"You want to buy pieces of the great tree so you can carve them in to arrows?" The radiant light elf that Gil had been directed to was one that seed to think he was crazy. It was even worse that Gil was standing there acting like he had asked sothing perfectly normal.
"It’s to make the best light affinity arrows I possibly can. I also want to know if I can get any seeds or seedlings from the white maple. That way I can bring them back to my ho and the elves there can also try to grow a white maple like this one. It might take a lot of ti but I am sure we could grow at least one."
While his sincerity was sothing to be a little accepting of, the questions were hard to answer since this was not sothing the radiant light elves ever traded away or offered. ’The wood is always used for hos, magical staffs, or the archival books protected by the keeper of our archive. We have never given it away to an outsider. The seedlings are stored and they are given to the guardians who visit to be planted far away and help the balance of the light elental plane."
The response was not solid but questioning like if seed this answer was correct. However, the radiant light elf that was standing at the base of the ancient white maple and had what seed to be an outdoor office managing the number of lengths of ancient white maple grown and harvested along with any seeds found. Their job was important so that they could keep on track with what was being rebuilt or what the radiant light elves needed. This report would go right to the elders for their next eting.
"I am one of the elves leading the entire elven race in the world. It would not just be for but the people I lead. It could also be a chance to plant trees that would help your people stay in the world longer for your visits. The light dragon territory is focused on light mana it just needs a little growth to be ideal for your people."
This was the way that Gil was going to make it clear that he was not just being selfish and grabbing materials for himself. Yes, he wanted to make sure that he was able to experint with a few of the arrows of light affinity that he already had and compare them to what he could carve and prepare using the ancient white maple wood. However, using the seeds to potentially harvest lesser quality white maple wood would still be ideal. It would also co with the fact that these trees might be able to live harmoniously with the light elental spirit tree within the light dragon territory.
If that was the case, there would be a growth in that territory and potentially a bonus to the whaling and light elental related learning that happened there. Everything that he wanted to push forward would also grow. Specifically, the bonds with the radiant light elves.
Not only would having white maple trees within Genesis territory allow for there to be a familiar place for the radiant light elves who visited, it would also help keep more light mana denser in that area. This in turn would an that the radiant light elves would not be as negatively affected by the lack of dense and pure light mana in the world. Therefore, they would be able to share more between their cultures when they visited the world.
It also ant that in the long run, the radiant light elves develop more resistances to other manas. aning that the younger generations whose parents had been to the world would pass that on. Having children who would be able to stay in the world longer and longer.
"We are in need of so items as well. If you can manage to show us herbs that would be hard for us to get or materials-" Gil began placing items he had made Walker leave him for this exact reason. He was not so foolish to believe that he would not have to trade or pay anything up front for the ability to take such valuable wood or valuable seeds from the radiant light elves.
As Gil managed to stun the few radiant light elves in charge of the materials harvested from the ancient white maple, Rey was fishing that she was a little lost.
"I don’t understand why you don’t rely on alchemy even more deeply. You are growing so valuable herbs that can be used to make light affinity potions, light attuned healing potions, and even make light affinity nutrient potions to encourage better growth for other light elental herbs."
The radiant light elf alchemists she had managed to hunt out and speak to were looking at her as if they were hearing all of this for the first ti. "The light healing potions are easily made. We make many of them for the people we need to make them for. We don’t need to make many for anyone though, we do not face threats often." The alchemists were speaking with clear ignorance.
The ignorance wasn’t in their skill or even in their understanding. It was in the fact that they had never been pressured to produce more potions. To learn new formulas to push for better this or that. They had been isolated and safe. aning that they were not threatened by monsters or world ending dangers causing them to advance their alchemical knowledge. The sa could be said for their herbalists. They relied too much on safety.
"You all have people that will be traveling to the world. Do you know that there will be dangers leaving them without limbs, bleeding out on the ground, without mana, or even just wishing they were dead instead of alive out there? That is the wilderness, your potions and herbs are the very things preventing them from being a na lost to history instead of emissaries carrying the will of your people."
Her words were harsh. They didn’t fall on deaf ears nor did they get countered with any argunts. Instead, the radiant light elf alchemists all froze in place looked at her as if they had just been slapped with a reality they’d never considered.
Right now, as alchemists, you should be thinking about the future. With your people’s alliance with Genesis that ans travel, exploration, and trade. Three things you need to begin preparing for as alchemists. What will you do when I show you a potion you’ve never seen before?" This hit them again with a logic they had not considered.
This wasn’t sothing they had considered before. But the very sa conversations were happening with Su and Alice. They’d both managed to et multiple radiant light elves after Alice’s performance. Alice’s usage of light in her songs had attracted the light mages and also healers.
They’d been calm and spoken about the use of light that they could mix with illusions, but the healers seed relaxed and without any focus. It had made both Alice and Su to halt the entire casual conversation. By the ti they’d gotten to healing was done here, it was all too clear that experience and preparation were missing.
The push to explain that with this new alliance injured travelers of both radiant light elves and other races from the world itself. It was a worry that the injured might appear without the healers here being ready enough or able enough to save them.
The radiant light elves didn’t have enough events where they faced larger injuries or mass injuries. The trade was small here but would increase with their new alliance. The building was not much but light pick up with people staying and resting in the city that never had before. Not to ntion how many injuries would co as travelers or rchants ca to get assistance.
This wasn’t even considering other light affinity races who would be looking to co here once they too gained a bond with Genesis. If they prepared now, the radiant light elves would be so much more prepared for when the Genesis emissaries arrived. The benefit in this would be that the alliance between the radiant light elves and Genesis would be imnsely stronger.
While all these changes and the educational monts happened, Walker was imrsed in the archive. Books were everywhere detailing everything that the radiant light elves had learned. So were vague while others were detailed. One thing was extrely important though, there was information about the elental war. Stories told about the era of chaos where beings of greater power ran rampant amongst every single elental plane after the world had been cut off from them.
