章 578: Lapis's Worries

Shortly after, Rhode met the group of men which Anne had mentioned standing by the Fortress entrance.

Indeed, judging from their appearance, they seemed like the bunch of idiots that had tried to barge into the alchemy workshop. They were dressed in the same red and white striped robe and a hat with a wide brim which only Alchemists wore. However, Rhode quickly detected the differences between them and that bunch of idiots. This group of men was slightly older at about 50 to 60 years old while the oldest man of the earlier bunch was at most over 30. Besides, these Alchemists gave an impression which was more in line with what most people had of them—cultivated and refined in manner. Compared to them, the bunch of idiots was more like uninvited bandits.
