Chapter 1407 1407. Already Done

"That's the first batch of herbs! Arena one has the chance to start!" Remey had been put in charge of watching what was happening as things progressed. This allowed her to announce and keep people focused on the big happenings within the competitions.

There were a few of the master herbalists watching over the younger herbalists. They were giving grades and also explaining the basic faults in things. What Walker found very surprising was that Gil's mother had made her way to be a judge in the growing portion happening nearby the central arena.

'ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ No(v) e lBin ᴏɴʟʏ.',

She was a farmer and had many skills that revolved around how fast she could grow what and to what quality. That meant that she had more than enough experience to understand where someone would have gone wrong and how to fix it. This was a major learning chance for all of them.

Where things really began to ramp up in learning was when the demi-human farmers stepped in to join Gil's mother in judging. No one had seen Gil's mother around the mansion for a few days and it was clear why. She had been with the demi-human farmers sharing their growing techniques and skills. It was an incredibly valuable chance for more than just the herbalists to learn and grow.

Scylla had been the one to approach the alchemy guild about having the demi-human framer brought from her home city so that it would build better connections. There was also the secondary chance for the farmers that came from the demi-human fields to train the new farmers just starting around Genesis. They paired perfectly with the master herbalists already recruited by the alchemy guild.

Moving to the first arena that had begun potion making, Walker was not surprised to see that some fire mages had entered the competitions. Just because they were not alchemists did not mean that they would lack the ability to make potions.

This was the same with the few healers that had also joined the competition. They had the skills to make basic salves and some would even have a hybrid skill group that allowed them to use some minor healing skills that enhance their uses of medicines they made themselves low tier healing potions qualified as medicines they made themselves which meant that a low tier healing potion may have the same effect as a mid tier healing potion.

There was also the fact that the high priest had vouched for the healers that had asked to enter. Most people within the alchemy guild had forgotten the fact that the cathedral also purchased a great deal of herbs used for medicines. It was another route that they could pursue in their research.

Looking in to the stands, many of the healers and nuns were there to cheer on their friends. Even the high priest was sitting in the middle with a proud but slightly sad expression. Walker knew exactly why this was. Alice had already left with the other healers on her leave from the cathedral to help a smaller village. It was a major step for her and Walker had not stood in her way at all. He just wished he could have gone with her.

Refocusing his mind, Walker allowed himself to open his senses to the elemental mana around. He had to focus on the fire elemental mana so that he would be able to stop any of it from running amok. Not every alchemist had the skills to control the temperature. Some were left with the old school method of lowering the temperature by removing fuel from the fire.

In just a few moments, the high water mage had already jumped in to stop a fire in one cauldron. The young alchemist had heated it too fast causing it to burst in to flames. The young alchemist appeared to have been too nervous to double check what he had been doing. It was unfortunate however, it was a valuable lesson. They would be able to learn more before the next competition would be held.

"The second arena has begun to create their potions! The first successful potion has been made!" Remey sounded a little surprised. However, the boy that had brought up the successful low tier healing potion was one that Walker had seen in the alchemy guild before. He was someone that had been there since the guild had been built.

"Not bad, that kid is always helping to move herbs. Especially the new shipments bought from merchants." One of the other passing mages was a member of the guild already. He was nowhere near master alchemist but he was experienced enough to where he didn't need to worry about participating.

"Good to hear that someone has been learning in the best way that they can." Walker could tell that the boy had used his hard work to learn more before the competition. If Walker could place bets, he would bet that the boy had also attended many of the free lectures the guild had offered.

"Mordant, what do you think of all this? There are many that are attempting to enter this guild that has been created." Ignus couldn't help but feel at least a little amazed that the number of participants seemed unending.

"It's very entertaining. A mystery to me. We don't rely so much on potion. We are strong alone. We have missed out by not following this path." Mordant was thinking about the history that the dragons had. They had never put much effort in to the alchemy side of things. Now that he was seeing that the other races put so much effort in to it, he wondered what they had truly missed all these years.

"I will send some dragonkin with the potential for alchemy. They need to learn these things." Ignus saw the chance and was going to take advantage, the dragons could only get stronger.
