"It was a little weird that Rey was asking so much about the fla elves and their alchemy history the other day, right?" Gil still felt off about it. Like he had been used for information when Rey had suddenly decided not to change whatever her plans were to join he and Alma. He had thought she would decide to co with them after learning such things.
"She was looking in to how they used alchemy fire. Didn't you realize?" Alma knew that Gil was smarter than that. He had a major affinity for archery and could figure out the complications of making elental arrows without training. It was a genius level archery skill. But he still missed important things around him.
"Well…I don't have much to do with fire and stuff. I know the records your city had made the fla elves out to be fire elental archers with specified fire mages. But the flas of different levels didn't make much sense." For those without in depth understanding of fire, they would miss out on why the fla elves were so unique.
"The fla elves have solely focused on fire. Unlike the mages from my ho who separated them and tried to balance them with each other in a team. The fla elves discovered the levels of fire. They know dragon fire reigns near or at the top, but adding their secondary weak affinities they have managed to alter flas. Alchemy fire is one such situation." The history that Alma had morized was radically larger than most people could even dream of.
"The fla elves should be able to master blue flas and purple flas as well. I can't say I fully grasp the differences but the ghostly blue flas have been said to be slow but extrely hot. Their enforcers are more mages than archers." This was striking to Gil since he was sure that the fla elves would have archery enforcers too.
"So it might not be just alchemy that Rey has in mind. She could be trying to do more with her fighting too." The pieces clicked together in Gil's mind. He was sure that Rey would be totally alchemy focused.
"That's exactly right. You said that she can use the alchemy fire with her punches now. You showed her the books that had the fla elves using fire as armor. So why wouldn't she want to learn? We might even get to et a fla knight while there. They are pretty rare though." Alma wanted to et all the kinds of system users from the fla elves. The records that the first elves had were fairly lacking compared to the water elves.
"It will still be a little ti for us to make it there. But for now, let test out a few things." Gil had not been sure what his arrows would do within the lava filled area. The pathways were clearly marked since every adventurer or rchant traveling took it upon themselves to mark out safe trails. It was one important factor for the area.
Gil had his water elental arrows and knew that they might not work the sa way in this environnt. The ice that would form was dependent on the water in the area he fired them in. "Just make sure you don't anger any monsters around here. They might not like soone firing off arrows like crazy." Alma knew that the four enforcers she had brought were hiding away in the surroundings. They Needed to hear her warning clearly.
"Everything should be fine. I touched base with the mages to ask about elental reactions. I have also seen Walker training. He is able to mix elental mana but the reactions that happen while he does it can teach you a lot." Just watching high natural mana be ford was very telling when it ca to how the elental manas mixed.
"Maybe I will pay attention next ti I am invited to train at your mansion." Su had invited Alma to train before but she had been too busy. Now she was tempted to ask Su to train just to see what Walker was capable of and if she could grasp so understanding of elental mana she may have missed.
"This is a water elental arrow but it forms a spike of ice. I have no idea what it will do here.." The water elental wither spike arrow was pulled back before Alma could offer her ideas of what might happen. The release of the arrow sent it flying fairy nearby. But it still landed next to a lava pool.
Instead of water gathering and creating a spike, the arrow seed to just burn up. "So it's a lost-" The lava in the pool suddenly cooled and hardened before slowly lting again. "So I created a temporary stepping stone. That's great." This was unexpected but very useful. Gil could use this to cross dangerous areas.
"Very good. Water is not useless but you lost an arrow so be wary of your limits." The enforcers also witnessed this encounter and knew that Alma was speaking to them. If they used their arrows they would be risking losing them. They could not recover and battle consistently.
"Even the fire arrows might do that. But what about the damage they cause?" Gil already drew and released the fire elental wither spike arrow while speaking. It landed further away since Gil feared the reaction.
The fear was warranted. The arrow landed and caused a very large burst of flas before burning the arrow to ashes. "Exactly as I thought. Faster burst of fire, less chance of recovery, but perfect for stunning an enemy. Even if the enemy is a fire affinity monster!" These experints were making Gil feel like he had discovered archery all over again. It was all too exciting.
