While the master forge furnace had been something interesting because it had yielded a new and unexpected result, there was more that Midnight and Walker had seen.
After leaving behind the master furnace which was very impressive, they had seen some of the buildings being worked on. The alchemy guild had similar processes for the smoke that would leave it as the forging areas. The pipes would provide heat for the city above and around. However, there was a catch there.
Where the forging would produce mostly smoke and useless fumes, the alchemy guild might have condensed smoke that could become important liquids used in further alchemy experimentation. Hence why Walker and Midnight were amazed to see that each pip being made as a chimney was directed through an ice formation to gather the steam and let the liquid get extracted.
