After hearing that, Severin could not decide if he wanted to cry or laugh. It was funny that his father-in-law was already thinking about getting his hand on one fourth-grade alchemical pill when he had not even tried to produce one yet.
He replied with a chuckle, "Don't worry. I won't forget you. But one is not enough so I'll prepare at least ten for you! Haha."
Birk's eyes widened. He said excitedly, "Really? You better not forget what you said!"
His reaction made Sofia roll her eyes at him. "Dad, you are so greedy! Severin hasn't even tried producing it yet. Do you know how hard it is to progress from third-grade high-rank to fourth-grade? It's a huge improvement and many people cannot achieve it their whole lives. I know he is very talented but you shouldn't rush him."
Birk smiled embarrassingly. "I wasn't rushing him. I only wanted to book ahead. Anyway, I have confidence in him and I believe he will become a fourth-grade alchemist in no time."
Severin chuckled. "Haha. Thank you very much. That's what I'm hoping for."
Sofia said, "Dad if you want that to happen, you should prepare more fourth-grade low-rank spiritual herbs for him. The type of spiritual herbs that are suitable for alchemy."
Birk patted his chest and promised, "Of course. If I have them, I will give them to Severin. And I will release more missions to the disciples. Any disciples who find fourth-grade low-rank spiritual herbs can receive a big reward."
Severin felt helpless and said, "Well, it's not like I wanted this. They are obviously here to take you away from me so I don't have a choice."
Sheila chuckled too. "That's right. If you didn't do anything about it, you can say goodbye to Sofia. That fat guy peed himself before he died. It was so embarrassing."
Diane smiled too. "Yeah! I know everyone is afraid to die but as someone who trained for so long, he should be prepared to die anytime. So many people died today but he's the only one who peed himself."
All of a sudden, Sofia became emotional. "I had no idea what a disgusting person Meldrick was. I knew him since we were a child and I never knew he would betray us."
