Alice knew how valuable armor and such was. The cost could get much higher than she was able to afford. Yes, she worked and was raised in the cathedral which rarely lacked funds, but they were not for her to use. They were to heal and protect people. Gold was donated to help others not to further and fill the healers' desires.
"I wish there was a light elental spirit that wanted to form a dwelling weapon for Alice and partner with her but that doesn't seem to be possible now. Maybe in the future. I just want it to protect her and be able to allow her to swim and properly survive underwater. I know that makes things more challenging." Asking for last minute armor was a hefty ask for any blacksmith. But Walker trusted the wandering blacksmith and knew that he would accept no matter what.
"A good challenge." The wandering blacksmith had been setting things up and was glad to hear the challenge. He had worried that he would spend all of his ti alone and bored while the city was set up. Unlike the other blacksmiths, he was better with weapons and armors due to his experience. Building materials were less of his forte. Not that he couldn't make them.
Now that he had a challenge, he would be able to focus on sothing and potentially set himself up with a seasoned forge. He could wait on the project he had been working on in the future crafters' guild's guild master office for a few days.
"I hope there is sothing you can do. We leave in three days." This seed to be excited the wandering blacksmith even more. It was a true challenge worth the strength of his skills. The last challenge had been the eternal orb and nothing was ever going to top it. Mostly because this was sothing that required multiple participants to craft. But this was a challenge that the wandering blacksmith could take on alone with his own skills.
"I am also going to ask Lisa for so light elental rune sewn clothing. Hopefully, she can manage but if not I will look for an alternative." There was part of Walker that told him he should not be bothering others with this. But another part of him scread that he had to do everything in his power to make sure that Alice remained safe.
"Send here here." The wandering blacksmith wanted Lisa to co to him which ant that he had an idea. The idea must have been good because Walker could see his mind running.
"I will, thank you." Walker stepped back as the wandering blacksmith did a few circles around Alice to be sure he could make everything to the proper size and shape. After a mont he nodded and grabbed so paper to sketch. Walker knew this was his ti to leave and let him work.
There was a lot on Alice's mind while they walked back down the stairs and out of the future crafters' guild building. She wanted to tell Walker that he didn't need to push so far for him. However, she also found that she like the drive he was showing to make sure that she would remain safe. It lightened her body and made her heart race.
"I'm pretty sure that Lisa has been locked in her workshop since we finished moving everything over. Let's see what she says." The first knock on the locked door brought nothing. The second though brought the sound of soone jumping p in surprise. There was a short fumbling of the lock and a blurry eyed Lisa greeted them. "Or she fell asleep and just never left her bed of fabrics for a few days."
"Hey, I have a lot to do here. I am going to be the top seamstress in the city!" Lisa protested as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. The show room that she had started to put together already had a myriad of elegant designs in multiple colors. The simple shirts that had rune designs were made in ways that they could easily fit under other clothing so that they were inconspicuous. There was even one pure white dress that seed to be the centerpiece for the entire show room.
"Wow…you have been working really hard. It all looks amazing." For just a mont Walker was stunned by the skills his sister had in making so many items of clothing. He rembered what he was there for and forced himself to be serious. Lisa did not miss this change in Walkers' deanor. "I was hoping you could make sothing with light elental runes on it. The wandering blacksmith wants to work with you since I asked him for armor that Alice can wear when she cos with to defeat a monster."
Walker knew that Lisa would figure out what they were going to battle late but at the mont it was best not to share the details of what or why. She would just worry and stress herself out more. Not to ntion she was very excited to start up and fully prepare her shop. "I already made Alice a lot of clothing. Isn't she going to join you on a lot of adventures?" Both of them were caught by surprise. Alice and Walker didn't realize that Lisa had thought of sothing like that. "I will bring them over to his forge. I will show off soon!?" Lisa pushed the two out the door.
"She's a good sister." Alice felt that Walker had won the little sister lottery. anwhile, Walker was thinking that he definitely had the best little sister there was.
"I know I just pulled you around everywhere, but let's go to the training field behind the mansion. There's a lot we should try out." This was the final test to see how to best keep track of Alice in a battle.
