"So these are the ideas for the gravity runes?" Walker was amazed that this had been made already. While they were not working at all, the rune formations that had been carved on these metal sheets were clearly working toward something. From what walker could tell, the formations were just missing important parts. Sections where mana had begun to flow had caused cracks here and there. The rune carvers working in this workshop had been able to make many different ones. Each test showed that there were multiple ways that the mana could flow through. Some used fire mana in an attempt to change the flow, while others stayed focused on what was known about earth and space manas. The issues were still there. Mana that overloaded the rune formation. Manas that were not able to flow properly. The shapes of the runes being too sharp. Even some of the runes showed signs that they were just basically the wrong rune in that position. It all showed each iteration and how they had failed or changed one from the next.

"The runes are just part of it. This was a dedicated rune formation testing shop. They even made a smaller version of the elemental teleportation rune formation. It works on a thin sliced metal sheet like this. From there they can send smaller items. The only issue is the cost. We burn through one of these sheets every single usage. They can not be sued again. It also costs a lot of mana." The king of the deep caves was gladly showing off more and more. However, he was more energetic than what walker could even recall seeing him in the deep caves or even fighting a monster.

"You mean that in the next few years, we could have rune formations smaller than a book, that can send small items long distances?" This was shocking! The many things that this could be used for would change the world over again. The issues were cost and mana cost. Both would take a long time to be handled since the materials were not something that could just be made out of anything. They had to be durable metals or something that would not break immediately during the carving process like most stones. That was why the elemental teleportation rune formation had failed before. It had worn out too quickly because of how it was carved in to the stone of the ground. Hence it had been remade multiple times since the first. especially after the space rune itself had been discovered and was now being researched. These rune formations still had a degrading issue. Even with the world returning to the best possible flow and uniting with existence, there was the mana cost issue. Denser manas did not mean lesser mana cost for skills or runes. That was just a wishful desire. The distances of the world also changed. The world had been almost compressed if someone were to need to imagine it. When the world had returned to proper flow, the influence of manas that it desperately needed caused the world to expand. It was an odd happening that not many people even attempted to explain. The only facts were that the known maps had changed and people were working very hard to remap them. Luckily, many of the routes and the roads made had also expanded to a degree. Therefore, no damage and no changes to the basics that were known. So just adjusting of the scale on most makes was needed.

"We can use these rune formations better though. What if there is an emergency right now in the demi-human tournaments? They need a potion that's only made within Genesis, so, they use a communications crystal, have one of these, use rune formations, get the potions, save a life." Midnight heard Walker saying this and she looked at these successful prototype rine formations in her own awe. She understood their benefits now. They could save lives even incomplete as they were.

"That is correct. It brings me pride to be called king. The dwarf that completed this one is called the genius rune researcher. He has a skill called rune language proficiency. The more runes he learns and understands, the better he gets. Amazing, right?"

"I feel like rarer classes are showing up everywhere. Basically, the limits we had are gone.' Walker smirked wondering just how many amazing people he would meet come the next few days. Besides this moment, Walker and Midnight saw a decent few other things before someone came to steal away the king of the deep caves. He was the one in charge of the building right now. Naturally, every plan and move needed to be taken in to account by him before it went forward. Walker and Midnight didn't wish to bother him any longer either.

"We can go see what else is happening in the city, I heard that the herb fields are looking pretty amazing. Even the ones burned because of corrupt plants were apparently recovered a lot." Walker saw Midnight nod. She had the thought that they would check out the changes happening within the alchemy guild afterwards. Especially since she knew that Ignus was resting there around the flames to recover mana and Remey would be working hard at some new potions too. If they were able to stop by the herb fields, they could sniff out some good herbs to bring with them. Midnight had a knack for that now since she had worked with Remey so much. The fact that Remey had always explained to ehr what and why the herbs were good really helped. Especially when it came to finding the best quality. Now Midnight had memorized how to do it. Leaving the forge and crafting area, Walker found that the herb fields had alsp been changed slightly. There were many spirit race moving around and creating a more welcoming atmosphere. This seemed odd for a place that were supposed to be made for just farming herbs. But, that was the false thinking people had when it came to herbs in general.

It was better that the herbs were in better locations. For example, a small hill made so that an herb that absorbed run off water would allow that herb to grow better. Furthermore, the addition of walking paths within the herb fields allowed people to enjoy the natural scents. The relaxing aura of an herb garden. The elves greatly supported this idea bringing the echidna in to this as well. It appeared that the two races would be taking a major lead in this project as the spirit race had already begun changing things. The earth spirits were making new pathways to curl around the more unique herbs. Some people would fear that this could expose others to dangerous herbs. However, that had already been considered. Specifically, the more dangerous, poisonous, herbs had already been set up to grow in more isolated areas. Those that were truly dangerous had their own simulated environments controlled by rune formations and even covered in glass greenhouses. While not many people paid attention to Walker as he moved through the new pathways within the herb fields, some of the elemental spirits came over to see him. They could sense Fluer was still sleeping which disappointed theme, but that was just the price for her using nearly every bit of natural mana she had to help battle the demon lord with Walker. Not that this was a bad thing. She needed the rest and Walker was technically resting right now. He was also able to learn a lot. The changes in herbs were amazing. One specifically that he had seen before was what could be called the elephant's foot turnip. It was an herb with a weak numbing effect that had been able to be found within jungle environments. The reason it was called the elephant's foot turnip was because the rough skinned elephants would stomp on it to help their feet feel better after walking for long distances. Now, the herbs were definitely larger than they had grown from what he remembered. One thing that the all around appraisal now stated that these were a higher quality than before. Something amazing that had come to the world changing back to the proper flow.

"What's that?" Midnight had snapped up some leaves from a nearby bush. Walker took them from her hands and realized that they were incredibly delicate gold colored leaves. They even had a slight oil on them that made them seem shiny. As he used the all around appraisal, he was amazed to find that this wasn't some tea leaf any longer. It had awakened the properties it should have had as an herb. One thigh hat Walker never considered, the plants had been unable to grow to their real potential like this either. This had always been an herb, not just tea!
