Master Of None

Chapter 2521: 2521. Stored Away

”You already have a ton of food, farming tools, and even some small sheds stored in your high spatial storage, is there not a limit?” Remey was the one next to Walker right now. She had been focusing on the herbs and how to properly store them so that they could be grown later.

Her knowledge had helped the coal people and the farmers managed to extract the very important roots that would go dormant when they did not have enough fire mana. With some magesʼ assistance,s he was able to make them all go dormant. She even managed to teach a few of the coal people have to do these things themselves.

Just because the coal people didnʼt have highly manipulative ability when it came to their fire mana, did not mean they lacked the natural ability to draw some fire mana away from something small. It was just enough to put some herb roots in to a dormant state which was what they needed right now.

”I have a lot more space in the high spatial storage. Now that i understand space mana a lot better. Itʼs easier to call it my own personal strange plane, like the space elemental planes but it lacks all other manas and sort of freezes things. They stay the way they are and thatʼs why i canʼt carry around people in it or living animals. Herbs in dormant state work but very few will survive properly if they are fully alive.”

This was just how Walker understood things. He knew that he might be able to learn how to make a storage space of some form, like some tamers managed to do. They were able to have one or two tamed monsters enter in toa space that they could slumber in, however, that was all they could do there. They could sleep in a hibernation state.

His idea was that there might be more of a chance for him to be able to make a place where people could remain fully awake and functional. Something like that would mean he understood both space and other mana smooch better. One mana being time mana which was entirely lost to him.

That could be a good thing though, Walker had no idea how he could begin properly contemplating time mana. He also understood that anything he did that manipulated it could affect everything around him in the same ways that space mana did. Meaning it was an exceptionally dangerous mana to manipulate.

At the very least with life and death mana, he could sue the two to negate the other. They were not necessarily opposites, just both parts of a cycle. This idea was also why he did not wish to push to hard in to them right now, he had to focus on the actions he needed to take and not delve in to hyper focused meditation to grasp these larger in depth manas.

”I think you are getting a lot more interested in all this space mana and making things from mana or using mana. You know you always use that all around appraisal on every tool and every material here. I know you do it for everything but we can all see when your mind is running around trying to figure something out.” She nudged Walker a little harder to snap him out of whatever thoughts he had.

”Youʼre right. I feel like I keep learning more and more about everything around us. How the world works, how it was meant to be, and how we will see it years in to the future. I just want to make sure that we arenʼt doing anything to damage what we are working so hard for.”

It was a fair worry that they all had. They all felt that they might be doing the wrong thing here and there. ”We all feel like we might do the wrong thing. I accidentally taught the younger alchemists how to make a sleeping cloud potion the other day. I mixed up the classes that were being held and did a more advanced potion demonstration. They failed but they were fine. They all were much happier than usual.”

The way that Remey shrugged that off made it sound like it was just an average day, but it did help a little since Remey wasnʼt holding back with her own mistakes. She had shown that she was able to handle a lot more than what she would have done when they had just begun as adventurers.

”Youʼre right. Youʼre right. So, how do we think the others are doing? They are out finding even more of the flame crawling coal so that we can leave with a better stockpile.” Remey shrugged again as she noticed the larger group of farms moving some more tools and stored goods their way.

Midnight was the one who had managed to take in the scent of the area they had traveled. For her, she was not necessarily searching for the actual smell of the flame crawling coal. Instead, she had learned something from watching Walker.

He had trained how to use mana sense to a high degree. He could even move about with his eyes closed which he often did to help him train. For Walker, high mana sense was the same as having his eyes open anyways.

When it came to Midnight, she had focused on the extremely high ability that dragons had to smell many things around them and pick out unique scents. Other monsters possessed this along with some other races. However, not as many could incorporate mana in to the scents that they were smelling.

Midnight was focused on the unique mana mixed with the burning smell of flame crawling coal. This on top of her moving in the same direction where they had come from in the first place, easily tracked down some corrupted flame crawling coal. They were not able to use it for the coal people but Walker would be able to use it along with the other mages or understand the whole lifespan of flame crawling coal.

She also noticed more of the crickets that dug in to the flame crawling coal and decided to smell them and follow that on a whim.

The large group with her including a decent group of coal people who had pick axes made from the fire related metals were shocked to find that Midnight was leading them to more flame crawling coal so close to their lands. They had already mined out severe chunks, but this was too exceptional.

The struggle to procure it was because they did not find the flame crawling coal within their lands and had to leave them for a risk to get a little bit. The monsters outside could be a risk they needed to face while they had to survive. They also would not have the guardians that they relied on to protect them from the very works, meaning that they had only themselves to worry about.

Many coal people had never returned. Yet, Su had already handled a small group of monsters that roamed around. The embering films were a species of slime monster that only ate flame crawling coal. Su had smashed them a sight with her twin shields proving that she had power able to defend them. More importantly, she had gathered their broken cores which were able to be used to study more about the flame crawling coal.

All of this was well outside of what any of them understood as normal. Their people had never been able to do such things. Yet again though, when they saw how Gil darted ahead and brought back smaller monster bodies they knew that he was working as a forward scout to handle the dangers. It was so quick and efficient they wondered if they would ever see danger again once they and their people entered the world.

It was too much of a shock when they suddenly found an even larger chunk of flame crawling coal, which Midnight used her claws to scrape up from the ground. She had smelled in deep in the fiery soil of the fire elemental planes and pulled it up for them all to see.

When it came to the promises that these visitors made, they were exceeding them at every turn. They were radically improving their attachments and the coal people were already trying to think of what they could do in return.

Out of nowhere, their lives were changing so much. They even had a clearly healthier life ahead of them. One that might allow them to reach their true potential as a race. Such things were dreams before. To say that they felt they were in heaven was only a small part of the excitement and hope they ot possessed.
