Chapter 2253: 2253. Hiding Potions

?

"So Gil is leaving too? I didn't see that happening." Remey placed down a small crate of potions in front of Walker.

He hadn't heard this from just Remey, Alma had come personally to ask him to make Gil change his mind. She had failed to do so and as far as Alma knew, Walker was the best person to talk Gil out of it.

Not that it worked.

"Alma is pretty angry with me over that. I won't talk Gil out of it. Learning from the true wind sage is a big deal. Not that Gil really needs it, he just needs it if he is going to be one of the people that leads others in to the elemental planes."

The way that Remey looked at Walker after he said this was strange. "You know that going against Alma will end with you getting hit with some poisonous plants in revenge. Or she might not even let you come looking for the elves' help for a while." Remey had to make sure she didn't anger Alma since some of the herbs she used were expressly grown by them.

It wasn't that the herbs were too challenging to grow. It was the simple fact that she had to take very few of them due to the fact that they were still very close to extinction on their continent. It would take years to come back from that.

"It's a big deal though. Forget that the true wind sage seems to just be entertaining himself with all this, Gil will be able to grow alongside Zephyr. Their bond will get closer and I am sure that will lead to him being able to do much more." it was a fact that they were all still growing. Even if it was mostly their communication with the people of Genesis right now, it was growth.

"So you are saying that you think he will come back stronger than me? Screw that! I will use these potions myself!" Remey was ready to take away the crate of purified affinity potions she has just brought to show off to Walker.

"No! That's not it at all!" Walker was ready to jump over the table and block Remey before she smirked and he understood she had been messing with him.

"Ugh, keep at it. I'll make sure you feel the pressure later when more people start making you experiment with individual affinity potions." Walker had already seen the many requests and knew there could be more.

Along with the fact that Remey and many herbalists had begun experiments with the racial herb theory, there had been requests for specific potions.

Since the idea that some herbs had connections to certain races, came the fact that their histories might hold secrets to those herbs and relationships. Hence why many people began to research and send the alchemy guild information. As such, they were even busier than they had been before.

Many apprentice alchemists had shown extremely high rates of growth with the pure flood of information. They were learning new aspects of herbs because of various experiments when the herbalists brought them to the guild.

There was also the fact that the idea of race related herb awakenings or growth forms could lead to unique potions. If an herb changed based on a certain race nearby it influencing the growth with their mana, what about using those herbs to make a potion specifically made for that person or that race altogether? It had to be possible.

"I swear, if you make those letters double or triple, I will burn the mansion down and make you build a whole new one by yourself. Without magic!" Walker was sure that Remey wouldn't actually do it, but he would have to face her fists if he made trouble.

"I won't do that. But just saying, Gil will probably bring back some herbs from the wind elemental planes. He knows that he would need to do that or he would have to fight you." he took a deep breath before looking at the potions.

"There are some decent potions here. The fire affinity potion isn't a grand potion but it is called a purified high potion which puts it as a pseudo grand potion. The same with the earth and the light purified high potions. The others state that they have slightly better effects than a normal portion of their level."

While Remey already understood these aspects, she had brought them to walker since they were still kept secret to even the alchemist guild. She knew that when people heard of them, there would be another commotion.

Right now, the grand potions were being described as impossible to make due to lack of perfect quality materials. The herbs just needed more time and care to reach that level. Not that this was entirely honest.

It was really the mana cost and the fact that a potion of that level could be very risky. Remey knew that from the injuries that the old master alchemist had taken on. Luckily, he was fine in the end and used it as the right time to retire. Besides that, there was the economy of Genesis. They were a very young city. It still changed day by day and introducing more and more high quality products like a purified high affinity potion would lower the cost of the other potions made by younger up and coming alchemists. Remey needed these potions to be held on to for the time being and unveiled as incredibly rare high class rewards for upcoming festivals or tournaments.

That way, it could be called as priceless for the time being. As the time moved on, the alchemist guild would slowly begin to produce them as more master alchemists reached the heights where they could learn the formulas to make such potions. Then there would be other aspects to focus on. The grand potions.

"Gil took some potions with him, right?" partially a method of worrying, Redmey asked Walker after he had finished looking through the potions she had brought.

"He did, they should help him, Ventus, and Zephyr learn more about wind mana and whatever unique forms that they are going to be training with. And yes, he will give them out so that people will understand what they can get through deals with genesis."

He knew that this was also part of it. Finding alchemists from the elemental planes wasn't something easy to just say would happen. It was something that would have to be worked toward since potions were not what came to mind when the party had gone to the elemental

planes.

However, they had not gone in to any truly established territories of any race while there. That alone proved just how massive the elemental planes were. It also was partially due to their pursuit of the immortal king. They wished to follow him to deal with him and he had avoided dangers trying to get where he wished to be.

"Good, then I will start to focus a little more on my new weapons."

"Huh?"

Looking at Walker's face, Remey knew she had just won again. "I managed to convince the wandering blacksmith to repair and rebuild the elemental knuckles. And this time, he used some metals that he made using some special forge furnaces. They can handle my flames and also handle weaker amounts of other manas that surround me. It even can use mana gems and mana crystals as interchangeable parts."

After hearing this, Walker wanted to see these weapons, but Remey shook her head. "I will show you the brutal elemental gauntlets later. I can't wear them yet since the mana gems I will switch in and out are still being prepared. It will take another few hours before the proper

testing phase."

Thai was enough for Walker to want to stand up and go watch this process. It sounded interesting. "Don't go running away. You have to finish what you are working on. You told everyone that you would be preparing for the forest test of the smallest floating ship model." There was a slightly threatening tone to Remey's words. She knew very well how important the small testing floating ship was. Before the finalized building of the large floating ship could be continued, many of those who had invested heavily in the project wished to see

proof.

This was a fair ask since many of the representatives from Genesis also wanted to show off proof that the project was for the best of Genesis. Therefore, a smaller testing ship that could fit a single small person was being shown off today.

It was more manageable and would allow for many to understand the benefits of the floating ship. It also would show off the downsides of the project too. It would make or break the future of this project. Even better, it was happening while the true wind sage was still present. He had yet to leave, so, he would see the true ingenuity of Genesis.
