Ch. 1351..1360
Life After Prison Chapter 1351-Elsa had just completed her training. She was about to take a rest when someone knocked on her door. She expanded the range of her mental power to cover the yard area, and she could perceive everything.
“Why is Otto here with so many people?” Elsa frequently trained her mental power, which was much stronger than ordinary people ever since she was still young. As a result, he saw the situation outside in an instant.
Severin felt a wave of energy and glanced over in surprise. He obviously did not expect that the senior director would have such powerful mental power.
When Otto knocked on the door, Elsa walked to her seat and sat down, feigning indifference. “Come on in.” Otto walked in and closed the door. He did not notice that Elsa had earlier used her mental power to look at them. He smiled at her and said, “I have someone here who wants to exchange. spiritual stones with you, Miss Elsa. His name is Severin, ist he’s the South County’s governor.” Elsa smiled. “Don’t you have the authority to deal with exchanges of ten million high–grade spiritual stones? Does he want to exchange over that limit? He’s got some appetite.” Otto smiled wryly and said to Elsa, “He said he wanted to exchange hundreds of millions or even billions of high–grade spiritual stones. I don’t have the authority to approve this.” Elsa frowned when she heard that. In the end, she exclaimed in surprise, “Why would he want to exchange that many spiritual stones?” Otto continued, “That’s not important. He’s offering precious. items in exchange for the spiritual stones, and I believe it’ll be pills.” “Pills?” Elsa’s eyes lit up when she heard that. Everyone would be happy to accept pills, after all, and it was not as though they lacked any training and combat techniques. Any high–level pill was desirable even to those at the top.
Pills would be their top priority if anyone offered that to them.
“I take it he wants to offer me several pills in exchange for all those high–grade spiritual stones? First– grade pills aren’t worth it. You’ll need at least second–grade pills.” After thinking for a while, Elsa added, “But if it’s just a couple of second–grade low–rank pills, then I’m afraid you won’t be able to exchange them for much.” Otto shrugged and said, “He’ll surprise you for sure! You won’t regret it if you meet him.” Elsa pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at Otto. “I couldn’t even refuse even if I wanted to. You’ve already brought him to me.
Let them in, then.” “Right!” Otto smiled and ran out.
Life After Prison Chapter 1352-After a while, Otto brought them all to meet Elsa and did some introductions before leaving them alone.
“I didn’t expect the senior director to be so young and beautiful. To be honest, I was a little skeptical when Otto mentioned that you were a young, beautiful woman.” Severin could not help his surprise when he laid eyes on her. Elsa was beautiful–her skin was fair and her face was uniquely charismatic. The skirt she wore was slightly on the shorter end, which revealed a part of her thighs and made her look very youthful.
“Please have a seat, Mister Severin!” Elsa invited everyone to sit down. “I won’t exchange any additional spiritual stones for you simply because you’ve flattered me. We have strict standards in terms of exchanging spiritual stones with other items. Even if you and I have a good relationship, I am bound to carry out my duty according to the rules of our auction house.” A person like Elsa could be said to have a lot of influence in Oolong City. Naturally, that would mean she had already heard a lot of flattery from plenty of other people. She was quite neutral when Severin made that remark earlier.
Severin smiled and said, “I’m just telling the truth. I would imagine that it couldn’t have been easy to sit in this position.” Elsa smiled blankly and said to Severin, “Let’s talk business. Otto informed me that you were planning to offer some pills in exchange for spiritual stones.” Severin nodded with a smile. “That I do. I don’t have a lot of valuable things, but I can exchange pills with you since I’m an alchemist.” “Becoming a second–grade alchemist is a tough task,” Elsa began to complain. “My mental power isn’t too bad, and I’m very interested in learning alchemy. Unfortunately, I’ve been too busy here, and the two junior directors haven’t been able to make a breakthrough yet. I was planning to resign, go into seclusion, and find someone to learn alchemy from, but my resignation request was always rejected. I’ll have to wait until one of the junior directors breaks through to level eight warrior emperor before I get a chance. It drives me up the wall.” Elsa’s frustration was evident, and her angry expression was adorable.
