Shortly after, Rhodeby the Fortress entrance

Indeed, judging from their appearance, they seee into the alchemy workshop They were dressed in the same red and white striped robe and a hat with a wide brim which only Alchemists wore However, Rhode quickly detected the differences between thehtly older at about 50 to 60 years old while the oldest man of the earlier bunch was at ave an impression which was more in line hat most people had of them—cultivated and refined in manner Compared to them, the bunch of idiots was more like uninvited bandits

Due to the previous conflicts, the uests They encircled the Alchemists eapons in hand while the Alcherumbles or resentment

However, Rhode wasn’t too mindful of this Instead, the senior that stood in the front of the group caught his attention The tall and sturdy senior had a long white beard that extended to his waist He wore a golden-fraht eye and carried a thick, hardcover golden book under his armpit He reseuide adventurers who had lost their way However, Rhode’s heart sank slightly as soon as he spotted hiuy to be here” Rhode knitted his brows and turned to Canary “Canary, I’ll leave theh the Alcheood reason, itdifficult since they sent this old fellow here Help ht back”

“Where are you heading to, Rhode?” asked Canary

“I’onna look for Lapis,” Rhode perked up his eyebrow “I think shefrom me Got to say, I didn’t expect that she kept such a secret… I’m rather curious to see what else other than the Beher a secret from me”

As soon as Rhode entered the alche by the corner nervously, as well as Christie and the little mermaid Got to say, Christie indeed had a unique charm Rhode discovered that his spirits had favorable impressions of her Not only Gillian and Celia, but even Celestina with the vicious tongue seldom commented about Christie Celestina dared to mock anyone before Rhode, but she always remained opinionless about Christie It was the same for Snow She was a newborn summoned spirit who had just been created in this world and was filled with curiosity and fear Ever since Rhode had summoned her, she had never left Rhode’s side at all and had always hidden fro their way back to the Fortress Although Anne and Lize had constantly showered Snoith s to interact with them On the contrary, Snow and Christie only looked face to face with each other and they had gotten so close together as though they were sisters who didn’t h Rhode didn’t kno Christie interacted with the little mermaid who couldn’t speak, he felt fortunate that he could hide from the little mermaid and meet up with Canary and Bubble to discuss his neordsmanshi+p

The little h her water ball curiously at the white paper on the desk Meanwhile, Christie revealed her rare, excited side as she drew on the white paper Both of therossed that they didn’t notice Rhode’s presence On the other hand, Lapis jumped off her chair and peeped at Rhode with uncertainty and a pale complexion, like a child as afraid of her parents repri a test

Rhode let out a bitter laugh inwardly as he observed Lapis’ behaviors He beckoned to Lapis for a talk in the roo her way there She was behaving as though she was about to step into an execution ground

“Have a seat” Rhode closed the door and gazed at the bewildered Lapis He didn’t expect that this young lady who appeared to be reserved and often tre with fear had actually hidden a secret from him He was too surprised by this…

Lapis nodded with her conditioned reflex and sat on the chair over cautiously However, before she had even adjusted her posture properly, she quickly stood to her feet and gazed at Rhode like a puppy as about to be abandoned by its owner “S-Sir Rhode, I didn’t ht, Lapis, calazed at the frantic young lady It seeets headhunted by others

Come to think of it, it was actually hilarious that the Alchemist Master of the Behermes Royal Family actually has such weak mental qualities If Rhode could transform Lapis’ attributes into values, perhaps her ‘determination’ points didn’t even have 5 points

“I’ you No matter the problem between you and the Alchemist association, you are still a part of the Guild and the Alche to think that they can simply snatch anyone away fro on Why are the people of the Alchemist association here for you?”

“…” Lapis finally heaved a long sigh of relief She hopped back on her seat and rubbed her hands together before gazing at Rhode worriedly “Sir Rhode… You won’t chase ry and hilarious at the same time and he was left speechless by this pitiful Alcheo through events for growth and their temperament, character, and willpoould be polished from them However, Lapis was different If it weren’t for the opportunities and coincidences, she wouldn’t have received the Behere and alchee It could also be said that they had fallen into her lap and even though she held skills in the Master Stage, her way of thinking was still that of a little apprentice

However, this wasn’t the problem that Rhode was an to ‘fool around’ with the Alchemist association

After Lapis had been assured that Rhode wouldn’t chase her away from the Guild or shut her in afterward, she laid down the burden and explained everything to Rhode in full details Actually the entire situation wasn’t that complicated After Rhode had left the Fortress and headed into Paphield, a visitor froion came to the alchemy workshop and hoped that Lapis could concoct a potion for hih she was cowardly, she wasn’t foolish Her alchemy workshop was the Guild’s property and it shouldn’t be used to help outsiders concoct potions and create Constructs However, that e sums of money as remuneration, but he had also revealed his identity: the visitor was a member of the Alchemist association and he came to the Fortress after he had heard about Lapis Not only that, but he also told Lapis that if she could help her concoct the potion, he would write a recommendation letter for her to join the Alchemist association

This was also the point that had caught Lapis’ attention After all, even though she possessed alchee, she was still an apprentice in status If Lapis could be recommended by sonized’ as a true Alchemist, it would undoubtedly be a dreareed?” Rhode said with twitched brows

He knew that Lapis wasn’t a firm person and that her true status was only an apprentice However, he didn’t take these matters to heart because, firstly, he had been occupied with otherwithin his considerations Secondly, Rhode didn’t know that status was so important to her So what if Lapis was an ‘apprentice’? She was an Alchemist Master who had the authentic skills, so why must he be bothered about the false reputation?
