In the afternoon, Ron arrived as agreed at Frederick's private workshop.
This expert in Enchantment had evidently made thorough preparations for today's guidance.
The entire workshop had been rearranged, with various precision instruments and material samples neatly organized.
But unlike usual, Frederick appeared particularly tense today.
His left hand was constantly adjusting the positions of the tools on the workbench.
This compulsive organizing behavior clearly went beyond the normal scope of preparation work.
"Welcome to my workshop, Lecturer Ralph."
Frederick warmly greeted Ron:
"Today, we will engage in an in-depth exchange on Enchantment. I believe it will significantly improve your skills."
Ron activated the "Hermit's Knowledge" to observe the subtle expressions of this middle-aged Wizard and noticed some noteworthy details.
There was a new small wound on Frederick's right index finger that looked like it had been cut by something sharp.
