Bab 87: Ch 88: An offer of a lifetime - part 1

"Alchemy? Never heard of it? What kind of magic is that? Where can I learn it?

Kolvar asked in a surprised voice. He seemed genuinely curious about what saved his village and all the water sources.

At first, Layla was surprised that Kolvar did not understand Alchemy. But on second thought, it did make sense that he did not know.

Alchemy might sound like an ancient concept, but it was new and had only been discovered for about five hundred years.

It was a significant time in human time, but for elves (ever-dark elves), it was only a blink of an eye. Time passed differently for both species, making it difficult for them to relate to each other.

Moreover, dark elves had been hiding for so long that it was a miracle if they knew anything about human civilization.
