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
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."Stark
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 als
Sheila also said excitedly to Severin, "Awesome! The combat technique you gave us previously was good, but it's not very high in terms of grade. This one even sounds so intimidating."Severin smiled and said, "Well, I need to prepare some combat techniques for you since your attainment is already on the verge of a breakthrough to warrior king. I personally learned this combat technique when I fought against Deborah from Shadraw. Her technique is good, but her attainment is so far behind mine that she would never be a match for me."Severin then paused briefly and said to the two women, "A person's combat ability has a lot to do with their level of attainment. After all, there is a big difference in attainment level, and the strength of a particular combat technique would be different too. For example, a warrior king could easily defeat a profound master.""What is Shadraw anyway? Why did the members of the organization attack you? Was that Deborah a woman? Why did she want to kill y
