Master Of None

Chapter 2776: 2776. A Little Help Guiding

”Midnight?” A curious voice came from Su while she was sitting on a bench taking a break. She had been working in the cathedral then made her way back to the coliseum to help train others. ”What are you wandering around here for? Werenʼt you busy training and helping escort that new general?”

She had seen Midnight somewhat befriending the new Genesis from the demi-human kingdom. It was good since Walker had somewhat had a rougher meeting with the woman, but Midnight was always eager to meet someone new. Then again, Midnight might have also dragged the general and her guards elsewhere to eat different foods or even train with her for a bit too long. It all depended on what midnight had thought at the time.

”Recruiting!” The happy response that came from Midnight should have been what Su expected. Since Walker was looking to recruit people to go to an undiscovered land, why wouldnʼt Midnight have jumped in to help right away?

”If you are going to ask me to try to convince more of the guards or soldiers I have been sparring with, I canʼt say it will work. There are a lot of them who wish to follow one of the rulers who are here right now.” Su knew that this was not what Midnight might want to hear, but then again, it was the truth.

”No! I am looking for blacksmiths.” Now this was different from what Su thought Midnight might be looking for. Yet, she also knew that the flying ships and the floating ships would need to be focused on for travel. It was also hard to get those built faster, meaning that there had to be a recruitment of more craft focused class users.

”If we can manage to get those then maybe a few people will want to go with them. You should advertise to merchant groups who might want to send small groups of guards there to collect new materials.” She wanted to help Midnight but Su wasnʼt going to go out of her way to try to convince those who might have other jobs elsewhere. It was a busy point for Genesis right now.

Rulers were visiting, there were new visitors every day from various elemental planes, and there were long term training plans for specific projects like being an emissary for the elemental plane travels and negotiations.

”Miss Su and Miss Midnight, I am very glad I found you. There is a meeting happening with sir Gil in relation to a new race wishing to come from the wind elemental plane to Genesis. Would you two be able to leave and assist him?” The harpy that gracefully landed in front of them extended a small letter with the location and the rough details she had already spoken about. It appeared that everyone was being given some notice of this and Gil had taken the lead.

”Yes.” with affirmation, the harpy flew off to communicate her letter delivered so that another task could be taken. Both Midnight and Su enjoyed the fact that they could easily receive communication without having to check communication crystals or career multiple of them. They knew new things would come to take their place but a small note or letter always seemed better than the other methods so far.

”I guess we can worry about Walkerʼs plans later after we have seen this new race.” Midnightʼs eyes glimmered with excitement as Su took the lead toward one of the bridges to the elemental planes. While it was toward the one between the earth and fire dragon run territories, they knew that if they were meeting a race they might need their expertise to help block some mana.

While Su had great defensive abilities, Midnight could work as a similar role. They could ensure that a lot of mana didnʼt bother or even reach those being escorted if that was the case. Especially if they had others working with them and the right gear or potions to also assist this new race.

When they did reach where they needed to be, it had only been a short half hour because of their speed in moving. They did find that quite a few mages had been called and had already set up wind based defensive bubbles. While often used to block arrows or thrown projectiles, they were also good for keeping wind mana moving around certain areas or targets. For this, it gave protection to this new race who were not accustomed to the different manas of the world.

”Su, Midnight! Glad you came. I want to introduce you to a few friends who heard about me and my partner Zephyr through the emissaries. They are very excited to come here and meet others who practice archery and wind magic.” Gil was bright and seemingly too energetic while standing beside several very tall robed figures.

The robes were made in Genesis and all had runes channeling wind mana and protecting from other manas. They were made for situations like this but it also seemed that the crew who came could handle the wind mana very well. They were cloaking themselves in wind to keep themselves safe but clearly had strong resistances for other manas as well.

”These are Midnight, a true dragon champion and hero and this is Su, a half dragon, true dragon guardian and hero. Both of them are family to me and you can treat them like myself since they will help you all the same as I will.” Gil brought the two of them over and both Midnight and Su were somewhat shocked. They had never seen Gil acting so personable and professional. They almost stopped and asked Gil if he had been replaced within one of the mimics or mimic slime race or something similar. They might even be looking at a doppelganger.

”It is kind of you to come to greet us. We are of the scaled hawk race and came here searching for a new land to nest. We were told that there are no predators who will consume our young here. We can also rest well at night without watching mothers and fathers perish due to exhaustion in fighting and guarding their nests.” as they removed the hoods of their cloaks, the scale like feathers covering their hawk heads and rough humanoid bodies were clear.

Now the bulging at their backs proved to be wings along with their feet being sharp talons made for grabbing on to prey. Their hands extended to shake and create them were more like a dragonʼs claws but halfways between becoming a normal human hand. It was an interesting anatomy but even more so an interesting feeling from both Midnight and Su.

”You can tell right? They have a mixed bloodline and became intelligent from their mixing of bloodlines and years of survival. They have ancestors of wind dragons and a monster called the tempest sky hawk because of that they have amazing wind affinity. They also travel, finding better nesting locations for their people every year. If they are able top come here, they will be able to overcome their past losses.” Su and Midnight appeared to understand what he was saying so Gil returned to the conversation he had been having before the pair got here.

”I believe you will have to test it out, you have a lot of resistances because you have traveled near other elemental planes. That is in your favor since the world is always balanced. Some places have denser manas for one or a handful of verities, but they all have mana balanced together. That is how our world works.” He offered a guiding hand to the leader as they left the threshold of the bridge to the elemental planes.

They all saw as Midnight and Su were using skills related to wind to cover their bodies and repel manas around them. It was something unique since they had not expected self buffing skills to be used to enhance the safety of an area. Yet, it was all because Midnight and Su had worked together for a long time that they were able to meld their formation in this way.

”Welcome to Genesis. This is the fire and earth territory area, we will quickly move you to the wind territory where the royal wind dominator dragon Ventus will greet us. She just returned from some personal training and quests along with meeting her children.” Gil saw the slight flinching of the scaled hawk race, the manas around were rougher on them than he hoped, but he also saw how the mana from the mages invigorated them enough to move strongly ahead.

”We are eager to see your home. If what we have been told of it is half true, we will find peace here.” Hope was a brilliant thing, and the leader of the scaled hawk race possessed a great amount of it.
