Semua Bab Life After Prison: Bab 1721 - Bab 1730

Severin smiled and extended his hand toward Heidi. "You flatter me, Miss Heidi. Your team's overall strength is much greater than mine, and we're of the same attainment level too. It would be more accurate to say that we will have to look out for each other during this expedition."Heidi chuckled upon hearing that. "You're being too modest! I firmly believe that your combat ability far exceeds mine despite our similar attainment levels. I also have faith that you, as an alchemist, will make a breakthrough to level one royal saint."Severin did not anticipate her to be such a smooth talker. She grinned and replied, "Don't worry. We're all from the same sect, so it's only natural for us to look out for one another in there. Let's all have each other's back and remain vigilant."Heidi then produced a flying sword. She enlarged it and hopped on with her team before ascending into the air. Meanwhile, Severin took out his flying sword and got on with 1,200 of his team members."This will

Wuhlricht nodded and said, "Those in the late and peak stages of level nine saint will probably only need one pill, while those in the early and middle stages will likely require two."Felipe chimed in with enthusiasm. "We might be a first-tier sect, but the gap between our sect and the upper-class first-tier sects is still rather big. This is especially so in terms of the number of royal saints, as other sects far outnumber us. Now that Elder Severin is a fourth-grade high-rank alchemist, we will soon see the addition of many royal saints in our ranks. This way, that gap I mentioned will narrow considerably even though we're still some way off from catching up to them."Wuhlricht commented admiringly, "Severin is full of surprises. I'm still in awe of his alchemical talent." Following a pause, he continued, "But it's important for us not to divulge the fact that our sect now boasts a fourth-grade high-rank alchemist, especially while Severin is away. If other sects are aware of his

Wuhlricht smiled and replied, "Why would I ever lie to you about something like this? Everything I said is the truth. Severin is the father of your child. He was the man who saved you."Following a pause, he continued explaining, "You can't expect him to tell you the truth under those circumstances. He's simply been waiting for the right time to reveal everything to you, hoping that you'll understand. But now that things have come to this, I would have to be the one to tell you."Wuhlricht's explanation caused Gilda's emotions to shift from the verge of tears to a mixture of relief and amusement. "I see. I never would have thought that he was the child's father. Guess I no longer have anything to worry about then."All of a sudden, Gilda frowned again and asked worriedly, "But what if he only confessed to me and treated me well because of guilt and responsibility? I can't tell for sure if he genuinely cares about me."Wuhlricht burst into laughter and reassured her. "Haha, you don'

All of a sudden, a disciple pointed to their left and exclaimed, "Look! There's a group of people over there!""They're probably disciples from other sects," Heidi mused. "They would have a set of tokens that represent the twelve oriental zodiac signs. The complete set of tokens function essentially as a key."Jarvin, one of the disciples with Heidi's group, added with a smile, "We used to have only one key, but now we have two. Having so many new disciples join our sect has proved to be very positive for us!""Haha, that's right!" Everyone smiled, eagerly anticipating their foray into the realm. Since every new disciple of the sect had to be a first-time entrant, more than half of the 2,400 people accepted into the Skyblue Sect were saints. The remaining majority were warrior emperors. Since the sect was a properly-administered first-tier sect, the warrior emperors consisted predominantly of level six or level seven warrior emperors at the very minimum. Only a handful were lower th

Many people were generally under the impression that those who had achieved a high attainment mainly through the use of pills were not as strong as those whose attainment was acquired through experience. It was generally thought that those who relied too much on pills to accumulate attainment did so at the expense of proper combat experience, and alchemists generally had insufficient time for honing their combat skills too. Their combat effectiveness thus became greatly diminished, making them vulnerable to being killed when faced with a more experienced adversary.As time passed, representatives from two more sects arrived. Heidi explained who they were to Severin and his companions. Both sects were second-tier sects, and they both positioned themselves cautiously at a distance in apparent apprehension."They appear to be very cautious," Severin observed."As they should," Heidi said. "Those from second-tier sects are relatively weaker than those from first-tier sects. Even though