Severin smiled and said, “I sensed your mental ability earlier, and I can say that it’s very strong. You have a budding talent for alchemy, but I’m curious to know how patient you are. Patience is a necessary skill in alchemy, as is a strong mental fortitude. Those who can’t stand failure are destined never to succeed because failure is a regular occurrence when you’re just starting alchemy.” .ה 373 Elsa nodded in approval when she heard what Severin said. “I didn’t expect your mental power to be that strong. I just used mine very briefly to know what was happening outside and yet you still discovered it.” “Your chance to resign might come sooner rather than later,” Severin said with a smile. “You’ll have a level eight warrior emperor soon enough.” “I sure hope so. The junior directors are training very hard, but even then, it’s not that easy to make a breakthrough.” Elsa smiled wryly. She then produced a small book with a flip of her palm and handed it to Severin. “Here’s the exchange rate for pills. Have a look and see how many pills you can offer.” In Elsa’s view, Severin would have to fork out large amounts of pills to exchange spiritual stones of over a billion.
Severin looked at it and expressed his surprise. “It’s incredibly detailed! Even the quality is taken into account! Pills of the same grade will have a higher value if their quality is better, with elite–quality pills being much more expensive.”
Life After Prison Chapter 1353-Elsa frowned and let out a chuckle when she heard that. “Of course. An alchemist like you should know better that there are different qualities even for a second– grade high–rank pill. The results of using different quality pills are different, and so is the energy.” Elsa then began to yearn a bit more. “When I finally resign.
from this position, I’ll ask a good alchemist to become my master and work hard under them to become an alchemist.” Sheila covered her mouth and chuckled with a smile, “You can consider learning under Severin, Miss Elsa. No one in Dracodom can come close to his proficiency in alchemy. You’re looking at the most powerful alchemist in the whole nation!” Severin was stunned to hear what Sheila said. He glared at her and said, “This isn’t the time for that, Sheila. We’re talking about serious business here.” Sheila frowned. “But I was being serious! You already have a handsome apprentice, so why not have a beautiful one too?” “Sheila’s right. Didn’t you just say that Miss Elsa is talented because of her strong mental power? It’d be good for you to have another apprentice,” Diane persuaded.
Elsa frowned because she felt that they were just bragging. She knew a few old men who were second–grade medium–rank or second–grade high–rank alchemists, and they all wanted her as her apprentice. By contrast, Severin was young, and she believed that he was at most a second–grade low–rank alchemist. She found it appalling that Sheila could boast about Severin being the strongest alchemist in Dracodom. It was a statement that none of the alchemists would believe.
Severin had always been the kind of person who shunned trouble. Elsa might have outstanding talent, but time was running out for him and he had no plans to accept another apprentice. He smiled and said to Elsa, “Let’s get on with exchanging the spiritual stones, Miss Elsa. I’m exchanging the spiritual stones because I’m looking to participate in the auction the day after tomorrow. I don’t have many spiritual stones on me right now.
Π “No problem.” Elsa nodded.
Severin looked at the booklet and said, “A single elite–quality second–grade high–rank pill can be exchanged for five hundred million high–grade spiritual stones. I suppose that means they’re very valuable.” Elsa smiled and said, “Of course. These pills are very rare. because second–grade high–rank alchemists are almost nonexistent in Dracodom, apart from some of the secluded sects. Even a single pill will be enough for a level nine warrior king to break through to a level one warrior emperor. You do know what a level one warrior emperor means, don’t you?” Elsa then paused briefly before continuing, “Five hundred million high–grade spiritual stones is not expensive when you put it in perspective. Under normal circumstances, no one would offer up such a valuable item unless they lack spiritual stones.” Severin nodded. “Third–grade low–rank ones are even more valuable. A single elite–quality pill of that grade and rank is worth three billion spiritual stones, or thirty million high- grade spiritual stones.” “Hehe, no one will offer third–grade low–rank pill. The price is there, but no one has been able to offer something like that,” Elsa said with a smile. From her point of view, Severin. mentioned that because he was in awe of the price, not because he had a pill like that to offer her. However, her smile soon froze when Severin produced two third–grade low–rank pills.
Severin then said, “I’ll offer two then. That should be enough. to exchange six billion high–grade spiritual stones.” “Gasp!” Elsa inhaled sharply.
Life After Prison Chapter 1354-Exchanging spiritual stones for those two pills would be a tremendous achievement because of how desirable pills were to most people.
