Master of none - Chapter 2287: Barry’s Conditions

“That’s three new races joining in such a short time. Four if you count the separate types of wyverns which were just brought in.”

Barry had been away and was completely awestruck by the things he was hearing.

Multiple new races brought in, some which were monsters and still needed to hatch and

Develop but were already being called a race since it was a higher chance that it would happen anyways.

Beyond that, he couldn’t even begin to grasp what might have happened with building and technology. Forget magic too.

“I know it’s a lot to take in, but we also just heard about some of it from Walker. It is a lot.”

Su was keeping herself and the others who had managed to call Barry here to the Genesis building calm.

“We know you want to talk to Walker too.

But you can go bother him later. First Su is in need of your skills for another quest.

This time it’s for more than just the city of Genesis, it’s for the entire alliance.” Remey had stuck right by Su’s side over the last few days.

She didn’t want to see Su leave without the best of the best to make sure she would be able to handle whatever these changing wilderness areas were. Or what the dense manas, potential naturally forming runes were, and whatever else it was which was out there.

‘

She had easily raided her own potion storage to ensure that Su had multiple healing, mana, and other potions necessary for basic safety when traveling throughout the unknown. Beyond that, Remey had dragged Su to get her armor repaired along with her shields being touched up as well.

The wandering blacksmith had been dedicated to researching some materials that Gil had managed to bring back, but with Remey’s slightly more violent threats, he had accepted to go over the armor. Not that this had been enough, Remey just told herself it had been.

Realistically, Su had made a promise that any new materials she discovered would go to him before anyone else. Whether or not they were small or large, they had first choice to the wandering blacksmith rather than the entirety of the crafting guild.

A small but fair cost since the odds that the wandering blacksmith would discover unique and interesting aspects of those potential materials was higher than the crafting guild would. At the very least, he could discover those things much faster.

It was just a gap in experiences. The wandering blacksmith had so much knowledge that an entire library could be built with it, and then some.

“A quest? So there was one already issued? Or is this one from the adventurer’s guild after being sent from the Genesis building?” Barry wasn’t sure who and where the quest was coming from. He didn’t think that Su and Remey would have called him here just to mess with him on a small time quest.

But he was somewhat excited to have some free time.

To be fair, Clara had been working very hard as the head of the adventurer’s guild.

She had been within Genesis and making sure that multiple sub heads were created for every single new building within every single city or kingdom. Even some small towns had been given the chance to form small guild halls so that adventurers could get local quests while traveling.

Whoever, it was Barry who had taken such a large amount of work on to himself and given to himself. He was sure that he had earned himself a proper rest.

Or at least a choice to do as he wished for a little while. Not that he would be able to do so for long with the fact that he was fairly high leveled and was never really used to sitting and doing nothing.

“I am leading an investigation in the mirrored hills region. A small expanse of fields with identical hills and odd misty phenomenon in the morning and evening.

There are also unknown monsters which need to be appraised along with a potential naturally forming rune or what we are calling a false ruins, some have been calling them monster dens though. It’s hard to understand what they are.

”

“How far and how long.” The switch to an even more serious tone made it clear that Barry was going to give this a fair and responsible chance.

Not that either Su or Remey believed he would just flat out turn them down.

“I believe it will take a month.

We can travel there with help within just a few hours. It’s between the demi-human kingdom and here.

The fields should have been wide open but as the mana returned and the world adjusted this area appeared.” Remey even pulled out a map to showcase the area which was thought to have been just fields before.

The adjusted maps were hard to keep up with since so many new places had been discovered lately.

“The risks are unknown.

The size of the area is known. The monsters there are unknown.

There may be some sort of magical place within this area completely unknown but also reflected in other areas of the world. But it could be a massive pool of resources to help every single kingdom of the alliance grow.

”

It was a pretty blunt assessment but a fair one. Especially since this was just the reality that they were dealing with right now.

Besides all this, there was the chance that Barry could help guide the future of these unexplored wilderness areas. Whether it was protecting or defending from them at the end of the day.

“We can even assure you that you will be paid too. You will be primarily functioning as a bodyguard for Su.

She doesn’t need one, but having someone strong like you to make sure she keeps her focus on survival in bad situations is important.” Since Rmeey was saying this, Barry understood it was just Su going.

When it came to survival, Barry was a good person to have in mind. Since he had been a soldier, then begun adventuring for many years, he had a wealth of education in wilderness survival.

It was best to have him around even if he was the weakest person in the group. Not that he would be.

“Payment is the least of my worries right now. I have personal plans to handle in three months.

I would like your guarantee that you and the rest of your party will attend to those planks when they come to fruition.”

This didn’t sound like much of an odd request.

Right now Remey and Su were recruiting Barry to help them so it would be fair that they helped him later. Especially since they had the strength and the know how to do so.

“I want to say yes, but it might be hard depending on what you need help with. If it takes the entire party, it might be difficult?”

Su was more asking if the task that Barry needed help with was dangerous or at least required a greater deal of strength.

It would make a lot of sense that the entire party together was very powerful, but an issue that needed that sort of strength? It would have to be major and Remey nor Su, had heard of such issues recently.

“Well, I would not force you all to wear anything different than what you would wish.

But you may need time to prepare as well. I am getting married to the love of my life whom I met while training the other angels within the Sigil continent.”

both Su and Remey coughed trying to keep their minds intact.

This was incredibly unexpected.

To be honest, Remey had expected that Scylla would have swooped in to steal Barry away since she had a tendency to enjoy people of strength. She could even try to use her position as general.

But then again, Scylla might not have done anything of the sort since she had the solid loyalty under the demi-human kingdom and lived to ensure their future as well.

“I can introduce you two.

She was fighting before the others I had trained had ever been fighting. She also helped establish seventeen small angel villages against the orders of both empires when they were in their stalemate.

Honestly, she might be able to beat me in a fight.” Now this was another unexpected and shocking comment.

“Stronger than you? Now that I need to see. Is she here or the Sigil continent? I want to meet her.”

Remey was overcome with the desire to test this theory about how strong this woman

Was.

“She will come here in three months after establishing three more villages.” Barry just smiled, breaking apart the serious essence of the conversation and even making Su wonder what they had been talking about prior to this.
