The floral smell that assaulted their noses when the wandering blacksmith popped the top off the crate was overpowering. Remey was the only one unaffected as she plunged in to it to get to the herbs that she wanted to grow and experiment with. Before Gil and Walker could even make a move she had already placed everything on the table.

"These are the ones I studied the most and should have a use in greenhouses. They also can be used in the experiments for making affinity boosting potions. I need the old man now!

" Remey was gone with a few herbs clutched in her hands. Walker would have followed her if he didn't have more to unpack.

The wandering blacksmith and Gil were already checking out the materials. Some were the same wind elemental materials that Gil had already collected. He was in awe at the amount of them packed in them.

"I can make a hundred arrows at least from all of this.

" The sound of his voice trembled in excitement. Walker knew that Gil would be more than busy for the next two or three days.

There were multiple cracked scales from Illia in the crate as well. Each appeared to be perfect for what the wandering blacksmith was planning on experimenting with. However, there was still the matter of Walker's weapon. They now had the centennial ice forging hammer that should be able to counter Midnight's golden flames.

What had been left in the bottom of the crate was a simple copied book. It didn't appear to be special until Walker opened it to find that Adair had left him a second volume of dragon etiquette. The funnier part was that it was written by none other than Adair herself.

"She made this just for me. I swear. She was really a lucky break.

" Walker had a great deal of respect for Adair and knew that this was more than just caring for a royal that could become powerful. It was a real friendship forming.

"How about I get Midnight and see if we can start to work on my weapon? You need t show off your new tools and hammer right?

" The wandering blacksmith just gathered up the cracked frost dragon scales and made his way outside. Gil had already organized the arrow materials and planned to sit right there in the dining room to start his production. No one would stop him and Remey would be back to clean up and organize the herbs more. Walker had nothing to stop him from getting Midnight.

The timing was lucky for him since it appeared that Su was taking a break to practice her mental strength.

"Hey, I could use your help in the forge. The components need to be made for my weapon. While you heat the fires I will try and absorb some natural mana to help get Fleur ready. I'm not sure how it will go though.

" Midnight bounded over to Walker. She had been getting bored of the training and waited to find something else.

"Good luck. I need to replenish mana and try to learn this calm mind skill. Apparently, it can be trained with the calm body skill so that I won't panic and react on instincts to run or block something I shouldn't.

" Su was struggling with the skill since it was a cooperative skill with another. Balancing mind and body would be a difficult task for everyone.

"I know you will make it work. I will leave you to it.

" Midnight and Walker left Su who was slowly trying to find the center of her being and truly understand her own body. Both skills would be perfect for her overall strength and would make he a much better guardian.

"I'm going to let you take the lead. I need to focus a lot on my natural mana absorption. If we can get the entire weapon done today then I will be able to train with it this week and be ready to use it for the journey.

" Walker was already thinking about what he would be able to do with the weapon that the wandering blacksmith thought up. However, it was all going to depend on how well they worked. There was a chance this wouldn't work at all.

The pair entered the forge and were greeted with the entire inside being rearranged. There was ample space now to move and work along with a singular work table instead of multiple. The wandering blacksmith had a pile of stacked diamond shaped plates the size of his hand next to him. Walker knew that they would be forged then engraved with runes once tempered using Midnight's golden flames.

There was also the moldable crystal ball which Walker would be responsible for altering to house every single elemental mana. The other materials were all around and had been prepared properly for an easier and more efficient process. The tools were also lined up in the order that they would be used.

'Burst stone coal

This is a rare form of coal used in the desert land to create tougher items. The coal is specially brought through the flame mountain pass and sold to forge masters. This coal burns for triple the length of time and shatters when heated to a certain degree. This released condensed earth elemental mana which allows the item being forged to be more malleable before it cools and hardens stronger and much more dense than before.'

"Burst stone coal? I have never heard of it before now. I assume you have a hidden stash for special items?

" Walker couldn't help but be impressed by how sneaky the wandering blacksmith was. This burst stone coal was going to make their creation all that much better. There was only a small smirk as the wandering blacksmith tossed some coal in tot the forge furnace and Midnight took a deep breath to light it. The process had begun.
