Walkers'' return to the main hall was not unnoticed. Many of the elders, merchants, and enforcers looked at him for a moment. Gil and Onyx were looking over a round table that had been brought in. The table was covered in documents that guild master Ibis was exining to enforcers.


    "This rule here is one that controls the rankings of the adventurers. They are only able to take quests at levels applicable to their ranking within the guild. A stone tier adventurer would bever take a gold tier quest. However, the guild master must sign off on any exceptions. This is not a rule that can be changed or ignored."


    Walker saw that this was an important exnation as the enforcers were also speaking here and there in the hope it could rte to their own rankings and what they would add or subtract. It was also clear that there would be another guild master unique to the forest elf city.


    For the moment Walker chose to bypass Gil and Onyxs'' group and looked at Midnight and Remys''. This was due to the roar he had heard and the looks of frustration that were on the merchants'' and elders'' faces.


    "I am in a short intermission. Since you are all having some disagreement maybe another set of ears could set things straight." Walker casually walked over to the other table which had many proposals for the items and times of trading. It appeared that there was a disagreement on who would bring what first.


    "We believe that it would make more sense for the elves to send their merchants with the king to journey back to the kingdom. It would be safer and begin trading early."One of the leading merchants spoke out.


    "And we believe that this could slow the merchantsing here to get new items. They shoulde and learn about the culture behind the items before they are brought and purchased blindly by human nobles."


    The elders seemed to be afraid that the elven merchants would be ignored and the items purchased as simple trophies. This was an understandable worry since it was likely to happen.


    "You see ourproblem then?" Markus Raven had remained silent since his main purpose was finding the middle ground for prices since the two kingdoms would value different things at different prices.


    "The way it sounds is that you all speaking about every single item that the elves have here being sent at once. That is a poor idea. The merchants should first take a small number of items all that are valuable to the growth of a different aspect of the kingdom." Walker''s idea was enough to get them all thinking.


    "Like I said. Bring that water spike and the clothing. The clothing would attract mages and the nobles. The water spikes the farmers and alchemists." Remey spoke again. This time there were those that listened to her and Midnight rested her head back on her front legs.


    "What of the other crystal items? We could sell them for high prices at auctions. Or we could make them a studied resource for a few months." The merchant wanted these items to be sent first but Walker was shaking his head.


    "Those should be saved untilter. By the looks of Remey''s face she was already saying this but you ignored her." Walker looked to Remey, "Remey, why do you believe this?"


    "The crystals crafts and weapons are something unique to the elves and the longer that stays that way the better. Too many at once could shock the people and change the way people value other things. It would be like selling a high potion at the same price as a low tier potion. The low tier potions would be seen as trash."


    The idea was fair and made more sense now that the merchants and elders were listening carefully. Having their full attention Remey continued her role as the watcher of this group.


    "Bring the dual elemental mana crystals first. They are valuable within our kingdom and are seen as such. This would establish a very solid foundation for the high quality of goods from the elven city. From there the crystal weapons and items can be discovered by merchants thate here and can properly learn about them from those who create them." Remey stopped and looked satisfied at the expressions of the merchants.


    ''Ui agree that it would be wise to start with something that we already know the value of. Fonding a proper price with a dual elemental mana crystal is a simple matter inparison with a weapon or item never before seen in the kingdom." Markus Raven was also supportive of this while he began calcting a price range for dual elemental mana crystals that were a rare auction item currently. Having an influx of them would make a ssh but it would bring about a positive and open change to the kingdom.


    "Well, then what should your kingdom, be bringing here? That is a bigger question?" The elder was sure that there was a great many things that would leave their kingdom. However, the things that woulde also needed value.


    "We have items from the demi-humans that can jump start your knowledge of their culture more. There are also goods we receive from the opposite side of the swamp. I believe you do not trade with the merfolk?" This was enough to make the elders incredibly interested.


    Walker started to head away. He was d to see that there was a focus on Remey now and what she was suggesting. Walker had not expected her to be ignored in such a way but was proud of her for remaining calm and leaving it to Midnight to stop the arguments and stop the conversation.


    He turned his gaze from this group and back to those discussing the guild. There was a great deal of information being shared and he could not say he was not curious.
