Bab 239: Visiting The Alchemist Shop (2)

The Alchemist shop is a wooden, sprawling single story building, with a white shingled roof and a smooth stone floor. It looked decent on the outside, but more grand on the inside after Anna had stepped in, holding Gemma's hand and keeping her by her side.

The air inside smelled magical when she breathed in, and several candles were lit and placed on the candle stand, brightening the whole place. The fancy dark blue curtains were opened, making way for the light outside to pour into the room, and she could see everything more clearly now.

Anna could still hear chattering from the people who waited outside, hoping to get in soon before the Alchemist's son leaves for the day. She would have stood in line like the rest of them, waiting to go in, but thanks to her sudden rank in Viscarrian, she was granted quick access.

She was more surprised that they knew about her, meanwhile she knows none of them.
