Chapter 431: Diamond

"Yes little apprentice, I will be. I thought I might try and make it earlier than usual so you could watch." Trish was starstruck with Remey's love of alchemy. She too had her fair share of elves that would unlock the system but want to rush off and do other things. It took them some years to realize their hidden talents and joys for alchemy. 

"Walker, we are doing it no matter what! The night vision potions are incredibly hard to make because they need to be made using fire elemental crystals to heat the pot and can not be done in the light. If even a single sliver of starlight gets at it then the entire batch because poisonous and can kill in a few drops." 

"Sursure. We will look for glowing bell mushrooms." Walker was how excited Remey had gotten and knew this was a huge opportunity. He also had never heard of a night vision potion and thought that they would be great to have in case they ever needed to travel at night. 

"I would recommend you also take some to your kingdom. From what Remey has said they do not have ones as effective as the ones we make. So much so that it isn't worth it for an alchemist to make them at all." Trish had already gotten Remey talking about human alchemy as she learned the herbs of the elves. 

"Midnight, don't touch those crystals at the base of the pedestal if you do it can infect it with your mana." Remey was quick to catch Midnight sniffing at the crystal base of the pedestal and stop her. 

Midnight gave a soft huff and found a place to lay down and try and nap. She was a little annoyed that she had been reprimanded but Remey had already heard of the value of the ceremony and what the pedestal was for.

"Speaking of all this ceremony, what is the ceremony?" Gil had not heard the details yet either and was just as curious as he knew Walker and Su would be. 

"I got this one. Master alchemist told me everything about it and since the priestess can't speak until she finished the ceremony there's only us." Remey pointed at an elf in pure white fabrics. There were runes sewn in to the fabric but they were also in white. Walker could sense the light elemental mana being attracted to them. 

"Go ahead, little apprentice. I will treat this as a small exam." Remey stiffened. She had been subject to these little exams nonstop for the past few days as she learned the herbs. Trish never let up and was drilling the knowledge directly in to her mind.

"The spiritual cedar itself is a rare tree nurtured by the rare system user; spiritual farmer. They work as leaders to the forest farmers that cultivate the gardens. The tree helps natural mana come in denser waves. This important for the unique natural light mana from the moon." Remey explained how the elves grew this garden which Gil took to heart. He wanted to share all of this with his mother and father when he returned home.

"When the moonlight brightens the sky on a full moon there is a purifying effect that can strengthen and awaken certain aspects of elemental mana. The reason the potions need it is the purifying effect. The reason items like Gil's quiver need it is that the monster materials are easily bonded to a living creature's mana during it." Remey had said all of this like she was reading from a book. Walker was almost uncomfortable with how proper she sounded compared to the usual feisty attitude she had. 

"The lunar priestess can use a skill called silent chant paired with her lunar prayer dance to make the moonlight focus on the platform here. That pedestal is where the strongest moonlight will be focused to create enriched soil around the spiritual cedar. It will also fill the highest quality mana diamond." 

"Mana diamond?" Walker was even more curious about this item. He thought Remey was about to speak of an elemental mana crystal but was suddenly talking about gemstones which were usually useless to any form of magic or mana.

"Yes, mana diamond. They grow in the base of the spiritual trees and can only be harvested once a year when they are released from the spiritual trees' roots to purge impurities. Once the diamond is cleansed it will store the purest natural mana. This is a healer's unique material for healing with moonlight. It is the only way they can use a mastery skill." 

Remey took a deep breath and thought for a second before speaking again. "The mastery skill they have requires incredibly condensed moonlight mana. It uses all of this unique light mana to heal those in a large area around them and can only be used once a year. It is one of the elves' greatest feelings of pride." 

Gil was impressed that Remey had said all of this with such confidence and focus. He didn't tease her at all and even asked his own question, "Why isn't she able to speak again?" 

"The lunar priestess is preparing for the silent chant skill. She can only use it when she has not spoken for three days. The lunar priestess system has a lot of complicated skills but because of the rules they have, there is an incredible ability to purify and heal. They also worship those who unlock the lunar goddess and lunar deity systems." 

Su nearly broke in to a happy jump hearing that there was a connection to the story she had been told as a child. However, she easily held herself back and maintained her seriousness. She was well practiced in this act and wouldn't embarrass her party at an important time like this.
