they knew very well that both their king and their true representative were handling matters to do with their entire race within their kingdom. They would not worry that they were missing someone when they knew that it was for the best of their people for there to be a major meeting of every higher figure in their kingdom.

On the demi-human side of things, Walker saw several of the demi-human warriors arriving outside the Genesis building and forming in to a squad. These were warriors who had recently returned and would have been on a week of rest.

Naturally, they had begun to help here and there with small damages, but Scylla had been given a quest from Walker to ensure that the farm fields were guarded and were not having any adverse effects related to mana density. They had all received quotes to escort sensory mages so that this could be checked on.

Of course they accepted since they could see that the quest was related to the safety of Genesis and also that they would be receiving their assignments directly from General Scylla, someone they greatly respected.

So far just witnessing these events had been a major proof that this quest granter skill was amazing.

”Walker, I will see you when it is time for you to train with me in the arena.” Scylla grinned, a little too many teeth showing in her excitement. That was her quest reward, a full twenty four hours training with Walker to see where her limits were. While it was an advantage for her since she would finally have someone she could compete with in power, it was more suited to her personal benefit.

Then again, if Scylla were to find a place where she was weaker in, she would be able to repair that and begin to gain even more strength. In turn that would prepare her to be able to travel in to the elemental planes. Something that she had made clear she wished to do when it was possible.

There were others who desired this since they wanted to explore, but in terms of representatives, there were fewer since they believed that the opportunity should go to the best of the best of their race and not them as just representatives. However, this was different for some since they knew that they might be able to discover different kinds of their own race within the elemental planes.

Specifically for the dragons who wished to learn more about those who had been within the elemental planes and not within the world to develop this entire time.

Ventus had traveled to the elemental planes but her access had been very restricted. Until there was more trust and evidence that those of the world could keep the balance and not cause damage to the elemental planes, then this was how things would have to be.

All this could still wait though, Walker had an area he personally had to check out. He knew that the rest of the party was focused on their tasks. Gil was preparing some of the elven mages to leave for the Sigil continent with Su so that they could begin checking some unexplored areas for stagnant mana.

This was also going to help the mapping process within the Sigil continent. Some of the older ruins where the floating cities had fallen were places that had been avoided out of respect for generations. Now that the floating cities could be revitalized, returning to them to bring them back to glory was a major focus.

Onyx had already left with the vampires to work together on the light and dark dense areas to see if anything was unnatural.

Midnight was the outlier here. She had been tasked by Walker to ensure that healers of all mana affinities would be ready to travel. This was so that she could partner with Alice who had been extremely busy organizing and setting up new methods of education for healers.

Since so many new healers had come out of the alliance with different affinities, the established format of education had to be altered. The pilgrimage to help others was also something being edited since other raceʼs warriors were willing to go out in to the world with them to learn and experience the world as well. A lot of partnerships were possible.

”The fields right before the farmlands of the Demi-human territories.” Mumbling a little to himself, Walker stepped in to the air where the harpy queen had been waiting with several harpies who often took the route through this more dangerous area.

The wind mana becoming denser there, by their evaluation, had caused the wind currents to become almost circling and destructive. Meaning that they had trouble delivering mail to who they were tasked to. They had to take longer routes and that was overall bad for communication since switching entirely to communication crystals was just not affordable for the average person and the materials were not that readily available to even make enough of them.

Walker had to stick with their pace, but this gave him the chance to see what the harpies did on a daily basis. Their travel routes for flying with mail was made for efficiency and safety. They could make sure that entire proposals or packets of information made it where it needed in a fair amount of time.

While they were based in Genesis, it was a fact that they had some bases in almost every kingdom now. They were quickly built so that they could bring contracts for certain guilds efficiently. It was also exceptionally reliable, especially since most harpies had skills that allowed them to escape predators while flying. Now that they had become a recognized race, they were even more intelligent in their flight abilities.

Just following them, Walker could tell how their feathers noticed the slightest changes in wind so they could adjust. While they had light and frail looking bodies, they could carry a surprising amount of satchels on them. The larger items needed to travel would be sent with the floating ships in production but harpies would still escort and protect it.

”Here it starts to become bad.” The harpy queen had stayed with them the whole way. Clearly she was worried about her harpies who had been struggling. She had shown reports of three harpies injured due to the tougher wind currents.

Some places had naturally tough wind currents but an open field should not have wind currents that clashed in a way that someone would be hurt.

Yet, Walker could sense it. He felt that the wind man was denser. He could sense that the wind was clashing instead of flowing. There was also significantly less earth mana than he would expect for an area that was entirely fields before it became farmland later.

Before he could open his mouth to say anything he felt a massive gust of wind which made him and the harpies all lower their altitude. ”That might be what has been causing your issues. I will need to go a little deeper but I believe this is a place where the wind mana is stagnating. The air currents keep Turing back in themselves since there might not be enough earth mana to balance it naturally.”

This could be exactly what they thought. A few more earth mages around this area could solve the issue but he wanted to feel it through and through. That way he could work to solve the issue permanently or at least write a guide to fix it if it ever occurred again.
