Master Of None

Lisa found that she had herself some decent clients who were promising rare materials. It wasn't the imagination that limited Lisa in her creations. She found that she was being limited by the materials she could see with.

"You'll have the best darkness elemental gathering runes I can make. And you will have the best fire elemental gathering runes I can make!" Lisa made these promises easily. Everything she made was to the best of her abilities.

"I know you only know the elven runes, but once they research the mage tower origin runes, I will share copies." Walker wanted to ensure that as many people would see the research results as possible. Especially Lisa since he knew that She would be teaching them to herself as soon as she saw them.

Lisa nodded a few times before grabbing Gil and dragging him away. There was a silent prayer for him since he hadn't even finished half of his plate of food. Mordant and Ignus had to hold themselves back from claiming it, they were royal dragons and couldn't be swayed by food.

"I was just saying that we need to be ready for tomorrow. But you sleeping in your alchemy lab again will make you an old grouch and you sleeping in your pile of papers will make you late." Remey's reprimands were loud enough for everyone to hear as she was walking in.

"I thought you would stay at the guild until tomorrow." Su was the most surprised to see that Remey had arrived.

"Well, we were going to. But if we do that then these two will not come out of the labs and offices until the event was already underway. We have the herbs organized, the arena has been reset, and everyone has been registered." The way it sounded, Remey was a lot less stressed than she could be. She was very prepared for the next competition happening.

"They are going to let people in to the stands, right? I want to say I saw some of the dwarven craftsmen putting up temporary rune carved walls so that any smoke won't affect those watching." Walker had noticed this when they were at the coliseum. He had taken a lot of the preparatory building in since he wanted to understand how the different arenas being built would be used.

"It's going to be weird because not many new alchemists are used to people watching them. We told a lot of them today during small preparation and registration lectures what to expect. We are going to enforce harsh noise regulations from the crowd. But that doesn't mean we won't have one or two people that might cause minor explosions." Remey was sure that there would be an issue here or there.

"That's why we have a few mages coming as walking assistants. They will help maintain the strength of flames and other skills being used. That's why we want you to walk the arenas as well." Trish looked at Walker to see what his answer would be. She was sure he would say yes but did worry that he would say no because Mordant and Ignus were present.

"Of course I will. I can't say no to the first ever alchemy guild competition. Ignus, Mordant, you two were planning to come as well, right? You are going to start a trade relationship with the alchemy guild and want to see the new members being tested. You might be able to help spot some good talents, especially since Ignus has a high sense for fire elemental mana."

"I am very interested in the beginnings of your guild. I would like to place a standing order for more of the fire affinity potions I received as a gift. Especially higher quality versions." Ignus knew that the high fire affinity potions had to exist. He wanted them and was willing to pay the price for them.

"I appreciate your desire for my hard work. It took a few years to develop the theory alone. With little Remey's assistance, I have made leaps in theory." The old master alchemist was more than proud to hear that even royal dragons were enjoying the affinity potions. He wanted to hear more and more about them.

"I will come as well. It is always interesting to see the young grow up. Especially from what I have seen within your village." Mordant saw that the old master alchemist was hitting it off with Ignus. Therefore, he responded to Walker.

"Try this, there are some brilliant flavors." Ignus practically forced food on the old master alchemist. Unfortunately, the old master alchemist was not one to handle the spicy roasted meats. Yet there was nothing he could do, when a dragon asked you to eat, you ate. He couldn't offend such a figure.

"Midnight, are the hatchlings still curled up asleep in your spot?" Midnight had been sulking for some time while she ate her own food. Normally she would be much louder and trying to win a little extra attention. Her response was a simple glance away while she pretended not to hear Walker.

"If you want we can see about lighting the other fire places in the mansion. I know there are a few in the upstairs guest rooms." The idea made Midnight perk up slightly. However, she quickly shook her head. She would remain near the hatchlings while they slept so that she was able to handle anything that happened. Hilda had done a lot today to break the ice with the fire elemental hatchlings. She couldn't let that progress slip away.

"Then I will make sure there are a few extra snacks around. I think mother made us some caramel apple pie." The three simple words were enough to make the room go silent. Everyone knew how great Hilda's caramel apple pie was. Even Ignus and Mordant knew they had heard something that was sure to be amazing.
