Stepping down from the low-key black oak carriage of the Pope's Palace, Horn was followed by Kerben and Senius.
Underneath the iron plaque of the Dragon Language Alchemy University Institute, one could see a dozen neatly arranged alchemical reaction vessels.
Compared to the tall and bulky alchemical reaction vessels used for refining mountain copper and peat, these experimental reaction vessels were relatively smaller.
They were clamped in the middle by wooden or iron stands, less than a meter high, placed on tabletops, with an inlet at the top and various outlets at the bottom.
These long, red ceramic pots had a dark red metallic glaze, and the electric gold inlays on the alchemical vessels emitted a faint watery glow.
Horn and the others arrived just in time as the fourth replication experiment was nearing its conclusion.
In front of a peat furnace, several alchemy students were venting and cooling down an alchemical vessel.
