Master Of None

Chapter 2515: 2515. Embering Coal

”They have a hundred and fifty farms this size?” This was what had shocked Gil so much. While Genesis was nowhere near the size of these farms, it was stunning to know that these people have farms of this size a hundred and fifty times over surrounding the city they created.

Along with that, they were able to protect it all enough that the people in those farms felt safe. They did not worry for their safety!

The fact that none of them had noticed any kind of patrols also made it strange though. Genesis had their farms patrolled by guards and soldiers adventurers who would fill in the gaps with week long jobs. It all came together to make a sense of security that the farmers desired.

While the group didnʼt learn about what methods of patrol of protection there were here, it was clear that there had to be some methods used. People wouldnʼt just trust that monsters or another race wouldnʼt just come here and take what they had.

Remey had managed to gain some seeds for basic fire elemental herbs and even seeds for basic farmer crops here in the fire elemental planes.

What she found most interesting were the yellow sparking grass which was a basic staple food. For the coal people they would eat this daily but if grown in the world and used in alchemy it could be made in to a paste with other fire elemental herbs to create a medicine that attracted more fire mana to an area for a very short while.

It wouldnʼt be something used by mages, but by the races who ought struggle to absorb fire mana due to an injury. This could assist them in healing if their body requires fire mana to nourish itself. Or even help go against diseases or naturally born deficiencies.

While seemingly small, it presented the differences in value that some materials, herbs, and items may have compared to the fire elemental plane and the world as a whole. It was the same for the lack of value in the water affinity materials Walker had for here.

”I still wonder what the brutal flame bison are like. They said there were herds in the closer farms that take up most of the space before city.” This was something Gil had said twice already.

He knew that other than the produce and staple foods there were farmed monsters kept. He knew that many would be similar to what they had in the world but the farmers they had all mentioned how temperamental the brutal flame bison were.

”If they are so dangerous then they would make a good example of how farmers here can adapt to farming other places right? Maybe they could be a challenge that farmers or tamers need?” His mind was on how he could encourage the two in to growing more advanced faster.

This was something that as leaders everyone wished for the guilds. The crafting guild was always in some inner competition that spurred more developments than normal.

”Food!”

Both Midnight and Onyx came back from checking the awards in the edges of their groups and went right back in to what they had asked about the most. To be fair no one was going to be against learning about the food they had.

One major aspect of Genesis for culture overall was the food in every aspect. Now that so many races were mixing, the foods had also been mixing and changing to become unique in every possible aspect.

”That should be it, they said the walls were made from volcanic stone treated with pure fire mana crystals to make it a proper fire wall, but I guess we know what that means now.”

It was simple to have a hard to accepting what the farmers had meant in their description. Nothing having earth materials brought here for a city wall was hard to accept in terms of location but then changing their affinity by incorporating pure fire mana crystals sounded impossible. Even calling a wall of fire had made everyone think that they would just see a larger circle of flames rather than a wall.

ʼCrystal flame wall

This wall took a hundred years to build and is considered one of the best examples of flame masonry. Utilizing the densest of earth mana stones, pure earth obsidian, pure fire mana is directed inside while burning away the earth elemental mana.

This process is extremely delicate but when done properly causes the dark obsidian to grow extremely dense pure fire elemental crystal which constantly had moving fire mana within to nourish an area with purified fire mana. It also makes it much tougher to break and can easily be considered one of the best defensive walls ever made in Fire elemental territories.
