L21. Nature's Bounty

"This field guide is a precious gift. I must do something for you in exchange."

"The book mentions a kind of plant in Sprites' Forest that can fortify metal."

"I happen to have some of that plant with me. If you bring me an Ax of Golden Dragon's Wings and a few other materials, I'll help you fortify it."

"That way, I can both perform an experiment and offer you some help simultaneously. It's a win-win situation!"

You've brought your materials? Great! I can't wait to begin the experiment. Roy rubbed his hands together, grinning.

Roy immersed the ax in plant sap, then carefully burned off the liquid over a gentle flame. He repeated the process a few times.

"Success! And on the first try!" exclaimed Roy, examining the shimmering ax with a grin.

"Thanks to the detailed account recorded in this field guide, the experiment worked out nicely." He handed you the ax.
