It was less than a few hours before Walker found himself taking the slower route toward the forest elf territory. This was a good opportunity to also follow the roads and the elves that were removing with Alma were higher trained. While they wouldn't be able to keep up with him and Alma if they moved at their fastest running speed, they could keep their pace and had the stamina not to fall behind.
Walker moved buffing the others as well, but this was not the only thing he did. He was looking at using the manas around him to test to see if the magic tool would also map the area while he moved through it.
The idea that the mapping orb could get temporary information from the route that Walker and the elves took was interesting. While he would not be able to keep accurate continuous information based on the area, there was benefit in knowing the current state of the route.
