Master Of None

Su started off by showing Walker all the food stalls she had browsed the day before. He had wildly underestimated her love for sweet breakfast foods and was soon stuffed beyond what he needed. The only positive was that he had missed two meals the day before and was actually very hungry.

"The place I found yesterday is very interesting. It is a shop that specifically crafts clothing. The trick is they weave patterns that attract mana in to the fabric. They make very beautiful and ornate designs that I think would be considered high class at home." This was surprising to Walker who had not expected Su to take an interest in regular clothing. 

She practically dragged him to the shop which had many hanging swatches of fabric or shirts and pants hanging on display. There were also some thin cloaks that could be worn in the summer. To Walker, it appeared these were mostly for show. But he started to sense that these were made in a way that attracted specific elemental manas. 

"This blue one is for the elves that maintain the gardens. It helps them bond well with the water elemental spirits. This green one has both earth and water elemental attraction to help those who plant the seeds and foster their growth. Oh, and this one-"

"Is that our new friend Su back again so soon?" A very thin woman came out and smiled at Su. 

"Yes miss, I wanted to show my party leader the clothing you make. I thought he would find it interesting since his sister is a seamstress. I am not sure if she would be able to learn something like you do, but it can be inspirational." Su had more than just the benefits the clothing could give to them in mind.

"Ah yes, a normal seamstress would have a lot of trouble doing what I can do with my elemental seamstress system. But it is not impossible. She might be able to lay the foundation of the patterns then have some unique needles made that can infuse mana in to the fabric. Then there is a chance if they work hard enough for the same effects." The thin elf woman was very informative when it came to what she was speaking about. It was like a parent educating a group of children in kindness.

"I do agree with Su, these are very well made. I am glad she brought me." Walker laid the compliment down while memorizing the information to share with Lisa. He was amazed by how many things he was learning to bring back and share with not only his family but also the entire kingdom. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course you can. I would fail in my job if I didn't answer a customer's question." The woman had already seen the sale in Walker's future. She was running a business after all. 

"Are there any patterns that attract all mana and can be easily worn under what I am wearing now?" he was thinking that having a thin shirt that could attract all the elemental mana types to him would speed up his use of magic skills. Su smiled because she knew this exact question would leave his mouth.

"I could make something like that. But it would be very challenging, the price would be a little high. The patterns need to be placed in a way that they won't interfere with each other. But that is not a challenge for someone like me."  The woman patted her arm muscle jokingly. 

"Then could I bother you for an undershirt? I would also be willing to purchase thin scarves with each elemental pattern on it." Walker thought that the scarves would be perfect learning material for Lisa along with useful accessories for Gil's mother when she worked in the garden.

"I already have scarves like that. They are only twenty five gold each. They are basic accessories for many who tend to the trees." Walker was even more surprised by the price. It was very cheap compared to what he believed it would sell for in his kingdom. But it made sense since the accessories were considered common accessories here in the elf city.

"That sounds fine by me. I made sure to bring appropriate funds. Would you like me to pay for the other item now?" 

"No no, just wait until you come back. I will need a day and a half to make it properly." The thin woman started to pack up scarves she had hanging around. She gave Su a wink that Walker managed to catch out of the corner of his eye. He knew that Su must have told her he would be doing just what he had done.

"Now go and explore a little. I know you must be excited to see what we have built our city to be." The woman sounded exceptionally proud to have guests in the city. Walker could see her face brimming with Pride. 

Su pulled him along pointing to another food stall nearby. Walker wondered just how much more he could eat before he burst." I knew you would find that shop interesting. The woman who runs it very nice. She suggested a few places for me to visit and even introduced me to a craftsman who works on accessories. He has a system called the rune smith. I think it could be very useful to learn about." 

Walker heard this and immediately became interested. He had seen the wandering blacksmith carve runes and knew it to be a magical addition to tools and gear. But he also knew that it was a skill only certain craftsmen could learn. The average blacksmith would not be able to add runes to gear. But a magical or master blacksmith would be able to without issue.
