Master Of None

Remey was pointing to the second potion on the table. The glass and liquid inside were completely clear. The younger alchemist didn't even hesitate as a smile formed on his face. He thought that he had just gotten extremely lucky since this potion was guaranteed to be what he said it was. 

"I can't believe you would try and trick us with a failed low tier mana potion. The mana drained out during the mixing process and we are left with a clear potion that barely adds a single mana point in recovery." 

"Remey again didn't say a word and looked at Rob for his answer. The younger alchemist was sure of the guess he had made. This time he had replicated Rob and just observed so that he would look even more dependable and professional. It was his pride on the line after all.

However, in contrast, Rob grabbed the potion and held it up to the light. There were a few hmms' and huhs' as Rob ruined it multiple angles in the light to get a full depth of what this might be."This isn't really a potion by traditional means. It is just salt and water mixed together." Rob spoke with confidence while setting the potion down and waiting for Remey to confirm. 

"That is exactly right. That is what is left of some slime body and the basic potion that will need to be mass produced to flight off the slimes constantly." Remey was certain that this was going to trip them up. It used to be a potion but was now a side effect of the potion. 

"Really? It creates salt water when the two mix? That will be tough on tools since salt water will rust metals faster. Thank you." Rob was thankful to hear how this would influence the tools he used along with the tools the other dwarves would use. It would mean that for a short time the slimes would still be doing unintentional damage to the golems that hunted them.

 "So that was a trick? Are you trying to make us fail?" The younger alchemist hit the nail on the head. Remey was exactly trying to make them fail. It was because she wouldn't want anyone that could just mix and harvest. She needed someone with inquisitive and innovative ideas to make potions and teach others. 

"Now, we have one more potion left. If you can tell me what it is I might give it to you." Remey slightly tapped a larger purple potion. It was the most difference between the three which made the other two more interested. The best was definitely saved for last. 

The younger alchemist looked at Rob but found that Rob was also lost. They were both slowly trying to get a single hint on what the purple potion could be and who it had such a thick glass around ut with rines carved in the bottle. 

The two took turns opening and sniff the potion while also holding it up to the light to examine what else it might be. The color didn't seem to change when exposed to the light but Rob could tell there was something more about it. "What is making me wonder is the fact there are darkness elemental runes all over the bottle. If that's the case then it is a light sensitive potion.": 

The younger alchemist took Rob's words and began to run through everything in his mind about potions that needed to be closed in darkness elemental mana. Many different thoughts ran through Robs' mind as he tried to figure out what Remey could be showing them. He looked at all the herbs and continued to realize that there were multiple that would cause a potion to rune possible and need to be store with as little light as possible. The only problem was that the potion that came to mind were not able to be made. 

"This was in no way made here." Rob accused Remey and the younger alchemist froze with his jaw dropped. It was clear that Remey had actually done this when she smiled and nodded her head. "And what do you think it does?" She was eager to hear what Rob said about this. 

"It doesn't replenish mana or health but boosts the body. From the fact that I can see everything through it but in a purple haze. This means it is used to the darkness elemental mana. I believe it to enhance vision in some way." Robert made this bold claim. 

"You are correct. I did not make this here but in the forest elf city. It is a night vision potion and can be considered fairly valuable around here. Especially since it is made with elven herbs." Remey waved for Rob to take and keep the potion. 

"I will experiment on this but I would like to see the elven herbs and make a determination on what can be done with them and what ratios make up this potion." Rob had been caught by curiosity., The second he heard elven herbs was the second that he was sold on whatever Remey was planning. 

"Then you should join the alchemy guild as a master alchemists working with me. We are building the first building in Genesis city which is where the Genesis alliance will call home." Remey knew she had already sold Rob on this but was waiting for the official answer. 

"I would be a fool to say anything other than yes. I would like to join and be a founding member." With that Remey had accomplished another goal. 

'But don't you need the kings' permission for something like that?" The younger alchemist was shocked that this could happen. 

"The dwarves will eventually join the alliance. This is just preparation." Remey winked at the younger alchemist and began to gather ingredients for the basic potion she was going to teach them. She had adequately caught their attention and would be able to teach the new potion easily.
