Chapter 820 - 820. For Me?
"You might be getting a little too good at the whole complimenting people thing, Gil." Walker had a teasing look on his face after hearing what Gil had been saying.
"What? You know it\'s true. Lisa is getting lessons and experience from the castle\'s seamstress and tailor now. She will probably be the best in the kingdom soon. Plus, she is the only one that is learning or even knows the elf stitched runes." Gil made a valuable point while he watched Lisa examine the fur in close detail.
"Oh, Remey. Now that you are the master alchemist are back I can give you the star fox eyes. I was told they are good for a vision potion or something?" Remey and the old master alchemist had just walked in after finally returning from the alchemy building archives.
"Reall? Star fox eyes? It has been a few months since I have seen a pair of them. They are a little young but I can make a very good position using the centers of them. It\'s a strange ingredient for sure, but the results are great. They are the central ingredient to making a vision restoration potion for old timers like me." The old master alchemist didn\'t let Remey even reach out a hand before he took it. "I will be sure to send some of my research potions to you. I have a unique one that should suit you."
"What do you mean by your research? You have been working on a new health potion with me...right?" Remey was caught unexpectedly by the old master alchemist. She had not seen him working on anything other than the things he did with her. The rest of the dining room also wasn\'t sure what he meant.
"None of you would know, but while you were gone everyone here was improving too." Hilda unveiled the steaming pots of lord boar stew. The small filled the room and every single person began to drool. "Midnight, Gil caught this thorn hare for you to try. It had tough meat so I made sure to slow cook it with the bones still in it. If you don\'t like it I will just give you extra stew." Hilda gave her an extra scoop of lord boar stew anyways though.
"While you were all gone and off saving kingdoms and all that, we were working on our own systems. I managed to get a group together to train again and I plan to try to level up in my spare time. I have started to slack off and I was pushed to apply as a guard instructor at the academy." Walkers\' father picked up where the others had left.
"Really? That\'s pretty amazing. I didn\'t know that there were positions like that." Su had not expected that there would be such a teaching position available.
"There are a lot of new guards that need to be trained to go Genesis city. It is important to have them well educated before the journey there." It was an expected realization.
"I have been working on my recipes and learned a new knife skill. It\'s called speed carving. Just look at the vegetables. All perfect as they should be." Walkers\' mother was happy to see the look of awe on everyone\'s face.
"And as they said, we all have been working on our own systems. I took a break from the health potions and started to focus on something I have always wondered about. Can we enhance magical affinity temporarily to cause better control for a mage using elemental magic skills?" The old master alchemist had grown too excited and spilled his personal experiments.
"That\'s why you said you might have something I would like. Zephyr and I have a good connection for wind elemental mana and if I was to drink a potion that enhanced wind elemental affinity then I would be able to bind with her more and potentially use stronger wind skills." Gil looked much more excited than Walker had expected him to be.
"What!? Why didn\'t you tell me? I would have been helping with that after we finished our archives project!" Remey felt that she had just had a massive rock dropped on her. This was a big deal.
"Hahaha, I have always wondered and with the free time, I have now I decided to put some work in. And let me ask you this, have you told me everything you have learned just yet abut your new knowledge on elven herbs?" The fact that the pair had some secrets from each other just made both of them question the other more.
"Well, since all of you have been busy it shouldn\'t come with too much of a surprise that we have been working too. But don\'t worry too much. You will all get used to it since you spend all your time surprising us too." Gil\'s mother just smiled slightly waiting for someone to ask her about her new cross breeding skills. She had been waiting for a chance to tell them about the flowers she had bought.
"...what did you learn?" Gil knew the look on his mothers\' face all too well and did not hesitate to ask.
"Oooh, it\'s nothing. I just learned a few skills and cross bred an icy blue rose with a pink rose to make a pink rose that blooms in the middle of the snow." The table was all interested in what it would look like and started to pry in to the thing every single one of their parents and friends have been up to.
