The walk to the lower tier was uneventful. They had learned that traveling early in the morning was the best way to go so they truly enjoyed their walk.

The party was traveling down the street with the forge in their view. It looked like they had just gotten a delivery of ores as a carriage was parked outside. A pair of strong looking smiths wee unloading crates full of the ores. Some shined silvery others a dark black. These must be the basics to create the common steal items produced here.

The party stopped by the carriage being unloaded " Gil of you take the crystals inside to sell and buy dark crystals that would let us go to the alchemist guild. It should save us a little time." Walker wanted to find a good quest as soon as possible to optimize their new found potions.

"Sure thing, it'll be easier for one person to get in there while they are unloading anyways" Gil took the crystals from walker and headed in.

As Remey turned to head in to the alchemy building a man carrying two crates came around the corner of the carriage.

"Ahh ugh" the man stubbed his foot in the wheel of the carriage and the too crate began to slide and fall out of his hands.

A crate full of ores was falling over Remeys head "quick guard!" Su used her skills to get her shield over Remey the last second the crate began to fall but her shield was being pushed back.

"I've got you!" Walker seeing this happening jumped forward to help push the crate off the shield.

Thunk Creeack

The crate hit the ground with a thud and cracked. The weight could have seriously Injured Remey.

"Hey you oaf you could have hurt me you know that!" Remey cracked her knuckles starting to reprimand the man. "Do you even know that I was there? Could you even see me?" Walker joined in the Adrenaline fueling him for the moment.

" you need to carry less of you can't see in front of you! What if it was a child running by? Who would have explained to their parents?." The mana face immediately became pale. He apologized profusely promising he wouldn't be rushing things again. However they didn't hold any true ill will towards him knowing it was an accident and helped gather the contents of the cracked and broken crate that had fallen. After a few moments the man returned to work.

"Well that was a wake up call for sure!" Walker was now on high alert after this spike in energy." He looked over at Remey and Su who were smiling like fools. "What? Is there something in my face?" Walker wasn't sure what was going on.

Remey and Su looked at each other as said in unison "daily quest complete!" Su had protected Remey with walkers help and the scolding from Remey and walker had brought down definitely showed an unyielding will. "Huh so I guess Remeys mom mode in scolding really shows her will." Walker teased Remey making her blush and raise her fist threateningly.

"Ugh if you want to get beat stay here, if you want to get those herbs figured out follow me. I'm fine if you don't though." Remey stuck her tongue out at walker and walked in to the alchemist building.

The same smell and scene appeared as the last time they had gone to the building and it caused walker to feel more at home and relaxed. The same old man was sitting behind the counter drinking a steaming cup of tea. Upon seeing Remey he smiled "oh and back again because you missed me? I didn't think the hot tempered little gal like you could miss me." He laughed at his own little joke.

"Pfft keep spouting nonsense and we might not show you something good." Remey knew this was the best way to peak his interest and proceeded to fire away an air of mystery.

" and here I thought you'd just come to show off another of your party members." The old man smirked then looked at walker, "so what have you go today?"

Walker pulled the crate from his storage and placed all the dried and preserved herbs on the counter.

" Hmm from left to right you've got some purple mink flower; used for muscle cramps. Seeping vines; the sap will crystallize and is good for blood flow. Oooo you have some rock ferns they are rare; mainly used in defensive potions. Rag weed; very common to use to meld bitter ingredients in to potions for children. Babies breath; it's not a potion ingredient but a popular flour with women. Ah! You have angels wing! These seeds are extremely rare! They only grow in high elevations, the flowers look like angels wings and the pollen is amazing for enhancing the effectiveness of almost any potion. I'll buy it all!" The mana sudden outburst caused them to jump but it was clear they had something very useful.

"Well sell you half no more no less. We will be growing the remainder in our garden to use ourselves. But we could be convinced to bring some by for you when it blooms. Well also sell half of the rock fern. The rest of them well keep." Remey had going in to bartering mode stumping the old man who wanted all the angels wing seeds.

"Pfft again with you always making things tough. Fine I'll that both at half for 95G. But you're better selling the whole to me growing them is very tough." The man shook his head not believing they could possibly grow it.

"Don't you worry we have a skilled farmer, 120G because you doubt us." Remey smirked knowing the next offer would be the one to take as she drove the price too high.

"Grr you brat! Fine 105G and promise not to spill a word to anyone about this. Once it's grown it will cause a commotion in the alchemist circles. People might even try to steal it." The old man didn't like spending the extra gold but cared enough to warn them of the risks.

"I knew we could reach a reasonable deal old man, thanks for the heads up. We won't say a word." Remey grabbed the gold with a smile while walker collected the remaining herbs.

"It was nice meeting you sir, good luck with your new project." Su was very polite and this got a large smile from the old man.

"Yes my project hahaha glad to have seen another member of little Remeys party feel free to visit anytime." With that they headed out the door to join back up with Gil.
