Master Of None

Chapter 2761: 2761. Search The Past

There was a lot racing through Walkerʼs mind. However, he was trying to make sense of the unique connection between the two grimoires. They were twins that came together to make one book so to speak. They had to share mana between them so that they would increase in strength and be able to channel the manas that were put within them by a wielder. They could be a focus on mana to act the same as a wand, staff, or orb used as a central weapon by a mage.

Yet, they were more than that. They could allow someone to instantly learn a magic spell that they would then be able to slowly grow as a spell that could be seen as their own. It was not some simple book that just allowed for knowledge to be passed on, it was a pair of books that focused as both knowledge and weapon.

Beyond this, it was attached to a mysterious arch mage that once existed and gave up their body.

”Are there are other books matching these two? Bring them to me as soon as you can. They may have knowledge related to what is within them.” Walker was so focused that he didnʼt realize the little princess was focusing on a series of books holding even more mana.

The twin grimoires had absorbed mana and she found that interesting, however, they did not show the same color that she liked, the color of space mana which was why she was pulled away. However, her curiosity had brought her to another stack of books that helped various colored manas in her eyes, along with a small flicker of space mana.

Therefore, she was digging through them much in the same way that a child would dig in to a toybox. The books being set down helter skelter did not seem to put at ease anyone who was glancing their way, yet, no one said anything because they knew she had come with Walker. A few of them had also heard him call her princess which put them off of any thought in calling her out on her messy actions.

Then again, Walker did take a chance to look over despite his mind racing. He knew that the books, if any that matched, would take some time to get brought to him. He also thought he should look more at the books that the little princess was going through. ”Are they catching your eye there?” Walker had avoided using her name since she changed it now and then but he still caught her attention easily.

”The pretty mana is in here. I want to see it even more.” She was reaching for a damaged gray and red book that appeared to hold the tiniest bit of space mana on it. Potentially from being transported using the elemental teleportation rune formation. But he still helped and grabbed it appraising it as well.

ʼIs the world all there is?

This book was written by a mad hermit, he believed that the world was larger than what was known and exiled due to his fanatic beliefs. He claimed that the very foundations of the world were all derived from mana at the purest form and only held together by space mana as a foundation. At the time of his ramblings, he was considered insane since the small villages he lived in were believers of a deity.

This book holds chaotic writings and observations of mana dense areas influencing the space that others live in after the cut in ties to the elemental planes. While uninformed and lacking in education, the beliefs within the book allow for some depth in understanding how manas influence space.

There are also a few spells described by the mad hermit that he believed himself to be capable of casting if his affinity for certain manas was greater. Due to this, this book can both be a beneficial research topic along with examples of how some theories in older times would be cast out…ʼ

”This book was written by a hermit driven mad by his ideas and exiled by his village. Everything within may not be easy to grasp. It also might be emotional. However, he understood that other manas could affect space mana as a whole. I hope that you can take this in mind while you read?”

Looking at the little princess, Walker saw a glimmer in her eyes telling him that she didnʼt care if it was chicken scratched notes or the most elegant handwriting ever seen. She just cared that she might be able to learn about the pretty space mana she saw lingering around it. ”Here it is then.” He sighed and watched as she sat right on the floor, a very unfitting position for a princess, but she was a child after all.

”Sir hero, we have found several books from ruins that are of the same making. They come from different areas though, we are unsure if you still wish to see them?” The archivists who reacted to him had all of these books categorized and separated in to different elemental magic theories groups. While they lacked the clasps that the twin grimoires had, they were made of the same materials and had the same rune markings covering them.

Several were even radiating different manas. Two had fire mana holding on to them, seven had wind mana lingering, one had light mana, two had dark mana, and five of them had water mana. The last he saw was a barely held together copy seemingly awaiting repair that had earth mana around it. Only the careful eyes of the archivists had noticed that I had the same materials and brought it here.

”These twin grimiores were made by an ancient arch mage. They may still be alive in another form, but they spoke about five destroyed magic towers where I believe these books were taken from. Or they were taken from ruins that might be associated with them. Please release a quest to the adventurerʼs guild to explore those areas and map them. We will be looking deeper in to these records now.”

Walker had found something that might prove to be valuable to everyone within Genesis. Simply understanding the higher achievements of this arch mage might enlighten him on how far someone could take magic and mana if they understood it in the same way that he had.

Even greater, if he could learn how to create magic scrolls with a perfect ability to pass on a spell to another, then guiding mages in basic elemental manipulation would be much more rapid. They could gain the skill at the weakest possible level and begin using their time to understand that mana rather than having to take time to grasp understanding and push themselves to gain the manipulation of that mana.

It would be changing the order of how training happened which might be tougher to adapt to. Yet, it could allow for there to be better ways of training mages and any magic related class. There was also the potential that others could use it.

What if these guaranteed skill scrolls could teach a basic combat technique skill? Or what if they could teach the basic theory of healing? Would there be a better way for more people to grow and learn? He had to learn the materials to create these things. The other books he had appraised also stood as incredibly valuable and he just needed the right people to invest time within them.

”I will start a team right now to examine all of this. Please prepare a room not being used. I will need the help of a few researchers, archivists, and magic craftsmen. Please send a rune researcher as well.” His orders were sent and Walker knew very well that he would need to focus on everything possible to achieve this lost knowledge for the current day and age.

”Oh, youʼre awake?” Walker felt something stir within him. Fleur seemed to have woken up after feeling Walkerʼs mana being absorbed by the twin grimoires. She had sensed it enough that she had woken up from resting and come out to see.

While she had a duty to the spirit race, they did not need her direct interference. The spirit race were unique in themselves and could not easily be bent to do anything they did not wish to do. Therefore, they had the same rights as any other race, but were more protected as they had lost certain things in the past. That led to them being more respected than other races since they now stood as unique beings who overcame many other things.

”Want to help me learn a little bit here and there?” Walker knew that with her being awake that her focus on mana greater than his might be valuable. Plus, Fleur might want to explore a little around the library since some of the books found held history about the elemental spirits being used in crafting. She could use this as a way to keep the spirit race and elemental spirits protected for the future as well.
