Chapter 2404: 2404. Nature Viewing
"I feel like there's too much going on in my head right now." Walker was sitting behind the Genesis building keeping an eye on Gil. he didn't want to risk the fact that Gil was not a mage and was channeling the manas through him.
While Gil could manipulate the manas because he could make them in to arrows and whatnot, it was still something that was outside of his normal comfort zone. It was a risky task when it came to the amount of mana that his body needed to handle to be able to ensure that the tree of unity's roots grew properly and were not damaged.
While this seemed to be something that many people would overlook, it was an important aspect of this entire process. The roots were uniting every single elemental tree which meant that if they were damaged in any way, the balance could be broken.
That meant that the natural mana would not be completed and given to the entirety of Genesis and the outside territories.
That means that there would be a backlash in the manas which could ruin the entirety of Genesis. Rune formations, people, and anything else that had any sensitivity for mana, even in the slightest.
It meant that all the effort and emotion that went in to building all of this would be little to nothing.
No one would let that happen, But Gil was perfectly allowing the manas to flow through him. Walker didn't know if it was the high elven blood doing the work by instincts that Gil had been getting closer and closer with, or that Gil had reached a level of mana manipulation as an arcane archer that made both his own bows and how own arrows that others would only wish to reach.
Whatever the case was, Walker actually felt a little useless watching all of this.
"Walker, I need you to go check on each element tree. Make sure that they are growing smoothly. I can sense that they are all worried about the tree of unity since they are not strongly in connection with it just yet. I can feel their emotions. The spirit trees are emotional."
He didn't say this in a loud or commanding voice. It was barely a whisper. Walker could hear it clearly though. He could hear every single word and knew very well that Gil was asking because this was important to him.
"I will go and look at them. The spirit trees are deeply connected with the elves and they have lived with them since the elves were born as a race. I know that they aren't just simple plants. They can bind with an elf for life and even hold the memories and what might be souls of the elves. We've seen it and I can't say I don't believe that this is more important than anything else right now. Just relax and keep yourself from getting in to trouble." He couldn't leave without teasing Gil a little.
Normally it was Walker who did some reckless things. This time it was Gil taking a bit of a risk to do something out of his normal archery or scouting. Walker would have even preferred that Gil was back to trying to sneak out of some work than sit here under so much pressure.
Standing up and stepping in tot he air, Walker wondered how the elemental trees could still be called young. They seemed way too tall for a simple word as young to be the reason. They had been given a large amount of care and nutrients.
The skills used to help them had take a great amount of mana saved up by unique class holders. This would have drained the land and harmed everything but instead had not taken. Any toll at all. That was simply because of the effort put in to ensure that nutrients was given in perfect measure.
The purer manas around Genesis also allowed for this to be possible. The spirit trees were able to grow fuller from their guided sapling stages without being chained back by anything that might be lacking.
"Hmm, the fire elemental spirit tree is red leafed and almost radiating sparks from its bark." The first tree Walker liked at felt more like a tree made of cooling magma than anything. But the fire mana radiated from it was calm and stable.
As soon as his mana senses reached out, it shivered slightly showing the depths of mana and the care given to it. While not wise, the trees could tell the intention behind Walker's probing.
This was why he didn't flinch when more mana spilled out and those below watching it by the roots cheered. It was simple enough to remove some of the added stress as the trees felt how Walker was there keeping watch over Gil and all the trees.
The water tree was much the same. Some buds hadn't even begun to unfurl in to new leaves until Wlakerbhad reached out with his mana sense. The stress relieved from feeling a new connection with someone deeply bound to mana as well was what it needed.
The wind tree had uniquely thin and almost sharp leaves that fluttered around constantly. As Walker touched upon it he saw them all stop moving and gently float about instead. Less growth and more of a natural calming for flowing wind manas.
The earth tree was the most unusual. While a spirit tree still grew tall and made a decent mana flow, the mana was slower and harsher. It showed the rigidness of stone along with the clear strength in it. The leaves were a pale brown but didn't bend or break as mana moved through them. Almost like the fire spirit tree but cooled completely.
The light tree radiated a slight sparkle of white and even some rainbow around it. The pure white bark seemed to dazzle those watching it. It was also somewhat purifying the air around it making it easier to breathe and attracting those with older bodies that could use a little help.
This was different when Walker got it the dark elemental spirit tree. It cast long wavy shadows making it feel that it was almost impossible to actually touch. But Walker felt that under the obsidian black bark the mana was steady and cool. It had the ability to decay but instead balanced the light around to dim the area.
This dark elemental spirit tree had sensed the others through the loose connection and begun to adapt as well. It was strange that they communicated like living beings but were still plants at the end of the day.
Part of Walker felt that they could not influence them since they were able to move themselves under their own will. He also felt he could somewhat grasp what they needed.
A little water to one. A little more of a breeze to another. The desire for more soil around its base even shot through his mind. All these connections to the spirit trees and what Gil was feeling right now.
'The skill plant communion has been taken from the master farmer class.
Plant communion (passive)
You have an innate sense of understanding for what a plant needs. While you are not a master farmer and can not directly communicate with plants, you are able to grasp their needs by matching their mana and sharing your mana with them.
This will allow the ability to better guide your mana in relation to all plants. It also allowed for farming related skills to be more effective due to the understanding of what a plant
needs...'
Feeling that he could understand these flashes of thoughts, Walker smiled while reading the skill. It was very useful for when he tried to help with herbs and even with managing the manas that Gil was feeling.
Beyond just that, he would be able to always feel what the tree of unity needed in connection to all the elemental trees. He could further allow it to develop as time went on and as he became more deeply connected to mana as a whole.
When Walker got back from flying around to all the trees and touching upon them with his mana, Gil looked up and nodded. He had also felt the emotions and connection that Walker had when he touched each tree. It fully allowed Gil to understand the hope that Walker had when it came to these trees as well.
They were brothers as far as he and Walker were concerned. So being able to find this new way to connect in their life made them both that much more family than before. It also showed out in the open that they shared the exact same feelings of hope for all of Genesis.
"I'll meditate here with you for a while. Let me help with the mana too." Walker sat back to back with Gil while the pair rested and maintained the mana flow.
