Chapter 605
“I have nine more halls to locate, so I guess I’ll just have to give it my all!” Severin could not help but lament. “I still have to find some spiritual herbs and alchemical materials or else I wouldn’t be able to do any alchemy.”
Wuhlricht, however, smiled again and directly took out a spatial ring, which he tossed to Severin. “Don’t worry, I’ve prepared a lot of materials for you already. There are first-grade and second-grade spiritual herbs here, as well as other supplementary materials that you might need. The only thing that’s not in there is third-grade spiritual herbs! Without these, you wouldn’t have a chance to succeed in reaching that goal, since you would have to look for the nine others in addition to gathering the materials for alchemy.” Severin took the spatial ring, glanced at its contents, and immediately opened his mouth wide in surprise. There were indeed a lot of spiritual herbs in it. Two hundred stalks of first-grade low-rank spiritual herbs were heaped to one corner, while a similar number of first-grade high-rank spiritual herbs were placed in another corner.
The second-grade spiritual herbs were lesser in number, at 100 stalks. At another end were the supplementary materials that would be used for alchemy.
“You are too kind and thoughtful! Words cannot express how much I love you right now!” Severin said excitedly.
However, Wuhlricht shot Severin a look of disgust and said, “Spare me all that love, sonny. I’m not the slightest bit interested in you.”
After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment before saying to Severin, “You’re quite promising. though. I have a daughter named Gilda, and she’s as beautiful as a fairy. I think you might love her.”
Wuhlricht had already hinted at Severin from the beginning, but since the latter had no idea what sort of agreement Wuhlricht and Hartmut had, he could hardly make head or tail of what Wuhlricht was saying
then.
Severin answered without hesitation, “Don’t you think you’re being overly generous? You gave me so much treasure, and now you’re offering your daughter too? This doesn’t seem right!”
“What’s wrong with it? She’s a twenty-something woman who’s talented, good-looking, and has a much. higher attainment level compared to yours. Do you have any idea how many young men have been trying to woo her heart, only to fail because I didn’t agree to them? You’re a lucky bloke, you know, and still, you’re telling me that it ‘doesn’t seem right?” Wuhlricht’s face sank, and he looked slightly angry.
Severin could not understand what was going on at all! It was his first time meeting Wuhlricht, yet he somehow felt that the man was trying to force him into a marriage. Besides, he never even saw Gilda before, and he had no way to tell if Wuhlricht was exaggerating.
Even so, Severin could not help but feel curious about Gilda because she was much more powerful than him despite her young age.
In the end, Severin still smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m sorry, but I already have a wife. You’re a formidable individual, and your daughter is amazing too. I’m sure she won’t fancy a married man like me, so we should just leave this at that.”
