Chapter 1145 - 1145. Competitions ?

"We lost what!?" Remey was understandably angry. They had lost an entire shipment of vials due to an issue coming from the direction of the mage tower. "How could the mages try and lift something so big by themselves? They were too young to be able to move such a thing with their magic. Now we have a bunch of broken vials that came from the cart crashing nearby." The cost was not major but it put the alchemy guild behind.

"We can just have an additional contest then. We have three vial makers compete for a year long contract and the other two will get an overflow contract as a bonus." Trish had been in this situation before. She had lost a close friend to old age and he had been responsible for the best vials in the forest elf city. After that, she had hosted a small competition to get a new vial maker. 

"I like it. We should go bigger though. Look for the best quality vials as one competition. Then host a secondary with the youngest alchemists below level twenty so that they can gain a mentor or rare ingredients. I have a few herbs I am willing to share." The old master alchemist found this idea to be very exciting. He would love to see the alchemy guild full of eager alchemists who wanted to become the next master. 

"Well, if you are giving up the ingredients for a rare potion they might bleed you dry. I might even offer a little help." Remey teased a bit but was drawing out how long they would need to plan for this. "We can do one mana potion and one health potion within a two hour period. They would need to be able to multitask which would add challenge and show creativity. Then we can have the herbalists jump in for an herb identification challenge. That should help them with their field assignments since there have been some arguments about who gets what." Remey wanted to crush another problem with this as well. 

As much as the master herbalists wanted to just assign the fields to people they found that those assigned would attempt to sneak to different fields and learn more. This would be good if it was not going to disrupt the growing cycles. Now that they had this problem and had brought it to Remey there had to be a response. A competition to see who received first pick would be fun and able to be redone every year or so. 

The alchemy guild was a buzz in no time. Remey had taken their idea and had it copied on to multiple flyers posted around the city. The adventurers' guild took an even more focused look in to it than anyone expected. "You really came here just because we will be having a competition?" Remey wasn't sure why Clara would drop everything for this. 

"Of course I did. You will have an excess of potions. I want the guild to get a major portion of them to use as a way to encourage new adventurers to join. I also want you to utilize some of our young adventures to go out and gather some of the herbs. I believe I can add to your competition and make the young adventures use this as a tier rank up." Clara knew well that there were many new adventurers that didn't really belong in the lowest tiers of the adventurers' guild. She had been working out a way to expedite the testing processes. Now that this was something she had caught wind of she could use it. 

"I plan to have them go out and take on tasks that fit their levels within the guild. It is a good way to create a long period of tests and also to bring in the herbs you need. Your flier did say that the competition would happen in three months. If I mark that properly, then I can send out the adventurers' in a month." It was all perfectly planned out. 

"In that case, we should let the demi-humans host a battle competition. They have brought a lot of workers from their city to build their stadium. It would be a good way to let them adjust as well." Remey wanted to just say yes and forget about this possibility. She knew that Walker would be against it for the fact that many people would get very rowdy with all of this happening. But if the demi-humans were left out then they would throw a tantrum. Competition and rivalry were major in their culture. 

"I can bring that up when all the representatives return to the city. We can plan it now and have everything lined up in a week. Then begin the main planning." Clara was sneaky and was already using her system to send notifications to her staff. She was also planning a list of people to involve. "The crafting guild is also just beginning to function. I know a certain blacksmith that would have a field day with a competition." Clara also knew how exciting this would be for crafters. The wandering blacksmith would draw many dwarves to show off skills against each other. 

"Why do I have the feeling you already planned this before you came. Just go ahead and do it without me if that's the case. I need to keep the specifics in the works for the alchemy guild. We won't have a crop ready in time if I sit here all day." Remey was a little annoyed but she had to admit that she was getting excited. When the others returned she would have the chance to shock Walker just as he walked in to the city. It was a welcome change of pace and a good way to push the negative feelings from Greed's attack away.
