Chapter 1820


    Severin’s curiosity was piqued after hearing Rourie’s statement. He responded slowly, “As many of us


    know, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Please do share with us the details.”


    Rourie proceeded to exin, “To be honest with you, Elder Severin, our family isn’t considered among


    stronger ones in Nontwo City. We are not very confident of vying for a ce at the sacredke.”


    the


    He paused for a moment before continuing with a sigh. “Theke is open only once every twenty years.


    Those who wish to participate will need to pay the Grandiuno Sect a hundred thousand spiritual stones.


    Unfortunately, there’s no guarantee that we will be able to secure a ce simply by making that


    payment.


    We would still need topete with other contenders from other families.”


    Severin deduced that the Chorteaus might want him to join the tournament. At the same time, he could


    not help but wonder why the Chorteaus were not that confident despite their strength. “You’re strong,


    and


    you should be able to…”


    Rourie interjected before Severin could finish his sentence, “Perhaps you are not yet aware that the


    quotal


    is limited only to ten people. Aside from the mayor’s daughter and the level nine royal saints from the


    city’s first–ss families, there are at least ten unaffiliated practitioners who are also level nine royal


    saints. As you can see, securing a ce for my family is an almost herculean task.”


    Severin finally understood why thepetition was so tight. “That exins it. What do you propose we


    do, then?”


    Severin seemed willing to discuss it further rather than rejecting it outright. Rourie thus felt renewed


    hope


    in his idea for cooperation. He rose from his chair and said, “I would like to ask you to fight on behalf of


    the Chorteaus. It doesn’t matter how many ces you can secure. We wish only to have one.”


    Severin fell into contemtion rather than epting immediately.


    On the other hand, Wuhlricht and the elders beside him were ted. “Can I confirm with you that you


    only


    want one of the spots we secure?”


    They left the Skyblue Sect and came to that higher world to be a supreme saint. Securing a few

    ces for the sacredke for the Chorteaus would allow them a chance at achieving that. It was only


    natural for them to feel excited.


    With a smile, Rourie confirmed, “Yes. We want only one ce regardless of how many ces Elder


    Severin obtains.”


    He was well aware that the Chorteaus‘ chances of securing a ce at the sacredke were slim.


    However, they might be able to secure one ce with Severin’s assistance as a level nine royal saint.


    turn, affected their share of the city’s resources and profits.


    Having listened to the exnation, Severin nodded after a brief thought. “I agree.”


    Severin’s definitive answer brought relief to Rourie. He smiled and said, “I look forward to our fruitful


    cooperation then!”
