Sheila's words were like a bombshell, shocking everyone present there. After all, even a level eight warrior king had to kneel and admit his wrongs before Severin. Logically speaking, only a level nine warrior king could achieve that.
They all thought to themselves, 'Is our supreme leader a level nine warrior king?'
"Now that we know of your strength, we no longer have anything to worry about." Nancy smiled. She then beckoned to everyone, "Have a seat!"
At that point, the waitress came in to serve them food and red wine.
After sitting down, Nancy asked Severin again, "Have you made contact with the other halls? I remember the previous supreme leader saying that he would establish twelve halls that would be named in Latin after the animals from the oriental zodiac. Then, on one fateful day in the future, someone who possesses the Dracodeus Ring would show up to bless us."
The great elder smiled and said, "I joined Gallus Hall simply because I was drawn to that promise of the former Supreme Leader. It has been several years since that promise was made, and we were beginning to think that the hall master might be duping us."
The second elder smiled subtly and said, "You are our blessing then, it seems. After all, you're an alchemist, and your abilities would definitely strengthen our hall in no time."
Severin smiled subtly and announced solemnly to everyone present there, "I guess you could say that I am a blessing for all of you, and this is especially so for Nancy here. I must ensure that her attainment reaches at least that of a level nine warrior king within eight or nine months."
"When you say at least level nine warrior king, do you mean to say that there's a chance to break through to warrior emperor? Isn't that equivalent to that of the three commanders? This is awesome! Will Gallus Hall finally be able to make it big?" Elaine was very excited when she heard that.
Over the years, Gallus Hall has been bullied or ridiculed behind their back because of their odd name. However, if their strength increased in the future, then no one would dare to make fun of them anymore.
Severin knew that the name Gallus Hall would be the subject of derision and mockery. He smiled lightly and said, "I've already located more than half of the twelve halls, and I believe we'll locate the rest soon enough. Once all twelve halls have been found, there will no longer be Gallus Hall, Equus Hall, or Canis Hall. We will all merge into one and be known as the Dracodeus Temple!"
