Chapter 2239: 2239. Su\'s In Charge

Once she and the others had heard about the situation, they were both worried and somewhat amazed. The natural runes forming had been something that should have taken at least five years, not a single week of beginning the process. Yet here they were, reckless aside, there was a partial natural rune, and a natural mana one at that, not a singular elemental mana.

This left her, Remey, Midnight, and Onyx with a little extra work. Onyx was maintaining a connection with the gathering of materials that Walker had been keeping an eye on. It wasn\'t that there had to be someone doing so, but since they were available, it was better to help here and there were smaller issues might appear.

Remey had been deeply involved in the herbalists and the alchemists\' side of this. Especially since she had been leading the endeavors to find the right herbs to behind expanding these herb gardens. As such, she had taken an even more vocal role in approving or denying the research supporting which herbs could and could not be used.

This was all based on a slew of different factors. But what it boiled down to was research. She had to see defined research that proved these herbs were the proper selection. One that was denied immediately was the vampiric herb known as bloody nightshade.

She had seen the herb and thought about how valuable it would be since it was considered a useless herb only good for poisons. Or at least just as night shade it was. But the vampires proved that they had known about how to feed it proper nutrients which added a tinge of black to the herb\'s leaves and changing the poisonous tendencies of the herb in to an herb that could be used to help a vampire resist certain illnesses that came with them being somewhat related to undead.

Unfortunately, the cost of that change was not the mana coming from a vampire, but a vampire\'s blood. Upon learning the cost of blood from a vampire, she had understood that making these herb gardens with these dark and surprisingly blood affinity herbs would harm vampires more than help them.

At first that had caused some issues since the vampires believed their knowledge was benign insulted. But when Remey brought up their dwindling numbers as a race and how losing even one was a grand harm to their new era of learning and growth, they began to understand. This was not the age where they could be brutal and push forward with force.

They had the time. They had the support. They could take things slow and grow day after day without worries that they would be attacked or destroyed as a race. They had protection for the first time in their history.

There was more stress on Remey when it came to everything that she did not have the time to focus on matching the herbalists and the alchemists who were traveling in to the wilderness to find herbs that might be beneficial for research with the adventurers guarding them.

The reason that selecting the groups was so important wasn\'t because they were being attacked or that there was a need to be wary. It was simply because there were inexperienced adventurers that did not have the knowledge about how to handle these sorts of jobs right now. They needed to have the experience and knowledge to be able to handle these positions.

Midnight was working carefully with Clara\'s new attendants to make this happen. As such, she also got to know the newer adventures appearing. Some who were adjusting to Genesis and others who were making new starts. Midnight\'s surprising maturity shocked many of them since they believed her to be an aloof young dragon.

When it came to Su, however, she was handling a problem that was not at all expected for the recent times. She had expected something like this to happen after months potentially. Not just a few days after the pure ice demons had come to Genesis after hunting down an impure ice demon and fighting against their own kind for control of their small tribe.

Now, she was looking at someone she had never met, but remembered her because the king of water had paid some attention to their party as they moved through the water elemental plane. "I am Su, I came to greet you once I heard that you had sent a body here to represent you."

"I am glad you are going with the flow. The water mana within the world is very low and even this body is struggling to maintain form. I have been offered water mana crystals and also given some unique armor to use as a method of controlling the loss of water mana while maintaining my bond with my true self."

The womanly form was very fluid. Mostly because the body was made from various pieces of ice, water, and also herbs that came from the water elemental plane. "The armor is a basic womens\' knight\'s armor. It\'s been carved with some water elemental runes, not the newest, but they are sturdy enough to help you learn what you came to learn. I assume you have come because of recent events and wish to see a little more?"

The nod came quickly in response, "As the true sage of water, when the water king asked why there was a disturbance within the edges of the icy depths, I went to understand it. Finding the remains of many impure ice demons did not bring us happiness. Then finding that the pure ice demons had ventured in to the world, we believed the worst had happened."

This was all very understandable to Su. She had been wanted by Walker even though she had expected something like this, that there would be dangers. That the water elemental plane may need answers for what was happening with a race that had lived there for generations. "As you saw, there were many impure ice demons. A disagreement in leadership happened within the tribe of pure ice demons and that caused some to lose their calm. To lose themselves entirely." knowing the delicate nature of this meeting, Su didn\'t hide anything. However, she did not bring any negativity either.

"As such, one member hunted down an impure ice demon that came here and attempted to cause trouble. She succeeded and we came. Walker offered them a safe place to live where the dense water mana would not push them beyond their limits or cause their minds to break. Now the remaining pure ice demons are meeting different kinds of their races and learning in a safer environment."

"They will be powerful and controlled enough to return to the water elemental planes one day. When that day happens, it will be a great day where we can unite the world and the elemental planes even closer. More importantly, we hope to see similar cases avoided within all of the elemental planes."

There was a pause for consideration. It was not unknown that Walker was a member of the Origin race, even as young as he was. However, the true water sage had not just considered this as a one and done event. "It may happen again, and you can learn more about the water elemental planes by speaking with them. By bringing them in to your alliance. I see."

The sage was not blind. They understood the state that Genesis was in now that the world had returned to the flow properly. It was changing rapidly and the more the manas grew, the more that the elemental planes would be open to the world. As such, they had to be prepared to avoid wars, violence, and general chaos.

"We are accepting of this situation, however, we can not allow this to be an immediate decision. Every race can not just travel to the world as they wish. Even with the permission of a young origin being. There is a balance maintained due to pure ice demons absorbing mana where they were. It changed, and now another will take their place. That can not happen with everyone."

This made perfect sense. The balance within the planes were always going to be delicate and would need to be monitored by those with proper power. They were there for a reason. "Can you leave from the bridge to visit Genesis? Would you have issues with teleportation formations?" Su was prepared to bring the body that the true water sage had made with her to learn about Genesis before going back and sharing this. She was acting as an ambassador

now.
