Chapter 1961 1961. Too Many Appraisals
?
The return of Ventus had caused even more stirs in Genesis than before. But with everyone knowing that there was a war preparation happening, it just further caused them to become more dedicated.
Walker had spent some time meeting the elder wind dragons along with assisting some of their hatchlings that wanted to come in to the city. Because the elders were untrustworthy of Genesis, Walker took the role of guardian while they explored alongside Midnight. The elders knew he was also a royal dragon and highly respected his strength.
While it was clear that Ventus had taught the wind dragons more compassion than they had in her childhood or compared to the other dragons, it was still hard for them to just open up to everyone.
However, with the fact that some of them could take dragonkin form really helped. They were able to walk the streets quickly and explore alongside Walker and Ventus. They were amazed by what they saw and the many unfamiliar sights. It was enough to make Walker more comfortable as well since he feared they would struggle to adapt.
Overall, this led to a long day and night before Walker and Midnight were able to rest. Not that they were able to rest for long since Walker had promised he would move back toward the wandering blacksmith to help him. He also didn't bother to bring Midnight for her dragon flames. He had managed to understand even more about natural mana and other manas. Therefore, he could easily replicate dragon flames that the wandering blacksmith might learn to use.
What Walker found when he got there was a different story. The sounds of forging were non existent. But the entire forge was filled with materials. Cut open, broken, purified, anyone could name the numeral techniques used to prepare the materials that the wandering blacksmith needed.
So many of the basic monster parts had been broken down. Some feathers had been cut away so that the soft parts could be used to fuel the flames. This would add unique characteristics to the metals that naturally developed smaller pores compared to other metals where they would be completely solid.
Then some monster bones had the bones scraped off the marrow. This was to add to certain ores to increase toughness or to cooling agents used to solidify the strength of the metals. It was a unique process that had to be done in a specific way. Things that Walker was clueless about since he lacked the high skills and knowledge of a such a blacksmith.
From that, Walker also learned that some of the different crystals and ores were already being heated or used. What he was surprised over were the materials clearly sent by the angels. They were in small crates that had been organized by elemental affinity and usage. It was enough to make Walker understand that the angels had not just destroyed or thrown away what they did not understand.
While the two sides of the angels had been at war with one another, in reality or mentality, they did not ignore the others' side completely. This was clear in the elemental and other mana affinity materials.
The elemental materials had been held on to and were powerful. Some of the crystals were purer than others. While there were even a few metals in one crate that had some spatial mana within it. Walker could even sense a free life mana crystals that had clearly been harder to work with and were not even able to be sued by the angels since life mana was a tough thing to influence regardless.
This was clearly why when Walker noticed the wandering blacksmith, he was on the floor with over twenty different blue print ideas surrounding him. He even had a space mana crystal and a life mana crystal in his hands. His eyes fully focused on understanding just how they worked. Just how he might be able to shape them and give the mana and forms to what he wanted to create.
"I expected that you would have ended up like this." Walker looked at the wandering blacksmith who was somewhat startled by his appearance. Walker normally would have not been a surprise. But this just showed how deeply the wandering blacksmith was thinking.
"Annoying manas. They do not conform to the shapes I desire." The wandering blacksmith did not say much, but it was just what he expected.
This man had traveled to many unique places. He had created and learned many different forging methods. He had forged for dragons before they even were part of Genesis. He had lived a long life that had brought him in touch with things than many would not have had the chance to even see, let alone forge with. Yet now, he was stuck. For the first time since he had just begun to forge, he was stuck.
"The space mana and the life mana in that are very hard to control. We already had to use natural mana and elemental manas to make the space runes work. They were missing the proper flow but some studies found was to guide it to a degree. We almost have a full space rune created. Not that I think it's even needed. The space runes are somewhat naturally occurring maybe."
Sharing this and a little More, Walker knew might help the wandering blacksmith. Especially since he might not be hearing what else is going on while he locked himself up in his forge to study.
"Then the life mana is harder to manipulate since it is matched with death mana. Two larger manas that are unknown and very tough to touch upon regardless. I haven't found many that can manipulate either. Just some that can use it for healing or eradicating weeds and such."
While this was true, Walker found himself thinking about the life mages who were just slightly stronger healers. Then to the undertakers that dealt with death mana to help return bodies to the earth. It was a system that many thought evil until they learned more about it. Not that they knew, it was just a way to help the manas within the body leave it and return to nature. A very interesting way for manas to flow. But that did not mean that these people controlled death mana at all. Just touched upon it.
"But, I came back because I thought you might want to improve the eternal orb. It is full of natural mana that Felur and I provided it with. Since the elemental spirits are now the spirit race, we might be able to have more influence on the manas that go in to the eternal orn. Maybe an improvement with life, death, space, and whatever other manas we have materials for."
This made the wandering blacksmith's head snap up. He had been stuck on what to do with all these troublesome and mysterious materials. He was sure that experimenting with them would lead to a high amount of list materials. That was just the reality of anyone trying to learn something new.
But since he and Walker could appraise these materials and learn more, especially Walker who could gather unique information from his all around appraisal, then they might have something here. He felt that his gut instincts were telling him to take this leap. But he also trusted that Walker would be that key factor as before that would allow him to make major breakthroughs.
"Su's dragon guardian armor has been completed. Adjusted knuckles are nearly finished soaking before forging, and other improved daggers and arrow heads were made." The wandering blacksmith pointed out completed or nearly finished things he had promised before pushing forward; it was just an honest proof that he had been working.
Walker saw the armor and held himself back. He wanted to wait and see Su wear it before appraising it. But the multiple metal knuckles that Remey could use were soaking in a bath of liquid that Walker could not grasp. His appraisal of it was tougher to understand but he would try again after he glanced around the room.
It wasn't that he was too ignorant for forging techniques. It was just that the amount of information he was getting by using the all around appraisal took his mind some time to process. Many of the materials were things she had seen once or not seen at all. The same for some of the new items that the wandering blacksmith had made while he had experimented with a few of the more numerous materials.
The number of all around appraisals that Walker had would be enough to overwhelm many. Therefore, he had to take it slow for the moment as the wandering blacksmith took the eternal orb and began to prepare himself.
