It was Rose who spoke up in retort!
She had come back at some point, her face as cold as frost, and said to the middle-aged man, "Mr. Jefferson Kinsley, please apologize to Lord Ronan!"
"Apologize?"
Jefferson Kinsley adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, sneering, "Why should I apologize? Let everyone be the judge, do you think this Ronan looks like an Alchemist?"
Ronan indeed did not look like one!
As one of the top professions among Transcendents, Alchemists are very few in number, spending most of their time doing experiments in their alchemy rooms, making them a rare sight.
In the stories sung by bards, an Alchemist typically appears in robes with a pointed hat, a long white beard nearly dragging to the ground, glasses perched on their nose, holding tools in hand.
There is a basis for this imagery in reality, as some Alchemists truly resemble this description.
The most crucial point is that most Alchemists are quite advanced in age.
