Chapter 2128. Even More Changes


    While Walker had begun tio prepare to head back toward the ind where they had fought the demon lord, he realized that he should check up on a few things before he headed out. He knew that the wandering cksmith had begun to get called on more and more even though he had been dragged in to another one of his hyper focused moments. He had been focused on what Walker had brought to him again, but he had also begun to get caught up by more of the changes around the city. Specifically, the changes in manas. The stronger manas had resonated with other materials that had been rare or had seemingly been useless. This was also just part of the natural changes that the world underwent as it fell in to the flow it was meant to have. There were some pieces of iron that had appeared to be normal iron. It had just been held up as slightly off color or slightly heavier. Now, it has been found out that it had unique blends of elemental manas that caused it to change the properties of what was made with it. Someone had brought in a dagger that had a unique aspect of darkness mana in it. The wandering cksmith had just so happened to be within the crafting guild when he saw it. Walker was listening to this story as he wandered through the crafting guild towards arge experimental forge room where such items had been bought or temporarily borrowed to make a proper appraisal of them. "Sp they are calling it shadow iron. It''s going to change the name of a few lesser quality materials that had darkness affinity. But they are saying that shadow is just another form of darkness affinity but also rted to light mana a little. There are different manas or affinities now! They are fused and stuff! I can''t wait until I can work with them." Walker looked at the young boy who was rambling on. He was working at the front desk of the crafting guild. It reminded Walker of a simr boy who had worked the front desk in Diamond when he had just got to the forge for the first time. So much has changed. "There you are, why have you not been here. Too much ising in. too many new things to document. We ran out of appraisal scrolls hours ago." The wandering cksmith was clearly sleep deprived, but still able to go. Around the room, there were master cksmiths, master wood cutters, master potters, master everything. Ten of them were either asleep on tables, partially awake but too tired to function, or just t out mumbling to themselves while trying to examine something. "I had to handle the nning to travel to the elemental nes. But now I think I might be held up with what you are discovering here. If it''s not just materials, that means people will be born with dual affinities that create unique affinities. The mixing of mana creating branch affinities. I can''t imagine what it will mean for the future." As far as Walker could see, he should just ept all of this right away. If he didn''t, then he would struggle to do itter. This was a major discovery that could show off many of the greatest aspects of the future. How Genes and every race would need to adapt and change even more while growing. "Look at this one." the wandering cksmith was being exceptionally vocal due to all the new things he had been learning. Naturally, this was just a part of who he was. When he began to be focused on something new in the forging field, he would jump on it. He would ensure that he was able to learn it and use it. ''ss war hammer


    This is a unique war hammer that has awakened the ss affinity after the unique material yellow earth sand was melted down to make it. The crystal effect made it appear that it was a unique showcase item. However, when the world returned to natural flow, the earth and light effects that it absorbed caused it to refract light elemental mana and begin channeling it. While it is somewhat resistant to fire, it is strongly able to channel light elemental mana as long as the mana is used immediately in a swing or action. Because of this, the brittleness of the weapon is a worry. But that is only if earth mana is also not channeled within it. Having a ss affinity is extremely rare, but those who can fuse earth and light together might naturally be able to create ss out of sands without the need for fire mana or forging of any form needed. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    This hammer can also slightly purify the user of the hammer with the light mana that naturally flows though it from the sun…''


    "Two elemental manas forming a sub elemental mana. ss. Did you ever think that ss would be a form of affinity or a form of fused mana?" the wandering cksmith was beside himself with this. If the fused manas meant something like this could be considered a stand alone affinity, then that meant that more unique things could be forged. It would change the world the more that they appeared. The more that everyone with any ability to create or raft experimented. "It could mean that we have a lot more to learn about manas now. They are better fusing together with allowed bnce. Therefore, it means that these affinities can exist within someone''s body now. That''s my theory just based on this. It said that the materials within awakened the affinity. So, that means that there are more dormant aspects of the world now than before." "It also means that there are those born with pure elemental affinities that might have a better chance to do certain tasks. Naturally these dual elemental affinities or fused elemental affinities will also have their chances."


    This thought brought Walker another. That if someone with wind and fire dual affinities did something like ix the manas, would it be the same as someone who had an affinity that utilized both manas? Or would that sub mana affinity take precedence and the dual affinity person would be different? "If someone has a weaker water affinity and a strong earth affinity, maybe they will end up with a mud affinity. But someone with equal water and equal earth affinity would end up with dual affinities." His idea brought a few of the sleeping masters back to the waking world. They had been somewhat listening. As was the nature of a super tired master. Somewhat asleep but still focusing on the task at hand. The more that Walker began providing them with the appraisals, the more that they all realized that this information needed to be spread. Hence, multiple apprentices had been called in. the students that would be recording the findings and bringing them everywhere through the city. What none of them realized, was that they had just begun to scratch the surface. Multiple herbs, monsters, and other aspects of the world had taken on these unique forms of mana. They were appearing more fused in the wilderness because of the proper flow returning. "I really feel like this is going to make a lot of people jump to explore." Walker said this as he watched the many students copying the descriptions head helped record down. His sudden visit had really changed what he had been expecting for the wandering cksmith''s opinions on various things. The air ship building ns had been approved to move to another step because they had developed some lighter alloys to use. They were even talking about using them to rece some of the flying gear golems already created by the dwarves. Creating metal alloys with natural mana affinity was also greatly on the table. The many metals that they had begun using right now might have the smaller bnces of fused elemental manas. Hence, they could be sued to better understand what might be needed to make a perfectly bnced natural mana affinity ingot. Furthermore, it meant that when children were born, there would be a need for testing the innate affinities of that child. Everyone was often born with them, but testing was not important to many since they had no idea what would have awakened their system. Things were different now. There was a way to know where someone was going with their ss. If someone had a shadow ss,they could begin learning about darkness and light manas. That knowledge would allow them to move toward getting a ss better suited for who they were as a whole. Many different aspects of teaching would have to change too. Walker was pretty excited about it. The world he knew was new again.
