Chapter 1154 - 1154. The State Of The Water Elves
"Now that they have left, tell me why there are so many poorly picked herbs." Remey made the demand with all seriousness. She knew that it could not be intentional but she wanted to know why this was the state of things.
"There was an overgrown alchemy lab. I would say that it was a few years before anyone had taken care of it. We were moving through and ended up waiting for Leon to make his move as you know. So, we used that time to grab what we could before we rushed out. The lightning vines were one of the things we let Alma use. Although, you already knew that one." Walker gave a brief summary of what the alchemy lab looked like and the state of tools.
"So it reflected the state of the entire castle at that point. I have heard that alchemy labs can become wild if not taken care of. The old man told me that his friend abandoned alchemy completely when he retired leaving his lab to overgrow. When they realized the lab wasn't taken care of it had been a few weeks but that was enough time for some purple flame ferns to take over half the room." This was a story from a long time ago that the old master alchemist had told Remey. It was an early lesson she learned when he had been speaking idly while he worked and Remey watched in awe.
"I would think that they are recovering it but I brought what I could. They didn't seem to have any issues with that since they were basically cleaning house anyways. I think it will be some time before they have their own alchemy labs again." It would be a few months if not years before the water elves were able to run their alchemy labs again.
"How many do you think will come here? I know they can find work in the alchemy guild since they should be very good at making potions. These herbs and seeds are hard to cultivate. Like this, these are rattle bush seeds. They grow pods that dry out and shake like a rattle. But where they are tough to grow is in the fact that these pods are covered in very sharp and hard to remove barbs." Remey was impressed that the seeds had even been taken. She knew that none of her herbalists they had now would be able to handle growing them but an experienced water elf herbalist would have the chance.
"They should be here today or tomorrow. I know I mentioned that they should travel on the mountain eagles slowly so that they aren't overwhelmed. But knowing how anxious they were to see other elves…I would guess they will be here soon. You can ask them when they get here if you can get past Alma and Gil. They will probably get to them first." Walker remembered the way that the water elves had started to idolize Alma and Gil before they left.
"Guild ma- Miss Remey." The staff member received a glare because Remey was not a fan of being called the guild master. From her perspective, there shouldn't be a single guild master even though Trish and the old master alchemist basically threw the title on her behind her back. "The forest elf representative is here with guests to meet you."
"Speaking of the water elves. Can you have someone come and appraise these. Then keep them separate so that the water elves can look at them as well." The staff member jumped to it and before Walker realized it, Remey was dragging him toward an upstairs meeting room.
"Alma, I knew you would be here." Walker didn't have any plans for the rest of the day other than stopping by the cathedral. So, he was happy to see Alma and be able to join them even though he was roped in by Remey.
"I didn't expect you to be here. I guess it is perfect timing. I brought along the elder with the most knowledge in alchemy to meet Remey. He said that he was planning on sending two of his apprentices here to join the alchemy guild so that there could be a branch in the new water elf city. One of them is an herbalist that specializes in semi-aquatic herbs and another is an alchemist that specializes in defensive boosting potions."
"Really? Semi-aquatic herbs? You know that we have some special fields for the merfolk to grow their herbs along with regular fields. Having someone take the space between the two and put it to use would be perfect since it was wasting away." Remey sealed the deal on the herbalist right that second. But she was equally if not more, intrigued by the fact that there was an alchemist that specialized in making defensive potions.
"You see, my apprentice has always been weaker when it comes to his defense and health. That made him want to supplement his lifestyle for safety. Therefore, he has focused on potions that temporarily add earth and water elemental mana to the body. The earth strengthens the skin and sometimes the water is able to help deflect the damage. The potions are very costly but they have a very valuable benefit." The water elf elder knew exactly how to hook Remey. It was almost comical.
"Then I will allow him to come as well. He should be able to trade that knowledge for the things we know. I bet Trish will have a nice conversation with him about the difference in herbs and techniques compared to the forest elf city alchemy she had grown." This was Remey's card to play. Trish was famous among even the other elves for her potions. This was the deal that clinched the elder in to a full on conversation and caused him to forget that Walker and Alma were even there.
