Master Of None-Chapter 2782. Theories To Relax

"It wasn't intentional, I just kept thinking about how my mana sense was improved and I could potentially sense more from the manas around me. But then I got sidetracked and focused on the multi dimensional storage skill I have. It led to me making a small space that can store a plant."

As much as Gil wanted to make sense of this, he knew that his own train of thoughts would never head that direction. He was usually a little more focused on the arrow she was making, but he did know what it was like to be distracted in just that. The number of tested and experimental arrows he made was a little higher than any average archer.

"It can store a single plant? So you can make more space to store something alive, like rescuing an injured person then?" Gil saw this being the ideal thing that Walker might want to create or use. He also understood that he would surely use this skill to help as many people as he could because Walker always thought of others.

"Not really, I would need a lot more mana and a lot more time to make that possible. Right now it could probably store a single herb. But it can grow and move forward in its natural lifespan without being harmed." Now Gil was beginning to understand.

"You managed to figure out time mana then!? You were all worried about that a while ago saying that it was completely impossible to even see for you since it was so abstract. You even got angry and said it would be easier finding new snacks that Su and Midnight hadn't tried than figuring out what or how time mana worked right now."

"It's not like I can manipulate time mana. It has its own way of moving and trying to manipulate it to do anything like we might think would be way too dangerous. But some of it can be pulled in to the storage space I made and helps the manas move as they needed to. Don't go thinking we can go back in time to the ancient world or anything. That would ruin everything. It would be the same as dragging all the chaotic mana in to the world then saying we were just going to be fine no matter what.

"So ridiculous, it's ridiculous to think that way. I can't wait to see you tell the researching mages that time mana is an impossibility. All the theories you just broke apart…" The slight smirk on Gil's face was because he knew that he wouldn't need to deal with any of this. Especially the fact that no one else knew much about mana also meant that he could use that as an excuse for not being able to speak about it too.

"That doesn't mean time mana is altogether useless. It can be used to see potential. Time mana might be connected to those seer classes and prophecy givers from stories. They aren't all set in stone, just like mana everything flows. So there is a chance that everything could happen and time mana just shows us those options."

"Walker, you are just saying that time magic is basically gambling but while we get to know the odds of how lucky we will be or how unlucky we will be." While Gil had just made Walker lost for words, he also saw that Gil was sort of happy that he had been here to witness Walker figure this out.

"I did manage to sense that something related to my race clicked together. I think I haven't been really whole yet until now. It was like this with space mana too. The Origin race needs to mix itself with every mana to keep growing and I definitely just took a big step. I have a feeling the origin race isn't about time but about understanding. That might be why they work to bring elemental planes together."

It seemed that Gil was relaxing more and more now that he was bouncing ideas back and forth with Walker. A lot had been going on recently and even more with the fact that Gil's mind was focused on his future family. He was taking yet another step in to new territory for himself and Alma. It was a lot of weight on his shoulders, but something that would feel lighter if others were there to support him like Walker.

"So the origin race heads out to learn more about everything and comes back to see how it all develops. Sort of like a garden but they are also somehow tangled up with the will of existence and how it's growing the world and elemental planes?" It was odd to Walker that Gil seemed to grab on to the theory he had so easily, but it was also perfectly on point for where Walker's thoughts were.

For him, the origin race was something of a mystery ever since he took the step toward being one. He had been confused and lost even with his encounters with powerful beings and other origin race members. They were insanely powerful or had deeper control of manas and concepts of existence itself than he did. So for him, they felt like entirely different beings beyond what he could ever be or ever understand.

Now, he sort of grasped an idea of how it was all possible. The origin race and other powerful races needed to develop through unique hardships and understandings. Things that the world could somewhat show but couldn't perfectly illustrate because there was so much unknown in the chaotic mana of the void or whatever was beyond that. They used that chaos as a way to see the impossible become possible and build it together with the rest of the world to greater elemental planes.

"I think it's a big deal but you're right, I need to explain a few things we might need to ban. Like time magic trying to speed up or slow down time. Too many repercussions or damage that can come with it. It's similar to how your mother says we can't force plants to grow too fast or we would ruin the whole garden." Gil understood immediately and made a mental decision to share that point of view with the echidna and the elves.

"Hey, other than your break through, did you hear about the vampires and the goblins? Apparently there used to be a goblin tribe in ancient times and they served the vampires. Not really like slaves or anything, but as the goblins were starting to learn things some vampires saw potential and wanted them to be indebted to the vampire race, so they taught them a lot before that clan of vampires went to war and they lost everything."

Gil was clearly trying to share some new history that the vampires had uncovered but it sounded strange. "Ancient times might have been more developmental than what we thought. The vampire sliced for a long time and so did the immortal chasing race. So both races would think a hundred years ahead, right? What if they had a bunch of plans for races and other things that never happened because of all the issues with mana and elemental planes?"

Now Walker understood why Gil might be thinking of this and think it was a good swap in topic. If he was right then there could be a lot of plans that these two races had before everything fell apart, literally. It could mean that plenty of ruins could spell unusual results for researchers rather than some enlightenment of the ancient times.

"The goblins found it interesting and noted that some green skin goblins and red skin goblins have myths passed down about black skinned goblins with dark affinities. But that's just stories and not so much proof because of how they lived and what they lost before regaining it in this age. The vampire's accounts match the black skinned theory though." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"It's good to think so many years in the future. And if goblins will show their affinities more clearly as the generations go on by their skin color, they might have a closer bond with elemental spirits or some of the angel race." Both races showed their affinities clearly.

"We should also consider what we could track down about long term plans the immortal chasing race had. Like what if they actually gained proper immortality? It might help us understand a lot more about the ways that ancient races got in to wars." Walker was starting to understand Gil's thoughts too. The pair was learning a lot while not actually digging up pure facts. It was fun and they could forget about their duties for just this short while.
