"Then start making rounds. You don\'t have to act as a single group. Alice and Su should have told you what the priests are like. They and their nuns or higher ranked priests often work alone. Some may travel to villages but they will work one by one to heal someone unless they absolutely need help." Walker had already caught on that the life mages were used to working together.

This kind of made sense since they would need the back up for doing research. If they wanted to find all the secrets of the body to heal it better or just to find the sources of life, then they would indeed to pool their knowledge. It was only a few specific researchers that would divide themselves so that they could research their topics.

"We did tell them. They are still trying to figure out how I am able to heal without actually healing. But since I have the light shield skill that heals those behind me while I defend them, I could technically heal." Walker was still in awe that Su had managed to make it work. She had been practicing the light shield skill while alone. Some of the mages had even given her advice on how to control her mana even though she was not a mage like them and could actively move their mana to attack.

The results had been a gradual thickening of the light shield that appeared when Su used her skill. This light shield over the top of her normal shields were significantly powerful. In the sense that the defense ability had increased along with the light elemental mana pulled toward her. For someone that was not a mage, Su could fool someone in the right circumstance due to how well she had adapted the skill to her body and uses.

"You have spent so much time in the cathedral learning what everyone needs that I would expect you to have helped ten times more people than most healers do. I\'m pretty sure that the last time you helped at the cathedral every single person that visited saw you." Walker was a little teasing but this was not an understatement at all.

"It\'s true. Some of our elderly only come to see Su even though they do not stay to listen to the music." Alice\'s back up proved that Walker was not just making things up here. The life mages saw this entire interaction and wondered just what it was like that people would need to be healed every day. But they didn\'t voice the question since they were so lost as to what Genesis looked like or any kingdom in or around the Genesis alliance.

"Walker!" Gil caught back up with the main group. He had taken the time to leave with some of the scouts. The simple reason was to scout for a camp area that would be easily defended. "We found a good spot but everywhere seems to have evidence of monsters in the area. If food was really the start of all problems then I have no idea what\'s going on."

"There are that many tracks around?" Walker was surprised that the tracks were so evident and constant that Gil would think that the wyverns shouldn\'t have any issue getting food at all.

"I can help with that." Seran drew attention again and looked at Gil who had just returned. "You may think this is a lot of monster activity, but there are large monsters we have begun to see less and less which caused the smaller monsters to grow. The flying spider is one monster that used to be preyed upon by the large toed tree frog. Or the root digging hawk. It\'s called that because it cannot actually fly. It will use its wings to leap or glide tree to tree. It digs holes under the roots of trees to hide food."

"So basically you\'re saying that the wyverns lost all the bigger food they ate. Now they have to hunt a lot more and don\'t always succeed?" Remey shook her head. It was even worse than she thought. Missing out on a real meal was a tragedy. Meanwhile, Onyx and Midnight both looked at Remey with agreement. The three shaking their heads together made everyone wonder why food was the only thing on their mind in this.

"We can eat later, but it does make sense. The food chain was messed up. So if we see any of the larger monster we should deter them and not defeat them." Walker\'s idea was simply to conserve the habitats in the area. Just by saying this many of the elves who were much closer to nature voiced their approval. The angels could only nod along since they would rather see these monsters return than the wyverns become stronger or more common.

"How far is the area for us to make camp?" Su redirected the conversation to the camp they could make so that they could get to work. It would be a better idea to make a decent defense so that they could block the monsters that would surely come out in the darkness of night.

"It\'s only about twenty minutes. I would say that the trees were knocked down by a storm at some point. There are only burned remains that probably came from lightning strikes. The large logs could make for a great natural barrier on one side." The thought process was great so no one argued with it.

The walking was indeed quick, but when Walker saw the open space, he realized it was perfect. Everyone in their large group of soldiers could fit and make a small camp if need be. However , that was not the plan. The angels had already started to grab longer stable branches to cut in to spikes to place in the ground around their camping area. It was ideal to defend anything swooping down at them.

The trees that were fallen around were much larger than he had imagined. The theme of trees getting larger had continued as they walked without issue so far. But directly comparing the large tree that had been broken was dramatically different.

Most trees Walker couldn\'t wrap his arms around but in theory, he could cut them down with magic or an ax. These fallen trees were easily triple the diameter. It was easy to say that he would have issues cutting them down.

\'Thunderstruck redwood

This is a rare tree that can only grow due to high nutrients that run off the melting snow from mountains. It is able to survive tougher forest fires and live for hundreds of years. They provide shade and homes to many creatures.

Due to being struck by lightning in a thunderstorm, it has taken on unique mixes of elemental mana even though they are weak within the wood. If a staff is made out of the wood, it would be very useful for drawing lighting or combing elemental manas to create lighting.\'

The all around appraisal have Walker more than he expected. He would not have guessed that this tree was actually an amazing and rare material that could help when mixing elemental manas.

Yes, he already had the eternal orb. But when he was studying how to better create lighting himself this would be valuable. Furthermore, Walker could bring this to the Rize empire mages so they could experiment and use it for their own magic growth. It would be a very strong bonding find for them.

"What\'s so interesting?" Gil thought that Walker was amazed by the lighting patterns in the wood due to it being struck.

"It\'s a good material for a staff. But you might be able to make a lightning arrow with this if I think about it enough." Walker didn\'t know what he had just said. If he had thought of himself before he spoke he could have saved the bombardment of questions he was about to get.

"The elemental manas inside would allow it to more easily make lighting and combine elemental manas overall. If you want to use it you have to be careful and confident in your skills. Don\'t make me make them." Walker was quick to cover himself but it was already too late for that.
