Chapter 2313: 2313. Developing Wilderness

While Walker and his team stayed resting for a while, others had already started to move.

There had already been plans for some healers and farmers to come. However, to reclaim the lands that won't be affected by a natural volcanic eruption, they needed one of the more unique classes that appeared lately.

The wilderness farmer was a class that appeared as farmers were trying to learn about the changes in pants due to changes in manas. While there was the worry of chaotic mana, they had also developed new farming practices.

In that respect, it had been a lot of time and work. To the point where many people working on these projects brought their families with them. Not that they weren't a farming family anyways.

Since the younger children without defined classes and skills who were still panting managed to obtain the class wilderness farmer. A few younger farmers even managed to change classes using quests that appeared.

Their research of wild foods which some hunters might rely on became a huge deal. They learned qualities of these natural food stuffs, some being about how they could grow them over larger areas.

While wild food options usually can't be grown the same ways that farm foods would grow, these methods referenced the ways that elves harvested foods. The methods that naturally allowed that wild plant to grow and not perish entirely.

It respected the ecosystem so that nothing would suffer when the plants were taken. That's how the wilderness farmers worked too. They followed multiple practices propagating these foods which some races preferred. Not to mention some monsters needed to survive.

With these new classes focusing on expanding natural food stuffs like this, then they were perfect for repairing damaged areas. They could also understand how to bring plants that had been thought to be extinct back in to certain ecosystems. It would change a lot of what was happening within the continents but it would be in a more balanced way with growth of all in mind.

As all of this was a major focus of the projects around the lava fields and volcano, the other aspects were also popular.

The communication from Walker's group about the various ores and partially formed earth mana crystals was enough to cause a fuss. Not a negative reaction in any way shape or form. It was because Genesis and every kingdom needed building materials.

Just the general growth of all of them was more than what they could keep up with when it came to materials. The costs of a single flying ship was already a large portion of gold being taken from budgets. Adding on the materials too, the storages would be broken down to nothing very soon.

The flow of new metals and potentially new ores or alloys created during a volcanic eruption could change many things.

People like the wandering blacksmith who chased new aspects of forging would be able to adapt and develop many things.

While this was also a worry going forward, the volcanic monsters living here might allow for a whole new ecosystem to be utilized.

Just the fact that Ignus and other dragons had come here to settle the issue would be more than enough reason so adventurers would come. Adding Walker in to the mix? Well, that would encourage a small village to be established.

That was all putting aside the simple fact of researchers needing a base camp. Therefore, a small camp would turn in to a village then a town in no time flat. Expanding the influence of the Genesis alliance and supporting more growth in a time when people were beginning to fear the wilderness.

All of this was on Walker's mind while he used communication crystals to prepare and push for these things. All playing small parts in the grander picture in his mind.

What did linger though, was that Gil was also busy.

Gil had been pulled in to a somewhat unexpected avenue with Alma. Her ability to grow plants at a fast rate had been the key to many things.

Defenses against potential threats like ancient monsters were a focus. The elves in particular went to their queen for answers.

As such, Alma had called together all those who had similar skills and classes as her. Leading way to the formation of a new squad of elves who would move kingdom to kingdom quickly growing or establishing small groups.

They could rapidly grow dense vine or thorn defenses. Walls which could add obstacles to monsters attacking or be a defensive wall within itself. That was putting aside the potential for their combat abilities using plants as well.

Gil's part in this process would be to allow him to find the people who would join the squad. It would also allow him to help relationships with the elves and other groups. Many of them have not acclimated to other kingdoms yet since they've really only focused on Genesis. More so he had to focus on the relationships between the representatives of the Demi humans and the elves right now, because the elves and the Demi humans both focused on nature or farming. Since that was the case, there would be some interesting differences in opinion when it came to forcing plants to grow faster and utilizing certain plants for battle defenses.

It is why he found himself standing between Scylla and Alma as they argued over who would be representing these groups. Who would be communicating these new squads? And who would be building these new small camps of elves and also Demi-humans?
