Master Of None

Chapter 2273: 2273. Knowledgeable Wind

"Gil, I can see that you and Zephyr are doing well." Ventus surprised Gil as she had appeared next to him in complete silence. This was odd since she had multiple curses and seals preventing her from using wind mana or even absorbing it.

"I would say you might be doing better than us with how you moved just now." Even zephyr was moving around her in complete curiosity. If Gil hadn't felt the wind, then at least Zephyr should have. But neither of them had, and the true wind sage was still nowhere to be seen.

"I have understood a lot. Even without being able to influence the wind mana by taking it within myself, I have been shown that the ways to move through the wind can be done if one understands how the mana is flowing. I never truly grasped why and how wind currents formed in the first place."

As much as Gil felt he could learn a lot form this, he didn't have the time right this second to be able to get in to an in depth conversation about wind currents within and outside of the world. Especially with the fact that he knew they would be taken away from the wind elemental plane any moment.

"It feels like we have only been here for a few days. But it's been a month, hasn't it?" he looked at Ventus who nodded her head. Her eyes appeared to be troubled slightly by leaving so soon. However, she also looked somewhat excited. She had been away from genesis, her territory, and also the children she had left to grow while she was gone.

After taking a deep breath, Gil looked at the wind horn ogres. They were lined up in front of him, each had a decent amount to carry with them. The protection from the true wind sage during this time had allowed for them to gather foon, herbs, seeds, and many other things

While some of them still harbored some resentment toward Gil, after fighting and realizing that he could not be beaten, even if they teamed up against him, they had fallen right in to listening to him. Their desire to be somewhere safer had always been there, but they were not trusting.

Their lives had been very harsh since they were like many of the smaller races within the elemental planes. Even after being recognized by existence as an intelligent race, they had been in trouble. Forming a village or even just staying together was nearly impossible at times. Their numbers constantly dwindled with very short periods of peace for them.

On top of this, they were not the only ones.

Other smaller races had been entirely eliminated while attempting to survive their elemental plane. They had to strive for survival since that was just the natural order. However, there was also the simple fact that they did not choose to be servants to a more powerful and larger

race.

This was an option to some since they could help maintain the balance within the elemental planes. The angelic wind spirits were one such race whom Gil was somewhat glad not to hear from since they were somewhat stiff when he last met them. He also understood that they had met with the angel race at the bridge to the elemental planes to speak about history. Something he was sure to hear about at another time.

The wind horn ogres had been very unhappy when they had allowed their curiosity to ask about the ogres of the world. Gil had seemed uncomfortable when he had explained about them and the topic was brought up in general.

Simply because the ogres were unintelligent monsters only known for their regeneration and the fact that they would use brute force and size to attack their prey. The party had even fought them before and killed them to ensure safety.

This had brought some bad shouts and even threats of battle. However, Gil had managed to use this as a chance.

He offered that the wind horn ogres might be able to do as the goblins, harpies, and the gray haired spiders had all helped themselves, eachother, and other races become known as intelligent races. The monster races of Genesis had ensured that various potential races had been scouted out and were fully focused on making that their goal for a better future.

This alone had explained to the wind horn ogres that even though they were not exactly the same as the ogres of the world, that they could make a larger difference once there. That they would have the chance to both learn and grow in to roles which could save other monsters trying to break the cycle of mindless survival.

As Ventus caught up, she was very impressed. Not only because she could see that gil had managed to entirely adapt to the wind mana here but also because the wind horn ogres were ready to follow him.

From her perspective, Gil had found the key to utilizing the high elf blood. But also learned why the elves had split from the beginning.

If the high elves and their techniques and ability to focus all on one mana rather than all manas at once, then to the elves with weaker affinities, the high elves would have appeared to be forsaking other manas for the strongest. Therefore, they believed that certain manas were better than others.

That led to the high elven dagger techniques to be split by their parts, in to elemental mana based dagger techniques. Furthermore, breaking their community in to focuses on certain mana affinities rather than pushing to understand their blood and follow trials to become proper high elves as well.

Knowing this, Gil could fill in some gaps when the elves were looking at their history. He could understand the emotions and false perspectives of others. While he could respect the viewpoints they had, the simple fact that their viewpoints were too barrow existed and affected the elves' futures. He could explain that failure to be sure that it would not occur again.

"I can respect your understandings. And I can see that zephyr has been able to properly grow as well. The wind mana she has gathered greatly solidified her form as a member of the spirit race and recognized grand wind spirit." Ventus saw the smaller pure wind spirits surrounding Zephyr as Ventus and Gil traded their learnings.

"I learned why the wind dragon desired to come here. How the world was considered a dangerous abyss of struggle where species were born and escaped from. How all dragons were born there but fled from the truly powerful ancient monsters which caused the world to be destroyed and rebuilt countless times until races emerged and the manas began to settle."

This was a simple realization that Ventus had when speaking with the true wind dominator dragon rating within the wind elemental planes. Their history was much different from the world's. Especially since they remembered when they had broken free from the risks of the world and been told that the elemental planes were always safer and that they could grow better there.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"The knowledge of a true dragon was lost. Of a single originator of all dragons. The one we believed was just the nature dragons. Not the original dragon. But that is enough for me. The ancient wind dragons allowed pure wind mana itself to take to their memories. That is why the dominator dragons also act as anchors for the elemental planes. They maintain both balance and the very history of when dragons came to the planes."

The more that Gil heard, the more he realized how complicated history would be from the dragons. The fact that they lived very long lives did not appear to help. Adding in their elemental branches in their race, then their history could be extremely involved and tough to align. Not that it would be impossible. It would just take a longer time to be recorded

properly.

"I'm sure you could tell me a great deal more, but it feels like we are about to be sent away." Gil looked up as he saw a large amount of wind condense and take a familiar form. "You are being sent away. I only agreed to a short time here. You should stay and show me more. But you are leaving too much to wonder about." The true wind sage would have preferred to keep all three of them here to see how they could develop. But he also understood that he could leave them within the world for later.

That there would be so much more to learn about when the bridges to the world were high rin number and access was greater. To him, this was a short time. Even if it took a few hundred years to happen. The true sages were old and very long lived beings, so just waiting for the chance to see all of what was to come was a small thing to them.
