Gracie nodded. "I have people waiting where they are. I shall go with you when you have decided when to leave."
Severin gave that a thought and said, "It is best that we depart as soon as possible since we do not know what their attainment is. Let's leave first thing in the morning. I will inform Sheila and the rest of the team about this. How far are they from us?"
"It isn't too far away. If you travel with your flying sword, it will take less than two days to get there."
"Good, come over tomorrow morning. We shall leave together." Severin said finally.
"Understood, I shall take my leave now." Gracie nodded and left.
In the evening, Severin told Sheila and Diane about his plan and told them to continue with their training during his absence to locate Simia Hall with Gracie.
Sheila and Diane made good use of their time during the previous twenty-odd days. Both had made major breakthroughs, with Sheila reaching level one warrior emperor and Diane having become level two warrior emperor.
Of course, the others had made progress too, including Gracie, after having consumed the alchemical pills Severin gave.
While waiting for news of the Simia Hall, Severin spared no time in using the fourth-grade low-rank pills for his training. Even though the effect was not to his satisfaction, it was better than using the third-grade alchemical pills. After using two pills, he also made a breakthrough in his attainment, and he became a level four saint, while previously he was only a level three saint. This breakthrough meant his strength and power had at least doubled.
Coming morning, Gracie was waiting for Severin at the door. The two nodded at each other and flew into the sky.
Severin took out his flying sword, enlarged it, and both rode on it, flying toward where Gracie was pointing.
"Go this way, towards the Kun Mountains. That's where the Simia hall is hiding. They are located between the two mountains in front of Kun mountains. There are only very few small settlements in that area, that's why it took us so long to find any news about them," Gracie explained as she stood in front of Severin on the flying sword.
As for Severin, he accelerated the speed of the flying sword in order to shorten their time together to avoid the ensuing awkwardness.
Just as the sky became dark, a town appeared.
"We have reached Belington. Judging by this, we could reach Simia Hall by noon tomorrow. Let's put up here for the night," said Gracie as she stood up and looked ahead.
"Sounds good. Let's head out into town after we have settled our accommodation. It's about time to have a good meal."
Gracie could only nod in agreement. This was the first time she was alone with Severin, and she started to feel nervous. After all, this was such a rare and precious opportunity for her.
