Chapter 2317: 2317. Unmoving Clouds And Runes
Knowing that so much was going on, Walker felt that he couldn't be in enough places at once. Just returning from the volcano was hard to do since so many things could still be monitored there.
The fall of ash and smoke were still an issue, even though it had become somewhat constant now and did not encompass a larger area than the lava fields. It was still worrying since it was an erupting volcano though.
He also knew that he could easily be someone appraising the many unknown materials being found. The volcano was sending plenty of them out in to the wilderness when it erupted. Sending more than just molten stone around.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
That also presented a danger to those who had begun to rush there for material gathering. They could claim that they would be safe all that they wanted. However, Walker would still question it since even he would take some damage from the potency of molten rock and ores. If he didn't, he might be a little worried about himself still.
Regardless of all this, he still had other responsibilities. He had helped get Rise back to Genesis where she was slumbering within her territory. She had definitely overextended her body and according to the other dragons, she may sleep for months or a year at the worst. When she woke up though, there was a high chance she would be much stronger. Both Ignus and Ventus had sensed a uniqueness in the light mana and the way she manipulated it. Proving to them that she most likely understood some new aspects of light mana she had not grasped before. She could have also just stepped forward on her path of being a light dominator dragon, which was also a very good thing.
Luckily, Ventus and Ignus were still very functional. Ventus was tired, but she could just do with some rest to absorb wind mana again. Ignus, on the other hand, had a lot more energy. He focused on how he had struggled to control fire mana that the volcanic horror had taken control of.
One of the reasons that Walker was so focused on them was simply because he wished to bring the royal dragons to explore the unmoving clouds within the Sigil continent. Ventus in particular would be important since most clouds would need to move along with wind currents. She could have a good point of view in this matter. But she might be feeling too weak right now.
Then there was Current. He could have valuable views on the way that water mana within the cloud was acting. Why it might not be raining or why it might be growing. He could also look at the way that nearby waters were affected by this. If there was no rain at all or the natural flow of water was off, he would know right away.
Besides those two, Ignus might also be able to help. For water to evaporate, heat was needed. Meaning fire mana played a part in the light which came from the sky. If there was not enough fire mana, then there might be an issue of the cloud growing as it should. Or the opposite, too much was somehow causing the cloud to grow.
Either way, all three could give some perspective on what was actually happening. If Walker could be the one that gathered all the information, then they may be able to get a clearer picture overall.
If it was a location where a bridge to the elemental planes had once been, then that would be another location they could monitor. However, if it was monsters or worse, then they would need to call on everyone sooner than later.
"Walker, here's the report you requested." The assistant who brought the report had been in contact with the floating city right next to the unmoving cloud. This update may change his plans altogether.
"I doubt that the two are connected in any way, but knowing that there are other discoveries on the Sigil continent is very important." Walker mumbled this out loud while he contemplated his next move. He desperately wanted to see this naturally forming water rune while he was on the continent after dealing with the unmoving cloud.
He also knew that Current would wish to stop there too. Especially since he might be able to learn something important from the naturally formed water rune. Current was a water dominator dragon after all.
This would be a lot to do while they had to also focus on the changes between every kingdom in terms of defenses. The village would need to be protected as well along with laws or rules about how to interact with the naturally formed rune.
Expanding the mage tower project to the Sigil continent was still well in to the future. Using natural rune to make that happen was also well outside of what could be done right now. The mana needed to keep a connection to one of the smaller magic towers would be too high to be kept right now. They needed to advance their knowledge and understanding much more.
This led Walker to the decision that they should prepare another elemental rune teleportation formation there. Allow for those who could commune with the rune but not those who would build around it. Allow for a grace period where only research related to the flow of mana around it would be allowed instead of any research that would interfere.
That way, everything would remain the same until enough knowledge and advancement were
made. That way, the rune and the village would not suffer.
He had his goals and now he had to put them in motion.
