Master of none - Chapter 2255: Peaceful Breeze

Listening to people as they moved on from the showcase of the prototype floating boat, Walker knew it was more than just a success. It had blown them away.

The dwarven golems had always been amazing. They could protect a dwarf and allow travel in to underwater caves.

They could be made lightweight and glide while some of the monster inspired could fly now. And they were incredibly tough if they needed to be.

Ever since the spirits had begun assisting them, the dwarven golems had begun to change much faster too. They had been able to contain more mana while also using more mana.

Making their movements and mana flows more fluid all around.

Then the other races being involved inspired new designs while also changing the existing designs to become more effective.

That wasn’t even considering the changes that came from the materials that the dwarves had never had access to before.

All in all, the changes in the golem aspect of dwarven culture was completely unprecedented.

It was a lot to keep up with and anyone learning the trade would find himself overwhelmed right now. It would take quite a few more years to ensure that there was a proper golem master builder born.

That was a good thing though. The longer they refined their skills, the better the quality that would be produced in the end.

Hence why so many people were not unhappy with the slow progress of building the large floating ship.

Everyone now knew what they should expect but in larger size.

Along with this, they also saw the benefits that would come from having such vehicles of transportation. Especially the dragons who had worries about their elders who could not take a more humanoid form.

What if they were injured? How could anyone fit a full sized dragon on an elemental rune teleportation formation? The answer was that they couldn’t. The dragons were too large.

So were some of the monster races that might grow in the future or be discovered later. Not to mention the serpents.

The abyssal and heavenly serpents also could grow very large without the ability to use the teleportation formations.

But even better were the ideas that healers could use the ship as a moving cathedral.

A perfect idea. But more came from it.

Different races spoke of different things. Whether it was mapping a larger forest just found, identifying potential new caves, or just generally exploring the oceans from above.

All of this was a new potential because of the floating ship. frёeweovel.

Walker himself wanted to try flying it. Getting skills to fly a flying boat or ship would be pretty amazing.

However, he had to hold off and be a little more serious. He was currently watching as Ventus came to him alone.

“I thought you would be too busy right now.”

She nodded to him but then looked back where the true wind sage had been a moment ago.

“I was asked if there was a chance that the true wind sage could return when it was time for the proper flying ship to take to the air. He wishes to see it and understand how it is possible.

”

Knowing that the true wind sage had been hooked in to investing in Genesis, Walker negan to step in to the air toward where he saw him.

“Why not take a closer look? I have a feeling that one day we will have similar ships that can traverse the elemental planes.

With the help of unique beings like yourself, that day could come sooner.”

“I know you are just saying that because you wish to make me an ally.

I already am though.” The true wind sage was speaking softly.

It reminded Walker of the slightest of breezes through a field. Just the whispers of grass barely nudging one another.

Just enough to understand that nature itself might be speaking.

“The way the wind flows here is calm.

Even when it becomes chaotic, there is vibrance and joy within it. I can not maintain myself here for long.

The wind elemental plane is shifting. I can travel outside of it though.

When the time comes, I will visit with my proper form. Until the next time origin child.

Guardian of the world.”

The title made Walker wonder if this was what he was being called by the other sages.

Or was it the elemental kings saying this? Was he really known as a guardian of the world? Was this because he was the only origin benign here and was literally born in the world to become an origin being?

Before he could fully grasp where his mind was going, Ventus was gone as well. She had already made the plans to stop nearby the curse users that she had gathered.

Walker could also recall the curses that she would undergo.

A curse to seal away her dragon form.

Preventing her from taking on an anchoring role within the elemental planes and causing a break in balance. A curse that sealed half of her mana affinity, stopping her from drawing on large amounts of wind mana at once.

The greatest curse that would take all of the curse users mana and be sealed using a curse rune, a weakening curse. So potent and harsh that she would only be able to move under her own power with significant mental fortitude.

For any dragon, being made that weak would be considered dishonorable and pathetic. An insult to all that dragons were.

Yet, for Ventus, it was a necessary price to pay so that she would be able to learn more. To grow herself in a way she had never attempted to grow.

All that she learned while she was away with Gil, Zephyr, and the true wind sage would come together to change the very way she acted.

“They are gone now, aren’t they?” of all the voices that Walker expected to hear as he touched the ground again, it wasn’t Terron’s voice that he expected to hear, yet it was.

“They are, Ventus is taking a large risk to ensure that she learns more about dragon history spo that both the wind dragons and all dragons can understand things. She might even be able to find out if some of the dragons who were once royals made it to the elemental planes at all.

”

This was a major reason that every dragon wished to go to the elemental planes. Mordant in particular desired to so because of the various dark s that had delved in to the deepest of shadows and right in to the chaos between elemental planes.

Attempts to reach the dark elemental planes were frequent for those powerful dark dragons, or those foolish enough to try it.

“I know that, it’s why we will be preparing her territory with whatever is needed.

I have gone to gather some wind affinity ores to be crafted in to statues of the past wind dragons. Weall desire them to be made for each of our territories just as they are where our court rests.

Moving those statues is not right, this would be.”

“Do the dragons need help in this matter?” Now Walker knew what Terron was getting at and why he had waited for Walker to come back instead of leaving as the others had done.

Minus a few of the other representatives who were busy speaking and asking plenty of questions.

“As the current royal nature dragon, you are expected to be part of this effort.”

Terron showed a rare smirk as he looked toward where Ventus’s wind dragon territory was.

“Then I guess I will need to put in a little extra work.

Anything else you need while you are making a rare appearance above ground?” This was just a politeness, but Walker also understood that the underground portion of Genesis was taking shape at a rapid rate. Many of the dwarven architects who had been part of maintaining an underground city older than they were had finally been let loose.

All their improvement ideas which had stagnated for generations finally had a place to go. Instead of just building a city, they were building their

Utopia of sorts.

Not that it would be perfect on the first try, but to them, it was quickly becoming their second city improved compared to their older city. Every issue that they remembered had been fixed or changed to suit them.

It was just a matter of time before there was a time that they could

Show off even more.

“Actually, we have some issues with ore and rock eating parasites.

We could use someone with a little more focus to handle it at its core.” Now this was new to Walker.

He’d never heard of parasites that ate ore or rock.
