Two sky-blue crystal cluster golems helped Mage Edmund open the heavy door of the laboratory, and the master of the lab waved to Bartlett, signaling him to follow.
Bartlett had heard that the alchemy lab was an extremely private and secret place for mages, rarely permitting strangers to enter casually, its importance second only to the core furnace of a magic tower. Of course, for mages without a magic tower, the laboratory naturally ranked first.
But this Mage Edmund was quite generous, leading him directly inside.
Bartlett led his mount forward and saw a spacious corridor. The walls on both sides of the corridor were painted with various bizarre creatures: dragons such as the colorful and metallic ones, magical beasts such as multi-headed snake lizards and purple insects, and monsters such as petrified oxen, winter wolves, and thunder lizards.
