That's true...I have heard that there are some smaller countries where alchemy isn't practiced at all. [which is still super weird to her, but oh well! they are probably just in some hillbilly town in the middle of nowhere then.]

Classics? [she frowns, looking over the books] I am not familiar with any of these authors, but it could be just that my studies have focused more on Xingese writings or subjects relating to alkahestry.