“It… It really is a third–grade low–rank pill!” Elsa’s mind went blank for a few seconds. She then gulped and said in awe, Even the color shows that these are top–quality pills! I’ll give you three and a half billion spirit stones, with that brings the total to seven billion for two pills.” Elsa tried to remain calm, but the awe and shock that she felt were still resounding deeply in her heart. She was very certain that Severin was a third–grade low–rank alchemist, and an alchemist of that level was undoubtedly the strongest there was in Dracodom’s regular society.
At long last, she realized that Sheila had not been bragging at all. Severin was the real deal. She could only hope to get on the good side of an alchemist like him, so she immediately decided on her initiative to give Severin an extra five hundred million high–grade spiritual stones.
On the other hand, Severin smiled calmly and said to Elsa, “I think that should do it. I plan to save the elite–quality ones for my training, so I’ll only be able to offer the ones that are slightly lower in quality!” “You have elite–quality ones too?!” Elsa gulped. She doubted whether she misheard it. When she pinched herself calmly and felt a stinging pain, she was convinced that she had the honor of meeting a most powerful alchemical genius that day.
Severin’s ability to refine elite–quality third–grade low–rank pills suggested that he would have already turned into a third- grade medium–rank alchemist, or had stayed in the third- grade low–rank state for a long time already. After all, it was only with extreme levels of proficiency that he could refine such pills.
“Wait here while I prepare the spiritual stones. I don’t have. enough in my spatial ring, and I’m afraid I can’t exchange. seven billion high–grade spiritual stones for you. Some of them would have to be replaced with fine–grade spiritual stones.” Elsa said to Severin with a smile. “Don’t worry, though. The total value will still be equivalent to seven billion high–grade spiritual stones.” “I appreciate your help then!” Severin then waved his hand. and levitated the two pills in front of Elsa.
Elsa took out a small bottle, filled the pill, and then walked into a room. After a while, she came out with a spatial ring in her hand, which she threw to Severin. “All the spiritual stones are inside. You may have a look.” Severin caught the spatial ring and thanked her. He then M produced another high–quality third–grade low–rank pill and levitated it in front of Elsa. “This is for you. I’ve given a pill to those who have helped me today, so I hope you’ll be able to make use of this pill to get a breakthrough in attainment.”
Life After Prison Chapter 1355-“You’re giving it to me?” Elsa was completely dumbfounded. She was feeling super excited. Her red lips parted open slightly as she looked at Severin in disbelief. “Are you sure you want to give it to me?” “Of course! Is there a problem with that?” Severin smiled. He did not expect her to look so adorable when she was surprised.
“Thank you, Mister Severin!” Elsa gulped and thanked Severin after confirming that he wanted to give the pill to her.
Something clicked all of a sudden and she immediately asked, ‘ Did you give Otto a pill too? Wouldn’t that mean he’ll get a breakthrough soon? That will give me a chance to resign!” Severin had a speechless look when he heard that. “Don’t you get treated well here as the senior director? Why are you in such a rush to resign?” Elsa smiled awkwardly and said, “I’ve lost interest. I used to enjoy the challenge of fighting my way up the ranks, and I used to think it was fun because I got to see all sorts of treasures. However, I still rekindled my desire to learn alchemy. Even though there are a lot of people who would want to curry favor with me, I realized that I didn’t like socializing very much and prefer to live a much quieter life.” Sheila covered her mouth and giggled. “I can see that from your well–curated garden.” Elsa shrugged her shoulders, then smiled at Severin and said, Judging from your alchemical level, I can probably say with confidence that you’re the best there is. Do you think I’d get a chance to become your apprentice? Once I resign, I’d like to learn alchemy from you if that’s okay with you.” Severin did not know what to say. He did not expect her to take Sheila and Diane’s casual remark so seriously. He could only smile awkwardly and say, “Sure. I’ll be waiting for you at South Link City.” “Phew. I was worried you wouldn’t say yes.” Elsa was beside herself with joy when Severin agreed readily.
Severin smiled and said, “I can’t bring myself to refuse when you’re so talented. Besides, your attainment is already high enough that you’ll have no problems breaking through to level one warrior emperor after you eat the pill that I gave. Having a level one warrior emperor as my apprentice is something worth being proud of, especially if other people later find out about it.” Sheila then said in jest, “More importantly, your apprentice is a beautiful woman. You’ll have even more reason to be proud if she stays by your side.” “You’re all much more beautiful than I am,” Elsa replied embarrassedly to Sheila’s remark. She even blushed slightly too.
Sheila then said, “Nah, I don’t think I’m as pretty as you. I’m not as graceful as you either. You’re much more beautiful than I am.” “No, you’re more beautiful!” Elsa said with a blush.
