"Mr. Fisher, welcome."
It turned out Philone's laboratory was not inside his mansion but in a courtyard outside, specifically in a modest-sized room marked "Philone's Laboratory" at the entrance.
By the time Mr. Fisher was led there by the maid, Philone had already shed his suit jacket, revealing the leather straps covering his body, designed to secure his prosthetic arm and gas mask. If not for the somewhat terrifying gas mask on his face, he would have indeed been a graceful Nali gentleman.
Even after some tidying up, the room still appeared somewhat cluttered. On the lab table at the back, resembling a workshop, many large steam machines were placed. In front of the workshop, there were two huge bookshelves filled with books.
Fisher scanned the titles and, with a keen eye, recognized one of his published works named "Good and Evil: A First Look at Ethics."
