Master Of None

Chapter 2769: 2769. Need More People

As Walker arrived back at the library, he was not surprised at all to find the little princess running the show. Not only was she ordering around some of the attendants who worked in the archive, she was also reading a book while doing it!

He had left her here because he knew she was more than just safe. There were unseen guards all around important guests like her. Otherwise, the archivists, researchers, and other workers within the archive and library had no desire to harm her at the very start. They were actually enjoying her desire to learn more about space mana and how it influenced other manas.

”I see you have made some good progress.” Walker surprised her and she recoiled a bit, acting as if she was shy rather than confidently sending out orders to people just a moment ago.

”Iʼve been learning…” she tried to make it seem like she had just been doing something normal for someone her age. Not that Walker cared if she was working hard to learn things outside of her age range, she had the brains to move beyond certain aspects of her understanding and taking advantage of that was what she should be doing with the wealth of knowledge within Genesis right now.

”It looks like you are trying to research if there are any materials related to elemental manas that also influence space mana. Thatʼs a good start if you want to expose yourself to more space mana and allow your body to begin to acclimate to it and awaken skills or a class related. I would also say you should spend your time around the teleportation formations even more. A few of them are being altered to hold a space rune. From there they can hold many more runes too and will draw more space mana naturally.”

This sparked a new glint in the little princessʼs eyes while Walker also realized that the room she had been moved to was not at all full of maps or materials related to what he needed to research right now.

With a slight nod, he began moving toward a larger room with a lot more commotion. He also sensed the presence of someone familiar. ”Onyx, did you end up working on this project already?”

”Brother? ” Onyx was curled up looking at a larger map placed on the wall. It was a copy from the grand mapping hall and enough to work out a few theories of where they might be able to travel in search of a different continent. The reason Walker knew this was because there were drawings of what the water currents were like along that shore. He had not expected that there were water mages, water dragons, and others able to differentiate the currents within the ocean on the northern and western shores enough to understand it to this degree.

”I didnʼt think you would be back from checking on the younger serpents. I take it they are doing well enough that you arenʼt needed as much?” Since Onyx was raising his race more and more, Walker knew he should be exceptionally busy with whatever may be going on.

”They may not need me much at all. They have all been growing in our territory or working with other races. They are more integrated than some of the larger races within Genesis because this is our home and foundation.” Pride was the prominent emotion within Onyxʼs voice while he told this to Walker.

It was all true though. Plenty of the youngest serpents had been going on adventurers with the adventurerʼs guild or working with the crafting guild. That wasnʼt even telling what some of those with the stronger dark mana and light mana were doing for guards duties or healing duties. They had really diversified themselves while being interested in whatever they saw. If any race could say that they had seamlessly bonded with Genesis, it was the race that Onyx fostered as a patriarch and an originator now.

”I am proud of you. I am also glad you could come and see what I have been working on between helping Remey make some unique potions.” Walker didnʼt blab about the potion that had just been created. However, he also knew that Onyx would hear about it most likely within the next few hours after Remey made her announcement. Odds were she was still resting right now though.

”Yes brother. This appears to be very unique. I have already met several guard captains volunteering their groups to be the pens to explore. There are also five highly known adventurer groups that wish to come as well. The leads of the adventurerʼs guild wish to begin a quest related to building more transport since the floating ships and regular ships are advancing.”

”Thatʼs a good idea. Having more people that can work on or be involved in the two sides of the ship building would be ideal.” He contemplated what it would mean to focus more on the adventurerʼs guild before realizing that the number of people in Genesis was most likely not enough for all the current projects.

The world forces within Genesis were still young. They needed more time to advance their skills and develop themselves in general. Overall, this meant that the rapid expansion Genesis had was slowing due to the fact that the influx of people from various races was evening out. Those who had come here for a new opportunity were living that right now.

Expecting more people to come would be harder to manage since there was a second city being built and every race within their own respective territories and kingdoms had their own developments being done. Especially in terms of races like the angels who were dead set on recovering lost parts of their history from ancient times.

”Brother, you should look more closely at these maps. What stands out?”

Onyx was seemingly teasing in his question which made Walker wonder if more had been uncovered than what he realized. After carefully looking at the maps made, he noticed that there was something he had missed. Not in just the fact that the water currents on the map were there in greater detail, but in the fact that they moved in patterns in certain areas. Patterns that would only make sense if something was stopping them from a more natural flow.

”Are there islands or underwater reefs in these areas?” Onyx hissed slightly proving he didnʼt know either. But then he saw that some of the smaller maps on the table had markings on them. They were theories related to the writing and other aspects of mapping from the grand mapping hall. Some even directly related to some information from the books Walker had already checked out that matched the twin grimoires.

”They think that part of the continent we are searching for is underwater now since in ancient times there might not have been as much water in the oceans?” Onyx raised his head in excitement at Walkerʼs understanding. He had already been here out of curiosity and read through things. He had also been able to establish his involvement in this exploration. Since Walker returned, he was glad to share what he found.

”If this is true then these places would be mountains and there are plenty of underwater ruins. It also means off some distance from where we have not mapped we would find the continent… it might be larger than what we realized.” Walker understood that there might be limitations now.

If they had to explore this continent, they would need many more people and they would have to establish a camp. They would also need to have a group who was able to explore the underwater section with equal or even greater size than what they had for the above water sections.

Basically, if manpower was already an issue for the projects they had, this was a whole new level of trouble to figure out. ”I think we will need to see if we can find more people that want to explore from the other kingdoms. We might even need to see if any of the people from the elemental planes can withstand being in the world yet.” The ideas could be solutions, however, the races within the elemental planes might not be able to help even a little.

Then again, if some of them could withstand the mixed manas of the world, they could be immensely helpful. It was just dependent on the potential they had. Many of the races might not even wish to risk this. The manas of the world were dangerous to them. Why would they risk their safety when they could more easily stay focused on building connections slowly to get their people in and out of the world without any problems?
