Master Of None

Chapter 2240: 2240. Guiding A Sage



Mentally, Su told herself to thank whoever had the idea to bring water rune carved armor to the true water sage. It was a very discreet way to allow the water and ice body to be hidden from view therefore allowing a little more privacy.

This didn't stop the focus on Su that she normally had. The true water sage witnessed many people come up to her or wave to her in greeting. This was unusual for the true water sage because that was not the case for her whenever she roamed the water elemental planes.

Just the difference within culture from the water elemental planes to the world was already enough to make the true water sage wonder what Genesis was like more in depth than what she was already seeing.

Unlike the true earth sage, the true water sage was one of the sages born within the elemental planes. She was completely lost as to what the world was and how it came together. Only that it was a place where all manas mixed in unique balances without becoming chaotic. She even believed that origin beings desired to create a larger world.

Why else would they always be bringing together the elemental planes from the chaotic manas?

Regardless of these thoughts, the true water sage had not said a word while they moved through the elemental space teleportation formation. She had experienced teleportation before as she neared the space elemental planes in the past. It had been a simple check of a nearby elemental plane that had been brought nearby to be sealed.

However, it had left some awe within her, the sheer differences between it and the water elemental plane had been enough to do so. Not that Su saw any of that, the body sent which was made from water was able to keep emotions hidden well. It was just a copy of the true water sage's consciousness to bring memories back to her.

"You should be able to see, but there are many races that live within genesis. It's dusk now, so you are going to see the change from day to night. It means multiple other races who can not easily walk around in the sun will come out. The nightlife is much different here."

Many people would call it another city altogether since the demi-humans with traits more applicable to the night and the vampires came out during the night. However, there had been a sub species of the harpy race who took after bats. The harpy queen and kept them far away since they were less welcoming to others.

The issue had been resolved though as the harpy queen had complete control over them. As such, the bat men had come to genesis and begun enjoying the night life. When the vampires arrived, they quickly began to get along very well with them. Their nocturnal habits and similar diets proved to be a grand combination for them.

But one aspect that led the vampires to accepting the bat men as their friends was that the bat man race could easily communicate with bat monsters and bats in general. This meant that the vampires trying to form bonds with bats as familiars had a middle man that they could go to for help.

The busy streets were slowly changing in the true water sage's eyes. She saw the harmpies leaving and heading to their homes in the high up areas of the city along with the nearby elf forest. She also saw the arrival of the bat men and even some of the gray haired spiders. The harmony as things changed was fluid, just like the flow of a river in to another creating a lake at the end.

When she saw an elder dark dragon take dragonkin from while leaving a bundle of wood for repairs to a small shop which had been hit by a carriage earlier that day, she was even more shocked. The dragons would never lower themselves to such things in the elemental planes. Yet here she was, seeing a peaceful and clearly accepting dragon.

"It's a lot to take in. but this is Genesis. Many of the races used to have their own negative views of one another. They lacked trust in others as a whole too. But when we started to traveling around, we started to see the solutions to their problems. It took some convincing and fair few tests, but we were able to find ways to bring everyone together."

"Many races lost their histories to wars, the broken flow of elemental manas, and even to themselves because of their own changing views. Now, we have reclaimed a great deal of history to be organized within the Genesis archives and shared freely for all to learn from." It was clear that Su could keep talking forever as she began heading toward the Genesis building. The true water sage couldn't even come up with just one question to ask. They were so numerous that her mouth remained shut while she just watched and absorbed everything. "The mage tower you see over there was from an ancient race that was almost completely wiped out before heading in to the Sigil continent or the elemental planes. Regardless of the history being solid, we have brought it here. Eventually, an archmage will become the tower master and the effects will grow. Right now it provides mana gathering and also a revitalizing effect over the city."

Noticing that the true water sage was focused on a demon girl walking with a few of the younger dragonkin, Su spoke up again. "That's one of the demons that were saved from their own people. The demon lord and the sin title holders caused some demons to become monsters who enslaved their own people. While everyone can become a monster, they had gone too far."

"After saving them, they joined Genesis and have made a great deal of magical investments and advancements for the city. Their mages are currently responsible for taking important roles in almost every aspect of the city. That's why Walker extended a hand to the pure ice demons."

"You extended an invitation so that they may live the same as another of their species. They have less risk of losing their minds and becoming impure ice demons. They also can choose other paths to walk other than their tribal warrior history." It was expected that the true water sage would have knowledge about the pure ice demons and their ways.

"Walker told me that they would be able to absorb smaller amounts of water mana here because the world had yet to adjust to the proper flow entirely. That means that they will not be at a larger risk. After some time, their younger generation will be able to handle the denser water mana in the elemental planes."

"And every generation afterwards will also have the natural resistance passed down by their parents." The true water sage finished the sentence and Su nodded along.

"I may have missed the opportunity to meet you when you crossed through the water elemental planes. However, I am glad that this event happened. I wish to see even more. I also wish to meet Walker. The true earth sage was very clear that he had respect for him and his goals."

It was unfortunate that the true water sage was so open now that she had seen this. It was like someone seeing a chance to learn for the first time in their lives. The thirst for knowledge was

very clear.

"Walker is handling an issue with natural runes. An accident happened while someone experimented wrongly. Now we have to repair the issue. It should take a week or two. Will your body be able to hold up until then?" Su didn't want the true water sage to leave unhappily. Especially since there was a great deal to be gained from this visit.

"Then I will make my body go dormant for the time being. I came here for an answer about the balance being slightly disturbed. I have that. Now I wish to meet the rest of those that led this city to exist. I will also learn more about the world so that I can report to the king of water

later."

As they walked in to the Genesis building, the true water sage froze her body solid and a slew of water runes covered the armor. From what su could tell, she could somewhat understand what happened around her, but just enough to know when her goal would be met. "Well, now I will get poem guards to keep you safe and have an archivist come and tell you about the founding of Genesis. Hopefully that helps you pass the time." Su couldn't make heads or tails of the situation. She just knew that her life had become quite the oddity as well.
