Severin replied somewhat helplessly, saying, "Well, it's not like there's anything else we can do to speed things up. They're actively making inquiries about the two halls. Dracodom might be big, but we only have a few cities left. We probably will receive news soon, if we look at it from that perspective."
Sofia grinned slightly and asked, "When do you plan to visit my father at the Stormy Moon Sect? You said you'd come with me, didn't you?"
"Let's rest for a couple of days first. We just returned, after all. I'll take this opportunity to refine some pills and catch up with the other hall masters. Give me three days before we set off," Severin replied with a smile.
"I'll come along!" Sheila promptly declared.
"Me too! I haven't seen the sect yet, and I'm curious to know what it's like," Diane added enthusiastically.
"Can I come along?" Elsa appeared out of nowhere with her hands behind her back. She was smiling slyly after overhearing their conversation.
"You seem to be in a very good mood, Elsa. How has your progress been during our absence? Have you managed to understand the recipes and materials?" Sheila asked curiously upon seeing Elsa's cheerful demeanor.
Elsa smiled and replied, "I am in a good mood! I've become an alchemist now. I might just be a first-grade low-rank alchemist, but that's already more than enough for me."
"What?! You're already an alchemist?"
"A sumptuous meal, you say? He can do that with a lift of his finger! Tell him to prepare some barbecued rabbit meat for you. I'm sure you'll find that rewarding," Sheila chimed in with excitement.
Severin blushed slightly when Sheila brought up his barbecued rabbit meat again.
"Barbecued meat? That sounds a little greasy. I don't like greasy food," Elsa blurted out without much thought.
Severin immediately agreed, "It is, and it's also quite troublesome. Barbecuing takes a lot of time. Shall we dine at a five-star hotel instead?"
