Lapis's workshop was still as messy as before.
Rhode pushed the workshop door and the first thing that he saw was the large pile of magical materials stacked by the wall at the far end. Those incomparably valuable magical herbs, crystals, and ores were casually left there like a pile of trash. However, Rhode wasn't that mindful of them. Or perhaps, he was getting used to it. He picked up an iron bar by the door and knocked on the wall a couple of times. Soon, Lapis responded. "Who is it?"
"It's me," said Rhode.
"Ah, Sir Rhode!" Lapis shrieked in a higher pitch than usual. Rhode subconsciously shrunk his body because his body condition wasn't as strong as always and he wouldn't be able to resist it if there would be an explosion from Lapis' franticness.
