I kept my cool even after seeing the current poor situation of the kitchen I am about to work in. I was at least glad that I have somewhere to cook.
I walked towards the stoves and looked into its mechanism. I was indeed correct about it being powered by magic since underneath the stove, instead of a place to put firewood, it was made of solid rock. The difference is that there was a small and round indentation right under the stove top. It was fitted with a clear crystal the size of a sugar cube melon where mana would be injected to create some sort of heat for cooking.
Lir was watching me closely as if expecting that I will complain about the place he brought me to. I looked at him while pointing on the stove instead, "Just to be sure, this crystal, I just need to inject mana inside it right? That's for turning on right? How would I turn it off then?"
