Master Of None

"What are these?" Gil and Walker were looking at the angels that had come. Walker had already read through the small documents that had been approving of Genesis moving through the continent as they saw fit as long as they respected both empires' laws and did not cause harm. However, they would have escorts to ensure that they did not stray too far from their goals.

However, with them came a few extra books. Especially from the Fel empire. "They look like books about magic. These are all elemental books with theories about elemental planes and how to draw more mana toward magic skills. These are theories about spatial magic. I guess the Rize and Fel empires want to show us that we should be investing in them more since they know a lot."

"So basically they want to curry favor while they are helping us so that we will help them after we defeat some monsters?" Gil felt that this was a dangerous political game. The two empires were still competing to s degree without even having to face one another.

"Pretty much. But we would expect that. It's why we should put other people in charge than us. We aren't the best to handle these antics. But we are definitely taking these books for now. I want to see what they have to say about these things. Especially how their values are spelled out. I still want to see them together and not apart." Walker was sure that the angels could be brought back together.

"What about the rest of these things?" Gil was looking at the large packages around.

"I would bet that they are materials or rare things from the continent. We did express interest in trade. Especially herbs and spices. But I'm sure that they sent us materials from monsters and even a few other things. They do have the path to get to another continent now." Walker had been thinking about this a lot.

The angels had wars on the waters around their continent. That alone had been enough to cause undead to appear. It meant that besides the great coral reef that was all around the continent, they were dangerous waters. Add in the monster and other nature related issues, then the angels could only attempt to fly to another continent. They surely wouldn't be able to do that.

But now, Genesis had appeared with ships tough enough to travel through the dangerous ocean. They could maneuver the coral reef, and fight off the monsters and undead. It was a great chance to expand trade and boost both their empires. whether Genesis stayed in the middle or chose one didn't matter. It was a massive boon without any political reason. But if they could convince Genesis to choose one side, then it would be fine for them. That was why they were adding knowledge and other things to the mix.

"Find any arrows?" Walker saw that Gil was already opening the crates and other packages that had been brought.

"Listen, I haven't seen a single angel with a bow since we got here. I don't even see any of the soldiers with them. What if this entire continent doesn't use a bow at all? That would be the end of the world!" Gil's drama was not lost on Walker. He was sure that if this was the case then Gil would lead a proper protest to get people to use bows and arrows in battles or against monsters.

'Purified wind crystal

The purified wind crystal was completely purified of the natural manas that attached to it. Now it contains wind elemental mana and only that. The crystal body has been altered by a magical process within the angel's hall of wind to cause this occurrence.

The wind mana within is denser than a normal wind crystal. So much so that this could almost be called a wind gem. The angels will often use these instead of creating mana gems since these are able to be crushed and returned to the lands where the crystals were formed as nutrition for the land to create more natural mana crystals.'

This was an interesting theory. The all round appraisal had reacted giving Walker a decent piece of information about how the Rize empire was able to make their elemental crystals and avoid heavy usage of mana gems which took more time to create.

"Gil, what do you think about using this to make an arrow? It's a purified wind crystal. It should work pretty well." Walker hadn't even heard Gil react before Zephyr showed herself and looked at the crystal with great interest. She seemed to want it more than Gil. "Nevermind, Zephyr can have it." Walker laughed a bit as he tossed it in to the air and small wind currents caught the purified wind crystal.

"We'll have to get a bunch of elemental crystals then since it seems they are useful." Gil watched happily as Zephyr stole away the mana from the crystal causing the crystal to show cracks. She was perfectly taking the mana faster than normal. "Get plenty!" That was all Zephyr could say after she had been resting for so long. But neither Gil nor Walker were upset. They knew that the grand elemental spirits required time to rest and absorb mana at all times.

"What else can you find?" The two left Zephyr with her new purified wind crystal. They already had decided to hold all the crystals they could get for the elemental spirits knowing that if they brought them to Genesis that they would be able to help the elemental spirits grow. But it would do more than that.

Genesis already had areas with higher densities of certain elemental manas. This was both due to the residents of other races and also because of the elemental spirits. If they were to use some purified elemental crystals to make them even better, it would help everyone. Not only those that study elemental mana but those that needed it to grow.

"We have some fabrics, some more books about monsters, and then there are these things." Gil was pointing out a  few different monster materials that Walker had not seen before. He wanted to use the all around appraisal on them but his eye had been caught by a few of the other items in another crate brought to them.

'Spatial essence crystal

This is a unique mana crystal that holds spatial essence. It is from an unknown plane of existence that is between most other elemental planes. It can be used to research space elemental mana but even more so used to create a teleportation array.

The magic needed to use a teleportation array requires special runes carved in both locations. The runes must be carved using these crystals so that the spatial mana is buried in the runes to be used later. Once the skill is activated the spatial essence will be used to call out spatial mana at a pure capacity. Most beings have trouble storing and holding spatial mana due to the rarity of the affinity and the lack of understanding.'

"Now this is interesting." Walker grinned as he found that the crate had things from the Fel empire. New things he had not seen before that all related to the outside forces the Rize empire did not look to learn about.

"That's space mana in there?" Gil heard what Walker had said but he was a little confused since he wasn't sure how it would all come together at the end of the day. He knew that Walker already had a spatial skill to store things so it made sense that Walker knew more.

"Pretty much the same as an elemental crystal. But since we have this here, it proves that there really is more than just an elemental cycle. The real question is how much and how many things are there? Are their time crystals? Death? Life? What else is there?" Gil felt that Walker was intentionally trying to melt his brain with theories. It wasn't fair.

"I could spend weeks trying to figure this all out." Walker shook his head and stored away the entire crate. He knew that he didn't have that time. The scouting teams had gone out and the archangels were finished with their conversations. They had spoken with their leaders and now they would be returning to speak with Walker again at any minute. Walker didn't have a second to give when it came to researching. It felt too unfair.

"So you have to wait. That's fine. It's fair that I have to wait to make arrows too." Gil nudged Walker and the two proceeded to get in to a small childish argument as Walker stored the rest away so that he could find the others. He knew that another conversation would be happening at any moment so he should be prepared.
