Master Of None

Chapter 2763: 2763. More To The World

The frustration that Fleur possessed was easily sensed through the bond Walker shared with her. She felt like she had just been beaten in mana by a book without thought. It was insulting!

”Itʼs fine that we didnʼt make a lot of progress just yet. This is an ancient set of books that someone powerful made and used. I would assume it was also tailored to them and not us, so they had an easier time of things.” After some consoling, Fleur gave in, but she turned her head and wandered away.

This didnʼt stress Walker out at all since he knew very well that Fleur probably felt she had to do a few things now that she was properly awake. She was the spirit that stood as the leader of the spirit race even if having a leader did not matter too much. It was a sure thing she would meet with the elemental spirits too, they had been growing in number as the elemental spirit trees, magic tower and small magic towers, along with other aspects changing around Genesis even more.

He did look back at the twin grimoires and felt the pressure on his mind recovering. These two were not necessarily hard to provide mana for, but it felt like he was providing mana for over a hundred mana gems rather than just a simple pair of books.

He also saw the complicated rune formations that appeared while the transfer of mana between them occurred. They formed rings around him as he was the center of the books along with Fleur. Meaning that they would most likely float around him when they were fully sated of balanced natural mana.

Even more so, he could understand the skills that he learned from these twin grimoires. The skill would have been a great gain if he hadnʼt had other skills related to mana sense in the first place. However, the addition had spurred a melding of skill he possessed and led him to the origin mana sense skill.

That sharpened his understanding of mana as a whole leading him to know even more where his flaws were. He could feel that his senses were trying to get him to look everywhere though. He would need to adapt to the more sensitive focus on mana than he had before by enhancing his other senses a bit more. Basically, more physical training.

Not a problem though. Walker could do with that to refine some of the weapon skills he had. It was a good idea regardless of reasoning.

The ingredients to potentially make a skills scroll or book that teaches a skill…. That seems like something nearly impossible. The ingredients she saw were already too rare or even possible to exist in the first place!

How could he manage to succeed in that when people could just spend a lot of time using the same basic magic scroll and hope that they gain the skill by luck? A guaranteed skill being gained would cost such a high amount of gold that it would break an average family. Let alone if it wouldnʼt be considered as priceless and never used for fear of being wasted.

This didnʼt mean that Walkerʼs mind didnʼt drift to the fact that he could learn more from the twin grimoires. He might get some history about how the arch mage ascended and why. He might also learn what it means to be an ancient mage and pass on knowledge that teaches the people much more than what they had to learn now.

There was knowledge here and he could work to improve upon it. He had already taken the first steps and would have a team working on similar books to find the ruins of the destroyed magic towers. They might be important aspects of history lost in war. Places where there was not a singular race, but maybe a gathering of those with potent magic skills instead. It was plausible since in ancient times only those with a lot of strength or magic power could survive the dangers of day to day life.

The vampires, angels, and immortal chasing races never mentioned that there were magic towers or any other races that used such things. This meant that it might not be from this continent or the Sigil continent where they fought their wards. Instead, there might be another continent off further away where their towers existed. Along with ancient monsters capable of destroying such magic towers and entire civilizations to the point that no one saw them after the changes in the world due to it being cut off from the elemental planes in ancient times.

It was a great deal to consider especially when his mind was already stressed due to the experience of opening the twin grimoires. He could easily recover from this. He had been stressing himself mentally while understanding the manas he used along with comprehending various skills. If anyone had the best metal recovery ability, it would be Walker.

As much as he wanted to spend hours and days pushing himself to make these twin grimoires tell him every secret they had, he looked at the other books already being copied or analyzed by the archivists around him. Walker had taken a few moments deep in thought while the little princess had returned her focus to the books she found she was interested in.

He glanced at the growing stack that she had brought over and wondered if she had more than one goal now. But he didnʼt want to pry since he had told her she was able to learn and read what he wished to. It was just a wonder if she would allow the king to even take her back home after this.

”What have you found from these good quality books?” Walker didnʼt ask because he was lacking in patience. He asked because the good quality books that seemed related to the towers and twin grimoires were already halfway read through and even being copied by a team of five archivists. Their speed was exceptional, proving that they were more than excelling at the positions they held here within the grand archive and library of Genesis.

”There are records of the mage union. A group of mages led by powerful high mages who wished to become the grand mage. They also have records of magic towers focused on singular manas destroyed in war. They are very different from the ancient tower moved here by yourself hero.”

”Right here, this section reads… Blessed by the way of water, the magic tower of water sits at the side of a rapid river. The flow always bringing natural water mana to the tower and causing a mist to gather around it at all times…. This must be how the magic towers of ancient times tried to relate themselves to elemental manas. They were in various locations. But they canʼt have been on this continent.”

”So that is already confirmed from what you have read?” Walker felt it was too quick that this was a confirmed fact.

Yet, another of the archivists spoke up, ”Here it tells of a continent with several treacherous areas ruled by ancient monsters. They were the lords of territories and the mage towers just fed off the mana at the edges to help the mages advance and fight the offspring of those lord monsters.”

If that was how this different continent worked, it would make sense why there was no defined race or why those living there may be unable to leave there freely or easily at all. It would be even more interesting to understand how a society could grow surrounded by monsters capable of crushing everything easily. If there was a war or even if there was anything similar. Yes, he had read in the appraisals about war, but to them war might have been battling against the monsters that were born of the ancient lords as they called them.

More so, it would be interesting to consider that during that era, the people united regardless of race because that was the only way to survive. A terrifying battle for survival was daily life just as the other continents however, they had to rely on magic and hiding to survive rather than avoiding powerful races and just some powerful ancient monsters.

”Here it mentions that the towers had vaults made by a unique group of protective earth mages. We may be able to find locked away knowledge and evidence of their presence if we can find where they originated from.” Walker smiled. He wasnʼt worried about this, he was excited.

This was an entire place to be explored. It would curb those who might be too full of energy. It would give many new goals to achieve. And even more, it would allow for new homes and resources to be discovered for the growing people of the Genesis Alliance.