Life After Prison Chapter 1356-Severin did not know how to react when he saw those two women teasing each other.
On the other hand, Felicia was all smiles. Elsa was a beautiful woman who had high attainment and worked as the senior director of the auction house. Should she resign, she would retain many connections in Dracodom. Severin had every reason to be proud of having her as an apprentice. Besides, feelings might develop between them with time, and it was even better to have someone as influential as her join the family.
Severin looked at Felicia’s smile and felt goosebumps. ‘Does. she have to be so happy that I took in an apprentice?‘ “Please allow me to bow down to you! Am I supposed to kneel and kowtow or something? I don’t really understand all these ceremonies and procedures,” Elsa said to Severin with an awkward smile.
Severin smiled wryly. “Don’t worry about all that. Just drop by South Link City and look for me when you’re done with your work. Tell the guards that you’re my apprentice, and they’ll let you in. I’ll give them a heads up when I return.” Elsa nodded in acknowledgment and took out her cell phone. Shall we exchange our contact information then?” Severin smiled and left his contact information with Elsa. He and his family then prepared to leave when a young man dressed in white walked over with a smile.
“Elsa!” The young man seemed to be very familiar with Elsa.
When he came in, he happened to see Severin talking and laughing with Elsa. In particular, he saw that Severin had handed Elsa’s phone back to her. His expression soured in an instant, and he said to Elsa, “Who is he?” The young man’s tone was rather impolite, and he looked at Severin with some measure of hostility.
His attitude did not sit well with Sheila, who immediately. asked, “Why don’t you introduce yourselves first?” The young man sneered and replied in a slightly arrogant manner, “I’m the senior director of Flalong Auction House in Shanyan City. I’m Elsa’s childhood sweetheart. We grew up together, lady!” Shanyan City was a huge city. Although the Flalong Auction House branch there was not as huge as the one in Oolong City, it was still of a decent size. The young man was also the senior director of that auction house, so his status was very high. It came as no surprise that he would speak in such a loud tone.
“What do you mean ‘childhood sweetheart‘? Don’t listen to his nonsense, Mister Severin.” Elsa immediately rolled her eyes at the young man and said, “When did you get the free time to come over, Starkel? Don’t you have an auction in another two days?” The man, whose name was Starkel Nigg, smiled and said. deliberately, “It’s because I miss you, Elsa! I came here just to see you! Besides, there are other senior and junior directors in charge of that auction. I had some spare time, so I thought I should come here and spend some time with you. I’m allowed to do that, aren’t I?” After saying that, he looked at the cell phone in Elsa’s hand and could not help but remark, “Did you just exchange phone numbers with this Mister Severin, right? I thought you were allergic to kids of upper–class families and governors. He might look handsome, but one look at him and you know that he isn’t a good person. Don’t fall for his tricks!”
Life After Prison Chapter 1357-Severin wanted to ignore Starkel at first, but he was not going to just let Starkel make such rude remarks about his character. He sneered. “What’s there to be so proud of when you’re just a senior director of an auction house’s branch? Whether or not I’m a good person isn’t for you to judge.” Elsa’s expression soured immediately and she retorted unhappily at Starkel, “The fact that they’re with me right now means that they’re my friends. How could you talk to my friends like that?” Elsa then paused briefly before adding, Besides, who I exchange numbers with is none of your business! I’m free to do whatever I want. Do you understand?” Starkel was appalled that Elsa would side with someone she just met and say something like that to him. He pulled a long face and became even more frustrated. With a snicker, he said, “I’m doing this for your good, Elsa. Look at all the women around him. Do you think someone like him will have good character? Governors nowadays are surrounded by women. Are you telling me this is the life I want?” Elsa gritted her teeth angrily and glared at Starkel. “Get out! I don’t want to see you right now! This man here is my master! I’m becoming his apprentice in the future, and I’ll be learning alchemy from him. Our relationship isn’t as debauched as you imagine.” “Your master?” Starkel was completely dumbfounded. He never expected Elsa to acknowledge such a young man as her alchemy master. After his initial surprise, he said hesitantly, Can he do alchemy? You don’t have to choose a man as your master, right? I know a second–grade medium–rank alchemist who’s a woman. It’ll be more appropriate for a woman to guide you in your learning process.” He then glanced at Severin and said, “He might get some nasty ideas if he becomes your master. What if he takes the opportunity to feel with you while teaching you alchemy? What are you going to do then?” Severin had been patient with Starkel since he came in, but he had since lost his patience and said coldly, “Didn’t Elsa tell you to leave? Or are you deaf?” “How dare you talk to me like that? Are you asking for trouble?
