Chapter 2362: 2362. Seeing The Changes
When the group left, Walker knew that Clara had also made a few other plans. He didn't say a word about it, but there was more than just the group he had gotten together leaving.
He used his mana sense to check the surroundings constantly. Whether he was in the city or outside of it. This was just something he did even without thinking now. More of a passive aspect of his skills rather than an active one at this point. It was all just him being prepared and also partially at his second sight now.
He could sense multiple people hiding themselves, or at least trying to. It only took him a second to realize that Clara had the assassin trainees who were trying to join and improve themselves within the adventurer's guild attempt to remain hidden around their group the entire way.
A hidden set of guards who would be trained to be able to guard the most promising up and coming adventurers. Walker had been the same when he and his group had joined. Even the king of the human kingdom had sent a few hidden guards to watch them. They had hidden in his shadow at one point. Not that he needed them now.
But having them guard Walker's group was a clear example of who they could learn. Walker could intentionally change the mana or make it harder for them to hide. Therefore, pushing them to improve faster and generally more efficiently than what they would improve just by staying within genesis and training.
There was also the aspect that they would be encountering monsters as well while they were hiding. Could they silently handle monsters that found them rather than attacking the group out in the open? Would they even be able to handle some of the monsters out in the wilderness that they encountered?
The nice part was that Walker would also be acting as a guard for those playing at being guards. Part of him also felt it was comedic that there were assassins in the world who acted as guards. Their stealth skills become something more protective rather than violent or killing. He didn't dislike that though, it was a good thing.
This was not the only group he had caught wind of. He had narrowly sensed the group of scouts gathering when he was leaving through the first gate. He could sense them because they did not try to hide at all. Also, because a fair number of tamers were with them. They had monsters that would help them scout out their targets.
From what Walker could gather, the scouts were the least experienced and would also be guarded by a small group of hidden adventurers. They were most likely following and trying to keep a distance to document travels. This would be training for them to be able to track the new changes in how some pack monsters moved.
This would be even more useful as time went on since many of the monster territories known before were changing. Not only that, but some monsters might expand the territories that they occupied. Making the roads being rebuilt and expanded useless to people if they could not travel through them due to monsters.
The adventurers having this information would be invaluable since they would be escorting merchants. As such, when the adventurers used the adventurer's guild to prepare for their quest, the guild would supply this information as long as it was asked for. Or a guild adventurer team manager would give it to them as preparation anyways. Both ways meant that the quest would be more successful.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
This led to strange rotting or growing of crops where they should not be. The fact that they were the most prevalent pest right now was very telling.
There were not enough means to deal with them even though there were many farmers and guards. So, either the adventurers guild could be requested to assist or the taming guild. The adventurers could hunt them and that would be that. But the tamers guild could use the harvesting mice as food for some of their tamed monsters.
He knew he could make this an important piece of paperwork later. For the moment though, he watched Alice also looking around and sporting the pests. She seemed to be amused by the young adventurers missing them when they were right in front of their group.
She hadn't been through adventuring before learning To heal. So this was a first in some ways for her. Not that she was sprinted. But going through these motions would help sharpen her own senses for the future.
"Have you spotted them too? I bet I will find more than you before we get outside of the farms." Walker teased a bit while starting to count.
