After a few days, In the opulent waiting room of Damian's mansion, a surprising and unexpected visitation took place. Aldas Turner, the esteemed dwarf guild leader, and the alchemist guild leader arrived with their entourage.
This duo's joint presence was a rare sight, as the two guilds often found themselves at odds due to their differing professions and ideologies. Dwarves considered alchemists to be mere shut-in nerds who dabbled in tedious research, while alchemists viewed dwarves as brute muscle heads who solved problems through force.
The sudden arrival caught the mansion's staff off guard, including Marcus, the head butler, who had been expecting a letter in response to their request. Nevertheless, Marcus knew the significance of these visitors and swiftly welcomed them, displaying his understanding of the benefits that could arise from amicable relations with such influential figures.
After cordially leading Aldas, the dwarf leader, and the alchemist guild leader to the exquisitely adorned waiting room, the atmosphere of mutual respect sets a different tone from their initial surprise.
Thanks to Seraphine's diligent efforts, the once-dilapidated room had been beautifully restored, reflecting the newfound prosperity of the mansion due to the precious treasure that she found.
"We must apologize for not sending a prior notice of our arrival. Our excitement to meet the creator of this blueprint got the better of us," the alchemist guild leader humbly expressed, feeling a bit ashamed for breaking the customary manner of prior notification.
However, his genuine enthusiasm to meet the mastermind behind the revolutionary blueprint was evident, overshadowing any breach of protocol.
"Ah, please do not worry about it. We are honored by your presence, and the creator is equally eager to meet both of you," Marcus replied with poise and grace, putting their esteemed guests at ease.
The camaraderie between the dwarf guild leader and the alchemist guild leader was indeed a rare sight, and the mansion staff couldn't help but wonder what extraordinary circumstances had brought them together.
As the air buzzed with anticipation and curiosity, a sudden turn of events surprised everyone. Seraphine swung open the door to the waiting room, her hands laden with numerous objects that made her movements somewhat cumbersome. Ever observant and attentive, Marcus immediately rushed to her aid, easing her burden and providing support.
The dwarf guild leader and the alchemist, who had been eagerly awaiting the meeting with the blueprint creator, were taken aback by the unexpected sight. They had anticipated encountering the young master or a seasoned inventor, not a young girl who appeared to be far from reaching adulthood.
Breaking the silence, Seraphine introduced herself with utmost humility, "My apologies for the delay, esteemed gentlemen. I am Seraphine, and I am indeed the creator of the blueprint that I sent to both of you."
Placing all the materials she had carried onto the table, she bowed slightly, showing profound respect to the distinguished guests and acknowledging their eminence in their respective fields.
The dwarf guild leader and the alchemist exchanged glances, their perplexity evident. They had not anticipated that the mastermind behind the remarkable blueprint would be such a young and unassuming girl. Nevertheless, they were intrigued by this revelation and eager to learn more about her prodigious talents and achievements.
As Seraphine unfurled the materials she had brought, the table was adorned with an array of papers and enigmatic magical scrolls. Both the dwarf guild leader and the alchemist leaned in closer, their curiosity piqued, as they wondered what mysteries and innovations this young prodigy brought to them.
When the conversation began, the alchemist leader, a middle-aged man with a demeanor of wisdom and knowledge, couldn't help but express his curiosity about Seraphine's age.
" How old are you, young lady? "
He questioned her, trying to fathom the astonishing capabilities possessed by someone so young. On the other hand, Aldas Turner, the dwarf guild leader, remained silent, his eyes fixed on Seraphine, unable to reconcile the notion that a mere fourteen-year-old could be the mastermind behind such complex inventions.
With unyielding confidence and poise, Seraphine replied, her hand resting firmly on her chest, "I may be young, but I assure you, Mister, my age does not hinder my ability to answer any of your questions or address your curiosities regarding the invention I've presented."
Seated across the table, Aldas was eager to scrutinize Seraphine's work and challenge her claims. The room fell into an intense exchange of ideas and knowledge as they delved deep into the intricacies of the blueprint. With every question Aldas posed, Seraphine responded eloquently, revealing an unprecedented understanding of the mechanics and principles behind her weapon.
Throughout the conversation, Marcus, the ever-loyal butler, served refreshments and snacks to sustain the intellectual discussion. As he observed Seraphine's remarkable presentation, he couldn't help but feel immense pride. A smile crept across his face, hidden from the guests, as he marveled at her brilliance.
In the midst of this captivating exchange, time seemed to pass unnoticed. Seraphine's youthful enthusiasm and passion for her craft were contagious, drawing the esteemed guests into her world of ingenuity and innovation. As the sun dipped lower in the sky, casting a warm glow over the room, the bond between Seraphine and her audience grew stronger and can almost be considered to be a friend with each other.
"I am truly in awe of your knowledge and understanding, Seraphine. Creating such a complex mechanism is truly impressive!" Aldas said with content from a wonderful conversation with Seraphine, which open a new aspect of craftsmanship for him
The alchemist leader also expressed his admiration, saying, "I never expected to see these elements come together to form explosive power. This is truly an innovation. With our world based on magic and mana, the development of science and technology has been quite slow. This is like seeing a whole new world!"
With a smile on her face, Seraphine announced to the group, "I know you're all excited over my invention, but there's more to come!" She unveiled more blueprints, displaying a range of innovative ideas that would rock the world. With Alice's help, Seraphine had designed a game-changing revolver gun and new chemicals that would shift the paradigm of everything in this world.
