"If the elves and the dwarves had not stayed for a little while I would still be guiding the mages to grow the corals back. However, those golems moved massive stones to use as the base for corals. Then the elves that stayed behind had some interesting water elemental arrows that made the water elemental mana more condensed in an area. I doubt that was the purpose of them at first but they were able to help the corals grow faster. The city will look like old times if not newer soon!" 

"If everything is back to normal then that means I should have my merfolk herbalists here now!?" Remey couldn't hold herself back yet. She had guided some people toward the establishment of the underwater herb growing fields. Yet, they would not truly begin until there were experienced herbalists to grow them to the highest quality. 

"Yes, I sent over fifteen that you either spoke with or came to me to volunteer. They had heard a rumor that an alchemy guild was looking for teachers or new members. You seem to have sung a siren song to lull them in to your guild." This was a common joke for the merfolk but it was even funnier to see Leon laughing more than the others. 

"Just head out now Remey, I know you want to get things all set. You also have to send some alchemists to the tower so that they can start to investigate." Walker saw the look in Remey's eyes and let her run ahead. He knew that anything she tried to listen to would not get to her since she would be distracted. 

"Speaking of towers. Is that what is causing the expanding field of mana around here? I could sense the waters becoming calmer the closer we got to the city. I would say that is normal for this time of year, but it is a much more drastic change." Since Leon was used to turbulent water, he had an experience of knowing when and where it would show up. Feeling the change while swimming here had thrown him off. 

"It does a lot more than concentrate mana. It seems to boost the cathedrals' healing aura, help people absorb mana to recover, and even helps extend lifespan according to older texts." This was something Walker was proud of. Just having the mage tower was enough to get them some huge benefits. But exploring and understanding it would show them true gold. 

"I see, then you should be seeing more elves coming by soon. From what I know, the water elves should be coming here right? They might have left the oceans to us merfolk but they are still highly regarded by my people. They taught us a lot and I would like to sit at the same table as them." There was a fantastical care for the water elves in Leon's speech. 

"I wouldn't say that everyone else feels the same. It appears that the water elves cut themselves off from the outside world in their lakes. It is hard for anyone to head over there, Even worse they seem to control water sprites and nymphs so that they don't even need to push people away." There would be a lot of hardship to get the water elves on their side.

"Then we will head there together. My people can work with everyone here to grow. They get along great with the demi-humans like us. So there won't be a single problem. I could use a real adventure too." It appeared to Walker that Leon wanted to pay them back for their help in the ocean. Now that he saw a chance he was jumping at it. 

"In that case, I will see who can gather together to leave and make a relationship with the water elves. They are past the demi-human kingdom and in the large lakes. As much as everyone wants to say singular lake, it is really three that are connected by small waterways and have a large mass of land in the middle that divides them. That is the main home of the water elves other than the waters. I can plan things out with a little help. Just sit tight and maybe get some stuff to help us breathe underwater. I would rather be safe than sorry." Leon took this with cheer and left to get ready. He had brought some special items to help people and would even have some of the mages that came with him cast water breathing skills on whoever could journey with them. 

"Well, that was unexpected. I should have seen it coming in though, we have already spoken about the water elves. At least it wasn't the mountains again. I have to go there soon anyway." Walker was glad he didn't need to go back to the mountains and could head toward the water elves for a change of scenery. He was also glad that he didn't have to deal with marshes or swamp lands. The lakes were fairly tame in comparison. "Now, who to bring with us?"
