Mithra was brewing a potion in front of an alchemy workbench. When the old alchemist saw Angor coming from the corner of his eye, he signaled Angor to be quiet and wait.
Angor politely stood aside. This meant Mithra didn't mind him watching.
In the field of alchemy, Mithra was one renowned figure who belonged to the "Reformer" school. As the name suggested, they perused new theories while gradually giving up old ones, retaining only the most useful elements in all kinds of alchemy works.
Angor didn't know much about Apothecary. To him, Mithra's potion tubes and how different-colored liquids moved through different devices and containers looked exactly like what certain scientists did in some of the Earth movies. However, the flames and other spells wielded by Mithra all told him that this was not Earth.
Time slowly went by. When a hanging clock told Angor that it was noon, Mithra finally halted his task.
