" Baron Edward, it's an honor to meet. Thank you for blessing me with this opportunity. "
" Likewise. I've heard you're the best chemist around. So I had to see it with my own eyes. "
" I won't disappoint you. I'm an expert in my craft. "

" I would love to. "
* 30 minutes later *
" Well, here we are. My most beloved part of the castle. "
" What is it? A sanctum? "

" Great heavens... That statue is astounding! How did you even get that in here? "
" I didn't. I searched for the finest sculptor I could find and eventually stumbled upon a man named

" Do you still make use of it? "

" I see. "
" Anyway, I will stop wasting your time with this room now. You will be spending most of your time in the
laboratory. It's located in the library up ahead. Let me show you. "
