Master Of None

Following the plans, Walker saw amazing things. He could still understand many things. Just because he lacked some of the skills he had before did not mean he had lost the ability to understand the basics of what the world had to offer when it came to new discoveries. This right here, was new and amazing.. Using the elemental crystals, there could be multiple methods of travel. Like the ships, the water mana crystals could be used to prevent certain areas from becoming wet. Thus would be paired with rune designs to resist the clouds and moisture within the sky. Something that Walker would not have considered at all. The wind mana crystals would be used to propel the ship in the air. Beyond that, they could be paired with fire mana crystals to make a more powerful wind and fire combination that would allow the ship to move at a faster face. That alone would make this a much more dependable transport ship. Especially when it was carrying people that wished to reach a destination sooner than later. From there, Walker followed the rune designs to the point where he discovered that earth runes would be used. Not just to manipulate gravity in the form of unique gravity rune formations, but in defense. The weather could change leaving the ship free to be hassled by the wind and storms. let alone the wind currents that had greatly change swift the world as of now. 20:00

The weather could change leaving the ship free to be hassled by the wind and storms. let alone the wind currents that had greatly change swift the world as of now. Therefore, they had taken in to account the potential damages of all that and the fact that avian monsters could attack the ship. Just because they were there, the guards would not be able to handle things right aways. The Genesis forces did not have those with flight abilities ready to just jump out at a moment's notice. They had taken up the majority of other positions. When it came to the shape, it was actually much more surprising. Like copying the sales, the first ideas were posted on other walls. Large sails made to trap air rather than to allow it to push the flying ship. That had been changed to multiple smaller balloon like structure at each side of the flying ship. Now, it was entirely based on runes and gravitational magic that could be learned from unique mages who were studying the topic of gravity magic as a whole. So much would depend on these new topics of research, but as they were done, the blacksmith's and crafters could make the design perfectly. These blueprints would easily change another seven or eight times overall. The smaller aspects could change another hundred times. Even while standing here, Midnight and Walker watched as someone came over to replace a small section of what could be the deck to stand on and look out at the clouds on. The change showed different railings that could also be used to latch on to. drop ladders or ropes form so that people could climb on or off. Another change they witnessed was a secondary inner deck. This blueprint had access to the insides where mana gems would be and sleeping quarters. What was amazing, were the forges and different alchemy labs that could be put in to a literal flying ship. The plans were so wide range that it appeared people could life on this vessel for years if they needed to. One person even had a small section dedicated to blueprints that could grow small amounts of herbs within the ship for the herbalists traveling for a longer distance.

"You managed to find this little project. And here we thought you would come to check the underground road. Visit the caves we found along the way." The king of the deep cave had a few rolls of blueprints in his hand. From the ink stains on his fingers, it was clear that he had traded his pickaxe for a pen for the last few days.

"We were with the wandering blacksmith so that we could talk about some metal alloys and when we might explore the elemental planes. But then he told us about this. We have to look."

"It's amazing." Midnight backed up exactly what Walker was thinking. She knew that this would rival a dragon if there was a younger dragon trying to fight an entire flying ship. Simply because there were ideas to put certain weapons on the ship. Magical ones included.

"I see that you like it. Well, I was just going over these few plans. I can tell you want to take a look at the defenses though." the king of the deep caves noticed that Midnight had been focusing on the defense plans.

"We noticed the dangers that came with the earth wyverns. Also those bats we heard so much about. What if there are swarms of monsters within the skies. The exploring ships could also be attacked by bandits that have wings. All of that is possible."

"A few elves came to help us with this. Wind elves to be specific. They helped us develop the mounted crossbows. They use wind arrows the size of a grown man's arm." The king of the deep was very enthused by this. He had never imagined taking to the skies would be as much fun as exploring the deep caves with his men. Considering these threats that could arise in the future, Walker felt that he should focus more on the Genesis guards than anything. Bandits appearing would slow the growth of the races down. Especially if they boasted that they were from one race or another.. It could cause a little trouble.

"Always will be some bad apples. Just accept it for now." The king of the deep learned this at a young age. He knew that passing this advice down to Walker might help a little. Especially since he was a hero who wished to do the best by everyone. But that was just it, no matter what, some people would be foolish.

"Come look at a few other things. You can judge the monster skin we are planning to use in case we need to create a balloon of floating air to help stabilize the ship." The king of the deep caves waved them over. Compared to what he had been like when Walker first met him, he had smoothed out a lot. He also had a lot more energy to focus on things that were not necessarily about the deep caves. This was all expected though. The king of the deep found himself as the representative for all dwarves within the Genesis alliance. He had greatly stood out as such and would keep doing so. The other two dwarven kings were glad to let that be the case since their people all supported this happening.

"These are the experimental fabrics, monster skins, and a few rune covered materials we are testing. We think that they can be used to protect the ship, or even be able to hold it up in an emergency. But we also have a few more things." one of the crossbows made for the ship was already on display.

"See this? It was made by fifteen dwarves that specialize with crossbows. Then the elves came to help. We used a spiral hawk tendon for the bowstring. It sounds small, but the spiral hawk is the size of a carriage. They are very powerful wind monsters too. Great for this."

"Then we have the light root tree wood as the base. It's a very light but powerful wood. It only gets tougher the longer it sits in the sun. Great for the open space of the sky." The king of the deep caves kept sharing. He was a proud king. His people and those they allied with made excellent items. Discovered great new things. How could he not let the energy infect him to a degree?

"What else is there? How about controlling it, just a wheel like the ship? Or magic?" Walker had the feeling that he was about to witness something he had seen Sloth doing. The floating cities had a control section. Ones that allowed someone with enough mana proficiency to be able to reach out to further runes from one spot. This was how the entire floating city was controlled. Therefore, the ship would have the same.

"Rune formations. The ones recovered from the ruins of the floating city were easily explained by appraisers. We couldn't use them yet though. Too advanced. But there are teams upon teams making these runes. They won't be able to carve until everything is perfect." Walker and Midnight enjoy learning all of this. They were seeing the future written before their eyes. Now they just had to give themselves the time to absorb all this new information. This amazing future information.
