"This won't be some simple and easy crafting task. Honestly, I have no idea what this tool will need to look like. It will be a magic device that utilizes materials that are extremely sensitive and very rare. It will also be somewhat like my eternal codex which allows for me to channel all manas through it. Even unique manas." Walker also showed the eternal codex book form so they could all view the materials he had access to.
This was ignoring the materials that he had set up as rewards for the various quests he had given out. Those were already crossed out or set aside for pick up. It was pretty simple, Walker didn't need to directly give the rewards to others unless it was training or knowledge. Therefore, he had tasked some of the younger guards in training with handing out the appropriate rewards.