Starkel shot back angrily.
Elsa was a beautiful woman, and Starkel assumed that Severin was a womanizer because there were so many beautiful women around him. Elsa might have a high level of attainment, but she was an innocent woman who did not know a lot of men. Furthermore, he could not bear the thought that they might get along a little too well after countless hours spent together learning alchemy.
Those thoughts made Starkel even angrier. “I know a lot of governors, and they’re all very courteous toward me. So, what if you’re an alchemist? Elsa has a high attainment. Are you worthy of being her master?” Severin smiled coldly. “If you feel like you want to get beat up, I will happily oblige and show you whether I’m qualified to be her master.” In the blink of an eye, Severin flew out and taunted Starkel.
He wanted to teach Severin a lesson and show him what would happen if he offended him, but he did not want to be the one to bring that up because Elsa was there. With Severin taking the initiative to provoke him, he was secretly overjoyed. It came as a very pleasant surprise that Severin would willingly give him a chance to teach him a lesson.
“You asked for it, so don’t regret it!” Starkel smiled and flew outside to stand opposite Severin.
“I should be telling you that,” Severin said with a smile.
Elsa was startled by the sudden development. She immediately ran out with Diane and the others.
Life After Prison Chapter 1358-Elsa looked at the two men floating in the air and said to Diane, “What level of attainment does Mister Severin have? Starkel is a level seven warrior king.” Elsa was worried because she knew that many alchemists spent a lot of time studying alchemy at the expense of doing training. Some alchemists therefore had very low attainment. Starkel was considered one of the best in Dracodom, which was partly why he did not take Severin seriously even after knowing that Severin was a governor.
Diane replied with a faint smile, “Don’t worry, Miss Elsa. If I told you that the Four Great War Gods are my husband’s apprentices, would you still think that he might not be able to deal with that kid?” “What?” Elsa gasped, wondering if she had misheard Diane’s statement.
Megan also smiled and said, “Starkel is just asking to have his butt kicked.” “I won’t go easy on you,” Starkel had a smug look as he clenched his fist and produced a surge of spiritual energy. In a flash, he rushed out at Severin and threw a punch at Severin.
“Your speed is admirable!” Severin smiled. He clenched his fist and countered with a punch.
Starkel flew backward in the blink of an eye and finally landed heavily in the courtyard below. As soon as he fell to the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.
“But… How is this possible?” Starkel had a shocked look. He could not believe that he was unable to withstand Severin’s punch. In addition, he perceived Severin’s punch as being comparable to that of a level nine warrior king.
“Are you a level nine warrior king!” Starkel stood up in confoundment. He never heard of a province governor that strong before. Many of the province governors were powerful, but few county governors were that strong. At the very least, he had never heard of anyone stronger than he was.
Severin smiled and remarked, “A level nine warrior king? You underestimate me.” Starkel was left completely speechless. He finally realized that he had met a genuinely strong person– one that he was completely powerless against. He looked at Elsa and realized that she was looking at Severin with admiration. It made his heart ache, and judging by the way she looked at Severin, it seemed to be only a matter of time before Elsa would fall for Severin.
Life After Prison Chapter 1359-Starkel knew right away that he had lost to Severin. He was not as good as Severin, and he was hardly on Severin’s level. He had no choice but to accept that he was almost nothing in front of someone so strong.
However, he still could not resign himself to that crushing defeat. He walked up to Elsa, looked into her eyes, and said to her, “You know how much I care about you, don’t you? I feel compelled to tell you right now that I love you. I want to know whether you feel the same toward me. I hope you’ll give me an answer.
