Semua Bab Life After Prison: Bab 1651 - Bab 1660

"Fourth-grade low-rank materials?" Felix and Harris were left utterly dumbfounded upon seeing the materials Severin had unveiled. It did not cross their mind that Severin would attempt to refine a fourth-grade low-rank pill. If he succeeded, there would be no doubt that he was a fourth-grade low-rank alchemist.In that instance, it was highly likely that their sect leader had scouted him and made the necessary living arrangements for him in the sect. Consequently, there was not much that they could do about it if Severin were indeed a fourth-grade low-rank alchemist who had been permitted to reside there."After you, then. I'll have no choice but to concede defeat if you manage to successfully craft your pill. My skills are capped at third-grade high-rank. I'm not capable of producing pills any higher than that," Igor declared after considering the matter for a while. He had spent the past few months attempting to craft a fourth-grade low-rank pill but made insignificant progress in

"Did you make some sort of bet with him?" Harold asked with an odd expression. Observing Severin's alchemical expertise had been immensely instructive for him. It would offer much potential for him to improve his standards once he went back to reflect upon what he had learned.Igor nodded bitterly. "I didn't expect such a formidable alchemist to join our sect."Severin smiled and spoke up, "Ahem. Well, you've lost the bet, so you should hand over…""I will address you with the utmost respect from now on. Your demonstration has been such an inspiration, and I have gained much insight from it. I hope that you'll be so kind as to provide us with some guidance if such an opportunity ever arises. I will be very thankful for that," Igor remarked as he took out ten fourth-grade low-rank spiritual herbs for Severin. Many alchemists put on an aloof demeanor in the presence of other disciples or protectors, showing only the most profound of respect when addressing alchemists of higher rank.

Severin put two and two together after hearing the conversation. 'Is Gilda sick?' Severin wondered.Though Gilda had a smile on her face when she saw Wuhlricht, Severin observed that the smile appeared forced. It was likely a conscious effort to prevent Wuhlricht from worrying too much about her.Before Wuhlricht could say anything else, Gilda said, "But I've gotten over it, Dad. All humans eventually die. If I can't be cured, then so be it.""Are you sick?" Severin frowned and observed Gilda's body intently. He could only frown after attempting to diagnose the issue because Gilda appeared entirely healthy. His medical knowledge proved scant in identifying her ailment, but there had to be an explanation as to why she would faint thrice in a day. Severin was puzzled as a result."Who is this?" Gilda wanted to shift the focus away from her health, so she turned her gaze toward Severin and asked about him.Wuhlricht introduced Severin with a smile, "This is my senior's disciple, Seve

Wuhlricht, however, continued to scrutinize him and asked, "I'm not looking for a politically correct answer. I'm asking what you think. Do you find her attractive?"Severin felt awkward and tried to avert his gaze. "Yes, I do. Who wouldn't? But I only just met her. It doesn't seem like the right time for you to ask such a question."Wuhlricht then explained, "As long as you find her attractive, the appropriateness of the question doesn't matter. I don't have time to beat around the bush. There's something I need your help with."Severin was stunned for a moment. "What could I possibly be able to help you with? What else is there that someone of your high attainment can't do? Is this related to the black tower?"Wuhlricht shook his head and responded, "My daughter possesses a unique negative-energy constitution known as the Ice-Blood Constitution. I'm sure you've heard of it before."Severin exclaimed in shock, "I didn't think that people with such a constitution existed."He kne

Wuhlricht then looked at Severin all of a sudden and addressed him, saying, "I can tell that you're a responsible person, Severin, and I'm glad you're willing to take responsibility for Gilda." Following a pause, Wuhlricht continued, "I do hope that you'll both be together eventually, but I'm afraid it's not very likely to happen. Winning her heart in a short time will be a herculean task, especially since she's already engaged and loves a young prodigy very much. That being said, you're the only one who can save Gilda."Severin nodded and finally understood everything. "I see. No wonder you're keeping your plans a secret. She will never agree because she's in love with someone else, but you, as her father, cannot bear to watch your daughter's demise."Wuhlricht sighed. "Do you understand my dilemma now? I have no other option. No parent would stand by and do nothing when they know that there's a way to save their daughter's life. Besides, a lot of men and women do not save themselve
