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, is he's the South County's governor."Elsa smiled. "Don't you have the au
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 wou
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 t
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
"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 m
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 le
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.
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
