"The herbs they have here are very rare. Some of them are even unrecorded by most people because they are only grown by dragon viges. Have you seen the snowbells?" Remey was ranting about the amazing herbs that were here on the garden. The field of snow bells was really a side of the mountain that was covered in them. Calling it a field was a tough sell but since that was the way Remey said it, Walker didn''t argue.


    "They even dry the herbs and harvest seeds. The stored seeds and herbs they have are amazing. It has taken years to get something like this set up. I believe that having a trade with a dragon vige would be an incredible boon for the alchemy guild. I wonder how I would be able to connect with them when ites to business." Remey gave Illia a side nce waiting to see if she would respond.


    Feeling that Remey was waiting for her, Illia actually spoke up. She mostly responded since her judgment of Remey had been proved wrong and she wanted to rectify this in her own mind. "The rtions we have with other races is very minute. But if you have things that dragons need we could consider a rtionship to make a trade. We do not value gold."


    "Do you need dragon fruit?" Walker felt that it was rude for him to butt in on the conversation, but he wanted to help Remey. He knew how important the guild would be for every kingdom and that Remey was putting her heart and soul in to it.


    "That would be an ideal trade. Dragon fruit is a rare fruit for dragons and can easily be traded vige to vige for any goods. It is much more valuable than the gold that other races value." Illia did not hesitate to mention this. She knew well that dragon fruit would be perfect to have stored for the hatchling dragons. There was also the fact that the main viges would store as many as possible to use as rewards for tasks and trainingpleted by young dragons.


    "We have a tree growing but can expand that when the guild is built. It can be an arranged deal for when we get an annual harvest. I will write that down as a note if you can confirm it with those of your vige." Remey knew not to make a solid deal before there was a proper product grown. But this was a very strong starting point.


    "I will dly share the news. We could open our minds and share our herbs with you for dragon fruit." Illia was slightly excited to show Adair what she had discovered. It would be more than enough to appease any anger that Adair had towards her.


    "Then it''s a deal. When things are grown and figured out someone wille to form a contract." Remey was very pleased as well. The herbs that the dragons grew would be a very strong rare staple for the guild in the future. She couldn''t control her smile since the growth of the guild was always showing itself not to have limits.


    "Have you seen how they water the herbs here? They use magic. There are plenty of water affinity mages in the dragonkin that help take care of the nts. They pull water from the air and mist the herbs through the day." Remey changed mindsets and started to describe some of the methods used to care for the herbs. She had been making note of these methods as well since she was sure that she would be able to use them in the guilds'' gardens one day.


    "I think you should be able to gather some herbalists that might be able to use simr magic skills. It will be a good test for them when you are recruiting and hiring them. Plus you can have the new members help grow the herbs. It would be a good bit of knowledge." Walker could see the vision that Remey had and that wasing together.


    "Exactly. It will be perfect and can show them the full lifespan of an herb to a potion material to a potion and finally to the person that uses the potion." Remey felt aplished while she moved to the next flower bed and began to examine another herb.


    "Well, it looks like Remey is going to be lost in her own head for a while. Maybe we should move on to the flight training." Walker knew that Midnight was eagerly awaiting and her patience was running thin since she was not as interested in herbs.


    "It must be valuable to have an alchemist in your party. It is a good choice for a human party." Illia had considered it and found that based on what she knew, humans would need potions much more often than a dragon.


    "Oh, she is an alchemical brawler. She can make potions but also punch and kick a monster in to paste. It''s a unique ss. That''s a whole other story." Illia just looked at Walkers'' straight face and wondered just how strange humans had gotten or if it was just the group that hade to the vige.


    Midnight came over to Walker and nudged him on his side, "Yes yes, I know I will stop distracting Illia. You can practice flying." She was bothering him to get the focus back on what they were supposed to be doing.


    "I will put this on hold for now. The world outside of the vige may be stranger than I thought. Now, flying is a very important thing for a dragon. It allows you to stand above all. Unless you are an earth dragon. Then you may not care for it as much." Illia walked to the side of the gardens where it dropped off near the steps they had climbed. "This is where we will start." Illia whipped her tail around throwing Midnight off the cliff and in to the air.
