Chapter 2328: 2328. Cloud Farming

"Another new race to handle too?" This was not something that Scylla was ready to handle. She had been working very hard in many ways all unrelated to battle right now. Especially since the things that had to be done were related to gathering materials for the cities and their defenses.

"This race is traveling with Lady Ventus to be educated before they reach Genesis. There are also angels moving with her who wish to undertake a grand flight to reach Genesis since they are uncomfortable with the elemental rune teleportation formation." This report had been given to many of the Genesis representatives.

However, it was still odd to hear. Many people had trusted the elemental rune teleportation formations. They had been amazed by them since they worked so well and had the help of many of the heroes who founded Genesis. Beyond that, they were also proven to work safely over and over.

But feelings were not logical. If some people who were more sensitive to mana around them were not comfortable with the sudden flare of manas during teleportation. This was also an issue for the echidna who were very in tune with natural mana as well.

"If that's the case, then we have time to provide food for them. We have received a few different notices that the cloud fairies do not consume the same things we do. They can literally make unique crops grow on clouds in the sky. Something the herbalists and farmers are entirely lost on since these are ancient crops." Her sigh was a little longer this time.

Scylla did not want to make this seem as if she did not care. She did feel the stress associated with this though. She felt that the farming aspects of her position as representative of the demi-humans was growing more and more. She was not getting the time to train the soldiers who worked under her.

It wasn't imperative that she was the one doing so though. She understood this but that didn't change her feelings. No matter how many capable assistants or high class soldiers, or even veterans who had fought for years she put in place, there was a lingering worry that she would not be there to ensure that certain bad habits were not picked up. Habits that would put them at risk.

"Call the water mages, the dual water and wind mages, and some of the best farmers. We can get them together and try to make false clouds in the greenhouses yet to be used. If that can be done, we might be able to test some of the seeds sent through the elemental rune teleportation formations to us. If we succeed, then the cloud fairies will have a food storage ready for them without worries that they will have a bad first year if crops."

When it came to food storage, the demi-humans had been way better prepared than all other races. Since they produced the most food, they had always focused on learning how to store that food without needing elemental runes, magic, or anything else. Now that they had access to all of that, they could store food for years on top of years.

"You want to speed all of that up?" The question stopped any assistant from speaking to Scylla as she stood up in surprise from the cluttered desk she felt chained to lately.

"Sky spinach

This is a well known vegetable that has survived the test of time. Its descendants eventually stopped traveling on the clouds once the cloud fairies were not controlling its growth. As such, they fell to the ground and gained a slight earth affinity to grow on the ground better. The dual wind and water affinity that they have allows them to take root in clouds while absorbing some light to purify their leaves and turn them white. While they would not be nutritions to most races, to a cloud fairy, one leaf is enough to feed it for the day. This is also why they take longer to grow.

They are exceptionally delicate compared to the normal green spinach growing..."

Walker wanted to laugh. He had barely walked in when he saw the small round white seeds that could grow a plant he was familiar with but not at all. Even the plants that everyone ate today had come from ancient plants like this. He would never expect that the green spinach he saw since he was a child was descendant of the cloud spinach that literally grew on clouds!

"There's more here too. White dandelion, clouds cotton, and something called curled daisy. They are all seeds farmed by the cloud fairies." Scylla's knowledge about these plants were just what had been learned by the appraisal scrolls. Nothing that she had seen as of yet. Even the seeds were light and could easily blow away with a single slight gust of wind.

"I think this might be a little more fun than we thought. It's crazy to think that these all grow on clouds. I bet that will make the rain from those clouds even better for the fields too, right?" Scylla smirked when she realized that she had managed to get Walker hooked. When he became excited like this, good things happened.
