With their errands finished the three headed back. The entire walk back to the mansion Walker took notice of every single guard. There were five patrols that passed them by which was nearly triple what would normally be in the area for the time of day.

Walker was overcome by the sight of a master alchemist's lab. The amount of herbs and different tools he had never seen in this entire life was impressive. The smell of powerfully refined and dried herbs was much stronger than the little shop downstairs. This alone spoke volumes to the difference in quality. The cauldron in the middle of the room was the same as the one he had cleaned at the mansion, the only difference was that it was in perfectly spotless condition. "Well take a look around, I will…

"Now, I know that was a lot but crime does happen. You two were pretty great there helping those two. I thought that things would end poorly when those others showed themselves. But you two managed things well. Let's leave it to the guards." The old man took a more gentle tone than he often used knowing that the two had not often been in such a situation, this was clear on their faces.

"Remey, go all out and avoid the buildings!" Walker made the call with his courage built up/. He had already reached the range of their opponents. They were outnumbered and if the two of them held back then they could be on the losing end of this fight. The strange part was that they did not keep running but instead decided to fight.

"What do you mean grooves? The old man will kill us if there are cracks on even one cauldron. Ugh, this isn't fair we never even used them and we ended up left with something broken." Remey complained loudly as she walked over to where Walker had been scrubbing. She knew that the old man would go full on strict alchemist mode and punish them even if they had not been the ones to damage a cauldron. "Let me-" Remey stopped talking and sprinted to the alchemy lab. Walker stood there with his jaw dropped at…

"Walker, I found them!" Su yelled for Walker as she came around and in to the forge. She took in the sight of all their materials and eagerly held out another paper with ideas and design to the wandering blacksmith. He grabbed them with excitement plain on his face. He had been waiting to see the finalized ideas so he could make their dreams in to realities. The challenged that were presented to him in this way were his reason for smithing.

The table was much more lively than usual, the old man was picking Jane's brain for all the knowledge on the new plants they were growing. The details she had were better than any book Walker had read. With her skills she was able to take away growth rates and nutrients needed for each sprout she saw, it was the farmers version of an appraisal skill. With every small detail learned it was almost compared to an earth shaking presentation for the old man. There was no doubt in anyone's mind that he would be…
