Chapter 2236: 2236. Dark Herb nting
Finding himself enjoying the progress being made, Walker had been moving around Genesis and preparing the areas they needed to clear for the potential mage towers which would connect to the main tower. His efforts in this had been revolving around magic and ensuring that those who worked on the project did not have any issues.
Out of everything that he had done so far, he was finding a great amount of calmness in nting the many herbs that would be rted to different elemental manas. It wasn''t just that the act was calming, it was that he could take a deeper look in to the flow of elemental manas around herbs.
He was basically meditating while he worked. Not that this was a bad thing. It was simr to what some unique mages did. Alma was one of them. She could only grow the nts she used forbat because she understood them at a deeper level. Hence how Walker Was
considering this job.
Right now, he had made his way in to the darkness dragon territory to nt herbs rted to dark mana. Some of which looked nothing like an herb with dark mana affinity at all. But that was nature. It changed and developed in unique ways giving birth to things a normal person couldn''t properly exin without researching for a great deal of time.
The herbs that rted to dark mana were normally very easy to spot. Specifically those with purple or ck colorations. But this one in his hands was deceptive. It appeared to bepletely white just like some of the light elemental herbs. Yet, it housed potent dark mana which caused a greater deal of decay than what most people would realize.
''White rot herb
This herb is a very unique form of dark affinity herb that only grows in deep caves. However, it can grow elsewhere with the proper care and consistent dark mana.
The decaying mana is so potent that it causes any nutrients absorbed to be pale and white due to the breaking down of colors. This means that it can also cause the discoloration of the soil and stone around it.
However, it surprisingly leaves behind very well fertilized soil due to the constant breaking down of materials within the soil. In turn, nts and herbs growing around it are muchrger.''
Walker didn''t even have to read the entire part of the all around appraisal. He was nting this herb because it had been selected to make this small herb garden. He could tell the value of the white rot herb.
It was already helping the concentration of dark mana. That and the curled trap nt which was a carnivorous nt that ate insects. The only downside was the chance of it bing a proper monster if left to grow out of control. However, there would be utmost care in this herb garden so the chances were very slim.
"I knew you would already be here today." The sound of Mordants'' voice wasn''t a surprise at all. Especially since Walker knew he had been working in the dark dragon area of the city.
Mordant had been working hard to bring in natural herbs and nts that attracted dark mana. He also had buildings and stone brought in resistant to dark mana so that there would be ces for others to stay. People without dark mana affinity would have afortable ce. This level of care proved a lot about Mordant''s goal with his territory. Especially with the fact that he was one of the first and most epting dragons of change when Walker had approached them. His eptance easily contributed to the other dragons adapting better. The same could be said for Current. Not that he had been very activetely. His had been a little more reclusive since his adaptation to bing a water dominator dragon had been a little slower. But that also had been good since he had brought together water elves, merfolk, and his water affinity dragonkin at the same time.
"I thought you woulde by at some point. You were a bit more interested in the mage tower expansion than I thought you would be." Trying to make a little conversation with Mordant was easy. Walker had always beenfortable around him. But as they were always so busy they hadn''t been able to speak much to one another.
"It''s very interesting. Ifmunication rune formations are mixed in around these small mage towers, then I expect life will be much easier." His focus onmunication meant that he was interested in whatever that would bring for the Royal dragons and their elders who like to spread out often.
"It will be even more interesting if there is a way to make it all work from here to the Sigil continent. One day maybe even in to the elemental nes. But that could be harder. Lots more dense mana to figure out."
The theory that Walker had was sound but the mana would be the struggle. He could only hope that as the manas became even more bnced that the runes would be able to manage through denser areas of mana. It was something that many of the rune research topics might
cover.
"If we manage tomunicate across all that water without needing to use a teleportation formation, I would be very d." Like many others, Mordant had taken an interest in the Sigil continent due to its somewhat unexplorednds.
While the unexplored aspect was due to the rough rtionship between the angels over the past years, it still was a fact. There were also herbs and monsters thought to be extinct there. It was enjoyable to explore and rediscover them. The dragons could vastly assist in this.
"I''m sure you heard the news about the rune formations being changed too. Plenty of potential." Walker noticed that Mordant was guiding dark mana around the herbs he had just nted. It would help them take root without issues.
"I was more interested in the changes with herbs. That little red and ck here bing a vibrant purple under the influence of my mana is astounding. I would have never imagined there were nts that changed due to those races not eating them as often. Or not growing them."
To be fair, this was a big deal since there were herbs that tied deeply in to what race was around them or eating them. The simple fact that they had been in a somewhat dormant form was considered amazing enough.
"The next hatchlings born may have a chance to be stronger sooner because of them. There is also the increasing mana density. I would never have imagined I would see things like this in my lifetime."
While anyone else would see this as something very unusual to say for such a long lived race like the dragons, Walker understood. The dragons were set in their ways but upon breaking them, they had broken their perceptions of the world. Even aspects of it that they hadn''t realized they set in stone in their minds had been changed.
With Mordants'' help, Walker found that the ck venom grass, ebony root, and circling vines all began to grow within minutes of nting. It wasn''t the same as an herbalist or farmer, but these herbs had all been found to enjoy higher dark mana environments. Along with attracting dark mana more often.
They could both sense the dark mana getting denser in the area of the dark herb garden. It would cause more of the spirit race to gather here naturally. But it would also allow the spirit race to be born from the denser dark mana which would mean a higher chance of a natural dark rune appearing.
If everything went as nned, there would be arge focus on this project as the first small mage towers were built within the herb gardens.
They would house elemental mana knowledge. That would allow there to be better ess to knowledge in that area where that mana was more concentrated. Also, the additional fact that teleportation formations would be around the more popr mage towers.
Some people were even considering how the mage towers could expand in to the wilderness. It might create specific areas for monsters to live with focused manas but also allow for
rescue points.
Someone could go to them if there was unexpected trouble while they were outside of the
city. Using the rune formations tomunicate their need for assistance or to even teleport themselves would be life saving.
It could change the risk levels of adventurers as a whole. Not to mention travelers and merchants. They would have a higher level of safety than they ever had before. It would take years to achieve, however, the efforts were never going to be a waste.
