Master Of None-Chapter 1645 1645. Many Many Runes
"Bridges down! Ropes tied!" The shouts went out again but with double the effect. The shouts and cheers resounded back and forth between the three shops as those that worked the third ship came to the first.
" the king of the surface took the helm of a ship? I thought you would be all the way back home organizing troops." Walker did not hide his thoughts. He wanted to join in on the bright mood the king of the surface had.
"These are part of the army I control now. Should I disappoint every dwarf that fights with me and miss this chance? Our trade routes will even conquer the vast oceans. How could I miss this chance!" The booming laughter that echoed after showed the true happiness that broke the rough exterior of the dwarf. The ever tough king of the surface and commander of dwarves golems.
"A little repetitive but full of energy."
"Says the boy who barely knows a thing about golems. Come let me tell you. Let me open your eyes to the wave breaker, the finest ship and golem creation of the dwarves and elf empires. The first and most powerful golem ship of the Genesis future!"
This much energy was contagious. Those that came from the golem ship were even more hyper. They had been enjoying every second of their journey so far. Now they could share it with even more people. Show it off to even more of those that could take pride in it.
"The scouting golems I asked to return to the fourth ship have come back to tell us they are ten hours behind. Let us begin repairs and check the runes here. All workers and soldiers to work!" The king of the surface ran a tight schedule. There was no fighting the orders because they were ideal in this situation. Especially before they went to the open ocean.
Since this was the case and they had a time for when the fourth ship and pleasingly the fifth ship would arrive, Walker decided to take the time to learn a little. Sitting around and talking would be useless at the end of the day.
His party members went off their own ways while so did Leon and Scylla. They had definitely been more interested in asking the king of the surface for a full capabilities list of what the golems could do.
As Walker moved below deck following some rune carvers, he was enlightened a little. The paths of the runes they touched glowed a little more with their manas. This was their way of checking efficacy.
The runes were constantly used. Walker had seen runes like this in the ancient desert city. Those runes did not wear away too much over time. The same could not be said about the runes on the ships.
They were I derive runes to the origin runes begging used in the ancient city. The rune researchers still had to discover how to replicate them perfectly. But that did not mean the runes on the ship were low quality by any means.
The runes in the ship were partially influenced by origin runes and the best of the best rune carvers. This allowed the ship to be considered one of the best rune carved items in all of Genesis. It would be all of the world if there were not so many ruins with origin runes present.
This was not what walker was focused on, however, he was focused on the fact that the runes were reacting to the mana of the rune carvers. The mana they used helped clear any small pieces of dust and debris that had fallen in to the rune cracks. But it also checked to ensure that the runes were remaining fully working under any stress from the ship being in battle.
Just from watching, Walker was able to better understand how the runes were maintained which was not something he had thought about in depth. From what he did, he would clean his equipment whether it had or did not have runes. Therefore, he didn't have to worry about the runes being broken or dirty. If he ever found an issue then he would bring it right to the wandering blacksmith or anyone with adequate skills to repair it. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖
The problem he found was that he lacked skills to repair the rune itself. And that was what placed him next to the three rune carvers that were examining a large array of earth, water, and fire runes. "I was just saying that this is perfect. We shouldn't try and add the wind rune support here because the weight is still perfectly balanced here."
"And that is why you are still not as good as I am. If we take some weight away, we can have the captain lower the sails and lower the mana cost of the entire journey. That will give us a chance to escape dangers better!"
The arguments were taking over the entire process between the three. So much so that they had not ever registered that Walker was standing there watching the entire thing. When they noticed him, they quickly stopped talking and glanced at him a few times. "So the runes you have here can be added too without much issue? The effects and balance of the ship is where you're worried?"
"That is correct. The wind runes are what can be used to help the wind elemental mana move the ship and also reduce the weight. But if we had it inappropriately here and not at the other side of the ship, there is a chance we would throw off the balance. We could even ruin the balance over all and cause the ship to roll over." These were worst case scenarios but still threats.
"And what would happen if the balance was slightly off? Turning issues and a bigger risk when facing larger waves or monsters?" The more that Walker could learn the better. He didn't have the in depth knowledge and skills to make runes yet but he could compile knowledge.
"There are also the benefits that come. The ship will use less mana and remain prepared for battle. It could also enhance the speed. Every ship can have this since the rune array set up for every ship is nearly the same. The only difference is the ship we reside on. The runes there are made with swift current and mana usage in mind. It gathers mana at double the speed of the other ships."
Walker knew that this was also because of the water elemental spirits involved within the ship in question. They would be able to attract more elemental mana than any other ship even if they only existed instead of using their skills actively. "I think you should do it. The golem ship is already faster. It will be forced to slow down if the other ships are not improved in the same ways. I know that the ships were created too fast. They will have unfinished aspects. This is one. But make sure you keep in mind the balance necessary. If need be, ask Gil for help. He has Zephyr that can provide some extra wind elemental mana that should smooth things over."
Walker left the three with this thought and walked along the runes. He wanted to come in contact with as many different rune carvers as possible. It was the only way that he would gain a wide net of knowledge. He had to learn from everyone and everything.
Yet, when Walker reached the deeper parts of the ships where the forge furnaces were connected to fight elemental runes and large mana gems, he found the most intricate rune carvings.
The runes that created the core of the ship were connected to many rune carved mana gems. They spread through the central hull where mana was gathered constantly by the runes. It was an ideal place for anyone to train their understanding of runes and elemental mana channeling with runes. It was also a very comfortable place for Walker. He could feel the ambient natural mana that stayed around this place because of the many different kinds of elemental mana around.
Without much of a second thought, Walker sat down and began meditating. He could feel Fleur leave the spirit mark and enjoy the space as well. She had been fairly reclusive lately as she absorbed mana and understood herself more. Walker could sense that she had become more curious about the world and how she was connected to it. But that was her path to walk. He would always be by her side and she knew it. He wouldn't interfere without her request.
