Master Of None Chapter 1152 - 1152. Pushing Through

Pushing through to the alchemy guild was the hardest challenge of the day. Walker found that so many people had co from far and wide to try and join so that they could participate in the competition in a few months. They were sure that they would be able to fall under one of the best master alchemists and beco the next great alchemist to walk the world.

So were there because they had reached the limits of their current knowledge and experints. They knew that they would be able to learn more and push through their hardships to discover their next path. Then there were the herbalists. Many had found that their city's were too crowded or that the herbs they grew needed round the clock care. The alchemy guild allowed for other trusted and skilled herbalists to watch the important herbs. That alone was enough to attract skilled herbalists.

Many people filled the front hall discussing ideas and trying to trade things with each other. It was clear that Trish had hired more elves that respected her to work in the guild since they had a better understanding of herbs in general. Walker even spotted so of the appraisal experts from the Garnet family helping with appraising various herbs. It seed that the Garnet family had cast off the idea that they would only be auctioning and working with rchants. They were not working with guilds causing them to be better known and more well rounded in general.

"Sir hero. How are you today? Do you need any assistance?" One of the staff mbers ran past the counter and right to Walker as soon as they noticed him fighting for a space to get in. Art first so in line were angry that they were ignored but when they heard how Walker was addressed they made room. They knew that it was best to curry favor with soone known as a hero since they could change the way the city treated them in a few words. Not that Walker was going to influence anyone any which way. He preferred to see the hard working and determined rise to greater heights. It was only fair.

"I was going to share so of the herbs and herb seeds that I found at the water elf lakes with Rey, but maybe it is too busy for to interrupt her. I didn't expect things to be this crazy around here." The staff mber hurriedly shook their head. They were sure that Rey would have their job if they didn't bring Walker with them to give her the herbs and seeds.

"I will lead you there right away. Please just follow . She is in the middle of a short class that should be ending soon. I believe the topic was foraging for herbs and the equipnt needed." It sounded like a good basic course for new alchemists and made a lot of sense. This was the first place for alchemists to co together and learn proper techniques without the need to pay for a master alchemist to be their teacher. Many alchemists that were not supported by nobles could now learn.

The people in line let Walker go buy without any issue. Many actually made note of his face so that they could offer greetings and try to get in to a good relationship with him. They wanted to be able to say that they had the support of a hero and one of the founders of Genesis. That alone would make them stand out over many of the other alchemists, rchants, and herbalists.

"Now, tell . If you find purple thorns with yellow flowers, do you pick them bare handed? If not, what do you wear? Leather gloves? Chainmail gloves? Or do you coat your hands in grease?" Rey was sure that this was going to trip so people up. She had just distributed the basic alchemist guide the day before. She had spent a hefty sum of the guild funds to print a large number of copies to give out for free to every low level alchemist that ca and successfully registered.

"Grease! The poison is water soluble and will absorb in to your skin. But if you cover your hands in grease then even if the thorns pierce your skin the grease that touched the thorn with block the poison inside the thorn." The girl that answered Rey was very sure of herself.

"That is another correct answer for you. I expect you to keep up the hard studying. If you have the ti I hope you form a study group with so of the other students here. Working together will get you much further than studying alone." The class would have turned on this girl if Rey did not say this. The girl had answered many questions perfectly. Now that Rey guided her to start a group the other students could learn with them against each other.

The staff mber managed to get Rey's attention and Rey pointed at Walker coming in the food. "As you all know, this is my party mber Walker. He just returned from the water elf lakes and I am sure he has sothing interesting to show off. You are all very lucky that he ca in at the end of my lesson. That ans you get to see what he wants to show off first hand. I expect you all to take notes!" Rey used this to her advantage. She also used it so that she would have an excuse to see the herbs and seeds first hand. It was a good way to hide her excitent and also get what she wanted sooner.

"I could never say no to my party's alchemical brawler. She makes all the potions for the party and is an indispensable mber. You should see her in action one day!" Walker threw so expectations right back at Rey before he started to pull more things from his storage.
