Master Of None

Chapter 2379: 2379. Flying High



"It's bringing the wind mana around this spot here. Making it almost like a tornado, but then the wind mana is stopped from causing damage to the area and calmed down right away. It doesn't seem to make sense unless you follow the mana and see how it moves other wind mana. But then you have the potential for the earth-"

"Don't go making this a lesson please." The man who spoke was not trying to be rude, he was holding the hand of a little girl which struck Walker as odd. When Walker looked at the little girl's face, he saw her smile drifting in to boredom.

From what it appeared, this was just like any child who had something wondrous and magical made in to a lesson. Most would not be as enthused as they had even before they knew how it worked. The man who had spoken was just keeping the wonder in the world.

"I can, but can I first ask why you two are here?" He was curious. Walke had not worried too much about the list of passengers who would be on the floating ship as it slowly rose up. He knew very well that the chives were brought forth for many reasons and many guild leaders had taken focus on this so Walker did not have to. It was better that he didn't need to approve of all the people either.

"I have got that question seven times already, care to tell him?" the man shook his head slightly before moving his head to the little girl.

"I have a class!" Her slight hop while saying it proved that even with the wonder of being on a ship floating in to the sky that some things would definitely always feel more important. Especially when someone her age would rarely have a class already.

"She liked rocks, so, she always tried to break them open and figure out where good ones might be. Her class is called the rock hunter. She has skills that help her find good ones. She already found three different unique ores mixed in to a bunch of useless rocks. Two of which we didn't think were important. So, I am bringing her with us. We are part of the analyzing team when the materials come back." The little girl nodded a few times before making sure Walker was giving her an impressed smile.

"So we are the people who will be ready to handle everything found. That's good. I'm Walker, if you need anything just ask. And I won't make you sit through hearing about how many mana gems or what spirit race individuals are in charge of what areas. I also won't tell you about the lower flood with a glass floor that lets you see the ground below you safely because there are runes carved all over it for safety." he saw her start pulling toward the stairs to the lower floors.

"It's good to meet the hero, thanks for that." The man gave a wave and Walker was left watching the city get smaller and smaller in the distance.

The height of the ship was not going to go above the clouds. It was better that it didn't do that anywhere nearby Genesis because of the fact that the cloud fairies could build in the clouds. Not that there was proof it would disturb them since clouds could move around objects. But it would still be exceptionally rude to the new race that was arriving.

While the real test of the floating ship had all been done to ensure that it worked before this main event, Walker felt that this unveiling was more of a celebration for those on the ground. He knew that they would be celebrating and raving for days. On the ship though, there was a very great seriousness.

The people working to maintain the ship had their focus set up to their highest functional level. They needed to be since they now held the lives of over a hundred people in their hands. Then there were those who would be working on the ground when they reached the lava fields.

While it would be close to a day moving at full speed, this was important to note. They had to have every single thing they brought with them prepared or else they could suffer dangers. There had been special equipment made that could help them walk over the thinner cooled magma rocks that would normally crack and break at the touch. Since this was the case, it would be safer, but those rune formations on the boots had to be unkempt and cleaned. If not, then the wind mana lightning their weight could fail.

There wasn't much else when it came to worries about other things though. The monsters were more or less well documented. That meant that the guarding forces were prepared already to defend those that were at risk. The miners and the other materials hunters could be prepared.

The goal was to bring back the maximum load of materials. Ores, monster materials, and even whatever plants existed within the lava fields. Whatever could be used without destroying the environment or damaging it too far to be called safe to recover. There were some with expertise in these things that were with them. The fire elves and some dragonkin specifically.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

All of this did not ignore that a few wind dragons were also flying high in the sky watching the ship. Another reason it was not flying very high. Easier for the wind dragons to use their mana and abilities to help save the ship if it began to fall.

This reassurance was only covering the one major issue of the ship failing. Many of the workers controlling the ship focused on the mana flow. If the mana flowed properly the entire ship could literally explode.

That was the biggest worry and why Walker also allowed his mana senses to follow and take note of the smoothness in the flow.

Utilizing the best materials and best skills clearly made a major difference. All the testing and refining of these materials led to a much better final product. The best part was that all this was recorded so new improvements or new ships could be made.

"Are you going to stay here and wonder about the ship and the people we left down there?" Su had been waiting to get Walker's attention.

Since they had a full day to wait she knew that this could be a great idea to see what Walker actually thought of her new item. She had rested and Walker had not pushed her to speak with him about. He had given her and the wandering blacksmith a detailed all around appraisal though.

The appraisal was amazing and Su had tested some features. The swapping of armor was instant and perfect. No risk for being without armor in between and no risk for her being harmed by the process. Now all the armors she had, including some elemental armors she had stored could be brought along with her.

"I wanted to sense the flow of mana. I am helping the celebration below. I'm sure it's a lot more than what's going on here right now." He shrugged before looking at the medallion on Su's neck. "It looks good."

The runes intricately carved and lines from the added pieces made the medallion look to be a circular shield with mana gems Input inside. They showed different mana affinities perfectly showing the defensive values. The general flash of mana in it also showed some mysterious connections to mana in general.

"It does and the magic equip effects are perfect. But I want you to help me work with the storage part. I can adapt to the change in to easily, I have worn all the armor and it's mine. But I have no idea the effects of the storage. So far I might have to everything to store it."

Walker thought this would be her concern since Su knew some materials with poison or volatile manas might not allow her to touch them at all. Even her resistances would not be the best method to handle those dangers.

"I think you can touch them with your shield too. Or even your armor in general. They are able to swap in to the storage space inside the medallion, right? So why wouldn't they act as an extension of yourself?"

A flash of understanding came to Su's eyes before she touched a small cord of rope. Her arm had touched it by not her bare skin. It still disappeared though and was sent to her storage.

"I am not used to being able to do this. Thank you." Her heartfelt happiness at understanding how her own item worked made Walker feel that he was losing something a little. Now he wasn't the only one with a spatial storage. It was a little bittersweet.

"Show off that magic equip skill. It sounded amazing."
