Chapter 1664 1664. Half Fire Half Water
The patience that Remey had for the two getting in to talks about getting stronger then interrupting her alchemy was done. Ignus had already been watching her every move for a while now and that alone had been enough to get on her nerves. The only thing that had stopped her from turning around to punch him was the fact that Ignus would surely hit back. And a fight in the lab could ruin her potion.
"I brought some leech fish for you to keep. If you let them consume the blood of a few poisonous or venomous monsters we run in to you should be able-"
"I can make better antidotes. I might even be able to keep them alive instead of killing them with every single feeding. That means a better everything. Instead of potions, I might be able to condense it in to a pill. That would require an herbalist or a better alchemist but it's possible." Remey had already heard of the leech fish and she was ready to see what she could do.
In the corner of the room there were barrels of water that were set up for use when making potions. But some of the barrels were filled with salt water for other uses. Now they would be used to house the leech fish. From what Remey could tell, they would be durable enough to live in them. If she spoke to the right tamer, they would even be able to go dormant until they were needed.
"That's why I brought them. The ribbon fish being netted on the surface are all carrying a few of the leech fish on them. I thought it better to gather them." Walker was still proud of this and was certain it was the correct call in the situation.
"It's perfect. If you hadn't gotten them I would have to beat you up in front of the whole crew and take over the ship entirely. That would just be embarrassing." Remey laughed a little and Walker knew she wouldn't actually do this. She just had her own ways of showing how she cared and was happy.
"I have a few of the affinity potions done. The high affinity potions are still too elusive but I have one mid tier affinity potion for most elemental affinities. Right now I am condensing one that will be low or mid tier fire elemental affinity potion. It depends, the ingredients are not cooperating." Remey seemed to not only have trouble with the herbs she was using but looked to be struggling with the actual condensing process.
"Think I can help?" This made Ignus look at Walker carefully. He had been listening intently to what Walker had brought for Remey. But now that he heard Walker might be making potions too it was more important to focus. Walker might use the natural mana he manipulated to add to the potion. If that was the case then he would have a chance to see the flames react here. It was a perfect start to getting ahead of the other royal dragons in terms of strength.
Coincidentally, every royal dragon was thinking the same. Even Rise had the idea that she needed to remain ahead of everyone. The singular reason she worried was because she was the strongest of the royal dragons and oldest. If she was not still ahead of them, it would be a massive insult to her pride. That could not be abided by.
"Sure, give me a boost and use the buffing skills you have." Remey didn't even flinch. She answered right away. Her thoughts were simple, if her body was buffed with whatever skills Walker had, then she would be able to work better. She could even use the extra mana around her to better condense and heat the potion.
The fact that the fire affinity potion had too much water in it was strange. That came from the impurities in the herbs since they were mostly dried. When Remey had added purified water to make the potion, the herbs had released small amounts of dust, impurities, and other things from storage. This alone could ruin a potion completely.
The reason that the potion would be a very low tier fire affinity potion was due to the fact that Remey had already altered the formula a little. She had added a few small ember herbs that she had fresh which normally were used to treat burns. But they had a useful effect on making the fire elemental mana in the dried herbs react with the fire elemental mana being used to heat the potion overall.
The reason that the potion was not fully losing the effects it should have was that the formula and ingredients were still good. It was a sort of balance between the impurities and the good qualities. Unfortunately, that meant that the potion was stuck. Therefore, more heat and control were needed.
It wasn't that Remey couldn't make that happen. If she really wanted she could have Ignus use his flame breath to heat the potion up much higher. The problem she had was control. The fine control that she had would make potions without issues. Yet, when it came to impurities, the level of control was much MUCH, higher. That was why she worked with the old master alchemist or Trish more often than not. They had the years of experience to have the extremely fine control in alchemy.
The other alchemists that came on the ship had that degree of control in some aspects. Unfortunately, they were not at all comfortable manipulating the affinity potions that Remey was much more experienced with. It would be the same as asking someone to do the hardest task on the first day on the job. A foolish expectation.
"If I use some natural mana to mix with the flames, then I can control the heat while you use other skills to make sure that the heat is being directed to the right places." Walker figured that all he had to do was use the natural mana around to increase and decrease temperature as he was told. That left Remey with the free mind to focus solely on the ways that the impurities were being removed.
"That's simple in context but I need you to change the temperature as I say exactly. It can't fluctuate at all. If I need it even a half step hotter, I need it exactly that. No more, no less." Remey's harsh words made Walker feel like one of her younger siblings in the orphanage. He could be scolded at any time and had to watch out for Remey's wrath.
"I can do that." With his full focus, this would not be an issue though. Walker had more experience with flames than other elemental manas. The water and earth were the next closest then air darkness and light. It was a long process and Walker believed that one day he would be considered a master in all elemental mana without having to have a mastery skill in all the elemental manas. But that was still far out. He had too much to learn at the moment.
"Then let's do this." Remey started to pull at the alchemy flames around the cauldron. The potion seemed to react and bubble within the blink of an eye. Without wasting time, Walker pulled at the elemental mana.
He could sense the water elemental mana being taken from the potion and also the fire elemental mana within it. They seemed stuck together making it feel like a fusion skill of some sort. It would have been interesting if Remey made it a water and fire affinity potion.
Like lightning had struck him, Walker looked at Remey with a wild grin. "Why not make this a water and fire affinity potion? We don't have anyone that can use it but since the water elemental mana is trapped in the potion with the fire elemental mana and it seems stable…"
There was a single breath where Walker was sure that Remey was going to lose it. Yet, she slowly started to shake a little before a wicked grin bloomed. "You are a damn genius! I can beat that old man by making a fire and water affinity potion. I should have realized that the ember herbs had leaves that absorb water elemental mana too. They are from the desert. How could I miss this!"
The quick changes that Remey made involved dragging boxes and jars toward the cauldron. She was working like a mad man to get as many herbs as she needed to make it a true fire and water dual affinity potion. In the meantime, Ignus just sat there wondering how he had managed to lose the fire affinity potion he wanted. But he also wanted to see the opposing elemental manas balanced in a potion that didn't yet exist. He knew he would be the first to witness it. He also recalled the steam dragon child of his.
