Master Of None

Chapter 2242: 2242. A Guest



The area around the nature mana natural rune was still blocked off. However, it was in a much smaller way. This was just to ensure that there were not issues as time went on. There could always be someone that had the desire to experiment again. Let alone someone who wanted to sue the rune for their own needs.

Right this second, the best thing to do was make sure the area was safe while the arcane architect built the remainder of the tower around the odd crystal that formed when the rune fully came together.

The news of this successful formation was also restricted. Mosty to prevent the chances that someone else will try to force a rune like this again. While the natural runes clearly had their own rules and their own boons, they came with dangers. They could easily cause rune formations to collapse. Easily cause people to become greedy. Or even worse if not used properly.

Beyond all this, there were some races that surely had sensed the changes nearby. That being the case, they might need to come here for their own reasons. As that happened, there would have to be conversations with unbiased and fair standpoints by those not affiliated with that race. Another small challenge for Genesis to overcome.

"You two are just sleeping here? Do you know how busy I have been!"

Both Walker and Gil froze on the spot. They knew very well that whatever they did now would get them in trouble. "We were just recovering for a short while before coming back to you." Gil tried his best to talk his way out of it, but they had just slept for a few hours after eating. Right in the middle of the forest before having a new guard set up.

"Do you think I am blind? Even if I was, I can tell that the two of you could have come to the Genesis building to explain the situation right when you had finished starting a new guard patrol for this area." She looked at the odd crystal before looking at Walker.

She had heard the situation and the details related to it. Those who had caused it were already dealing with their punishment. The risk to Genesis sform their actions without proper protection was major. Therefore, it was being treated as seriously as any other crime would be. Not because the leaders of Genesis were cruel, but to show exactly the level of respect they have for the city and the alliance they came together to form.

"You also have a guest waiting for you. She had been frozen in the main hall of the Genesis building for a few days now. It is rude to make them wait." Just to get back at Walker a little, Su didn't tell him who the guest was. Besides, Gil couldn't ruin that either since he had also missed the details associated with the true water mage.

Hearing he had a guest, Walker wondered who it would be. And since Su wasn't telling him, he had to rush to the Genesis building just to see.

On his way, he noticed that the city was busy as always. Nothing appeared out of place. There were even a few more spirit race using dwarven golems as means of transport and bonding than before. It meant that the growth and bonding of races was still on the rise. Exactly as he hoped it would be.

But when he neared the Genesis building, Walker sensed a deeper mana. The strength of water mana that he had only sense when he was within the elemental plane of water. His mind raced to figure out if it was the pure ice demons, but he knew that the mana felt different. So, it left him with a potential for another person that came from the same plane.

When he walked in to the building, he understood. He also saw the ice melt as if it was nothing to do so. "You are the one I have waited for. The true earth sage told me that I would sense you when you got close. But this body is only one made to carry memories and experiences. It took me too long to grasp the feeling."

"I should take it that the true water sage came here after I welcomed the pure ice demons to come to Genesis. I hope that it did not cause you too much trouble. However, I do not turn away any in need." Walker made it clear that he had his reasons and the true water sage made it clear that she was not holding negativity.

For a moment, Walker looked at the armor covered in water runes and understood that the water, ice, and water affinity herb body must have been hard to look at and understand. Therefore, someone gave her this armor to use to cover herself. Plus, the more humanoid body different from the spirit race of water affinity was challenging for other reasons to look

at.

"I did come here for that reason. It was not much trouble, just a relocation of a small village of another smaller race. It happened within the hour. I came here to see what else may make them remain. To meet the young origin being that was trying to bring the world in to proper balance with the grand planes we strive to defend in our daily lives. Even the water king is interested to hear my thoughts about you."

This was not surprising. The elemental kings were bound to the elemental planes. They were and would always be the very embodiments of what the mana was that they stood for. The earth king was clearly impressive but even their party had only met a small part of his body. Let alone what they truly were. The odds that the elemental kings didn't even have a true body might be higher than he thought.

"I can feel the uniqueness of your mana. And I have seen and listened while resting here. Many people speak of you and your family. They claim you are the base for all that they have become in the recent year. I have heard of the small additions you make to every growth within this alliance and city. How your interest causes growth in droves."

"I have seen those with battle scars and suffering scars smile because they are here. That is not always the case for those within the elemental planes. The pure ice demons especially had it on the harder side. Their very own strength, their high affinity for pure water mana, was a curse to them."

"Their tubes never grew large. One impure ice demon would cause many to perish if it was not caught by those strong enough to do so. Here, they have a chance. It is very inspirational." He could tell that the true water sage had been listening to every single thing happening in the main hall while waiting. She knew a great deal just from sitting there as dormant ice.

"I expect a tour of the home you created. Before I make my decisions on whether I will become an ally or will vote against an alliance. The elemental kings will stand united regardless of the logic. The true sages are there to advise as eyes beyond their sight."

This was news to Walker. He knew that the true sages worked with the goals of the elemental kings. That was not new. However, that they did so with such closeness that they could be called their eyes, now that was new. It spoke volumes of how much the true sages could influence the elemental kings if need be.

There was a little pressure that Walker could feel, but he also understood this was a clear warning. That if he did not show off the truth, that he would be making an enemy instead of anything else. "I can show you the very first place we started. Then we can move through the race's territories, then to the dragon territories that were built and are still being built."

"We made things similar to the flow of the elemental planes and a rune formation. Mostly to increase the effects of the magic tower which helps heal, smooth the flow of manas, and generally helps the air remain clean and fresh." It was better to say that than to say purification effects. Regardless, he started explaining the first moment they decided to create Genesis.

The questions started as soon as they made it to the first market street. The next thing Walker knew, he was explaining how many of the fruits and foods were either newly discovered, came from far away, or even could be called extinct a few months ago.

The pressure he felt was soon gone as Walker began to take full pride in Genesis yet again.
