Chapter 827 - 827. Morning Dew
WhenWalker went to wake Midnight up in the morning he found that she was already off in the training field behind the mansion trying out the breath attacks. Unlike Walker thought, he saw that she was trying to switch through the different elemental breath attacks. The fact that she was starting to do this early made Walker proud. It meant that Midnight was thinking ahead instead of only thinking about the immediate learning of the skills.
"I won't bother her today. She is already training hard." Walker saw that Onyx was watching over his older sister from the side and gave him a pat on the head, "If Midnight gets tired or starts to cough tell her she needs to rest. You're in charge." Onyx may have been a serpent but Walker could tell he was smiling when Walker trusted him with this task.
There were not many things that absolutely had to be done right away and knowing that he had the freedom to do whatever he wanted was pleasant and relaxing. His thoughts fell through helping the wandering blacksmith who was still changing and adjusting his tools or to join Remey and the old master alchemist. There was also the future herbalist Lewisia who he knew was in the garden with Gil's mother working hard to learn.
"I should probably work with Fleur and get her the mana she needs." Walker realized that even with the wandering blacksmith occupied he would still be held up if he could not provide Fleur with the proper natural mana she needed. The weapon they were making required her assistance.
Feeling the natural mana had become something that seemed to nag at his senses. This was not bad since he was used to feeling the other elemental manas around him, however, it was new that he could not feel them combining and mixing with each other at a more common rate than he even realized.
Walker could feel the small mixing of water and earth elemental mana as the dew from the morning dripped on to the soil of the garden. He could also feel the mixing of the light, fire, and water elemental mana as the wind elemental mana caused the water to evaporate. If he focused too much he knew he could end up lost in meditation for a long time. The way nature worked was much more complicated than he had even realized when he focused just on single elemental manas.
The natural mana combining together was not the same as the natural mana that flowed around. The natural mana was a balanced mana that seemed to touch everything. However, there was also the feeling that more was working here that Walker still could not see or control. It was on the very edge of his mind but he could tell whatever it was, it was connected to the natural mana.
Walker ended up sitting under the small dragon fruit tree sapling that was growing much faster than he had expected due to the perfect care it was receiving daily from Gil's mother and the additional attention from the elemental spirits. Walker could only think that when it was able to grow fruit that Midnight would have another treat that she would convince everyone to give her.
Before he could sit properly to meditate he saw a drop of dew falling from a leaf. This would not normally be something that would catch his attention so much, yet, for some reason it did. The drop of dew fell and slowly dissipated until a much smaller drop landed on the soil sinking in to the roots. Walker could understand that the dew evaporated and condensed again on the leaves keeping them cool in the morning sun. The dew that landed in the soil was absorbed and the sapling drank it up as more nutrients. It was a cycle that would repeat every single morning to a degree.
Feeling that this was something miraculous, Walker reached out a hand and tried to make the occurrence happen again. Surprisingly, the natural mana responded instead of the elemental mana. The elements were all together in making this seemingly simple occurrence happen every single day. With Walkers' manipulation the cycle sped up and before he knew it he had caused the sapling to absorb more nutrients and the dew to be pulled toward it from the other smaller plants.
'The skill dewdrop has been taken from the nature fairy system. The skill dewdrop has been automatically learned through the user action and the young sage title condition.
Dewdrop- 1 mana cost per minute
The user is able to manipulate the natural mana to cause morning dew to speed its natural cycle. The plant being affected by this skill will be able to absorb ten times as much nutrients to be able to proceed to a growth spurt in the near future. The dew that other plants would have taken will be missing causing them to slow in growth for a short period of time. Excessive use of this skill in one area can cause unbalance in nature. This skill can be used to restore some balance to certain damaged places in nature.'
Looking around, Walker saw that the soil and leaves of surrounding plants were dry. After he read the description of his new skill he was excited that he had a skill that used the natural mana around him. He was also happy to have helped the little sapling grow more. But, he knew that he could harm the other plants and that this was a skill that needed to be used sparingly. It would be best to look for the plant that was struggling to survive and use the dewdrop skill there.
Without any other hesitation, Walker moved to get water to remedy the dry soil he had caused. It was a peaceful day to garden and he found himself spending a few hours going through and tending to some of the plants by pruning them.
