Master Of None-Chapter 2747. Gil Knows His Stuff

"Gil!" When Walker spotted Gil ahead of them, he didn’t waste time shouting to bring him over. He was sure that Gil was caught up in this or that, but it didn’t matter so much right this second.

"You missed a whole bunch while you were off helping with the ruins. I did hear you managed to find a few interesting things though. A lot of the rune carvers, rune smiths, and rune researchers left to head to the ruins." It was always amazing how quickly information could travel now.

That was the deal with everything though. The faster information could be shared the faster work could be done. The information guild was always phishing to make sure that everything communication improved. The harpies, batmen, and even the spirit race had worked very closely sharing their methods to keep that improvement going. Just using communication crystals were not always the fastest method now.

"That sounds about right. Then again, you and Remeye were plenty busy here too from what we read when we got here. You even had attendants waiting for us." Walker gave a slight smirk to Gil who just shrugged and offered a small nod to make sure that Walker knew he was glad they had caught up.

"The forest elf queen and her attendants, and some of the older elves met me halfway in to the road to their territory. They even saw we were handling the problems with the trees and potential issues with the farms. Scylla already has the farmers up to date and they are preparing to handle every issue associated with this. We just have a few weeks of slower growth in the farm raised monsters." This was expected and Walker knew exactly how to answer the questions.

"Safety is the priority for the food. We can worry about side effects of the slow down later." Su was already beating Walker to a response since she had swapped her armor in to her armor for meetings. She knew that things would have gone that dietitian and even seemed to have become more prepared than Walker. It was actually sort of funny for him realizing he was the slow one here right now.

"Then we should go meet them?" Accepting the situation, Walker noticed that Alice was sticking close and Midnight was also fidgeting impatiently. The two were ready and he was the one keeping them back. "We also need to meet King Rorick, right? Or is he busy?"

"Oh, he had been staying in the coliseum fighting some of the younger elite guard captains on their time off. It seems like he is more entertained with that than seeing how the farms are being tested for efficiency or the experiments in rotational crops right now. Then again, he brought several guards with him who have also been analyzing the structure of guard training. A few of them have even been beaten in sparring matches with the guards that Su trained, so we will see how that goes."

There was a brilliant smile on Su’s face hearing that. She knew how much the demi-human race put in to training and battling. It was a massive aspect of their culture. Just as someone may dream of being a mage or learning to forge the best weapons, for the demi-humans, they cared for the fact that they would be able to fight like their fathers and brothers. They wished to pursue strength in battle to show off their prowess and ability.

Scylla had risen to the position of general because she had been powerful and accepted. She did not shy away from showing the people who she was and what she could do and she lived it.

"We should also make note that we might need to deal with another aspect of king Roick’s guard, he had a new general."

This caught Walker and Su off guard. Midnight raised her head in interest though. She knew that a new general for the demi-human people would be someone she might get to meet and spar with. If that were the case, then she would be the first to show off her new skills and also see if she could bring out the true strength of a general from the demi-human people.

"She has serpent characteristics, almost like a lamia, but apparently she has the traits of an extinct monster called venom king cobra, it lived on the edges of jungles and is in quite a few ruins as art or carvings. I assume that she will want to learn more since the archives have some records of the monsters she had traits of."

Now this gave Walker a lot to think about. The increase in mana across the world was a way for them to see how the world should have been. However, the changes that happened were not just in the size of the world or the ruins lost to them over time. It was on a person to person basis too.

New classes awakened, even the fact that the classes existed instead of isolated systems unique to everyone was a massive change that only the younger generation would be able to take proper control of. Otherwise, these person to person changes were often very prominent in races like the demi-humans who had traits of monsters or otherwise.

The traits in their bloodlines were not being seen more clearly because they had needed the more potent and dense manas to allow them to demonstrate their full potential. This meant that their classes and their characteristics worked hand in hand. They could grow more fluidly compared to what they were capable of before now and were becoming clear signals for everyone else to focus on themselves in a way of understanding and interest.

"I assume that they will want to spend some time looking through more than just the research on ruins. There are books about ancient monsters based on myths and stories. If we can gather those we can make a better impression by sharing them. I assume Scylla has yet to meet this new general?" The shake of Gil’s head proved Walker’s assumption correct. Scylla had most likely been too busy dealing with the farm issues due to their recent pests.

Then again, that was Scylla’s priority. She could ignore her king because she had every right and duty to the people first. That was how she was and she lived and breathed that. There was no way she would turn away and bend the knee to a king that did not understand what she needed to do over all other things.

"The forest elves also brought quite a few new merchants ready to begin exploring new trade routes. I tried to explain that we have mapped routes with the merchant guilds but they have some older beliefs so we will need to put our foot down with that." Gil gave a warning while they neared the Genesis building.

They had a separate hall built for meeting like this. It would allow for attendants and nobles from certain kingdoms to sit behind their leaders while larger conversations were had. It was a way to welcome everyone in properly.

"The date for the main meeting is already set, but the human kingdom and the dwarven kingdom will arrive within the next day or so. I think we should head to meet the king of the humans, it’s been a while, and we sort of lived there too..."

To say this was an odd statement would be all too true. Walker and the others had the city of Diamond as their home. They came from there and even became adventurers meeting there for the first time. Yet, they had changed so much and gone off so many different ways since then.

The nostalgia was greater than what they had realized since they had always tried to keep moving forward. But looking back at where they came from was always a good thing now and then. It also would be due to show some respect for where they came from by greeting the human king themselves. Markus Raven would surely like that since he was the human representative on the Genesis council. He too had come a long way since the founding of Genesis and his work with the finances had brought out the best in over thirty members of different races who now managed entire teams for financial honors.

"Is this who we have been waiting on? Why would we need to wait so long!" The arrogance in the words were only from someone who saw themselves as too high up to be kept waiting. Walker, Su, Alice, and Midnight all took deep breaths. They knew they would still have some pushback from the older elves. These were some who had never left their homes and didn’t even show presence when the forest elf queen held her meetings. They were the stubborn few who believed in the older ways or no way at all.
