Master Of None

Chapter 746 - 746. Two Teachers

"I think they will make a huge splash in the farming and herb growing world. I made sure to drop the hints when I was in the forest elf city so that they can make them for merchants to bring to other kingdoms. I'm pretty sure the demi-humans will buy them up the fastest since they have the most fields for farming." Walker already knew this to be true but just wanted to show off his knowledge on the water spikes future.Â

"These will help a lot, I want to start putting them in the gardens' dry spots but I can do it later. Right now it sounds like we have a gust coming." Midnight was making enough sound to alert Gil's mother of her incoming.Â

When Midnight burst in she went right to Walker waiting for the promised elemental mana crystals for her and Onyx. "Yes yes, how about some fire elemental crystals this time? Onyx can have the light and you the fire." Walker pulled out  a handful of them and made note that he should just buy more when he had the time.Â

"Lord hero? You needed me this morning?" The demon woman was a little shaken since she had not expected to be woken up by Midnight and Onyx. She was also told that she had people to meet and that managed to make her even more nervous.

"This is a master alchemist and a retired farmer who also happens to be our archers' mother. They are both extremely knowledgeable and are the reasons why the garden and the herbs that are there are flourishing brilliantly." Walker motioned for the demon woman to come in and meet the other two. However, before she could there was another person bursting in to the alchemy lab.Â

"Finally! Old man, you were asleep forever. I had to wait for you. Oh...Who's this?" Walker was not at all surprised by the fact that Remey had come rushing over. He knew that he would be on her way as soon as she knew they were all awake and in to the alchemy lab.Â

"Welcome to the party. I thought you would be asleep for dayssss" Walker exaggerated a little just to tease Remey a little. "This is a new friend who wants to learn about herbs. In particular, she is a demon that wants to grow herbs. I thought she could be a very good addition to the mansion staff one day." Walker saw that Remey grasped his meaning instantly.Â

"You can be our herbalist. You can take over the herbs one day if you manage to fulfill your quests. What do you need first?" Remey wasn't even going to hesitate and waste time bragging to the old master alchemist about the things she had learned in the forest elf kingdom. She wanted to secure someone who could grow herbs instantly.Â

"Um-mm I have to grow a single herb from seed. It says that the first step is to learn to care for the beginning of life. I have never actually grown a plant. I was found to have earth and water affinity and that was hated by the demons. I was considered a waste and brought to general Pride." They all understood and Walker recalled her mentioning this the day before.Â

"Well, we can do that. Maybe the elemental spirits Walker has around somewhere will help you out too. But they are a little excited so we might not see them for a little while. They went off exploring as soon as we walked in to the city." Remey was sure that this demon would be a great herbalist one day since she had a good affinity for growing plants.Â

"Dear, what's your name? I can't just call you demon while we garden." Gil's mother was sure she would need to call the name often and wanted to show respect as an equal and a teacher.Â

"I was never worthy to have one. Most of us were taken as soon as we were old enough to get our affinity tested. Worthless things don't deserve names'¦" This made all of their hearts twang in pain. Hearing something so cruel was just another reason for them to go against the corruption of demons.Â

"Well, do you want to pick one? We have plenty of names that could fit someone with the desire to grow herbs and help others." Remey wasn't just going to let the demon woman have no name. It was not how equals stood here.Â

"I don't...know." The woman had no idea how to name herself or what she would even like to be called.Â

"Lewisia." The old master alchemist was looking right at the demon woman. "It is a flower that is symbolized as rebirth and new beginnings. It has red and yellow tones in these parts and matches the hair you have. I think it will fit well." No one had expected him to come up with a name. He had just been standing silently watching things progress.Â

"It's a beautiful name. I have never seen a flower like that. Can you show me?" The demon woman accepted it graciously. She couldn't imagine that a flower would ever be related to someone deemed useless and weak. There was almost a tear in her eyes but she held them back. She couldn't let herself fall in to a mess of emotions at the start of a new life.Â

"Lewisia, welcome to the mansion and the family. You're going to learn a lot here." Remey was more excited than the others.

"Well, let's choose what you want to grow and the herbs you will have a chance to work with." Walker went to the main work table and began pulling the seeds, herbs, and other materials for alchemy that Remey had made him store away. The old master alchemists' eyes grew wide as he saw so many that he had never seen before.
