When they eventually reached the end of the chimney and landed on solid ground, they were first blinded by a strong light. Nevertheless, when their eyes got used to the light, they were flabbergasted to perceive a mini factory, which was located at the basement of the store. Men of all ages, heights and weights were producing bread: some were rolling dough, some were adding yeast.
"What's going on? I didn't know they had so many workers," said Claire, confused.
"Look!" exclaimed Eliza after perceiving the familiar figure of Jasper Williams, who had just joined the team of workers and was given the most simple job of weighing dough.
"That guy over there is one of the missing men that Tom mentioned earlier," said Claire as she pointed to man wearing a hoodie at the far corner, who was putting bread in the oven.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Suddenly, the spies heard a high-pitched laugh: "Work, men, work! Make me bread to repent for your sins and be punished by the God of Bread Deipneus! HAHAHAHA!"
They looked in the direction of the voice and perceived a woman with pink hair, who was none other than Lyra.
