Chapter 2728


    Chapter 2728


    Elder Eliot had thought that it would not take long for Jackie to get tested for the inner valley.


    If Jackie passed the test, he would be an inner-valley alchemist. He would no doubt be an


    elder in the future, given his capabilities and talents. s, such ideals might not be certain after this


    hurdle.


    Elder Maurice could not help but feel a sense of pity, sighing in the process.


    He was silent for a long time before he said, “I still don’t understand something. Since this tournament is


    so important, why didn’t we use the alchemists of the inner valley?


    “Even though the outer valley’s alchemists are no weaker than the alchemists inside, I’m just worried that


    anything unexpected could happen. I’d use inner valley alchemists if it were up to me..


    “It might look like overkill, but it’s better to be a hundred people, just to be certain. It’s nothing to be


    embarrassed about, really.”

    Elder Baggins raised an eyebrow as he nced at Elder Eliot. He sighed lightly as he responded in


    exasperation, “Do you think we don’t want to use the inner valley alchemists? Do you think Sky Peak


    Pavilion is foolish?


    “What’s the point of this tournament if we used alchemists of the inner valley? Sky Peak Pavilion might


    as well just pay us and be done with it.


    “Of course, we want to use our inner valley alchemists. We even talked about it at Sky Peak Pavilion.


    However, they know about the structure within Phoenix Valley. The outer valley and inner valley are two


    different worlds.


    “Because of this, the higher-ups of Sky Peak Pavilion were adamantly against it.

    They said that there was nothing to discuss if we used inner valley alchemists. After much debate and


    discussion, we were forced to use outer valley alchemists.”


    Elder Baggins’ words surprised Elder Eliot. He put his teacup down as he straightened his back,


    frowning.


    “That makes sense, but why didn’t I know about this before? What’s the point of keeping this news such


    a tight secret? I thought we were just trying to show off, which is why I’veined about sending the


    outer valley alchemists to participate.”


    Elder Baggins let out a helplessugh. “You’re simplifying things too much. We can’t use the inner valley


    lately, either, or our rivals will catch on. It might cause even more problems.

    “I’m a little concerned with ude and Benedict, but there’s nothing much we can do about it.


    “There are no other candidates we can choose. Most of the good sprouts have all been chosen by the


    inner valley, and everyone left is wed.”


    Elder Eliot nodded. If he knew something like this would happen, he would have left a few good students


    behind. At the very least, they would have been able to deal with the tournament easily.


    Elder Eliot sighed before he suddenly looked up at Elder Baggins.


    “Why do I feel like you’re not really confident in the two of them?”

    Elder Baggins had not wanted to say it, but since the topic was brought up, he decided to be upfront


    about it.


    “I’m quite worried, to be honest,” he replied. “I keep feeling like the situation seems to be progressing


    very well because we haven’t found the main issue. Sky Peak Pavilion aren’t idiots, even if we don’t think


    they’re a threat. “Sky Peak Pavilion already had their eyes on this for a long time. If they weren’t


    confident, they wouldn’t have agreed to the tournament. Don’t forget that they’d be owing us a lot of


    things if they lost.”
