Master Of None

Chapter 2778: 2778. Kinda Dumb For A Smart Guy

”Good morning Alice. Thank you for bringing me breakfast.” As much as Walker rested, he didnʼt. He had been captured by the planning and assisting in preparations for a new exploration. He had also received amazing news on the rune research lately along with the research within the ancient angel ruins.

With everything going on, he had become a desk worker rather than out using his hands to progress everything like he wanted to. Then again, this might just be a natural progression since so many people working in Genesis were so talented now. They didnʼt need his intervention to move everything along.

They stood on their own with their own skills. They had their own strength.

It made everyone proud which was a good thing to be right now while they expanded Genesis even more.

”I thought you might be working too hard.” Alice leaned in to Walker more than knowing he was still stuck thinking about the potential needs of the exploration. Then again, would she like him any more if he didnʼt care so much for the people following him? She thought not.

”I have been neglecting any rest, I know, but mana can keep me going very well. If I had been awake when the spirit race came to the forges then we would have missed all of the good things. I didnʼt know how many elemental spirits wished to interact with the world they drew their mana and formed themselves from. As many elemental spirits become proper spirit race members, their hope to bond with others and interact is much greater than I realized.”

This wasnʼt just Walker finding it amazing that he had so many members of the spirit race who wished to be able to control the dwarven golems for the exploration. It was because the pure intent to interact with the world and others that the spirit race possessed in their youngest members was truly pure and not empty as other promises may be in life.

They truly wished to be part of the world in more than one way. They wished to experience what they had felt their whole lives before being able to intelligently understand their connections to mana and the world.

They had been part of the world at a core level before growing enough to be an official member of the spirit race. Upon doing so, they now desired to live the same ways as other races. To be part of the great changes and growth they had witnessed and felt.

The wild feeling of exploring unknown lands.

The intense emotions to a battle protecting others.

The adoration that came with those who saw their hazard earned efforts paying off.

The spirit race wished to grasp that with their own hands and they could do that with more truth when they bonded with a dwarven golem made for them. Even better, if they lost that golem and experienced pain, they could leave the core and flee so that they could live another day. They could also bring back the information that they gathered in that painful moment. It was unlike other races who had fewer life saving measures as part of what they were as a being.

While Walker had not pushed this as a reason behind why he wished the spirit race to join this exploration, he was glad that those of the spirit race who came understood their strength in this endeavor.

While the spirit race had been amazing teachers of mana, they did not wish to be some race of just natural knowledge. They wanted to fight and argue. They wanted to trade and celebrate. If they could do the same properly with the other races, then they would perfectly be one with them rather than feeling separated from them like they did now.

That was one thing Fleur had begun to feel from the spirit race and as a leader wished to make sure that it was not something that they felt as a race. Walker had been impressed with her since she had seen the potential in his project to make her own race feel as if they mattered more to everything within Genesis and not just part of little things here and there without as much substance emotionally.

”Su and Midnight have been very active lately. They are meeting with Remey today for something they said they needed a lot of.” This caused Walker to become confused. He couldnʼt imagine why Alice was focusing on this and why she had brought it to him. But looking at her small smirk, he began to understand she was hiding something from him, which was very unusual.

”You know something then?”

She smiled widely, blinding him a bit as she hummed a bit. ”I might.” After a short pause, Alice responded in a sing song voice, ”But should I tell you when you havenʼt spent enough time with me?”

Now Walker was even more distracted and dumbfounded. Alice never acted so pushy and teasingly. Normally she was so reserved but right now Walker felt like he was losing some sort of battle. Like he was the prey and he had to step up if he wanted to keep the brilliant light that he had.

”Then why donʼt you and I take this chance to walk and find out what those three are working on? The little princess was taken away by the king for a while since she fell asleep three times while reading. Rest is important for her even if she wants to grow up faster with that unique skill. The archivists here have plans and maps along with plenty of help. So we donʼt have to stay here reading reports.”

”You donʼt need to read about the new discoveries in the angel ruins or the rune research for gravity and floating control?”

”I can wait to read it all later. If my family needs help with something I will help them first. I already know that the gravity rune research is advancing a lot now that the ruins have been explored more. The layering rune formation techniques are also being tested to see if they can be improved and not interfere with one another.” Alice just nodded a bit since she could tell just how excited Walker was about hearing all of these things.

Even as he rambled on about the potential she just hummed softly playing with the light mana around her while listening. She knew very well that when there was a proper potential to make more floating islands, that there would be floating islands made specifically to move and remain in places where healers were needed. A floating cathedral would bring healing to places it was needed the most. On top of that, it could operate better than a floating ship would since it wasnʼt necessary for the same amount of staffing.

”We need to stop here first.” Alice halting Walker in his tracks outside of a small clothing shop made him wonder just what was going on. He was even more confused when Alice grabbed a few small blankets not even large enough to be used as a spot to sit outside for a picnic.

”You are brilliant, but I wonder what would happen if you werenʼt told some things.” Alice was still teasing him and even giggling at his confused expression while they left the shop and made their way toward Remeyʼs alchemy lab in the alchemy guild.

Of course the walk had been short, but he hadnʼt expected it to take them too long regardless. Instead, he was more confused when he saw so many herbs being brought to the lab where Remey was working on some nutrient potions. As far as he could tell, she was working to develop quite a few more than normal, and they were high quality.

He also heard Su and Remey bickering amongst one another about Alma needing them and how Gil would be staying up without sleep.

”Oh my holy flow of mana, Gilʼs going to be a dad isnʼt he!”

”Are you dumb or something? Shouldnʼt you have guessed thatʼs why we are all getting together to make these things? Alice even went out to buy some baby blankets for your sister to put rune formations on. The rune sewn fabric can be used to bring calmer mana around the baby when itʼs born.” Now Remey was even yelling at him.

Walker felt like he had just missed the biggest sign right in front of his face even made. He should have guessed it, especially when he had last been around Alma. He should have sensed the flourishing life mana gathered within her body. How had he missed it?

”Wait, is this why you said Gil was getting ahead of….” Alice was smirking and started to giggle again. Walker was just left feeling like he was on the losing end once again before Midnight leaped over and started to brag about how she would have another younger sibling.
