Master Of None

Chapter 2328: 2328. Cloud Farming

"Another new race to handle too?" This was not something that Scylla was ready to handle. She had been working very hard in many ways all unrelated to battle right now. Especially since the things that had to be done were related to gathering materials for the cities and their defenses.

"This race is traveling with Lady Ventus to be educated before they reach Genesis. There are also angels moving with her who wish to undertake a grand flight to reach Genesis since they are uncomfortable with the elemental rune teleportation formation." This report had been given to many of the Genesis representatives.

However, it was still odd to hear. Many people had trusted the elemental rune teleportation formations. They had been amazed by them since they worked so well and had the help of many of the heroes who founded Genesis. Beyond that, they were also proven to work safely over and over.

But feelings were not logical. If some people who were more sensitive to mana around them were not comfortable with the sudden flare of manas during teleportation. This was also an issue for the echidna who were very in tune with natural mana as well.

"If that's the case, then we have time to provide food for them. We have received a few different notices that the cloud fairies do not consume the same things we do. They can literally make unique crops grow on clouds in the sky. Something the herbalists and farmers are entirely lost on since these are ancient crops." Her sigh was a little longer this time.

Scylla did not want to make this seem as if she did not care. She did feel the stress associated with this though. She felt that the farming aspects of her position as representative of the demi-humans was growing more and more. She was not getting the time to train the soldiers who worked under her.

It wasn't imperative that she was the one doing so though. She understood this but that didn't change her feelings. No matter how many capable assistants or high class soldiers, or even veterans who had fought for years she put in place, there was a lingering worry that she would not be there to ensure that certain bad habits were not picked up. Habits that would put them at risk.

"Call the water mages, the dual water and wind mages, and some of the best farmers. We can get them together and try to make false clouds in the greenhouses yet to be used. If that can be done, we might be able to test some of the seeds sent through the elemental rune teleportation formations to us. If we succeed, then the cloud fairies will have a food storage ready for them without worries that they will have a bad first year if crops."

When it came to food storage, the demi-humans had been way better prepared than all other races. Since they produced the most food, they had always focused on learning how to store that food without needing elemental runes, magic, or anything else. Now that they had access to all of that, they could store food for years on top of years.

"You want to speed all of that up?" The question stopped any assistant from speaking to Scylla as she stood up in surprise from the cluttered desk she felt chained to lately.

"It would be much better if we could speed this up so I can get back to training the soldiers who will be our moving forces through teleportation to every single kingdom." This was what Scylla really wanted to do. She wanted to build the forces who would always be on call to teleport to any kingdom in need.

Those who would eventually become multiple forces that would teleport to the small magic towers built one day. She had to prepare them to be the best soldiers that Genesis had. The greatest and most efficient joint racial forces that could not be harmed due to their strength. If they could be made unbreakable, then they would be the best defenders of all kingdoms within the alliance.

"I just got back from a little work here and there, since Ventus took the lead with the cloud fairies and they trusted me to vouch for her, it only took three days to get used to her. The cloud fairies are a little touchy with the dragons but since the dragons in ancient times and their stories are long gone, they were able to accept Current and Ventus rather quickly." "The angels would have allowed me to stay to explore their floating cities if I wanted. But they are handling their own personal issues and I did not want to halt them. Their people are more important than just showing me around." Walker's casual remarks mentioned multiple big events, but Scylla didn't take the casual tone to heart. She knew very well that Walker was always working on something, if not many somethings.

"You can come to the greenhouses then. We will make artificial clouds, have runes placed to maintain them. Then we can grow whatever these seeds are." She had ten times the energy that she had just shown. She even grabbed Walker before leaping out the window made for harpies to fly in with mail. Energy was energy.

This brought him and Scylla to the greenhouses she had mentioned sooner than he would have taken if he wandered there normally. Walker was always one to get lost on side tasks while moving around. But that was part of what made him the best hero for Genesis. He didn't ignore the small plights.

The greenhouses being built were much larger. They had to be larger to handle the many herbs and crops that could not survive in the territory that Genesis occupied. Some would be fitted with elemental runes that created icy environments. Others would be the same as a desert, even filled with sand on the ground. Even more would need smaller monsters to help the plants within survive so they would double as a more farm like environment that tamers assisted with.

All of this was part of the planned future for Genesis. Places of research and growth for all races. The gathered greenhouse environments would not be anything but amazing to witness for those who came to learn for their own kingdoms.

The large greenhouse was already full of waiting water and wind mages. Even a few with dual affinities in those manas so that they could make clouds. They had magic skills that allowed them to make fog and mist which they could also use to condense clouds. It wasn't impossible and even something a few of them had worked on when they were focusing on potentially making rain clouds for fields too dry at the moment.

There were a few rune carvers as well. Prepared for whatever they needed to do when it came to the greenhouses. They were already working nearby and just had to move to this

greenhouse.

"Sky spinachNôv(el)B\\jnn

This is a well known vegetable that has survived the test of time. Its descendants eventually stopped traveling on the clouds once the cloud fairies were not controlling its growth. As such, they fell to the ground and gained a slight earth affinity to grow on the ground better. The dual wind and water affinity that they have allows them to take root in clouds while absorbing some light to purify their leaves and turn them white. While they would not be nutritions to most races, to a cloud fairy, one leaf is enough to feed it for the day. This is also why they take longer to grow.

They are exceptionally delicate compared to the normal green spinach growing..."

Walker wanted to laugh. He had barely walked in when he saw the small round white seeds that could grow a plant he was familiar with but not at all. Even the plants that everyone ate today had come from ancient plants like this. He would never expect that the green spinach he saw since he was a child was descendant of the cloud spinach that literally grew on clouds!

"There's more here too. White dandelion, clouds cotton, and something called curled daisy. They are all seeds farmed by the cloud fairies." Scylla's knowledge about these plants were just what had been learned by the appraisal scrolls. Nothing that she had seen as of yet. Even the seeds were light and could easily blow away with a single slight gust of wind.

"I think this might be a little more fun than we thought. It's crazy to think that these all grow on clouds. I bet that will make the rain from those clouds even better for the fields too, right?" Scylla smirked when she realized that she had managed to get Walker hooked. When he became excited like this, good things happened.