Elsa was momentarily speechless. She felt that she had made her stance clear when she rejected his repeated invitations to watch a movie with her. She has been keeping a distance from him since the beginning! Elsa smiled bitterly and said to him, I’ve always regarded you as a brother and a friend. I hope you’ll understand that.” Starkel had a disappointed look. He smiled wryly and said to Elsa, “Guess I’m the one who’s thinking too much then. I’ll leave.” Starkel flew up and left. Severin smiled wryly and walked up to Elsa. “I’m really sorry, Elsa. I didn’t expect to offend your friend.” Elsa smiled helplessly and said, “I can’t blame you for that. I never paid much attention to him before. He was always pestering me, and I’ve been a little annoyed at him too. It’s actually a good thing that I could make my stance clear this time. It’ll save us both the trouble in the future.” “We’ll be going then, Miss Elsa,” Diane said. “Come look for us in South Link City once you hand in your resignation letter.” “Let me see you all off.” Elsa smiled. She looked at the women in front of her and could not help but ask, “By the way, you guys haven’t introduced yourselves yet. You’re not all my master’s wives, are you?” Megan was taken aback by that question and immediately clarified, “I’m Megan. Severin is my brother–in–law. This is my mother, Felicia. My sister, Diane, is his first wife. Miss Sheila here is his second wife.” Elsa looked at Lillie and Wendy with a strange expression and frowned, “And what about these two? Aren’t they my master’s wives too? They’re so young and beautiful. Does my master only have two wives?” Severin cleared his throat awkwardly. “Ahem. Two is enough.” “They’re our family’s bodyguards, but they’re strong and they have high attainment. Wendy here is also the granddaughter of Mister Horace Newman, one of the war gods,” Megan introduced with a smile.
3/3 “Tsk, tsk! I didn’t think he’d be surrounded by so many strong people who have kept a low profile! Even the granddaughter of a war god is willing to follow him and become his bodyguard,” Elsa said in surprise.
“Okay, we should leave and let Elsa continue training,” Severin smiled and ushered everyone else out.
Life After Prison Chapter 1360-Elsa returned to her house after she was done sending Severin off. Once she closed her room door, she excitedly took out the pill that Severin gave her and took a big whiff of it. “This is amazing! It’s an elite–quality third–grade high–rank pill that will probably allow me to make a breakthrough to level one warrior emperor. Hehe! My boss might even give me a huge reward when I bring the other two pills back! Just thinking about it is getting me all excited!” Severin’s handsome face appeared in Elsa’s thoughts and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her lips. “I got lucky when I met such an amazing master. Why is he still roaming around in normal society if he’s so powerful? He’s also so proficient in alchemy that any sect would be more than happy to accept him! I’m so glad I could become his apprentice.
By then, Severin and his family were already on the street. Sheila smiled and said, “You’ve got yourself a very pretty apprentice now! Her attainment level is also very high. Do you think there might be a chance that we might get to see the apprentice fall in love with the master, just like in all those stories? You’re such a handsome guy, and I doubt she’ll be able to resist you if she’s by your side all the time.” Severin was speechless. He could only smile wryly and say, Why are you thinking about all that nonsense all the time? Do I look that charming to you?” “Of course! Why would Sofia go to all that trouble just to look for you? When she said that she was passing by the other day and happened to come and look for her savior, I have every reason to believe that she came to see you specifically because she’s fallen for you!” Sheila said while placing her hands.
behind her back.
Unexpectedly, Megan agreed with her. “It’s possible, you know. After all, you did save her life. Haven’t you watched any of those TV dramas where those women pledged to devote themselves to the man who saved them? Women appreciate having a sense of security.” Severin was speechless. He eventually said to the two of them, ” Are you going to go shopping or are you just going to talk about this all day long? We can go back right now if shopping doesn’t interest you anymore.” “Okay, okay, we won’t bring it up again. Yes, we do want to go shopping. It’s still too early to head back!” Megan said immediately.
Severin brought everyone to go shopping.
Since he did not have a lot of spiritual herbs, he did not bother to do alchemy and slept comfortably with his arms around Diane.
The next morning, Severin thought of something when he went downstairs and immediately asked to meet Diane as well as Sheila.
“Why did you call us here, hone? Is something the matter?” Diane looked at Severin. She then asked with a smile, “You’re not going to give us more pills, are you? We haven’t even used up the ones you gave us last time. You don’t have to be so anxious to give them to us. We’ll ask you for it if we need it.” Severin, however, shook his head. “No, that’s not what I called you here for. I have something to give to you two.” He waved his palm and took out a scroll. “This is a high–rank Sky–grade technique known as the Soaring Phoenix. You’re both going to make a breakthrough to warrior king soon, so you can start practicing this combat technique. It’s very suitable for women, and it’s the second–highest grade of technique that you would have. It has tremendous power.” “Yay! You’re the best!” Diane jumped up excitedly.
