He wanted to ensure that there would not be a single monster here that could harm those that were building a new home for themselves. Especially the guards that were coming here to settle and defend the island.
There were plenty of ideas about how they would be building up their homes. A large place to live on this large island with ancient ruins would ensure that plenty of people were always journeying here.
Whether by ship or space rune teleportation, they would come.
Those that came to research would need places to take what they found and study it.
Especially if they wished to study the ancient runes that were where. Therefore, the ideas to create a place where research could take place was already being mapped out and prepared.
This was naturally next to a library, which would only house the research materials relevant to those researching the area. Basically, it would be an archive that kept the history of all the research done.
This would in turn, allow for those that were starting their own research path to have a powerful basis. A direction that they could push themselves to learn in.Basically, they would be speeding up the research with knowledge from their predecessors and their bright fresh minds.
While this had made most of the party impressed, Walker wondered if he should try and have another range tower built.
It was the very thing he thought about most while wandering the nearby ruins and the forested sections of the island.
The reason that he had so much focus on this while he checked the island was simple.
There was a greater deal of elemental manas drifting through the island because of the changes in the bridge to the elemental planes. Therefore, it was important to keep focus on that amount.
If there were drastic increase or decrease, it would be signs that there might be trouble within the elemental planes.
If there were people traveling from the elemental planes to anywhere in the world, this island could act as a buffer.
The less dense mana but still held in place manas from the elemental planes could ease them in to how different they would feel.
In essence, the mage tower would be to condense the manas on the island and make it an easier shift from the elemental planes to the world as it was now.
Even if it was still harsh, they would not be immediately finding themselves struck by so little mana that they would fall in to shock or suffering.
While Walker pondered these things, Fleur had taken off with Midnight.
The pair appeared to have decided that exploring with Walker to fight monsters that may or may not be there was too boring. Especially since he wasn't speaking at all.
Just thinking as always.
To be fair, most people would find that somewhat boring.
They had some free time now, so why not use it as more time off to just have fun? To ignore reality and responsibility for a short while.
That led the pair toward the gatherings of elemental spirits which had traversed the bridge to the world from the elemental planes.
Mostly they were earth spirits, but Fleur could see a few of the more careful elemental spirits with other affinities keeping distance.
This was unfamiliar to them, so they didn't want to spread out too much.
But they also could tell that Fleur was different from them. While they were elemental spirits, Fleur was of the spirit race.
The most powerful spirit of the spirit race since she had the control over natural mana which meant she was more than just a singular being. She had a defined body that was more than just mana now.
Through their random playing and communication, the spirits eventually made a point to become curious about Gil. Following their inquiry, Midnight and Fleur made their way to the portal, or the bridge, entrance.
They found Gil sitting with many arrows spread out all around him.
When he had heard they had free time.
He did not hesitate to take the time to work on the arrows he had. Not because he was worried about having more, but because he wanted to relax and keep himself from overthinking.
When he was stressed out, Gil would revert back to what he was most comfortable with. Because his father taught him to hunt and he became an archer that way, Gil fell back on the common practice of preparing his bow and arrows.
Making sure the bow itself was well cleaned and oiled. Making sure the string was not fraying or beginning to show signs of wear and tear.
Making certain that every arrow was perfectly prepared for the right situation.
Since he now had hundreds of arrows, this process was much more involved.
Especially since some of the arrows were experimental due to his training with the other elves. They had all inspired unique arrows using different manas to cause different effects.
Hence why Gil had so many. But when a mischievous pair snuck up behind him, he had no choice but to join a sudden game of chase with Midnight and fleur.
Not to mention the other spirits that joined in.
None of this was noticed by Su and Remey.
The pair had focused on the herbs that could be left planted here for when healers and herbalists were needed. The island would be home to many and a passing point for even more.
Therefore, they felt that with many of the herb seeds that they had gathered through travels, they could begin naturally replenishing herb gardens. Remey had the knowledge that allowed her to choose the right seeds for the right places.
Su had the kind heart to put in the efforts to ensure that the seeds were planted properly. Both were focused on their own sides of the hard work of finding these spots.
They managed to find a few places with older trees that gave the right amount of shade to plant some low growing healing herbs. Then a few good sections or hard rock that mana potion herbs could grow up for proper airflow.
It was a pretty good game that made both of them feel rewarded more than what they would have felt by just sitting around.
All of their growth, the entire party that is, had led to the party not needing as much rest as others.
While they had this issue before, now was a clear example of why they needed to ensure they had days off now. They could go days, if not weeks, while focusing on their tasks.
Not Many of the higher leveled people would have this situation occur. However, the party was one of the groups that had made it more evident.
They had leveled up quickly and led many different groups of soldiers. That being the case, they had shown how they could keep pushing forward with extra energy to use.
That was why they had learned to stop for the soldiers safety and health. It was hard to adjust to such a difference in energy.
Onyc had learned quickly that if he kept moving he would lose his mental will. While his body might be energetic, he would tire his mind out.
Be unable to make good choices for the future of the young serpents who he cared for.
As that was the case, he had gathered the young serpents that had made their way to the island with the soldiers and others.
He slowly told them of their journey to these elemental planes. About the different beings there.
How they had fought and traveled through places that didn't even make sense to him.
Most of all, he told them about their ancestors.
The originator of their entire species and how their ancient counterparts were still not even close to the original serpent which had begun their bloodline. Enough of a tale to astound the young serpents sp that they could share it amongst one another.
Use it as inspiration for when they were strong enough to go off exploring themselves.
All of this had gone on for over a day when the elemental rune teleportation formation was completed.
Walker was impressed by the addition of small bronze wires. One of the rune carvers had found that the bronze allowed for some manas to be able to be held back.
Effectively lengthening the formation's lifespan.
While not perfect yet, it was already double as effective as it had been.
New runes were being found every single day. The more that they were researched, the more that the language of mana and existence would become unraveled and shared amongst every race.
A great note to leave the island with.
