Master Of None

Chapter 2758: 2758. Heart Of Magic

”The mag tower is divided up by floor. Each floor has a density of mana based on a singular element. Itʼs troublesome for those who are not powerful enough to travel up it, however, with the right control over basic mana you can access the knowledge on that floor. Most choose to skip floors and focus on the floor dense in the mana they have affinity for though.”

Walker wasnʼt going to say that the other floors between them were weaker in mana density or had basic knowledge to test and experiment with. Otherwise he knew that this little princess might just want to stay here.

”I would say that the base of the tower is more interesting.” Since Walker gestured to the myriad of magic related class holders all bustling about, the little princess was having trouble keeping her eyes focused.

”I know it might be a little undignified, but how about we do this…” Walker picked her up and rested her on his shoulder to sit. In just a few moments, she had a better view of everyone moving around.

”We have the rune carvers and researchers who are discovering more about the ancient runes used to make the magic tower. The ancient races that used this tower had developed a city all connected to it. They were able to live in the desert and the tower even had a conciseness run by the rune formations and unique magic instilled within them. They are why the rune casters are able to carve temporary runes in the air and make the conjure specific elemental magic.”

This was a more prevalent form of magecraft lately. The rune casters had advanced a large amount compared to the small experiments that they used to do before they had gained the chance to experiment within Genesis.

”Normally the rune casters would have their training field over by those larger buildings, but right now there is a small gathering happening to trade theories and grimoires created by some of the retiring mages who came here to teach in the upcoming academies and guilds. They are going to retire from their kingdoms and teach what they can for the next generation.

This event had come about because of a small group of traveling wizards. They had based all their magic on feeling and listening to the mana they use around them. Therefore, they could utilize the magic but they were not the same as other spell casters. They did not always have the mana dwelling within their bodies. Instead, they pulled it only from around them.

Their style of magic was different since it relied on being able to understand the places that mana gathered and reach out to it. They had actually begun to get along better with other races like the echidna, spirit race, and even the elves because of this. A few had even gained classes where they bond with a member of the spirit race and became unique class holders called pack wizards. Regardless, it was a unique change that guided these wizards to change their focus.

”They know that their theories and experiences are fuel for the next generation. I am always impressed with many of the magic related classes and their desire to pass on what they know. Itʼs why there is a separate market here focused on the older tools, crafts, and books made by the different magic related classes.”

This was something that existed before Walker and Genesis had come to be. There were always mages who preferred to hunt down promising talents to take in as a student. Part of that was pride to pass on their knowledge and know that it would adapt. Other reasons were simply because they wished to claim that student as theirs and forever continue a monstrous legacy of whatever magic they both had affinities for.

Then again, there were also those with the brilliant desire to foster the future. More of them than what others would cause possess this trait which truly spoke the good within someone.

”If you can see it, there are small rune formations that are forming in the air. They are the strands of mana connected to the small magic towers. Herb gardens were made to create natural runes and then a small tower was built with that as the center. They might not be proper natural runes, but they are important to the development of Genesis and the territories all around the continent and eventually the world.”

”Those are teleporting formations!”

”Yes, they are the teleportation formations and some locations are camps for travelers, healing buildings in wilderness areas, and I believe one is being built near one of the dungeons being explored right now.” Walker knew that the little princess had learned a lot but this was proof that she had a rough grasp of the small magic towers. It also helped that a few had been made near the human territories recently.

”The mana flow here and there is changing because of who is arriving. You can see that mage with a larger mana gem in the staff he carries?” The little princess nodded, ”he is an ice mage but he draws water mana in to his body, then condenses it within that mana gem to be able to always have a larger amount of ice mana within his staff for spells. He is currently here visiting because he helped map a smaller area in the north where ice and snow is common. He is selling materials he found but I heard he was able to find a few herbs that naturally gather the ice mana.”

The amount that Walker knew allowed him to point out a greater deal of items, people, and general facts about the buildings here. It was a lot to take in but he knew very well that the little princess was absorbing it all even if she was unable to properly understand it just yet.

”Hold on tightly, I will move again.” Her eyes grew wide and in a step, Walker had teleported them a few feet away to the top of one of the buildings with a roof open to the air. ”This area is where some of the mages who can fly rest. If you look from here you can see how the magic tower is enhancing the density of mana throughout the entire territory and working with the calm mana flow of the elemental spirit trees.”

”Mana is a balance and a foundation to the world and all things. Space is the base, itʼs like the bones in the body. The other manas alow for the skin, muscles, and hair to grow. Time mana would allow for progress and change to occur through all of them. Then life and death is the spark of balance that allows for everything to become unique.”

His interpretation was clear enough that the little princess was able to grow even more serious. She was a child after all, but her mind worked differently due to her ancient eyes. She has seen mana and developed a process of thinking differently than others. But that didnʼt mean that she could instantly cast spells or learn everything that needed interpretation in an instant. She needed time to grasp what everything meant to her.

”Think about it while we look in to the grand archive.” Walker stepped forward and each step flashed a new location until they stood in front of the grand archive. ”Oh, it looks like a few people are delivering new books that will be copied over the next few weeks.”

The carriages bringing in carefully stored books would go to the larger rooms to be organized and cleaned if needed before coping. Plenty of situations had arisen due to small monsters that ate paper or molds that threatened to grow and ruin books. Those who cared for them were incredibly thorough to the point that it was easier to say this was the best kept place in all of Genesis.

”I promised you more books than you could read. Well, right now the library we possess just from the human cities and territory has brought us over twenty five thousand books just on fantasy stories. What would you think about the books based on the weather or magic? How about history? Now ask yourself about the same for the elven people who archived their entire history as closely as they could in each of their different territories.”

Walker was enjoying the reactions of this little princess. He remind couldnʼt keep up with everything he was showing her so she was constantly finding the word to be a larger place than what she had imagined. Yet, he also knew that this was changing the way she thought and would live in the future. Her violet eyes had changed her path from the very start, but he had just shown her a potential she had never thought possible even in her dreams.

All it took was a little showing off.
