Cyril, Simia Hall’s great elder, smiled as well. They had been searching for Dracodeus Temple’s leader


    for many years. As time passed, he began to suspect they had been deceived by the old wacko.


    However, the arrival of a new supreme leader, one who was also a fourth–grade low–rank alchemist,


    left him incredibly pleased. After all, alchemists of such a caliber were revered


    wherever they went.


    Severin took out over twenty second–grade low–rank pills and handed them to Shirleen. “Take these


    pills and hand them out to the other elders and protectors. This will allow them to improve


    their attainment over the next two days, after which it will be time for us to set off.”


    “Thank you, sir!” Shirleen expressed her gratitude and took the pills in glee. She then said, “Please


    Cyril then said, “You’vee a long way, Supreme Leader. Please rest up. I’ll have someone


    prepare some good food and fetch the best wine for our celebration tonight.”


    “As we should! I’ll leave you to handle that, then!” Shirleen urged.


    After some thought, Severin suggested to Shirleen, ‘Hall Master Shirleen, I heard that a certain.


    faction forced you here. Would you like my assistance in seeking revenge and eliminating them?”


    Shirleen smiled and replied, “That shouldn’t be necessary. We had some conflicts with two or


    three factions previously, and one such conflict resulted in a very severe battle. We managed to


    win against them in the end, but we were left severely injured as a result. We left the city where


    we came from because we feared reprisals from the other factions. This became an area where we


    sought our refuge to recuperate.”


    “That’s good,” Severin remarked with a nod. He was relieved that the situation was not as dire as


    he had first imagined.


    Cyril left and promptly informed the rest of the hall about Severin. The joy and excitement were


    contagious, spreading across every single member of the hall.


    Shirleen, with the assistance of the great elder, organized a meeting with the other elders and


    protectors. It was there that they distributed the pills Severin had given them. Seeing as the hall


    was rtively small, there were still two pills left over after each elder and protector received


    theirs. Those two extras were given to two of their most exceptional disciples as a reward. The


    revtion that Severin was a fourth–grade low–rank alchemist made everyone even more ted.


    That evening, they all gathered to dine together, and Severin shared insights about the Dracodeus


    Temple with Shirleen, Cyril, and the other members.


    “It’s incredible to think that the other hall masters have all reached the level of a warrior emperor!


    I’m way behind them,” Shirleen expressed her surprise and slight disappointment upon learning


    of that. The other halls of Dracodeus Temple were much stronger than Simia Hall.


    Gracie grinned at Shirleen and added, “But the main reason is that you had to seek refuge here,

    which made it challenging for us to find you. If we’d located you two months ago, you would have


    be a warrior emperor by now. We’re no longer in a rush to make any further breakthroughs


    though. Our supreme leader instructed us to train ourbat techniques in our spare time


    because we’ve already reached his uncle–master’s target,” Gracie then exined.


    “What sort of target?” Shirleen asked in confusion, prompting Gracie to exin the agreement


    between Severin and Wuhlricht.
